India Globalization Capital, Inc.
 
Our Business

Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)   
                                                                                                                              
IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed 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 or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, we completed an initial public offering.  On February 19, 2007, we incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.  On March 7, 2008, we consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% of the equity of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL). The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M.

Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL acquired by IGC were purchased directly from the companies. IGC purchased a portion of the shares from the existing owners of the companies.  The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL.
 
In connection with the acquisitions, IGC borrowed approximately $23,000,000 from Sricon and TBL, approximately $17,000,000 from Sricon and $6,000,000 from TBL   Principal and interest on the loans is due and payable upon the earlier of March 7, 2009 and the consummation of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of IGC.  The loans are unsecured and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
 
The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Under this method of accounting, for accounting and financial purposes, IGC-M, Limited was treated as the acquiring entity and Sricon and TBL as the acquired entities.  The financial statements provided here and going forward are the consolidated statements of IGC, which include IGC-M, Sricon, TBL and their subsidiaries.  However, historical description of our business for periods and dates prior to March 7, 2008 include information on Sricon and TBL.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company”, “IGC”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to India Globalization Capital, Inc, together with its wholly owned subsidiary IGC-M, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Sricon and TBL).

Background of  Sricon and TBL
 
Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) was incorporated as a private limited company on March 3, 1997 in Nagpur, India.  Sricon is an engineering and construction company that is engaged in three business areas: 12) civil construction of highways and other heavy construction, 2) mining and quarrying and 3) the construction and maintenance of high temperature cement and steel plants.  Sricon has a pan-India focus and is accredited with ISO 9001:2000 certification and its present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.  Sricon employs approximately 250 skilled employees and over 800 unskilled labor contractors.  It currently has the capacity and prior experience to bid on contracts that are priced at a maximum of about $116 million. Sricon recently won, as disclosed in a press release, a contract to build 150 miles of rural roads including one major and 33 minor bridges.
 
Techni Bharathi Limited (“TBL”) was incorporated as a public (but not listed on the stock market) limited company on June 19, 1982 in Cochin, India.  TBL is an engineering and construction company engaged in the execution of civil construction and structural engineering projects.  TBL has a focus in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam and Tamil Nadu. Its present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.
 
Core Business Areas
 
Our core business areas include the following:

 
7

 
Highway and heavy construction:
The Indian government has articulated a plan to build and modernize Indian infrastructure.  The government’s plan, which calls for spending over $475 billion over the next five years, includes the construction of rural roads, major highways and townships among other infrastructure.  We have approximately  $ 226 million worth of contracts in our order book including a $103 million contract to build 150 miles of rural roads including 33 bridges in the state of Madhya Pradesh, and contracts for the building of highways in Assam, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh totaling around $108 million.  In addition, we have smaller construction contracts amounting for  $15 million, including a construction contract in a township in Nagpur.

Mining and Quarrying
As Indian infrastructure modernizes, the demand for raw materials like stone aggregate, coal, ore and similar resources is projected to increase. In 2006, according to the Freedonia Group, India was the fourth largest stone aggregate market in the world with demand of up to 1.1 billion metric tons.  Sricon has five site licenses with two installed crushers and produces approximately 600,000 metric tons of aggregate annually.  The aggregate reserves in Sricon’s five quarries have a projected value of around $50 million.  India is the third largest producer of coal and fourth largest producer of ore.  Ten percent of the world’s coal reserves are in India.  We have a multiyear contract valued around $62 million for the removal of overburden  from open pit coal mines.  Overburden is the layers and rock covering the coal seam,  These types of excavation projects are necessary before mining can began.

Construction and maintenance of high temperature plants
Sricon has an expertise in the civil engineering, construction and maintenance of high temperature plants.   For example, we construct cement and steel plants.  This requires specialized skills to build and maintain the high temperature chimneys and kilns.  We have a multiyear contract valued around $60 million for civil engineering and maintenance of high temperature cement plants.

Our Growth Strategy and Business Model
Our business model is simple.  We bid on construction, mining and or maintenance contracts.   Successful bids increase our backlog of orders, which favorably impacts our revenues and margins.   The contracting process typically takes approximately  six months. Over the years, we have been successful in winning  one out of every seven bids on average.  We currently have three bid teams.   Historically, we  bid on multi-year contracts up to $70 million, but more recently, we began bidding on contracts up to $110 million.  Our growth strategy is six pronged: 1) increase the backlog of orders in the three areas of business to over $500 million, 2) recruit executives, business managers, and specifically three leads for the three lines of business, 3) recruit world class technical partners from the United States for each of our business lines, 4) eliminate or hedge risks associated with the volatility of commodity prices by, for example, ownership of aggregate quarries, mines, control over suppliers, or pass through contracts, 5) adapt a strategic and quantitative approach to building the business rather than one that is generic and short-sighted,  and  6) install systems better enabling corporate governance, USGAAP reporting and contract monitoring.
 
Indian companies have historically reported in Indian GAAP.  However we have increased the number of USGAAP accountants  and continue to strengthen  USGAAP reporting capability within our companies.  Currently, we have chief financial officers located in India at of Sricon and TBL.  In addition, we have a Chief Accounting Officer in the US.  Also, we have augmented the in-house teams with a Delhi based consulting firm that specializes in both USGAAP and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance.  Adapting best practices for reporting, governance, and monitoring is of immediate strategic value as it leads to a quantitative approach and, therefore, part of our growth strategy and business model.
 
Please see the “Risk Factors” section commencing on page 10 for more information concerning the risks of investing in our company.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus in evaluating us and our common stock and other securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop 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. We refer to Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited as Sricon and Techni Bharathi Limited as TBL.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY AND DOING BUSINESS IN INDIA
 
Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency, or an increase in interest rates in India, could have a negative impact on our ability to borrow in India.
 
Our road building business is a leveraged business. Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies as well as an increase in Indian interest rates may adversely impact our ability to finance growth through debt and could lead to a tightening of our margins, adversely effecting our business.
 
A change in government policy, a down turn in the Indian economy or a natural disaster could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
 
Our business is road building in India. Sricon and TBL, our road builders, presently conduct all their operations in India. Sricon and TBL are dependent on the government of India as well as the state governments for contracts to maintain and build roads. Their operations and financial results may be affected by changes in the government’s policy towards road maintenance and road building. In addition, a slow down in the Indian economy or its growth rate, social unrest, natural disasters, or a change in government could cause the government to slow down the pace of road building which could adversely affect our future performance.
 
Political, economic, social and other factors in India may adversely affect business.
 
Our ability to grow our business may be adversely affected by political, economic, social and religious factors, changes in Indian law or regulations and the status of India’s relations with other countries. In addition, the economy of India may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as the rate of growth of gross domestic product, the rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. According to the World Factbook published by the United States Central Intelligence Agency, the Indian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the economy, and privatization of government-owned industries proceeds at a slow pace. Accordingly, Indian government actions in the future could have a significant effect on the Indian economy, which could have a material adverse affect on our ability to achieve our business objective.
 
Since mid-1991, the Indian government has committed itself to implementing an economic structural reform program with the objective of liberalizing India’s exchange and trade policies, reducing the fiscal deficit, controlling inflation, promoting a sound monetary policy, reforming the financial sector, and placing greater reliance on market mechanisms to direct economic activity. A significant component of the program is the promotion of foreign investment in key areas of the economy and the further development of, and the relaxation of restrictions in, the private sector. These policies have been coupled with the express intention to redirect the government’s central planning function away from the allocation of resources and toward the issuance of indicative guidelines. While the government’s policies have resulted in improved economic performance, there can be no assurance that the economic improvement will be sustained. Moreover, there can be no assurance that these economic reforms will persist, and that any newly elected government will continue the program of economic liberalization of previous governments. Any change may adversely affect Indian laws and policies with respect to foreign investment and currency exchange. Such changes in economic policies could negatively affect the general business and economic conditions in India, which could in turn adversely affect our business.
 
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war involving India and other countries could adversely affect the financial markets and our business.
 
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence could have the direct effect of destroying our plant and property causing a loss and interruption of business. According to the World Factbook, religious and border disputes persist in India and remain pressing problems. For example, India has from time to time experienced civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries such as Pakistan. The longstanding dispute with Pakistan over the border Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, a majority of whose population is Muslim, remains unresolved. If the Indian government is unable to control the violence and disruption associated with these tensions, the results could destabilize the economy and, consequently, adversely affect our business.
 
 
10

 
Since early 2003, there have also been military hostilities and civil unrest in Afghanistan, Iraq and other Asian countries. These events could adversely influence the Indian economy and, as a result, negatively affect our business.
 
While we will have insurance to cover these risks there can be no guarantee that we will be able to collect in a timely manner. Terrorist attacks, or the threat of violence could slow down road building activity adversely affecting our road building business.
 
Exchange controls that exist in India may limit our ability to utilize our cash flow effectively following a business combination.
 
We are subject to India’s rules and regulations on currency conversion. In India, the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act or FERA, regulates the conversion of the Indian rupee into foreign currencies. FERA provisions previously imposed restrictions on locally incorporated companies with foreign equity holdings in excess of 40%, known as FERA companies. However, comprehensive amendments have been made to FERA to support the economic liberalization. Such companies are now permitted to operate in India without any special restrictions, effectively placing them on par with wholly Indian owned companies. In addition, foreign exchange controls have been substantially relaxed. Notwithstanding these changes, the Indian foreign exchange market is not yet fully developed and we cannot assure you that the Indian authorities will not revert back to regulating FERA companies and impose new restrictions on the convertibility of the Indian rupee. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use our cash flow for the distribution of dividends to our stockholders or to fund operations we may have outside of India.
 
Changes in the exchange rate of the Indian rupee may negatively impact our revenues and expenses.
 
Our operations are primarily located in India and we receive payment in Indian rupees.  As the results of operations are reported in US dollars, to the extent that there is a decrease in the exchange rate of Indian rupees into US dollars, such a decreae could have a material impact on our operating results or financial condition.

Returns on investment in Indian companies may be decreased by withholding and other taxes.
 
Our investments in India will incur tax risk unique to investment in India and in developing economies in general. Income that might otherwise not be subject to withholding of local income tax under normal international conventions may be subject to withholding of Indian income tax. Under treaties with India and under local Indian income tax law, income is generally sourced in India and subject to Indian tax if paid from India. This is true whether or not the services or the earning of the income would normally be considered as from sources outside India in other contexts. Additionally, proof of payment of withholding taxes may be required as part of the remittance procedure. Any withholding taxes paid by us on income from our investments in India may or may not be creditable on our income tax returns.
 
We intend to avail ourselves of income tax treaties with India and minimize any Indian withholding tax or local taxes. However, there is no assurance that the Indian tax authorities will always recognize such treaties and its applications. We have also created a foreign subsidiary in Mauritius, in order to limit the potential tax exposure.
 
Our industry depends on the stability of policies and the political situation in India and a change in policy could adversely affect our business.
 
The role of the Indian central and state governments in the Indian economy on producers, consumers and regulators has remained significant over the years. Since 1991, the Government of India has pursued policies of economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. We cannot assure you that these liberalization policies will continue under the present or under newly elected governments. Protests against privatization could slowdown the pace of liberalization and deregulation. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting companies in the infrastructure sector in India, foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other matters affecting our business could change as well. A significant change in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic conditions in India and thereby affect our business.
 
Because the Indian judiciary will determine the scope and enforcement under Indian law of almost all of Sricon and TBL’s material agreements, we may be unable to enforce our rights inside and outside of India.
 
Sricon and TBL operate under the laws of India. Substantially all of the assets of Sricon and TBL are located in India and the majority of its officers and directors and the experts named in this prospectus are outside the United States. Although India and the United States are signatories to the 1965 Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extra Judicial Documents in Civil and Commercial Matters, service under this treaty is cumbersome and time consuming, and may result in inadequate notice so that any judgment based on that service may be reopened, re-litigated and overturned. It is therefore unlikely that service of process on Sricon and TBL or their officers and directors can be obtained within the United States. Further, it may be difficult to enforce in India a judgment obtained in the United States. These difficulties stem from the lack of official judicial arrangements between the United States and India, which means that judgments of United States courts will not be enforced in India without review and re-litigation of the merits of their claims.
 
 
11

 
There is doubt as to the enforceability in India of actions to enforce judgments of United States courts arising out of or based on ownership of the securities of Sricon and TBL, including judgments arising out of or based on civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws. There is also doubt whether the Indian courts would enforce, in original actions, judgments against Sricon, TBL or the persons mentioned above predicated solely based upon United States securities laws.
 
Original actions may be brought in India against these parties only if the actions are not required to be arbitrated by Indian law and only if the facts alleged in the complaint give rise to a cause of action under Indian law, in which event, an Indian court may award monetary damages.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS
 
The cost of obtaining bank financing may reduce TBL’s income.
 
TBL has restructured some of its bank debt and may, in the future, face higher interest rates or will require higher collateral with the banks. This increases the cost of money for TBL and could decrease its margins. While IGC expects to provide collateral support for two to three years, by which time we expect the credit worthiness of TBL to increase to adequate levels, there can be no assurance that TBL will not have to pay higher interest rates in the future, which could reduce its income.
 
We may not be able to obtain necessary raw materials at competitive prices.
 
Construction contracts are primarily dependent on adequate and timely supply of raw materials, such as cement, steel and aggregates, at competitive prices. As competition from larger and well-established players increases for procuring raw materials, we could face an increase in the price of raw materials that negatively impacts our profitability.
 
Our business is dependent on contracts awarded by the Government and its agencies.
 
The businesses of Sricon and TBL are dependent on the implementation of the central and state budget allocations to the infrastructure sector. Sricon and TBL derive the bulk of their revenue from contracts awarded by the central and state governments of India and their agencies. If there are delays in the payment of invoices by the government, our working capital requirements could increase. The Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) industry is a competitive one, and Sricon and TBL may be outbid for government contracts. In addition, to the extent that Sricon and TBL fail to perform in accordance with the criteria of existing contracts, the governments may be more inclined to seek alternative sources of BOT services.
 
We may face penalties for time overruns.
 
Sricon and TBL execute construction contracts primarily in the roads and infrastructure development sectors. Sricon and TBL typically enter into high value contracts for these activities, which provide for penalties if contracts are not executed in a timely manner. If Sricon and TBL are unable to meet the performance criteria as prescribed by the respective contracts and if penalties are levied, the financial performance of these companies could be adversely affected.
 
