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.

For the next several years, we believe our success is highly correlated with improvement in the Hong Kong and Indian economies, particularly their recovery from the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 (“COVID-19”) pandemic and with the outcome of our clinical trials and secondarily on the sale of our products and services. The Company may not be able to complete human trials on our investigational drug candidates, or, once conducted, the results of human trials may not be favorable or as anticipated or may reflect lack of efficacy in humans or animals. Precautions including social distancing and travel restrictions, among others, surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to delays or expenses greater than anticipated or projected. Failure or delay with respect to any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, stock price, and financial condition.

Our projections and investments anticipate certain regulatory changes and stable pricing, which may not hold out over the next several years. 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. 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, including, but not limited to, based on the Food & Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) current position on hemp and hemp-based products. Failure or delay with respect to any of the factors above could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, stock price, and financial condition.

This document also contains statements that are not approved by the FDA, including statements on hemp and hemp extracts and their potential efficacy on humans and animals. While these statements and claims are intended to be in compliance with federal and state laws, we cannot guarantee such compliance.

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, if any, identified in the “Risk Factors” set forth in this report or in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 14, 2021, or in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021, respectively, 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

Since 2014, we have focused a portion of our business on the application of phytocannabinoids such as Tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) and Cannabidiol (“CBD”), among others, in combination with other compounds, to address efficacy for various ailments and diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. As previously disclosed, IGC submitted IGC-AD1, our investigational drug candidate for Alzheimer’s, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under Section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and received approval on July 30, 2020, to proceed with the Phase 1 trial on Alzheimer’s patients.

The Company completed all dose escalation studies, and, as announced by the Company on December 2, 2021, the results of the clinical trial have been submitted in the Clinical/Statistical Report (“CSR”) filed with the FDA. The Company is motivated by the potential that, with future successful results from appropriate further trials, IGC-AD1 could contribute to relief for some of the 50 million people around the world expected to be impacted by Alzheimer’s disease by 2030 (WHO, 2020).

Primary Endpoint: Safety & Tolerability (S&T):

S&T was assessed by recording both solicited and non-solicited Adverse Events (AEs). The solicited AEs, assessed daily, were somnolence, falls, dizziness, asthenia, suicidal ideation, hypertension, psychiatric symptoms, and paradoxical nausea. All AEs were graded as mild, moderate, severe, life threatening, and serious (SAE).

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

Secondary Endpoints: Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI):

Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) such as delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression, anxiety, elation/euphoria, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor behavior, sleep disorders, and appetite/eating disorders are prevalent in patients who have Alzheimer’s disease (Phan et al., 2019). NPS in Alzheimer’s is a significant burden on patients and caregivers, and at some point, in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, more than 97% of patients suffer from at least one symptom. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) (Cummings et al., 1994) measures the severity of each symptom and establishes both individual symptom scores as well as an overall NPI score. Separately, the NPI also scores caregiver distress (NPI-D). The NPI is used by about 50% of neurologists to assess and treat Alzheimer’s patients (Fernandez et al., 2010).

According to the NPI Test, a reduction of 4 points or 30% in the score is considered clinically meaningful. In addition, we also used a paired 2-tailed t-test with 9 degrees of freedom to assess the statistical significance of the decrease both in the overall NPI and individual NPI domains.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first human clinical trial using ultra low doses of THC, in combination with another molecule, to treat symptoms of dementia in Alzheimer’s patients. THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid produced by the cannabis plant. It is known for being a psychoactive substance that can impact mental processes in a positive or negative way depending on the dosage. THC is biphasic, meaning that low and high doses of the substance may affect mental and physiological processes in substantially different ways. For example, in some patients, low doses may relieve a symptom, whereas high doses may amplify a symptom. Ultimately, the goal of IGC’s research is to discover and analyze whether, and at what level of dosing, IGC-AD1 provides relief of a given symptom. IGC’s trial is based on micro dosing on patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. With further trials, subject to FDA approvals, the Company intends to pursue the efficacy of IGC-AD1 for indications of Agitation in patients with dementia from Alzheimer’s.

