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 identified in the “Risk Factors” set forth in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 13, 2020, in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on August 19, 2020and November 20, 2020, respectively 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.

Business
At IGC, we are dedicated to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements containedfuture of pharmaceuticals and wellness products through innovative research in cannabinoid sciences. Devastating diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Epilepsy and chronic pain collectively affect more than one billion people worldwide. We believe life-altering solutions are within the reach of the current generation by applying creative concepts, dedicated study, and a passion for community and wellness empowerment, to cutting edge research, technology and product development.
Since 2014, our team has been committed to researching the application of cannabinoids, sometimes in combination with other compounds, to address various ailments, using our research to develop intellectual property, formulations and multiple wellness and lifestyle brands. Separately, and in addition, since 2008, we have an infrastructure business managed from India, which involves the execution of construction projects, the purchase and resale of physical commodities mostly used in infrastructure, and the rental of heavy construction equipment.
The Company’s principal office is located in the U.S. in Maryland. Additionally, the Company has a facility in Washington and offices in Colombia, Hong Kong, and India.
SEC Settlement update
On December 21, 2020, the Company and our CEO, Ram Mukunda, reached a settlement (“Settlement”), with the SEC related to disclosures made in our March 26, 2018 press release regarding the timeframe for the availability of our first cannabis product, Hyalolex™, now known as Hyalolex Drops of Clarity™. Under the terms of the Settlement, without admitting or denying the factual allegations, we and Mr. Mukunda consented to the entry of an order by the SEC pursuant to which: (i) we and Mr. Mukunda will cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act; (ii) we and Mr. Mukunda paid civil monetary penalties of $175,000 and $35,000, respectively to the SEC; and (iii) we have retained an independent compliance consultant to conduct a compliance program assessment and make recommendations related to our internal policies and procedures regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures with an emphasis on our press releases and social media posts.
Phase 1 Trial updates
On July 30, 2020, we received a notice from the FDA to proceed with a 12-subject Phase 1 human clinical trial (“removal of full clinical hold”) on our INDA, submitted under Section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, for our “IGC-AD1” proprietary formulation. The Phase 1 trial is proposed to involve a randomized placebo-controlled multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) study to evaluate safety and tolerability of IGC-AD1 in subjects with mild to severe dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the study will evaluate Pharmacokinetics (“PK”) of IGC-AD1 as it relates to polymorphisms of CYP2C9 and collect data on neurological and psychological factors. Our IGC-AD1 formulation is based on a patent filed by the University of South Florida (USF) that uses a cannabinoid as one of the active ingredients. We have exclusive rights to the patent filing. Hyalolex Drops of Clarity™, an oral tincture, is also modeled around the patent filing by USF. During the quarter the Company prepared to enroll patients.

COVID-19 update
We believe that the current COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on certain aspects of the economy have negatively impacted our revenue and increased our expenses. In the past nine 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 of the U.S. and our Delhi office have had COVID-19 outbreaks that have led to closures, delays and expenses.
In response, we have and continue to make efforts to decrease our overhead expenses and have oriented our primary focus on the human trials on IGC-AD1. 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 COVID-19 pandemic allows.

Management believes that the results that may be expected for any other interim period or forestimates and assumptions used in the full year. The significant accounting policies adopted bypreparation of the Company, in respect of these consolidated financial statements are set outprudent 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

Short-term and long-term investments
Our policy for short-term and long-term investments is to establish a high-quality portfolio that preserves principal, meets liquidity needs, avoids inappropriate concentrations, and delivers an appropriate yield in relationship to our investment guidelines and market conditions. Short-term and long-term investments consist of corporate, various government agency and municipal debt securities, as well as certificates of deposit that have maturity dates that are greater than 90 days. Certificates of deposit and commercial paper are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Available-for-sale securities: Investments in debt securities that are classified as available for sale shall be measured subsequently at fair value in the statement of financial position.
| December 31, 2020 Form 10-Q
Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs. Where the Company’s ownership interest is in excess of 20% and the Company has a significant influence, the Company has accounted for the investment based on the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, “Investments – Equity method and Joint Ventures”. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the equity investee is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and its share of post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) is recognized in other comprehensive income / (loss). Where the Company does not have significant influence, the Company has accounted for the investment in accordance with ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities”.
As of December 31, 2020, investment in marketable securities is valued at fair value and investment in non-marketable securities with ownership less than 20% is valued at cost as per ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities”.
Stock – based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite vesting period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. For stock-based employee compensation cost recognized at any date will be at least equal to the amount attributable to the share-based compensation that is vested at that date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent Management’s best estimates. 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 $226 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for doubtful debt of $10 thousand as of December 31, 2020, as compared to $133 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for doubtful debt of $9 thousand as of March 31, 2020.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, 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, 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, 2020 Form 10-Q
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instrument includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items. Please refer to Note 16 - “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further information.
Loss per share
The computation of basic loss per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 3.2 million shares which includes share options, unvested shares such as restricted shares and restricted share units, granted to employees and advisors, warrants, and shares from the conversion of outstanding units, if any, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 40,915,196 and 39,543,480 respectively. Due to the loss incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, all the potential equity shares are anti-dilutive and accordingly, the fully diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS.
Cybersecurity
We have a cybersecurity policy in place and have taken cybersecurity measures that we expect are likely to safeguard the Company against breaches. In the nine months ended December 31, 2020, there were no impactful breaches in cybersecurity.
Intangible assets
The Company's intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intellectual property, all of which 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 a 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.
| December 31, 2020 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 have been transferred to the customer. Revenue from the execution of infrastructure contracts is recognized on the basis of the output method as and when part of the performance obligation has been completed and approval from the contracting agency has been obtained after survey of the performance completion as of that date. In the Life Sciences segment, the revenue from the wellness and lifestyle business is recognized once goods have been sold to the customer and the performance obligation has been completed. In retail sales, we offer consumer products through our online 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, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

