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.

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).

Our 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 may be separated into common stock and warrants.  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 exercisable and 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 2, 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.

Overview

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:

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.

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.



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.  Our SEC filings are also available at www.sec.gov.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
THE  FOLLOWING  RISK FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING THE COMPANY,  ITS BUSINESS, CONDITION AND PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE). THESE RISK FACTORS ARE NOT NECESSARILY EXHAUSTIVE AND ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS, IF ANY, MAY  BE MATERIAL OR HAVE SIGNIFICANCE TO AN INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR. MANY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES  INVOLVE  RISK  FACTORS OR A RISK OF LOSS AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE NORMAL AND CERTAIN EXTRAORDINARY  RISKS.
 
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.

As we scale our operations we may increase the amount of money we borrow for working capital and leasing of equipment 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 operating income.

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.

Sricon and TBL are dependent on the government of India as well as the state governments for contracts.  Their operations and financial results may be affected by changes in the government’s policy towards building infrastructure.  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 infrastructure building which could adversely affect our future performance.  We foresee no immediate changes to government policy or market conditions that would adversely affect our ability to conduct business.

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.

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, insurgencies or the threat of violence could slow down road building activity adversely affecting our road building business.

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.

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.   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. However, there can be no assurance that TBL will not have to pay higher interest rates in the future, which could reduce its net income.
 
Availability of  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 the demand from competing larger and well-established firms increases for procuring raw materials, we could face an increase in the price of raw materials that may negatively impact profitability.
 
Our business is dependent on contracts awarded by the Government and its agencies.

The businesses of Sricon and TBL are dependent on 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 BOT industry is highly competitive, 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.



Leveled penalties for time overruns may adversely effect our economic performance.

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 impose penalties if contracts are not executed in a timely manner.  If Sricon and TBL are unable to meet the performance criteria as prescribed by respective contracts, then levied penalties may adversely affect our financial performance.
 
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 continuing relationships and pre-qualified status with key clients and strategic partners.

Our business model relies heavily on our management team and any unexpected loss of key officers may adversely affectour operations
 
The continued success of our business is largely dependent on the continued services of key employees in IGC, Sricon, and TBL.  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 no one  is irreplaceable, the loss of the services of any would be disruptive to our business.  In order to mitigate this risk factor we are recruiting professional managers and expanding the executive ranks as well as pursuing succession-planning initiatives, but there can be no guarantees that these mitigation efforts will be successful.
 
Quarterly financial results 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 construction work.  This results in uneven revenue and operating results through the quarters.  In general the months  between June and September are the rainy seasons and these tend to be slower quarters than the others.

·  
Our 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 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 and 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.
 
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 June through 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.
 
 

 
We incur costs as a result of operating as a public company. Our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.  Because we report in India in IGAAP and in the US in USGAAP, we may experience untimely close of our books and records and delays in the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures.

Prior to our acquisitions, both Sricon and TBL operated as private companies.  As part of a public company with substantial operations, we are experiencing an increase in legal, accounting and other expenses.  In addition the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX” act), as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the American Stock Exchange, have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.  Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives.  We have not evaluated or tested internal controls over financial reporting at Sricon and TBL.  We expect to carry out the evaluations and take install systems and processes as required. However, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of the evaluation testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations.

The audit report provided by Yoganandh and Ram (Y&R) will require a review by a US firm.

The SEC requires that the 2008 audits of Sricon and TBL, conducted by Y&R, be reviewed by another PCAOB registered firm.  If the review identifies changes to the audit, we will be required to amend our annual report as filed on Form 10-K.  This is expected to increase our legal, accounting and other expenses.   Ideally, the annual report as filed on Form 10-K would have been filed after the review.  However, we would not have been able to file on time.  We have therefore moved our annual meeting of the shareholders to September in order to give ourselves enough time to have the annual report reviewed.

The Company is still in the process of making significant compensation decisions.

The compensation committee is still in the process of making decisions on compensation.  In the event the compensation committee awards cash, stock or options to key employees and directors, it will impact our earnings.

The Company has warrants outstanding, which could dilute the number of shares outstanding.

