INDIA GLOBALIZATION CAPITAL, INC.
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Overview of India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC”)
India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”), was incorporated in April 2005 under the laws of the state of Maryland, and through its subsidiaries in the USA, India, Hong Kong and Malaysia, is engaged in two major business segments - The first is a legacy infrastructure business consisting of heavy equipment rental, trading infrastructure related commodities, and real estate management. The second is development of cannabis-based combination therapies with a pipeline of products, including lead candidate, Hyalolex, designed to improve the lives of patients battling Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, and eating disorders and a long-term focus on developing blockchain technologies to solve critical issues facing the Cannabis industry.
b) Changes in subsidiaries
IGC closed its Hong Kong based direct subsidiary IGC Clean Tech, and our India based subsidiary Techni Bharathi Private Limited (“TBL”), in the quarter ended December 31, 2017, beneficially incorporated as its Hong Kong based subsidiary IGC Enterprise that is involved in trading. TBL paid a premium of $745 for the 100% beneficial ownership.
c) Basis of presentation and use of estimates
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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. In preparing the financial statements management is required to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. 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 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Therefore, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and respective notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on July 14, 2017. 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. The Company consolidates the subsidiaries into its consolidated financial statements. Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
d) Presentation of functional currencies
In the quarter ended December 31, 2017, in addition to the US, IGC operates in India, Hong Kong and Malaysia and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in USD, INR, and RM. As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and INR or the RM affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2017, the Company has (i) a balance of $98,185 due and payable to our CEO inclusive of certain unpaid salaries from previous years and (ii) a secured loan at zero interest from spouse of our CEO in the amount of $244,412.
We pay an affiliate of our CEO $4,500 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services rendered in Maryland. In addition, we pay another affiliate of our CEO $6,100 per month for office and facilities in Washington State. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and Washington State that the fee charged by the affiliates are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party and these payments are not considered, or meant to be compensation to our CEO. The rental agreement for the Maryland location is on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated by our Board of Directors of the Company at any time without notice. The rental agreement for Washington State facilities expired on December 31, 2017, and it was renewed in January 2018 by mutual consent for 1 more year. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the total rent paid to one of the affiliates for the office space (and services) in Maryland was $13,500. $36,600 is payable to one of the affiliates for the rental of the facilities in Washington State. As on December 31, 2017, an amount of $82,147 is due to RGF Cabaran’s director. For December 31, 2017 there was no loan balance due to the Director of Cabaran.
Loans by Related Parties:
We have a secured working capital loan that has a loan balance of $195,061 as of December 31, 2017 and $97,500 as of March 31, 2017 from affiliates of our CEO, at an annual interest rate of zero percent, due February 23, 2022.

NOTE 16 – IMPAIRMENT

NOTE 17 – INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
Interest and other income for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $1,090 and $359,104, respectively, and included income received from the supply of skilled operators for the heavy equipment rental business and from the rent of the apartment belonging to TBL, which is in Kochi, India.
NOTE 18 – RECONCILIATION OF EPS
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the period ended December 31, 2017 excludes potentially dilutive securities of 1,815,667 shares underlying share purchase options and warrants, and 29,768 shares from the conversion of outstanding units because their inclusion would be antidilutive.
The historical weighted average per share for our shares through December 31, 2017, was applied using the treasury method of calculating the fully diluted shares. The weighted average number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 28,169,292 and 27,446,095, respectively. Due to the loss incurred during the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, all the potential equity shares are anti-dilutive and accordingly, the fully diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS.
NOTE 19 – INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The management considers historical and projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for both the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company has US deferred tax assets, which have been offset by valuation allowance because of historical and expected losses. As the Company reverses its losses and becomes profitable, we will reassess the likelihood of recovering a portion or all of the deferred tax assets.
The Company recorded an income tax gain/expense of $0 resulting from operational results of its foreign entities for both three-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2017, IGC could not use its net operating losses.
NOTE 20 – 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 components of an enterprise that have distinct financial information available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) to decide how to allocate resources and evaluate 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. The Company has determined that it operates as two operating and reportable segments: Pharmaceutical, and Legacy. Therefore, the Company has commenced reporting two segments.
Our legacy infrastructure business (“Legacy”, “Legacy Business””) that consists of trading, real-estate management, and heavy equipment leasing is one operating and reportable segment. The other is the pharmaceutical segment that did not have revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 21 – CERTAIN AGED RECEIVABLES
The receivable and other assets as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, include certain aged receivables in the amount of $437,571. The aged receivables are due from the Cochin International Airport. Cochin International Airport is partially owned by the State Government of Kerala. The receivables have been due for periods in excess of one year as of December 31, 2017. These receivables are included in accounts receivable and have been classified as current because the arbitration process has concluded, and ruling was given in our favor. The Company continues to carry the full value of the receivables without interest and without any impairment, because the Company believes that there is minimal risk that this organization will become insolvent and unable to make payment.
NOTE 22 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s current assets and current liabilities approximate their carrying value because of their short-term nature. Such financial instruments are classified as current and are expected to be liquidated within the next twelve months.
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 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2017. 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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2017, including the risk factors set out in Item 1A therein. Therefore, the financial statements included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2017.
Company Background
IGC has two lines of business. The first is a legacy infrastructure business, which consists of heavy equipment rental, trading infrastructure related commodities, and real estate management. The second is a cannabis pharmaceutical business that has developed a lead product, Hyalolex, for treating patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The Company recently announced that it is working on using blockchain to address issues specific to the cannabis industry including transactional difficulties, product labeling, product identification assurance (PIA), and product origin assurance (POA).
Business Strategy
Our long-term goal is to establish IGC as a specialty-pharmaceutical provider of phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical and Complimentary Alternative Medicine (“CAM”, “nutraceutical”) products and grow our trading in business in South Asia. Our short-term goal is to conduct human and veterinarian medical trials on our four product candidates. Our medium-term goal is to market CAM based therapies through joint ventures and partnerships.