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 the majority of the Company’s new leases as compared to similar existing leases; however, certain categories of new leases could have different revenue recognition patterns as compared to similar existing leases.
For leases that are accounted for as operating leases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. Generally, when a lease is more than 180 days delinquent (where more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on nonaccrual and the Company stops recognizing leasing income on that date. Payments received on leases in nonaccrual status generally reduce the lease receivable. Leases on nonaccrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in the Company’s judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full.
Lessee Accounting
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. In connection with the adoption, the Company will elect to utilize the modified retrospective presentation whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company will elect the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, the Company will adopt a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of 12 months or less), and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets.
Under ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. There was $15,297no impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of December 31, 2020.

The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases. On certain lease agreements, the Company may receive rent holidays and $391,617 respectively. Capitalother incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Please refer “Note 9 - Leases”, for further information.
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable, or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

NOTE 11 – LOANS AND OTHER LIABILITIES
Short-term and Long -term loans:
During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid a secured loan of $50 thousand. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has the following loans:
a) | On May 3, 2020, the Company signed the Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note (the “PPP Note”) and Agreement for a loan of approximately $430 thousand. The Loan is established pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP Note matures after 2 years on May 3, 2022, with monthly repayments of approximately $18 thousand commencing November 1, 2020. Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual fixed rate of 1.00%. As of the three months ended December 31, 2020, the interest expense for the PPP Note was approximately $702. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $250 thousand of the loan is classified as Short-term loans and approximately$180 thousand of the loan as Long-term loans. The CARES Act and the PPP Note provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP Note, the Company may apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or part of the PPP Note. The amount of loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness is based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including the amount of loan proceeds used by the Company during the eight or twenty-four week period after the loan origination for certain purposes including payroll costs, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, provided that at least 60% of the loan amount is used for eligible payroll costs; the employer maintaining or rehiring employees and maintaining salaries at certain levels; and other factors. Subject to the other requirements and limitations on loan forgiveness, only loan proceeds spent on payroll and other eligible costs during the covered eight or twenty-four-week period will qualify for forgiveness. Forgiveness of the loan is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The Company believes it has used the entire loan amount for qualifying expense, though no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Note in whole or in part. |
b) | On June 11, 2020, the Company also received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan 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. SBA will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day SBA receives the payment and will then apply any remaining balance to reduce principal. All remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable in 30 years from the date of the loan. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $148 thousand of the loan is classified as Long-term loans and approximately $2 thousand as Short-term loans. |

NOTE 2218 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 fair valueCODM evaluates revenues and gross profits based on product lines and routes to market. Based on our integration and Management strategies, we operate in two reportable segments: (i) Infrastructure segment and (ii) Life Sciences segment.
The Company’s CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Therefore, and before our Life Sciences segment started, the Company had determined that it operated in a single operating and reportable segment. As of the Company’s current assetsdate of this report and current liabilities approximate their carrying value becausein preparation for the new and different source of their short-term nature. Such financial instruments are classified as currentrevenue, the Company has determined that it operates in two operating and are expected to be liquidated within the next twelve months.

