India Globalization Capital, Inc.
 
Our Business

Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)   
                                                                                                                              
IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses with operations primarily in India through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, we completed an initial public offering.  On February 19, 2007, we incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.  On March 7, 2008, we consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% of the equity of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL). The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M.

Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL acquired by IGC were purchased directly from the companies. IGC purchased a portion of the shares from the existing owners of the companies.  The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL.
 
In connection with the acquisitions, IGC borrowed approximately $17 million from Sricon.   If the loan is not repaid, the result could be a reduction in IGC’s ownership percentage of Sricon.
 
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 our other 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, TBL, IGC-MPL, IGC-LPL and IGC-IMT).

Background of  Indian Subsidiaries
 
Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) was incorporated as a private limited company on March 3, 1997 in Nagpur, India.  Sricon is an engineering and construction company that is engaged in three business areas: 1) civil construction of highways and other heavy construction, 2) mining and quarrying and 3) the construction and maintenance of high temperature cement and steel plants.  Sricon's present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.  
 
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.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus in evaluating us and our common stock and other securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock and other securities  also could be adversely affected. We make various statements in this section, which constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Forward-Looking Statements.”  We refer to Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited as Sricon and Techni Bharathi Limited as TBL.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY AND DOING BUSINESS IN INDIA
 
 Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency, or an increase in interest rates in India, could have a negative impact on our ability to borrow in India.
 
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 affecting 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.
 
Our construction business is 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, the slow down in the Indian economy has caused the government to slow down the pace of infrastructure building, which if unchanged 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 other than limited access to credit.
 
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.
 
4

 
 
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war within India or 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 states 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, Pakistan and other Asian countries. These events could adversely influence the Indian economy and, as a result, negatively affect our business.
 
While we may have insurance to cover some of these risks and can file claims against the contracting agencies, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to collect in a timely manner.  Further, India has seen an increase in politically motivated insurgencies and a fairly active communist following.  Any uprising from these groups can delay our roadwork and disrupt our business.  Terrorist attacks, insurgencies or the threat of violence could slow down road building activity and acquisition of materials which could adversely affect our business.
 
Exchange controls that exist in India may limit our ability to utilize our cash flow effectively.
 
We are subject to India’s rules and regulations on currency conversion. In India, the Foreign Exchange Management Act or FEMA, regulates the conversion of the Indian rupee into foreign currencies.  However, comprehensive amendments have been made to FEMA to support the economic liberalization.  Companies are now permitted to operate in India without any special restrictions, effectively placing them on par with wholly Indian owned companies. In addition, foreign exchange controls have been substantially relaxed. Notwithstanding these changes, the Indian foreign exchange market is not yet fully developed and we cannot assure that the Indian authorities will not revert back to regulating companies and imposing new restrictions on the convertibility of the Indian rupee. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use our cash flow for the distribution of dividends to our stockholders or to fund operations we may have outside of India.
 
Changes in the exchange rate of the Indian rupee may negatively impact our revenues and expenses.
 
Our operations are primarily located in India and we receive payment in Indian rupees.  As the results of operations are reported in US dollars, to the extent that there is a decrease in the exchange rate of Indian rupees into US dollars, such a decrease could have a material impact on our operating results or financial condition.
 
Returns on investment in Indian companies may be decreased by withholding and other taxes.
 
Our investments in India will incur tax risk unique to investment in India and in developing economies in general. Income that might otherwise not be subject to withholding of local income tax under normal international conventions may be subject to withholding of Indian income tax.  Under treaties with India and under local Indian income tax law, income is generally sourced in India and subject to Indian tax if paid from India. This is true whether or not the services or the earning of the income would normally be considered as from sources outside India in other contexts. Additionally, proof of payment of withholding taxes may be required as part of the remittance procedure. Any withholding taxes paid by us on income from our investments in India may or may not be creditable on our income tax returns.
 
We intend to avail ourselves of income tax treaties with India and minimize any Indian withholding tax or local taxes.  However, there is no assurance that the Indian tax authorities will always recognize such treaties and its applications. We have also created a foreign subsidiary in Mauritius, in order to limit the potential tax exposure.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS
 
The cost of obtaining bank financing may reduce our income.
 
TBL and, to a lesser extent, Sricon, have restructured some of their 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 the construction business and could decrease our margins.   IGC expects to provide collateral support for two to three years, by which time we expect the credit worthiness of the construction business to increase to adequate levels.  Further, collateral that has been provided to the banks consists mostly of real estate, which has fallen in value, thus reducing our ability to borrow. 
 
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.
 
Some of our business is dependent on contracts awarded by the Government and its agencies.
 
The construction business is dependent on central and state budget allocations to the infrastructure sector. We derive the bulk of our construction 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.
 
Compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could adversely impact our competitive position. Failure to comply could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States public companies from engaging in bribery of or other prohibited payments to foreign officials to obtain or retain business. While we will take precautions to educate the employees of our subsidiaries of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, there can be no assurance that we or the employees or agents of our subsidiaries will not engage in such conduct, for which we might be held responsible. We could suffer penalties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may issue shares of our capital stock, including through convertible debt securities, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership.      
 
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. There are currently approximately 47,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of our outstanding warrants and the purchase option granted to Ferris, Baker Watts, Inc. and shares authorized for issuance under our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, including outstanding options issued there under) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. We have recently issued 1,060,000 shares of our common stock in connection with a private placement of debt securities and an exchange of previously issued debt securities for new debt securities and the common stock and may engage in similar private placements in the future.  The issuance of additional shares of our common stock including upon conversion of any debt securities:
 
·  
may significantly reduce the equity interest of our existing shareholders; and
 
·  
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock, warrants or units.
 
6

 
 
We may issue notes or other debt securities, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition.
 
During each of 2008 and 2009, we sold debt securities in the principal amount of $2,000,000 in a private placement  and may engage in similar private placements in the future. The incurrence of this debt:
 
·  
may lead to default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues  are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;
 
·  
may cause an acceleration of our obligations to repay the debt even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach the covenants contained in the terms of the debt documents;
 
·  
may create an obligation to immediately repay all principal and accrued interest, if any, upon demand to the extent any debt securities are payable on demand; and
 
·  
may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, to the extent any debt securities contain covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding, or to the extent our existing leverage discourages other potential investors.
 
Additional capital may be costly or difficult to obtain.
 
Additional capital, whether through the offering of equity or debt securities, may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, especially in light of the recent downturn in the economy and dislocations in the credit and capital markets. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.  We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
 
If we are unable to repay the loan from Sricon, they may have difficulty competing for future large contracts.
 
We believe that Sricon will ultimately require the amounts they loaned us in order to expand their operations and the scope of contracts on which they can bid.  If we are unable to repay the loan made to us by Sricon, they may be required to find alternative sources of funding for such expansion, and the costs and timing of obtaining such funding may make it more difficult for these companies to expand the scope of contracts for which they can compete.  To the extent Sricon obtains additional funding, or we are unable to repay the loan, it may result in the issuance of additional shares of capital stock by Sricon to other parties or our tender to Sricon of a portion of the shares we acquired from them, resulting in the dilution of our interest in Sricon with a corresponding write down of our assets.
 
Leveled penalties for time overruns may adversely affect 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.
 
7

 
 
Our business model relies heavily on our management team and any unexpected loss of key officers may adversely affect our operations
 
The continued success of our business is largely dependent on the continued services of key employees.  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.    Our strategy, management, financial and operational oversight are heavily dependent on our Founder and CEO. The loss of our CEO could have a significant adverse effect on our business.  In order to mitigate these risk factors we are recruiting professional managers and expanding the executive ranks as well as pursuing succession-planning initiatives, but this will take time and 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  construction work resulting in an overall slow down of the supply of materials as well as construction activity.  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 future operating results and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected if we are required to write down the carrying value of goodwill associated with any of our businesses in the future.
 
We review our goodwill balance for impairment on at least an annual basis through the application of a fair value-based test. Our estimate of fair value is based primarily on projected future results and cash flows and other assumptions. In addition, we review long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the fourth quarter of our 2009 fiscal year, we performed our annual test for goodwill impairment and determined that our goodwill was not impaired. In the future, if our projected discounted cash flows associated with our businesses do not exceed the carrying value of their net assets, we may be required to record write downs of the carrying value of goodwill or other long-lived assets associated with any of our businesses and our operating results and the market price of our common stock may be materially adversely affected.
 
As of September 30, 2009 our goodwill balance was $17.5 million respectively. We perform an annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The 2008-2009 recession has impacted our financial results and has reduced near-term purchases from certain of our key customers. We may determine that our expectations of future financial results and cash flows from one or more of our businesses has decreased or a decrease in stock valuation may occur, which could result in a review of our goodwill associated with these businesses. Since a large portion of the value of our intangibles has been ascribed to projected revenues from certain key customers, a change in our expectation of future cash from one or more of these customers could indicate potential impairment to the carrying value of our assets.

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.
 
A down turn in the economy could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
 
A generally adverse financial global economy or global recession could adversely affect commodity prices and infrastructure build out in Asia which in turn could adversely affect our future performance and result in a drop in our stock price.
 
