Amendment Description This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the "Amendment") amends the Form 10-K of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2013 (the "Original Filing"). This Amendment is being filedto supplement the following sections of the Form 10-K for the purpose of providing additional disclosure in response to comments received from the Staff of the SEC in connection with a review of our Form 10-K:General To comply with the guidance provided by Industry Guide 7 we revised our disclosures and: (a)deleted references to "reserves,""estimated reserves"and those estimated values associated with mineral reserves;(b)changed all references to"production" and "mining" to "beneficiation;" (c) made specific reference to "iron ore" as opposed to simply "ore;" (d) clarified and specifically disclosed that currently we do not have exploration activities or exploration plans. Overview, Background and Effects of Restatement In this amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, India Globalization Capital, Inc. has made the following changes a) For fiscal year ended March 31, 2012: 1. Restated its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of cash flows; 2. Improved the disclosures on the notes to consolidated financial statements. b) For fiscal year ended March 31, 2013: 1. Restated its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of cash flows; 2. Amended its management discussion and analysis as it relates to the year ended March 31, 2013. 3. Improved the disclosures on the notes to consolidated financial statements. The restatements reflect adjustments to correct errors identified by the SEC through its original and follow up comment letters dated January 28, 2014, April 2, 2014 and May 27, 2014. The restatement adjustments reflect a reclassification in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of cash flows. The changes described above are non-cash items and do not impact the Company's operations. Reclassification in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets The goodwill and intangible assets for both fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 were disclosed as combined amounts under a single line item. The mentioned consolidated balance sheets have now been restated to disclose goodwill and intangible assets as separate line items. Reclassification in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows For fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the cash paid for interest under the supplementary information as well as the common stock issued for exchange of notes payable were mistakenly reported as NIL. Also, the line called "common stock issued for exchange of notes payable" did not accurately described the amounts shown. This line has been edited to read "Common stock issued for to pay interest and penalty/exchange of Notes Payable." These two line items are now been reported as $239,451 cash paid for interest and $2,543,775 for common stock issued to pay interest and penalty/exchange of Notes Payable. For fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the non-cash interest expense, under cash flows from operating activities, and the cash paid for interest, under the supplementary information, were mistakenly reported as $114,654 and NIL, respectively. These two line items are now been reported as $501,300 non-cash interest expense and $32,582 cash paid for interest. Also, the change to the amount disclosed under non-cash interest expense caused the following adjustments: i) net cash used in operating activities from $178,199 to $564,845; ii) Proceeds from loans from $610,951 to $224,305; iii) Net cash provided/(used) by financing activities from $414,337 to $27,691.
