NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars) (unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
The Company and its Operations
Bionik Laboratories Corp. (the “Company” or “Bionik”) was incorporated on January 8, 2010 in the State of Colorado as Strategic Dental Management Corp. On July 16, 2013, the Company changed its name to Drywave Technologies Inc. (“Drywave”) and its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware. Effective February 13, 2015, the Company changed its name to Bionik Laboratories Corp. and reduced the authorized number of shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to 150,000,000. Concurrently, the Company implemented a 1-for-0.831105 reverse stock split of the common stock, which had previously been approved on September 24, 2014. On October 29, 2018, the Company implemented at 1 for 150 reverse stock-split of the common and exchangeable shares.
On February 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and related transactions whereby it acquired Bionik Laboratories Inc., a Canadian Corporation (“Bionik Canada”) and Bionik Canada issued 333,334 Exchangeable Shares, representing a 3.14 exchange ratio, for 100% of the then outstanding common shares of Bionik Canada (the “Merger”). The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable at the option of the holder, each into one share of the common stock of the Company. In addition, the Company issued one Special Preferred Voting Share (the “Special Preferred Share”) (Note 10).
On April 21, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares and, accordingly, all assets and liabilities of Interactive Motion Technologies, Inc. (IMT), a Boston, Massachusetts-based global pioneer and leader in providing effective robotic products for neurorehabilitation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated March 1, 2016, with IMT, Hermano Igo Krebs, and Bionik Mergerco Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (Bionik Mergerco). The merger agreement provided for the merger of Bionik Mergerco with and into IMT, with IMT surviving the merger as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. In return for acquiring IMT, IMT shareholders received an aggregate of 157,667 shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 4).
On November 6, 2017, the Company approved the authorization of a common share capital share increase to 250,000,000 from 150,000,000 and on June 12, 2018, the Company approved the authorization of a common share increase to 500,000,000 from 250,000,000.
References to the Company refer to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bionik Inc., Bionik Acquisition Inc. and Bionik Canada.
The Company is a global pioneering robotics company focused on providing rehabilitation solutions to individuals with neurological disorders, specializing in designing, developing and commercializing cost-effective physical rehabilitation technologies, prosthetics, and assisted robotic products. The Company strives to innovate and build devices that can rehabilitate and improve an individual’s health, comfort, accessibility and quality of life through the use of advanced algorithms and sensing technologies that anticipate a user’s every move.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company’s principal offices are located at 483 Bay Street, N105, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 2C9 and its U.S. address is 80 Coolidge Hill Road, Watertown, MA 02472.
Going Concern
As at September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital of $5,144,499 (March 31, 2019 - $479,408) and an accumulated deficit of $(51,860,701) (March 31, 2019 - $(46,357,373)) and the Company incurred comprehensive loss of $(5,503,328) for the six month period ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 - $(4,743,803)).
There is no certainty that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or achieving and maintaining profitable operations in the future to enable it to meet its obligations as they come due and consequently continue as a going concern.
The Company will require additional financing to fund its operations and it is currently working on securing this funding through corporate collaborations, public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Sales of additional equity securities by the Company would result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, the Company would reduce its discretionary overhead costs substantially or otherwise curtail operations. The Company expects to raise additional funds to meet the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months; however, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars) (unaudited)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
During the 2019 fiscal year, holders of the common stock and exchangeable shares of the Company approved, through a majority shareholder vote, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of Bionik’s common stock and exchangeable shares at a ratio up to one-to-one hundred and fifty.
On October 29, 2018, the Company effected a reverse stock split and thereafter Bionik’s common stock began trading on the OTCQB market on a one-for-one hundred and fifty (1:150) split-adjusted basis. All owners of record on October 29, 2018 received one issued and outstanding share of Bionik common stock or exchangeable share in exchange for one hundred and fifty issued and outstanding shares of Bionik common stock or Bionik exchangeable stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. All fractional shares created by the one-for-one hundred and fifty reverse split were rounded up to the next whole share. The reverse stock split had no impact on the par value per share of Bionik common stock, which remains at $0.001. All current and prior period amounts related to shares, share prices and earnings per share, presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q have been restated to give retrospective presentation for the reverse stock split.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements of the Company and should be read in conjunction with those annual audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019. The interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
The changes in accounting policies in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the March 31, 2019 audited financial statements are described below.
Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new standard introduces a five-step process to be followed in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition. It also provides guidance on accounting for costs incurred to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers and establishes disclosure requirements which are more extensive than those required under existing U.S. GAAP. The FASB has issued numerous amendments to ASU 2014-09 from August 2015 through January 2018, which provide supplemental and clarifying guidance, as well as amend the effective date of the new standard. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for the Company in the interim period ended September 30, 2019. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has adopted ASU-2014-1 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as noncurrent based on an analysis of each taxpaying component within a jurisdiction. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted ASU-2015-17 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or the consolidated results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updates make several modifications to Subtopic 825-10, including the elimination of the available-for-sale classification of equity investments, and it requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in operations. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 2017. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-01 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance will also require additional disclosure about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This ASU provides eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-15 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09). The FASB issued the update to provide clarity and reduce the cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
Recently Issued
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the definition of a Business” which amends the current definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. ASU 2017-01 further states that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquitted is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business.
The new guidance also narrows the definition of the term “outputs” to be consistent with how it is described in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The changes to the definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions. ASU 2017-01 is effective for acquisitions commencing on or after September 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date and the Company does not expect this policy will have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the carrying value of the goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which introduces an expected credit loss methodology for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. The methodology replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The update if effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.
Warranty Reserve and Deferred Warranty Revenue
The Company provides a one-year warranty as part of its normal sales offering. When products are sold, the Company provides warranty reserves, which, based on the historical experience of the Company are sufficient to cover warranty claims. Accrued warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets and amounted to $165,207 at September 30, 2019 (March 31, 2019 - $143,500). The Company also sells extended warranties for additional periods beyond the standard warranty. Extended warranty revenue is deferred and recognized as revenue over the extended warranty period. The Company recognized $26,912 of expenses related to warranty expenses and recorded this expense in cost of goods sold for the six-month period ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 - $10,108).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements”. All statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward- looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places, including, but not limited to in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements represent our reasonable judgment of the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “may,” “will”, “should,” “plan,” “project” and other words of similar meaning. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following:
· | projected operating or financial results, including anticipated cash flows used in operations; |
· | expectations regarding capital expenditures; and |
· | our beliefs and assumptions relating to our liquidity position, including our ability to obtain additional financing. |
Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, among others:
· | the loss of key management personnel on whom we depend; |
· | our ability to operate our business efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and obtain financing when required; and |
· | our expectations with respect to our acquisition activity. |
In addition, there may be other factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements, some of which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All forward- looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
17 |
In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the nature of our existing and proposed business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will in fact occur. Potential investors should not place undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

Company Overview
Bionik Laboratories Corp. is a healthcare company focused on improving the quality of life of millions of people with neurological or mobility impairments by combining artificial intelligence and innovative robotics technology to help individuals from hospital to home to regain mobility, enhance autonomy, and regain self-esteem.
The Company uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to make rehabilitation methods and processes smarter and more intuitive to deliver greater recovery for patients with neurological or mobility impairments. These technologies allow large amounts of data to be collected and processed in real-time, enabling appropriately challenging and individualized therapy during every treatment session. This is the foundation of the InMotion™ therapy. The Company’s rehabilitation therapy robots are built on an artificial intelligence platform, measuring the position, the speed and the acceleration of the patient 200 times per second. The artificial intelligence platform is designed to adapt in real time to the patient’s needs and progress while providing quantifiable feedback of a patient’s progress and performance, in a way that the Company believes a trained clinician cannot.
Based on this foundational work, the Company has a portfolio of products focused on upper and lower extremity rehabilitation for stroke and other mobility-impaired individuals, including three InMotion™ robots currently in the market and two products in varying stages of development.
The InMotion™ therapy uses the Company’s robots to assist patients to rewire a segment of their brains after injury, also known as neuroplasticity. The InMotion™ Robots - the InMotion™ ARM, InMotion™ WRIST and the InMotion™ ARM/HAND – are designed to provide intelligent, adaptive therapy in a manner that has been clinically shown to maximize neurorecovery. The Company is also developing a home version of the InMotion™ upper-body rehabilitation technology, as well as a lower-body wearable assistive product based on the Company’s existing ARKE lower body exoskeleton technology, which could allow certain mobility impaired individuals to walk better. The Company intends to launch this mobility assistance solution into the consumer market when the Company has sufficient funds to develop this product.
