NOTE 1–** BUSINESS DESCRIPTION**
Overview
IGC Pharma is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and conditions related to the central nervous system. The company is pursuing five assets: IGC-AD1, TGR-63, LMP, IGC-1C, and IGC-M3, all of which target Alzheimer’s disease and are at various stages of development.
Our most clinically advanced investigational new drug for Alzheimer’s, IGC-AD1, has shown significant promise in preclinical studies. In Alzheimer’s cell lines, IGC-AD1 has demonstrated the potential to effectively suppress or ameliorate two key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease: plaques and tangles. In animal models, it has shown effectiveness in improving memory. Furthermore, in a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) trial, it exhibited potential efficacy in reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms, including agitation, anxiety, and depression. IGC-AD1 is currently in a Phase 2B, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, specifically designed to address agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s disease (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05543681). Alzheimer’s impacts more than 15 million individuals in North America and Europe. The Company has 13 trial sites under contract in the US and Canada for its Phase 2B trial.
Our portfolio includes four other small molecule assets, each at distinct stages of development, all with a singular mission — to transform the landscape of Alzheimer’s treatment. LMP targets neuroinflammation, Aβ plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles, TGR-63 targets Aβ plaque, where we seek to disrupt the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. IGC-M3 targets the inhibition of Aβ plaque aggregation with the potential to create a profound impact on early-stage Alzheimer’s. IGC-1C targets tau and neurofibrillary tangles, IGC-1C represents a forward-thinking approach to Alzheimer’s therapy.
Furthermore, IGC controls a total of 21 patent filings. IGC maintains a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Washington State, which is poised for potential use in a Phase 3 trial and commercialization of IGC-AD1. In Bogota, Colombia, we also operate an R&D laboratory and an internal Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) that provides clinical trial services. We are actively expanding our technological capabilities with a primary focus on Generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to enhance various aspects of clinical trial operations and data analysis. Our Company is investing in and pursuing AI development with an immediate focus on clinical trial processes, and analysis. Our AI initiatives are centered on informing clinical trials, developing a methodology for early detection of Alzheimer’s, and investigating the interaction of our molecules with cannabinoids.
Collectively, these core assets and initiatives underscore our commitment to advancing the field of pharmaceuticals, delivering groundbreaking treatments, and creating lasting value for our investors. We remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence and our mission to improve the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s and related conditions.
Our manufacturing facility is also utilized to produce women’s wellness products under the brand “Holief.” IGC Pharma is a Maryland corporation established in 2005 with a fiscal year ending on March 31, spanning a 52- or 53-week period. The Company operates in two primary business segments: Life Sciences and Infrastructure.
Life Sciences Segment
Pharmaceutical: Since 2014, the Company has focused primarily on the potential uses of phytocannabinoids, in combination with other compounds, to treat multiple diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. As a company engaged in the clinical-stage pharmaceutical industry, we focus our research and development efforts, subject to results of future clinical trials, on seeking pharmaceutical solutions that may a) alleviate neuropsychiatric symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, and depression associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease; and b) halt the onset, progression, or cure Alzheimer’s disease.
| December 31, 2023, Form 10-Q
Over-the-Counter Products: We have created a women’s wellness brand, Holief™, available through online channels that are compliant with relevant federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Holief™ is an all-natural, non-GMO, vegan, line of over-the-counter (“OTC”) products aimed at treating menstrual cramps (“dysmenorrhea”) and premenstrual syndrome (“PMS”). The products are available online and through Amazon and other online channels. In addition, we white label our product formulations to other companies that market them under their brand.
Phase 2 Clinical Trial Update
In this document, we use the terms Phase 2 and Phase 2B interchangeably, though typically, a Phase 2 trial is divided into a Phase 2A and a Phase 2B trial. Phase 2A is designed to assess dosing requirements, while Phase 2B is intended to establish efficacy. Our company has started a Phase 2B protocol called “A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled trial of the safety and efficacy of IGC-AD1 on agitation in participants with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.” The trial is powered at 146 Alzheimer’s patients, with half receiving a placebo, and is a superior, parallel-group study.
The primary end point is agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease, as rated by the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (“CMAI”) over a six-week period. The Phase 2 trial will also look at eleven exploratory objectives, including changes in anxiety, changes in cognitive processes such as attention, orientation, language, and visual spatial skills as well as memory, changes in depression, delusions, hallucinations, euphoria/elation, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor behavior, sleep disorder, appetite, quality of life, and caregiver burden. In addition, the trial will evaluate the impact of CYP450 polymorphisms and specifically CYP2C9 on each of the NPS and assess any reductions in psychotropic drugs, among others. CYP2C9 ranks amongst the most important drug metabolizing enzymes in humans, as it breaks down over 100 drugs, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We seek to understand how various versions of the enzyme act on IGC-AD1. Each participant will receive two doses of IGC-AD1 (“b.i.d.”) or two doses of placebo per day for six weeks.
Infrastructure Segment

