FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain “forward-looking statements.” 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. Such statements are based on currently available information, which management has assessed but which is dynamic and subject to rapid change due to risks and uncertainties that affect our business. Our success is highly correlated with the success of our product candidates. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately or receive patents. We may not receive regulatory approval for our products, or trials. An additional risk factor worth highlighting specifically related to the patent licensing described herein is that the patent applications we have licensed may not be granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), even if the Company is in full compliance with USPTO requirements. We may not have adequate resources including financial resources, to successfully conduct all requisite clinical trials, to bring a product based on the above-referenced patented formulations to market, or to pay applicable maintenance fees over time. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our products even if they are successful and receive regulatory approval. The Company may not be able to complete human trials, or, once conducted, human trial testing results may not be favorable or as anticipated.  Our projections anticipate stable pricing, which may not hold out over the next several years. Failure or delay with respect to any of the factors above could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, our stock price, and our financial condition. Precautions including social distancing, travel restrictions, among others, surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to delays and a more expensive trial.  This document also 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, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 13, 2020, 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.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

 

Business

 

IGC has two segments: Infrastructure and Life Sciences. The Company’s Infrastructure Business, managed from India, involves: (a) the execution of construction contracts, (b) the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure and (c) the rental of heavy construction equipment. Information about our infrastructure products and service offerings is available at www.igcinc.us. Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily derived from this segment.

 

The Company’s Life Sciences segment, formerly known as the Plant and Cannabinoid business, managed from the United States (“U.S.”), involves: (a) the development of potential new drugs, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, (b) several CBD-based and non-CBD-based products and brands in various stages of development, for sale online and through stores, including non-CBD-based hand sanitizers, among others, (c) wholesale of hemp extracts including hemp crude extract and hemp isolate, among others, (d) hemp growing and processing facilities, (e) white labeling of hemp-based products and (f) the offering of tolling services like extraction and distillation to hemp farmers. Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily derived from this segment.

 

The current COVID-19 pandemic and the associated social distancing and reduced foot traffic to stores continues to adversely impact our ability to distribute products and provide services.

 

The Company’s principal office in the U.S. is in Maryland, and the Company has a facility in Washington State and offices in Colombia, Hong Kong, and India.

 

Business updates

 

 

On July 30, 2020, IGC received notice from the FDA to proceed with a 12-subject Phase 1 human clinical trial (“removal of full clinical hold”) on its Investigational New Drug Application (“INDA”), submitted under Section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, for IGC-AD1. The Phase 1 trial will involve a randomized placebo controlled Multiple Ascending Dose (“MAD”) study to evaluate safety and tolerability of IGC-AD1 in subjects with mild to severe dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the study will evaluate pharmacokinetics (“PK”) and collect data on other factors. The Company’s IGC-AD1 formulation is based on a patent filed by the University of South Florida (“USF”) that uses a cannabinoid as one of the active ingredients. The Company has exclusive rights to the patent filing.

 

The Company has suffered losses and setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including being delayed in executing an ongoing construction contract, being unable to commission equipment, and having to slow down operations because of COVID-19.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company manufactured and distributed alcohol-based hand sanitizers. The majority of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, is from the sale of hand sanitizers. In an effort to help some of the hardest hit communities, we donated hand sanitizers to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), the Navajo Indians in Arizona, the Crow Indian reservation in Montana, and the Sioux reservation in South Dakota.

 

The Company is executing a road building contract in Kerala, India valued at approximately $1.1 million. The Company estimates that it will take between 12 and 15 months to complete the work. Work on this project has been temporarily delayed due to COVID-19. We expect to re-start the project as soon as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, and we are able to deploy our work force.   

 

On July 17, 2020, the Company filed a provisional patent application with the USPTO for its IGC-511 formulation for Cannabidiol based composition and method for treating pain.

 

On July 6, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland entered an order formally and finally approving the January 2020 formal settlement agreement between the derivative plaintiffs, the Company, and the named defendant directors and officers, thereby resolving all pending derivative suits. All derivative actions have now been formally terminated. Please refer Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings.

