POTOMAC, Md., November 01, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) (“IGC” or the “Company”) today reported its second fiscal quarter 2023 financial results.

 

Second Fiscal Quarter 2023 Highlights:

  • IGC-AD1 and TGR-63, both small molecules, have shown potential to suppress or ameliorate a key protein in Alzheimer’s cell lines responsible for Aβ plaques, a key hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The Company currently has two main investigational drug assets in various stages of development:
    • IGC-AD1: The Company’s therapeutic candidate is entering Phase 2 trials for treating agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s disease.
    • TGR-63: An enzyme inhibitor shown in preclinical trials to reduce neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s cell lines.
  • The Company has completed a Phase 1 trial, a safety and tolerability trial, on IGC-AD1, and has submitted a Phase 2 protocol to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and to Health Canada that involves 146 Alzheimer’s patients, with half receiving a placebo. The primary endpoint is agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease as rated by the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (“CMAI”) over a six-week period. The Company has signed agreements with trial sites for conducting the trials.
  • On Sept. 20, 2022, the USPTO granted a second patent (#11,446,276) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease titled “Extreme low dose THC as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for Alzheimer’s disease.” The original patent application was initiated by the University of South Florida (“USF”) and filed on Aug. 1, 2016. On May 25, 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with USF with respect to the patent application and the associated research conducted on Alzheimer’s disease. IGC-AD1, described above, is partially based on this research.
  • Sales of the Company’s CBD-infused products and services increased about 345% for the six-months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the six-months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Ram Mukunda, CEO of India Globalization Capital, commented, “We are very pleased with the developments we have made this quarter, especially as they pertain to our investigational drug candidate, IGC-AD1. We believe that we possess a revolutionary drug formulation that could provide much-needed relief for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. This drug is the first natural low-dose THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)-based drug formulation to enter FDA trials and has the potential to fill a very prevalent void in the broad and expanding market for the treatment of Alzheimer’s symptoms.”

 

“We continue to see increased market traction for our line of products like HoliefTM, which offers CBD-based gummies, tinctures, capsules, and topical analgesic creams for pain relief, and Sunday SeltzerTM, our CBD-infused beverage brand that includes our energy drink,” Mukunda continued.

 

Revenue was approximately $202,000 for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2022, compared to $56,000 for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily related to increased sales of the Company’s CBD-based products and services including its CBD-infused energy beverages.

 

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were approximately $1.9 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease of $2.2 million is attributed to an adjustment of one-time expenses and a reduction of 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 (“R&D”) expenses were $768,000 for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2022, compared to approximately $276,000 for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2021. The increase of approximately $492,000 was primarily attributable to the progression of Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and preclinical studies on TGR-63. The Company anticipates increased R&D expenses as the development of TGR-63 and the Phase 2 trial on IGC-AD1 gain momentum.

 

Net loss for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2022, was approximately $2.4 million or ($0.05) per share, compared to approximately $4.3 million or ($0.09) per share for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2021.
