BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) announces its financial results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020.

During Fiscal 2020, total revenue was approximately $4.1 million compared to approximately $5.1 million for Fiscal 2019. In both years, revenue was primarily derived from our India-based Infrastructure Business. In Fiscal 2020, the Company generated $411,000 revenue from its Life Sciences segment that was previously referred to as the Plant and Cannabinoid segment. Revenue in Fiscal 2020 was lower than Fiscal 2019 primarily due to economic slowdown, social distancing, travel and stay at home restrictions brought on by Covid-19 in the last quarter of our fiscal year.

The highlights for Fiscal 2020 are:

1. We filed a provisional patent, IGC 510, Compositions and Methods using cannabidiol (“CBD”) for treating stammering and symptoms of Tourette syndrome with the USPTO.
2. We received notification that on March 24, 2020, the USPTO issued a method and composition patent (#10,596,159 B2) for the Company’s cannabinoid formulation for the treatment of cachexia and eating disorders in humans and veterinary animals.
3. The Company filed an Investigational New Drug Application with the FDA for a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 100-person trial, for its proprietary patent-pending formulation based on IGC-AD1 that uses ultra-low doses of cannabinoids with other natural compounds intended to assist in the management of the care of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
4. We established a facility in San Juan, Puerto Rico to house and conduct clinical trials.
5. We established a production and manufacturing facility in Washington State.
6. The Company, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, adapted the manufacturing facilities to produce and package hand sanitizers that are anticipated to go on sale in Fiscal 2021.
7. We completed the development of several online and retail brands, building out our “house of CBD brands” that we anticipate will come to market in accordance with applicable law and regulation in the future.

General and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2020 was approximately $6 million as compared to approximately $3.5 million for Fiscal 2019. The increase is largely attributed to increased legal fees, and increased compensation expenses from an increased employee and contractor head count. We anticipate legal fees will abate over Fiscal 2021.

Research and Development (R&D) expense for Fiscal 2020 was approximately $1 million compared to approximately $1.3 million for the Fiscal 2019. The cost associated with this work is mostly research comprising of plant extracts, data to support the efficacy of extracts, and running FDA trials.

Net loss for Fiscal 2020 was approximately $7.3 million or $0.19 per share, compared to approximately $4.1 million or $0.13 per share for Fiscal 2019. The larger loss is largely attributed to increased legal and increased employee-related expenses.

On July 6, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland entered an order formally and finally approving a settlement that resolves all pending shareholder derivative suits filed against the Company between November 2018 and the present. Details of the settlement were previously disclosed on May 7, 2020 and in the Company’s public filings.