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 us to evacuate personnel or curtail services and may result in damage to a portion of our fleet of equipment or to our facilities, resulting in the suspension of operations, and may further prevent us 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 our operations during summer months and during monsoon season, which restrict our ability to carry on construction and mining activities and fully utilize our resources.
 
Depending on the onset of the monsoons, revenue recorded in the first half of our fiscal year, particularly between June through September, is traditionally lower than revenue recorded during the second half of our fiscal year.  During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operating expenses as well as build material reserves 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.
 
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 NYSE Amex, 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 completed the testing of internal controls in all our subsidiaries except Sricon.  We expect to carry out the evaluations and  install systems and processes as required. However, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of evaluation testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations.  Further, it is difficult to hire personnel in India that are familiar with USGAAP.  However, we have hired several reputed consultants to help review internal reporting and disclosures as well as train our India based staff in the rigors of SEC reporting and USGAAP.  We currently, do not foresee a problem other than the time required to adequately train and streamline the processes.

The audit report provided by Yoganandh and Ram  will require a review by a US firm.
 
While our audit firm, Yoganandh & Ram, is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”), the SEC requires that the audits conducted by Yoganandh & Ram, be reviewed by another PCAOB registered firm.  If the review identifies changes to an audit, we will be required to amend our annual report as filed on Form 10-K incorporating the audited financial statements.  The requirement of the review is expected to increase our legal, accounting and other expenses.  
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
 
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.
 
Although we are required to use our best efforts to have an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares underlying the public warrants at the time that our warrant holders exercise their public warrants, we cannot guarantee that a registration statement will be effective, in which case our warrant holders may not be able to exercise our public warrants and such warrants may expire worthless.
 
Holders of our public warrants will be able to exercise the warrants only if a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is then effective. Although we have undertaken in the warrant agreement, and therefore have a contractual obligation, to use our best efforts to maintain a current registration statement covering the shares underlying the public warrants to the extent required by federal securities laws, and we intend to comply with such undertaking, with such a registration statement currently effective, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. In no event shall we be liable for, or any registered holder of any warrant be entitled to receive, (a) physical settlement in securities unless the conditions and requirements set forth in the warrant agreement have been satisfied or (b) any net-cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in securities. The value of the public warrants may be greatly reduced if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not kept current. Such warrants may expire worthless.
 
Because the warrants sold in the private placements were originally issued pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under the federal securities laws, the holders of the warrants sold in the private placement will be able to exercise their warrants even if, at the time of exercise, a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not current. As a result, the holders of the warrants purchased in the private placements will not have any restrictions with respect to the exercise of their warrants. As described above, the holders of the public warrants will not be able to exercise them unless we have a current registration statement covering the shares issuable upon their exercise.
 
If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
 
The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about our business and us. We do not control these analysts. The price of our stock could decline if one or more equity analysts downgrade our stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about our business or us.
 
We do not currently intend to pay dividends, which may limit the return on your investment in us.
 
We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to ________ additional shares at the offering price less the underwriting discounts.  The option may be exercised only to cover any over-allotments of common stock.
 
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock at the offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.  After the offering, _____________ may change the offering price and concession and discount to broker/dealers.

We have agreed that during the period beginning from the date hereof and continuing to and including the date __ days after the date of the prospectus supplement, we will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company which are substantially similar to our common stock (other than for shares or stock options issued under employee stock plans, such plans as are currently in existence and disclosed in the Prospectus), without the prior written consent of  _____________ (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) other than the sale of the shares to be sold by the Company hereunder. During the period of __ days after the date of the prospectus supplement, the Company will not file with the Commission or cause to become effective any registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 filed to register securities issued or to be issued under employee stock option plans, each such plan as disclosed in the Prospectus) or prospectus relating to any securities of the Company which are substantially similar to our common stock without the prior written consent of   _____________
 
Our executive officer and directors have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of   _____________  for a period __ days after the date of this prospectus supplement, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to a transfer of shares solely to the extent necessary to satisfy federal income tax obligations with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued prior to the date of this offering.
 
13

 
 
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in that respect.
 
In connection with the offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions ad penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
 
 
·                  Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
 
 
 
·                  Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position.  The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position.  In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option.  In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option.  The underwriters may close out any covered short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.
 
 
 
·                  Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.  In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.  If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market.  A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
 
 
 
·                  Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
 
 
 
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock.  As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist on the open market.  These transactions may be affected on the NYSE Amex or otherwise and if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
 
A prospectus supplement and prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions as of the date of this filing. The cautionary statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause differences include those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section as well as discussed elsewhere herein.
 
Overview
 
In response to India’s rapidly expanding economy, our primary focus is to execute infrastructure projects through our subsidiaries such as constructing interstate highways, rural roads, mining and quarrying, and construction of high temperature cement and steel plants.
 
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, the consolidated financial statements  of our business for periods prior to March 7, 2008 (acquisition  date) do not include information on Sricon and TBL.  We have included the financial statements of  both Sricon and TBL prior to March 7, 2008 as separate disclosures.
 
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.
 
On February 19, 2009 IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Mining and Trading, Limited based in Chennai India.  On July 4, 2009 IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Materials, Private Limited, and 100% of IGC Logistics, Private Limited.  Both these companies are based in Nagpur, India. Indian IGC Materials, Private Limited (IGC-MPL) and  IGC Logistics, Private Limited (IGC-LPL), is also involved in the building of rock quarries, the export of iron ore and the transport of materials.  
 
 The financial statements provided here and going forward are the consolidated statements of IGC, which includes all the aforementioned subsidiaries.

Company Overview
 
We are a construction and materials company engaged in the following core business areas: 1) civil construction of roads and highways, 2) the construction and maintenance of high temperature cement and steel plants, 3) operations and supply of rock aggregate and 4) the export of iron ore to China.   Our present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.   Including our subsidiaries, we have approximately 400 employees and contractors.  Our larger construction subsidiary, Sricon, has the capacity and prior experience to bid on contracts priced at a maximum of about $116 million.  We are focused on winning construction contracts, building out rock aggregate quarries and setting up relations and export hubs for the export of iron ore to China.  
 
 The Indian government has articulated plans to modernize the Indian Infrastructure.  It expects to spend around $22 billion in the next 12 months on roads and highways. We believe that these initiatives will continue to be favorable to our business.  Our model is three fold and tightly integrated approach: 1) we bid on construction and engineering contracts which provide us with a backlog which translates into greater revenues and earnings, 2) we are in the process of building rock quarries and selling rock aggregate to the infrastructure industry and 3) we export iron ore to China.  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. 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are regularly monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. These estimates include, among others, our revenue recognition policies related to the proportional performance and percentage of completion methodologies of revenue recognition of contracts and assessing our goodwill for impairment annually. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results will differ and may differ materially from the estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

The following summaries should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual audited statements and quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Report. While all accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed as critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. Our management believes the policies that fall within this category are the policies on revenue recognition, accounting for stock-based compensation, goodwill and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition
 
The majority of the revenue recognized for three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as accordingly:

Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
 
21

 
 
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.
 
Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:
 
 
a)
 
Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.
     
 
 
b)
     
Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable
 
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
 
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
 
Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.
 
Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The Indian rupee is the functional currency for the Indian Subsidiaries. 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 the 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.
 
The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollars are as follows:

Employee Stock Options or Share Based Payments
 
We grant options to purchase our common stock and award restricted stock to our employees and directors under our equity incentive plans. The benefits provided under these plans are share-based payments subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, Share-Based Payments. Effective April 1, 2009, we use the fair value method to apply the provisions of FAS 123R with the modified prospective application, which provides for certain changes to the method for valuing share-based compensation. Share-based compensation expense recognized under FAS 123R for the 6 month period ended September 30, 2009 was $130,407. At September 30, 2009, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested awards granted prior to that date was zero.  Stock options vest immediately.
 
As a result of FAS 123R, we estimate the value of share-based awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends.
 
If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of FAS 123R during future periods, the compensation expense that we record under FAS 123R may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. Therefore, we believe it is important for investors to be aware of the high degree of subjectivity involved when using option-pricing models to estimate share-based compensation under FAS 123R. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions, are fully transferable and do not cause dilution. Because our share-based payments have characteristics significantly different from those of freely traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair values, in our opinion, existing valuation models, including the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our share-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our share-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the intrinsic values realized upon the exercise, expiration, cancellation, or forfeiture of those share-based payments in the future. Certain share-based payments, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and expensed in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and expensed in our financial statements. There currently is neither a market-based mechanism nor other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor a way to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined in accordance with FAS 123R and SAB 107 using a qualified option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. Estimates of share-based compensation expenses are significant to our financial statements, but these expenses are based on the aforementioned option valuation model and will never result in the payment of cash by us.
 
The guidance in FAS 123R and SAB 107 is still relatively new, and best practices are not well established. The application of these principles may be subject to further interpretation and refinement over time. There are significant differences among valuation models, and there is a possibility that we will adopt different valuation models in the future. This may result in a lack of consistency in future periods and materially affect the fair value estimate of share-based payments. It may also result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods, and assumptions.
 