Products
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that exert a range of effects on the body, including impacting the immune response, gastrointestinal maintenance and motility, muscle functioning, and nervous system response and functioning. Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids that occur naturally in the cannabis plant, they are abundant in the viscous resin produced by glandular structures called trichomes. There are over 480 different compounds in the cannabis plant. Many of them have been identified as cannabinoids. Of these THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive component (“high”) in the plant with many therapeutic uses. The other broadly pursued non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid, CBD (Cannabidiol), is pleiotropic influencing many pathways in humans, dogs, and cats and may be used to provide relief to a variety of symptoms including pain, seizures, and eating disorders.
The Company is focused on four products that it is preparing for pre-clinical trials: Natrinol is a natural substitute for Marinol, or synthetic THC. This product is aimed at relieving nausea, vomiting and increasing appetite in patients with AIDS and Cancer. Caesafin uses combination therapy to alleviate seizures in dogs and cats. Serosapse addresses several end points in Parkinson’s disease including Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep disorder, anxiety, and dyskinesia. Hyalolex is aimed at reducing the buildup of plaques, tangles and relieve several other end symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disorder and agitation in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. We expect to launch Hyalolex in select medical dispensaries in medical cannabis states in the U.S. in early 2018.
Services
The Company trades commodities, provides real estate management, and rents heavy equipment. The heavy equipment rental business is based in India. The commodity trading business is based in India and Hong Kong. The real estate management business is based in Malaysia. This business is our main sources of revenue. In each case we have less than 1% of the market.
Patents, Development Pipeline, and Licenses
Although, the Company believes the registration of patents is an important part of its business strategy and its success depends in part on such registration, the Company cannot guarantee that such patent filings will result in a successful registration with the USPTO. Please see risk factors.
We have filed six provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), in the phytocannabinoid-based combination therapy space, for the indications of pain, medical refractory epilepsy, and cachexia. In addition, in May 2017, we acquired an exclusive license to a patent filed by the University of South Florida Research Foundation entitled “THC as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer’s Disease”.

In the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, the revenue consisted of trading, real estate management, and rental of heavy equipment. The increase in revenue during the same period in 2017 is from an increase in the volume and underlining commodity involved in the trading.

Critical Accounting Policies
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.
Please see our disclosures on Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 14, 2017 for a discussion of all our significant accounting policies.
Forward-Looking Statements and Important Factors
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. This report and the documents incorporated in this report by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Additionally, we, or our representatives may, from time to time, make other written or verbal forward-looking statements and discuss plans, expectations and objectives regarding our business, financial condition and results of operations. Without limiting the foregoing, statements that are in the future tense, and all statements accompanied by terms such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “trend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “assume,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “preliminary,” “will likely result,” “will continue” and variations of them and similar terms are intended to be “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal securities laws. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based upon assumptions, expectations, plans and projections. Forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on July 14, 2017, and in the documents incorporated by reference that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when they are made. Except as required by federal securities law, we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements.
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and its principal financial and accounting officer (PFAO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and PFAO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms; and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017 which were identified in conjunction with Management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our CEO and PFAO, do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
