NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Overview
IGC Pharma, Inc., is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with a diversified revenue model that develops prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) products. We are a Maryland corporation established in 2005 with a fiscal year that is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on March 31.
Our focus is on developing innovative therapies for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, and sleep disorders. We also focus on formulations for eating disorders, chronic pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and dysmenorrhea, in addition to health and wellness OTC formulations. The Company is developing its proprietary lead candidate, IGC-AD1, an investigational oral therapy for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2 (Phase 2B) clinical trials after completing nearly a decade of research and realizing positive results from pre-clinical and a Phase 1 trial. This previous research into IGC-AD1 has demonstrated efficacy in reducing plaques and tangles, which are two important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, as well as reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, such as agitation.
IGC has two 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.
The Company currently has two main investigational small molecules in various stages of development:
1) IGC-AD1 , our proprietary lead therapeutic candidate, is a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) based formulation that has demonstrated in Alzheimer’s cell lines the potential to reduce the buildup of Aβ plaques and the potential to decrease or inhibit the phosphorylation of tau, a protein that is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), both important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. In addition, Phase 1 human trial results demonstrated IGC-AD1’s potential to reduce agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2B trials for treating agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s, a condition that affects over 10 million individuals in North America and Europe, and
2) TGR-63 , non-cannabinoid small molecule that has shown promise in pre-clinical trials for reducing amyloid burden in an Alzheimer’s disease model. In Alzheimer’s, the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain leads to the formation of Aβ plaques, which are associated with neurotoxicity and cell dysfunction, ultimately leading to cell death and cognitive decline. The potential efficacy of TGR-63 lies in its ability to inhibit the aggregation of beta-amyloid. If shown to be safe and efficacious in human trials in reducing the formation of Aβ plaques, this molecule could halt the neurotoxic process caused by beta-amyloid, thereby preventing or treating Alzheimer’s.

Table of Contents
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 sell our product formulations to other companies that market them under their brand. This is the white label part of the OTC business.
Phase 2 Clinical Trial
Typically, a Phase 2 trial is divided into a Phase 2A and a Phase 2B trial with the former designed to assess dosing requirements and the latter to establish efficacy. In this document, we refer to the trial as Phase 2 and Phase 2B interchangeably. The Company has initiated a Phase 2B 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”. The protocol is powered at 146 Alzheimer’s patients, with half receiving placebo, and is a superiority, 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 all 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.
Business Organization
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had the following operating subsidiaries: Techni Bharathi Private Limited (TBL), IGCare LLC, Holi Hemp LLC, IGC Pharma LLC, SAN Holdings LLC, Sunday Seltzer, LLC, Hamsa Biopharma India Pvt. Ltd. And Colombia-based beneficially-owned subsidiary IGC Pharma SAS (formerly Hamsa Biopharma Colombia SAS) (Hamsa). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period that ends on March 31. The Company’s principal office is in Maryland established in 2005. Additionally, the Company has offices in Washington state, Colombia, and India. The Company’s filings are available on www.sec.gov.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

Table of Contents
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 and equity investment 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 $ 17 thousand of provision for the doubtful debt of $ 225 thousand as of June 30, 2023, as compared to $ 107 thousand of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023.
Loss per share
The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2023, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 10 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. In addition, the Company entered into a private placement agreement on June 30, 2023. As per the terms of the agreement, the Company will issue 10 million shares of unregistered common stock.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 53,077,436 and 51,616,598 , respectively. Due to the loss incurred by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, 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 three months ended June 30, 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 on the basis of 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 ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 are as follows:

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Newly issued ASUs not listed are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable, or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

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 in two reportable segments: (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 in two operating and reportable segments: (a) Infrastructure segment and (b) Life Sciences segment. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for Management reporting purposes.