Our business is dependent on continuing relationships with clients and strategic partners.
 
Our business is dependent on developing and maintaining strategic alliances with contractors that undertake turnkey contracts for infrastructure development projects as well as government organizations.
 
The business and our results could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain a continuing relationship and pre-qualified status with key clients and strategic partners.
 
 
12

 
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 key employees in IGC, Sricon, and TBL as well as all our subsidiaries. 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 have played a significant role in developing and executing the overall business plan, maintaining client relationships, proprietary processes and technology. While none 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: For example, during the monsoon season, the heavy rains slow down road building and during the summer months the winds are not strong enough to power the wind turbines. This results in uneven revenue and operating results over the year.
 
·  
Commencement, completion and termination of contracts during any particular quarter.
 
·  
Additions and departures of key personnel.
 
·  
Claims filed against the contractee for delays and changes in scope, among others, can sometimes enter arbitration and take time to settle. This could result in a tightening of working capital.
 
·  
Strategic decisions made by us and our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments and changes in business strategy.
 
The revenue recognition policy records contract revenue for those stages of a project that we complete, after we receive certification from the client that such stage has been successfully completed. Since revenue is not recognized until we receive a certification from our clients, revenue recognition can be uneven.
 
Our subsidiaries may become involved in litigation in the future.
 
Our subsidiaries are fairly large companies and may have to initiate actions in the Indian Courts to enforce their rights and may also be drawn into legal litigation. The expenses of litigation and any judgments against us could have a material adverse effect on us.
 
We face intense competition in the Indian infrastructure industry.
 
The Indian real estate and infrastructure industries are increasingly attracting foreign capital. We currently have competition from international as well as domestic companies that operate at the national level. Smaller localized contractors / companies are also competing in their respective regions. If we are unable to offer competitive prices and obtain contracts, there could be a significant reduction in our revenue.
 
 
13

 
Our operations are sensitive to weather conditions.
 
Our business activities in India could be materially and adversely affected by severe weather conditions. Severe weather conditions may require Sricon and TBL to evacuate personnel or curtail services and may result in damage to a portion of Sricon and TBL’s fleet of equipment or to our facilities, resulting in the suspension of operations, and may further prevent Sricon and TBL from delivering materials to project sites in accordance with contract schedules or generally reduce our productivity. Difficult working conditions and extremely high temperatures also adversely affect the operations of Sricon and TBL during summer months and during monsoon season, which restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources.
 
The revenue recorded in the first half of our fiscal year between April and September is traditionally lower than revenue recorded during the second half of our fiscal year due to the weather conditions. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, Sricon and TBL may continue to incur operating expenses, reducing profitability.
 
Compliance with Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could adversely impact our competitive position. Failure to comply could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States public companies from engaging in bribery of or other prohibited payments to foreign officials to obtain or retain business. While we will take precautions to educate the employees of our subsidiaries of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, there can be no assurance that we or the employees or agents of our subsidiaries will not engage in such conduct, for which we might be held responsible. We could suffer penalties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may issue shares of our capital stock, including through convertible debt securities, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership.     
 
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. There are currently approximately 40,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of our outstanding warrants and the purchase option granted to Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. and shares authorized for issuance under our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. We have recently issued 200,000 shares of our common stock in connection with a private placement of debt securities and may engage in similar private placements in the future.  The issuance of additional shares of our common stock including upon conversion of any debt securities:
     
 
• 
may significantly reduce the equity interest of our existing shareholders; and
     
 
• 
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock, warrants or units.
     
We may issue notes or other debt securities,  which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition.

We recently sold $2,000,000 in a private placement of debt securities and may engage in similar private placements in the future. The incurrence of this debt:
     
 
• 
may lead to default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues  are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;
     
 
• 
may cause an acceleration of our obligations to repay the debt even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach the covenants contained in the terms of the debt documents;
     
 
• 
may create an obligation to immediately repay all principal and accrued interest, if any, upon demand to the extent any debt securities are payable on demand; and
     
 
• 
may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, to the extent any debt securities contain covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding, or to the extent our existing leverage discourages other potential investors.
 
 
14

 
Additional capital maybe costly or difficult to obtain.
 
Additional capital, whether through the offering of equity or debt securities,may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, especially in light of the recent downturn in the economy and dislocations in the credit and capital markets. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.  We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
 
If we are unable to repay the loans from Sricon and TBL when due, they may have difficulty competing for future large contracts.
 
We believe that Sricon and TBL will ultimately require the amounts they loaned to us in order to expand their operations and the scope of contracts on which they can bid. If we are unable to repay the loans made to us by Sricon and TBL on time, Sricon and TBL may be required to find alternative sources of funding for such expansion, and the costs and timing of obtaining such funding may make it more difficult for these companies to expand the scope of contracts for which they can compete.  To the extent Sricon or TBL obtain additional funding, it may result in the issuance by Sricon or TBL of additional  shares of capital stock, resulting in the dilution of our interest in Sricon and TBL.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
 
If the benefits of our acquisition of TBL and Sricon do not meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of our common stock may decline.
 
     The market price of our common stock may decline if:
 
·  
we do not achieve the perceived benefits of our acquisition of TBL and Sricon as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or
 
·  
the effect of the Acquisition on our financial statements is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.
 
Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of a decreasing stock price.
 
Although we are required to use our best efforts to have an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares underlying the public warrants at the time that our warrant holders exercise their public warrants, we cannot guarantee that a registration statement will be effective, in which case our warrant holders may not be able to exercise our public warrants and such warrants may expire worthless.
 
Holders of our public warrants will be able to exercise the warrants only if a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is then effective. Although we have undertaken in the warrant agreement, and therefore have a contractual obligation, to use our best efforts to maintain a current registration statement covering the shares underlying the public warrants following completion of this offering, to the extent required by federal securities laws, and we intend to comply with such undertaking, with this registration statement satisfying that requirement, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. In no event shall we be liable for, or any registered holder of any warrant be entitled to receive, (a) physical settlement in securities unless the conditions and requirements set forth in the warrant agreement have been satisfied or (b) any net-cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in securities. The value of the public warrants may be greatly reduced if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not kept current. Such warrants may expire worthless.
 
Because the warrants sold in the private placements were originally issued pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under the federal securities laws, the holders of the warrants sold in the private placement will be able to exercise their warrants even if, at the time of exercise, a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not current. As a result, the holders of the warrants purchased in the private placements will not have any restrictions with respect to the exercise of their warrants. As described above, the holders of the public warrants will not be able to exercise them unless we have a current registration statement covering the shares issuable upon their exercise.
 
If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our stock could decline if one or more equity analysts downgrade our stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends, which may limit the return on your investment in us.
 
We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

There is no assurance that the holders of the warrants will elect to exercise any or all of the warrants.
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock or warrants by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the issuance and registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, American Stock Exchange fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
 
 
DIVIDEND POLICY

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 
Pursuant to the terms of the warrants issued in our initial public offering, the shares of common stock will be distributed to those warrant holders who surrender the certificates representing the warrants and provide payment of the exercise price through their brokers to our warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Pursuant to the terms of the unit purchase option, the units will be distributed to the option holder delivering a duly executed and completed exercise form to us together with payment for the exercise price.

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock or warrants on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares or warrants:
 
 
• 
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
 
• 
Block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
 
• 
Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
 
• 
An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
 
• 
Privately negotiated transactions;
     
 
• 
Short sales;
     
 
• 
Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares or warrants at a stipulated price per share or warrant;
     
 
• 
A combination of any such methods of sale; and
     
 
• 
Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares or warrants under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares or warrants, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
 
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them or warrants and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock or warrants from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock or warrants in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock or warrants from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock or warrants purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
 
 
19

 
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock or warrants. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
The Selling Stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock or warrants , nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock or warrants by any Selling Stockholder. If we are notified by any Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock or warrants, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the Selling Stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock or warrants, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the Selling Stockholders.

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 prospectus. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this prospectus 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 document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. 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 herein.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our significant accounting policies are presented within the financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus.  We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. 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.
 
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.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The majority of the revenue recognized for three month period ended June 30, 2008 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as accordingly:

Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
 
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.
 
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. 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
 
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
 
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
 
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.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
As of June 30, 2008, we had not granted any stock options under our Employee Stock Plan.
 
Goodwill

We account for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually and written down and charged to operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles exceeds its fair value. We have elected to perform our annual impairment test in November of each calendar year. An interim goodwill impairment test would be performed if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For purposes of performing the goodwill impairment test, we concluded there is one reporting unit. During November 2007, we completed the required annual test, which indicated there was no impairment.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In connection with preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves the assessment of our net operating loss carry forwards and credits, as well as estimating the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as reserves and accrued  liabilities, for tax and accounting purposes. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Based on historical results, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the value of our deferred tax assets and therefore have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

Consolidated Results of Operations (IGC)
 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
 
The following results of operations discussion compares our consolidated company results for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to the Combined Predecessor Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  We believe this is a better measure of performance than comparing the consolidated company results to pre-acquisition results because there were no significant operating results before acquiring Sricon and TBL companies.
  
Revenue - Total  revenues increased  441% to $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $3,311,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenue increased due to the increase in the number of  new and active contracts in our contract backlog.

Operating Income (loss) - In the three month period ending June 30, 2008, operating margin is 3.7 million, compared to a loss of $59 thousand for the combined predecessor companies for the three month period ending June 30, 2007.  Our operating margin increased due to the increase in the number of  new and active contracts in our contract backlog.

Total Costs of Revenues and operating expenses - Our total cost of revenues and operating expenses principally consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, startup costs, and general and administrative expense. In the three month period ending June 30, 2008, total cost of revenue and operating expenses increased by $11 million or 325%, compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007.
 
Costs of Revenues - Costs of revenues consists primarily of compensation and related fringe benefits for project-related personnel, department management and all other dedicated project related costs and indirect costs. Cost of Revenue increased by $10.4 million or 379%, compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007.  The increase was due to higher contract revenue during the year.

Selling, General and Administrative - Consist primarily of employee-related expenses, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We expect that in the future, selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as we add personnel and incur additional professional fees and insurance costs related to being a publicly held company. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million or 121%, compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007, due to higher scale of operations resulting from acquisitions.  

Net Interest Income (Expense) – Net interest (expense) increased by  $0.2 million or 110% compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007.  The increase was due to higher utilization of debt and an increase in interest rates.

Net Income (loss) – Net income increased 246% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared a loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our net income increased due to the increase in the number of new and active contracts in our contract backlog.

The following discussion relates to IGC for the years ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 and for the period from April 29, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2006:
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
This liquidity and capital resources discussion compares the consolidated company results for three months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  The Predecessor cash flow statements for the three month ended period June 30, 2007 are not available.
 
Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations is our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the first three months of 2008, cash used for operating activities was $5.5 million compared to cash used for operating activities of $0.4 million during the first three months of 2007. The uses of cash in the first three months of 2008 relates primarily to the payment of general operating expenses of our subsidiary companies.
 
During the first three months of 2008, investing activities from continuing operations used $ 5.2 million of cash as compared to $27 thousand used during the comparable period in 2007. In the first quarter of 2008, we paid $1.6 million for equipment purchases and $3.5 million for short term investments.
 
Financing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of transactions related to our debt and equity structure. In the first three months of 2008 there was financing cash provided of approximately $4.2 million, compared to cash used of approximately $325 thousand for the first three months of 2007.  The cash provided in 2008 was primarily due to use of bank credit lines.  The cash used in 2007 was primarily due to repayment of long-term notes to stockholders.
 
Our future liquidity needs will depend on, among other factors, stability of construction costs, interest rates, and a continued increase in infrastructure contracts in India. We believe that our current cash balances and anticipated operating cash flow, will be sufficient to fund our normal operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may seek to secure additional capital to fund further growth of our business in the near term.

Capital Commitments and Guarantees
 
1) Capital commitments
 
The estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account not provided for as on June 30, 2008 are USD zero.
 
2) Guarantees
 
The Company had outstanding financial / performance bank guarantees of approximately USD 4 million as of June 30, 2008.
 
     
a)
     
The Sricon  was awarded a contract from National Highway Authority of India (‘NHAI’) in 2004-05, for restoring the Jaipur – Gurgaon National Highway 8. The total contract value was USD 5.10 million to be completed in 9 months. The entire stretch of the site was handed over on piecemeal basis without any defined schedule in contravention with contractual provisions and approved construction program and methodology. This has resulted in additional costs due to additional deployment of resources for prolonged period. Thus, Sricon invoked the escalation clause of the contract and filed a claim of USD 8.16 million. The dispute has been referred to arbitration. The Company has not recognized the claimed amounts on its books.
   
 
b)
 
Sricon was awarded a contract from National Highway Authority of India (‘NHAI’) in 2001-02 for construction of a four lane highway on the Namkkal bypass on National Highway 7, in the state of Tamilnadu. The total contract value was USD 4 million and the construction was to have been completed by November 30, 2002. The escalation and variation claim of USD 5.27 million is pending with NHAI. An arbitration process was initiated on July 3, 2007. The company has not recognized the claim amounts on its books.
       
 
c)
 
TBL is contingently liable to pay four-thousand dollars towards interest and penalty towards Provident Dues as per the orders of the competent authorities.

Discussion

April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008 Compared To FYE March 31, 2007 (FY 2007)

Revenues

Total revenue increased by 113% for the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008 ($22.61 million) over the prior fiscal year ($10.60 million). The company began several large contracts including  civil construction of cement plants. The company continues to maintain large construction contracts and is expected to resume after the monsoons end in September 2008.

Expenses

Sricon’s expenses primarily consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expense.   For the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008, total expenses increased by $9.77 million or 98%, as compared to FY 2007. Cost of revenue increased by  $7.88 million or 97%, as compared to FY 2007. The increase was due to higher construction costs associated with increased contract revenue during the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.27 million or 114%, as compared with FYE 2007 due to the same reasons.  Interest expense increased by nearly $.50 million or 86%, as compared with FYE 2007. The increase in interest expense was due to higher utilization of debt and an increase in interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and funding risk management policies are designed to ensure that we are able to access adequate financing. The principal sources of financing Sricon’s business are stockholders’ equity and bank lines of credit. As of March 7, 2008, Sricon’s net capital exceeded its net capital requirements.  Also, Sricon has entered into several credit agreements with various banks. 
 