Theoretical valuation models and market-based methods are evolving and may result in lower or higher fair value estimates for share-based compensation. The timing, readiness, adoption, general acceptance, reliability, and testing of these methods is uncertain. Sophisticated mathematical models may require voluminous historical information, modeling expertise, financial analyses, correlation analyses, integrated software and databases, consulting fees, customization, and testing for adequacy of internal controls.
 
For purposes of estimating the fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2009 using the Black-Scholes model, we used the historical volatility of our stock for the expected volatility assumption input to the Black-Scholes model, consistent with the guidance in FAS 123R and SAB 107. The risk-free interest rate is based on the risk-free zero-coupon rate for a period consistent with the expected option term at the time of grant. We do not currently pay nor do we anticipate paying dividends, but we are required to assume a dividend yield as an input to the Black-Scholes model. As such, we use a zero dividend rate. The expected option term is estimated using both historical term measures and projected termination estimates.
 
23

 
 
Goodwill
 
We account for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually and written down and charged to operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles exceeds its fair value. An interim goodwill impairment test would be performed if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For purposes of performing the goodwill impairment test, we concluded there is one reporting unit. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, we completed the required annual test, which indicated there was no impairment.
 
Accounting for Income Taxes
 
In connection with preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves the assessment of our net operating loss carry forwards and credits, as well as estimating the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as reserves and accrued  liabilities, for tax and accounting purposes. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Based on historical results, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the value of our deferred tax assets and therefore have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations (IGC)

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
 
Revenue - Total revenue was $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  Due to increased liquidity requirements in maintaining a high level of growth, we curtailed the number of contracts we directly performed  by sub-contracting some and cancelling others.
 
Operating Income (loss) - In the three month period ending September 30, 2009, operating loss was $ 224 thousand compared to operating income of $1.2 million for the three month period ending September 30, 2008.  

Total Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses - Our total cost of revenue and operating expenses principally consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, startup costs, and general and administrative expense. In the three month period ending September 30, 2009, total cost of revenue and operating expenses decreased by $3.7 million, compared to the three month period ending September 30, 2008.  This was caused by decreasing business volume and associated costs.
 
24

 

 
Cost of Revenue - Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation and related fringe benefits for project-related personnel, department management and all other dedicated project related costs and indirect costs. Cost of Revenue decreased by $3.2 million, compared to the three month period ending September 30, 2008.  The decrease was caused by declining business volume and associated costs.

Selling, General and Administrative - Consists primarily of employee-related expenses, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We expect that in the future, selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as we add personnel and incur additional professional fees and insurance costs related to being a publicly held company. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $666 thousand for the three month period ending September 30, 2009 compared to $1.1 million for the three month period ending September 30, 2008. 

Net Income (loss) – Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $580 thousand compared to net income of $72 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2008

Revenue - Total revenue was $8.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $28.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  Due to increased liquidity requirements in maintaining a high level of growth, we curtailed the number of contracts we directly performed  by sub-contracting some and cancelling others.
 
Operating Income (loss) - In the six month period ending September 30, 2009, operating loss was $232 thousand, compared to operating income of $4.8 million for the six month period ending September 30, 2008.  
 
Total Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses - Our total cost of revenue and operating expenses principally consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, startup costs, and general and administrative expense. In the six month period ending September 30, 2009, total cost of revenue and operating expenses decreased by $15.3 million, compared to the six month period ending September 30, 2008.  This was caused by decreasing business volume and associated costs.
 
Cost of Revenue - Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation and related fringe benefits for project-related personnel, department management and all other dedicated project related costs and indirect costs. Cost of Revenue decreased by $14.5 million, compared to the six month period ending September 30, 2008.  The decrease was caused by declining business volume and associated costs.

Selling, General and Administrative - Consists primarily of employee-related expenses, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We expect that in the future, selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as we add personnel and incur additional professional fees and insurance costs related to being a publicly held company. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.4 million for the six month period ending September 30, 2009 compared to $2.1 million for the six month period ending September 30, 2008. Additional expenses for the six month period ending September 30, 2009 are $130,407 in non-cash compensation expenses resulting from SFAS 123(R) and loan discount amortization expense of a long-tem loan in the amount of $241,338.

Net Interest Income (Expense) – Net interest expense decreased by $45.8 thousand compared to the six month period ending September 30, 2008.  As discussed in the prior section, we booked a non-cash charge of $241,338 for loan amortization expense.

Net Income (loss) – Net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.1 million compared to net income of $1.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
This liquidity and capital resources discussion compares the consolidated company results for six months period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  
 
Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations is our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the first six months of 2009, cash used for operating activities was $121 thousand compared to cash used for operating activities of $7.8 million during the first six months of 2008. The uses of cash in the first six months of 2009 relate primarily to the payment of general operating expenses of our subsidiary companies.  The large change is due to less business volume.
 
During the first six months of 2009, investing activities from continuing operations used $517 thousand of cash as compared to $657 thousand used during the comparable period in 2008.
 
Financing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of transactions related to our debt and equity structure. In the first six months of 2009 there was financing cash provided of approximately $855 thousand, compared to cash provided of approximately $2.9 million for the first six months of 2008.  The increase of cash from financing was due to the issuance of 1,599,000 shares of stock.
 
Our future liquidity needs will depend on, among other factors, stability of construction costs, interest rates, and a continued increase in infrastructure contracts in India. We believe that our current cash balances and anticipated operating cash flow, will be sufficient to fund our normal operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may seek to secure additional capital to fund further growth of our business, or the repayment of debt, in the near term.
 
Pro Forma and Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Information
 
In prior annual filings, we compared annual consolidated results of operations and cash flows to the preceding year.   Since we acquired both TBL and Sricon at the close of year ending March 31, 2008, we believe a comparison of the December 31, 2009 consolidated results of operations and cash flows to March 31, 2008 is not an adequate comparison.  Only the operating results for March 8, 2008 to March 31, 2008 are included in our 2008 consolidated results of operations and cash flows.  To reflect a better comparison of operating results, we are presenting in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section, the Pro Forma results of operations for the Company  as if the acquisitions occurred on Apri11, 2007 and April 1, 2008, respectively.  We are basing our Pro Forma results of operations from (1) the audited financial statements of Sricon for the period ended March 7, 2008, (2) the unaudited financial statements of Sricon for the period March 8, 2008 to March 31, 2008, (3) the audited financial statements of TBL for the period ended March 7, 2008, (4) the unaudited financial statements of TBL for the period March 8, 2008 to March 31, 2008, and (5) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
We believe that the presented Pro Forma financial statements and analysis is a more meaningful comparison of our operating results.
 
The following tables represent our Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements.

 Pro Forma Adjustments
 
The Consolidated Pro Forma Statement of Operations contains US GAAP to Pro Forma adjustments consisting of the elimination of interest income held in trust and provision for income taxes.  Had the merger occurred during April 1, 2007, interest income in the amount of $2,192,402 would not have been earned because funds as reported in US GAAP results would have not been held in trust.  Therefore, we eliminate the applicable interest earned from the Pro Forma statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2008.  Accordingly, the provision for income taxes is reduced by $16,955.

Year Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
 
The following discussion relates to IGC for the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008:
 
Revenues
 
Total pro forma revenue increased 17.1% from $35.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $30.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2008.  Due to increased liquidity requirements in maintaining a high level of growth, we have curtailed the number of contracts we are working on by sub-contracting some and cancelling others.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Costs of revenue consists primarily of compensation and related fringe benefits for project-related personnel, department management and all other dedicated project related costs and indirect costs. Cost of revenue increased by 4.7 million or 21.0%, compared to the year ended March 31, 2008.  The increase was due to the increase of construction material.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Consist primarily of employee-related expenses, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2 million or 67.5% for the year ended March 31, 2009, compared to the year ended March 31, 2008.  The increase in SG&A stem partly from overheads related to US compliance, USGAAP filings with the SEC, and legal costs associated with the warrant tender offer and general fund raising activity.
 
Net Interest Income (Expense) – Net interest expense increased by $484 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2009 compared to the year ended March 31, 2008.  The main reason is that the interest income from money in trust is not included in the pro forma statements.
 
Net Income (loss)
 
Net loss for the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 was $522 thousand and $4.4 million, respectively.  The 2008 net loss included compensation expense, legal, interest expense, formation, travel, other and start-up costs net of interest income related to the cash held in our trust account.  The 2009 loss includes approximately $1.5 million of one time expenses related to fund raising and non cash expenses related to warrants, as well as approximately $300,000 of losses due to a strengthening US dollar against the Indian Rupee.
 
Impairment of Goodwill
 
As a result of our annual impairment tests which occurred during the fourth quarter, we have not recorded an impairment adjustment to goodwill.  Factors that influence the analysis include, contracts, potential contracts, ability to grow the quarry and ore business, among others.   While there is an overall liquidity constraint and we require more cash to grow, the market potential for the infrastructure business in India remains unabated.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations is our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the first three months of 2009, cash used for operating activities was $470 thousand compared to cash used for operating activities of $5.5 million during the first three months of 2008. The uses of cash in the first three months of 2009 relates primarily to the payment of general operating expenses of our subsidiary companies.  The large change is due to less business volume.
 
