FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 cash and cash equivalents included deposits in Kazakhstan banks in the amount $40,842 and $224,163, respectively, and deposits in U.S. banks in the amount of $51,786,905 and $201,882, respectively. Kazakhstan banks are not covered by FDIC insurance, nor does the Republic of Kazakhstan have an insurance program similar to FDIC. Therefore, the full amount of the Companys deposits in Kazakhstan banks was uninsured as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011. The Companys deposits in U.S. banks are also in non-FDIC insured accounts which means they too are not insured to the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit. To mitigate this risk, the Company has placed all of its U.S. deposits in a money market account that invests in U.S. Government backed securities. |