The InMotion™ ARM InMotion™ ARM/HAND, and InMotion™ WRIST are robotic therapies for the upper limbs. InMotion™ robotic therapies have been characterized as Class II medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and are listed with the FDA to market and sell in the United States. More than 280 of our clinical robotic products for stroke rehabilitation have been sold in over 15 countries, including the United States. In addition to these fully developed, clinical rehabilitation solutions, we are also developing “InMotion™ Home”, which is an upper extremity product that allows the patient to extend their therapy for as long as needed while rehabilitating at home. This rehabilitation solution is being developed on the same design platform as the InMotion™ clinical products.
We believe recent payment changes in the US marketplace proposed and finalized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services create a favorable environment for greater clinical adoption of our robotic technology. For instance, the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014, or the Impact Act of 2014, began the shift toward standardizing patient assessment data for quality measures. The updated Prospective Payment System (PPS), SNF QRP (Quality Reporting Program) and SNF VBP (Value Based Purchasing) programs have further shifted reimbursement toward the needs of the patient and away from volume of services provided in the skilled nursing setting. Other programs have caused a similar shift in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility setting, as well. We expect that in the next 3-9 months, further incentives toward quality based care will be implemented, resulting in providers being publicly ranked, as well as financially rewarded, for quality reporting and better outcomes.
We have a growing body of clinical data for our products. More than 1,500 patients participated in trials using our InMotion™ robots, the results of which have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals (including the New England Journal of Medicine and Stroke).
18 |
An earlier model of InMotion™ robots were used in a multicenter randomized controlled phase III interventional trial, funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment Program (RATULS) in the United Kingdom. The study was completed in 2018, included the enrollment of 770 stroke patients in a multi-center randomized controlled research trial to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of robot-assisted training in post-stoke care. The Company is pleased that the RATULS trial confirmed the finding of previous research studies which demonstrated that robot assisted therapy improved upper limb impairment when compared with conventional care of stroke victims. The primary outcome for upper limb success was determined by an Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), with four distinct success criteria that varied according to baseline severity. This test with these success criteria was developed by the RATULS trial team for this study and has not been used previously in clinical trials. The findings of this major research trial demonstrated that robot assisted therapy improved upper limb impairment, however, using this ARAT measurement, the trial was unable to conclude that robot assisted therapy or enhance upper limb therapy resulted in improved upper limb functionality after stroke compared with usual care provided to patients with stroke related upper limb functional limitation. The study findings also showed that the attrition rate was drastically reduced in the patient population following either robotic therapy or enhanced upper limb therapy versus usual care only. Most of the withdrawals from the study were before 3 months of usual care due to the disappointment with the treatment allocation.
In addition to our proprietary in-house products, we had the exclusive right to market and sell the Morning Walk lower body rehabilitation technology owned by Curexo Inc., a South Korean company, within the United States. We have decided not to distribute the Morning Walk product due to market conditions in the U.S. and are renegotiating the contract with our distributor in Korea. We may in the future further augment our product portfolio through technology acquisition opportunities should they come available and if we are sufficiently capitalized to undertake these investments.
On December 14, 2018, we entered into a Sale of Goods Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CHC Management Services, LLC, or Kindred, pursuant to which, among other things, Kindred agreed to purchase from us in a first phase a minimum of 21 of the Company’s InMotion™ ARM Interactive Therapy Systems – a minimum of one for each of Kindred’s existing and soon-to-open affiliated inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and similar facilities described in the Agreement, and in a second phase a minimum of one InMotion™ ARM Interactive Therapy System for each future facilities of Kindred, during the four-year minimum term of the Agreement. Kindred entered into an initial purchase order for nine InMotion™ ARM Interactive Therapy System that shipped before December 31, 2018, with further robots in the year ended March 31, 2019 and six months ended September 30, 2019, for a total of 21 InMotion™ robots sold prior to the period ended September 30, 2019.
On January 23, 2019, we announced the commercial launch of our newest generation InMotion™ ARM/HAND robotic system for clinical rehabilitation of stroke survivors and those with mobility impairments due to neurological conditions. The improved new generation InMotion™ ARM/HAND was developed according to the same principals of motor learning and neuro plasticity that were incorporated into the original InMotion™ ARM robotic system and utilizes artificial intelligence and data analysis to provide individualized therapy and reports that empower patients.
