NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (unaudited)
(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)
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 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”). Bionik Canada issued 50,000,000 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).
As a result of the shareholders of Bionik Canada having a controlling interest in the Company subsequent to the Merger, for accounting purposes the Merger does not constitute a business combination. The transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with Bionik Canada being the accounting acquirer even though the legal acquirer is Bionik, accordingly, the historic financial statements of Bionik Canada are presented as the comparative balances for the period prior to the Merger.
References to the Company refer to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bionik Acquisition Inc. and Bionik Canada. References to Drywave relate to the Company prior to the Merger.
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 Mergeco”). 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 23,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Bionik Laboratories Corp. is a robotics company focused on providing rehabilitation and mobility solutions to individuals with neurological and mobility challenges from hospital to home. The Company has a portfolio of products focused on upper and lower extremity rehabilitation for stroke and other mobility impaired individuals, including three products in the market and four products in varying stages of development. The InMotion Systems - the InMotion ARM, In Motion Wrist, InMotion Hand – are designed to provide intelligent, adaptive therapy in a manner that has been clinically verified to maximize neuro-recovery. Bionik also has a lower-body exoskeleton - the ARKE - designed to allow paraplegics as well as other wheelchair users the ability to rehabilitate through walking. The Company is developing with a partner a lower body product based on some of the ARKE technology, which should allow certain individuals to walk better, who have limited mobility. This product is expected to be launched in the consumer home market.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements consolidate the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Bionik Canada, Bionik Acquisition Inc. and Bionik, Inc. (the former IMT) since its acquisition on April 21, 2016.
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 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. USA 02472.
Going Concern
As at December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,535,488 (March 31, 2017 - $3,415,670) and an accumulated deficit of $29,554,125 (March 31, 2017 - $21,076,464) and the Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of ($8,436,636) for the nine months period ended December 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 – $(4,915,032)).
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 this year to fund its operations and it is currently working on securing this funding through the issuance of convertible promissory notes, corporate collaborations, public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Sales of additional equity or equity linked 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 substantial or otherwise curtail operations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (unaudited)
(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (continued) |
The Company expects the forgoing, or a combination thereof, 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 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.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
2. | CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY |
The FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Down Round Features II Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests With a Scope Exception , allows a financial instrument with a down-round feature to no longer automatically be classified as a liability solely based on the existence of the down-round provision. The update also means the instrument would not have to be accounted for as a derivative and be subject to an updated fair value measurement each reporting period.
On consideration of the above factors, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-11 on July 1, 2017, the ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other organizations, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.
The early adoption allows the Company to reduce the cost and complexity of updating the fair value measurement each reporting period and eliminate the unnecessary volatility in reported earnings created by the revaluation when the Company’s shares’ value changes.
The Company presented the change in accounting policy through the retrospective application of the new accounting principle to all prior periods, as described in ASU No. 250-10-45-5, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
The following financial statement line items for the periods indicated were affected by the change in accounting principle.

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, 2017. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect 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.
Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. For a public entity, early adoption is not permitted. The impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires 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 does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 will have a material effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial position 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 makes 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 is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have on the condensed consolidated interim financial position 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 is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the condensed consolidated interim financial position and the consolidated results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transaction are simplified, including (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has adopted this policy during the period and there was no impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
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 is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows.
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 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 June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date.
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.
In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02. The Company is not early adopting this standard; however, we are currently assessing the impact that the eventual adoption of this standard will have on the Company.

3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of an agreement with customer exists, products are shipped or title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and there are no significant future performance obligation. Deposits are carried as liabilities until the requirements for revenue recognition are met.
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 balance sheet and amounted to $64,957 at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017. The Company also sells extended warranties of or additional periods beyond the standard warranty. Extended warranty revenue is deferred and recognized as revenue over the extended warranty period. The Company recognized $Nil of expense related to the change in warranty reserves and warranty costs incurred and recorded as an expense in cost of goods sold during the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $15,355 and $30,732, respectively).
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the end of each reporting period into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due from related parties, demand notes payable, promissory notes payable, convertible notes payable, and short-term loans approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of Level 3 as of the date of the event or change in the circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no such transfers during the period.