At the time the warrants are exercised, the company will get the exercise price, unless the exercise is cashless.   In either case, such an exercise will also increase the number of shares outstanding.  This may adversely affect the share price as the supply of shares eligible for sale in the public market will increase.  The increased number of shares offered for sale in the public market may exceed the public demand to buy shares at a given market price resulting in the market price adjusting downward to equalize supply and demand.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments

On May 19, 2008 we received a letter from the SEC in response to our filing of a Form 8-K on May 8, 2008 stating that the audit firm of Yoganandh and Ram (Y&R) which has audited the financial statements contained in this Form 10-K is not recognized by the staff of the SEC.  The SEC informed us that foreign auditors that wish to practice before the SEC are expected to demonstrate their knowledge and experience in applying U.S. GAAP, PCAOB standards, SEC financial reporting rules and SEC requirements prior to inclusion of their audit reports in SEC filings.

The firm of Y&R is registered with the PCAOB and we are working with Y&R and the SEC to ensure that requirements of the SEC are fulfilled. We expect that the audits of Sricon, TBL and the annual report of IGC performed by Y&R will be reviewed by another PCAOB registered audit firm experienced with SEC filings and recognized by the SEC.  If the review process results in adjustments to the financial statements, we will file an amendment to this Form 10-K. Waiting for the review in order to file this Form 10-K would have resulted in an inordinate delay in filing.
 
Item 2.

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.  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.

PART II
 
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
The Company commenced its initial public offering on March 8, 2006. In the initial public offering, the Company offered  units for purchase. A unit in the Company is comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and two warrants to purchase one share of common stock. On April 13, 2006, there was a voluntary separation of the Company’s units into shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock which permitted separate trading of the common stock and warrants. The common stock, units and warrants trade on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols “IGC,” “IGC.U,” and “IGC.WS,” respectively. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices of the units for the fiscal year, as reported on the American Stock Exchange.
 
The following table shows, for the last eight fiscal quarters, the high and low closing prices per share of the Common Stock, Warrants and Units as quoted on the American Stock Exchange:

As part of the Bridge Offering, the Company also agreed to issue an aggregate of 754,953 shares of its common stock to the investors on a pro rata basis within ten business days following the consummation of a Business Combination that is approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders.  On March 7, 2008 we consummated a Business Combination that was approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders and the investors in the Bridge Offering became eligible to receive the shares.  The Company issued 754,953 shares to the Bridge Investors.  The Company agreed to allow the Investors to register the resale of the shares as part of a subsequent registration statement relating to securities of the Company, subject to certain specified exceptions.

Background

 IGC, a Maryland corporation was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company 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 an agreement to acquire 63% of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% 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 descriptions of our business for periods and dates prior to March 7, 2008 include information on Sricon and TBL.
 
Sricon was incorporated in 1997 with the Registrar of Companies, Maharashtra in the name of “Srivastava Construction Private Limited.”  Sricon is located in Nagpur, India. TBL was incorporated in 1982.  

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.

We are an engineering and construction company engaged in three core 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.  Through our subsidiaries, we have a pan-India focus and Sricon is accredited with ISO 9001:2000 certification.  Our present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.   Including our subsidiaries, we have approximately 300 skilled employees and over 800 unskilled labor contractors.  Our larger subsidiary, Sricon, has the capacity and prior experience to bid on contracts priced at a maximum of about $116 million.  Our subsidiaries have recently won several new construction contracts including, as disclosed in a press release, a contract to build 150 miles of rural roads including one major and 33 minor bridges.  Also, we  recently won five licenses for  quarrying  rock aggregate which is a raw material used in heavy construction as well as road building.  We estimate that there is around $50 Million of rock aggregate in the five quarries.  We expect to mine this over the next three to five years.

 
Through our subsidiaries, we have over $349 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.

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.

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. 
 
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.

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

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.

Item 7A. 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.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires both Sricon and TBL 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. Both our Indian subsidiaries have  based their estimates and judgments on experience and other assumptions that they find reasonable.  Actual results may differ from such estimates as conditions and assumptions change, which could have a material impact on the financial statements.

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, income taxes, contingencies and the provision for impairment of receivables and advances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

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.
 
