NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES




a)
Basis of preparation of financial statements




The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on July 14, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Financial Statements. The results for interim periods do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company, in respect of these consolidated financial statements, are set out below.




8
 Table of Contents




b)
Principles of consolidation




The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, which are more than 50% owned and controlled. The financial statements of the parent company and its majority owned / controlled subsidiaries have been combined on a line by line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances / transactions and resulting unrealized gain / loss. Operating results of companies acquired are included from the dates of acquisition.




The Company accounts for investments by the equity method where its investment in the voting stock gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee but not control. In addition, the Company consolidates any Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. However, as at September 30, 2010, the Company does not have any interest in VIE or equity method investment.




The non-controlling interest disclosed in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements represents the non-controlling interest in Techni Bharathi (TBL) and Sricon and the profits or losses associated with the non-controlling interest in those operations.




The adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10-65 “Consolidation — Transition and Open Effective Date Information” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”), has resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to minority interest (now referred to as non-controlling interest) to a separate component of Shareholders’ Equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). Additionally, net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown separately from net income in the consolidated statements of income. This reclassification had no effect on our previously reported financial position or results of operations.




c)
Use of estimates




The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported.




Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable.  Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, future obligations under employee benefit plans, the useful lives of property, plant, equipment, intangible assets, the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, the valuation of options granted and warrants issued and income tax and valuation allowances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.




Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.




d)
Foreign currency translation




The consolidated financial statements are reported in United States dollars (“USD” or “$”). The functional currency of the parent Company – IGC Inc. and its subsidiary IGC-M is the USD. The functional currency of IGC-IMT, IGC-L, IGC-MPL and TBL is the Indian rupee (INR). The translation of the functional currency of these subsidiaries into USD is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using month end exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported under ‘Accumulated other comprehensive income’, a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity.




Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations.

 Table of Contents




e)
Revenue Recognition




The majority of the revenue recognized for the six month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as follows:




Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In Government contracting we recognize revenue when a Government consultant verifies and certifies an invoice for payment.




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)
Accounts receivable




Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, taking into consideration any adjustments made by government consultants who verify and certify construction and material invoices.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of clients to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by evaluating the relative credit worthiness of each client, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables. The company did not recognize any bad debt for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenue on contracts to be billed, in subsequent periods, as per the terms of the related contracts.




g)
Accounts Receivable – Long Term

Inventories




Inventories primarily comprise of finished goods, raw materials, work in progress, stock at customer site, stock in transit, components and accessories, stores and spares, scrap and residue.  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 is valued at weighed average of landed cost (purchase price, freight inward and transit insurance charges).·Work in progress is valued as confirmed, valued and certified by the technicians and site engineers and finished goods at material cost plus appropriate share of labor cost and production overheads.




·
Components and accessories, stores erection, materials, spares and loose tools are valued on a first-in-first out basis.




i)
Investments:




Investments in marketable securities, available for sale: Marketable securities, available for sale are carried at fair value as determined by reference to prevailing market prices.  Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.  Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on a specific identification basis on a trade date basis and are included in statement of operations.  A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale security, below cost, that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value.  This impairment is charged to statement of operations and a new cost basis for the security is established.




Investments in unquoted securities: Investments in unquoted securities are carried at cost and adjusted for declines in value deemed to be other than temporary.




Investments in associates:The Company's equity in the earnings/(losses) of affiliates is included in the statement of income and the Company's share of net assets of affiliates is included in the balance sheet.




j)
Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E):




Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:





Buildings
25 yearsPlant and machinery
20 yearsComputer equipment
3 yearsOffice equipment
5 yearsFurniture and fixtures
5 yearsVehicles
5 years





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.

k)
Impairment of long – lived assets




The company reviews its long-lived 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.




l)
Earnings/(loss) per common share




The Company presents basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share (EPS) data for its common stock. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive common stock which comprise convertible and redeemable preference shares and share options granted to employees.




