IGC Announces Financial Results for Quarter Ended June 30, 2017

Alzheimer’s Licensing Agreement Highlights Cannabis-Based IP Portfolio Targeting Large Market Conditions


BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:IGC) announces financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“During the quarter, we secured an IP licensing agreement from the University of South Florida addressing a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.  This patent filing claims discovery of a new pathway: low doses of THC bind to amyloid beta plaques and prevent those plaques from aggregating on neurons, which is what occurs in Alzheimer’s disease and causes cognitive decline.  IGC expects to release mouse data showing that this pathway and therapy have possible blockbuster potential in treating Alzheimer’s disease.  We expect to take this exciting treatment to human medical trials as soon as possible,” stated Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC.

Total revenue was $52,926 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $288,493 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in revenue is attributable to the corporate mandate to extricate IGC from the electronic and iron ore trading businesses and focus management on medical cannabis therapies. The revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017 is all from the rental of heavy equipment and real estate management.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $436,351 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $307,772 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  Most of these expenses are a result of public-company expenses, including legal fees.

The Company reported a consolidated GAAP net income loss of $432,141 and a GAAP EPS loss of $0.02 compared to a GAAP net income loss of $383,566 and a GAAP EPS loss of $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in loss is due to increased SG&A related to marketing programs that the company initiated.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, our non-GAAP cash burn was approximately $389,577.

At the end of June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents along with restricted cash was $345,610 with working capital of $623,984. We anticipate securing additional capital to further our patent portfolio and commence medical trials on our Alzheimer’s product.