 
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  G – INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2008 and the period ended March 31, 2007 consists of the following:

   
March 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
             
Current:
           
Federal
  $ 708,868     $ 902,510  
Foreign
    (370,355 )     -  
State
    -       -  
Net Current
    338,513       902,510

Net Deferred
    (262,424 )     (117,652 )
       Total tax provision
  $ 76,089     $ 784,858  

The total tax provision for income taxes for year ended March 31, 2008 and the period ended March 31, 2007 differs from that amount which would be computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes as follows:

   
March 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Statutory Federal income tax rate
    34 %     34 %
Non-cash compensation expense
               
State tax benefit net of federal tax
    (0.8 )%     (1.3 )%
Increase in state valuation allowance
    0.8 %     1.3 %
Other
               
                 
Effective income tax rate
    34.0 %     34 %

   
March 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Operating costs deferred for income tax purposes
  $ 184,570     $ 242,015  
Interest income deferred for reporting purposes
  $ 95,792       11,059  
Difference between accrual accounting for reporting purposes and cash accounting for tax purposes
  $ 235,665       (75,514 )
Less: Valuation Allowance
    (110,951 )     (34,908 )
                 
Net deferred tax asset
  $ 405,076     $ 142,652  

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the state deferred tax asset since they cannot determine realizability for tax purposes and therefore cannot conclude that the deferred tax asset is more likely than not recoverable at this time.


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 J – BUSINESS COMBINATION

As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K dated September 21, 2007 and Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007, on September 21, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Subscription cum Purchase Agreement  (the “Sricon Subscription Agreement”) dated as of September 15, 2007 with Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited  (“Sricon”) and certain individuals (collectively, the “Sricon Promoters”), pursuant to which the Company or its subsidiary in Mauritius (IGC-M) will acquire (the “Sricon Acquisition”) 4,041,676 newly-issued equity shares  (the “New Sricon Shares”) directly from Sricon for approximately $26 million and 351,840 equity shares from Mr. R. L. Srivastava for approximately $3 million (both based on an exchange rate of INR 40 per USD) so that at the conclusion of the transactions contemplated by the Sricon Subscription Agreement the Company would own approximately 63% of the outstanding equity shares of Sricon.  The Sricon Acquisition was consummated on March 7, 2008.

 As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K dated September 21, 2007 and Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007, on September 21, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement  (the “TBL Subscription Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2007 with Techni Bharathi Limited (“TBL”) and certain individuals (collectively, the “TBL Promoters”), pursuant to which the Company through its subsidiary in Mauritius (IGC-M) acquired (the “TBL Acquisition”) 7,150,000 newly-issued company stock for approximately $6.9 million, 1,250,000 newly-issued convertible preference shares for approximately $3.13 million  (both at an exchange rate of INR 40 per USD; collectively, the “New Shares”) directly from TBL and 5,000,000 convertible preference shares from Odeon, a Singapore based holder of TBL securities, for approximately $2 million.  With the conclusion of this transaction, on March 7, 2008 the Company owns approximately 77%, of the outstanding equity shares of TBL.

The assets and liabilities acquired as a result of above business combinations were recorded at fair values, with the excess of the purchase consideration over fair value of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the company's share of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition during the year ended March 31, 2007:

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.

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.
 
 
 
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.

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.

Amounts in Thousand US Dollars, except share data and as stated otherwise
 
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.
 
 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information requiring disclosure in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company, under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, excluding the recent Sricon and TBL acquisitions as of March 31, 2008.  Based upon that evaluation, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting it in a timely manner to information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in this report.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, excluding the recent Sricon and TBL acquisitions, as of March 31, 2008 based on the criteria in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2008. 

Prior to the consummation of the Sricon and TBL acquisitions on March 7, 2008, we were a blank check company.  Our wholly owned subsidiary, IGC-M, acquired 63% of Sricon and 77% of TBL.  Management has excluded IGC-M, Sricon and TBL from its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, due to the limited time from the dates of such acquisitions on March 7, 2008 through March 31, 2008, in which to perform such evaluations. Management plans to assess the internal controls over financial reporting for all of our 2008 acquisitions in 2009. 
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

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.
 