m)
Income taxes




Deferred income tax is 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.  The IGC parent expects to realize sufficient earnings and profits to utilize deferred tax assets as it begins (1) invoicing its subsidiaries for services and (2) establishes iron ore sales contracts with customers in China and other countries.




n)
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, Mauritius, and India 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.




o)
Restricted cash:




Restricted cash consists of deposits pledged to various government authorities and deposits used as collateral with banks for guarantees and letters of credit, given by the Company to its customers or vendors.

p)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments




At September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items.




q)
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers




Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments, derivatives, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable. The Company places its cash, investments and derivatives in highly-rated financial institutions. The Company adheres to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains credit rating minimums and diversification requirements. Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, does not require collateral.




At September 30, 2010, five clients accounted for approximately 91% of gross accounts receivable. At March 31, 2010, four clients accounted for approximately 68% of gross accounts receivable.




r)
Business combinations




The Company accounts for acquired businesses by using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the assets acquired including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The cost to acquire a business comprises of cash paid, the fair value of shares issued, amounts that are contingently payable and amounts payable on the basis of earn-out arrangements, deferred consideration and transaction costs. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The primary drivers that generate goodwill are the value of synergies between the acquired entities and the company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies as an identifiable intangible asset.




s)
Goodwill / Impairment




Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company'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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others”, (previously referred to as SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Company defines as each circle.




ASC 350 also prohibits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-life 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 ASC 350 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.

NOTE 12 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION




On April 1, 2009 the Company adopted ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, (previously referred to as SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment).  ASC 718 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.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company granted 78,820 shares of common stock and 1,413,000 stock options, to its directors and employees.   The options vested immediately.  The exercise price of the options was $1.00 per share, and the options will expire on May 13, 2014.  The fair value of the stock was $39,410 on the date of grant and the fair value of the stock options was $90,997.  No share-based compensation was recognized for the three or six-month period ended September 30, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, 531,795 options remain issuable under the 2008 Omnibus Plan.




NOTE 13 - DECONSOLIDATION




Effective October 1, 2009, the Company decreased our ownership in Sricon Infrastructure from 63% to 22.3%.  On March 7, 2008 the Company consummated the Sricon Acquisition by purchasing 63% for $ 28,690,266 (based on an exchange rate of 40 INR for 1 USD).   Subsequently, the Company effectively borrowed, through an intermediary company, $ 17,900,000 (based on 40 INR for 1 USD) from Sricon.  Through 2008 and 2009 the Company expanded its business offerings beyond construction to include a rapidly growing materials business. Subsequently, the Company has successfully repositioned itself as a materials and construction company; with construction activity in its TBL subsidiary and materials activity in its other subsidiaries. As a consequence, it no longer owes $ 17,900,000 and correspondingly, the ownership in Sricon is decreased from 63% to 22.3%, a minority interest.  The accounting of the decrease in ownership, or deconsolidation of Sricon from the balance sheet of IGC, resulted in the shrinking of the IGC balance sheet and a one-time charge on the P&L.




The equity dilution of 40.715% resulted in a consideration of $17,900,000. Following the guidance under ASC 810-10, the parent derecognized the assets, liabilities and equity components (including the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income) related to Sricon.  IGC recorded a loss of $785,073 and further reclassified an accumulated AOCI loss of $2,098,492 in the income statement as a result of the dilution.  Deferred acquisition costs related to Sricon amounted to $1,854,750, which were subsequently recorded in the income statement for the Fiscal Year that ended March 31, 2010.





