India Globalization Capital Reports Fiscal First Quarter Results

BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwire - August 13, 2010) - India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE Amex: IGC), a company competing in the rapidly growing materials and infrastructure industry in India, announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Total revenue was $1.12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $2.72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The revenue reported this quarter does not include revenue from one of our subsidiaries (Sricon), which was deconsolidated, where as it was included in the 2009 period. Eliminating the Sricon revenue in order to make these comparable, the Company remained flat on the top line for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2009.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.98 million compared to $1.79 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, the cost of revenue increased, primarily because the Company has additional costs incurred as a result of setting up rock aggregate quarries and the iron ore business. When our quarries become fully operational our cost basis will be much improved.

Consolidated GAAP net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was ($0.59) million compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of ($0.54) million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This quarter the charges related to debt amortization and non-cash interest was about $0.39 million.

As on June 30, 2010 the company had $2.48 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and approximately $3.44 million in working capital.

Ram Mukunda, CEO of India Globalization Capital, said, "As expected, our fiscal first quarter results remained relatively flat when taking in to account the deconsolidation of Sricon. In September, as soon as the monsoon season comes to an end, we expect to begin order fulfillment of the nearly $200 million in iron ore and rock aggregate orders we have received. To date, we have coordinated with suppliers and have solidified the logistics for delivery." Mr. Mukunda concluded, "I am also pleased to announce we have created a new process to improve our ore business, whereby we purchase ore lumps and crush them into ore fines. This new process will improve our margins in the ore business going forward. Finally, we continue to work with our bankers to increase our letter of credit facilities and have been successful in expanding our rock aggregate quarries."
