Background of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
IGC operates through two infrastructure companies in India, Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) and Techni Bharathi, Limited (“TBL”). IGC owns sixty-three percent of Sricon and seventy-seven percent of TBL. IGC through its subsidiaries has three core businesses: 1) highway and other heavy construction, 2) mining & quarrying and 3) civil construction and engineering of high temperature plants. The Company’s medium term plans are to expand each of these lines of business.
The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including among others, dependency on India’s economy and government policies, seasonal business factors, competitively priced raw materials, dependence upon key members of the management team and increased competition from existing and new entrants.
India Globalization Capital, Inc.
IGC, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 29, 2005 as a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses with operations primarily in India through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination or acquisition. On March 8, 2006, the company completed an initial public offering. On February 19, 2007, the Company incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (IGC-M), a wholly owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.
Merger and Accounting Treatment
On March 7, 2008, the Company consummated the acquisition of 63% of the equity of Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (Sricon) and 77% of the equity of Techni Bharathi Limited (TBL). The shares of the two Indian companies, Sricon and TBL, are held by IGC-M. Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL acquired by IGC were purchased directly from the companies. IGC purchased a portion of the shares from the existing owners of the companies. The founders and management of Sricon own 37% of Sricon and the founders and management of TBL own 23% of TBL. Prior to the acquisitions of Sricon and TBL, IGC had no operations and was considered a developmental stage enterprise.
The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, for accounting and financial purposes, IGC-M, Limited was treated as the acquiring entity and Sricon and TBL as the acquired entities. The consolidated financial statements provided here and going forward are the consolidated statements of IGC, which include IGC-M following the date of formation of IGC-M and Sricon and TBL following the date of the Company’s acquisition of the interests in Sricon and TBL. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operating results of Sricon and TBL prior to the acquisition. However, for comparative purposes, the combined statement of operations for the two acquired companies are presented as the “Combined Predecessors” for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.
Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company”, “IGC”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to India Globalization Capital, Inc, together with its wholly owned subsidiary IGC-M, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Sricon and TBL). Ownership in these two companies is reflected in the financial statements as “Minority Interest”. The following represents our corporate structure after the acquisitions:
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/10-Q/0001185185-08-000697/indiaflow.jpg)
Securities
We have three securities listed on the American Stock Exchange: (1) common stock, $.0001 par value (ticker symbol: IGC), (2) redeemable warrants to purchase common stock (ticker symbol: IGC.WS) and (3) units consisting of one share of common stock and two redeemable warrants to purchase common stock (ticker symbol: IGC.U). On March 8, 2006, we sold 11,304,500 units in our initial public offering. These 11,304,500 units include 9,830,000 units sold to the public and the over-allotment option of 1,474,500 units exercised by the underwriters of the public offering. The units were separated into common stock and warrants on April 13, 2006. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. The warrants expire on March 3, 2011, or earlier upon redemption. The registration statement for initial public offering was declared effective on March 2, 2006. The warrants are currently not exercisable pending the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to the warrants. When the warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised by contacting the Company or the transfer agent Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have a right to call the warrants, provided the common stock has traded at a closing price of at least $8.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. If we call the warrants, the holder will either have to redeem the warrants by purchasing the common stock from us for $5.00 or the warrants will expire.
On March 7, 2008, we bought and redeemed a total of 6,159,346 shares. As a result, on June 30, 2008, we had 8,570,107 shares outstanding (including shares sold to our founders in a private placement prior to the public offering) and 24,874,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of redeemable warrants and underwriters’ purchase option.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
Pro Forma Results of Operations
The accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations only reflect the operating results of companies acquired following the date of acquisition and do not reflect the operating results prior to the acquisitions. The following are pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 with the results for the Company alone for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included for comparative purposes. The results in the column labeled “Pro Forma Three Months Ended June 30, 2007” assume the Sricon and TBL acquisitions occurred on April 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisitions taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the Company. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments include adjustments for interest expense, start up costs, increased depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the application of the purchase method of accounting based on the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to the presentation of the current year. Sales and services include adjustments made towards liquidated damages, price variation and charges paid for discounting of receivables arising from construction/project contracts on a non-recourse basis, wherever applicable.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of the revenue recognized for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as follows:
Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.
Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:
a) | Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized. | ||
b) | Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable |
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.