Item 2. Management ’ s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is to provide an understanding of IGC Pharma, Inc.’s (“IGC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) consolidated financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on July 7, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause differences include those discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections and discussed elsewhere in this report. The risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ significantly from those in our forward-looking statements or implied in historical results and trends. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us, which speak only as of the date they are made. We disclaim any obligation, except as expressly required by law and the rules of the SEC, to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those outlined in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
IGC Pharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with a diversified revenue model that develops both prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) products. Our focus is on developing innovative therapies for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, and sleep disorders. We also focus on formulations for eating disorders, chronic pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and dysmenorrhea, in addition to health and wellness OTC formulations. The Company is developing its lead candidate, IGC-AD1, an investigational oral therapy for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2 (Phase 2B) clinical trials after completing nearly a decade of research and realizing positive results from pre-clinical and a Phase 1 trial. This previous research into IGC-AD1 has demonstrated efficacy in reducing plaques and tangles, which are two important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, as well as reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, such as agitation. We were formerly known as India Globalization Capital, Inc. and incorporated in Maryland on April 29, 2005. Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending March 31.
Currently, most of our revenue comes from the Life Sciences segment and, in the future, we believe, from our investigational drugs for treating Alzheimer’s disease. We have also built a facility for a potential Phase 3 trial and have strategic relations for the procurement of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). In addition, we have acquired and initiated work on TGR-63, a pre-clinical molecule that exhibits an impressive affinity for reducing neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s cell lines. The advancement of IGC-AD1 into Phase 2 trials represents a significant milestone for the company and positions us for multiple pathways to future success. Although there can be no assurance, we anticipate that the positive outcomes from these and other trials will drive further growth, valuation, and market potential for IGC-AD1.
IGC has two 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.
The Company currently has two main investigational small molecules in various stages of development:
1) IGC-AD1 , our proprietary lead therapeutic candidate, is a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) based formulation that has demonstrated in Alzheimer’s cell lines, the potential to reduce the buildup of Aβ plaques and the potential to decrease or inhibit the phosphorylation of tau, a protein that is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), both important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. In addition, Phase 1 human trial results demonstrated IGC-AD1’s potential to reduce agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2B trials for treating agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s, a condition that affects over 10-million individuals in North America and Europe, and
| June 30, 2023, Form 10-Q
20
Table of Contents
2) TGR-63 , is a non-cannabinoid small molecule that has shown promise in pre-clinical trials for reducing amyloid burden in an Alzheimer’s disease model. In Alzheimer’s, the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain leads to the formation of Aβ plaques, which are associated with neurotoxicity and cell dysfunction, ultimately leading to cell death and cognitive decline. The potential efficacy of TGR-63 lies in its ability to inhibit the aggregation of beta-amyloid. If shown to be safe and efficacious in human trials in reducing the formation of Aβ plaques, this molecule could halt the neurotoxic process caused by beta-amyloid, thereby preventing, or treating Alzheimer’s.
Currently, IGC-AD1 is in a Phase 2B safety and efficacy clinical trial for agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05543681). The progress we are making in the clinic, gives us confidence in the potential of IGC-AD1 as a potentially groundbreaking therapy, with the potential to treat Alzheimer’s and also to manage devastating symptoms that separate families, increase admissions to nursing homes, and drive the cost of Alzheimer’s care, although there can be no assurance.
We have a two-pronged approach for our Alzheimer’s investigational drug development strategy, the first prong is to investigate IGC-AD1 as an Alzheimer’s symptoms modifying agent, and the second is to investigate TGR-63 as a disease modifying agent. This involves conducting more trials on IGC-AD1 over the next few years, subject to FDA approval, with, although there can be no assurance, the anticipated goal of demonstrating safety and efficacy and potentially obtaining FDA approval for IGC-AD1 as a cannabinoid-based new drug that can help to manage agitation for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The second prong is to investigate the potential efficacy of TGR-63 on memory and/or decreasing or managing plaques and tangles, some of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease.
Although there can be no assurance, we believe that additional investment in clinical trials, research, and development (“R&D’), facilities, marketing, advertising, and acquisition of complementary products and businesses supporting our Life Sciences segment will be critical to the development and delivery of innovative products and positive patient and customer experiences. We hope to leverage our R&D and intellectual property to develop ground-breaking, science-based products that are proven effective through planned pre-clinical and clinical trials. Although there can be no assurance, we believe this strategy has the potential to improve existing products and lead to the creation of new products, which, based on scientific study and research, may offer positive results for the management of certain conditions, symptoms, and side effects.
While the bulk of our medium and longer-term focus is on clinical trials and getting IGC-AD1 to be an FDA approved drug, our shorter-term strategy, is to use our resources to provide white label services and market Holief™. We believe this may provide us with several profit opportunities, although there can be no assurance of such profit opportunities.
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.
Infrastructure Segment
The Company’s infrastructure business has been operating since 2008, it includes: (i) Execution of Construction Contracts and (ii) Rental of Heavy Construction Equipment.
Company Highlights
●

●
On June 30, 2023, the Company secured a $12 million revolving line of credit from the Hong Kong Branch of O-Bank Co. Ltd. (“O-Bank” or the “Bank”). This funding will support the working capital needs of the Company, primarily related to Alzheimer’s research.
●
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), and under the terms of the SPA, the Company issued 10 million shares of unregistered common stock at a price of $0.3 per share.
●
On June 6, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Allowance from the Commissioner of Patents, Canada, for its patent filing on the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of seizures (IGC-501). The formulation also received an intent to grant from the European Patent Office, protecting the formulation in the U.S., Canada, and certain European countries.

