This document contains statements and claims that are not approved by the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”), including statements on hemp and hemp extracts including cannabidiol and other cannabinoids. These statements and claims are intended to be in compliance with state laws, specifically in states where medical cannabis has been legalized, and the diseases which we anticipate our products will target are approved conditions for treatment or usage with cannabis/cannabinoids. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based upon assumptions, expectations, plans and projections subject to risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” set forth in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, filed with the SEC (“Securities and Exchange Commission”) on June 14, 2019, 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.

| June 30, 2019 Form 10-Q
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) as determined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) within its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the Fiscal 2019, filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019, specifically in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
The interim statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s Management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the GAAP 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.
Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the interim statements are prudent and reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions are generally used for, but not limited to: allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; future obligations under employee benefit plans; the useful lives of property, plant, equipment; intangible assets; valuations; impairment of goodwill and investments; recoverability of advances; the valuation of options granted and warrants issued; and income tax and deferred tax valuation allowances, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Critical accounting estimates could change from period to period and could have a material impact on IGC’s results, operations, financial position and cash flows. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Presentation and functional currencies
IGC operates in India, U.S., and Hong Kong and a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues are denominated in the Indian Rupee (“INR”) or the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The local currency is the functional currency for the operations outside the U.S. Changes in the exchange rates between this currency and the Company’s reporting currency, are partially responsible for some of the periodic changes in the consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”) at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. Revenues and expenses of the Company’s foreign operations are translated at the average exchange rate during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment
No impairment has been recorded for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
| June 30, 2019 Form 10-Q
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, or at sales price (fair value) less costs of disposal when certain conditions are met. The term market means current replacement cost, provided that it meets both the following conditions: a) market shall not exceed the net realizable value, and b) market shall not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category. These assumptions about future disposition of inventory are inherently uncertain and changes in our estimates and assumptions may cause us to realize material write-downs in the future.
Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods and work-in progress such as extracted crude oil, growing crops and crude oil in process. The costs of growing cannabis including but not limited to labor, utilities, fertilizers and irrigation, are capitalized into inventory until the time of harvest. It is primarily accounted for using the weighted average cost method. Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and the depreciation of manufacturing equipment. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance and property taxes.
Crops are segregated into “growing crops” and “harvested crops”. Growing crops are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Direct and indirect development costs of groves, orchards and vineyards are required to be capitalized during the development period and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the particular asset. Harvested crops are measured at sales price less costs of disposal, with changes recognized in profit or loss only when the harvested crop:
- has a reliable, readily determinable and realizable market value;
- has relatively insignificant and predictable costs of disposal; and
- is available for immediate delivery.
See Note 3, Inventory of this report for further information.
Fair value of financial instruments
FASB ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities, which is approximate to their fair values due to the nature of the items.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s short-term investment consists of mutual fund, which have been classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they have been valued using quoted prices in active markets. Company’s cash and cash equivalents have also been classified as Level 1 on the same principle. Financial instruments are classified as current if they are expected to be liquidated within the next twelve months. Company’s remaining investments have been classified as Level 3 instruments as there is little or no market data. Level 3 investments are valued using cost-method. For further information refer Note 7 – Investments in Unlisted Securities, which is classified as non-current asset.

Earnings/(Loss) per Share
The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019, excludes potentially dilutive securities of 3.4 million shares which includes share options, unvested shares granted to employees, warrants, and shares from the conversion of outstanding units, if any, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 39,508,110 and 30,981,422, respectively. Due to the loss incurred during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, all the potential equity shares are anti-dilutive and accordingly, the fully diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS.
Leases
Lessor
For leases that are accounted for as operating leases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract.
Generally, when a lease is more than 180 days delinquent (where more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on nonaccrual and the Company stops recognizing leasing income on that date. Payments received on leases in nonaccrual status generally reduce the lease receivable. Leases on nonaccrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in the Company’s judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full.
| June 30, 2019 Form 10-Q
Lessee
The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases. On certain lease agreements, the Company may receive rent holidays and other incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments.
The Company has operating leases primarily consisting of office spaces with the remaining lease term being less than 12 months, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. The total operating lease expense and cash paid for operating leases for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 are $39 thousand and $37 thousand respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted
ASC 842, Leases
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements; and ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors.