It includes the following new features:
· | Enhanced hand-rehabilitation technology: The updated hand robot provides therapy focused on hand opening and grasping for patients ready to retrain reach and grasp functional tasks. | |
· | InMotion™ EVAL: The InMotion™ ARM/HAND offers the ability to assess hand movements in a precise and objective manner, allowing the clinician to better measure and quantify a patient’s progress and response to therapy. | |
· | Improved, comprehensive reporting: Optimized report formats provide improved documentation of patient outcomes, improved ease of use and enhanced interpretation of evaluation results, allowing clearer indications of progress over their complete rehabilitation journey, all on one screen. |
We are collaborating with Intelliware Development, a leading custom software solutions company based in Toronto to customize and deploy a new software platform, InMotion ConnectTM. InMotion ConnectTM is designed to target the critical need to link patient centric rehabilitation results to patient management portals and electronic medical records (EMR) at any hospital or rehabilitation facility. We believe that leveraging Intelliware’s healthcare software development expertise will ensure the HL7 compliant InMotion ConnectTM will seamlessly feed data through existing various hospital protocols, providing practitioners protected patient data and treatment results. Customized reporting capabilities in the platform focus on facility and organization measurement dashboards to support effective decision making for clinicians and for hospital management.

We have worked with industry leaders in manufacturing and design and have also expanded our development team through partnerships with researchers and academia. On May 17, 2017, we entered into a Co-operative Joint Venture Contract with Ginger Capital Investment Holding Ltd., pursuant to which the Company has a 25% interest and Ginger Capital has a 75% interest. As of the date of this 10-Q, Ginger Capital is obligated to contribute $725,000 to the joint venture and is required to contribute an additional $725,000 by May 22, 2023. To date, the Chinese partners of the JV have contributed $1,100,000 to the JV. Three InMotion™ robots have been delivered from us to the joint venture, which were used for product demonstration and for quality assessment by Chinese authorities. During the period ended September 30, 2019, due to regulatory restrictions only 3 new robots were shipped by Bionik to the Chinese JV according to contract terms.
On June 20, 2017, we entered into a joint development and manufacturing agreement with Wistron Medical Tech Holding Company of Taiwan to jointly develop a lower body assistive robotic product based on the ARKE technology for the consumer home market. As the lower body assistive robotic device is on an engineering hold due to prioritizing the development of the InMotion™ Home robotic device, no work has been done with Wistron recently.
We have also entered into an agreement with Cogmedix Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Coghlin Companies, a medical device development and manufacturing company located in West Boylston, MA, for the production of InMotion™ robots. The initial agreement is for turnkey, compliant manufacturing with the capability of scaling faster production to meet increased volume as the Company grows. In addition, our Massachusetts-based manufacturing facility is compliant with ISO- 13485 and FDA regulations.
We currently hold an intellectual property portfolio that includes 4 U.S. patents and 2 U.S. pending patent, 5 of which are pending internationally, as well as other patents under development. We may file provisional patents from time to time, which may expire if we do not pursue full patents within 12 months of the filing date. One new provisional patent has recently been filed, pertaining to BIONIK’s InMotion™ Home development, which the Company plans to file as a full patent prior to the 12-month deadline. The provisional patents may not be filed as full patents and new provisional patents may be filed as the technology evolves or changes. Additionally, we hold exclusive licenses to three additional patents of which one is currently being used for the InMotion™ Wrist and is licensed to us from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
We have filed trademarks in the U.S. and European Union for InMotion™, InMotion Connect™, InMotion Pulse™, and InMotion Insights™; the trademark for InMotion™ is registered in the European Union and pending in the U.S., while InMotion Connect™, InMotion Pulse™, and InMotion Insights™ are pending in both jurisdictions. These trademarks are to be used for the robots and software that Bionik develops and sells related to this product line.
We currently sell our products directly or can introduce customers to a third-party finance company to lease at a monthly fee over the term or other fee structure for our products to hospitals, clinics, distribution companies and/or buying groups that supply those rehabilitation facilities.
We introduced our new enhanced commercial version of the InMotion™ product line starting with the InMotion™ Arm in December 2017 and then the InMotion™ Arm/Hand in January 2019. We sold 11 InMotion™ robots in the year ended March 31, 2018, 33 InMotion™ robots in the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2 and 8 robots in the first three and six months respectively ended September 30, 2019.
We had $281,691 and $1,072,070 of revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – $547,085 and $1,048,418).

History; Recent Developments
Bionik Laboratories Corp. was incorporated on January 8, 2010 in the State of Colorado. At the time of our incorporation the name of our company was Strategic Dental Management Corp. On July 16, 2013, we changed our name from Strategic Dental Management Corp. to Drywave Technologies, Inc. and changed our state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware. Effective February 13, 2015, we changed our name to Bionik Laboratories Corp.