The Company has accounted for its remaining 22.3% interest in Sricon by the equity method.The carrying value of the investment in Sricon as of September 30, 2010 was $ 8,443,181.  The Company’s equity in the income of Sricon for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was Nil.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES




The provision for income taxes resulted in a tax benefit of $ 33,331 in the three months period ended September 30, 2010 compared to tax expense of $ 51,350 for the same period in 2009.  The income tax benefit in the current quarter is attributable to the deferred taxes arising on temporary differences in respect of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries. The primary reason for the deferred tax assets of $ 4,557,036 is on account of tax attributes related to deferred interest expense, NOL’s and foreign tax credits. As stated in our 10-K for FY ended March 31, 2010, a valuation allowance is not taken because of $200 million in new contracts over 5 years commencing in fiscal year 2011.  We believe that the newly acquired contracts will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our tax assets recorded as of September 30, 2010.   However given that the Company has recorded a loss in the current quarter, the Company believes that it would be appropriate to create a valuation allowance for the losses of the current quarter, Refer to our 10-K for more details on utilization of tax assets.


NOTE 16 - SEGMENT INFORMATION




Accounting pronouncements establish standards for the manner in which public companies report information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") on deciding on how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is considered to be the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO"). The CEO reviews financial information presented on an entity level basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Therefore, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis




The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on July 14, 2010.  In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on July 14, 2010.




Overview




In response to India’s rapidly expanding economy, our primary focus is to supply construction materials and execute infrastructure projects through our subsidiaries. We supply construction materials like iron ore, rock aggregate, we construct interstate highways, rural roads, and we execute civil works in high temperature cement and steel plants.  We own and operate rock aggregate quarries with stone deposits and we have applied for licenses to mine iron ore in India.  We have customers in India, China and we are exploring other regional opportunities.




Company Overview




We are a materials and construction company offering services including:




1.
The export of iron ore to China.




2.
Operations and supply of rock aggregate, and




3.
civil construction of roads and highways,




Our present and past clients include various Indian government organizations and steel mills in China.   Including our subsidiaries, we have approximately 150 employees and contractors.  We are focused building out rock aggregate quarries, setting up relations and export hubs for the export of iron ore to China and winning construction contracts.




On January 26, 2010 Minister Kamal Nath, India’s Minister for Road Transport and Highways, told the Wall Street Journal that he plans to build 20 kilometers of road every day and raise $41 billion in private sector investment in the next three to four years.   This build out of infrastructure in India, we believe, will create a substantial demand for rock aggregate.  In addition, according to Standard and Poor’s, China’s steel production in 2009 increased 13.4% from 2008 and is expected to increase by 21% in 2010. We believe that these trends will continue to be favorable to our business.  Our model is three-fold:




1.
We supply iron ore to China.




2.
We supply rock aggregate to the construction industry in India, and




3.
We bid and execute construction and engineering contracts.

 Table of Contents





There is seasonality in our business as outdoor construction activity slows down during the Indian monsoons.  The heavy rains typically continue intermittently from June through September.  Our expansion plans include building out 10 rock aggregate quarries to create a one-stop shop for rock aggregate (a business not prevalent in India), obtaining licenses for the mining of iron ore in India in order to fill customer orders from China, and winning and executing construction contracts.




Industry Overview




The CIA 2010 World Fact Book estimated the Indian GDP to be approximately $1.1 trillion in 2009.  According to the World Bank, only fourteen economies including India, Mexico and Australia generated more than $1 Trillion in GDP in 2008. According to the CIA 2010 World Fact Book, India’s growth rates ranged from 6.2% to 9.6% for the past few years.   The current global financial crisis created a liquidity crunch starting in October 2008, which has partially abated. The Financial Times noted that a recent Economic Survey of India projected growth at 8.5% in 2010 and 9% in 2011, second only to that of China.




India’s GDP growth for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 was estimated to be about the same as 2009’s growth rate.  The stagnant GDP growth rate 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 the spending habits of the Indian middle class. Other factors that led to growth include: changing investment patterns, increasing consumerism, healthy business confidence, inflows of foreign investment (India ranks #3 in the A.T. Kearney “FDI Confidence Index” for 2010), and improvements in the Indian banking system.




To sustain India’s fast growing economy, infrastructure investment in India is expected to increase to 9 percent of GDP by 2014, up from 5 percent 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 $2.0 billion annually.  In addition, the Indian government has identified public-private partnerships (PPP) as the cornerstone of its infrastructure development policy.  The Indian 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, India needs $1 trillion in Infrastructure spending between fiscal years 2011/2012 and 2016/2017.