 
28

 
Cash Flows

During the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008, Sricon utilized nearly $1 million in cash in operating activities. The net cash was primarily used to finance the increased receivables, non-current assets, advance from customers and other non-current liabilities. Also, Sricon  invested $.23 million in the purchase of plants, machinery, and other equipment. We and we purchased non-current investments for $ .69 million, resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $ .76 million. These investments were mainly financed from capital leases, reinvestment of profits and share subscription money received from IGC. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was $.21 million.

Sricon used $.91 million in operating activities during 2006-07. The net cash was primarily used to finance increased receivables, BOT Projects under Progress and decreased trade payables. Sricon also invested in the purchase of plant, machinery, and other equipment for $.73 million resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $.18 million in 2006-07. These investments were primarily financed by bank overdrafts, term loans, reinvestment of profits, and customer and related party balances. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $.45 million during the 2006-07 fiscal year.  Sricon is in talks with several banks in India to secure revolving lines of debt to meet its working capital requirements and fund rapid growth.

In FYE 2007, total expenses decreased by $.47 million or 5%, compared to FYE 2006. Cost of Revenue decreased by $.50 million or 6%, compared to FYE 2006.  The decrease was due to lower contract revenue during the year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by  $.13 million or 10%, compared to FYE 2006, due to lower scale of operations during the year.  Interest expense increased by  $.14 million or 37% compared to FYE 2006.  The increase was due to higher utilization of debt and an increase in interest rates.

Cash Flows

Sricon used  $.91 million in operating activities during FY 2007.  Net cash was used to finance increased receivables, BOT Projects under progress and decreased trade payables. Sricon also invested $.73 million in the purchase of plant, machinery, and other equipment, resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $.18 million in FY 07.  These investments were primarily financed by  bank overdrafts, term loans, reinvestment of profits and customer and related party balances. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $.45 million during  FY 07.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Options and warrants issued by the Company are equity-linked derivatives and accordingly represent off-balance sheet arrangements. The options and warrants meet the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FAS 133, and are accordingly, not accounted for as derivatives for purposes of FAS 133, but instead are accounted for as equity.

Management Discussion and Analysis (TBL)
 
Effects of the Acquisition on TBL

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires TBL management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. TBL has based its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that it finds reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from such estimates under different conditions and could have a material impact on the financial statements, and it is possible that such changes could occur in the near term.

Significant estimates and assumptions are used when accounting for certain items, such as but not limited to, revenue recognition, the useful lives and the evaluation of impairment of property and equipment, the income tax, the contingencies and the provision for impairment of receivables and advances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Developments and their impact on TBL

In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (FAS 154). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-term, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The Company adopted FAS 154 for accounting changes and corrections of errors made after the adoption date. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 154 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. The provisions of SAB 108 are required to be applied by registrants in their annual financial statements covering fiscal years ending on or before November 15, 2007. The adoption of the provisions of SAB 108 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The provisions of FIN 48 will be applied beginning in the first quarter of 2008 (i.e. from April 1, 2008), with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this Interpretation on its financial statements.

Discussion of Operations at TBL

April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008 Compared To FYE March 31, 2007 (FY 2007)

Revenues

Total revenue increased by 23% April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008 ($5.32 million) over the prior FYE 2007 ($4.32 million).

Expenses

TBL’s expenses primarily consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expense.   For the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008, total expenses increased by $1.41 million or 32%, as compared to FY 2007.   Cost of revenue increased by $2.06 million or 77%, as compared to FY 2007. The increase was due to higher contract revenue during the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $.21 million or 46%, as compared with FYE 2007, due to primarily an cost cutting initiatives by management. Interest expense decreased by $.67 million or 59%, as compared with FYE 2007. The decrease was due to lower utilization of debt and repayment of outstanding debts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and funding risk management policies are designed to ensure that we are able to access adequate financing. The principal sources of financing TBL’s business are stockholders’ equity and bank lines of credit.  As of March 7, 2008, TBL’s net capital exceeded its net capital requirements.

Cash Flows

During the period April 1, 2007 to March 7, 2008, TBL generated $2.78 million in cash in operating activities. The net cash was primarily generated from income earned for the period, prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current liabilities.   TBL also generated cash from the release of restricted cash for  $.21 million, resulting in net cash generated from investing activities of $.20 million. The company used cash primarily to repay bank overdrafts, term loans and other debts for  $6.58 million. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $.47 million.
 
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006

Total revenues were $4.32 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 89% over the corresponding 12-month period in 2006.

Other Income
 
Other income in FYE 2007 and FYE 2006 was $532 thousand and $516 thousand, respectively.  Other income typically includes the sale and hauling of scrap and other waste from construction sites as well as income from rental of idle equipment.

Expenses

TBL’s expenses principally consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expense. In the year ended March 31, 2007, total expenses decreased by  $.75 million or 14%, over the 2005-06 period. Cost of Revenue decreased by $.09 million or 3%, over 2005-06. The decrease was due to higher contract revenue during the year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $.16 million or 26%, over 2005-06, due to high level cost cutting measures adopted by management during the year. Interest expense decreased by $.38 million or 25%, over 2005-06. The decrease was due to repayment of debts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

TBL’s senior management establishes the overall liquidity and capital policies of the company. The company’s liquidity and funding risk management policies are designed to ensure that TBL is able to access adequate financing to service its financial obligations when they are due. The principal sources of financing TBL’s business are shareholder’s equity and overdraft facilities from banks. TBL has entered into credit agreements with various banks.

 
31

 
Cash Flows

TBL generated  $4.95 million in operating activities during 2006-07. The net cash was primarily generated from decreased inventory and increased trade payables. TBL paid debts worth $4.2 million in 2006-07. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was $1.08 million during the 2006-07 fiscal years.

TBL believes that its cash profits, existing cash balances and its credit agreements will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months. In the longer term, the company y believes future cash requirements will continue to be met by its cash from operations, credit arrangements and future debt or equity financings as required.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Options and warrants issued by the Company are equity-linked derivatives and accordingly represent off balance sheet arrangements. The options and warrants meet the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FAS 133 and are  not accounted for as derivatives for purposes of FAS 133, but instead are accounted for as equity.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risks

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

The Company’s customers are the Indian government, state government, private companies and Indian government owned companies.   Therefore, our business requires that we continue to maintain a pre-qualified status with our clients so  we are not disqualified from bidding on future work.  The loss of a significant client, like the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), may have an adverse effect on Company.  Disqualification can occur if, for example, we run out of capital to finish contracts that we have undertaken.  We are negotiating with several banks in India for working capital lines of up to $25 million in order to help mitigate this risk.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining these lines.

Commodity Prices and Vendor Risk

The Company is affected by the availability, cost and quality of raw materials including cement, asphalt, steel, rock aggregate and fuel.  For example, the cost of rock aggregate has doubled in the past 24 months.  The prices and supply of raw materials and fuel depend on factors beyond the control of the Company, including general economic conditions, competition, production levels, transportation costs and import duties.  The Company typically builds contingencies into the contracts, including indexing key commodity prices into escalation clauses.  However, drastic changes in the global markets for raw material and fuel could affect our vendors, which may create disruptions in delivery schedules that could affect our ability to execute contracts in a timely manner.  We are taking steps to mitigate some of this risk by attempting to control the supply of raw materials.  For example, the Company operates five rock quarries and is able to partly sustain its needs for rock aggregate through its mines.  We do not currently hedge commodity prices on capital markets. However, we are analyzing this option as a possible risk mitigation strategy.

Labor Risk

The building boom in India and the Middle East (India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh exported labor) is creating pressure on the availability of skilled labor like welders, equipment operators, etc.  We mitigate the financial impact by factoring wage increases into our contract bids and projections.  However, the building boom is unpredictable and a severe shortage of skilled labor may impact our ability to complete projects in a timely manner.

Compliance, Legal and Operational Risks

We operate under regulatory and legal obligations imposed by the Indian governments and U.S. securities regulators.  Those obligations relate, among other things, to the company’s financial reporting, trading activities, capital requirements and the supervision of its employees.   For example, we file our financial statements in three countries under three different Generally Accepted Accounting Standards, (GAAP).  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 Sricon’s activities and financial performance. We are mitigating this risk by hiring local consultants and staff who can manage the compliance in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.  However, the cost of compliance in various jurisdictions could have an impact on our future earnings.

Interest Rate Risk
 
The infrastructure development industry is one in which leverage plays a large role. A typical contract requires that we furnish an earnest money deposit and a performance guaranty.  Furthermore, most contracts demand that we reserve between 7 and 11 percent of contract value in the form of bank guaranties and/or deposits.  Finally, as interest rates rise, our cost of capital increases thus impacting our margins.
 
Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Our Indian subsidiaries conduct all business in Indian Rupees with the exception of foreign equipment that is purchased from the U.S. or Europe.  Exchange rates have a insignificant impact on our financial results.  However, as we convert from Indian Rupees to USD and subsequently report in U.S. dollars, we may see an impact on translated revenue and earnings.
 
 
Accounting Developments and their impact

In September 2006, FASB issued FAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans” (FAS 158). This Statement requires companies to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position. The Company has applied FAS 158, and there is no impact on the financial statements.

In May 2005, FASB issued FAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (FAS 154). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principal. The Company adopted FAS 154 for accounting changes and corrections of errors made after the adoption date. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 154 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (‘SAB 108’). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. The provisions of SAB 108 are required to be applied by registrants in their annual financial statements covering fiscal years ending on or before November 15, 2007. The adoption of the provisions of SAB 108 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this Interpretation on its financial statements.
 
BUSINESS
 
Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC) 
                                                                                                                                
IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed 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 or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, we completed an initial public offering.  On February 19, 2007, we incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.  On March 7, 2008, we consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% of the equity of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL). The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M.

Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL acquired by IGC were purchased directly from the companies. IGC purchased a portion of the shares from the existing owners of the companies.  The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL.

The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Under this method of accounting, for accounting and financial purposes, IGC-M, Limited was treated as the acquiring entity and Sricon and TBL as the acquired entities.  The financial statements provided here and going forward are the consolidated statements of IGC, which include IGC-M, Sricon, TBL and their subsidiaries.  However, historical description of our business for periods and dates prior to March 7, 2008 include information on Sricon and TBL.
 
Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) was incorporated as a private limited company on March 3, 1997 in Nagpur, India.  Sricon is an engineering and construction company that is engaged in three business areas: 1) civil construction of highways and other heavy construction, 2) mining and quarrying and 3) the construction and maintenance of high temperature cement and steel plants.  Sricon has a pan-India focus and is accredited with ISO 9001:2000 certification and its present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.  Sricon employs approximately 250 skilled employees and over 800 unskilled labor contractors.  It currently has the capacity and prior experience to bid on contracts that are priced at a maximum of about $116 million. Sricon recently won, as disclosed in a press release, a contract to build 150 miles of rural roads including one major and 33 minor bridges.

Until the formation of Sricon, the infrastructure construction work was carried out in Vijay Engineering Enterprises (partnership concern) (“VEE”).  Sricon was incorporated with an objective to execute large scale infrastructure projects in sectors such as Highways, Water Management System, Power and Cement Plants, etc. In an effort to consolidate all infrastructure activities under one company to garner better synergy, business profile, as well as improve cost management, VEE was merged with Sricon effective March 31, 2004.
 
Techni Bharathi Limited (“TBL”) was incorporated as a public (but not listed on the stock market) limited company on June 19, 1982 in Cochin, India.  TBL is an engineering and construction company engaged in the execution of civil construction and structural engineering projects.  TBL has a focus in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam and Tamil Nadu. Its present and past clients include various Indian government organizations. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company”, “IGC”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to India Globalization Capital, Inc, together with its wholly owned subsidiary IGC-M, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Sricon and TBL).
 
Consolidated Company Overview

Through our subsidiaries, we have over $382 million of backlog of orders in the three core areas of business.  We expect to execute these contracts over the next 30 months.   The increases in labor and commodity prices poses a margin risk, which we are diligently mitigating through the following steps: 1) ensuring that contracts have an escalation clause, which allows us to pass on increases in commodity prices to the contracting agency, 2) shore up reserves of raw materials. For, for example, we use rock aggregate in all our construction and having an adequate supply of rock aggregate mitigates the risk of unforeseen prices increases, 3) adapting best practices to recruit and retain skilled and unskilled labor.
 
The Indian government has articulated plans to modernize the Indian Infrastructure.  It expects to spend over $475 billion in this effort. We believe that these initiatives will continue to be favorable to our business model.  Our model is quite simple: we bid on construction, mining and engineering contracts; the contracts we win increase our backlog of orders, which translates into greater revenues and earnings.  There is seasonality in our business as outdoor construction activity slows down during the Indian monsoons.  The rains typically last intermittently from June through September.

Industry Overview
 
The Indian economy reached a significant milestone when rapidly growing GDP surpassed the $1 Trillion mark in fiscal 2007.  According to the World Bank, only nine economies at the close of 2005 generated more than $1 Trillion in GDP.  In general, India’s growth rates have held steady for the past few years ranging from 6.2% to 8.5% since 2003 and peaked at 9.2% last fiscal year ending March 31, 2007.  The Indian stock markets experienced significant growth with the SENSEX peaking at 21, 000 (January 8, 2008) during fiscal year March 31, 2008. However, due to speculative inflationary expectations, the markets have retreated to early 2007 levels.

India’s GDP growth for fiscal year end March 31, 2008 was 9%, a slight drop compared to 9.2% in the previous 12-month period, but the third year in a row where it has finished at 9% or above.  The factors contributing to maintaining this high growth included stellar performances in the agriculture and service industries, favorable demographic dynamics (India has a large youth population that exceeds 550 Million), the savings rate and spending habits of the Indian middle class.  Other factors are attributed to changing investment patterns, increasing consumerism, healthy business confidence, inflows of foreign investment (India ranks #2 behind China in the A.T. Kearney “FDI Confidence Index” for 2007) and improvements in the Indian banking system.  Meanwhile, several economic think tanks are forecasting a slight downward trend in India’s GDP growth rate during the current fiscal year to approximately 8.5%, which still ranks India among the top 9 global performers. Planning Commission Deputy Chairman was more optimistic addressing reporters in New Delhi on June 24, 2008 stating that India can maintain a rate of 9% growth despite challenges such as rising oil prices.