 

On May 12, 2020, the Company completed an investment under the terms of a Share Subscription Agreement (“SSA”) with Evolve I, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Evolve”), by transferring part of the consideration to Evolve. As of June 30, 2020, the Company owns an approximately 19.8% interest in Evolve.

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. (“U.S. GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) within its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and under the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal 2020, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020, 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 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 U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions are generally used for, but not limited to: allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales returns; normal loss during production; 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

  

Presentation and functional currencies

 

IGC operates in India, U.S., Colombia and Hong Kong and a substantial portion of the Company’s financials are denominated in the Indian Rupee (INR), the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) or the Colombian Peso (COP). As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. Dollar (USD), the INR, the HKD or the COP affect financial statements.

 

 

 | June 30, 2020 Form 10-Q

 

The accompanying financial statements are reported in USD. The INR, HKD and COP are the functional currencies for certain subsidiaries of the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. 

 

Reclassifications 

 

Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. A short-term loan in the amount of approximately $50 thousand has been reclassified to non-current liability from current liability.

 

Impairment of long – lived assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained declines in revenues or earnings, future anticipated cash flows, business plans and material adverse changes in the economic climate, such as changes in operating environment, competitive information and impact of changes in government policies. For assets that the Company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets. For assets, the Company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows. Unlike goodwill, long-lived assets are assessed for impairment only where there are any specific indicators for impairment.

 

No impairment has been recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019. 

 

Short-term and long-term investments

 

Our policy for short-term and long-term investments is to establish a high-quality portfolio that preserves principal, meets liquidity needs, avoids inappropriate concentrations, and delivers an appropriate yield in relationship to our investment guidelines and market conditions. Short-term and long-term investments consist of corporate, various government agency and municipal debt securities, as well as certificates of deposit that have maturity dates that are greater than 90 days. Certificates of deposit and commercial paper are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Available-for-sale securities: Investments in debt securities that are classified as available for sale shall be measured subsequently at fair value in the statement of financial position.

 

Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs. Where the Company’s ownership interest is in excess of 20% and the Company has a significant influence, the Company has accounted for the investment based on the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, “Investments – Equity method and Joint Ventures”. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the equity investee is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and its share of post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) is recognized in other comprehensive income / (loss). Where the Company does not have significant influence, the Company has accounted for the investment in accordance with ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities”.

 

As of June 30, 2020, investment in marketable securities is valued at fair value and investment in non-marketable securities with ownership less than 20% is valued at cost as per ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities”.

Stock – Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite vesting period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. For stock-based employee compensation cost recognized at any date will be at least equal to the amount attributable to the share-based compensation that is vested at that date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent Management’s best estimates. The closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant is considered the fair-value of the share. The volatility factor is determined based on the Company’s historical stock prices. The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends. Equity awards issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the grant date as they are immediately exercisable and not forfeitable on the date of grant.

 

Accounts receivable

 

We make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable by analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required. We had $264 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for doubtful debt of $9 thousand as of June 30, 2020, as compared to $133 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for doubtful debt of $9 thousand as of March 31, 2020.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net realizable value defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.

 

Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods related to wellness products, hand sanitizers, finished CBD products, among others as well as work-in-progress such as extracted crude oil, CBD isolate, growing crops, and herbal oils, among others. Work-in-progress also includes product manufacturing in process, costs of growing hemp, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations including but not limited to labor, utilities, fertilizers and irrigation. Inventory 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.

 

Harvested crops are measured at net realizable value, 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.

 

The Company believes its harvested crops do not have a readily available market. Hence, the Company values its harvested crops at cost. Please refer note – “Note 3 - Inventory”, for further information.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 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.

 

 

 | June 30, 2020 Form 10-Q

 

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instrument includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items. Please refer to Note 16 - “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further information.
 

Earnings/(Loss) per Share

 

The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 3.2 million shares which includes share options, unvested shares such as restricted shares and restricted share units, granted to employees and advisors, warrants, and shares from the conversion of outstanding units, if any, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 40,189,222 and 39,508,110, respectively. Due to the loss incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, all the potential equity shares are anti-dilutive and accordingly, the fully diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS. 