The Company has filed thirteen (13) patent applications to address various diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Central Nervous System (“CNS”) disorders, pain, stammering, seizures in cats and dogs, eating disorders, stress-relief, and calm-restoring beverage, and fatigue. As of December 31, 2021, we have three patents.

In addition, we license a patent filing from the University of South Florida titled “Ultra-Low dose THC as a potential therapeutic and prophylactic agent for Alzheimer’s Disease.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued a patent (#11,065,225) for this filing on July 20, 2021. The granted patent relates to IGC’s proprietary formulation, IGC-AD1, intended to assist in the treatment of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease.

The Company is developing three brands, including Holief™, among others. Holief™ is a non-GMO, vegan, natural, women’s line of over-the-counter (“OTC”) products aimed at addressing dysmenorrhea and premenstrual symptoms (“PMS”) in women. Holief™, in development, seeks to connect, via a cloud-based platform, women with health care professionals who can help address dysmenorrhea, or period cramps, and PMS. Approximately 31.3 million (Statista, 2021) women in America suffer from dysmenorrhea and PMS.

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

Since our inception, the Company has operated its Infrastructure business segment from India. The infrastructure business segment involves: (a) the execution of construction contracts, (b) the rental of heavy construction equipment, and (c) the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure. Information about our infrastructure products and service offerings is available at www.igcinc.us. Unfortunately, the infrastructure sector has been severely hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in India and Hong Kong where the business is based.

COVID-19 update

Our infrastructure business is based in the state of Kerala, India, which is among the Indian states most affected by COVID-19, and Hong Kong with strict quarantine and travel restrictions. The restrictions continue to adversely impact our infrastructure business, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. While IGC remains committed to its Infrastructure business line and intends to continue pursuing the execution of construction contracts, the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure, and the rental of heavy construction equipment as the pandemic allows, we have limited visibility into when economic conditions will recover in India and Hong Kong.

In response, we have oriented our current focus on a) the human trials on IGC-AD1 and getting an Alzheimer’s drug through trials and eventually to market, subject to FDA approval, and b) launching a cannabinoid-based women’s wellness line of products designed to assist in managing PMS and Dysmenorrhea.

Business Organization

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following direct operating subsidiaries: Techni Bharathi Private Limited (“TBL”), IGCare, LLC (“IGCare”), Holi Hemp, LLC (“Holi Hemp”), IGC Pharma, LLC (“IGC Pharma”), SAN Holdings, LLC (“SAN Holdings”), Sunday Seltzer, LLC (“Sunday Seltzer”) and Colombia-based beneficially owned subsidiary Hamsa Biochem SAS (“Hamsa”). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52-week or 53-week period that ends on March 31. The Company is a Maryland corporation established in 2005. The Company’s filings are available on www.sec.gov.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and these 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 U.S. 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, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”) contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021, 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.

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

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 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 our financial statements.

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 (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.

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 the 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 nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020.

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 relation to our investment guidelines and market conditions. Short-term and long-term investments consist of corporate, various government agencies, 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 more than 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 accounts for the investment in accordance with ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities”.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not have any investment in marketable securities.

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

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 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 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.

Compensation expense for the portion of the restricted stock units that contains a performance and market vesting condition is recognized over the derived service period based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. Compensation expense for the portion of the restricted stock that contains performance and service vesting conditions is recognized over the requisite service period based on fair value of the awards on the grant date.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and lattice model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent Management’s best estimates. Generally, 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.

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 $164 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $72 thousand as of December 31, 2021, as compared to $175 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $63 thousand as of March 31, 2021.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is 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 hemp-based products, beverages, among others as well as work-in-progress such as extracted crude oil, hemp-based isolate, growing crops, harvested 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 to Note 3 – “Inventory”, for further information.

Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, scrap, discontinued products and wasted material (spoilage) are expensed in the period they are incurred.

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

Fair value of financial instruments

ASC 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, which 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 instrument include 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 15 – “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further information.