During the first three months of 2009, investing activities from continuing operations used $242 thousand of cash as compared to $5.3 million used during the comparable period in 2008.
 
Financing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of transactions related to our debt and equity structure. In the first three months of 2009 there was financing cash used of approximately $332 thousand, compared to cash provided of approximately $4.1 million for the first three months of 2008.  The cash provided in 2009 was primarily due to use of bank credit lines.  The cash used in 2008 was primarily due to repayment of long-term notes.
 
Our future liquidity needs will depend on, among other factors, stability of construction costs, interest rates, and a continued increase in infrastructure contracts in India. We believe that our current cash balances and anticipated operating cash flow, will be sufficient to fund our normal operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may seek to secure additional capital to fund further growth of our business, or the repayment of debt, in the near term.
 
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.  
 
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.    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.    We do not currently hedge commodity prices on capital markets.
 
29

 
 
Labor Risk
 
The building boom in India and the Middle East (India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh export labor to the Middle East) had created pressure on the availability of skilled labor like welders, equipment operators, etc.  While this has recently changed with the shortage of financial liquidity and falling oil prices, we expect a construction boom and although manageable, some regional shortage of skilled labor.
 
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 an 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.  Essentially, a stronger USD decreases our reported earnings and a weakening USD increases our reported earnings.
 
Accounting Developments and their impact
 
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.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment.  SFAS No 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. 
 
30

 
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS No. 157). FAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The Company’s adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial statements. Relative to FAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) FAS 157-1, FAS 157-2, and FAS 157-3. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13,“Accounting for Leases” (SFAS 13), and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157 as it relates to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not active for those financial assets. This FSP is effective immediately and includes those periods for which financial statements have not been issued. We currently do not have any financial assets that are valued using inactive markets, and as such are not impacted by the issuance of this FSP.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS No. 159). FAS No. 159 provides companies with a choice to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The Company’s adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

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.
 
31

 
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”).  SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  This statement is effective beginning January 1, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.  
 
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments.  Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures.  SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  SFA 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411,  The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.   The Company does not believe SFAS 162 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance and reinsurance contracts, as described in the Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60.  Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables).  This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS 163 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years; disclosure requirements in paragraphs 30(g) and 31 are effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after May 23, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
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.

BUSINESS
 
Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)
 
IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses with operations primarily in India through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, we completed an initial public offering.  On February 19, 2007, we incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.  On March 7, 2008, we consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% of the equity of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL). The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M. Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL acquired by IGC were purchased directly from the companies. IGC purchased a portion of the shares from the existing owners of the companies.  The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL.
 
The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Under this method of accounting, for accounting and financial purposes, IGC-M, Limited was treated as the acquiring entity and Sricon and TBL as the acquired entities.
 
 On February 19, 2009 IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Mining and Trading, Limited (IGC-IMT based in Chennai, India).  IGC-IMT was formed on December 16, 2008 as a privately held start-up company engaged in the business of mining and trading.  Its current activity is to operate a shipping hub and export iron ore to China.  On July 4, 2009, IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Materials, Private Limited (IGC-MPL based in Nagpur, India), which will conduct IGC’s quarrying business, and 100% of IGC Logistics, Private Limited (IGC-LPL based in Nagpur, India), which will be involved in the transport and delivery of ore, cement, aggregate and other material.   Each of IGC-IMT, IGC-MPL and IGC-LPL were formed by third parties at the behest of IGC-M to facilitate the creation of the subsidiaries, and the purchase price paid for each of IGC-IMT. IGC-MPL and IGC-LPL was equal to the expenses incurred in incorporating the respective entities with no premium paid.  No officer or director of IGC had a financial interest in the subsidiaries at the time of their acquisition by IGC-M.   India Globalization Capital, Inc. (the Registrant, the Company, or we) and its subsidiaries are significantly engaged in one segment, infrastructure construction.
 
IGC’s organizational structure is as follows:
 
 

 
 
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, TBL, IGC-IMT, IGC-MPL and IGC-LPL).

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: 1) civil construction of highways and other heavy construction, 2) mining and quarrying and 3) the construction and maintenance of high temperature cement and steel plants.  Sricon’s present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.   It has the prior experience to bid on contracts that are priced at a maximum of about $116 million.   As indicated in previous press releases and quarterly reports, in October 2008 lack of available credit drove Sricon to curtail much of its construction activity, as it was unable to provide Bank Guarantees for construction contracts, and to focus on long term recurring contracts such as maintenance of high temperature cement factories.  This led to a sharp decline in overall revenue.  Sricon took several steps to curtail its expenses including lay offs.  Sricon also turned its attention to pursuing claims against the contracting agencies for delays it had suffered on some of its contracts.  Due to arbitration requirements in our contract agreements, we expect our claims to be resolved in arbitration. Sricon claims losses from having to maintain equipment and personnel during the delay period, as well as opportunity costs.  There can be no assurance that Sricon will be successful in its claims.  While the cost associated with delays is accounted in the relevant period, any revenue from claims is not accounted until and unless they are paid.
 
 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.  The overall lack of liquidity led TBL to curtail its construction contracts and cut its costs through layoffs.  TBL is re-focused on smaller construction contracts and the settlement of claims.
 
IGC-Mauritius (IGC-M), through its wholly owned Indian subsidiaries (IGC India Mining and Trading (IGC-IMT),  IGC Materials, Private Limited (IGC-MPL) and  IGC Logistics, Private Limited (IGC-LPL), is also involved in the building of rock quarries, the export of iron ore and the transport of materials.  IGC-M operates a shipping hub in the Krishnapatnam port on the west coast of India and one at Goa on the east coast of India.   We aggregate ore from smaller mines before shipping to China.  We are also engaged in the production of rock aggregate and the development of rock quarries.  Rock aggregate is used in the construction of roads, railways, dams, and other infrastructure development.  We are in the process of developing several quarries through partnerships with landowners. Iron ore is rock and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted.  The primary form used in industry today is hematite and is often the principle raw material used to make “pig iron”, a material critical to the production of industrial steel.
 
 Industry Overview  
 
The Indian GDP surpassed $1 Trillion in fiscal 2007.  According to the World Bank, only nine economies at the close of 2005 generated more than $1 Trillion in GDP.  According to the CIA World Fact Book, India’s growth rates have been ranging from 6.2% to 9.6% since 2003.  The GDP growth rate for fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 was 7.4% (estimated).  The Indian stock markets experienced significant growth with the SENSEX peaking at 21,000 (January 8, 2008).   The current global financial crisis created a liquidity crunch starting in October 2008, which continues.

India’s GDP growth for fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 is estimated to be lower than 2008’s growth rate.  The slowing of the GDP was caused by the global financial crisis. However, it does indicate that India has withstood the global downturn better than many nations. The factors contributing to maintaining the relatively high growth included growth 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.
 
To sustain India’s fast growing economy, the share of infrastructure investment in India is expected to increase to 9 per cent of GDP by 2014, which is an increase from 5 per cent in 2006-07.  This forecast is based on The Indian Planning Commission’s statement in its annual publication that for the Eleventh Plan period (2007-12), a large investment of approximately $494 Billion is required for Infrastructure build out and modernization.  This industry is one of the largest employers 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%.  
  
This ambitious infrastructure development mandate by the Indian Government will require 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 support 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.  
 
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.  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.
 
35

 

 
Some of the areas where ECB’s are utilized is the National Highway Development Project and the National Maritime Development Program.  In addition, the following represent some of the major infrastructure projects planned for the next five years:
 
1.  
Constructing dedicated freight corridors between Mumbai-Delhi and Ludhiana-Kolkata.
 
2.  
Capacity addition of 485 million MT in Major Ports, 345 million MT in Minor Ports.
 
3.  
Modernization and redevelopment of 21 railway stations.
 
4.  
Developing 16 million hectares through major, medium and minor irrigation works.
 
5.  
Modernization and redevelopment of 4 metro and 35 non-metro airports.
 
6.  
Expansion to six-lanes 6,500 km (4,038 Miles) of Golden Quadrilateral and selected National Highways.
 
7.  
Constructing 228,000 miles of new rural roads, while renewing and upgrading the existing 230,000 miles covering 78,304 rural habitations.
 
Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including among others, dependency on the Indian and Asian economy and government policies, competitively priced raw materials, dependence upon key members of the management team and increased competition from existing and new entrants.

Core Business Competencies

We offer an integrated approach in our customer service delivery based on core competencies that we have demonstrated over the years.  This integrated approach provides us with an advantage over our competitors.
 
Our core business competencies include the following:

Highway and heavy construction:

The Indian government has articulated a plan to build and modernize Indian infrastructure.  The government’s plan, calls for spending over $475 billion over the next five years for the expansion and construction of rural roads, major highways, airports, seaports, freight corridors, railroads and townships.  A significant number of our customers involve highway and heavy construction contracts.

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.  We are in the process of teaming with landowners to build out rock quarries; in addition we have licenses for the installation and production of rock aggregate quarries.   Our mining and trading activity centers on the export of Iron ore to China.   India is the fourth largest producer of ore.  