4. | ACQUISITION |
On April 21, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the common and preferred shares of IMT, through a transaction where Bionik Mergerco merged with and into IMT, with IMT surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bionik. Bionik issued an aggregate of 23,650,000 shares of Company Common Stock in exchange for all shares of IMT Common Stock and IMT Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to April 21, 2016. All shares have been issued at March 31, 2017.
Bionik also assumed each of the 3,895,000 options to acquire IMT Common Stock granted under IMT’s equity incentive plan or otherwise issued by IMT. These options were exchanged for purchase of an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.25. 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.95 and 1,000,000 have an exercise price of $1.05. Stock compensation expense on vested options of $2,582,890 was recorded on the options exchanged and this amount is included in the acquisition equation.
As a result of the acquisition of IMT, the Company acquired assets including three licensed patents, two license agreements, three FDA listed products, an FDA inspected manufacturing facility, extensive clinical and sales data, and international distributors. The Company retained an independent valuator to determine the purchase price allocation, which reflects the allocation of assets and goodwill. The following sets forth the purchase price allocation based on management’s best estimates of fair value, including a summary of major classes of consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

(b) Promissory Notes payable
In February 2014, the Company borrowed $200,000 from an existing investor under the terms of a secured promissory note (“Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note bore interest at a simple interest rate equal to 10% per annum and interest is payable quarterly. Interest expenses incurred on the Promissory Note totaled $3,059 and $12,957 for the three and none months ended December 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $5,041 and $13,973).

(c) Short term Loan
In December 2017, a company controlled by a Board member made a short-term loan to the Company of $400,000 with interest at 1.5% per month. Interest expenses incurred on the loan totaled $2,400 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $Nil and $Nil). The Company repaid this loan with interest of $3,200 in January 2018.
(d) Convertible Loans Payable
In December 2016, several shareholders of the Company agreed to advance the Company $1,500,000 of convertible notes in three tranches: $500,000 upon origination of the convertible loans and $500,000 on each of January 15, 2017 and February 15, 2017. A further $500,000 was advanced in March 2017 to bring the total of these convertible loans to approximately $2,000,000. The convertible loans bore interest at 6% until the original due date of March 31, 2017 and $17,488 was accrued and expensed as interest on these loans for the year ended March 31, 2017.
The convertible loans contain the following terms: convertible at the option of the holder at the price of the equity financing or payable on demand upon the completion of an equity financing greater than $5,000,000; automatically convertible at the price of the equity financing upon completion of an equity financing between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000; if no such equity financing is completed by November 15, 2017, then the loans shall become secured by a general security agreement over all assets of the Company; and, upon a change in control would either be payable on demand or convertible at the lesser of a price per share equal to that received by the parties in the change in control transaction or the market price of the shares. These conversion features were analyzed and determined to be contingent conversion features, accordingly, until the triggering event no beneficial conversion feature is recognized.
On August 14, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to these convertible loans, whereby the interest was changed to a fixed rate of 12% per year from April 1, 2017 to August 14, 2017, and 3% per month from August 14, 2017 to maturity, which was extended to the earlier of March 31, 2018 or consummation of a qualified financing. The conversion feature was modified to contain the following terms: upon the consummation of an equity or equity-linked round of with an aggregate gross proceeds of $7,000,000, without any action on part of the Holder, the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and premium amount equal to (25%) of the principal amount less the accrued and unpaid interest, will be converted into shares of new round stock based upon the lesser of (a) the lowest issuance (or conversion) price of new round stock in case there is more than one tranche of new round stock or (b) ($0.25).
Further, the Company issued warrants to these debt holders amounting to 20% of the aggregate principal of the convertible loans divided by the exercise price, which would be determined as the lowest of a new round stock in a qualified financing, the average volume weighted average price for the sixty trading days prior to January 31, 2018 or $0.25. The warrants have a term of five years.

8. | NOTES PAYABLE (Continued) |
An additional $2,999,975 was received from these shareholders during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 for a total of $4,999,975. For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2017, an additional $381,429 and $587,699 of interest was accrued and expensed on these convertible loans.
The Company has recognized a discount against the convertible loans for the relative fair value of the warrants and is accreting the discount using the effective interest rate method.

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company issued one share of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the Special Voting Preferred Share”) to the Trustee, and the parties created a trust for the Trustee to hold the Special Voting Preferred Share for the benefit of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares (the “Beneficiaries”).

In connection with the Merger and the Trust Agreement, effective February 20, 2015, the Company filed a certificate of designation of the Special Voting Preferred Share (the “Special Voting Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State. Pursuant to the Special Voting Certificate of Designation, one share of the Company’s blank check preferred stock was designated as the Special Voting Preferred Share. The Special Voting Preferred Share entitles the Trustee to exercise the number of votes equal to the number of exchangeable Shares outstanding on a one-for-one basis during the term of the Trust Agreement.
The Special Voting Preferred Share is not entitled to receive any dividends or to receive any assets of the Company upon liquidation, and is not convertible into common shares of the Company.
The voting rights of the Special Voting Preferred Share will terminate pursuant to and in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Special Voting Preferred Share will be automatically cancelled at such time as no Exchangeable Shares are held by a Beneficiary.

13. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Commitments
On February 25, 2015, 262,904 common shares were issued to two former lenders connected with a $241,185 loan received and repaid during fiscal 2013. The common shares were valued at $210,323 based on the value of the concurrent private placement, and recorded in stock-based compensation on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As part of the consideration for the initial loan the former Chief Technology Officer and the new Chief Technology Officer had transferred 314,560 common shares to the lenders. For contributing the common shares to the lenders, the Company intends to reimburse the former Chief Technology Officer and the new Chief Technology Officer 320,000 common shares, each. As at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, these shares have not yet been issued.
14. | RISK MANAGEMENT |
The Company’s cash balances are maintained in two banks in Canada and a Canadian Bank subsidiary in the US. US Bank Deposits held in banks in Canada are insured up to $100,000 CAD per depositor for each bank by The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, a federal crown corporation. Actual balances at times may exceed these limits.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The Company has minimal exposure to fluctuations in the market interest rate. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuation the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations, as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period. The Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock, convertible debt and loans in addition to grants and investment tax credits received from the Government of Canada.
15. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
(a) Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company received an additional $606,400 from the lenders under the new terms of the loans described in note 8(f).

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, 2017 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. Bionik, Inc.’s (IMT) operations are included since its acquisition on April 21, 2016 to December 31, 2017.