Loss per share

The computation of basic loss per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 6.2 million shares which includes share options, unvested shares such as restricted shares and restricted share units, granted to employees, non-employees and advisors, 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 nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 49,643,942 and 40,915,196, respectively. Due to the loss incurred by the Company during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, 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 have taken cybersecurity measures that we expect are likely to safeguard the Company against breaches. In the nine months ended December 31, 2021, there were no impactful breaches in cybersecurity.

Intangible assets

The Company’s intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. We perform an impairment analysis annually in the last month of the fiscal year on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the steps laid out in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we review events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. If quantitative analysis is necessary, we would analyze various aspects including revenues from the business, associated with the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets will be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. The Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time and based on the information presently known, does not believe it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-21, definite lived intangibles are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value.

The Company intends to capitalize trademarks and similar expenses exceeding $2,500 per trademark. Management may also capitalize trademarks and similar expenses up to $2,500 per trademark based on its potential and benefit in coming years.

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The core principle of this standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

ASC 606 prescribes a 5-step process to achieve its core principle. The Company recognizes revenue from trading, rental, or product sales as follows:

I. Identify the contract with the customer.

II. Identify the contractual performance obligations.

III. Determine the amount of consideration/price for the transaction.

IV. Allocate the determined amount of consideration/price to the performance obligations.

V. Recognize revenue when or as the performing party satisfies performance obligations.

The consideration/price for the transaction (performance obligation(s)) is determined as per the agreement or invoice (contract) for the services and products in the Infrastructure and Life Sciences segment.

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 has 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 a 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 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. Revenue from tolling services is recognized when the performance obligation, such as processing of the material, has been completed and output material has been transferred to the customer. We license our products to processors. The royalty income from licensing is recognized once goods have been sold by the processor to its customers.

Net sales disaggregated by significant products and services for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 are as follows:

(1) Rental income consists of income from rental of heavy construction equipment.

(2) Construction income consists of the execution of contracts directly or through subcontractors.

(3) Relates to the income from purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure, like steel, wooden doors, marble, and tiles.

(4) Relates to revenue from wellness and lifestyle segment such as sale of hand sanitizer, bath bombs, lotion, gummies, beverages, textiles, hemp crude extract, hemp isolate, and hemp distillate and royalty income from the sale of Hyalolex™, now named Hyalolex™ Drops of Clarity™.

(5) Relates to income from tolling and white label services.

Leases

Lessor Accounting

Under the current ASU 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 most 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.

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 an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as a 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 December 31, 2021.

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, which defer the commencement date of required payments. Please refer to “Note 9 - Leases”, for further information.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

NOTE 3 – INVENTORY

Inventory in the form of work-in-progress as of December 31, 2021, is comprised of, but not limited to, harvested hemp crop hemp-based extracts, among others. Inventory also includes cost related to growing crops like seeds, fertilizer, other raw materials, labor, farm-related overheads, and the depreciation of farming equipment, hand sanitizers, gummies, lotions, beverages, and personal protection equipment, among others.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, inventory write down was approximately $22 thousand. Write downs are due to abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, scrap, and wasted material (spoilage). This charge was recorded in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

The Company has short-term leases primarily consisting of spaces with the remaining lease term being less than or equal to 12 months. The total short-term lease expense and cash paid for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 are approximately $131 thousand and $197 thousand, respectively. The Company also has four operating leases as of December 31, 2021.

America: In November 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a lease term of less than 12 months. 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 $121 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 3.9 years with a 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.

Asia: The Company renewed three lease agreements for terms between three to four years expiring between 2023 and 2024. The total annual lease expense is approximately $27 thousand. The lease contracts do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The remaining lease term for the operating leases is between 2.25-3.00 years with a 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.

NOTE 16 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

FASB ASC 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 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.