 

Cybersecurity

 

We have a cybersecurity policy in place and tighter cybersecurity measures to safeguard against hackers. In three months ended June 30, 2020, there were no impactful breaches in cybersecurity.

 

Leases

 

Lessor Accounting 

 

Under the 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 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.

 

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, 2020 Form 10-Q

 

Lessee Accounting

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The 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 Topic 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. 

 

Under ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

 

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of June 30, 2020.

 

The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance 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. Please refer  “Note 9 - Leases”, for further information.

 

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable, or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

This lease was amended in March 2020, with a new lease term from March 1, 2020 to November 30, 2025. The annual lease expense is approximately $127 thousand. The lease contract does not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The remaining lease term for the operating lease is 5.4 year and discount rate of 7%. The lease does not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

As of June 30, 2020, several law firms have filed shareholder lawsuits, including three derivative suits (two of which have been consolidated), citing, among other things, the NYSE American delisting proceedings initiated in October 2018 (and overturned in February 2019) and subsequent fall in share price. Those derivative suits have now been settled. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, which was filed with the Court as an exhibit to an Amended Consent Motion for Preliminary Approval of Derivative Settlement on April 30, 2020, the Company will adopt certain corporate governance modifications, and the derivative plaintiffs will receive $200,000.00 from the Company’s insurer to cover their attorneys’ fees and a nominal service award. The Company has recorded a provision for $200,000 as of June 30, 2020. On June 30, 2020, the Court held a hearing to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement and to determine whether the settlement will be approved. On July 6, 2020, the Court entered an order formally and finally approving the settlement and resolving all pending derivative suits.

 

In the U.S., we provide health insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan wherein the Company matches up to 6% of the employee’s pre-tax contribution up to a maximum annual amount determined by the IRS. In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (“Gratuity Plan”) covering certain categories of employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. In addition, employees receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan. The employee and employer each make monthly contributions to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary. The contribution is made to the Indian Government’s provident fund.

NOTE 16 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s marketable securities consist of liquid funds, which have been classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they have been valued using quoted prices in active markets. The increase in value of marketable securities is comprised of re-invested income of approximately $10 thousand and approximately $7 thousand unrealized gain during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The 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. The 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 Non-Marketable Securities.

NOTE 17 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue in the Infrastructure Business is recognized for the renting business when the equipment is rented, and terms of the agreement have been fulfilled during the period. The revenue from the purchase and resale of physical infrastructure commodities is recognized once the bill of lading along with the invoice have been transferred to the customer.  Revenue from the execution of infrastructure contracts is recognized on the basis of the output method as and when part of the performance obligation has been completed and approval from the contracting agency has been obtained after survey of the performance completion as of that date. In the Life Sciences segment, the revenue from the wellness and lifestyle business is recognized once goods have been sold to the customer and the performance obligation has been completed. In retail sales, we offer consumer products through our online and physical stores. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This generally occurs upon our delivery to a third-party carrier or, to the customer directly. We license our products to processors. The royalty income from licensing is recognized once goods have been sold by the processor to its customers.

NOTE 18 – 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 segment and (ii) Life Sciences segment.

 

The Company’s CODM is 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 Life Sciences segment 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) Life Sciences segment. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for Management reporting purposes.

 

The following provides information required by ASC 280-10-50-38 “Entity-wide Information”:

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On August 18, 2020, the Company received an official USPTO Notice of Allowance for its U.S. Trademark NO3A™, U.S. Serial Number: 88694194.

 

On August 5, 2020, the USPTO issued the Company a patent (#10751300) for the Company’s cannabinoid formulation (IGC-502) for the treatment of seizures in humans and veterinary animals. 

 

On July 30, 2020, IGC received approval from the FDA to proceed with Phase 1 human clinical trials (“removal of full clinical hold”) on its Investigational New Drug Application (“INDA”) for IGC-AD1 submitted under Section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Phase 1 trial will involve a randomized placebo controlled Multiple Ascending Dose (“MAD”) study to evaluate safety and tolerability of IGC-AD1 in subjects with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the study will evaluate pharmacokinetics (“PK”) and collect data on other factors. The drug IGC-AD1 is based on a patent filed by the University of South Florida (“USF”) that uses a cannabinoid as one of the active ingredients. The Company has exclusive rights to the patent filing.