Policy for Goodwill / Impairment
Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is disclosed separately. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
The company adopted provisions of FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ('FAS 142') which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Group defines as each circle.
FAS 142 also prohibits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets upon adoption, but requires that they be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently as warranted, at the reporting unit level.
The goodwill impairment test under FAS 142 is performed in two phases. The first step of the impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and step two of the impairment test must be performed. The second step of the impairment test quantifies the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the carrying amount of goodwill to the implied fair value. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
Impairment of long – lived assets and intangible assets
The company reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained declines in revenues or earnings and material adverse changes in the economic climate. For assets that the company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets. For assets the company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows.
Income per common share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities such as stock warrants and options. The effect of the 23,374,000 warrants have been included in the diluted weighted average shares.
For June 30, 2008, the basis shares include shares sold in the IPO, founder’s shares and shares sold in the private placement, and shares awarded to the Bridge Investors, and shares redeemed by the company. The fully diluted shares include basic shares plus the following: shares arising from the exercise of warrants sold as part of the units in the offering plus shares arising from the exercise of warrants issued to Oliveira Capital. The UPO issued to the underwriters (1,500,000 shares) is not considered in this calculation as the strike price for the UPO is “out of the money” at $6.50 per share. The historical weighted average per share, for our shares, for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, was applied using the treasury method of calculating the fully diluted shares. The calculation for fully diluted shares includes 378,511 shares and excludes 22,999,489 shares from the EPS computations.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the United States of America and Mauritius, which at times may exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalent. The company does not invest its cash in securities that have an exposure to U.S. mortgages.
Recent Pronouncements:
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) on April 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. In May 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position, FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1) which provides guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 was effective with the initial adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 or FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released SFAS 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” that is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2008. The pronouncement resulted from a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board and continues the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company will re-classify any non-controlling interests as a component of equity.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

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. 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-KSB filed on July 16, 2008.
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.
The 2008 share of infrastructure investment in India is expected to increase to 9 per cent of GDP, which is an increase from 5 per cent in 2006-07. This forecast is based on The Indian Planning Commission’s annual publication surmised that for the Eleventh Plan period (2007-12), a large investment of approximately $494 Billion would be required for Infrastructure build and modernization. The infrastructure development industry is the largest employer in India – the construction industry alone employs more than 30 million people. According to the Business Monitor International (BMI), by 2012, the construction industry’s contribution to India’s GDP is forecasted to be 16.98%. The sector is riding on a high growth wave powered by the large expenditures committed to infrastructure programs – evidenced all over the country in the form of new highways, dams, power plants and pipelines. The sectors contributing to the high growth rates are power, transport, petroleum and urban infrastructure.
Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including among others, dependency on India’s economy and government policies, competitively priced raw materials, dependence upon key members of the management team and increased competition from existing and new entrants.
Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited
Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) was incorporated as a private limited company on March 3, 1997 in Nagpur, India. Sricon is an engineering and construction company that is engaged in three business areas: 1) civil construction of highways and other heavy construction, 2) mining and quarrying and 3) the construction and maintenance of high temperature cement and steel plants. Sricon has a pan-India focus and is accredited with ISO 9001:2000 certification and its present and past clients include various Indian government organizations. Sricon employs approximately 250 skilled employees and over 800 unskilled labor contractors. It currently has the capacity and prior experience to bid on contracts that are priced at a maximum of about $116 million. Sricon recently won a $103 million contract as disclosed in a press release, a contract to build about 150 miles of rural roads including one major and 32 minor bridges.
Techni Bharathi Limited
Techni Bharathi Limited (“TBL”) was incorporated as a public (but not listed on the stock market) limited company on June 19, 1982 in Cochin, India. TBL is an engineering and construction company engaged in the execution of civil construction and structural engineering projects. TBL has a focus in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam and Tamil Nadu. Its present and past clients include various Indian government organizations.
Core Business Areas
Our core business areas include the following:
Highway and heavy construction:
The Indian government has articulated a plan to build and modernize Indian infrastructure. The government’s plan, which calls for spending over $475 billion over the next five years, includes the construction of rural roads, major highways and townships among other infrastructure. As of August 2008, we have approximately $243 million worth of contracts in our order book including a $103 million contract to build 150 miles of rural roads including 33 bridges in the state of Madhya Pradesh, and contracts for the building of highways in Assam, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh totaling around $108 million. In addition, we have smaller construction contracts amounting for about $32 million, including a construction contract for a township in Nagpur.
