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 the outcome of our clinical trials and secondarily with the sale of our products and services. The Company may not be able to complete human trials on our investigational drug candidate, 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 ongoing SARS CoV 2 (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 and Drug Administrations (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, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 23, 2022, which 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

 

Corporate History

 

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (dba IGC, Inc., IGC) is a Maryland corporation established in 2005. Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending March 31.

 

Business Overview

 

IGC develops advanced formulations for treating diseases and conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and chronic pain. The Company’s leading drug candidate, IGC-AD1, has demonstrated in Alzheimer’s cell lines the potential to be effective in suppressing or ameliorating two key hallmarks of AD: plaques and tangles. IGC-AD1 is currently in a Phase 2B safety and efficacy clinical trial for agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05543681). The Company markets two wellness brands Holief and Sunday Seltzer. Holief includes pain relief creams and gels for women experiencing PMS and menstrual cramps, and Sunday Seltzer, a lifestyle energy beverage brand.

 

The Company currently has two main investigational small molecules in various stages of development:

 

 

1)

IGC-AD1, our lead therapeutic candidate, is a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) based formulation that has demonstrated in AD cell lines, in vitro, the potential in reducing a key peptide responsible for Aβ plaques, and the potential to decrease or inhibit the phosphorylation of tau a protein that is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, both important hallmarks of AD. In addition, in the Phase 1 human trial it demonstrated the potential to reduce agitation in dementia due to AD. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2B trials for treating agitation in dementia from AD, a condition that affects over 10-million individuals in North America and Europe, and

 

2)

TGR-63, a non-cannabinoid molecule, is an enzyme inhibitor shown in pre-clinical trials to reduce neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s cell lines.

 

The Company controls nine patents and seven patent applications, including two each for IGC-AD1 and TGR-63 and their uses related to Alzheimer’s.

 

The Company’s various personal care CBD-based over the counter (“OTC”) consumer products are sold through online and wholesale channels under the following two brands:

 

 

Holief™ is a vegan, non-GMO, cruelty free, paraben free, lab verified, CBD infused line of OTC products with plant-based ingredients aimed at supporting menstrual cramp (dysmenorrhea) discomforts and other premenstrual symptoms (“PMS”).

 

 

Sunday Seltzer™ is a vegan, organic, lightly carbonated energy drink with natural caffeine from green tea extract, CBD, vitamin B, and vitamin C, with no added sugars, and no preservatives. The energy drink is available in two flavors, pomegranate-lemon, and peach-ginger. In addition, Sunday Seltzer™ is also available in four other flavors with no caffeine.

 

Both Holief™ and Sunday Seltzer™ are compliant with applicable federal, state, and local laws, and regulations.

 

The Company operates two segments: the Life Sciences segment described above and a legacy Infrastructure segment to execute construction contracts and the rental of heavy construction equipment in India. The Company is currently actively executing a project in this segment.

 

 

indiaglob20221231_10qimg002.jpg | December 31, 2022, Form 10-Q

 

Other Recent Developments

 

The Company commenced its Phase 2 clinical trial on IGC-AD1 for agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s at two U. S. sites. The Company also received a no-objection letter from Health Canada to begin trials in Canada and has commenced trials at a site in Montreal. The trial is intended to enroll 146 patients with one half, the treated group, receiving IGC-AD1, and the other half, the control group, receiving a placebo. The goal of the trial is to evaluate and establish the efficacy of IGC-AD1 in treating patients with Alzheimer’s dementia to reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms (“NPS”) such as agitation, which affects 76% of individuals with Alzheimer’s (Mussele et al., 2015). The Company hopes to be the first natural tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) based medication for treating agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s. The trial is registered on clinicaltrials.gov with NCT05543681.

 

Business Organization

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had the following operating subsidiaries: Techni Bharathi Private Limited (“TBL”), IGCare LLC, Holi Hemp LLC, IGC Pharma LLC, SAN Holdings LLC, Sunday Seltzer, LLC, Hamsa Biopharma India Pvt.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, and condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, has been derived from audited financial statements, and 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 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, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”) contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal 2022, filed with the SEC on June 23, 2022, 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 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.

 

 

indiaglob20221231_10qimg002.jpg | December 31, 2022, 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, and 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 the U.S., India, 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 USD 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 the 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 or profit 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, 2022, and 2021.

