IGC Reports Financial Results for September 30, 2020 Quarter and Start of Phase 1 Cannabinoid Clinical Trial for Alzheimer’s Patients

November 23, 2020 Off By BusinessWire

POTOMAC, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AD–India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: IGC) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which is the second quarter of its 2021 fiscal year, and the start of Phase 1 cannabinoid-based clinical trial for Alzheimer’s Patients.

Revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, were $125 thousand and $1,821 thousand, respectively. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was approximately 53% from the infrastructure segment and approximately 47% from the Life Science segment. In comparison, the revenue in the September 2019 quarter was primarily from infrastructure. In the past 6 months, our ability to provide services and distribute our products has been impacted due to store closures and abandoned harvests of hemp. Our facility on the West Coast, and our Delhi office, both have had COVID-19 outbreaks that have led to closures, delays, and expenses. In response to the evolving dynamics of the pandemic, we have decreased our staff in select areas, delayed and may terminate the acquisition of Evolve I, Inc., and reoriented our sales focus to online.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our primary focus has been to initiate and carry out the Phase 1 clinical trial on our Investigational Drug Candidate IGC-AD1.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $389 thousand or 36% to $1,483 thousand for three months ended September 30, 2020, from $1,094 thousand for three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of approximately $0.4 million is attributed to a one-time settlement expense of approximately $50 thousand, compensation expenses attributed to increased head count and associated employee-related expenses, marketing expense related to expansion of brands, and depreciation expense related to increase in Property, Plant and Equipment. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as one-time legal and other one-time expenses continue to abate over the rest of this fiscal year.

Net comprehensive loss was approximately $1.5 million or $0.04 per share, for the September 2020 quarter, compared to approximately $1.3 million or $0.03 per share for the September 2019 quarter. Most of the increased loss is attributable to the increased SG&A.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based largely on IGC’s expectations and are subject to several risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond IGC’s control. For the next several years, our success is highly correlated primarily with the successful outcome of our clinical trials and the recovery of the world and local economies following the COVID-19 pandemic, and, secondarily, on the sale of our products and services candidates. IGC may not be able to complete human trials on our investigational drug candidates, or, once conducted, the results of human trials testing results may not be favorable or as anticipated. Our projections and investments anticipate stable pricing, which may not hold out over the next several years, and certain regulatory changes, specifically in states where medical cannabis has been, is, or will be legalized and the diseases which we anticipate our products will target are approved conditions for treatment or usage with cannabis/ cannabinoids. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately or receive patents. We may not receive regulatory approval for our products, or trials. An additional risk factor worth highlighting specifically related to the patent licensing is that the patent applications we have licensed may not be granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), even if the Company is in full compliance with USPTO requirements. We may not have adequate resources including financial resources, to successfully conduct all requisite clinical trials, to bring a product 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. Failure or delay with respect to any of the factors above could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, our stock price, and our financial condition. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, competitive conditions in the industries in which IGC operates; failure to commercialize one or more of the technologies of IGC; general economic conditions that are less favorable than expected; the FDA’s general position regarding hemp-based products; the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on global and regional economies in which IGC participates; and other factors, many of which are discussed in IGC’s SEC filings. IGC incorporates by reference the Risk Factors identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020; Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2020 and November 20, 2020, as if fully incorporated and restated herein. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this release will in fact occur.