To sustain India’s fast growing economy, the share of infrastructure investment in India is expected to increase  to 9 per cent of GDP, which is an increase from 5 per cent in 2006-07.  This forecast is based on The Indian Planning Commission’s annual publication that for the Eleventh Plan period (2007-12), a large investment of approximately $494 Billion would be required for Infrastructure build and modernization.  This industry is the largest employer in the country – the construction industry alone employs more than 30 million people.  According to the Business Monitor International (BMI), by 2012, the construction industry’s contribution to India’s GDP is forecasted to be 16.98%.  The sector is riding on a high growth wave powered by the large expenditures committed to infrastructure programs – evidenced all over the country in the form of new highways, dams, power plants and pipelines. The sectors contributing to the high growth rates are power, transport, petroleum and urban infrastructure.
  
This ambitious infrastructure development mandate by the Indian Government will require huge funding.  The Government of India has already raised funds from multi-lateral agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.   The India Infrastructure Company was set up to back projects by guaranteeing up to  $2 Billion annually.  In addition, the Indian Government has identified public-private partnerships (PPP) as the cornerstone of its infrastructure development policy.  The government is also proactively seeking additional FDI and approval is not required for up to 100% of FDI in most infrastructure areas.  According to Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, addressing the Finance Ministers of ASEAN countries, at the Indo ASEAN Summit at New Delhi, in August 2007, India needs  $150 billion at the rate of $15 billion per annum for the next 10 years.  Speaking to the media in November of 2007, Indian commerce minister Kamal Nath added:  "Our FDI policy is perhaps one of the most liberal in the world, India remains a favorite FDI destination despite what is going on in the stock market."

Previously, Minister Nath said the government had fixed an ambitious $30 billion FDI target for the country's 2007-08 financial year (April to March)  following total inflows in 2006-07 of $19.5 billion (or $16B excluding reinvested earnings) compared with $7.7 billion in 2005-06.  Actual FDI for 2007-08 surged past $25 Billion.  With the exception of Japan, the focus and expected growth of infrastructure in India has made it a leading FDI destination within Asia in terms of private equity.  Eight of the Lipper's world's top ten infrastructure funds in 2007 were Indian equity funds.  However, in comparison , China received $67 billion in FDI, while  India received only  $16B.  More than 50% of India’s FDI’s will be utilized for infrastructure, telecom, and power among others.

The Government of India is also permitting External Commercial Borrowings (ECB’s) as a source of financing Indian Companies looking to expand existing capacity as well as incubation for new startups.   ECB’s  include commercial bank loans, buyers' credit, suppliers' credit, securitized instruments such as Floating Rate Notes and Fixed Rate Bonds, credit from official export credit agencies, and commercial borrowings from private sector Multilateral Financial Institutions such as International Finance Corporation (Washington), ADB, AFIC, CDC, etc.  National credit policies seek to keep an annual cap or ceiling on access to ECB, consistent with prudent debt management.   Also, these policies seek to encourage greater emphasis on infrastructure projects  and core sectors such as power, oil exploration, telecom, railways, roads & bridges, , ports, industrial parks, urban infrastructure, and  fosters exporting. exporting..   Applicants will be free to raise ECB from any internationally recognized source such as banks, export credit agencies, suppliers of equipment, foreign collaborators, foreign equity-holders, and international capital markets.

ECB can be accessed in two methods, namely,  the Automatic Route and the Approval Route. The Automatic Route is primarily for investment  in Indian infrastructure, and will not require Reserve Bank of India (RBI)/Government approval. The maximum amount of ECB’s under the Automatic Route raised by an eligible borrower is limited to $500 million during any financial year. The following are additional requirements under the Automatic route:

a) ECB up to  $20 million or equivalent with minimum average maturity of 3 years.
b) ECB above  $20 million and up to $500 million or equivalent with minimum average maturity of 5 years.

Some of the areas where ECB’s are utilized is the National Highway Development Project and the National Maritime Development Program.  In addition, the following represent some of the major infrastructure projects planned for the next five years:
 
1.  
Constructing dedicated freight corridors between Mumbai-Delhi and Ludhiana-Kolkata.
 
2.  
Capacity addition of 485 million MT in Major Ports, 345 million MT in Minor Ports.
 
3.  
Modernization and redevelopment of 21 railway stations.
 
4.  
Developing 16 million hectares through major, medium and minor irrigation works.
 
5.  
Modernization and redevelopment of 4 metro and 35 non-metro airports.
 
6.  
Expansion to six-lanes 6,500 km (4,038 Miles) of Golden Quadrilateral and selected National Highways.
 
7.  
Constructing 228,000 miles of new rural roads, while renewing and upgrading the existing 230,000 miles covering 78,304 rural habitations.

On March 7, 2008, we bought and redeemed a total of 6,159,346 shares.  As a result of the redemption and the subsequent issuance of 210,000 shares of common stock in private placements, on September 30, 2008, we had 8,780,107 shares outstanding (including shares sold to our founders in a private placement prior to the public offering) and 24,874,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of redeemable warrants and underwriters’ purchase option.
 
Core Business Areas
 
Our core business areas include the following:

Highway and heavy construction:
 
The Indian government has articulated a plan to build and modernize Indian infrastructure.  The government’s plan, which calls for spending over $475 billion over the next five years, includes the construction of rural roads, major highways and townships among other infrastructure.  We have approximately  $243 million worth of contracts in our order book including a $103 million contract to build 150 miles of rural roads including 33 bridges in the state of Madhya Pradesh, and contracts for the building of highways in Assam, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh totaling around $108 million.  In addition, we have smaller construction contracts amounting for  $32 million, including a construction contract in a township in Nagpur.

Mining and Quarrying
 
As Indian infrastructure modernizes, the demand for raw materials like stone aggregate, coal, ore and similar resources is projected to increase. In 2006, according to the Freedonia Group, India was the fourth largest stone aggregate market in the world with demand of up to 1.1 billion metric tons.  Sricon has five site licenses with two installed crushers and produces approximately 600,000 metric tons of aggregate annually.  The aggregate reserves in Sricon’s five quarries have a projected value of around $50 million.  India is the third largest producer of coal and fourth largest producer of ore.  Ten percent of the world’s coal reserves are in India.  We have a multiyear contract valued around $478 million for the removal of overburden  from open pit coal mines.  Overburden is the layers and rock covering the coal seam,  These types of excavation projects are necessary before mining can began.

Construction and maintenance of high temperature plants
 
Sricon has an expertise in the civil engineering, construction and maintenance of high temperature plants.   For example, we construct cement and steel plants.  This requires specialized skills to build and maintain the high temperature chimneys and kilns.  We have a multiyear contract valued around $60 million for civil engineering and maintenance of high temperature cement plants.

Customers
 
Over the past 10 years, Sricon has qualified in all states in India and has worked in several, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh.  The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) awards interstate highway contracts on a national level, while intra-state contracts are awarded by state agencies. The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) awards contacts for  civil work associated with power plants. The National Coal Limited (NCL) awards large mining contracts. Our customers include, or have included, NHAI, NTPC, and various state public works departments.  Sricon is registered across India and is qualified to bid on contracts anywhere in India.

Contract bidding process  
 
In order to create transparency, the Indian government has centralized the contract awarding process  for  building  inter-state roads.  The new process is as follows: At the “federal” level, as an example, NHAI publishes a Statement of Work for an interstate highway construction project.  The Statement of Work has a detailed description of the work to be performed as well as the completion time frame. The bidder prepares two proposals in response to the Statement of Work. The first proposal demonstrates technical capabilities, prior work experience, specialized machinery, and manpower required, and other criteria required to complete the project. The second proposal includes a financial bid.  NHAI evaluates the technical bids and short lists technically qualified companies. Next, the short list of technically qualified companies are  invited to place a detailed financial bid and show adequate financial strength in terms of  revenue, net worth, credit lines,  and balance sheets. Typically, the lowest bid wins the contract. Also, contract bidders must demonstrate an adequate level of capital reserves such as the following:  1) An earnest money deposit  between 2% to 10% of  project costs, 2) performance guarantee of between 5% and 10%, 3) adequate working capital and 4) additional capital for plant and machinery.   Bidding qualifications for  larger NHAI projects are set by NHAI which are imposed on each contractor.  As the contractor executes larger highway projects, the ceiling is increased by NHAI.   For example, Sricon’s ceiling on highway construction projects is around $116 million for each contract.

Our Growth Strategy and Business Model
 
Our business model is simple.  We bid on construction, mining and or maintenance contracts.   Successful bids increase our backlog of orders, which favorably impacts our revenues and margins.   The contracting process typically takes approximately  six months. Over the years, we have been successful in winning  one out of every seven bids on average.  We currently have three bid teams.   Historically, we  bid on multi-year contracts up to $70 million, but more recently, we began bidding on contracts up to $110 million.  Our growth strategy is six pronged: 1) increase the backlog of orders in the three areas of business to over $500 million, 2) recruit executives, business managers, and specifically three leads for the three lines of business, 3) recruit world class technical partners from the United States for each of our business lines, 4) eliminate or hedge risks associated with the volatility of commodity prices by, for example, ownership of aggregate quarries, mines, control over suppliers, or pass through contracts, 5) adapt a strategic and quantitative approach to building the business rather than one that is generic and short-sighted,  and  6) install systems better enabling corporate governance, USGAAP reporting and contract monitoring.
 
Indian companies have historically reported in Indian GAAP.  However we have increased the number of USGAAP accountants  and continue to strengthen  USGAAP reporting capability within our companies.  Currently, we have chief financial officers located in India at of Sricon and TBL.  In addition, we have a Chief Accounting Officer in the US.  Also, we have augmented the in-house teams with a Delhi based consulting firm that specializes in both USGAAP and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance.  Adapting best practices for reporting, governance, and monitoring is of immediate strategic value as it leads to a quantitative approach and, therefore, part of our growth strategy and business model.

Competition
 
We operate in an industry that is fairly competitive.  However, there is a large gap in the supply of well qualified and financed contractors and the demand for contractors.  Large domestic and international firms compete for jumbo contracts over $250 million in size, while locally based contractors vie for contracts less than $20 million. The recent capital markets crisis has made it more difficult for smaller companies to maturate into mid-sized companies, as their access to capital has been restrained. Therefore, we have  positioned ourselves in the $50 million to $125 million contract range , above locally based contractors and below the large firms, creating a distinct technical and financial advantage in this market niche.

Seasonality
 
The construction industry typically experiences recurring and natural seasonal patterns throughout India..  The North East Monsoons, historically, arrive on June 1, followed by the South West Monsoons, which usually lasts intermittently until September.  Historically, the second fiscal quarter ending in September is slower than other quarters because of these natural phenomena’s.  Some projects, such as engineering or maintenance of high temperature plants is less susceptible to seasonal changes. This reduced paced period historically been used to bid and win contracts. The contract bidding activity is typically very high during the monsoon season in preparation for work activity when the rains abate.

Employees and Consultants
 
As of March 31, 2008, we employed a work force of approximately 1,200 employees and contract workers worldwide.  Employees are typically skilled workers including executives, welders, drivers, and other specialized experts. Contract workers require less specialized skills.. We make diligent efforts to comply with all employment and labor regulations, including immigration laws in the many jurisdictions in which we operate. With a projected macro increase in construction activity, we anticipate a shortage of skilled labor.  In order to attract and retain skilled employees, we have implemented a performance based incentive program, offered career development programs,  improved working conditions, and provided United States work assignments, technology training, and other fringe benefits. While we have not done so yet, we are exploring adopting best practices for creating and providing vastly improved labor camps for our labor force.  We are hoping that our efforts will make our companies “employers of choice” and best of breed.  Our Chief Executive Officer is Ram Mukunda and our Chairman is Ranga Krishna.  Our Managing Director for Sricon is Ravindra Lal Srivastava and our Managing Director for TBL is Jortin Antony.   Our Treasurer and Principal Accounting officer is John Selvaraj.  Our Chief Financial Officer for Sricon is Abhay Wakhare and our Chief Financial Officer for TBL is Santhosh Kumar.  We also utilize the services of several consultants who provide USGAAP systems expertise and SOX expertise among others.

Environmental Regulations
 
India has very strict environmental, occupational, health and safety regulations.  In most instances, the contracting agency regulates and enforces all regulatory requirements.   We internally monitor and manage regulatory issues on a continuous basis, and we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Furthermore, we do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our business activities.

Facilities
 
We do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to our operation. Our headquarters are located at 4336 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland, 20814. The cost of this space is included in the $4,000 per month fee we pay IGN, LLC, an affiliate of our CEO Ram Mukunda, for office space and certain general and administrative services. Sricon’s headquarters are located at Pragati Layout, Rajeev Nagar, Nagpur 440025, India.  TBL’s headquarters are located at 34/136 A Edappally Bypass Road, Cochin 682024, Kerala, India.  In addition, we have offices in Mauritius, Delhi, Bombay and Bangalore, India.  We have temporary facilities at each of our work centers in the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Assam.  We believe that our office facilities are suitable and adequate for our business as it is presently conducted.

Legal Proceedings
 
We are not involved in nor a party to any material legal proceedings.

Information and timely reporting
 
Our operations are located in India where the accepted accounting standards is Indian GAAP, which in many cases, is  not congruent  to USGAAP.  Indian accounting standards are evolving towards adopting IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards).  Currently, we file financial statements in (1) India using IGAAP, (2) in Mauritius under IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), and (3) with the SEC, filing quarterly 10-Q’s and annual 10-k’s complying with USGAAP.   We annually conduct IGAAP and PCAOB (USGAAP) audits for each company.  We acknowledge that this process is at times cumbersome and places restraints on our existing staff. Therefore, we are in the process of improving our closing process and align our accounting operations more with U.S. reporting requirements. This will enable timely completion of audits and SEC filings. We will make available on our website, www.indiaglobalcap.com, our annual reports, quarterly reports, proxy statements as well as up to- date investor presentations. The registration statement and its exhibits, as well as our other reports filed with the SEC, can be inspected and copied at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information about the operation of the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov which contains the Form S-1 and other reports, proxy and information statements and information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

Additional investment activity - Wind farm purchase agreement
 
On April 29, 2007, we entered into a Contract Agreement dated April 29, 2007, as subsequently amended (“CWEL Purchase Agreement”), with Chiranjjeevi Wind Energy Limited, Arul Mariamman Textiles Limited, and Marudhavel Industries Limited (collectively, “CWEL”). Pursuant to the CWEL Purchase Agreement, we will acquire 100% of a 24-mega watt wind energy farm, consisting of 96 250-kilowatt wind turbines, located in Karnataka, India to be manufactured by CWEL (the “CWEL Acquisition”).  We are contemplating pursuing this opportunity, or a similar one if we are able to obtain adequate funding from the exercise of warrants, debt or other means.  There is no guarantee that we will ultimately consummate the CWEL Acquisition or a similar acquisition.
 