 

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 equity investment, mutual funds, corporate, various government securities, and municipal debt securities, as well as certificates of deposit. 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.”

 

 

indiaglob20221231_10qimg002.jpg | December 31, 2022, Form 10-Q

 

We consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.

 

Debt investments are classified as available-for-sale and realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method. Changes in fair value, excluding credit losses and impairments, are recorded in other comprehensive income. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than the cost. To determine credit losses, we employ a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence. In addition, we consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and business outlook for, the investee. If we have plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in other income (expense), net and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, we may incur future impairments.

 

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured using the equity method or measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the measurement alternative). We perform a qualitative assessment on a periodic basis and recognize an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value. Changes in value are recorded in other income (expense), net.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $88 thousand in short-term investments.

 

Stockbased compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in conformity ASC Topic 718, “Stock-Based Compensation.” The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite vesting period based on the award’s estimated grant-date fair value. 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. For performance-based awards with a vesting schedule based entirely on the attainment of performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense associated with each tranche is recognized over the expected achievement period for the operational milestone, beginning at the point in time when the relevant operational milestone is considered probable to be achieved.

 

For market-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the expected achievement period. The fair value of such awards is estimated on the grant date using the binomial lattice model.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions 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. For further information, refer to Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 a customer’s financial condition deteriorates, additional allowances may be required. We had $251 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $35 thousand as of December 31, 2022, as compared to $125 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $93 thousand as of March 31, 2022.

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or 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 hemp-based products and beverages, among others, as well as work-in-progress such as extracted hemp crude oil, hemp-based isolate, growing crops, harvested crops, and herbal oils, among others. Work-in-progress also includes product manufacturing in process, and 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.

 

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

 

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, 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.

 

Earnings/(Loss) per share

 

The computation of basic loss per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 6.1 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, 2022, and 2021, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”), is 52,412,830 and 49,643,942, respectively. Due to the loss incurred by the Company during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, 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, while there can be no assurance, we expect are likely to safeguard the Company against breaches. In the nine months ended December 31, 2022, 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 on March 1 annually 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.

 

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

 

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 segment is recognized for the renting business when the equipment is rented, and terms of the agreement have been fulfilled during the period. 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.

Leases

 

Lessor Accounting

 

Under the current ASU guidance, contract consideration will be allocated to its lease 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 not to 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 a 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 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 non-accrual, 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, 2022.

 

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 to “Note 9 - Leases”, for further information.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

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. 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 condensed 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 condensed financial statements.

The value of intangible assets includes the cost of acquiring patent rights, supporting data, and the expense associated with filing 16 patents. It also includes acquisition costs related to domains and licenses.

 

The amortization of patent and patent rights with finite life is up to 20 years, commencing from the date of grant or acquisition. Accordingly, the amortization expense in the three months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 amounted to approximately $14 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively, whereas the amortization expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 amounted to approximately $38 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively.

 

The Company regularly reviews its intangible assets to determine if any intangible asset is other-than-temporarily impaired, which would require the Company to record an impairment charge in the period and concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, there was no impairment.

The depreciation expense in the three months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 amounted to approximately $158 thousand and $117 thousand, respectively. The depreciation expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 amounted to approximately $466 thousand and $427 thousand, respectively. The net decrease in total Property, Plant, and Equipment is primarily due to depreciation and foreign exchange translations of an increase in the value of foreign currencies. As of December 31, 2022, the Company disposed of fully depreciated assets in the amount of approximately $1.6 million from its subsidiaries. This resulted in a reduction in the value of total gross assets but did not affect the net value of assets as the disposed assets had previously been fully depreciated. In addition, the Company sold a property in Puerto Rico for net proceeds of approximately $485 thousand (acquired for approximately $480 thousand) and accounted for a profit of approximately $5 thousand in other income.

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, 2022, and 2021 are approximately $134 thousand and $131 thousand, respectively. The Company also has four operating leases as of December 31, 2022.

 

America: The Company has entered into a lease agreement for approximately five years, expiring in 2025. The annual lease expense is approximately $122 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 2.9 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 has three lease agreements for three to four years, expiring between 2023 and 2024. The total annual lease expense is approximately $6 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 2-1.4 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.