Mining and Quarrying
As Indian infrastructure modernizes, the demand for raw materials like stone aggregate, coal, ore and similar resources is projected to increase. In 2006, according to the Freedonia Group, India was the fourth largest stone aggregate market in the world with demand of up to 1.1 billion metric tons. Sricon has five site licenses with two installed crushers and produces approximately 600,000 metric tons of aggregate annually. The aggregate reserves in Sricon’s five quarries have a projected value of around $50 million. India is the third largest producer of coal and fourth largest producer of ore. Ten percent of the world’s coal reserves are in India. As of August 2008, we have a multiyear contract valued around $78 million for the removal of overburden from open pit coal mines and extraction of limestone. Overburden is the layers of rock and dirt covering the coal seam.
Construction and maintenance of high temperature plants
Sricon has an expertise in the civil engineering, construction and maintenance of high temperature plants. For example, we construct cement and steel plants. This requires specialized skills to build and maintain the high temperature chimneys and kilns. As of August 2008, we have a multiyear contract valued around $60 million for civil engineering and maintenance of high temperature cement plants.
Customers
Over the past 10 years, Sricon has qualified in all states in India and has worked in several, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) awards interstate highway contracts on a national level, while intra-state contracts are awarded by state agencies. The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) awards contacts for civil work associated with power plants. The National Coal Limited (NCL) awards large mining contracts. Our customers include, or have included, NHAI, NTPC, and various state public works departments. Sricon is registered across India and is qualified to bid on contracts anywhere in India.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The Indian rupee is the functional currency for the Sricon and TBL. 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:
Quarter ending | Average rate used for translating operations. INR to one U.S.D. | Rate used for translating Balance Sheet. INR to one U.S.D. |
June 30, 2007 | 41.05 | 40.58 |
March 31, 2008 | 39.73 | 40.02 |
June 30, 2008 | 41.55 | 42.93 |
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.
Our significant accounting policies are presented within Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements and the following summaries should be read in conjunction with the 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 month period ended June 30, 2008 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries and as accordingly:
Revenue is recognized based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.
Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:
a) | Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized. | ||
b) | Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable |
Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.
Revenue from property development activity is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership in the land and/or building are transferred to the customer and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer exists.
Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
As of June 30, 2008, we had not granted any stock options under our Employee Stock Plan.
Goodwill
We account for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually and written down and charged to operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles exceeds its fair value. We have elected to perform our annual impairment test in November of each calendar year. An interim goodwill impairment test would be performed if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For purposes of performing the goodwill impairment test, we concluded there is one reporting unit. During November 2007,we completed the required annual test, which indicated there was no impairment.
Accounting for Income Taxes
In connection with preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves the assessment of our net operating loss carry forwards and credits, as well as estimating the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as reserves and accrued liabilities, for tax and accounting purposes. We then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Based on historical results, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the value of our deferred tax assets and therefore have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
The following results of operations discussion compares our consolidated company results for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to the Combined Predecessor Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007. We believe this is a better measure of performance than comparing the consolidated company results to pre-acquisition results because there were no significant operating results before acquiring Sricon and TBL companies.
Revenue - Total revenues increased 441% to $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $3,311,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenue increased due to the increase in the number of new and active contracts in our contract backlog.
Operating Income (loss) - In the three month period ending June 30, 2008, operating margin is 3.7 million, compared to a loss of $59 thousand for the combined predecessor companies for the three month period ending June 30, 2007. Our operating margin increased due to the increase in the number of new and active contracts in our contract backlog.
Total Costs of Revenues and operating expenses - Our total cost of revenues and operating expenses principally consist of construction materials, employee compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, startup costs, and general and administrative expense. In the three month period ending June 30, 2008, total cost of revenue and operating expenses increased by $11 million or 325%, compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007.
Costs of Revenues - Costs of revenues consists primarily of compensation and related fringe benefits for project-related personnel, department management and all other dedicated project related costs and indirect costs. Cost of Revenue increased by $10.4 million or 379%, compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007. The increase was due to higher contract revenue during the year.
Selling, General and Administrative - Consist primarily of employee-related expenses, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We expect that in the future, selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as we add personnel and incur additional professional fees and insurance costs related to being a publicly held company. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million or 121%, compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007, due to higher scale of operations resulting from acquisitions.