 

On July 17, 2020, the Company filed a provisional patent application with the USPTO for its IGC-511 formulation for Cannabidiol based composition and method for treating pain.

 

In January 2020, the Company entered into a binding agreement for the settlement of three  previously disclosed derivative lawsuits: Erny v. Mukunda, et al., Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-03698-DKC, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on November 30, 2018; Hamdan v. Mukunda, et al., Civil Action No. 8:19-cv-00493-DKC, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on February 20, 2019; and Patel v. Mukunda, et al., Civil Action No. 8:19-cv-01673-PWG, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on June 6, 2019. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, which was filed with the Court as an exhibit to an Amended Consent Motion for Preliminary Approval of Derivative Settlement on April 30, 2020, the Company will adopt certain corporate governance modifications, and the derivative plaintiffs will receive $200,000 from the Company’s insurer to cover their attorneys’ fees and a nominal service award. Shareholders were given notice of the proposed settlement through the Company’s filing of an SEC Form 8-K report, the issuance of a press release, publication in Investor’s Business Daily, and posting in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website, all of which were deemed by the court to constitute sufficient notice to shareholders of the settlement. Shareholders were given the opportunity to assert objections to the final settlement, and no objections were received by the parties to the derivative suit or filed with the court. On June 30, 2020, the Court held a hearing to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement and to determine whether the settlement will be approved. On July 6, 2020, the Court entered an order formally and finally approving the settlement and resolving all pending derivative suits.

 

On May 26, 2020, the Company received an official USPTO Notice of Allowance for its U.S. Trademark Holief™, U.S. Serial Number: 88690835.

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, and 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, 2020, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020. 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” and “Risk Factors” sections, 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.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

We continue to monitor the impact from restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Revenue from the infrastructure segment continues to be adversely affected as we are unable to fully deploy our workforce. In response to the evolving circumstances, we supplemented our facilities to manufacture, label, and distribute FDA-registered alcohol-based hand sanitizers and hand rubs. While there is a general lack of visibility, we anticipate drastically reduced revenue from Infrastructure, and also unpredictable revenue from the Life Sciences segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2020:

 

 

1.

Our revenue from the infrastructure business remains adversely affected with increased expenses. However, as soon as we can safely do so, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we expect to engage in the infrastructure business including completing the road building contract that we have been awarded.

 

2.

A majority of our hemp processing and distillation equipment is sourced from China. While we took delivery of the equipment, the commissioning and certification of the equipment is delayed as it requires Chinese technicians to commission the equipment. The commissioning of our large-scale processing and distillation equipment is delayed. Delivery of some of our equipment, such as the bottling machine is delayed indefinitely as the factory is impacted by an outbreak of COVID-19.  

 

Overview

 

While our primary source of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019, is from our Infrastructure segment, our primary source of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, is from our Life Sciences segment, which produced wellness products, including alcohol-based hand sanitizers, among others.

 

The Company operates both segments in compliance with applicable state, national, and local laws, and regulations and only in locations and regions where it is legal to do so. Further information on the Company highlights in the three months ended June 30, 2020, can be found in Part I, Item 1, Note 1 - Business Description, “Business updates”.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2019, our revenue was primarily derived from the infrastructure segment. Revenue was approximately $584 thousand and $1,649 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Revenue in the Life Sciences segment in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, was $104 thousand as compared to $584 thousand in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, albeit with a change in product mix. At the same time, revenue in our Infrastructure segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, was $1,545 thousand and zero in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Primarily due to COVID-19, we have limited visibility on when either of our segments will stabilize and become predictable. We expect volatility in both segments in the foreseeable future. We expect to be opportunistic in providing personal protection equipment, including hand sanitizers, as the country reopens from the pandemic. 