For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, changes have been made to align certain lessor and lessee accounting guidance and the key aspects of the lessor accounting model with new revenue recognition standard. Under the new guidance, contract consideration will be allocated to its lease components and non-lease components (such as maintenance). For the Company as a lessor, any non-lease components will be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, unless the Company elects a lessor practical expedient to not separate the non-lease components from the associated lease component. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 also provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (“Topic 606”). To elect the practical expedient, the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components must be the same and the lease component must meet the criteria to be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. If these criteria are met, the single component will be accounted for under either under Topic 842 or Topic 606 depending on which component(s) are predominant. The lessor practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated component must be elected for all existing and new leases.
As lessor, the Company expects that post-adoption substantially all existing leases will have no change in the timing of revenue recognition until their expiration or termination. The Company expects to elect the lessor practical expedient to not separate non-lease components such as maintenance from the associated lease for all existing and new leases and to account for the combined component as a single lease component. The timing of revenue recognition is expected to be the same for the majority of the Company’s new leases as compared to similar existing leases; however, certain categories of new leases could have different revenue recognition patterns as compared to similar existing leases.
Lessee Accounting
The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. In connection with the adoption, the Company will elect to utilize the modified retrospective presentation whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company will elect the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, the Company will adopt a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets.
The Company has concluded that all lease arrangements would be classified as short-term in nature and as such, not recorded on the balance sheet. The standard did not materially affect the Company's consolidated net earnings or have any impact on cash flows.
The Company adopted the guidance as of April 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the financial statements. Additional information and disclosures required by this new standard for the Company as a lessor are contained above.

Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial instruments. The amendments in this update change how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The amendment is effective from December 15, 2022, due to the tentative decisions made by the FASB at its July 17, 2019 Board Meeting. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update.
Disclosures: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13. Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the standard apply to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update.
Collaborative Arrangement: Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which clarifies when transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement are within the scope of the FASB’s revenue standard, Topic 606. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update.
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 (Subtopic 350-40) aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update.

Pursuant to the December 18, 2014 Purchase Agreement with Apogee, we issued Apogee 1.2 million shares of IGC’s common stock valued at $888 thousand for the purchase of a 24.9% ownership interest in Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“MTP”). During Fiscal 2018, after considering several factors, the Company concluded that it no longer had significant influence over MTP. Hence, we do not record any impact from MTP’s earnings/(losses) and instead we maintain the same value of approximately $773 thousand since Fiscal 2018. |
The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to determine if any security is other-than-temporarily impaired, which would require the Company to record an impairment charge in the period. We concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, no impairment provision was required against the carrying value of investments.

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
FASB ASC No. 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM evaluates revenues and gross profits based on product lines and routes to market. Based on our integration and Management strategies, we operate in two reportable segments: (i) Infrastructure Business and (ii) Plant and Cannabinoids Business.
The Company’s CODM is considered to be the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Therefore, and before our Plant and Cannabinoid Business started, the Company had determined that it operated in a single operating and reportable segment. As of the date of this report and in preparation for the new and different source of revenue, the Company has determined that it operates in two operating and reportable segments: a) Infrastructure Business and b) Plant and Cannabinoid Business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is to provide an understanding of the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and 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 for the three-months ended June 30, 2019, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause differences include those discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section, as well as discussed elsewhere in this report. The risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ significantly from those in our forward-looking statements or implied in historical results and trends. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us, which speak only as of the date they are made. We disclaim any obligation, except as specifically required by law and the rules of the SEC, to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our primary source of revenue in the three-months ended June 30, 2019 and the three-months ended June 30, 2018 is from our Infrastructure Business. The Company’s Infrastructure Business, involves:
|
(i) |
Short-term rental of heavy construction equipment including bulldozers, excavators, rollers and pavers, among others. |
|
(ii) |
Bidding and execution of construction contracts. Our subsidiary TBL, with over 30 years of experience with infrastructure projects, recently began work on a construction project, building and modifying a road in Kerala, India. In January 2019, TBL received a construction contract for the building of a National Highway Authority of India (“NHAI”) sponsored local highway for approximately $0.6 million. |
|
(iii) |
The purchase and resale of physical commodities, used in infrastructure, such as steel, marble and tiles, among others. |
Our second line of business is the Plant and Cannabinoid Business, which stems from plant material and cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant. The Company’s strategy is to create, build, and manage several brands of plant and cannabinoid-based products and therapies, such as Hyalolex™, Serosapse™, Natrinol™, and Holi Hemp™, among others. As part of this strategy, the Company expects to secure the quantity, availability, and effective cost of its supply chain by setting up and controlling facilities that grow and extract the active ingredients for our products. In addition, we are also exploring acquisitions, investments, or the creation of joint ventures with competitive and complementary businesses, products and technologies. As market demand for hemp grows, as predicted by some analysts, we expect to sell these and other products on a retail and wholesale basis. As previously announced, our product mix is expected to include hemp/CBD-infused drinks including energy drink; tincture; full spectrum oil; hemp distillate; and hemp isolate, among others. The Company operates its Plant and Cannabinoid Business in compliance with federal, state, and local laws and only where it is legal to do so.