Overview
Our primary source of business. The first is a legacy infrastructure business, which consists of heavy equipment rental, trading infrastructure related commodities, and real estate management. The second is a cannabis pharmaceutical business that has developed a lead product, Hyalolex, for treating patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The Company recently announced that it is working on using blockchain to address issues specific to the cannabis industry including transactional difficulties, product labeling, product identification assurance (PIA), and product origin assurance (POA).
The Company operates both segments in compliance with applicable state, national, and local laws and regulations and only in locations and regions where it is legal to do so. Further information on the Company highlights in the nine months ended December 31, 2020, can be found in Part I, Item 1, Note 1 - Business Description, “Business updates”.
Sales Strategy
We have a two-pronged strategy for our Life Sciences, biotech component: the initial prong is to investigate IGC-AD1 for 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, with the anticipated goal of demonstrating efficacy and potentially obtaining FDA approval for IGC-AD1 as compareda cannabinoid-based formulation that can help manage some symptoms for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The second prong is to $121,829investigate the potential efficacy of IGC-AD1 on memory and/or decreasing or managing plaques and tangles, some of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease.
Our pipeline of investigational cannabinoid formulations include pain creams and tinctures for pain relief. We believe that the biotech portion of our Life Sciences strategy will take several years and involves considerable risk; however, we believe it may involve greater defensible growth potential and first-to-market advantage.
Our shorter-term strategy also includes becoming vertically integrated in the hemp industry as we believe this may afford us the opportunity to create the right processes, quality and replicability for eventually creating pharmaceutical grade formulations. We also believe this may provide us with several profit opportunities, all conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and only in locations where it is legal to do so, such as:
● | sale of our products, under the Herbo™, Hyalolex™, Holief™, and Sunday Seltzer™ brand lines, among others; |
● | white labelling of products such as CBD infused lotions, creams, and oils for other brands; |
● | wholesale of hemp extracts including hemp crude extract and hemp isolate; |
● | processing of hemp biomass and crude oil for farmers in the Northwest U.S. and Canada; and |
● | using our manufacturing and trading platform for trading in infrastructure commodities to assist in delivering emergency products such as hand sanitizers, gloves, and other personal protection equipment for the length of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
We believe that the additional investment in clinical trials, research and development (“R&D”), facilities, marketing and advertising, as well 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.
| December 31, 2020 Form 10-Q
Our strategy for the Infrastructure segment is to invest in and competitively bid on construction contracts, for example to build roads, bridges and other civil works in Kerala, India, and to opportunistically buy and sell infrastructure and other commodities, as well as personal protection equipment. We are currently experiencing a lack of certainty in this business segment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home and shelter in place orders.
COVID-19 Update
We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and from restrictions imposed by governmental entities related thereto on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Revenue from the infrastructure segment continues to be adversely affected as we are unable to fully deploy our workforce. In response to the evolving circumstances, we supplemented our facilities to manufacture, label, and distribute FDA-registered alcohol-based hand sanitizers and hand rubs. We anticipate reduced revenue from Infrastructure, and also unpredictable revenue from the Life Sciences segment as the world economy remains impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the nine months ended December 31, 2020:
1. | Our revenue from the infrastructure business remains adversely affected with increased expenses. However, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we have commenced limited operations for the completion of the road building contract that we have been awarded. |
2. | A majority of our hemp processing and distillation equipment is sourced from China. While we took delivery of the equipment, the commissioning and certification of the equipment continues to be delayed. |

In addition to the Risk Factors reported herein, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosedidentified in the Company’s 2020 annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020, the Risk Factors identified in our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2020, and November 20, 2020 together with all other information included in this report in evaluating our company and our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock and other securities also could be adversely affected. We make various statements in this section, which constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
The Company incorporates by reference as if fully set forth and restated herein all Risk Factors identified in our 2020 Form 10-K and the Risk Factors identified in our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 19, 2020 and November 20, 2020. Additionally, risks and uncertainty of which we are unaware or which currently we deem immaterial also may become important factor that affects us. The additional risk factor has been mentioned below. The Risk Factor stated and incorporated herein is not intended to represent the universe of Risk Factors that may be relevant to the evaluation of our company and our common stock, and the public is directed to any Risk Factor or other disclaimer included in any other public announcement, SEC filing, and press release by the Company for any additional Risk Factors or disclaimers related to those specific announcements, filings, and press releases.
Our common stock price has fluctuated considerably and has recently reached our highest price levels, which may not be sustained.
The market price of shares of our common stock has fluctuated substantially in recent years and is likely to fluctuate significantly from its current level. During the fiscal year ended Marchprior 6 months, for example, the market price of our shares has ranged from a low of $ 0.64 per share to a recent high of $ 3.10 per share. Future announcements concerning the introduction of new products, services or technologies or changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors or changes in earnings estimates by analysts, among other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in the last year. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many public companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may also cause declines in the market price of our common stock. Investors seeking short-term liquidity should be aware that we cannot assure that the stock price will continue at these or any higher levels.
A possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to further price volatility in our common stock.
Investors may purchase shares of our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in shares of our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchase the shares necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline. We believe that the recent volatility in our common stock may be due, in part, to short squeezes that may be temporarily increasing the price of our common stock, which could result in a loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
The Company is a defendant in a shareholder class action lawsuit, and the outcome of litigation cannot be accurately predicted.
On November 2, 2018, an IGC shareholder initiated a shareholder class action complaint against the Company and two of its officers and directors on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated. The shareholder has not disclosed the amount of damages sought in the litigation. The Company denies any and all liability and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the potential future results of this specific litigation turn on many factors that cannot be accurately anticipated at this stage of the litigation. An adverse decision in the litigation, to the extent the same is not adequately covered by insurance, could substantially impact the Company’s finances and its ability to conduct trials, develop and innovate its brands and products, and compete in the market.