The Indian government is also permitting External Commercial Borrowings (ECB’s) as a source of financing Indian companies looking to expand existing capacity and 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 the International Finance Corporation (Washington, DC), ADB, AFIC, CDC, etc.  National credit policies seek to keep an annual cap or ceiling on access to ECB, consistent with prudent debt management.   These policies encourage a greater emphasis on infrastructure projects in core sectors such as power, oil exploration, telecom, railways, roads and bridges, ports, industrial parks, urban infrastructure, and 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) or government approval. The maximum amount of ECB’s under the automatic route raised by an eligible borrower is limited to $500 million during any financial year. The following are additional requirements under the automatic route:
 
 a) ECB up to $20 million or equivalent with minimum average maturity of 3 years.
 
 b) ECB above $20 million and up to $500 million or equivalent with minimum average maturity of 5 years.





Some of the areas where ECBs are utilized are 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 metric tons in major ports and 345 million metric tons in minor ports.





3.
Modernization and redevelopment of 21 railway stations.4.
Developing 16 million hectares through small, medium and large irrigation works.





5.
Modernization and redevelopment of 4 metro and 35 non-metro airports.6.
Expansion to six-lanes of 6,500 km (4,038 miles) of Golden Quadrilateral and other 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  towns





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 set of services to our customers based upon several core competencies. This integrated approach provides us with an advantage over our competitors.





Our core business areas include the following:





Highway and heavy construction.





The Indian government has developed a plan to build and modernize Indian infrastructure.  The Wall Street Journal reported on March 23, 2010 that the government plans to double infrastructure spending from $500 billion to $1 trillion.  It will pay for the expansion and construction of rural roads, major highways, airports, seaports, freight corridors, railroads and townships.  A significant number of our customers are engaged in highway and heavy construction.

Mining and quarrying.





As Indian infrastructure modernizes, the demand for raw materials like stone aggregate, coal, ore and similar resources is projected to greatly increase. In 2009, according to the Freedonia Group, India was the third largest stone aggregate market in the world. The report projected that Indian demand for crushed stone would increase to 770 million metric tons in 2013 and 1.08 billion metric tons in 2018. We are in the process of teaming with landowners to build out rock quarries.  In addition we have licenses for the development of rock aggregate quarries.





Our mining and trading activity centers on the export of iron ore to China. According to International Business Times, August 6, 2010, India is the third largest producer of iron ore producing around 277 million metric tons of ore behind Brazil and Australia.  The Freedonia Group projected in May 2010 that China’s $1.15 trillion construction industry will grow 9.1% every year until 2014. This growth will increase China’s already large demand for steel. China is expected to produce 600 million metric tons of steel in 2010, which, as the Wall Street Journal reported, is expected to be almost half of total global output. We believe that IGC is well positioned to provide Chinese steel mills with the iron ore needed to meet demand.





Construction and maintenance of high temperature plants.





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




Customers.





Our past and present customers include the National Highway Authority of India, several state highway authorities, the Indian railways and several steel mills and their traders in China. We currently have agreements to supply approximately $200,000,000 of materials over five years.





Construction 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, 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, manpower required, and other qualifications 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.  Generally, the lowest bid wins the contract. Additionally, contract bidders must meet several requirements to demonstrate an adequate level of capital reserves:  1) An earnest money deposit between 2% to 10% of project costs, 2) a performance guarantee of between 5% and 10%, 3) an adequate overall working capital, and 4) additional capital available for plant and machinery.   Bidding qualifications for larger NHAI projects are set by NHAI and are imposed on each contractor.  As the contractor actually executes larger highway projects, then the contractor may qualify for even larger projects.




Growth strategy and business model.




Our growth strategy and business model are to:




·
Deepen our relationships with our existing construction customers by providing them infrastructure materials like iron ore, rock aggregate, concrete, coal and associated logistical support.


