NOTE 1–** BUSINESS DESCRIPTION**
Overview
IGC Pharma, a clinical-stage company developing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, is committed to transforming patient care by striving to offer faster-acting and more effective solutions. Our leading drug candidate, IGC-AD1, embodies this vision by tackling a critical challenge – managing agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia. Early results from our Phase 2 trial are promising: IGC-AD1 effectively reduced agitation in patients compared to a placebo, and crucially, it did so much faster than traditional medications. While existing anti-psychotics can take as long as 6 to 12 weeks to show effects, IGC-AD1 has the potential to act within 2 weeks. This significantly faster onset of action could significantly improve patient care and represents a potential breakthrough in managing Alzheimer’s-related agitation, although there can be no assurance thereof.
We currently have five platforms, each with a core molecule that can be modified. For example, the TGR family consists of many molecules, such as TGR-60, TGR-61, and TGR-63. TGR-63 targets plaques in Alzheimer’s. Similarly, the IGC-C and IGC-M platforms consist of many molecules. The Alzheimer’s targeting molecule from each of our platforms is set forth below:
IGC-AD1: Our lead investigational drug tackles agitation, a major burden for patients and caregivers. By addressing neuroinflammation, it has the potential to offer a faster-acting solution compared to traditional medications.
TGR-63: Through pre-clinical studies, TGR-63 has demonstrated its potential to disrupt the progression of Alzheimer’s by targeting Aβ plaques, a key disease hallmark.
IGC-1C: At the preclinical stage, IGC-1C represents a potential breakthrough by targeting tau protein and neurofibrillary tangles, aiming to modify the disease course.
IGC-M3: Also in preclinical development, IGC-M3 focuses on early intervention by inhibiting Aβ plaque formation, potentially slowing cognitive decline.
LMP: In preclinical development, LMP is designed to target multiple hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, including Aβ plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, for a comprehensive therapeutic effect.
We are also developing Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) models for predicting early Alzheimer’s detection biomarkers, optimizing clinical trials, and to help us explore new disease applications for our molecules. For example, our AI models are being developed to predict the probability that our molecules can work on other receptors, such as GLP1 (neurological disorders, weight loss), CB1 (neuropsychiatric conditions), among others. Additionally, our 26 patent filings, including for IGC-AD1, demonstrate our commitment to innovation and protecting our intellectual property. 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.

Update:
Phase 2 Clinical Trial
IGC Pharma launched a Phase 2 trial with a protocol titled “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” (clinicaltrials.gov, Identifier: CT05543681). The study is powered to include 146 Alzheimer’s patients; as a superiority trial with parallel groups; half of the participants will receive a placebo, and the other half will receive IGC-AD1.
The primary and secondary endpoints are the mean change in agitation scores from baseline, compared to placebo, as assessed by the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (“CMAI”) in Alzheimer’s patients after 6 weeks of treatment and the mean change in CMAI scores after 2 weeks of treatment, respectively. Agitation is rated at the trial site, at baseline, week 2, and week 6, by a trained practitioner using the CMAI, a scale designed and widely used to measure agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia (“AAD”) in clinical trials. The IGC-AD1 Phase 2 is an ongoing clinical trial that continues to enroll. IGC-AD1 is an oral liquid formulation administered twice daily (“bid”) for six weeks with no placebo run-in and titration to full dose over two days. To date over 1,000 oral doses have been administered, with no dose-limiting adverse events observed, highlighting the safety profile of IGC-AD1. The investigational product potentially targets different pathways implicated in agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia (“AAD”), including CB1 receptor dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and neurotransmitter imbalance.
AI / Machine Learning (“ML”)
In our pursuit of innovation, we leverage AI and ML. AI refers to the development of intelligent systems that can learn and act autonomously. ML is a branch of AI that allows computers to learn from data without the need for explicit programming. This technology plays arole in our efforts and could allow companies our size to do what previously was the domain of much larger pharmaceutical companies. For instance, we are utilizing ML by training transformers, a powerful neural network architecture, to analyze vast datasets from our Phase 1 and unblinded Phase 2 interim clinical trial to identify patterns and optimize the clinical trial protocol for a potential Phase 3 trial. The AI model, for example, can tell us if a particular neuropsychiatric scale that we used in Phase 1 and Phase 2 added valuable information to the trial, and if it did not, we could remove that scale from a future Phase 3 trial, thus saving money and time in the overall trial management. In the long term, with more data, the trained AI model could allow us to consider incoming patient signatures and predict outcomes for our drug, including adverse effects, thus personalizing the delivery of IGC-AD1.
Additionally, we are developing AI models that help us explore potential applications of molecules from our platforms beyond their initial Alzheimer’s targets; we know that TGR-63 and IGC-M3 target plaques in Alzheimer’s, however, AI models could help us consider applications of TGR-60, TGR-61, IGC-M1, IGC-M2, and many others. For example, we are investigating whether our molecules might interact with other receptors, like GLP-1. GLP-1 is a receptor linked to regulating blood sugar and is increasingly being studied for its potential role in neurological disorders, in addition to its established role in weight management. A successful link between our molecules and other targets potentially expands our opportunities, as some of these other markets, such as the weight loss market, are considerably larger than the Alzheimer’s market. These applications could potentially lead, if proven in future clinical trials, to new treatment avenues and broader market reach for our molecules. This analysis also potentially allows us to prioritize work on our molecules and optimize our resources.

NOTE 2–** SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying as of September 30, 2024 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, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for Fiscal 2024, filed with the SEC on June 24, 2024, specifically in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
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 the Company’s 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 the U.S., Colombia, and India and a portion of the Company’s financials are denominated in the Indian Rupee (“INR”), or the Colombian Peso (“COP”). As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. Dollar (“USD”), the INR, or the COP affect our financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements are reported in USD. INR 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 the working capital and investments with other financial options are 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.
| September 30, 2024, Form 10-Q
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 $44 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $10 thousand as of September 30, 2024, as compared to $39 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $24 thousand as of March 31, 2024.
Loss per share
The computation of basic loss per share for the six months ended September 30, 2024, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 11 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 six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 74,419,059 and 53,695,912, respectively, as compared to 76,007,129 and 54,301,087 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Due to the loss incurred by the Company during the six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, 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 to safeguard against hackers, however, there can be no assurance thereof. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, 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.

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.