The following description summarizes the material provisions of the CWEL Purchase Agreement. The CWEL Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that IGC, on the one hand and CWEL on the other hand, have made to one another and are for the benefit of such parties only, and may not be relied upon by any other person. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the CWEL Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in disclosure schedules to the CWEL Purchase Agreement. Although IGC does not believe the disclosure schedules contain information the securities laws require IGC to publicly disclose, the disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the CWEL Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since the representations and warranties are subject in important part to the underlying disclosure schedules. The disclosure schedules contain nonpublic information. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change following the date of the CWEL Purchase Agreement, and subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in IGC’s public disclosures.

Security Interest
 
CWEL will grant IGC a security interest in all major goods and components purchased by CWEL in connection with the construction of the wind energy farm. CWEL shall further assign to IGC all its rights under any agreements between CWEL and vendors of goods and components purchased for the purpose of the construction of the wind energy farm.

Closing of the CWEL Acquisition
 
The CWEL Purchase Agreement contemplates that the closing of the CWEL Acquisition will take place on a date mutually agreed upon by IGC and CWEL, following the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, which date shall be no later than March 31, 2008 unless the parties agree to a later date.

Implementation Schedule
 
CWEL has contracted to supply, install and commission all wind turbines within 12 months from the effective date of the CWEL Purchase Agreement. The effective date is defined as the date on which the first payment, not counting the deposit, is made to CWEL. However, IGC shall extend the completion date by an additional 3 months provided that CWEL has made adequate progress and met certain milestones.

Power Purchase Agreement
 
As part of the turnkey nature of the contract, CWEL undertakes to put in place a power purchase agreement between IGC and the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM), unless IGC chooses to sell the power generated by the wind farm to a third party in accordance with prevailing Government of India rules.

Power Generation Guarantee
 
During the time that CWEL is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the wind energy farm, CWEL guarantees a performance of 550,000 units of power per wind energy turbine, within a 10% variation for changes in wind patterns. If the aggregate generation of the wind energy farm is below the amount guaranteed, CWEL undertakes to reimburse IGC the shortfall at the prevailing power purchase rate.

Liquidated Damages
 
If CWEL fails to complete the commissioning of all wind turbines in accordance with the Agreement, specifically within the mandated time frame, CWEL will pay liquidated damages equal to 5% of the total contract price up to a maximum of INR 57,000,000 (approximately $1,425,000 based on a conversion ratio of $.25 per INR).

Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
 
CWEL will undertake the operations and maintenance of the wind energy farm at a price of INR 10,800,000 (approximately $270,000 based on a conversion ratio of $0.25 per INR) per year. The term of the O&M contract is for seven years and is non-cancelable in the first three years of operations. The O&M pricing is subject to a 5% escalation per year commencing with the third year of operations.

Board of Directors

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 directors, consisting of Mr. Nathani and Mr. Shenoy, will expire at our fourth annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class B directors, consisting of Mr. Prins and Dr. Krishna, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class C director, consisting of Mr. Mukunda, will expire at the third 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 the acquisition. The American Stock Exchange, where we are listed, has rules mandating that the majority of the board be independent.  Our board of directors will consult with counsel to ensure that the boards of directors’ determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Amex listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a 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. Krishna, Shenoy and Nathani are independent directors.

Committee of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee currently composed of two independent directors who report to the Board of Directors.  Messrs. Krishna and Shenoy, each of whom is an independent director under the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards, serve as members of our Audit Committee.  In addition, we have determined that Messrs. Krishna and Shenoy are “audit committee financial experts” as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Audit Committee is responsible for meeting with our independent accountants regarding, among other issues, audits and adequacy of our accounting and control systems.  We intend to locate and appoint at least one additional independent director to our Audit Committee to increase the size of the Audit Committee to three members.

The Audit Committee will monitor our compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our initial pubic offering.  If any noncompliance issues are identified, then the Audit Committee is charged with the responsibility to take immediately all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise cause compliance with our initial pubic offering.  The Board currently does not have a nominating and corporate governance committee. However, the majority of the independent directors of the Board make all nominations.

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 American Stock Exchange listing standards.  The American Stock Exchange 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 American Stock Exchange 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. Krishna and Shenoy satisfy the American Stock Exchange’s definition of financial sophistication and qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation Committee

Our Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee composed of two independent directors, Messrs. Krishna and Shenoy and one non-independent director Richard Prins. The Board determined that Richard Prins is not a current officer or employee or an immediate family member of such person.  The Board deemed Mr. Prins to be non-independent because his firm Ferris Baker Watts received compensation for the IPO and bridge financing.  The Board, however, determined that the best interests of the Company and its shareholders require his membership on the compensation committee, as Mr. Prins brings a great deal of prior experience with memberships on public compensation committees.  The Board used the exception provided under Section 805 (b) of the Amex Company Guide in appointing Richard Prins to the Compensation Committee.  The compensation committee’s purpose will be to review and approve compensation paid to our officers and directors and to administer the Stock Plan.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

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 Amex Company Guide.   Any stockholder wishing to recommend an individual to be considered by our board of directors as a nominee for election as a director should send a signed letter of recommendation to the following address: India Globalization Capital, Inc. c/o Corporate Secretary, 4336 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20817. Recommendation letters must state the reasons for the recommendation and contain the full name and address of each proposed nominee as well as a brief biographical history setting forth past and present directorships, employments, occupations and civic activities. Any such recommendation should be accompanied by a written statement from the proposed nominee consenting to be named as a candidate and, if nominated and elected, consenting to serve as a director. We may also require a candidate to furnish additional information regarding his or her eligibility and qualifications. The board of directors does not intend to evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders differently than it evaluates candidates that are suggested by our board members, execution officers or other sources.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the American Stock Exchange.  We have filed the code of conduct and ethics as Exhibit 99.1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2006.

Board Meetings

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our board of directors held five meetings. Although we do not have any formal policy regarding director attendance at our annual meetings, we will attempt to schedule our annual meetings so that all of our directors can attend. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, all of our directors attended 100% of the meetings of the board of directors.

Compensation of Directors

 Our directors do not currently receive any cash compensation for their service as members of the board of directors. We anticipate that in the near future we will pay varying levels of compensation to the current and newly elected non-employee directors of the Company for their services as directors in the future based on their eligibility to be members of our audit and compensation committees. We anticipate determining director compensation in accordance with industry practice and standards.

We pay IGN, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Mukunda, $4,000 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services.  Mr. Mukunda is the Chief Executive Officer of IGN, LLC.  We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that the fee charged by IGN LLC was at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The agreement with IGN with respect to such services initially provided that payments would cease upon the acquisition of Sricon and TBL.  However, as our independent directors have approved the continuation of the agreement on a month-to-month basis having determined that the space and services are of benefit to the Company and, as noted above, they believe that the rates are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.  
 
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, 2008 were filed in a timely manner.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 
Accounting and Tax Considerations
 
The Company’s stock option grant policy will be impacted by the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, which was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Under this accounting pronouncement, the Company is required to value unvested stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 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 the Company’s 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

Prior to the acquisition of Sricon and TBL by the Company on March 8, 2008, we did not pay any cash compensation to our executive officers or their affiliates except as follows.   As described above in “Directors, Executive Officers And Special Advisors of the Company – Director Compensation”, we pay IGN, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Mukunda, $4,000 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services, an amount which is not intended as compensation for Mr. Mukunda.   On or around November 27, 2006, we engaged SJS Associates, an affiliate of Mr. Selvaraj, which provides the services of Mr. John Selvaraj as our Treasurer.  We have agreed to pay SJS Associates $5,000 per month for these services.  Mr. Selvaraj is the Chief Executive Officer of SJS Associates.  Effective November 1, 2007 the Company and SJS Associates terminated the agreement.  We subsequently entered into a new agreement with SJS Associates on identical terms subsequent to the acquisition of Sricon and TBL.   On May 22, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary India Globalization Capital Mauritius  (“IGC-M”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Ram Mukunda, pursuant to which he will receive a salary of $300,000 per year for services to IGC and IGC-M as Chief Executive Officer.   The Employment Agreement was approved in May 2008 and made effective as of March 8, 2008.  For fiscal year 2008, Mr. Mukunda was paid $15,000.

The annual executive compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company is set out below.

On December 24, 2007 Dr. Krishna, our Chairman of the Board, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with us pursuant to which we agreed to issue him 446,226 shares of our common stock within 10 days of the consummation of the Acquisition as partial consideration for a $4,300,000 loan made by Dr. Krishna to the Company.   Pursuant to the consummation of the Acquisitions, Dr. Krishna was issued the shares.  These shares are entitled to the registration rights described above.

On March 7, 2008 Messrs. Mukunda and Krishna entered into an agreement with third parties to transfer on or after September 8, 2008 pursuant to the terms of certain Share Redistribution Agreements an aggregate of 1,368,031 shares, which amount was increased to 1,418,508 by a letter agreement executed by Messrs. Mukunda and Krishna on September 24, 2008.  Specifically, as modified the letter agreement, Mr. Mukunda agreed to transfer 1,156,820 shares and Dr. Krishna agreed to transfer 261,688 shares.   The purpose of the agreements were to induce such third parties to acquire shares of the Company's common stock and to cause such shares to be voted in favor of the Company’s acquisition.

Related Transactions

As of June 30, 2008, there were no related party transactions other than the agreements with IGN, an affiliate of Ram Mukunda, and SJS Associates, an affiliate of John Selvaraj and the following loan transaction:   In April 2008 R.L. Srivastava, Chairman of Sricon, made an unsecured loan of $1,953,157 to Sricon which is due in 6 months from the date of the loan, which due date is extendable after the 6 month period by mutual consent.  The loan’s interest rate is 2% annually. 

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.
 
Director Independence

We are listed on an exchange that requires its listed companies to have independent directors.  The Board of Directors has made the determination that Messrs. Krishna, Shenoy and Nathani are independent directors as defined by the American Stock Exchange listing standards.  The Amex listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.
 
Messrs. Mukunda and Krishna may be deemed to be our “parent,” “founder” and “promoter,” as these terms are defined under the Federal securities laws.
 

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 9, 2008 by:

 each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock;
 
 each of our executive officers, directors and our special advisors; and
 
 all of our officers and directors as a group.

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 8,780,107 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 9, 2008, 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 converted options or warrants into 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 October 9, 2008, 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 known by the Company to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, (ii) each director and director-nominee 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.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
General
 
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001. As of September 30, 2008, 8,780,107 shares of common stock are outstanding, held by __ record holders and no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

Units
 
Each unit consists of one share of common stock and two warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. Each of the common stock and warrants can be traded separately.
 
Common stock
 
Our stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Our board of directors is divided into three classes (Class A, Class B and Class C), each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Our stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

 
Preferred stock
 
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. No shares of preferred stock are being issued or registered in this offering. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.  We may issue some or all of the preferred stock to effect a business combination. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Warrants
 
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 23,374,000 shares of our common stock are currently outstanding, including warrants to purchase an aggregate of 22,609,000 shares of our common stock which were issued in our initial public offering and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,190,000 shares of our common stock which were issued in private placements. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time.   Upon exercise of the warrants, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to us. The warrants will expire March 3, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., Washington, DC time. We may call the warrants for redemption,
     
 
• 
in whole and not in part,
     
 
• 
at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable,
     
 
• 
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and
     
 
• 
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $8.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before we send notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The redemption criteria for our warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders with a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide sufficient liquidity to cushion the market reaction to our redemption call.

The warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.   The warrants issued in private placements incorporate certain provisions of the warrant agreement.

 
50

 
The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
 
None of the warrants issued in our initial public offering will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to meet these conditions and use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. This prospectus satisfies those conditions.  However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to satisfy the conditions in the future. The warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Purchase Option
 
In connection with the initial public offering of our securities, we sold to Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 units at a per-unit price of $7.50 (125% of the price of the units sold in the offering). The units issuable upon exercise of this option consist of one shares of our common stock and two warrants each exercisable to purchase a share of our common stock and are otherwise identical to those offered in our initial public offering except that the warrants included in the option have an exercise price of $6.25 (125% of the exercise price of the warrants included in the units sold in the offering).

Although the purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part of, the purchase option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from March 3, 2006 with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the purchase option. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the purchase option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the purchase option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price.

Dividends
 
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of dividends in the future will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Maryland Anti-Takeover Provisions and Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Charter and Bylaws
 
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 is 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.
 
 
51

 
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 acquiror 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 IGC 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 IGC 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 3 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 IGC 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 IGC stock and could further increase the difficulty of completing an offer to acquire our 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 IGC 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 IGC.

Stockholder Meetings; Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business . 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 IGC’s 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.
 
 
52

 
Special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chief executive officer, the board of directors or the secretary of IGC (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 IGC’s 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 IGC’s 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.

Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
 
The transfer agent for our securities and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
We have an aggregate of 8,780,107 shares of common stock outstanding.   Of these shares, 6,100,107 shares are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Shares purchased by our affiliates include the 170,000 shares included in the units purchased in a private placement by our officers and directors or their nominees, which were the subject of a lock-up agreement with us and the representative of the underwriters until we completed a business combination. Since we have completed a business combination, the lock-up has terminated with respect to those shares.  All of the remaining 2,500,000 shares are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering. None of those will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 until the one year holding period has elapsed with respect to each purchase and the additional conditions described in “Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies” below are satisfied
 
Rule 144
 
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale, or at any time during the preceding three months, and who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months, would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:
 
 
• 
1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which currently equals 87,801 shares; and
     
 
• 
the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
     
Sales under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

A person who has not been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least six months, would be entitled under Rule 144 to sell such shares without regard to any manner of sale, notice provisions or volume limitations described above. Any such sales must comply with the public information provision of Rule 144 until our common stock has been held for one year.
 