·
Expand our materials offering by expanding the number of rock aggregate quarries and other materials.


·
Leverage our expertise in the logistics and supply of iron ore by increasing the number of shipping hubs we operate from and continue to expand our offering into China and other Asian countries in order to take advantage of their expected strong infrastructure growth.


·
As part of our financing plan, aggressively pursue the collection of outstanding claims for amounts due for past projects.

Competition.




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 in China.  Further, we expect to install a large iron ore crusher that can grind ore pebbles into fine ore particles, providing a value added service to the smaller mine owners.  In the construction arena 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 worth less than $5 million. The recent capital markets crisis has made it more difficult for smaller companies to grow to mid-sized companies because their access to capital has been restrained. Our construction business is 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.





Seasonality.




The road building and construction industries typically experience naturally recurring seasonal patterns throughout India.  The Northeast monsoons historically arrive on June 1, followed by the Southwest monsoons which usually continue intermittently until September.  Historically, the business in the monsoon months is slower than in other months because of the heavy rains.  The materials business including the iron ore export and the aggregate business slows down during the monsoons.  The 2010 monsoon was longer than expected.  Flooding in the quarries can slow production in the stone aggregate industry during the monsoon season.  The monsoon season has historically been used to bid and win contracts for construction and for the supply of ore and aggregate in preparation for work activity when the rains abate.




Employees and consultants.




As of September 30, 2010, we employed a work force of approximately 150 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 hope that our efforts will make our companies more attractive.  We are planning to provide vastly improved labor camps for our labor force.  We hope that our efforts will make our companies the “employers of choice”.  As of September 30, 2010 our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is Ram Mukunda and our Non-Executive Chairman is Ranga Krishna. The Head of Indian Operations is K. Parthasarathy. Our Managing Director for Materials, Mining and Trading is P. M. Shivaraman.   The General Manager of our rock aggregate and logistics business is Brigadier Kuljit Singh. 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, tax and other expertise.




Environmental regulations.




India has 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. We believe that we are in compliance with all 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.




Current Chinese currency revaluation.




The People’s Bank of China announced on June 19, 2010 that it would increase the “flexibility” or the renminbi and re-institute a “managed floating exchange rate.” The Wall Street Journal noted that the last time China used such a system the yuan appreciated 21% against the dollar in three years. If a similar appreciation occurs, it will increase the purchasing power of Chinese steel mills buying Iron ore, which is traded in USD. Chinese firms could buy more ore, even at a higher price, and IGC would benefit from an appreciation of the yuan.

Information and timely financial reporting.




Our operations are located in India where the accepted accounting standard is the Indian GAAP, which, in many cases, is not congruent with the USGAAP.  Indian accounting standards are evolving toward IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). We annually conduct audits for the Company by independent public accounting firm registered with the U.S. PCAOB.  We acknowledge that this process is at times cumbersome and places significant demands upon our existing staff.  We believe we are still six to twelve months away from having processes and adequately trained personnel in place to meet the reporting timetables set out by U.S. reporting requirements.  Until then we may, on occasion, have to file for extensions to meet U.S. reporting timetables.  We will make our annual reports, quarterly reports, proxy statements, and up-to-date investor presentations available on our Web site, www.indiaglobalcap.com as soon as they are available. Our SEC filings are also available, free of charge, at www.sec.gov.





Foreign Currency Translation




IGC mainly operates in India and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in the Indian rupee.   As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and Indian rupee affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.




The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The Indian rupee is the functional currency for the company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.





The exchange rates used for translation purposes are as under:

Revenue Recognition





The majority of the revenue recognized for the six month period ended September 30, 2010 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as accordingly:





Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In Government contracting we recognize revenue when a Government consultant verifies and certifies an invoice for payment.





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





26
 Table of Contents





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.





Goodwill





We account for goodwill in accordance with provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others”, (previously referred to as SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Group defines as each circle.