Loan as of December 31, 2022:

 

On June 11, 2020, the Company received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) for approximately $150 thousand at an annual interest rate of 3.75%. The Company must pay principal and interest payments of $731 every month beginning June 5, 2021. For each installment payment, the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) will apply the payment first to pay interest accrued to the day SBA receives the payment then to any remaining balance to reduce principal. All remaining principal and accrued interest are due and payable 30 years from the loan date. For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the interest expense and principal payment for the EIDL were approximately $4.1 thousand and $2 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the interest expense and principal payment for the EIDL were approximately $3.2 thousand and $2 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $141 thousand of the loan is classified as long-term loans and approximately $3 thousand as short-term loans.

NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s investments may consist of money market funds, debt and equity funds, and other marketable securities, among others which have been classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they have been valued using quoted prices in active markets. 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 Cash Deposits are classified as Level 2 as they do not have regular market pricing, but its fair value can be determined based on other data values or market prices. 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 the cost method.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company used to determine such fair value:

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 assess 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 to make operating decisions and assess financial performance. Therefore, 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 segment 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”:

Item 2. Managements 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 India Globalization Capital, Inc.’s, dba IGC Inc. (“IGC,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”), consolidated financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. The MD&A 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 and nine months ended December 31, 2022, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 23, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). 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 and 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. Accordingly, 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 expressly 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 outlined in the forward-looking statements.

 

Business Overview

 

IGC develops advanced formulations for treating diseases and conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and chronic pain. The Company’s leading drug candidate, IGC-AD1, has demonstrated in Alzheimer’s cell lines the potential to be effective in suppressing or ameliorating two key hallmarks of AD: plaques and tangles. IGC-AD1 is currently in a Phase 2B safety and efficacy clinical trial for agitation in dementia from AD (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05543681). The Company also has lines of various cannabinol (CBD) based consumer products such as Holief, which includes gummies and pain relief creams for women experiencing PMS and menstrual cramps, and Sunday Seltzer, which includes a CBD-infused energy beverage, all currently available for purchase.

 

The Company currently has two main investigational small molecules in various stages of development:

 

 

1)

IGC-AD1, our lead therapeutic candidate, is a THC based formulation that has demonstrated in AD cell lines, in vitro, the potential in reducing a key peptide responsible for Aβ plaques, and the potential to decrease or inhibit the phosphorylation of tau a protein that is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, both key hallmarks of AD. In addition, in the Phase 1 human trial it demonstrated the potential to reduce agitation in dementia due to AD. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2B trials for treating agitation in dementia from AD, a condition that affects over 10-million individuals in North America and Europe, and

 

2)

TGR-63, a non-cannabinoid molecule, is an enzyme inhibitor shown in pre-clinical trials to reduce neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s cell lines.

 

The Company controls nine patents and seven patent applications, including two each for IGC-AD1 and TGR-63 and their use related to Alzheimer’s.

 

The Company’s various personal care CBD-based over the counter (“OTC”) consumer products are sold through online and wholesale channels under the following two brands:

 

 

Holief™ is a vegan, non-GMO, cruelty free, paraben free, lab verified, CBD infused line of OTC products with plant-based ingredients aimed at supporting period cramp discomforts and other PMS symptoms.

 

 

Sunday Seltzer™ is a vegan, organic, lightly carbonated energy drink with natural caffeine from green tea extract, CBD, vitamin B, and vitamin C, with no added sugars, and no preservatives. The energy drink is available in two flavors, pomegranate-lemon, and peach-ginger. In addition, Sunday Seltzer™ is also available in four other flavors with no caffeine.

 

Both Holief™ and Sunday Seltzer™ are compliant with applicable federal, state, and local laws, and regulations.

 

IGC operates two segments: the Life Sciences segment described above and a legacy Infrastructure segment to execute construction contracts and the rental of heavy construction equipment in India. The Company is currently actively executing a project in this segment.

 

indiaglob20221231_10qimg002.jpg | December 31, 2022, Form 10-Q

 

Other Developments

 

The Company commenced its Phase 2 clinical trial for agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s at two U.S. sites and one Canadian site with plans to add between five to ten additional sites in the United States, Canada, and possibly South America to increase population diversity, promoting both the inclusion of underrepresented populations and helping the Company to better understand the impact of IGC-AD1 on the population of the Americas. The trial is intended to enroll 146 patients with one half, the treated group, receiving IGC-AD1, and the other half, the control group, receiving a placebo. The goal of the trial is to evaluate and establish the efficacy of IGC-AD1 in treating patients with Alzheimer’s dementia to reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms (“NPS”) such as agitation, which affects 76% of individuals with Alzheimer’s (Mussele et al., 2015). The Company hopes to be the first natural THC based medication to treat agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s.