Item 11.  Executive Compensation
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Overview of Compensation Policy
 
The Company’s Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve, or in some cases recommend for the approval of the full Board of Directors the annual compensation for the executive officers of the Company. This Committee has the responsibility for establishing, implementing, and monitoring the Company’s compensation strategy and policy. Among its principal duties, the Committee ensures that the total compensation of the executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive.
 
Objectives and Philosophies of Compensation
 
The primary objective of the Company’s compensation policy, including the executive compensation policy, is to help attract and retain qualified, energetic managers who are enthusiastic about the Company’s mission and products. The policy is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual and long-term strategic goals aligning executive performance with company growth and shareholder value. In addition, the Board of Directors strives to promote an ownership mentality among key leaders and the Board of Directors.
 
Setting Executive Compensation
 
The compensation policy is designed to reward performance. In measuring executive officers’ contribution to the Company, the Compensation Committee considers numerous factors including the Company’s growth and financial performance as measured by revenue, gross margin and net income before taxes among other key performance indicators.
 
Regarding most compensation matters, including executive and director compensation, management provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee; however, the Compensation Committee does not delegate any of its functions to others in setting compensation. The Compensation Committee does not currently engage any consultant related to executive and/or director compensation matters.
 
Stock price performance has not been a factor in determining annual compensation because the price of the Company’s common stock is subject to a variety of factors outside of management’s control. The Company does not subscribe to an exact formula for allocating cash and non-cash compensation. However, a significant percentage of total executive compensation is performance-based. Historically, the majority of the incentives to executives have been in the form of non-cash incentives in order to better align the goals of executives with the goals of stockholders.

base salary
     
 
·
performance-based incentive cash compensation
     
 
·
right to purchase the company’s stock at a preset price (stock options)
     
 
·
retirement and other benefits
 
Base Salary
 
The Company provides named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary ranges for named executive officers are determined for each executive based on his or her position and responsibility.
 
During its review of base salaries for executives, the Committee primarily considers:
 
 
·
market data;
     
 
·
internal review of the executives’ compensation, both individually and relative to other officers; and
     
 
·
individual performance of the executive.
 
Salary levels are typically evaluated annually as part of the Company’s performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility.
 
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
 
The management incentive plan gives the Committee the latitude to design cash and stock-based incentive compensation programs to promote high performance and achievement of corporate goals, encourage the growth of stockholder value and allow key employees to participate in the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. So that stock-based compensation may continue to be a viable part of the Company’s compensation strategy, management is currently seeking shareholder approval of a proposal to increase the number of shares of Company common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s Stock Plan.
 
Ownership Guidelines
 
To directly align the interests of the Board of Directors with the interests of the stockholders, the Committee recommends that each Board member maintain a minimum ownership interest in the Company. Currently, the Compensation Committee recommends that each Board member own a minimum of 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with such stock to be acquired within a reasonable time following election to the Board.
 
Stock Option Program
 
The Stock Option Program assists the Company to:
 
 
·
enhance the link between the creation of stockholder value and long-term executive incentive compensation;
     
 
·
provide an opportunity for increased equity ownership by executives; and
     
 
·
maintain competitive levels of total compensation.
 
Stock option award levels will be determined based on market data and will vary among participants based on their positions within the Company and are granted at the Committee’s regularly scheduled meeting. We anticipate that options will be awarded at the AMEX’s closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. As of March 31, 2008, we had not granted any stock options under our Stock Plan.
 
 
 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
The Company provides some executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers.
 
Some executive officers are provided use of company automobiles and all employees can participate in the plans and programs described above.
 
Each employee of the Company is entitled to term life insurance, premiums for which are paid by the Company. In addition, each employee is entitled to receive certain medical and dental benefits and part of the cost is funded by the employee.
 
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.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 10, 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 8,570,107 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 29, 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 March 31, 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.

Audit Committee Approval 
 
Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors
 
Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence,  the audit committee of our board of directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, our board of directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.
 
Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the following four categories of services to our audit committee for approval.
 
1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.
 
2. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.
 
3. Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.
 
Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. 
 
Prior to engagement, our audit committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and our audit committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, our audit committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.
 
Our audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to our board of directors at its next scheduled meeting.