ASC 350 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 ASC 350 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.





During the fourth quarter of the year ending March 31, 2010, we completed the required annual test, which indicated there was no impairment since the fair value of the reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value.





Income Taxes





Deferred income tax is provided for the difference 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.  The Company expects to realize sufficient earnings and profits to utilize deferred tax assets as it begins invoicing its subsidiaries for services and establishes iron ore sales contracts with customers in China and other countries.   Recently, the Company reported contracts for the supply of around $200 million of iron ore to customers in China, which further supports this position. However since there has been a delay in the supply relating to the above agreement, owing to some regulatory restrictions, the Company believes that the it would be prudent to create a valuation allowance for the losses of the current quarter, We continue to believe that there will be sufficient profits generated over the future periods to utilize completely the tax assets recognized as at September 30, 2010.





Results of Operations





Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009





Revenue -Total revenue was $ 1,682 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $ 5,362 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The revenue reported in September 2010 does not include Sricon revenue, due to the deconsolidation of Sricon effective October 1, 2009.  The revenue reported in September 2009 however, includes revenue from Sricon.  Eliminating the Sricon revenue in order to make these comparable, the Company remained flat on the top line for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009.

 Table of Contents




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.  It also includes the cost associated with buying raw materials.  Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,613 thousand compared to $ 4,711 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  While the absolute decrease in the cost of revenue is due to the de-consolidation of Sricon effective October 1, 2009, as a percentage of revenue, the cost of revenue increased because the Company has contracts for rock aggregate and iron ore that it is filling before its quarries become fully operational.  This practice will continue till our quarries and ore mines are fully functional.  At that point, we will fill orders for infrastructure materials from a much-improved cost basis.   In the meantime our strategy is to gain market share, establish our brand, and expand the customer base.




Selling, General and Administrative- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $ 764 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $ 666 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is attributable primarily to the increased expense incurred on setting up proper infrastructure for administration and other support functions given the expected increase in business in the mineral trading business.





Operating Income (loss) -In the three months ended September 30, 2010, operating loss was $ 796 thousand compared to an operating loss of $ 224 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The operating loss in the three months ended September 30, 2010, stems partly due to a decrease in revenue on account of de-consolidation of Sricon and largely due to increased costs incurred during the initial phases of the quarry. We expect operating income to increase as our revenue ramps up and our quarries become operational.





Early extinguishment of debt, interest expense, and amortization of debt discount –The interest expense and amortization of debt discount for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $ 374 thousand compared to $ 356 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The interest expense and amortization of debt discount are for approximately USD 5,120 thousand of short and long term debt made available to the Company.  The annual effective rate of interest is 34%, albeit much of it non-cash.  If the Company raises equity and pays off some of the loans, it can potentially save around $ 400 thousand per quarter, or $ 1,600 thousand a year, which would increase our bottom line substantially.





Income tax benefit/(expense) –The provision for income taxes resulted in a tax benefit of $ 33 thousand in the three months period ended September 30, 2010 compared to tax expense of $ 51 thousand for the same period in 2009.  The decrease in income expense was primarily due to timing differences and tax attributes related to deferred interest expense, NOL’s and foreign tax credits. As stated in our 10-K, a valuation allowance is not taken because of $200 million in new contracts over 5 years commencing in fiscal year 2011.  We believe that newly acquired contracts will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our tax assets recorded as of September 30, 2010. However since there has been a delay in the supply relating to the above agreement, owing to some regulatory restrictions, the Company believes that the it would be prudent to create a valuation allowance for the losses of the current quarter, We continue to believe that there will be sufficient profits generated over the future periods to utilize completely the tax assets recognized as at September 30, 2010.





Consolidated Net Income (loss) –Consolidated Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $ 859 thousand compared to a consolidated net loss of $ 592 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.





Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and working capital –As on September 30, 2010 the company had $ 2,239 thousand of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash.  Restricted cash is cash in a fixed deposit used to secure a bank guarantee.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $ 3,829 thousand as working capital.