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
 
Historically, the SEC staff had taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, like us. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in recent amendments by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company.  The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:
 
 
the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
 
 
the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
 
 
the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
 
 
at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
 
As a result, it is likely that pursuant to Rule 144, our initial shareholders will not be able to sell their initial shares freely without registration until at least March 7, 2009, one year after we completed our initial business combination.   In addition, since we filed our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 late, such shareholders will not be able to sell their shares under Rule 144 until such time after March 7, 2009 as we have filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, other than Form 8-K reports, during the 12 months prior to the date that such shareholders attempt to sell their shares.
 
SEC Position on Rule 144 Sales
 
The SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a business combination, would act as an “underwriter” under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Accordingly, the SEC believes that those securities can be resold only through a registered offering and that Rule 144 would not be available for those resale transactions despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of India Globalization Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2008.

The balance sheet for the year ended March 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2007 and the period from April 29, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2006 were audited by other independent auditors. Those independent auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial statements audited by them.

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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of India Globalization Capital, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.   Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein for the year ended March 31, 2008.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2007 and the period from April 29, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2006. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of India Globalization Capital, Inc. as of March 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2007 and the period from April 29, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2006 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that India Globalization Capital, Inc. will continue as a going concern. The Company may face a mandatory liquidation by March 8, 2008 if a business combination is not consummated, unless certain extension criteria are met, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INDIA GLOBALIZATION CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
And the Period From April 29, 2005 (Inception) to March 31, 2006
 
 
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements at March 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period from April 29, 2005 (date of inception) to March 31, 2006 are audited.  The statements ending March 31, 2008 are consolidated with the newly acquired subsidiaries Sricon and TBL beginning March 8, 2008.  All our companies Sricon, TBL, IGC-M and IGC have financial years that end on March 31.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and the results of its operation and cash flows for the three years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and the period from April 29, 2005 (date of inception) to March 31, 2006.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2007.  The March 31, 2007 balance sheet and the statement of stockholders’ equity through March 31, 2007 have been derived from the audited financial statements.

NOTE B — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (the “Company” or “IGC”), a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company, formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more infrastructure businesses with operations primarily in India through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination or acquisition. On March 8, 2006 the Company completed an initial public offering.  On February 19, 2007 the Company incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.

Through its subsidiaries, the company’s primary focus is to execute major infrastructure projects in India such as constructing interstate highways, rural roads, mining and quarrying, and construction of high temperature cement and steel plants.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) (as described in Note C) was declared effective March 2, 2006. The Company consummated the Public Offering including the over allotment option on March 8, 2006, and preceding the consummation of the Public Offering on March 2, 2006 certain of the officers and directors of the Company purchased an aggregate of 170,000 units (the “Units”) from the Company in a private placement (the “Private Placement”).  The Units sold in the Private Placement were identical to the 11,304,500 Units sold in the Public Offering, but the purchasers in the Private Placement have waived their rights to conversion and receipt of the distribution on liquidation in the event the Company does not complete a business combination (as described below). The Company received net proceeds from the Private Placement and the Public Offering of approximately $62,815,000 (Note C).

As described in Note J, on March 7, 2008 following the stockholder approval of and pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) for  approximately $28.75 Million.  As also described in Note J, the Company paid about $12.03 Million for the acquisition of 77% of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL).  The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M.  The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL.
 
NOTE C — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
On March 8, 2006, the Company sold 11,304,500 Units in the Public Offering, including the exercise by  the Underwriter of the over-allotment in full. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value, and two redeemable common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. The Company has a right to redeem the Warrants in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $8.50 per share for any 20 trading-days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.  If the Company redeems the Warrants, either the holder will have to exercise the Warrants by purchasing the common stock from the Company for $5.00, or the Warrants will expire. The Warrants expire on March 3, 2011, or earlier upon redemption.

In connection with the Public Offering, the Company issued an option, for $100, to the Underwriter to purchase 500,000 Units at an exercise price of $7.50 per Unit. The Company has accounted for the fair value of the option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimated, using the Black-Scholes method, the fair value of the option granted to the Underwriter as of the date of grant was approximately $756,200 using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 30.1%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 3.9% and (3) expected life of five years. The estimated volatility was based on a basket of Indian companies that trade in the United States or the United Kingdom.  The option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the option (the difference between the exercise prices of the option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the option without the payment of any cash. The Warrants underlying such Units are exercisable at $6.25 per share.

NOTE D — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Policy for Goodwill / Impairment

Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's 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 accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
 
The company adopted provisions of FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ('FAS 142') which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Group defines as each circle.

FAS 142 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. 
 
The goodwill impairment test under FAS 142 is performed in two phases. The first step of the impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and step two of the impairment test must be performed. The second step of the impairment test quantifies the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the carrying amount of goodwill to the implied fair value. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

Impairment of long – lived assets and intangible assets
 
The company reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible 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 and material adverse changes in the economic climate.  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.

Income 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 reflect the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities such as stock warrants and options. The effect of the 23,374,000 warrants have been included in the diluted weighted average shares.   However, for the year ending March 31, 2008 the weighted average price of the common stock was below the exercise price of all outstanding warrants and therefore the warrants did not contribute to the dilution of basic shares.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Income taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
 
F-8

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents:

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the United States of America and Mauritius, which at times may exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalent.  The company does not invest its cash in securities that have an exposure to U.S. mortgages.

Recent Pronouncements:

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) on April 1, 2007.  FIN 48 clarifies the criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  In May 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position, FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1) which provides guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.   FSP FIN 48-1 was effective with the initial adoption of FIN 48.  The adoption of FIN 48 or FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released SFAS 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” that is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2008. The pronouncement resulted from a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board and continues the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company will re-classify any non-controlling interests as a component of equity.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
 
NOTE E — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

From inception to March 31, 2008, $50,000 was paid to SJS Associates for Mr. Selvaraj’s services.  We entered into an agreement with SJS Associates on substantially the same terms subsequent to the stockholder’s approval of the acquisitions of Sricon and TBL.  As a result of the new agreement, an additional $3,871 was accrued as due to SJS Associates for the period between March 8, 2008 and March 31, 2008.  This was paid to SJS Associates in the Company’s 2009 fiscal year.

The Company had agreed to pay Integrated Global Network, LLC (“IGN, LLC”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mukunda, an administrative fee of $4,000 per month for office space and general and administrative services from the closing of the Public Offering through the date of a Business Combination. From inception to March 31, 2008, approximately $96,000 was paid to IGN, LLC.  The Company and IGN, LLC have agreed to continue the agreement on a month-to-month basis.

The Company uses the services of Economic Law Practice (ELP), a law firm in India. A member of our Board Directors is a Partner with ELP.  Since inception to March 31, 2008, the Company has incurred $169,847 for legal services provided by ELP. 

NOTE F — COMMON STOCK

On August 24, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of one share of common stock for each two outstanding shares of common stock and approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock to 75,000,000. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of stock have been retroactively restated to reflect these transactions.  On March 7, 2008 we redeemed and bought a total of 6,159,346 shares at $5.94 per share.  At March 31, 2008 and 2007 we had 8,570,107 and 13, 974,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding respectively.   At March 31, 2008 and 2007, 24,874,000 shares of common stock, were reserved for issuance upon exercise of redeemable warrants, underwriters’ purchase option and warrants issued to Oliveira Capital, LLC.

NOTE H — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY

The Founders will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their shares of common stock acquired prior to the Public Offering and the shares of common stock they purchased in the Private Placement pursuant to an agreement executed on March 3, 2006. The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register these shares at any time after the date on which the lock-up period expires.  In addition, the Founders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the anniversary of the effective date of the Public Offering.
 
In connection with our proposed acquisition of a majority interest in MBL Infrastructures Limited (“MBL”), an unaffiliated third party has claimed that it is entitled to a finder's fee of approximately five percent of the purchase price (or, $1.75 million) for the acquisition if the acquisition was consummated.  While we do not admit that the unaffiliated third party is a finder that is entitled to payment, we had expressed a willingness to pay our customary Finder's fee of 0.25%.  The parties were attempting to reach an agreement on the amount of the fee to be paid if the acquisition was consummated.  As the MBL acquisition is no longer probable, we expect that there will be no finders fees payable and the claim to be without merit.

In connection with our proposed acquisition of a wind energy farm from Chiranjjeevi Wind Energy Limited ("CWEL"), we have agreed to pay a finder’s fee of 0.25% of the purchase price to Master Aerospace Consultants (Pvt) Ltd, a consulting firm located in India. The fee is contingent on the consummation of the transaction.

In connection with the Public Offering and pursuant to an advisory agreement, the Company engaged the Underwriter as its investment bankers to provide the Company with assistance in structuring the Business Combination. As compensation for the foregoing services, the Company paid the Underwriter a cash fee at the closing of a Business Combination equal to 2% of the aggregate consideration, or $1,500,000.  In addition, a fee of $90,000 was paid to Ferris, Baker for facilitating the loan to the Company by Oliveira Capital, LLC, at the closing of a Business Combination.
 
NOTE I – INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

MBL Infrastructure Limited Purchase Agreement

On February 5, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 425,000 warrants, and a note for $3,000,000 to Oliveira Capital, LLC for $3,000,000. The note carries interest at the rate of 8% and was due upon the earlier of February 5, 2008, or the consummation of a Business Combination.  The Company is negotiating an extension with Oliveira Capital.  If the Company extends the loan for 90 days without renegotiating an extension we would be required to issue an additional 425,000 warrants.  The Black Scholes valuation of the warrants was based on an annualized volatility of 42.8%, an annual interest rate of 3% and an expiration of 1,500 days would be $1,030,625.  We computed volatility for a period of 1,500 days. For approximately the first two years, we used the trading history of two representative companies that are listed on the Indian Stock exchange. For approximately two years, the trading history of the Company’s common stock was used.  The average volatility of the combined data extending just over four years was calculated as 42.8%.  Management believes that this volatility is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the value of the warrants.  Following the receipt of the $3,000,000 from Oliveira Capital, the Company on February 6, 2007 purchased $3,000,000 of convertible debentures from MBL. The debentures carry interest at the rate of 8%, are secured by 1,131,356 shares of MBL common stock and are carried at cost. The note from Oliveira Capital, LLC is secured by the convertible debentures issued to MBL.
 
Contract Agreement between IGC, CWEL, AMTL and MAIL

As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K dated May 2, 2007 and Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007, on April 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Contract Agreement Dated April 29, 2007 (“CWEL Purchase Agreement”) with CWEL, Arul Mariamman Textiles Limited (AMTL), and Marudhavel Industries Limited (MAIL), collectively CWEL. Pursuant to the CWEL Purchase Agreement, the Company or its subsidiary in Mauritius will acquire 100% of a 24-mega watt wind energy farm, consisting of 96 250-kilowatt wind turbines, located in Karnataka, India to be manufactured by CWEL.

CWEL is a manufacturer and supplier of wind operated electricity generators, towers and turnkey implementers of wind energy farms.  On May 22, 2007, the Company made a down payment of approximately $250,000 to CWEL.  Pursuant to the First Amendment dated August 20, 2007 (as previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K dated August 22, 2007), if the Company does not consummate the transaction with CWEL, approximately $187,500 will be returned to the Company. 

The Company is contemplating pursuing this opportunity, or a similar one if it is able to obtain adequate funding from the exercise of warrants, debt or other means.

NOTE K – PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF PROMISSORY NOTES

 Private Placement Offering of Secured Promissory Notes (the “Bridge Offering”)

As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K dated December 27, 2007, we conducted a private placement offering of secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of  $7,275,000 (the “Bridge Offering”). The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum from the date of issuance (January 10, 2008) until paid in full.  The Notes were repaid in full on March 19, 2008.

On March 7, 2008 the Company, issued 754,953 shares of common stock to the holders of the Notes on a pro rata basis and recorded the cost of the shares as an expense based on the closing price of the company’s stock on March 7, 2008.  The expense associated with the issuance of the shares is about $3,170,806.
 
NOTE L – VALUATION OF WARRANTS ISSUED TO OLIVEIRA CAPITAL, LLC

As previously disclosed, the Company sold a promissory note and 425,000 warrants to Oliveira Capital, LLC for $3,000,000. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 and expires five years from the date of issuance.  The Company has determined, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance would approximately be $ 1,235,000 using an expected life of five years, volatility of 46% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.8%. This amount is accounted for as a discount of the notes payable to Oliveira Capital, LLC.

We computed volatility for a period of five years. For approximately the first four years, we used the trading history of two representative companies that are listed on the Indian Stock exchange. For approximately one year, the trading history of the Company’s common stock was used. The average volatility of the combined data extending over five years was calculated as 46%. Management believes that this volatility is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the value of the warrants.

NOTE M – SPAC RELATED EXPENSES

As of March 31, 2008 we incurred about $5.765 Million of SPAC related expenses, and about $1.9 Million of SPAC interest related expenses, mostly as one-time expenses.  The major expenses are as follows: 1) as explained in Note K, about $3.1 Million was non-cash expenses associated with the award of stock to the Bridge investors.  2) As described in Note H, approximately $1.5 Million was paid to Ferris Baker Watts, of which $.9 Million was expensed as the services rendered by them related to acquisitions that we did not close.  3) Approximately, $.469 Million relates to the bridge loan from Oliveira Capital, LLC as described in Note I, and 5) approximately $.5 Million was incurred for legal and professional fees for two bridge loans and several acquisitions that we did not close.  In addition, we incurred about $1.23 Million in non-cash interest related expenses for the warrants issued to Oliveira Capital as described in Note I.

Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited
NOTES TO  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in Thousand US Dollars, except share data and as stated otherwise)
 
1. BACKGROUND
 
a) Incorporation and History
 
Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“SIPL” or “Sricon”) is an Infrastructure Company that has established itself as one of the leading companies in terms of  in  India infrastructure projects such as: National Highways, Civil and Structural Engineering Works for Power Plants, Steel Mills, Sugar Plants, Turnkey Power Supply Systems, Water Supply Schemes, Mining, Quarrying, and Cement Plants. SIPL’s business strategy is inspired by R.L. Srivastava, the Company Chairman and Managing Director, who started his career as a Civil Engineering Contractor.  Mr. Srivastava’s years of experience and technological insight has guided this company in the mist of great economic achievement and promise in the country of India. SIPL was incorporated in 1997 with the Registrar of Companies, Maharashtra as  “Srivastava Construction Private Limited”.
 
Until the official formation of SIPL, the infrastructure construction projects  performed by our partner firm, Vijay Engineering Enterprises “VEE” (partnership concern). SIPL was later formed to participate in larger scale development projects such as Highway development, Water Management Systems, Power and Cement Plants to name a few.  The two rapidly growing companies eventually combined to take advantage of greater synergies in terms of better managed resources, both human and capital.   SIPL is proud to  service it’s impressive book of business which includes notable infrastructure clients and partners such as the National Highway Authority of India, National Thermal Power Corporation, Western Coalfields Limited, Larsen & Turbo Limited, Nagpur Municipal Corporation, Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited, and Hindustan Steelworks Construction Limited.
 
The company is accredited with ISO 9001:2000 Certification and the scope for registration being   “To execute projects in the field of construction comprising of Road Works, Industrial Building/Infrastructure Projects, Plants foundations, Housing/Colony construction, bridge construction, Water works, Refractory Works and Jetty Works ”.
 
b) Description of Business
 
The current infrastructure construction business of the company primarily comprises of:
 
 
·  
Road Construction and Maintenance 
 
·  
Canal and Earth work
 
·  
Maintenance of Cement Plant including Refractory work
 
·  
Civil work for Power and Steel Plants
 
·  
Limestone and Coal Mining
 
c) Industry Overview
 
India’s construction industry revenue is estimated to be over $28 billion annually, which accounts for more than 6% of the GDP. The construction industry is currently the largest employer in the country, employing nearly32 million workers. The country’s apparent and limitless demand for new highways for better transportation systems, dams, pipelines along with government incentives, has caused a drastic surge in nearly all segments of the country.  This is evidenced by the increase in the large number of infrastructure procurement contracts over the past 7 to 10 years.   This remarkable growth is anticipated to continue for many years to come.
 
 
F-19

 
To illustrate India’s shared economic optimism among country leaders, Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, n, while addressing the Finance Ministers of ASEAN countries at the Indo ASEAN Summit in New Delhi, forecasted that India requires $150 billion at the rate of $15 billion per annum over the next 10 years. The current rate of U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in India is estimated at $5 billion per year.. It is further estimated that more than 50% of  future FDI’s will be earmarked for Infrastructure, Telecom, and Power projects.
 
Another example of India’s infrastructural growth is the Golden Quadrilateral, which is one of the largest highway projects under current development. It now has approximately 4,500 miles with and an  impressive 13,300 miles of north-south corridors.   Legislation is underway to plan miles of  East and West Coast corridors.
 
The Nodal Agencies (NHAI, NTPC, NHPC, and PGCL, which specializes in alternative energy sources,  has ambitious development plans in the near future. The value of overseas projects, under execution by Indian Companies is conservatively estimated to be nearly 4.2176 billion U.S. dollars , which covers major markets including  Malaysia, Middle East, and East Africa. The Industry is led by an intensely competitive environment, which is typically characteristic of larger and mature markets such as the United States and Japan. Therefore, no single alternative energy company controls the overall market.

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 asset 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.

4. DIVIDENDS
 
Final dividends proposed by the Board of Directors will be payable when formally declared by the shareholders, who have the right to decrease but not increase the amount of the dividend recommended by the Board of Directors. Interim dividends will be declared by the Board of Directors without the need for shareholders’ approval.
 
Dividends payable to equity shareholders will be based on the net income available for distribution as reported in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. Dividends can only be declared and paid in Indian Rupees and/or converted into foreign currency for an equivalent amount in cases where dividend is permitted to be repatriated.
 
Under the Indian Companies Act 1956, dividends may be paid out of the profits of a company in the year in which the dividend is declared or out of the undistributed profits of previous fiscal years. Before declaring a dividend greater than 10% of the par value of its equity shares, a company is required to transfer to its reserves a minimum percentage of its profits for that year, ranging from 2.5% to 10 %, depending on the dividend percentage to be declared in such year. Dividends can be distributed out of the general reserve in case of a loss or inadequacy of current distributable profits. Presently, the Company is required to pay dividend tax on the total amount of the dividend declared, distributed or paid at the specified tax rate including surcharge (applicable tax rate is 16.99% as at March 7, 2008).
 
The Company has not paid any dividends from inception through March 7, 2008.
 
Under the agreements with the lenders, lender specific permission will be required in certain cases for distributing dividends. The company has an outstanding secured loan of USD 2.83 million from the Bank of India wherein as per the terms of sanction, the company has submitted a stamped undertaking to the Bank; the company shall not without the Banks written permission declare dividend for any year except out of the profits relating to that year after meeting all the financial commitments to the bank and making all dues and necessary provisions.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No 131 “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. SFAS No 131 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. The Company operates in a single infrastructure construction segment.
 
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The company has to observe the laws, government orders and regulations of the state in which they operate. A number of them are currently involved in administrative proceedings arising out of the normal conduct of their business. In the opinion of management, however, the outcome of these actions will not materially affect the financial position, result of operations or cash flow.
 
Commitments
 
a) Capital commitments
 
The estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account not provided for as on March 31, 2006, March 31, 2007, March 7, 2008 are USD zero.
 
b) Guarantees
 
The Company had outstanding financial / performance bank guarantees of USD 4,116, USD 153 and USD 1,364 as of March 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and March 7, 2008.
 
Contingencies
 
     
a)
     
The company was awarded a contract from National Highway Authority of India (‘NHAI’) in 2004-05, for restoring the Jaipur – Gurgaon National Highway 8. The total contract value was USD 5.10 million to be completed in 9 months. The entire stretch of the site was handed over on piecemeal basis without any defined schedule in contravention with contractual provisions and approved construction program and methodology. This has resulted in additional costs due to additional deployment of resources for prolonged period. Thus, the company invoked the escalation clause of the contract and filed a claim of USD 8.16 million. The dispute has been referred to arbitration. The company has not recognized the claim amounts on its books.
   
 
b)
 
The company was awarded a contract from National Highway Authority of India (‘NHAI’) in 2001-02 for construction of a four lane highway on the Namkkal bypass on National Highway 7, in the state of Tamilnadu. The total contract value was USD 4 million and the construction was to have been completed by November 30, 2002. The escalation and variation claim of USD 5.27 million is pending with NHAI. An arbitration process was initiated on July 3, 2007. The company has not recognized the claim amounts on its books.
 
14. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
The Company is concentrated on projects undertaken by government and government enterprises.
 
Company’s business therefore requires that we continue to maintain pre-qualified status with key clients and we are not disqualified from future projects that these clients may award. Company’s major clients vary from period to period depending on the demand and the completion schedule of projects. The loss of a significant client or a number of significant clients or projects from such clients for any reason, including as a result of disqualification or dispute, may have an adverse effect on Company’s results of operations.
 
15. VENDOR RISK
 
The Company is significantly affected by the availability, cost and quality of the raw material  and fuel, which we need to construct and develop Company’s projects. The prices and supply of raw materials, bought out items and fuel depend on factors not under Company’s control, including general economic conditions, competition, production levels, transportation costs and import duties. Although we generally provide for price contingencies in Company’s contracts to limit Company’s exposure, if, for any reason, Company’s primary suppliers of raw materials, bought out items and fuel should curtail or discontinue their delivery of such materials to us in the quantities we need or at prices that are competitive or expected by us, Company’s ability to meet Company’s material requirements for our projects could be impaired, Company’s construction schedules could be disrupted, or Company’s earnings and business could suffer. Additionally, we rely on manufacturers and other suppliers and do not have control over the quality of products they supply, which may adversely affect the quality and workmanship of Company’s projects.
 
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On March 14, 2008, the company has allotted 4,041,776 equity shares @ USD 6.30 per equity share to India Globalization Capital, Mauritius (“IGC”) against the total consideration of 25.48 million. IGC has also purchased 12% equity from the promoters resulting in a 63% post investment ownership by IGC.

1. BACKGROUND
 
a) Incorporation and History:
 
Techni Bharathi Limited (“TBL”) was incorporated in the year 1982 by a team of enterprising technocrats who, inspired by the revolutionary ideas in the field, started pursuing the goal of becoming a world-class construction specialist. For TBL, the first decade was a period of learning. The TBL team worked vigorously on projects of moderate size, finding new ways to build without compromising on quality, designing innovative building methods and charting out cost-effective construction formulas.
 
The Year 1991 witnessed the company’s first foray into the strategic construction arena when Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Limited (a leading Government of India Company) assigned TBL for the construction of the Lakhya Dam. Since then TBL has been  engaged in engineering construction contracts for national infrastructure development such as highways, bridges, dams, hydro electric projects and rail roads.
 
b) Description of Business:
 
The various construction activities taken up by the company are as follows:
 
·  
Roads and Bridges
 
·  
Mechanized Earthworks
 
·  
Hydro Electric Projects
 
·  
High Rise Building Complexes and Townships
 
·  
Dams and Tunnels
 
·  
Irrigation Projects
 
·  
Rail Road Construction
 
c) Industry Overview
 
India’s construction industry is estimated over $ 28 billion, which accounts for more than 6% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This industry is the largest employer in India which is almost 32 million workers. The sector is riding on a high growth pattern, powered by large government subsidized expenditures, which is evidenced by newly constructed highways, dams, power plant and pipelines. Ancillary sectors such as power, transportation, petroleum and urban development are contributing to the high growth rates in the infrastructure building industry. are Power, Transport, Petroleum and urban Infrastructure.
 
 
F-41

 
To illustrate India’s shared economic optimism among country leaders, Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, while addressing the Finance Ministers of ASEAN countries at the Indo ASEAN Summit in New Delhi, forecasted  that India requires  $150 billion at the rate of  $15 billion per annum over the next 10 years. The current rate of U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in India is estimated at $5 billion per year.. It is further estimated that more than 50% of  future FDI’s will be earmarked for Infrastructure, Telecom, and Power projects.
 
Another example of India’s infrastructural growth is the Golden Quadrilateral, which is one of the largest highway projects under current development. It now has approximately 4,500 miles with and an  impressive 13,300 miles of north-south corridors.   Legislation is underway to build many miles of East and West Coast corridors.
 
The Nodal Agencies (NHAI, NTPC, NHPC, and PGCL, which specializes in alternative energy sources,  has ambitious development plans in the near future .The value of overseas projects, under construction by Indian Companies are conservatively estimated to be nearly $4.2 billion U.S. dollars , which covers major markets including  Malaysia, Middle East, and East Africa. The Industry is led by an intensely competitive environment, which is characteristic of larger and mature markets such as the United States and Japan. No single alternative energy company  controls  the overall market.

TBL often participates in joint venture bids, namely, Tantia-TBL joint , BEL-TBL, and Valecha-TBL joint ventures.
 
e) Risks and Threats
 
·  
The industry is highly governed by the political environment and economical policies prevalent within the country since significant portion of infrastructure spending originates from the Government. Any adverse change in the policies may slow down the Government’s commitment towards Infrastructure development.
 
·  
Competition:
 
 
Foreign Competition – The Government has opened the sector to foreign companies who can bid on projects on their own, or through joint ventures with domestic companies. This could create more competition in the future.
 
 
Domestic Competition - The Company faces two types of competition in the domestic sector:
       
 
(i)
 
Competition from the local players in and around their state, typically this is applicable to low value contracts.
       
 
(ii)
 
Marketing / Business Development - Construction contracts for infrastructure in India are offered by the Government sector, Central Government and the State Governments. Funds for these are allocated through their budgetary support as well as through international and domestic financial institutions such as World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Japan Bank for International co-operation, Housing & Urban Development Corporation, National Bank for Agricultural & Rural Development, etc. In view of the nature of our market, the major sources of information of ensuing tenders for construction contracts are newspapers and government gazettes. In addition to these, construction contracts are also offered by the private sector.
 
f) Strengths and Opportunities
 
·  
The Company is an integrated construction and infrastructure development company with front-end civil engineering and design skills.
 
·  
The Company has sufficient internal resources, technology and human capital that will. that enables us to pre-qualify for major contract solicitations.
 
The Company has a diverse service capability ranging from water and sewer management, to installing power transmission lines, construction of roads, housing complexes, airports and sea port construction, cement plant operations, canal  excavation projects.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
a) Basis of preparation
 
The financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and for the period ended March 7, 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘US GAAP’). The significant accounting policies adopted by TBL, in respect of these financial statements, are set out below.
 
These Financial statements have been prepared in US Dollars (USD), the national currency of United States of America.
 
b) Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The Indian rupee is the functional currency of 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.
 
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are expressed in the functional currency at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs and expenses are recorded using exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of income. Share Capital issued has been recorded at historical rates whereas those existing on March 31, 2004 have been translates at the rates prevailing on that date.

c) Revenue Recognition
 
For Revenue from construction contracts, we recognize revenue on construction type of contracts using the percentage of completion method of accounting where by revenue is recognized as performance under contract progresses. The Company has also made requisite adjustments in the recognized revenues under Indian GAAP (IGAAP) in order to ensure conformity with the provisions of SOP 81-1. All infrastructure contracts of TBL are in the nature of item rate contracts, where there is a Bill of Quantity (BOQ) and item rate prescribed for each activity done. As on closing date of all individual activities of the BOQ executed are jointly measured and valued at the item quoted rate. Accordingly, percentage of completion is determined in terms of the proportion of value added (the contract value of total work performed to date) to the total contract value.
 
d) Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the use of management estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates are based on historical experience and information that is available to management about current events and actions that the Company may take in the future. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, the useful lives and the evaluation of impairment of property and equipment, the income tax, the contingencies and the provision for impairment of receivables and advances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts and changes in contract estimates
 
The Company records the provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are identified. The cumulative effects of revisions to contract revenue and estimated completion costs are recorded in the accounting period in which the amounts became evident and can be reasonably estimated. These revisions may  include such items as the effects of change orders, claims, warranty claims, liquidated damages or other contractual penalties, adjustments for audit findings on government contracts and contract closeout settlements.
 
e) Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The components of item are as follows:
 
·  
Fixed Deposit with various banks in order to obtain Bank Guarantees
 
·  
Margin Money Deposit for Letter of Credit
 
Restricted Cash has been deposited into bank with specified period of time. Specified period is based on estimated time taken by each project. The classification of restricted cash into current and non-current is determined based on maturity date of the deposit.