 

Strategy

 

The Life Sciences segment strategy includes:

 

 

1.

Subject to FDA approval, developing IGC-AD1 as a drug for treating agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s and investigating and developing TGR-63 for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

 

 

2.

Marketing Holief™, Sunday Seltzer™, and white label services.

 

We believe developing a drug for either treatment of symptoms or as a disease modifying agent has considerable risk due to the need for multi-year trials and FDA approval. However, there could be a considerable upside and significant value creation to the extent we obtain a first-to-market advantage, of which there can be no assurance. If we were to obtain a first-to-market advantage, such an advantage could result in significant growth when an approved drug is marketed. Our HoliefTM strategy includes expanding the line of products and developing online services that connect women with healthcare professionals who can help with PMS and dysmenorrhea, more specifically. Building an online community that brings women together can create brand equity and loyalty.

 

We believe that additional investment in clinical trials, R&D, facilities, marketing, advertising, and acquisition of complementary products and businesses will be critical to the ongoing growth of the Life Sciences segment. We believe these investments will fuel the development and delivery of innovative products that drive positive patient and customer experiences. We hope to leverage our R&D and intellectual property to develop ground-breaking, science-based products that are proven effective through clinical trials, subject to FDA approval. While there can be no assurance, we believe this strategy can improve our existing products and lead to the creation of new hemp-based products that can provide treatment options for multiple conditions, symptoms, and side effects.

 

Our Infrastructure segment strategy entails executing the current construction contracts that are in effect.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

Our infrastructure business is based in the state of Kerala, India. COVID-19 has had and continues to have, a significant impact around the world, prompting governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures in response. The Company continues to monitor the situation and take appropriate action. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s operational and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control. Additional future impacts on the Company may include material adverse effects on demand for the Company’s products and services.

Revenue – Revenue was approximately $332 thousand and $142 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Revenue in both quarters was primarily derived from our Life Sciences segment, which involved providing white label manufactured products, sales of holistic women’s health care products and beverages including the Company’s energy drink, among others. The increase in sales was primarily related to increased sales of the Company’s services and products. The Infrastructure segment revenue was approximately $41 thousand and $8 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in revenue derived from the Infrastructure segment relates to progress in construction activity.

 

Cost of revenue – The cost of revenue amounted to approximately $230 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $80 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2021, this represents gross margins of 31% and 44%, respectively. The change in the cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the cost of raw materials required to produce our products and the cost related to low margin Infrastructure revenue.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) – SG&A expenses were approximately $1.5 million and $2.07 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease of $496 thousand is attributed to a reduction of compensation, legal and marketing expenses. 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 advance, if any.

 

Research and Development expenses – R&D expenses were attributed to our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses increased by approximately $429 thousand, or 114%, to $806 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2022, from approximately $377 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the progression of Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical studies on TGR-63. We anticipate increased R&D expenses as the development of TGR-63 and the Phase 2 trial on Alzheimer’s pick up more momentum.

Revenue – Revenue was approximately $745 thousand and $275 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Revenue in both quarters was primarily derived from our Life Sciences segment, which involved providing white label manufactured products, sales of holistic women’s health care products and beverages including the Company’s energy drink, among others. The increase in sales was primarily related to increased sales of the Company’s services and products. The Infrastructure segment revenue was approximately $59 thousand and $26 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in revenue derived from the Infrastructure segment relates to progress on the construction activity.

 

Cost of revenue – The cost of revenue amounted to approximately $366 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $149 thousand in the nine months ended December 31, 2021, this represents gross margins of 51% and 46%, respectively. The change in cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the cost of raw materials required to produce our products and the cost related to low margin Infrastructure revenue. While gross margins increased, year over year, there is lack of visibility moving forward due to overall inflationary pressures.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses – SG&A expenses were approximately $5 million and $7.96 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease of $3 million is attributed to an adjustment of one-time expenses and a reduction of compensation, legal and marketing expenses. 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 advance, if any.