NOTE 2–** SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying as of December 31, 2023 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) within its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and under the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023, filed with the SEC on July 7, 2023, specifically in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
| December 31, 2023, Form 10-Q
Principles of consolidation
The interim statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of Management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Presentation and functional currencies
The Company operates in India, the U.S., Colombia, and Hong Kong, and a portion of the Company’s financials are denominated in the Indian Rupee (“INR”), the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), or the Colombian Peso (“COP”). As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. Dollar (“USD”), the INR, the HKD, or the COP affect our financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements are reported in USD. INR, HKD, and COP are the functional currencies for certain subsidiaries of the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into USD is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Going Concern
The Company assesses and determines its ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, which requires the Company to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is currently in a clinical trial stage and, thus, has not yet achieved profitability. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses and negative cash flows from operations in the near future.
The Company estimates that its current cash and cash equivalents balance with working capital credit facility is sufficient to support operations beyond the twelve months following the date these consolidated financial statements and footnotes were issued. These estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects.
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 $92 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $12 thousand as of December 31, 2023, as compared to $107 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $17 thousand as of March 31, 2023.
Loss per share
The computation of basic loss per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 9 million shares, which includes share options, unvested shares such as restricted shares and restricted share units, granted to employees, non-employees, and advisors, 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, 2023, and 2022, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 57,039,035 and 52,412,830, respectively, as compared to 63,725,084 and 53,074,123 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Due to the loss incurred by the Company during the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, all the potential equity shares are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, the fully diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS.
| December 31, 2023, Form 10-Q
Cybersecurity
We have a cybersecurity policy in place and have taken cybersecurity measures to safeguard against hackers, however, there can be no assurance thereof. During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, there were no impactful breaches in cybersecurity.
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 segment is recognized for the renting business when the equipment is rented, and the terms of the agreement have been fulfilled during the period. Revenue from the execution of infrastructure contracts is recognized based on 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 white label services is recognized when the performance obligation has been completed, and output material has been transferred to the customer.
Net sales disaggregated by significant products and services for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 are as follows:

NOTE 15–** FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s investments may consist of money market funds, debt and equity funds, and other marketable securities, among others, which have been classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they have been valued using quoted prices in active markets. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents have also been classified as Level 1 on the same principle. Financial instruments are classified as current if they are expected to be liquidated within the next twelve months. The Certificates of Deposit are classified as Level 2 as they do not have regular market pricing, but their fair value can be determined based on other data values or market prices. The Company’s remaining investments have been classified as Level 3 instruments as there is little or no market data. Level 3 investments are valued using the cost method.

NOTE 16–** SEGMENT INFORMATION**
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 CODM evaluates revenues and gross profits based on product lines and routes to market. Based on our integration and Management strategies, we operate intwo reportable segments, the (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 determined that it operated in a single operating and reportable segment. As of the date of this report and in preparation for the new and different source of revenue, the Company has determined that it operates intwo operating and reportable segments, the (a) Infrastructure segment and (b) Life Sciences segment. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for Management reporting purposes.