Asset retirement obligations associated with the Company’s leasehold land are subject to the provisions of FAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” and related interpretation, FIN No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” . The lease agreements entered into by the Company may contain clauses requiring restoration of the leased site at the end of the lease term and therefore create asset retirement obligations. The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value of each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement.
 
l) Foreign currency transactions
 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are expressed in the functional currency Indian Rupees at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.

(iii) Compensated absences
 
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensate absences based on the unavailed leave balance and the last drawn salary of the respective employees. The Company has provided for the liability on account of compensated absences in accordance with FAS No. 43, “Accounting for Compensated Absences”.
 
s) Income Taxes
 
Income Taxes are accounted using the asset and liability method . Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years on 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 the statement of operations in the period in which the change is enacted. Based on management’s judgment, the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such benefits will not be realized. Tax credits are generally recognized in the year they arise.
 
t) Pre-operating costs
 
Pre-operating costs represent certain marketing and administrative expenses incurred prior to the commencement of commercial operations of the new circles. These costs are expensed as incurred.

v) Recent accounting pronouncements
 
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
 
w) Reclassification

9. DIVIDENDS
 
Final dividends proposed by the Board of Directors will be payable when formally declared by the shareholders, who have the right to decrease but not increase the amount of the dividend recommended by the Board of Directors. Interim dividends will be declared by the Board of Directors without the need for shareholders’ approval.
 
Dividends payable to equity shareholders will be based on the net income available for distribution as reported in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. Dividends can only be declared and paid in Indian Rupees and/or converted into foreign currency for an equivalent amount in cases where dividend is permitted to be repatriated.
 
Under the Indian Companies Act 1956, dividends may be paid out of the profits of a company in the year in which the dividend is declared or out of the undistributed profits of previous fiscal years. Before declaring a dividend greater than 10% of the par value of its equity shares, a company is required to transfer to its reserves a minimum percentage of its profits for that year, ranging from 2.5% to 10 %, depending on the dividend percentage to be declared in such year. Dividends can be distributed out of the general reserve in case of a loss or inadequacy of current distributable profits. Presently, the Company is required to pay dividend tax on the total amount of the dividend declared, distributed or paid at the specified tax rate including surcharge (Applicable tax rate is 16.99% as at March 07).
 
The Company has not paid any dividends from the year 2004 through March 7, 2008.

15. VENDOR RISK
 
The Company is significantly affected by the availability, cost and quality of the raw material and fuel, which we need to construct and develop Company’s projects. The prices and supply of raw materials, bought out items and fuel depend on factors not under Company’s control, including general economic conditions, competition, production levels, transportation costs and import duties. Although we generally provide for price contingencies in Company’s contracts to limit Company’s exposure, if, for any reason, Company’s primary suppliers of raw materials, bought out items and fuel should curtail or discontinue their delivery of such materials t us in the quantities we need or at prices that are competitive or expected by us, Company’s ability to meet Company’s material requirements for our projects could be impaired, Company’s construction schedules could be disrupted, or Company’s earnings and business could suffer. Additionally, we rely on manufacturers and other suppliers and do not have control over the quality of products they supply, which may adversely affect the quality and workmanship of Company’s projects.

Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
 
IGC operates through two infrastructure companies in India, Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) and Techni Bharathi, Limited (“TBL”).  IGC owns sixty-three percent of Sricon and seventy-seven percent of TBL.  IGC through its subsidiaries has three core businesses: 1) highway and other heavy construction, 2) mining & quarrying and 3) civil construction and engineering of high temperature plants. The Company’s medium term plans are to expand each of these lines of business.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including among others, dependency on India’s economy and government policies, seasonal business factors, competitively priced raw materials, dependence upon key members of the management team and increased competition from existing and new entrants.

India Globalization Capital, Inc.

IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed 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 or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, the company completed an initial public offering.  On February 19, 2007, the Company incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius. 

Merger and Accounting Treatment

On March 7, 2008, the Company consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% of the equity of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL). The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M.  Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL acquired by IGC were purchased directly from the companies. IGC purchased a portion of the shares from the existing owners of the companies.  The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL. Prior to the acquisitions of Sricon and TBL, IGC had no operations and was considered a developmental stage enterprise.

The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Under this method of accounting, for accounting and financial purposes, IGC-M, Limited was treated as the acquiring entity and Sricon and TBL as the acquired entities.  The consolidated financial statements provided here and going forward are the consolidated statements of IGC, which include IGC-M following the date of formation of IGC-M and Sricon and TBL following the date of the Company’s acquisition of the interests in Sricon and TBL.  The consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operating results of Sricon and TBL prior to the acquisition. However, for comparative purposes, the combined statement of operations for the two acquired companies are presented as the “Combined Predecessors” for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company”, “IGC”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to India Globalization Capital, Inc, together with its wholly owned subsidiary IGC-M, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Sricon and TBL).  Ownership in these two companies is reflected in the financial statements as “Minority Interest”. The following represents our corporate structure after the acquisitions:


 
F-56


Securities

We have three securities listed on the American Stock Exchange: (1) common stock, $.0001 par value (ticker symbol: IGC), (2) redeemable warrants to purchase common stock (ticker symbol: IGC.WS) and (3) units consisting of one share of common stock and two redeemable warrants to purchase common stock (ticker symbol: IGC.U).  On March 8, 2006, we sold 11,304,500 units in our initial public offering.  These 11,304,500 units include 9,830,000 units sold to the public and the over-allotment option of 1,474,500 units exercised by the underwriters of the public offering. The units were separated into common stock and warrants on April 13, 2006.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00.  The warrants expire on March 3, 2011, or earlier upon redemption.  The registration statement for initial public offering was declared effective on March 2, 2006.  The warrants are currently not exercisable pending the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to the warrants.  When the warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised by contacting the Company or the transfer agent Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.  We have a right to call the warrants, provided the common stock has traded at a closing price of at least $8.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.  If we call the warrants, the holder will either have to redeem the warrants by purchasing the common stock from us for $5.00 or the warrants will expire.

On March 7, 2008, we bought and redeemed a total of 6,159,346 shares.  As a result, on June 30, 2008, we had 8,570,107 shares outstanding (including shares sold to our founders in a private placement prior to the public offering) and 24,874,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of redeemable warrants and underwriters’ purchase option.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
 
Pro Forma Results of Operations

The accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations only reflect the operating results of companies acquired following the date of acquisition and do not reflect the operating results prior to the acquisitions.  The following are pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 with the results for the Company alone for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included for comparative purposes.  The results in the column labeled “Pro Forma Three Months Ended June 30, 2007” assume the Sricon and TBL acquisitions occurred on April 1, 2007.  The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisitions taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the Company. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments include adjustments for interest expense, start up costs, increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the application of the purchase method of accounting based on the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to the presentation of the current year.  Sales and services include adjustments made towards liquidated damages, price variation and charges paid for discounting of receivables arising from construction/project contracts on a non-recourse basis, wherever applicable.

Revenue Recognition
 
The majority of the revenue recognized for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as follows:

Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
 
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.   
 
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. 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
 
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
 
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
 
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.
 
Policy for Goodwill / Impairment

Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's 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 accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
 
The company adopted provisions of FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ('FAS 142') which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Group defines as each circle.

FAS 142 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. 
 
The goodwill impairment test under FAS 142 is performed in two phases. The first step of the impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and step two of the impairment test must be performed. The second step of the impairment test quantifies the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the carrying amount of goodwill to the implied fair value. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

 
F-58

 
Impairment of long – lived assets and intangible assets
 
The company reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible 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 and material adverse changes in the economic climate.  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.

Income 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 reflect the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities such as stock warrants and options. The effect of the 23,374,000 warrants have been included in the diluted weighted average shares.  
 
For June 30, 2008, the basis shares include shares sold in the IPO, founder’s shares and shares sold in the private placement, and shares awarded to the Bridge Investors, and shares redeemed by the company.  The fully diluted shares include basic shares plus the following: shares arising from the exercise of warrants sold as part of the units in the offering plus shares arising from the exercise of warrants issued to Oliveira Capital.   The UPO issued to the underwriters (1,500,000 shares) is not considered in this calculation as the strike price for the UPO is “out of the money” at $6.50 per share. The historical weighted average per share, for our shares, for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, was applied using the treasury method of calculating the fully diluted shares.   The calculation for fully diluted shares includes 378,511 shares and excludes 22,999,489 shares from the EPS computations.
 
Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Income taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents:

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the United States of America and Mauritius, which at times may exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalent.  The company does not invest its cash in securities that have an exposure to U.S. mortgages.
 
Recent Pronouncements:

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) on April 1, 2007.  FIN 48 clarifies the criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  In May 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position, FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1) which provides guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.   FSP FIN 48-1 was effective with the initial adoption of FIN 48.  The adoption of FIN 48 or FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released SFAS 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” that is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2008. The pronouncement resulted from a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board and continues the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company will re-classify any non-controlling interests as a component of equity.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Indemnification of officers and directors
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law. Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.
 
“Section 2-418. Indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents.
 
(a) Definitions. — In this section the following words have the meanings indicated.
 
(1)  
“Director” means any person who is or was a director of a corporation and any person who, while a director of a corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan.
 
(2)  
“Corporation” includes any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of a corporation in a merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which the predecessor’s existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.

(3)  
 ”Expenses” includes attorney’s fees.
 
(4)  
“Official capacity” means the following:

(i)  
When used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation; and
 
(ii)  
When used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in subsection (j), the elective or appointive office in the corporation held by the officer, or the employment or agency relationship undertaken by the employee or agent in behalf of the corporation.

(iii)  
“Official capacity” does not include service for any other foreign or domestic corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan.
 
(5)  
“Party” includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

(6)  
“Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.
 
 
57

 
(b) Permitted indemnification of director. —
 
(1)  
A corporation may indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that:
 
(i)  
The act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding; and

1.  
Was committed in bad faith; or
 
2.  
Was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

(ii)  
The director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or
 
(iii)  
In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

(2)  
 
(i)  
Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.
 
   
(ii)  
However, if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
 
(3)  
 
(i)  
The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this subsection.
 

 
(ii)  
The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.
 
(4)  
A corporation may not indemnify a director or advance expenses under this section for a proceeding brought by that director against the corporation, except:

 
(i)  
For a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under this section; or
 
 
(ii)  
If the charter or bylaws of the corporation, a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation, or an agreement approved by the board of directors of the corporation to which the corporation is a party expressly provide otherwise.
 
(c) No indemnification of director liable for improper personal benefit. — A director may not be indemnified under subsection (b) of this section in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received.
 
(d) Required indemnification against expenses incurred in successful defense — Unless limited by the charter:
 
(1)  
A director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (b) of this section shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.
 
(2)  
A court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of a director and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances:

(i)  
If it determines a director is entitled to reimbursement under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the director shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or
 
(ii)  
If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director has met the standards of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section or has been adjudged liable under the circumstances described in subsection (c) of this section, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in subsection (c) shall be limited to expenses.

(3)  
A court of appropriate jurisdiction may be the same court in which the proceeding involving the director’s liability took place.
 
(e) Determination that indemnification is proper. — (1) Indemnification under subsection (b) of this section may not be made by the corporation unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section.
 
(2)  
Such determination shall be made:
 
 
 

(i)  
By the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the board consisting solely of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full board in which the designated directors who are parties may participate;
 
(ii)  
 By special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or a committee of the board by vote as set forth in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, or, if the requisite quorum of the full board cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of the full board in which directors who are parties may participate; or
 
(iii)  
By the stockholders.

(3)  
Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the manner specified in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (2) of this subsection for selection of such counsel.
 
(4)  
Shares held by directors who are parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter under this subsection.
 
 
58

 
(f) Payment of expenses in advance of final disposition of action. — (1) Reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of:
 
(i)  
A written affirmation by the director of the director’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation as authorized in this section has been met; and
 
(ii)  
A written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

 (2)  
The undertaking required by subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.
 
(3)  
Payments under this subsection shall be made as provided by the charter, bylaws, or contract or as specified in subsection (e) of this section.
 
(g) Validity of indemnification provision. — The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or authorized by this section may not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which a director may be entitled under the charter, the bylaws, a resolution of stockholders or directors, an agreement or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
 
(h) Reimbursement of director’s expenses incurred while appearing as witness. — This section does not limit the corporation’s power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the director has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.
 
(i)           Director’s service to employee benefit plan. — For purposes of this section:
 
(1)  
The corporation shall be deemed to have requested a director to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance of the director’s duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the director to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan;
 
(2)  
Excise taxes assessed on a director with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fines; and

(3)  
Action taken or omitted by the director with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of the director’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the director to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
 
(j)           Officer, employee or agent. — Unless limited by the charter:
 
(1)  
An officer of the corporation shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this section for a director and shall be entitled, to the same extent as a director, to seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d);
 
(2)  
A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same extent that it may indemnify directors under this section; and

(3)  
A corporation, in addition, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be provided by its charter, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.
 
(k) Insurance or similar protection. — (1) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the provisions of this section.
 
(2)  
A corporation may provide similar protection, including a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond, not inconsistent with this section.
 
(3)  
The insurance or similar protection may be provided by a subsidiary or an affiliate of the corporation.
 
(l) Report of indemnification to stockholders. — Any indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a director in accordance with this section, if arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, shall be reported in writing to the stockholders with the notice of the next stockholders’ meeting or prior to the meeting.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
 
59

 
Paragraph B. of Article Tenth of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides:
 
“The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 2-418 of the MGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding or which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”
 
Article XI of our Bylaws provides for indemnification of any of our directors, officers, employees or agents for certain matters in accordance with Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.

Financial Statement Schedules
 
All financial statement schedules are omitted because they are not applicable, not required or the information is indicated elsewhere in the financial statements or the notes thereto.
 
   
Item 17.  
Undertakings
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offering therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
64

 
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that:
 
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
 
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