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, inventory, accounts receivable, income taxes, foreign currency translation, impairment of long-lived assets and investments, stock-based compensation, and cybersecurity. We have a cybersecurity policy in place and tighter cybersecurity measures to safeguard against hackers. There were no impactful breaches in cybersecurity in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. There are no such matters that are deemed material to the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019. As described under Note 16 – Subsequent event, we have reached a memorandum of understanding of the derivative lawsuits.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company was a party to four (4) shareholder lawsuits, as follows:
Shareholder Class Action Litigation:
Tchatchou v. India Globalization Capital, Inc., et al., 8:18-cv-03396 (U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland)
On November 2, 2018, IGC shareholder Alde-Binet Tchatchou instituted a shareholder class action complaint on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. IGC, Ram Mukunda, Richard Prins, and Sudhakar Shenoy were named as defendants. On May 13, 2019, the plaintiff in the Tchatchou litigation filed an amended complaint against IGC, Mukunda, and Claudia Grimaldi, thereby removing Prins and Shenoy as defendants. The plaintiff in Tchatchou alleges that IGC, Mukunda, and Grimaldi violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, SEC Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and made false and misleading statements to the public by issuing a September 25, 2018 press release entitled “IGC to Enter the Hemp/CBD-Infused Energy Drink Space,” in which IGC announced it had “executed a distribution and partnership agreement” for the sugar-free energy drink named Nitro G, as well as through related public statements. The plaintiff in Tchatchou has not publicly disclosed the amount of damages they seek. On February 28, 2019, all pending shareholder class actions were consolidated, and the Tchatchou litigation was designated as the lead case.
Harris-Carr v. India Globalization Capital, Inc., et al., 8:18-cv-03408 (U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland)
On November 2, 2018, IGC shareholder Gabe Harris-Carr instituted a shareholder class action complaint on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. IGC, Ram Mukunda, and Claudia Grimaldi were named as defendants. On February 28, 2019, all pending shareholder class actions, including the Harris-Carr litigation, were consolidated, and the Tchatchou litigation, described above, was designated as the lead case. On May 13, 2019, the plaintiff in the Tchatchou litigation filed an amended complaint, which becomes the operative complaint for the consolidated matter and supersedes the Harris-Carr complaint.
For the current state of affairs regarding these Shareholder Class Action Litigation, please refer to Note 16 - Subsequent Events.