Construction and maintenance of high temperature plants

We have an expertise in the civil engineering, construction and maintenance of high temperature plants.  This requires specialized skills to build and maintain high temperature chimneys and kilns.  

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.  For the export of iron ore from India, we are developing customers in Asia including China.

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.       
 
Our Growth Strategy and Business Model

Our business model for the construction business is simple.  We bid on construction, over burden removal at mining sites 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 one bid team.    In the next year we will focus on the following: 1) build out between two and five rock quarries, begin production and obtain long term contracts for the sale of rock aggregate, 2) leverage our shipping hub, develop a second shipping hub, obtain long term contracts for the delivery and sale of iron ore, 3) execute and expand recurring contracts for infrastructure build out, 4) aggressively pursue the collection of accounts receivables and delay claims.
 
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 $5 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 would like to be positioned in the $5 million to $50 million contract range, above locally based contractors and below the large firms, creating a distinct technical and financial advantage in this market niche.  Rock aggregate is supplied to the industry through small crushing units, which supply low quality material.  Frequently, high quality aggregate is unavailable, or is transported over large distances.  We fill this gap by providing high quality material in large quantities.  We compete on price, quantity and quality.  Iron ore is produced in India where our core assets are located, and exported to China.  While this is a fairly established business, we compete by aggregating ore from smaller suppliers who do not have access to customers outside India. Further, at our second shipping hub we expect to install a crusher that can grind ore pebbles into dust, again providing a value added service to the smaller mine owners.

Seasonality

The construction industry (road building) 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 monsoon months are slower than the other months because of the rains.  Activity such as engineering, maintenance of high temperature plants, and export of iron ore are less susceptible to the rains.  The reduced paced in construction activity has 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.  During the monsoon season the rock quarries operate to build up and distribute reserves to the various construction sites.

Employees and Consultants

As of September 30, 2009, we employed a work force of approximately 400 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.  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. We are hoping that our efforts will make our companies more attractive.  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.  As of March 31, 2009 our Executive Chairman,  Chief Executive Officer is Ram Mukunda and our Non Executive Chairman is Ranga Krishna.  Our over all Country Head in India is Mr. K. Parthasarathy.  Our Managing Director for Construction is Ravindra Lal Srivastava, our Managing Director for Materials, Mining and Trading is P. M. Shivaraman.   Our Treasurer and Principal Accounting officer is John Selvaraj.  Our General Manager of Accounting based in India is Santhosh Kumar.  We also utilize the services of several consultants who provide USGAAP systems expertise among others.
 
38

 
 
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).    We annually conduct PCAOB (USGAAP) audits for the company.  We acknowledge that this process is at times cumbersome and places significant restraints on our existing staff.  We believe we are still 6 to 12 months away from having processes and adequately trained personal in place to meet the reporting timetables set out by the U.S. reporting requirements.  Until then we expect to file for extensions to meet the reporting timetables.  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.

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 NYSE Amex, 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 NYSE 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 NYSE Amex’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-K 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 NYSE Amex listing standards.  The NYSE Amex 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 NYSE Amex 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 NYSE Amex’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 NYSE 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 NYSE 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 NYSE Amex.  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, 2009, our board of directors held four 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, 2009, 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. In 2009 all board members were awarded stock options or restricted stock pursuant to our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan.   Messers. Prins, Shenoy and Nathani each received options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share that were exercisable at the time of grant and which expire on May 13, 2014, five years from the date of grant.  Mr. Mukunda and Dr. Krishna each received grants of 39,410 shares of common stock which vest on December 31, 2009.

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 is on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated by the board with out notice.  
 
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, 2009 were filed in a timely manner.
 
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.
 
45

 
 
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.
 
Elements of Company’s Compensation Plan
 
The principal components of compensation for the Company’s executive officers are:
 
 
·
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.
 
46

 
 
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 are determined based on market data and vary among participants based on their positions within the Company and are granted at the Committee’s regularly scheduled meeting. As of September 30, 2009, we had granted 78,820 shares of common stock and 1,413,000 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, an entertainment budget and  assistants based in the US and in India to alleviate the extensive overseas travel.  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.
 
47

 
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code restricts deductibility of executive compensation paid to the Company’s chief executive officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers holding office at the end of any year to the extent such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 for any of such officers in any year and does not qualify for an exception under Section 162(m) or related regulations. The Committee’s policy is to qualify its executive compensation for deductibility under applicable tax laws to the extent practicable. In the future, the Committee will continue to evaluate the advisability of qualifying its executive compensation for full deductibility.
 
Compensation for Executive Officers of the Company
 
Prior March 8, 2008, we did not pay any cash compensation to our executive officers or their affiliates except as follows.   As described above in “Directors, Executive Officers And Special Advisors of the Company – Director Compensation”, we pay IGN, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Mukunda, $4,000 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services, an amount which is not intended as compensation for Mr. Mukunda.   On or around November 27, 2006, we engaged SJS Associates, an affiliate of Mr. Selvaraj, which provides the services of Mr. John Selvaraj as our Treasurer.  We have agreed to pay SJS Associates $5,000 per month for these services.  Mr. Selvaraj is the Chief Executive Officer of SJS Associates.  Effective November 1, 2007 the Company and SJS Associates terminated the agreement.  We subsequently entered into a new agreement with SJS Associates on identical terms subsequent to the acquisition of Sricon and TBL. On May 22, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary India Globalization Capital Mauritius  (“IGC-M”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Ram Mukunda, pursuant to which he will receive a salary of $300,000 per year for services to IGC and IGC-M as Chief Executive Officer.   The Employment Agreement was approved in May 2008 and made effective as of March 8, 2008.  For fiscal year 2009, Mr. Mukunda was paid $300,000.

Employment Contracts
 
Ram Mukunda has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since its inception.  The Company, IGC-M and Mr. Mukunda entered into an Employment Agreement on May 22, 2008, which agreement was made effective as of March 8, 2008, the date on which the Company completed its acquisition of Sricon and TBL. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company pays Mr. Mukunda a base salary of $300,000 per year. Mr. Mukunda is also entitled to receive bonuses of at least $225,000 for meeting certain targets for net income (before one time charges including charges for employee options, warrants and other items) for fiscal year 2009   and  $150,000 for meeting targets with respect to obtaining new contracts.  The Agreement further provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may review and update the targets and amounts for the net revenue and contract bonuses on an annual basis.  The Agreement also provides for benefits, including insurance, 20 days of paid vacation, a car (subject to partial reimbursement by Mr. Mukunda of lease payments for the car) and reimbursement of business expenses. The term of the Employment Agreement is five years, after which employment will become at-will. The Employment Agreement is terminable by the Company and IGC-M for death, disability and cause.  In the event of a termination without cause, the Company would be required to pay Mr. Mukunda his full compensation for 18 months or until the term of the Employment Agreement was set to expire, whichever is earlier.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Party Transactions
 
We do not maintain a formal written procedure for the review and approval of transactions with related persons.  It is our policy for the disinterested members of our board to review all related party transactions on a case-by-case basis.  To receive approval, a related-party transaction must have a business purpose for IGC and be on terms that are fair and reasonable to IGC and as favorable to IGC as would be available from non-related entities in comparable transactions.
 
 Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Company, the holders of the majority of these shares issued to our officers and directors prior to our initial public offering are be entitled to make up to two demands that we register these shares. The holders of the majority of these shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the date on which the lock-up period expires. The lock-up period expired on September 8, 2008.  In addition, these stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to such date. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.  We have registered these shares for resale on a registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective on November 12, 2008.
 
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 30, 2009 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 12,898,291 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 30, 2009, 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 November 30, 2009, except as noted in the footnotes to the table, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by (i) all persons known by the Company to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, (ii) each director and director-nominee of the Company, (iii) the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, and (iv) all such executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
 
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001. As of November 30, 2009, 12,898,291 shares of common stock are outstanding, held by 946 record holders and no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.
 
Units
 
Each unit consists of one share of common stock and two warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. Each of the common stock and warrants can be traded separately.
 
Common stock
 
Our stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
 
52

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

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

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

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

Maryland Anti-Takeover Provisions and Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Charter and Bylaws
 
Business Combinations
 
Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, some business combinations, including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in some circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities, are prohibited for a period of time and require an extraordinary vote. These transactions include those between a Maryland corporation and the following persons (a “Specified Person”):
 
       an interested stockholder, which is defined as any person (other than a subsidiary) who beneficially owns 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, or who is an affiliate or an associate of the corporation who, at any time within a two-year period prior to the transaction, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s voting stock or
 
       an affiliate of an interested stockholder.
 
A person is not an interested stockholder if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. The board of directors of a Maryland corporation also may exempt a person from these business combination restrictions prior to the time the person becomes a Specified Person and may provide that its exemption is subject to compliance with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors. Transactions between a corporation and a Specified Person are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which such stockholder becomes a Specified Person. After five years, any business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares other than voting stock held by the Specified Person with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless the corporation’s stockholders receive a minimum price as defined by Maryland law and other conditions under Maryland law are satisfied.
  