Bionik Laboratories Inc., which we refer to in this Form 10-Q as Bionik Canada, was incorporated on March 24, 2011 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
On February 26, 2015, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Bionik Acquisition Inc., a company existing under the laws of Canada and our wholly owned subsidiary, and Bionik Canada whereby we acquired 100 Class 1 common shares of Bionik Canada representing 100% of the outstanding Class 1 common shares of Bionik Canada. After giving effect to this and related transactions, we commenced operations through Bionik Canada. Subsequently, on April 21, 2016, we acquired Interactive Motion Technologies, Inc., or IMT, a Boston, Massachusetts-based provider of effective robotic products for neurorehabilitation, including all of its owned and licensed products both commercialized and in development.
We effected a one-for-one hundred fifty reverse stock split on October 29, 2018. As a result of the reverse stock split, each one hundred fifty shares of our common stock automatically combined into and became one share of our common stock. Accordingly, as of October 29, 2018, there were 2,337,964 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Any fractional shares which would otherwise be due as a result of the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split automatically and proportionately adjusted, based on the one-for-one hundred fifty reverse stock split ratio, all issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and exchangeable shares, as well as common stock underlying stock options, warrants and other derivative securities outstanding at the time of the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. The exercise price on outstanding equity based-grants was proportionately increased, while the number of shares available under our equity-based plans was also proportionately reduced. Share and per share data (except par value) for the periods presented reflect the effects of this reverse stock split. References to numbers of shares of common stock and per share data in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto relating to dates prior to the reverse stock split have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split on a retroactive basis.
From June through September 2019, we issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,000,000 to investors, which included an aggregate of $500,000 from an affiliate of Remi Gaston-Dreyfus, a director and major shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of such notes, as of September 30, 2019, the principal amount and accrued interest of the notes converted in accordance under their terms into an aggregate of 1,268,191 shares of the Company’s common stock.
In September 2019, we commenced an up to $3 million convertible note offering (or up to $7,000,000 in the discretion of the Company), of which $70,000 has been raised through November12, 2019.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
Results of Operations
From the inception of Bionik Canada on March 24, 2011 through September 30, 2019 and we have generated a deficit of $51,860,701.
We expect to incur additional operating losses through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 and beyond, principally as a result of our continuing research and development, building the sales and marketing team, long sales cycles and general and administrative costs predominantly associated with being a public company
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2018
Sales were $281,691 and $ 1,072,070 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – $547,085 and $1,048,418). The revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 are comprised of sales of 2 and 8 (September 30, 2018 – 7 and 12) InMotion™ robots, service and warranty income Sales decreased from the prior three and six month corresponding period of 2018 due to the Company’s long sales cycle.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of sales was $83,207 and $419,292 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – $384,073 and $637,236). Gross margin increased to 70.5% and 60.9% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – 29.8% and 39.2%) due to economies of scale deriving from higher volume manufacturing.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 were $3,405,365 and $6,028,354, compared to $2,563,120 and $5,446,061 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, as further described below.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $584,775 and $1,168,507 in sales and marketing expenses, compared to $427,235 and $969,984 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in these expenses is mainly due to the expansion of the commercial team in fiscal 2020.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $886,060 and $1,702,583 (September 30, 2018 – $679,049 and $1,355,792). The increase in research and development expenses relates primarily to the additional hires to strengthen the development team to support our new development projects as well as material costs related to the projects being worked on.
The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,199,938 and $2,041,631 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $931,477 and $1,910,956 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2020 over fiscal 2019 resulted from higher consulting, audit, legal and other public and IR related costs.
Stock compensation expense was $638,219 and $925,976 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $439,328 and $1,034,740 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, due to increased option grants in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Amortization of technology and other assets allocated from the purchase of IMT was $69,314 and $138,638 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – $69,315 and $140,368). The amortization has decreased as certain assets acquired have been fully amortized. Assets acquired were workforce and non-compete agreements which are now fully amortized. Customer relationships are amortized over 10 years, patents and exclusive license agreements over their lifetime and trademarks are indefinite and therefore are not amortized.
Depreciation amounted to $27,059 and $51,029 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – $16,626 and $34,221).
Other Expenses
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $Nil as accretion expense compared to $1,970,167 and $2,104,418 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 due to the amortization of the fair value as well as the anti-dilution feature recorded in connection with convertible debt financing. Also connected to this transaction were fair value adjustments for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 were $Nil (September 30, 2018 – $(382,010) and $(337,923).