Net Interest Income (Expense) – Net interest (expense) increased by $0.2 million or 110% compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2007. The increase was due to higher utilization of debt and an increase in interest rates.
Net Income (loss) – Net income increased 246% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared a loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our net income increased due to the increase in the number of new and active contracts in our contract backlog.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
This liquidity and capital resources discussion compares the consolidated company results for three months period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Predecessor cash flow statements for the three month ended period June 30, 2007 are not available.
Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations is our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the first three months of 2008, cash used for operating activities was $5.5 million compared to cash used for operating activities of $0.4 million during the first three months of 2007. The uses of cash in the first three months of 2008 relates primarily to the payment of general operating expenses of our subsidiary companies.
During the first three months of 2008, investing activities from continuing operations used $ 5.2 million of cash as compared to $27 thousand used during the comparable period in 2007. In the first quarter of 2008, we paid $1.6 million for equipment purchases and $3.5 million for short term investments.
Financing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of transactions related to our debt and equity structure. In the first three months of 2008 there was financing cash provided of approximately $4.2 million, compared to cash used of approximately $325 thousand for the first three months of 2007. The cash provided in 2008 was primarily due to use of bank credit lines. The cash used in 2007 was primarily due to repayment of long-term notes to stockholders.
Our future liquidity needs will depend on, among other factors, stability of construction costs, interest rates, and a continued increase in infrastructure contracts in India. We believe that our current cash balances and anticipated operating cash flow, will be sufficient to fund our normal operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may seek to secure additional capital to fund further growth of our business in the near term.
Commitments
1) Capital commitments
The estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account not provided for as on June 30, 2008 are USD zero.
2) Guarantees
The Company had outstanding financial / performance bank guarantees of approximately USD 4 million as of June 30, 2008.
a) | The Sricon was awarded a contract from National Highway Authority of India (‘NHAI’) in 2004-05, for restoring the Jaipur – Gurgaon National Highway 8. The total contract value was USD 5.10 million to be completed in 9 months. The entire stretch of the site was handed over on piecemeal basis without any defined schedule in contravention with contractual provisions and approved construction program and methodology. This has resulted in additional costs due to additional deployment of resources for prolonged period. Thus, Sricon invoked the escalation clause of the contract and filed a claim of USD 8.16 million. The dispute has been referred to arbitration. The Company has not recognized the claimed amounts on its books. | ||
b) | Sricon was awarded a contract from National Highway Authority of India (‘NHAI’) in 2001-02 for construction of a four lane highway on the Namkkal bypass on National Highway 7, in the state of Tamilnadu. The total contract value was USD 4 million and the construction was to have been completed by November 30, 2002. The escalation and variation claim of USD 5.27 million is pending with NHAI. An arbitration process was initiated on July 3, 2007. The company has not recognized the claim amounts on its books. | ||
c) | TBL is contingently liable to pay four-thousand dollars towards interest and penalty towards Provident Dues as per the orders of the competent authorities. |
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements, including, among others, (a) our expectations about possible business combinations, (b) our growth strategies, (c) our future financing plans, and (d) our anticipated needs for working capital. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “approximate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” or “project,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found in this report. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under our “Description of Business” and matters described in this report generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the events anticipated in the forward-looking statements may or may not occur. These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.
The information contained in this report identifies important factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information requiring disclosure in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company, under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting it in a timely manner to information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in this report other than with respect to our procedures for including the required auditor consents.
In connection with the preparation of our Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, we failed to request one of the consents from our auditors in a timely manner. This deficiency in our controls caused us to file our Form 10-KSB for fiscal the year ended March 31, 2008 one day late. We determined that this control deficiency did not result, however, in a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the Form 10-KSB.
Based on the changes and improvements made since July 16, 2008 (the date we filed our Form 10-KSB), our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, believes that we have designed and implemented a new controls environment to address the weakness described above. Such remediation activities involved assigning the principal financial officer with the responsibility of requesting consents from our auditors, allocating additional personnel to the disclosure process, adopting written disclosure controls and procedures, forming a disclosure controls committee that will consider the materiality of information and determine disclosure obligations on a timely basis and engaging outside counsel to review to future SEC filings.
With these programs in place, we believe our control procedures sufficiently effective to ensure that information requiring inclusion or disclosure in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended June 30, 2008, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