         

Research and Development expenses – R&D expenses were attributed to our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses increased by approximately $1.8 million or 171% to $2.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, from approximately $1.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the progression of Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical studies on TGR-63. We anticipate additional R&D expenses as the Phase 2 trial commences with patient sign-ups.

 

Impairment of investment – During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, there was no investment impairment. However, during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company exited its investment and acquisition of Evolve I, Inc. (“Evolve”). The Company received shares of IGC common stock, which had granted to Evolve as consideration to the Share Subscription Agreement (SSA), in exchange for the return of its shareholding in Evolve. Accordingly, the Company cancelled the IGC shares received by it and impaired its remaining investment of approximately $37 thousand.

Other income, net – Other net income decreased by approximately $395 thousand or 88% during the nine months ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the total other income for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 is approximately $56 thousand and $451 thousand, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the other income included a one-time income of approximately $430 thousand related to the forgiveness of the PPP Note. Other income includes interest and rental income, dividend income, profit from sale of assets, unrealized gains from investments, net income, and income from scrap sales.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, funds raised through the ATM offering, cash flows from operations, short-term and long-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”, Note 11, “Loans and Other Liabilities” and Note 9, “Leases” in Item 1 of this report for further information on Company commitments and contractual obligations.

 

The Company believes its existing balances of cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments, and other short-term liquidity arrangements will be sufficient, to satisfy its working capital needs, capital asset purchases, debt repayments, investments, including but not limited to, mutual funds, treasury bonds, and other asset classes, clinical trials, and other liquidity requirements, if any, associated with its existing operations over the short . The Company expects to raise capital for its trials as and when it is able to do so, but there can be no assurance thereof. In addition, there can be no assurance of the terms thereof and any subsequent equity financing sought may have dilutive effects on our current shareholders. While there is no guarantee that we will be successful, we are applying to non-dilutive funding opportunities such as Small Business Research and Development programs. In addition, subject to limitations on the amount of capital that can be raised, the Company expects to utilize its shelf registration on statement on Form S-3 to raise capital  through at-the-market Offerings or otherwise. Please refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for further information on the risks related to the Company.

In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities had a negative impact of approximately $856 thousand on cash, of which approximately $127 thousand is due to a decrease in accounts receivables, approximately $572 thousand decrease in accrued and other liabilities, and approximately $157 thousand decrease in other net current assets and liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions, or foreign currency forward contracts. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

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.

 

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 the 2022 Form 10-K, as well as Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2022 Form 10-K, for a discussion of all our critical and significant accounting policies.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 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. Recent accounting pronouncements which may be applicable to us are described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, and in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Item 3 does not apply to us because we are a smaller reporting company.

 

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 December 31, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2022, that have 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.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company and one of its officers are parties to the following litigation matter:

 

Apogee Financial Investments, Inc., et al. v. India Globalization Capital, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:21-cv-03809 (U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York). On April 29, 2021, Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. (“Apogee”) and John R. Clarke (“Clarke”) filed a complaint against the Company and IGC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Ram Mukunda (“Mukunda”) (the “Apogee Litigation”). The litigation was originally initiated by IGC on February 8, 2021 (India Globalization Capital, Inc. v. Apogee Financial Investments, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:21-cv-01131, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York), wherein IGC alleged that Apogee breached a purchase agreement dated December 18, 2014, related to IGC’s intended purchase of a business known as Midtown Partners and Co., LLC (“Midtown”). In response to the original lawsuit filed by IGC, Apogee and Clarke filed a counterclaim as well as the Apogee Litigation. On June 28, 2021, Apogee and Clarke filed an amended complaint. On July 23, 2021, IGC and Mukunda moved to partially dismiss the counterclaim and the Apogee Litigation. On March 7, 2022, the Court granted the motion to dismiss in substantial part, leaving only two claims: Apogee’s counterclaim against the Company for an alleged breach of the purchase agreement; and Clarke’s claim against the Company for alleged breach of an alleged promise to issue him shares of the Company. The Company considers the counterclaim and the Apogee Litigation to be ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business. The Company and Mukunda deny any and all liability and, in particular, deny many of the factual allegations contained in Apogee’s and Mr. Clarke’s filings in the Apogee Litigation. Both the Company and Mukunda intend to vigorously defend the litigation and are represented by counsel for that purpose.
