POTOMAC, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, which is the third quarter of its 2021 fiscal year.
Revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $108 thousand and $573 thousand respectively. The decrease in revenue is from infrastructure and is primarily due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was approximately 15% from the infrastructure segment and approximately 85% from the Life Science segment. In comparison, the revenue in the December 2019 quarter was primarily from infrastructure.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our revenue and increased our expenses. In the past nine months, our ability to provide services and distribute our products has been impacted due to store closures and abandoned harvests of hemp. Our facilities on the West Coast of the U.S. and Delhi, India have had COVID-19 outbreaks that have led to closures, delays and expenses.
In the quarter ended December 31, 2020, our primary focus has been to initiate and carry out the Phase 1 clinical trial on our Investigational Drug Candidate IGC-AD1.
Selling, general and administrative 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 advances, if any. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $773 thousand or 55% to $2,186 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2020, from $1,413 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase of approximately $773 thousand is related to increased overheads, marketing and professional expenses, a one-time SEC settlement expense of $175 thousand previously disclosed on Form 8-K on December 22, 2020, one-time $245 thousand inventory related adjustments, and $124 thousand in increased depreciation expense, among others.
Net comprehensive loss was approximately $2,283 thousand or $0.06 per share, for the December 2020 quarter, compared to approximately $1,646 thousand or $0.04 per share for the September 2019 quarter. Most of the increased loss is attributable to the increased SG&A.