 

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue amounted to approximately $538 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,608 thousand in three months ended June 30, 2019. The cost of revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, is primarily attributable to raw materials that are required to produce our products.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, sales commission, professional fees, legal fees, marketing, other corporate expenses, allocated general overhead and provisions, depreciation and write-offs relating to doubtful accounts and advances, if any. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $506 thousand or 41% to $1,755 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2020, from $1,249 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2019. The year over year increase of $0.5 million is attributed to a one-time settlement of all derivative lawsuits at $200 thousand, a payroll accrual of $200 thousand and increased legal expenses of around $100 thousand. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as one-time legal and other one-time expenses are expected to abate over the rest of this year.

 

Research and Development expenses – R&D expenses were attributed to our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, is about $222 thousand and about $247 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2019. The cost associated with this work is mostly research comprising of plant extracts that could be productized and data to support the efficacy of the extracts, including preparing for potential FDA trials, product research, designing, formulating and market analysis. We expect R&D expenses to increase as we begin Phase 1 trials on IGC-AD1. All research and development costs are expensed in the quarter in which they are incurred. 

 

Other Income, net – Other net income decreased by approximately $27 thousand or 36% during three months ended June 30, 2020. The total other income for three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is approximately $49 thousand and $76 thousand, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, such amount includes interest income, rental income and approximately $10 thousand dividend income and approximately $7 thousand unrealized gain from marketable securities, net.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

 

Our sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, short-term borrowings, and short-term liquidity arrangements. The Company continues to evaluate various financing sources and options to raise working capital to help fund current research and development programs and operations. The Company does not have any material long-term debt, capital lease obligations or other long-term liabilities, except as disclosed in this report. Please refer to Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies” and Note 9, “Leases” in Item I of this report for further information on Company commitments and contractual obligations.

 

While, the Company believes its existing balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and other short-term liquidity arrangements, will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs, capital asset purchases, share repurchases, debt repayments, investments and other liquidity requirements, if any, associated with its existing operations over the next 12 months, it expects to raise money when it is able to do so.

 

Management is actively monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, legal expenses, and workforce.

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, 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 during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Please see our disclosures in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020, as well as Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the same annual report, for a discussion of all our critical and significant accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated our “internal control over financial reporting” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) to determine whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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, 2020.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company reached a preliminary agreement to resolve all derivative suits then- and currently-pending against the Company and various directors and officers. In January 2020, the Company and the named defendant directors and officers executed a formal settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in all pending derivative lawsuits on specific final terms of settlement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, which was filed with the Court as an exhibit to an Amended Consent Motion for Preliminary Approval of Derivative Settlement on April 30, 2020, the Company will adopt certain corporate governance modifications, and the derivative plaintiffs will receive $200,000 from the Company’s insurer to cover their attorneys’ fees and a nominal service award. The Company has created a provision for $200,000 as of June 30, 2020. Shareholders were given notice of the proposed settlement through the Company’s filing of an SEC Form 8-K report, the issuance of a press release, publication in Investor’s Business Daily, and posting in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website, all of which were deemed by the court to constitute sufficient notice to shareholders of the settlement. Shareholders were given the opportunity to assert objections to the final settlement, and no objections were received by the parties to the derivative suit or filed with the court. On June 30, 2020, the Court held a hearing to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement and to determine whether the settlement will be approved. On July 6, 2020, the Court entered an order formally and finally approving the settlement and resolving all pending derivative suits.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company was a party to three shareholder lawsuits, as described below.

 

Shareholder Class Action Litigation

 

Tchatchou v. India Globalization Capital, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 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, (collectively, the “Class Action Defendants”), thereby removing Prins and Shenoy as defendants. The plaintiff in Tchatchou alleges that the Class Action Defendants 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” and related disclosures, 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.

 

On October 11, 2019, Company and the other the Class Action Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated shareholder class action litigation on a number of grounds, including that the Class Action Defendants did not make any false or misleading statements or any materially false or misleading statements to the public; the Class Action Defendants did not act with any intent to deceive the public, nor did they recklessly do so; and that the Class Action Defendants’ alleged conduct did not cause any loss allegedly suffered by the class action plaintiffs. The motion to dismiss remains pending before the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and the Company anticipates that a decision is likely to be issued during calendar 2020, although it can provide no assurances of the same.