53

 
 
A Maryland corporation may elect not to be governed by these provisions by having its board of directors exempt various Specified Persons, by including a provision in its charter expressly electing not to be governed by the applicable provision of Maryland law or by amending its existing charter with the approval of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares other than those held by any Specified Person. Our Charter does not include any provision opting out of these business combination provisions.
 
Control Share Acquisitions
 
The Maryland General Corporation Law also prevents, subject to exceptions, an acquiror who acquires sufficient shares to exercise specified percentages of voting power of a corporation from having any voting rights except to the extent approved by two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter not including shares of stock owned by the acquiring person, any directors who are employees of the corporation and any officers of the corporation. These provisions are referred to as the control share acquisition statute.
 
The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted prior to the acquisition by a provision contained in the corporation’s charter or bylaws. Our Bylaws include a provision exempting IGC from the restrictions of the control share acquisition statute, but this provision could be amended or rescinded either before or after a person acquired control shares. As a result, the control share acquisition statute could discourage offers to acquire IGC stock and could increase the difficulty of completing an offer.
 
Board of Directors
 
The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a Maryland corporation which is subject to the Exchange Act and has at least three outside directors (who are not affiliated with an acquirer of the company) under certain circumstances may elect by resolution of the board of directors or by amendment of its charter or bylaws to be subject to statutory corporate governance provisions that may be inconsistent with the corporation’s charter and bylaws. Under these provisions, a board of directors may divide itself into three separate classes without the vote of stockholders such that only one-third of the directors are elected each year. A board of directors classified in this manner cannot be altered by amendment to the charter of the corporation. Further, the board of directors may, by electing to be covered by the applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding the corporation’s charter or bylaws:
 
       provide that a special meeting of stockholders will be called only at the request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting,
 
         reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors,
 
         provide that a director may be removed only by the vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors and
 
         retain for itself sole authority to fill vacancies created by an increase in the size of the board or the death, removal or resignation of a director.
 
In addition, a director elected to fill a vacancy under these provisions serves for the balance of the unexpired term instead of until the next annual meeting of stockholders. A board of directors may implement all or any of these provisions without amending the charter or bylaws and without stockholder approval. Although a corporation may be prohibited by its charter or by resolution of its board of directors from electing any of the provisions of the statute, we have not adopted such a prohibition. We have adopted a staggered board of directors with 3 separate classes in our charter and given the board the right to fix the number of directors, but we have not prohibited the amendment of these provisions.  The adoption of the staggered board may discourage offers to acquire IGC stock and may increase the difficulty of completing an offer to acquire our stock. If our board chose to implement the statutory provisions, it could further discourage offers to acquire IGC stock and could further increase the difficulty of completing an offer to acquire our stock.
 
54

 
 
Effect of Certain Provisions of our Charter and Bylaws

In addition to the Charter and Bylaws provisions discussed above, certain other provisions of our Bylaws may have the effect of impeding the acquisition of control of IGC by means of a tender offer, proxy fight, open market purchases or otherwise in a transaction not approved by our board of directors. These provisions of Bylaws are intended to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an unsolicited takeover attempt which our board believes is otherwise unfair to our stockholders. These provisions, however, also could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of IGC.

Stockholder Meetings; Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business . Our Bylaws provide that with respect to annual meetings of stockholders, (i) nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and (ii) the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only:
 
         pursuant to IGC’s notice of the meeting,
 
         by or at the direction of our board of directors or
 
         by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws.
  
Special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chief executive officer, the board of directors or the secretary of IGC (upon the written request of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote). At a special meeting of stockholders, the only business that may be conducted is the business specified in IGC’s notice of meeting. With respect to nominations of persons for election to our board of directors, nominations may be made at a special meeting of stockholders only:
 
         pursuant to IGC’s notice of meeting,
 
          by or at the direction of our board of directors or
 
           if our board of directors has determined that directors will be elected at the special meeting, by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws.
 
These procedures may limit the ability of stockholders to bring business before a stockholders meeting, including the nomination of directors and the consideration of any transaction that could result in a change in control and that may result in a premium to our stockholders.

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

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
We have an aggregate of 12,898,291 shares of common stock outstanding.   Of these shares, 9,333,191 shares are either freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or registered for resale. Shares purchased by our affiliates include the 170,000 shares included in the units purchased in a private placement by our officers and directors or their nominees, which were the subject of a lock-up agreement with us and the representative of the underwriters until we completed a business combination. Since we have completed a business combination, the lock-up has terminated with respect to those shares.  All of the remaining 3,560,000 shares are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering. None of those will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 until the one year holding period has elapsed with respect to each purchase and the additional conditions described in “Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies” below are satisfied.
 
55

 
 
Rule 144
 
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale, or at any time during the preceding three months, and who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months, would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:
 
·  
1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which currently equals 128,983 shares; and
·  
the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
     
Sales under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

A person who has not been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least six months, would be entitled under Rule 144 to sell such shares without regard to any manner of sale, notice provisions or volume limitations described above. Any such sales must comply with the public information provision of Rule 144 until our common stock has been held for one year.
 
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
 
Historically, the SEC staff had taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, like us. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in recent amendments by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company.  The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:
 
·  
the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
·  
the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
·  
the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
·  
at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
 
We have satisfied the preceding requirements and as a result, pursuant to Rule 144, our initial shareholders are able to sell their initial shares freely without registration.   

SEC Position on Rule 144 Sales
 
The SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a business combination, would act as an “underwriter” under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Accordingly, the SEC believes that those securities can be resold only through a registered offering and that Rule 144 would not be available for those resale transactions despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
India Globalization Capital, Inc.
 
 
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive loss, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of India Globalization Capital, Incorporated and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INDIA GLOBALIZATION CAPITAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
 
 
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 
The financial statements for March 31, 2009 and 2008 are audited.  The statements ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 are consolidated with all of our subsidiaries. Sricon and TBL were acquired on March 8, 2008.   IGC Mining and Trading, Limited (IGC-IMT) was formed beneficially by IGC India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M) on December 16, 2008.  All our companies 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, 2009 and the results of its operation and cash flows for the three years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
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, 2008.  The March 31, 2008 and 2009 balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and the statements of stockholders’ equity 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. IGC-IMT has been contracted to operate a shipping hub and export iron ore to China.
 
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 waived their rights to conversion and receipt of the distribution on liquidation in the event the Company did 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 K, 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 K, 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.
 
Minority interest in subsidiaries consists of equity securities issued by a subsidiary of the Company. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of the issuance of these securities, and the Company owned a majority of the voting equity of the subsidiary both before and after the transactions. The Company reflects the impact of the equity securities issuances in its investment in subsidiary and additional paid-in-capital accounts for the dilution or anti-dilution of its ownership interest in the subsidiary.
 
 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.
 
Revenue recognition:
 
Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
 
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.
 
F-8

 
 
Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:
 
 
 
a)
Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.
 
 
 
b)
Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable
 
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
 
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
 
Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.
 
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 years ending March 31, 2008 and 2009, 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.
 
 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.
 
Restricted cash:
 
Restricted cash consists of deposits pledged with various government authorities and deposits restricted as to usage under lien to banks for guarantees and letters of credit given by the Company. The restricted cash is primarily invested in time deposits with banks.
 
Accounts receivable:
 
Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount. Account balances are written off when the company believes that the receivables will not be recovered. The company’s bad debts are included in selling and general administrative expenses. The company did not recognize any bad debts during the year ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

Inventories:
 
Inventories primarily comprise finished goods, raw materials, work in progress, stock at customer site, stock in transit, components and accessories, stores and spares, scrap, residue and real estate. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.
 
The Cost of various categories of inventories is determined on the following basis:
 
Raw Material are valued at weighted average of landed cost (Purchase price, Freight inward and transit insurance charges), Work in progress is valued as confirmed, valued & certified by the technicians & site engineers and Finished Goods at material cost plus appropriate share of labor cost and production overhead. Components and accessories, stores erection, materials, spares and loose tools are valued on a First-in-First out basis. Real Estate is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Accounts Receivable – Long Term:
 
Known in India as Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT). It is money due to the company by the private or public sector to finance, design, construct, and operate a facility stated in a concession contract over an extended period of time.
 
Investments:
 
Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs. Investments generally comprises of fixed deposits with banks.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment:
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of computers, construction, scrap processing and other equipments, buildings and other assets are provided based on the Straight-line method over useful life of the assets.
 
The value of plant and equipment that are capitalized include the acquisition price and other direct attributable expenses.
 
The estimated useful life of various categories of assets are as follows:
 
 Category
 
Useful Life (years)
Building (Flat)
 
25
Plant and Machinery
 
20
Computer Equipment
 
3
Office Equipment
 
5
Furniture and Fixtures
 
5
Vehicles

Leasehold Improvements
 
Over the period of lease or useful life (if less)
 
Upon disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation of the Property and equipment are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is reflected in the results of operation. Cost of additions and substantial improvements to property and equipment are capitalized in the books of accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs of the property and equipment are charged to operating expenses.
 
F-10

 
 
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. FAS142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually.
 
The goodwill impairment test under FAS 142 is performed in two phases during the fourth quarter of each year. 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.
 