Shareholder Derivative Action Litigation:
Erny v. Mukunda, et al., 1:18-cv-03698 (U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland)
On November 30, 2018, IGC shareholder Gene Erny instituted a shareholder derivative complaint on behalf of IGC in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Ram Mukunda, Claudia Grimaldi, Rohit Goel, Richard Prins, and Sudhakar Shenoy were named as defendants, and IGC was named as a nominal defendant. The Erny litigation represents a claim made by a shareholder on behalf of the Company (as opposed to against the Company). The complaint in the Erny litigation alleges that the Company should have filed suit against the individual defendants – Mukunda, Grimaldi, Goel, Prins, and Shenoy (collectively referred to as the “Individual Defendants”) – for securities fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff in Erny alleges that, through the individual defendants, the Company made false and misleading statements, and the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties, as follows: “Under the direction and watch of the Individual Defendants, the [Company’s] 2018 Proxy Statement failed to disclose that: (1) the Company had substantially discontinued the business it was conducting at the time that it was initially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and was instead engaged in ventures or promotions that had not been developed to a commercial stage or the success of which is problematical; (2) the Company adapted its business model frequently and radically in an attempt to lure investors seeking to capitalize on market fads, such as blockchain and cannabinoids; (3) the benefits of the Company’s relationships with manufacturers, partners, and distributors were overstated in order to create a misleadingly positive impression of IGC’s potential commercial success; (4) DaMa Pharmaceutical does not have a long history of developing premier pharmaceutical products; (5) as a result of the foregoing, IGC’s stock would be suspended from the New York Stock Exchange and potentially delisted; (6) the Company failed to maintain internal controls; and (7) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.” The plaintiff in the Erny litigation further alleges that the “Individual Defendants also caused the [Company’s] 2018 Proxy Statement to be false and misleading with regard to executive compensation in that they purported to employ ‘pay-for-performance’ elements while failing to disclose that the Company’s share price was being artificially inflated by the false and misleading statements made by the Individual Defendants as alleged herein, and therefore any compensation based on the Company’s financial performance was artificially inflated. The false and misleading elements of the 2018 Proxy Statement led to the reelection of Defendant Prins, which allowed him to continue breaching his fiduciary duties to IGC.” Because the claims made in Erny are asserted against the individual defendants, as opposed to the Company, the Company is merely a nominal defendant. The Company will monitor the case and proceed as appropriate under the circumstances as and if the matter progresses. The Company has retained counsel for that purpose.
On January 28, 2019, the court issued a consent order staying proceedings in the Erny litigation pending resolution of an anticipated motion to dismiss to be filed by IGC, Mukunda, and Grimaldi in the Tchatchou matter, described above. On May 9, 2019, Erny and Hamdan, described below, were consolidated, and the Erny litigation was designated as the lead derivative case.
Hamdan v. Mukunda, et al., 8:19-cv-00493 (U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland)
On February 20, 2019, IGC shareholder Waseem Hamdan instituted a shareholder derivative complaint on behalf of IGC in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Ram Mukunda, Claudia Grimaldi, Rohit Goel, Richard Prins, and Sudhakar Shenoy were named as defendants, and IGC was named as a nominal defendant. The allegations made by the plaintiff in the Hamdan litigation are substantially similar to the allegations made in Erny, and the claims against the individual director defendants are based on the same alleged transactions and/or occurrences as are the claims made in the Erny litigation. Because the claims made in Hamdan are asserted against the individual defendants, as opposed to the Company, the Company is merely a nominal defendant. On May 9, 2019, Erny and Hamdan were consolidated, with the Erny litigation, described above, designated as the lead case. As a result of the consolidation, the Hamdan litigation became subject to the January 28, 2019 order entered in the Erny litigation staying proceedings pending resolution of an anticipated motion to dismiss to be filed by IGC, Mukunda, and Grimaldi in the Tchatchou matter, described above.
| June 30, 2019 Form 10-Q
Patel v. Mukunda, et al., 8:19-cv-01673 (U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland)
On June 6, 2019, IGC shareholder Dimple Patel instituted a shareholder derivative complaint on behalf of IGC in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Ram Mukunda, Claudia Grimaldi, Rohit Goel, Richard Prins, Shajy Mathilakathu, and Sudhakar Shenoy were named as defendants, and IGC was named as a nominal defendant. The Patel litigation represents a claim made by a shareholder on behalf of the Company (as opposed to against the Company). The complaint in the Patel litigation alleges that the Company should have filed suit against the individual defendants – Mukunda, Grimaldi, Goel, Prins, Mathilakathu, and Shenoy (collectively referred to as the “Individual Defendants”) – for breach of fiduciary duty. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Individual Defendants “violated their duty of good faith by knowingly causing and/or recklessly allowing the Company to make false and misleading statements and/or fail[ed] to disclose that: (i) [IGC] substantially discontinued the business that it conducted at the time it began trading on the NYSE; (ii) the Company had become engaged in ventures or promotions which have not developed to a commercial stage; (iii) cannabis-related products, including CBD-based beverages, are illegal in Malaysia; (iv) neither IGC nor Treasure Network was a licensed manufacturer of cannabis-based products in Malaysia; (v) CBD-infused Nitro G was not an approved and registered product under Malaysian law; (vi) Treasure Network, founded in 2017, was not “experienced” (vii) Treasure Network was a distributor, not a manufacturer; (viii) at all relevant times, the Individual Defendants had the ability to exercise substantial control over Treasure Network; (ix) consequently, the Company was not an operating company for the purposes of continued trading and listing on the NYSE American; and (x) as a result, India Globalization’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.” Because the claims made in the Patel litigation are asserted against the individual defendants, as opposed to the Company, the Company is merely a nominal defendant. The Company will monitor the case and proceed as appropriate under the circumstances as and if the matter progresses. The Company has retained counsel for that purpose. The Patel litigation has not been consolidated with Erny and Hamdan to date. The Company anticipates that, if it becomes appropriate in the future, it may seek to consolidate the Patel litigation with the Erny derivative litigation described herein.
For the current state of affairs regarding these Shareholder Class Action Litigation, please refer to Note 16 - Subsequent Events.