Six Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2009





Revenue -Total revenue was $ 2,810 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $ 8,085 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The revenue reported in September 2010 does not include Sricon revenue, due to the deconsolidation of Sricon effective October 1, 2009.  The revenue reported in September 2009, however, includes revenue from Sricon.  Eliminating the Sricon revenue in order to make these comparable, the Company remained flat on the top line for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009.

While the selling, general and administrative expenses reduced in the first quarter, the increase in the second quarter is attributable primarily to the increased expense incurred on setting up proper infrastructure for administration and other support functions given the expected increase in business in the mineral trading business.
 
 Operating Income (loss) -In the six months ended September 30, 2010, operating loss was $ 1,328 thousand compared to an operating loss of $ 232 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  The operating loss in the six months ended September 30, 2010, stem partly due to a decrease in revenue on account of de-consolidation of Sricon and largely due to increased costs incurred during the initial phases of the quarry.

 Early extinguishment of debt, interest expense, and amortization of debt discount –The interest expense and amortization of debt discount for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $ 767 thousand which was the same as that for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  The interest expense and amortization of debt discount are for approximately USD 5,120 thousand of short and long term debt made available to the Company.  The annual effective rate of interest is 34%, albeit much of it non-cash.

The decrease in income expense was primarily due to timing differences and tax attributes related to deferred interest expense, NOL’s and foreign tax credits. As stated in our 10-K for fiscal year 2010, a valuation allowance is not taken because of $200 million in new contracts over 5 years commencing in fiscal year 2011.

 Consolidated Net Income (loss) –Consolidated net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $ 1,450 thousand compared to a consolidated net loss of $ 1,051 thousand for the six months ended September 30, 2009.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





We do not have any investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt.

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 six months ended September 30, 2010, cash used for operating activities was $ 1,811 thousand compared to cash used for operating activities of $ 134 thousand during the six months ended September 30, 2009. The uses of cash in the six months ended September 30, 2010 relate primarily to the payment of general operating expenses of our subsidiary companies.  The significant contributor to the decrease in this cash flow is the increase in accounts receivables. While the Company continues to have favorable results in arbitrations, given the nature of the industry and owing to its lengthier operating cycle, the Company takes a relatively longer time to realize these receivables.
 
 During the six months ended September 30, 2010, investing activities from continuing operations provided $ 166 thousand of cash as compared to $ 517 thousand used during the comparable period in 2009. The inflow of cash was primarily due to release of restricted cash during the six months partially offset by investments in joint ventures during the same period.
 
 Financing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of transactions related to our debt and equity structure. During the six months ended September 30, 2010 financing activities provided approximately $ 1,186 thousand, compared to cash provided of approximately $ 868 thousand during the comparable period in 2009.  The cash generated from financing activity during the current period is primarily on account of issuance of common 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 are currently seeking to secure additional capital through a public offering of our common stock to fund further growth of our business, or the repayment of debt, in the near term. There can be no assurance that the offering will be successful.

Item 3.  Quantitativeand Qualitative Disclosures 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, Indian government owned companies and Chinese steel mills and iron ore traders.   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 may have an adverse effect on the Company as at September 30, 2010, five clients accounted for approximately 91% of our gross accounts receivable.  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, iron ore 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 and quality of raw materials.    We do not currently hedge commodity prices on capital markets.




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.   This has recently changed with the shortage of financial liquidity and falling oil prices.  However, with the expected increase in infrastructure spending, we expect a 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 our 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, a performance guaranty and the ability to discount letters of credit.  Furthermore, most construction 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.

Foreign Currency Translation





IGC mainly operates in India and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in the Indian rupee.   As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and Indian rupee affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.




The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The Indian rupee is the functional currency for the company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.





The exchange rates used for translation purposes are as under:

Item 4T. Controlsand Procedures




Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Principal Accounting Officer (“PAO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, September 30, 2010.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and  PAO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.




Changes in internal control over financial reporting: There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