Asset retirement obligations:
 
Asset retirement obligations associated with the Company’s leasehold land are subject to the provisions of FAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” and related interpretation, FIN No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” . The lease agreements entered into by the Company may contain clauses requiring restoration of the leased site at the end of the lease term and therefore create asset retirement obligations. The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value of each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement.
 
Foreign currency transactions:
 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are expressed in the functional currency Indian Rupees at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at rates ruling on the transaction dates. 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.
 
Operating leases:
 
Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
F-11

 
 
Capital leases:
 
Assets acquired under capital leases are capitalized as assets by the Company at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the related lease payments or where applicable, the estimated fair value of such assets. Amortization of leased assets is computed on straight line basis over the useful life of the assets. Amortization charge for capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
 
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 September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS No. 157). FAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The Company’s adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial statements. Relative to FAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) FAS 157-1, FAS 157-2, and FAS 157-3. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13,“Accounting for Leases” (SFAS 13), and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157 as it relates to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not active for those financial assets. This FSP is effective immediately and includes those periods for which financial statements have not been issued. We currently do not have any financial assets that are valued using inactive markets, and as such are not impacted by the issuance of this FSP.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS No. 159). FAS No. 159 provides companies with a choice to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The Company’s adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
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.
 
Segment and Geographic Reporting:
 
India Globalization Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries are significantly engaged in one segment, infrastructure construction.  Since there is no Chief Officer who allocates resources as described in FAS No. 131, the Company is not required to report its operations by business segment reporting.  All revenue reporting in the years ending March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were earned solely in India.  Therefore, no disclosures indicating source country revenue is provided in this annual report.

NOTE J – INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
 
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.
 
F-15

 
 
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 and similar opportunities in the alternative energy space if it is able to obtain adequate funding from the exercise of warrants, debt or other means.
 
NOTE K – 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.  Effectively, the purchase price of $26 million was funded with approximately $8.1 million in cash and a note for $17.9 million (computed at an exchange rate of approximately 40 INR to $1 USD).  Failure to repay the note or negotiate a settlement could result in IGC having to decrease its ownership in Sricon by tendering all or a portion of the Sricon shares it owns to Sricon to repay the note. 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.
 
NOTE L – 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 M – VALUATION OF WARRANTS ISSUED TO OLIVEIRA CAPITAL, LLC
 
We account for derivative instruments and embedded derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. The amended standard requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure these instruments at fair value. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes Pricing model. We also follow EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value, with any changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument can be included in equity, with no fair value adjustments are required.
 
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 N – 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) Approximately $3.1 Million was non-cash expenses associated with the award of stock to the Bridge investors.  2) 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 , 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.
 
NOTE O – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
IGC-Mauritius has beneficially formed a company called IGC Materials, Private Limited based in India.  At the completion of the formalities, in the month of July 2009, IGC-Mauritius will beneficially own 100% of the shares of IGC Materials, Private Limited, which will conduct IGC’s rock aggregate and materials business. 
 
IGC India Mining & Trading, a wholly owned subsidiary of IGC- Mauritius, has received a line of credit from State Bank of Mysore with the following parameters:
 
a) Letter of Credit - USD 1 million (USD 1 = INR 50);
 
b) Forward Contract  - USD 1 million (USD 1 = INR 50); and
 
c) Foreign Demand Bills Payable / Foreign Usance Bills Payable - USD 1 million (USD 1 = INR 50).
 
The line of credit is secured by a corporate guarantee from IGC Mauritius, V. C. Homes (an associate company of the promoters of TBL), and a personal guarantee of Mr. Pious Abraham (associate of TBL promoters). The rate of interest is 1.25% above bank’s prime lending rate with a minimum of interest rate of 14.25%.   The line is used to provide back to back letters of credit for iron ore contracts.

Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
 
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
 
The operations of IGC are based in India. IGC owns 100% of a subsidiary in Mauritius called IGC-Mauritius (IGC-M).  This company in turn operates through five subsidiaries in India.   We own sixty three percent of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) and seventy seven percent of Techni Bharathi, Limited (“TBL”).  We also beneficially own one hundred percent of IGC India Mining and Trading, Private Limited, IGC Logistic, Private Limited, and IGC Materials, Private Limited. Through our subsidiaries we operate in the infrastructure industry.  Operating as a fully integrated infrastructure company, IGC, through its subsidiaries, has expertise in road building, mining and quarrying and engineering of high temperature plants. The Company’s medium term plans are to expand each of these core competencies while offering an integrated suite of service offerings to each of our customers.
 
The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including among others, dependency on India’s economy and government policies, seasonal business factors, competitively priced raw materials, dependence upon key members of the management team and increased competition from existing and new entrants.
 
India Globalization Capital, Inc.
 
IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses with operations primarily in India through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, 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).   On February 19, 2009 IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Mining and Trading, Limited based in Chennai India.
 
On July 4, 2009 IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Materials, Private Limited, and 100% of IGC Logistics, Private Limited.  Both these companies are based in Nagpur, India.
 
F-24

 
 
Merger and Accounting Treatment
 
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.  Ownership interest of the founders and management, in these two companies, is reflected in the financial statements as “Minority Interest”.
 
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, TBL IGC-IMT, IGC-LPL, and IGC-MPL).
 
IGC’s organizational structure is as follows:
 
 
 
Securities
 
We have three securities listed on NYSE Amex : (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).    Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and two warrants.  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 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.
 
F-25

 
 
On January 9, 2009 we completed an exchange of 11,943,878 public and private warrants for 1,311,064 new shares of common stock.  Following the issuance of the shares relating to the warrant exercise, we had 10,091,971 shares of common stock and 11,855,122 warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2009.  On May 13, 2009, we issued 78,820 shares of common stock to certain of our officers and directors pursuant to our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan.  Subsequent to this issuance, as of June 30, 2009 we had 10,169,991 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
On July 13, 2009, we issued 15,000 shares of common stock to RedChip Companies Inc. for services rendered.  The stock price on the date of the transaction was $0.88 per share.  
 
On September 15, 2009, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with institutional investors relating to the sale and issuance by our company to the investors of an aggregate of 1,599,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 319,800 shares of our common stock, for a total purchase price of $1,998,750. The common stock and warrants were sold on a per unit basis at a purchase price of $1.25 per unit. The shares of common stock and warrants were issued separately. Each investor received one warrant representing the right to purchase, at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, a number of shares of common stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the investor in the offering. The sales were made pursuant to a shelf registration statement.  On September 30, 2009 we had 11,783,991 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the six months ended September 30, 2009 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
 
Prior Pro Forma Results of Operations
 
We previously disclosed Pro Forma results of Operations in our Quarterly Reports’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis sections. These Pro Forma statements were reported as if the acquisition of Sricon and TBL occurred on April 1, 2007 and April 1, 2008 respectively.  We felt that this was a more meaningful presentation of our results of operations since we acquired both Sricon and TBL on March 7, 2008.  Since all of the operation results for Sricon and TBL are included for the three and six month periods ending September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, we no longer believe that Pro Forma results of operations as reported in filings prior to the June 30, 2009 quarterly filings present a meaningful discussion of our results of operations.  Therefore, the quarterly filing for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 contains no pro forma results as well.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Minority interest in subsidiaries consists of equity securities issued by a subsidiary of the Company. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of the issuance of these securities, and the Company owned a majority of the voting equity of the subsidiary both before and after the transactions. The Company reflects the impact of the equity securities issuances in its investment in subsidiary and additional paid-in-capital accounts for the dilution or anti-dilution of its ownership interest in the subsidiary.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to the presentation of the current year.  Sales and services include adjustments made towards liquidated damages, price variation and charges paid for discounting of receivables arising from construction/project contracts on a non-recourse basis, wherever applicable.
 
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.
 
F-27

 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The majority of the revenue recognized for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as follows:
 
Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
 
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.
 
Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:
 
 
a)
 
Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.
     
 
 
b)
     
Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable
 
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
 
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
 
Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.
 
F-28

 
 
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.
 
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.
 
Restricted cash:
 
Restricted cash consists of deposits pledged with various government authorities and deposits restricted as to usage under lien to banks for guarantees and letters of credit given by the Company. The restricted cash is primarily invested in time deposits with banks.
 
Accounts receivable:
 
Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount. Account balances are written off when the company believes that the receivables will not be recovered. The company’s bad debts are included in selling and general administrative expenses. The company did not recognize any bad debts during the 6 month period ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.
 
Inventories:
 
Inventories primarily comprise finished goods, raw materials, work in progress, stock at customer site, stock in transit, components and accessories, stores and spares, scrap, residue and real estate. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.
 
The Cost of various categories of inventories is determined on the following basis:
 
Raw Material are valued at weighted average of landed cost (Purchase price, Freight inward and transit insurance charges), Work in progress is valued as confirmed, valued & certified by the technicians & site engineers and Finished Goods at material cost plus appropriate share of labor cost and production overhead. Components and accessories, stores erection, materials, spares and loose tools are valued on a First-in-First out basis. Real Estate is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Accounts Receivable – Long Term:
 
Known in India as Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT). It is money due to the company by the private or public sector to finance, design, construct, and operate a facility stated in a concession contract over an extended period of time.
 