Company Highlights

Strategy

We have a two-pronged strategy for our Life Sciences biopharmaceutical component: the initial prong is to investigate IGC-AD1 for safety and efficacy in managing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. This involves conducting Phase 1 through Phase 3 trials on IGC-AD1 over the next several years, subject to FDA regulatory approval and adequate funding, with the anticipated goal of demonstrating safety and efficacy and potentially obtaining FDA approval for IGC-AD1 as a phytocannabinoid-based formulation that can help manage some symptoms for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The second prong is to investigate the potential efficacy of IGC-AD1 on memory and on decreasing or managing plaques and tangles, some of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease.

Our pipeline of investigational phytocannabinoid formulations also includes pain creams and tinctures for pain relief. We believe that the biopharmaceutical component of our Life Sciences strategy will take several years to implement and involves considerable risk; however, we believe it may involve more significant defensible growth potential and first-to-market advantage.

Our consumer service and products strategy includes advancing the women’s line of products under the brand www.holief.com and developing and creating a cloud-based platform that connects women with health care professionals who can help with PMS and dysmenorrhea.

We believe that the additional investment in clinical trials, research, and development (“R&D”), facilities, marketing, and advertising, and the acquisition of products and businesses supporting our Life Sciences segment, are likely to be critical to the development and delivery of innovative products and positive patient and customer experiences. Part of our strategy is to leverage our R&D and our intellectual property to develop products that we believe are likely to be well-differentiated and -supported by science through planned pre-clinical and clinical trials. We believe this strategy has the potential to improve existing products and lead to the creation of new products, which, based on scientific study and research, may offer positive results for the management of certain conditions, symptoms, and side effects.

COVID-19 Update

Our infrastructure business is based in the state of Kerala, India, which is among the Indian states most affected by COVID-19, and Hong Kong with strict quarantine and travel restrictions. The restrictions continue to adversely impact our infrastructure business, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. While IGC remains committed to its Infrastructure business line and intends to continue pursuing the execution of construction contracts, the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure, and the rental of heavy construction equipment as the pandemic allows, we have limited visibility into when economic conditions will recover in India and Hong Kong.

In response, we have oriented our current focus on a) the human trials on IGC-AD1 and getting an Alzheimer’s drug through trials and to market, subject to FDA approval, and b) launching a cannabinoid-based women’s wellness line of products designed to assist in managing PMS and Dysmenorrhea.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended

December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020

The historical results presented below are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. The following table presents an overview of our results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020:

Statement of Operations (in thousands, unaudited)

Revenue – Revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was primarily derived from our Life Sciences segment, which involved sales of products such as lotion, gummies, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers, among others. Revenue was approximately $142 thousand and $108 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Revenue in the Life Sciences segment in the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $56 thousand as compared to $134 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2021, albeit with a change in product mix. Revenue in our Infrastructure segment for the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $52 thousand compared to $8 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2021. The revenue relates to the execution of a construction contract. Primarily due to COVID-19, we have limited visibility on when either of our segments will stabilize, generate significant revenue, 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 areas reopen from the pandemic.

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue amounted to approximately $80 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $94 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2020. The cost of revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2021, is primarily attributable to raw materials that are required to produce our products.

 | December 31, 2021, Form 10-Q

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)– SG&A 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. SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $116 thousand or 5% to approximately $2.07 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from approximately $2.19 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease of approximately $116 thousand consists of one-time $245 thousand inventory-related adjustments during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Research and Development expenses– Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses were attributed to conducting the Phase 1 trial on patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and product research in our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021, are approximately $377 thousand compared to approximately $154 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increase of approximately $223 thousand or 145%. The cost associated with this work is mostly associated with the clinical trial on patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, research comprising of plant extracts that could be productized and data to support the efficacy of the extracts, product research, designing, formulating and market analysis. Of the increase of $223 thousand, $100 thousand is attributed to one-off expense related to the completion of Phase 1 clinical trial and $50 thousand to one-off expense related to the grant of licensed patent from the University of South Florida. We expect R&D expenses to increase with progression in trials on IGC-AD1, subject to FDA approval.

Other income, net –Other net income increased by approximately $1 thousand or 33% during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The total other income for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 was approximately $4 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively. Other income includes interest income and rental income, among others.
