India Globalization Capital Announces Fiscal Third Quarter Results
 
 
BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwire - February 23, 2011) - India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE Amex: IGC) announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.  IGC competes in the rapidly growing materials and infrastructure industry in India.
 
Total Revenue was $484K for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $5.9M for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The decline in revenue this quarter as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009 is due to two critical factors which either have been resolved, or we expect will be resolved soon.
 
First, we experienced delays in bringing our new state of the art crusher on line at our largest quarry due to weather delays.  That crusher was fully operational in January.
 
Second, we have been severely restricted in our ability to ship iron ore to our Chinese customers because of a temporary stoppage of iron ore exports, by the Government of Karnataka, in an effort to put processes in place to control the export of illegally mined iron ore.  The ports where we have our facilities have been closed for the export of iron ore since July 2010.  The Indian high court recently ordered that the processes to control illegal mining must be put in place by March 31, 2011.  Based on this, it is expected that the iron ore exports will be resumed in April 2011.  This temporary stoppage has impacted virtually all exporters of iron ore who ship higher grade ore from the west coast of India.
 
Selling, General and Administrative expenses were approximately $1.0M for this quarter compared to about $3.0M for the same quarter last year. Management focused on expense control given the restrictions to our business model.
 
Consolidated net loss for the quarter was approximately $1.76M compared to a consolidated net loss of $6.17M for the same period last year. The net loss in 2009 was primarily due to largely non-cash charges from the de-consolidation of our subsidiary, Sricon Infrastructure.
 
The loss per basic share for the quarter was ($0.12) per share, compared to ($.48) per share for the same quarter last year.
 
As of December 31, 2010 the Company had $ 3.37M of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash.  Book value per basic share was approximately $1.56 while tangible book value after subtracting goodwill was approximately $1.14 per basic share.  Net working capital was approximately $2.4M.
 
Mr. Mukunda, CEO, commented: "In the past year, we have created a strong platform in the materials business with two producing quarries and an iron ore export business.  While we are disappointed with our financial results for this quarter, we remain very optimistic in our business model.  We have already seen a rebound in the quarry business that will be reflected in our current quarter. Since early January, after weather related delays in bringing our new crusher fully on-line, our Quarry business is now dramatically increasing production and we expect that the quarrying business line will be profitable in this current quarter.  The two quarries combined, have estimated reserves of about 10 million to 11 million metric tons of rock aggregate, or about $40M of reserves, that we will quarry over the next several years.  We also expect that our ore export business will continue its growth when the temporary ban is lifted. Our basic markets remain strong and growing and we believe that we have now turned the corner in our execution to fully exploit the opportunities before us."