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, we had a gain of $Nil on the mark to market reevaluation of the shares to be issued. As of September 30, 2018, $2,048,697 was recorded as mark to market reevaluation for the six months ended September 30, 2018 due of shares to be issued due to not having enough authorized shares to issue the shares of common stock upon conversion of our convertible promissory notes on March 31, 2018.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred other expense of $170,739 and $185,035 (September 30, 2018 – $22,712 and $60,132). The increase in other expenses relates to higher interest expense in connection with indebtedness in the period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the period ended September 30, 2018.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred a foreign exchange gain (loss) of $5,064 and $(57,283) (September 30, 2018 – ($27,872) and ($69,006)). On April 1, 2015, our subsidiaries changed their functional currency from the Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar. This reflects the fact that the majority of the Company’s business is influenced by an economic environment denominated in U.S. currency as well as that the Company anticipates revenues to be earned in U.S. dollars.

Comprehensive (Loss)
Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 was $(3,382,684) and $(5,503,328) resulting in loss per share of $(0.87) and $(1.42), and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, after retroactive adoption of ASU 2017-11 noted above, comprehensive loss was $(3,983,105) and $(4,743,803), resulting in loss per share of ($1.62) and ($2.02).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded operations through the issuance of capital stock, loans, grants and investment tax credits received from the Government of Canada. The Company raised in its 2015 private offering net proceeds of $11,341,397. Since 2015, the Company also obtained funds through additional government tax credits, incurring new convertible indebtedness totaling $18,469,681 that has since been converted into equity, a short-term loan of $400,000, that was repaid and raising $1,125,038 in June 2017 from its warrant solicitation. At September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,674,868. Between June 2019 and September 2019, the Company raised funds through the sale of convertible promissory notes totaling $9 million in principal, which principal and accrued interest converted into 1,268,191 of the Company’s common shares at an average price of $7.21.
Based on our current burn rate, we expect to need to raise additional capital in the short term to fund operations and meet expected future liquidity requirements, as well as to satisfy our planned liabilities, or we will be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines or our operations. We are continuously in discussions to raise additional capital, which may include or be a combination of convertible loans and equity which, if successful, will enable us to continue operations based on our current burn rate, for at least the next 12 months; however, we cannot give any assurance at this time that we will successfully raise all or some of such capital or any other capital. We do not have an established source of funds sufficient to cover operating costs after January 15, 2020 at this time and accordingly there can be no assurance that our recently launched $3,000,000 (or up to $7,000,000 in the discretion of the Company) convertible note financing round will be successful or other necessary debt or equity financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to us, in which case we may not be able to meet our obligations or fully implement our business plan, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Additionally, we will need additional funds to respond to business opportunities including potential acquisitions of complementary technologies, protect our intellectual property, develop new lines of business and enhance our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for any such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We will also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines or our operations.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2019, we used cash in operating activities of ($4,750,770). The similar use of cash in the six months ended September 30, 2019, was a use of $(4,811,572) for the six months ended September 30, 2018.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $(91,141), compared to $(13,640) for the six months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was used for the acquisition of equipment related to the Company’s purchase of additional computer equipment, equipment to help with the development of our technology and demo units to assist in the sales process.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $9,070,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $4,623,658 for the six months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the six months ended September 30, 2019 is due to more capital raised in the fiscal 2020 period than the fiscal 2019 period.
Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new standard introduces a five-step process to be followed in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition. It also provides guidance on accounting for costs incurred to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers and establishes disclosure requirements which are more extensive than those required under existing U.S. GAAP. The FASB has issued numerous amendments to ASU 2014- 09 from August 2015 through January 2018, which provide supplemental and clarifying guidance, as well as amend the effective date of the new standard. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for the Company in the interim period ended June 30, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has adopted ASU-2014-1 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as noncurrent based on an analysis of each taxpaying component within a jurisdiction. ASU No. 2015-17 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted ASU-2015-17 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or the consolidated results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updates make several modifications to Subtopic 825-10, including the elimination of the available-for-sale classification of equity investments, and it requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in operations. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 2017. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-01 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance will also require additional disclosure about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of this update are effective for quarterly and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This ASU provides eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-15 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09). The FASB issued the update to provide clarity and reduce the cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 during the year ended March 31, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated results of operations.
24 |
Recently Issued
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the definition of a Business” which amends the current definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. ASU 2017-01 further states that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquitted is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business.
The new guidance also narrows the definition of the term “outputs” to be consistent with how it is described in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The changes to the definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions. ASU 2017- 01 is effective for acquisitions commencing on or after September 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date and the Company does not expect this policy will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the carrying value of the goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which introduces an expected credit loss methodology for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. The methodology replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The update if effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of operations.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