 

Harris-Carr v. India Globalization Capital, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 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.

Shareholder Derivative Action Litigation

 

Erny v. Mukunda, et al., Civil Action No. 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. Because the claims made in Erny 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, described below, were consolidated, and the Erny litigation was designated as the lead derivative case.

 

On July 31, 2019, the Company and the Individual Defendants reached a preliminary agreement with the plaintiffs in the derivative suits identified herein to resolve all derivative suits, including the Erny litigation and the Hamdan and Patel matters, described below. In January 2020, the Company and the named defendant directors and officers reached agreement with the plaintiffs in all pending derivative lawsuits on specific final terms of settlement, and all parties executed a mutually acceptable settlement agreement. Shareholders were given notice of the proposed settlement through the Company’s filing of an SEC Form 8-K report, the issuance of a press release, publication in Investor’s Business Daily, and posting in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website, all of which were deemed by the court to constitute sufficient notice to shareholders of the settlement. Shareholders were given the opportunity to assert objections to the final settlement, and no objections were received by the parties to the derivative suit or filed with the court. On June 30, 2020, the Court held a hearing to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement and to determine whether the settlement will be approved. On July 6, 2020, the Court entered an order formally and finally approving the settlement and resolving all pending derivative suits. The Erny litigation matter was terminated that day.

 

Hamdan v. Mukunda, et al., Civil Action No. 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.

 

The Hamdan litigation is subject to the same negotiated settlement described in Erny, above, and is resolved effective July 6, 2020.   The case was formally closed by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on or about that July 14, 2020.

 

Patel v. Mukunda, et al., Civil Action No. 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 (collectively, with reference to the Patel litigation, “Individual Defendants”) 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 allegations made by the plaintiff in the Patel litigation are substantially similar to the allegations made in Erny, and the claims against the individual director defendants are based largely on the same alleged transactions and/or occurrences as are the claims made in the Erny litigation. 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 Patel litigation has not been consolidated with Erny and Hamdan to date.

 

The Patel litigation is subject to the same negotiated settlement described in Erny above, and is resolved effective July 6, 2020. On July 8, 2020, the Court dismissed the Patel litigation with prejudice pursuant to the approved settlement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors identified in the Company’s 2020 annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020, together with all other information included in this report in evaluating our company and our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock and other securities also could be adversely affected. We make various statements in this section, which constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

The Company incorporates by reference as if fully set forth and restated herein all Risk Factors identified in our 2020 annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020. Additionally, risks and uncertainty of which we are unaware or which currently we deem immaterial also may become important factor that affects us. The additional risk factor has been mentioned below: 

 

Revenue from the infrastructure segment continues to be adversely affected and revenue from Life Sciences segment is also unpredictable.

 

We continue to monitor the impact from restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Revenue from the infrastructure segment continues to be adversely affected as we are unable to fully deploy our workforce. However, as soon as we can safely, we expect to engage in the infrastructure segment including completing the road building contract that we have been awarded. In response to the evolving circumstances, we supplemented our facilities to manufacture, label, and distribute FDA-registered alcohol-based hand sanitizers and hand rubs. As there is a general lack of visibility regarding the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, revenue from our Life Sciences segment is also unpredictable.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

None.

 

Item 3Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

 None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

On February 15, 2020, the Company signed a Share Subscription Agreement (“SSA”) with Evolve I, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Evolve”), to acquire approximately 20% of Evolve. The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) on May 11, 2020 to acquire the remaining approximately 80% of Evolve that the Company did not own. On May 12, 2020, the Company completed the SSA with Evolve by transferring partial consideration to Evolve. As of June 30, 2020, the Company owns approximately 19.8% of Evolve.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has not completed the acquisition of remaining ownership in Evolve as due diligence, such as audited financial statements for the last fiscal year, internal restructuring, among others, are pending. While the Form 8-K was filed under both Item 1.01- Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and Item 2.01- Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, as indicated in the Form 8-K, the closing of the Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and accordingly the reference to Item 2.01- Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets was inadvertently included. There can be no assurance when or if the Company will be able to close the acquisition. The delay in closing the acquisition is expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s revenue.