F-29

 
 
Investments:
 
Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs. Investments generally comprises of fixed deposits with banks.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment:
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of computers, construction, scrap processing and other equipments, buildings and other assets are provided based on the Straight-line method over useful life of the assets.
 
The value of plant and equipment that are capitalized include the acquisition price and other direct attributable expenses.
 
The estimated useful life of various assets and associated historical costs are as follows:

F-30

 
 
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.
 
Asset retirement obligations:
 
Asset retirement obligations associated with the Company’s leasehold land are subject to the provisions of FAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” and related interpretation, FIN No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” . The lease agreements entered into by the Company may contain clauses requiring restoration of the leased site at the end of the lease term and therefore create asset retirement obligations. The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value of each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement.
 
Foreign currency transactions:
 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are expressed in the functional currency Indian Rupees at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at rates ruling on the transaction dates. 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.
 
Operating leases:
 
Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
Capital leases:
 
Assets acquired under capital leases are capitalized as assets by the Company at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the related lease payments or where applicable, the estimated fair value of such assets. Amortization of leased assets is computed on straight line basis over the useful life of the assets. Amortization charge for capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

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.
 
On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment.  SFAS No 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. 
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS No. 157). FAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The Company’s adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial statements. Relative to FAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) FAS 157-1, FAS 157-2, and FAS 157-3. FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13,“Accounting for Leases” (SFAS 13), and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157 as it relates to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not active for those financial assets. This FSP is effective immediately and includes those periods for which financial statements have not been issued. We currently do not have any financial assets that are valued using inactive markets, and as such are not impacted by the issuance of this FSP.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—  Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS No. 159). FAS No. 159 provides companies with a choice to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The Company’s adoption of this Standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
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.
 
Segment and Geographic Reporting:
 
India Globalization Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries are significantly engaged in one fully integrated segment, infrastructure construction.  Since there is no Chief Officer who allocates resources as described in FAS No. 131, the Company is not required to report its operations by business segment reporting.  All revenue reporting in the periods ending September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were earned solely in Asia.  Therefore, no disclosures indicating source country revenue is provided in this report.

NOTE 9 -  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
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.  We paid full price for the stock of Sricon, and we subsequently borrowed $17.9 million (computed at an exchange rate of approximately 40 INR to $1 USD) from Sricon.    Failure to repay the note or negotiate a settlement could result in IGC having to decrease its ownership in Sricon by tendering all or a portion of the Sricon shares it owns to Sricon to repay the note. The Sricon Acquisition was consummated on March 7, 2008.
 
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Oliveira Note
 
On October 5, 2009, we consummated the exchange of an outstanding promissory note in the total principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Original Note”) initially issued to the Steven M. Oliveira 1998 Charitable Remainder Unitrust (“Oliveira”) for a new promissory note (the “New Note”) on substantially the same terms as the original note except that the principal amount of the New Note is $2,120,000. The New Note reflects the accrued but unpaid interest on the Original Note and the New Note is due and payable on October 4, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”). There is no interest payable on the New Note.  As is the case with the Original Note, we can pre-pay the New Note at any time without penalty or premium, and the New Note is unsecured.
 
The New Note is not convertible into shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”) or other securities of the Company. However, under the Note and Share Purchase Agreement (the “Note and Share Purchase Agreement”), effective as of October 4, 2009, by and among us and Oliveira, as additional consideration for the exchange of the Original Note, we agreed to issue 530,000 shares of Common Stock to Oliveira.  If we fail to repay the Notes by the Maturity Date, Oliveira would be entitled to receive 200,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
Pursuant to the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, we have also agreed that if the Note is not repaid by the Maturity Date we will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that no later than October 4, 2010, we will have a registration statement effective with a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock based on the then fair market value of the shares registered in excess of the amount due under the New Note.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $4 million from time to time through Enclave, as its sales agent. Sales of the Shares, if any, would be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE Amex at market prices, privately negotiated transactions, crosses or block transactions and such other transactions as may be agreed between us and Enclave, including a combination of any of these transactions. Enclave will receive from us a commission equal to 3% of the gross sales price per share of the Shares sold through it as sales agent under the Agreement.  We have commenced selling Shares under the Agreement.
 
Bricoleur note
 
On October 16, 2009, we consummated the sale of a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”) to Bricoleur Partners, L.P. (“Bricoleur”) for $2,000,000. There is no interest payable on the Note and the Note is due and payable on October 16, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).  We can pre-pay the Note at any time without penalty or premium, and the Note is unsecured.
 
The Note is not convertible into shares of our Common Stock or other securities of the Company. However, under the Note and Share Purchase Agreement (the “Note and Share Purchase Agreement”), effective as of October 16, 2009, by and among us and Bricoleur, as additional consideration for the investment in the Note, we issued 530,000 shares of Common Stock to Bricoleur.  If we fail to repay the Note by the Maturity Date, Bricoleur is entitled to receive an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock for no additional consideration.
 
Pursuant to the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, we have also agreed that if the Note is not repaid by the Maturity Date we will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that no later than October 30, 2010, we will have a registration statement effective with a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock based on the then fair market value of the shares registered reasonably in excess of the amount due under the Note.
 
In connection with the Note and Share Purchase Agreement, we have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) effective as of October 16, 2009, with Bricoleur, pursuant to which Bricoleur will have the right to have their shares of Common Stock registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission following their issuance, as well as customary piggyback registration rights, as further described in the Registration Rights Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to our Form 8-K filed on October 21, 2009. If we fail to meet the filing or effectiveness deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, Bricoleur would be entitled, for each $1,000,000 of principal outstanding, to 25,000 shares of Common Stock plus an additional 5,000 shares of Common Stock for each 60-day period such filing or effectiveness is delayed beyond the initial late period.

II-1

 
 
(4)             “Official capacity” means the following:

(i)             When used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation; and
 
(ii)           When used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in subsection (j), the elective or appointive office in the corporation held by the officer, or the employment or agency relationship undertaken by the employee or agent in behalf of the corporation.
 
(iii)             “Official capacity” does not include service for any other foreign or domestic corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan.
 
(5)             “Party” includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or r respondent in a proceeding.
 
(6)           “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.
  
(b) Permitted indemnification of director. —
 
(1)             A corporation may indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that:
 
(i)             The act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding; and

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

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

(2)             (i)             Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

(3)             (i)             The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this subsection.
 
(ii)             The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.
 
(4)           A corporation may not indemnify a director or advance expenses under this section for a proceeding brought by that director against the corporation, except:
 
                                 (i)             For a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under this section; or
 
(ii)             If the charter or bylaws of the corporation, a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation, or an agreement approved by the board of directors of the corporation to which the corporation is a party expressly provide otherwise.
 
II-2

 
 
(c) No indemnification of director liable for improper personal benefit. — A director may not be indemnified under subsection (b) of this section in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received.
 
(d) Required indemnification against expenses incurred in successful defense — Unless limited by the charter:
 
(1)             A director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (b) of this section shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

(i)             If it determines a director is entitled to reimbursement under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the director shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or
 
(ii)             If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director has met the standards of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section or has been adjudged liable under the circumstances described in subsection (c) of this section, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in subsection (c) shall be limited to expenses.
 
(3)           A court of appropriate jurisdiction may be the same court in which the proceeding involving the director’s liability took place.
 
(e) Determination that indemnification is proper. — (1) Indemnification under subsection (b) of this section may not be made by the corporation unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section.
 
(2)             Such determination shall be made:

(ii)              By special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or a committee of the board by vote as set forth in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, or, if the requisite quorum of the full board cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of the full board in which directors who are parties may participate; or
 
(iii)             By the stockholders.

II-3

 
 
(3)             Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible.

(4)           Shares held by directors who are parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter under this subsection.

(ii)             A written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

(g) Validity of indemnification provision. — The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or authorized by this section may not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which a director may be entitled under the charter, the bylaws, a resolution of stockholders or directors, an agreement or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
 
(h) Reimbursement of director’s expenses incurred while appearing as witness. — This section does not limit the corporation’s power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the director has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

(3)           Action taken or omitted by the director with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of the director’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the director to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
 
(j) Officer, employee or agent. — Unless limited by the charter:
 
(1)             An officer of the corporation shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this section for a director and shall be entitled, to the same extent as a director, to seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d);
 
II-4

 
 
(2)             A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same extent that it may indemnify directors under this section; and
 
(3)           A corporation, in addition, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be provided by its charter, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.
 
(k) Insurance or similar protection. — (1) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the provisions of this section.
 
(2)             A corporation may provide similar protection, including a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond, not inconsistent with this section.
 
(3)             The insurance or similar protection may be provided by a subsidiary or an affiliate of the corporation.
 
(l) Report of indemnification to stockholders. — Any indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a director in accordance with this section, if arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, shall be reported in writing to the stockholders with the notice of the next stockholders’ meeting or prior to the meeting.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
Paragraph B. of Article Tenth of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides:
 
“The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 2-418 of the MGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding or which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”
 
Article XI of our Bylaws provides for indemnification of any of our directors, officers, employees or agents for certain matters in accordance with Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.

Item 17.  
Undertakings
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offering therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that:
 
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
 
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