Business Strategy
The Life Sciences business strategy includes:
1.
Subject to FDA approval, developing IGC-AD1 as a drug for treating agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s and investigating and developing TGR-63 for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
2.
Marketing Holief TM , and formulations.
We believe developing a drug for both symptom and disease-modifying agent has less risk due to the need for expensive multi-year trials. However, there is considerable upside and significant value creation to the extent we obtain a first-in-class advantage, of which there can be no assurance. If we were to obtain a first-in-class advantage, such an advantage could result in significant growth if and when an approved drug such as IGC-AD1 launches.
We believe that additional investment in clinical trials, artificial intelligence (“AI"), research, and development (R&D), facilities, marketing, advertising, and acquisition of complementary products and businesses will be critical to the ongoing growth of the Life Sciences segment. Although there can be no assurance, we believe these investments will fuel the development and delivery of innovative products that drive positive patient and customer experiences. We hope to leverage our R&D and intellectual property to develop ground-breaking, science-based products that are proven effective through clinical trials, subject to FDA approval. Although there can be no assurance, we believe this strategy can improve our existing products and lead to the creation of new products that can provide treatment options for multiple conditions, symptoms, and side effects.

Revenue – During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company generated approximately $555 thousand in revenue, representing an increase of approximately $343 thousand, or 161%, compared to the approximately $212 thousand recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The primary source of revenue in both the years was from the Life Sciences segment, encompassing the sales of our formulations as white-labeled manufactured products and sales of branded holistic women’s health care products, among others. The Infrastructure segment revenue was approximately $167 thousand and $10 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in revenue derived from the Infrastructure segment relates to the completion of a construction contract. The Company remains committed to its current strategy of driving sales in formulations both as branded and white-labeled products.

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue amounted to approximately $300 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $70 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2022, this represents gross margins of 46% to 67%, respectively. The cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the cost of raw materials, labor, and other direct overheads required to produce our products in the Life Science segment. The decrease in gross margin is reflective of a change in the mix of revenue between Infrastructure and Life Science. Typically, the gross margin in the Life Sciences business, while higher than in the infrastructure, will fluctuate from one quarter to another based on the mix within the Life Science business between white label, private label, and branded products. It is early to model or project gross margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) –SG&A expenses primarily encompass various costs such as employee-related expenses, sales commissions, professional fees, legal fees, marketing expenses, other corporate expenses, allocated general overhead, provisions, depreciation, and write-offs related to doubtful accounts and advances. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, SG&A expenses increased by approximately $97 thousand or 6% to approximately $1.6 million, from approximately $1.5 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in SG&A expenses is attributed to operational expenses.
Research and Development expenses – R&D expenses were attributed to our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses decreased by approximately $647 thousand or 46% to $747 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to a one-time non-cash expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Other than one-time non-cash expenses, the R&D expenses for both quarters are approximately the same.
Other income, net – Other net income increased by approximately $47 thousand or 276% during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The total other income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, is approximately $64 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively. The increase in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, is attributable to profit from the sale of assets. The component of other income typically includes interest and rental income, dividend income, profits from the sale of assets, unrealized gains from non-debt investments, net income, and income from the sale of scraps. These sources contribute to the overall other income generated by the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, funds raised through the ATM offering, cash flows from operations, short-term and long-term borrowings, and short-term liquidity arrangements. The Company continues to evaluate various financing sources and options to raise working capital to help fund current research and development programs and operations. The Company does not have any material long-term debt, capital lease obligations or other long-term liabilities, except as disclosed in this report. Please refer to Note 12, “Commitments and contingencies”, and Note 11, “Loans and Other Liabilities,” in Item 1 of this report for further information on Company commitments and contractual obligations.
On June 30, 2023, the Company successfully entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with O-Bank, CO., LTD., pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $12 million and, in addition, sold 10 million shares for $3 million pursuant to an SPA with Bradbury Asset Management and three unrelated investors. The equity raise and the Credit Agreement serve to satisfy ongoing liquidity requirements and ensure the Company’s ability to sustain its operations. Furthermore, the Company intends to raise additional funds through private placement and ATM offerings, subject to market conditions, although there can be no assurance thereof.
The Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2024, with an option to renew. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, calculated according to the interest rate mentioned in the Certificate of Deposit (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as the case may be, plus an applicable margin of 1%, and the Company shall bear the tax. Interest is due and payable in full by the Company on the last business day of each interest period. As of June 30, 2023, the entire amount of $12 million remains unused.
The Company expects to raise further capital for its research and development initiatives as and when it is able to do so, but there can be no assurance thereof. In addition, there can be no assurance of the terms thereof, and any subsequent equity financing sought may have dilutive effects on our current shareholders. While there is no guarantee that we will be successful, we are applying to non-dilutive funding opportunities such as Small Business Research and Development programs. In addition, subject to limitations on the amount of capital that can be raised, the Company expects to utilize its shelf registration on a statement on Form S- 3 to raise capital through at-the-market offerings or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies
While all accounting policies impact financial statements, certain policies may be viewed as critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. Our management believes the policies that fall within this category are the policies on revenue recognition, inventory, accounts receivable, foreign currency translation, impairment of long-lived assets and investments, stock-based compensation, and cybersecurity.
Please see our disclosures in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Form 10-K, as well as Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2023 Form 10-K, for a discussion of all our critical and significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Newly issued ASUs not listed are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable, or the impact is expected to be immaterial. Recent accounting pronouncements which may be applicable to us are described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of our 2023 Form 10-K.
