EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this Amendment) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the Original Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 29, 2008. We are filing this Amendment in response to a comment letter received from the SEC in connection with its review of the Original Annual Report to amended the disclosure in Item 9A(T), Controls and Procedures. in this Amendment to modify and enhance our disclosure regarding managements annual report on internal control over financial reporting described in Item 9A(T) and to correct an omission of certain disclosures in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, the certifications by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Except as described above, no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures presented in the Original Annual Report. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Annual Report or modify or update those disclosures, including the exhibits to the Original Annual Report affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Annual Report, including any amendments to those filings.
Item 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to Trans-India Acquisition Corporations management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our Treasurer and Secretary and effected by our board of directors and management, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. As a blank check company, managements activities are limited to managing the companys working capital funds outside of the trust account and related expenses associated with its efforts to identify a target business and consummate a business combination. All such transactions are approved by the board of directors and effected directly by our management according to such process and adopted policies and procedures.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as referred to above as of December 31, 2007 as required by Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007 based on those criteria.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