Nature of Company
Bionik Laboratories Corp. is a robotics company focused on providing rehabilitation and mobility solutions to individuals with neurological and mobility challenges from hospital to home. The Company has a portfolio of products focused on upper and lower extremity rehabilitation for stroke and other mobility impair individuals, including three products in the market and four products in varying stages of development. The InMotion Systems - the InMotion ARM, In Motion Wrist, InMotion Hand – are designed to provide intelligent, adaptive therapy in a manner that has been clinically verified to maximize neuro-recovery. Bionik also has a lower-body exoskeleton under development - the ARKE - designed to allow paraplegics as well as other wheelchair users the ability to rehabilitate through walking. Bionik is developing with a partner, a lower body product based on some of the ARKE technology which should allow certain individuals with limited mobility to walk better. This product is expected to be launched in the consumer home market.
The Company acquired its in-market FDA listed products on April 21, 2016, when it acquired all of the outstanding shares and, accordingly, all assets and liabilities of IMT, a Boston, Massachusetts-based global pioneer and leader in providing effective robotic products for neurorehabilitation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 1, 2016, with IMT, Hermano Igo Krebs, and Bionik Mergerco Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. The merger agreement provided for the merger of Bionik Mergerco with and into IMT, with IMT surviving the merger as its wholly-owned subsidiary. As consideration, IMT shareholders received an aggregate of 23,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Through the acquisition of IMT, Bionik has added the portfolio focused on upper and lower extremity rehabilitation of stroke patients. Our product and development pipeline now includes three FDA listed upper extremity clinical rehabilitation products; a lower body product InMotion AnkleBot is being developed for clinical trials, as well as other potential new development product candidates. In addition, our development team has begun improvements to our current products that are on the market to be more competitive. We plan to develop other biomechatronic solutions, including consumer-level medical assistive and rehabilitative products, through internal research and development and we may in the future further augment our product portfolio through technology acquisition opportunities.
The InMotion ARM, InMotion ARM/HAND, and InMotion Wrist have been characterized as Class II medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and are listed with the FDA to market and sell in the United States. The products have also been sold in over 20 other countries. In addition to these in-market products, the InMotion AnkleBot is a development candidate, and we are also developing the 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 is being developed on the same design platform as the InMotion clinical products. All of the above products are designed to provide intelligent, patient-adaptive therapy in a manner that has been clinically verified to maximize neuro- recovery.
Two hundred and fifty of our clinical robotics products for stroke have been sold in over 20 countries, including the United States. We have a growing body of clinical data for our products. In addition, our Massachusetts-base manufacturing facility is compliant with ISO-13485 and FDA regulations.
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 filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation whereby, among other things, we changed our name to Bionik Laboratories Corp.
The Acquisition Transaction
On February 26, 2015, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Bionik Acquisition Inc. (the “Investment Agreement”), a company existing under the laws of Canada, and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Acquireco”), and Bionik Laboratories, Inc. (“Bionik Canada”), a company incorporated on March 24, 2011 under the Canada Business Corporations Act, whereby we acquired 100 Class 1 common shares of Bionik Canada representing 100% of the outstanding Class 1 common shares of Bionik Canada, taking into account the Exchangeable Share Transaction (as defined below) (the “Acquisition Transaction”). After giving effect to the Acquisition Transaction, we commenced operations through Bionik Canada.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, we transferred all of the business, properties, assets, operations and goodwill of the Company (other than cash and cash equivalents), and liabilities as of March 6, 2013, to our then-existing wholly owned subsidiary, Strategic Dental Alliance, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Strategic Dental Alliance”), and then transferred all of the capital stock of Strategic Dental Alliance to Brian E. Ray, a former officer and existing director (through March 20, 2015) and Jon Lundgreen, a former officer and director, pursuant to a Spin-Off Agreement (the “Spin-Off Agreement”). Also as of immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction and the First Closing, we entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Tungsten 74 LLC, pursuant to which Tungsten 74 LLC assumed all of our remaining liabilities through the closing of the Acquisition Transaction (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). Accordingly, as of the closing of the Acquisition Transaction and the First Closing, we had no assets or liabilities.
As a condition of the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, Bionik Canada created a new class of exchangeable shares (the “Exchangeable Shares”), which were issued to the existing common shareholders of Bionik Canada in exchange for all of their outstanding common shares, all of which were cancelled (the “Exchangeable Share Transaction”).
21 |
Pursuant to the rights and privileges of the Exchangeable Shares, the holders of such Exchangeable Shares maintain the right to (i) receive dividends equal to, and paid concurrently with, dividends paid by the Company to the holders of Common Stock; (ii) vote, through the Trustee’s voting of the Special Voting Preferred Stock (as defined herein) on all matters that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote upon; and (iii) receive shares of Common Stock upon the liquidation or insolvency of the Company upon the redemption of such Exchangeable Shares by Acquireco.
As part of the Exchangeable Share Transaction, we entered into the following agreements, each dated February 26, 2015:
· | Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with Bionik Canada and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Trustee”); and |
· | Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Acquireco and Bionik Canada. |
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the parties created a trust for the benefit of its beneficiaries, which are the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, enabling the Trustee to exercise the voting rights of such holders until such time as they choose to redeem their Exchangeable Shares for shares of the Common Stock of the Company, and allowing the Trustee to hold certain exchange rights in respect of the Exchangeable Shares.
As a condition of the Trust Agreement and prior to the execution thereof, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of State, effective February 20, 2015, designating a class of our preferred shares as The Special Voting Preferred Stock (the “Special Voting Preferred Stock”) and issued one share of the Special Voting Preferred Stock to the Trustee.
The Special Voting Preferred Stock entitles the Trustee to exercise the number of votes equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding on a one-for-one basis during the term of the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement further sets out the terms and conditions under which holders of the Exchangeable Shares are entitled to instruct the Trustee as to how to vote during any stockholder meetings of our company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, we granted the Trustee the right to require our Company to purchase the Exchangeable Shares from any beneficiary upon the occurrence of certain events including in the event that we are bankrupt, insolvent or our business is wound up. The Trust Agreement continues to remain in force until the earliest of the following events: (i) no outstanding Exchangeable Shares are held by any beneficiary under the Trust Agreement; and (ii) each of Bionik Canada and us elects to terminate the Trust Agreement in writing and the termination is approved by the beneficiaries.
Pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, we agreed to certain covenants while the Exchangeable Shares were outstanding, including: (i) not to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock unless simultaneously declaring the equivalent dividend for the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, (ii) advising Bionik Canada in advance of any dividend declaration by our company, (iii) ensure that the record date for any dividend or other distribution declared on the shares of the Company is not less than seven days after the declaration date of such dividend or other distribution; (iv) taking all actions reasonably necessary to enable Bionik Canada to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the issued and outstanding Exchangeable Shares, (iv) to ensure that shares of the Company are delivered to holders of Exchangeable Shares upon exercise of certain redemption rights set out in the agreement and in the rights and restrictions of the Exchangeable Shares, and (v) reserving for issuance and keeping available from our authorized common stock such number of shares as may be equal to: (A) the number of Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding from time to time; and (B) the number of Exchangeable Shares issuable upon the exercise of all rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares from time to time.
The Support Agreement also outlines certain restrictions on our ability to issue any dividends, rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of our stockholders during the term of the agreement unless the economic equivalent is provided to the holders of Exchangeable Shares. The Support Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario.
Between the closing of the Acquisition Transaction and June 30, 2015, we sold in a series of closing an aggregate of 16,408,250 units (the “Units”) for gross proceeds of $13,126,600 in a private placement offering (the “Offering”). Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and a four year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.40 per share.
In addition, the placement agent in the Offering and its sub-agents were issued 10% warrant coverage for all Units sold in the Offering, exercisable at $0.80 per share for a period of 4 years.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of 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 to December 31, 2017, we have generated a deficit of $29,554,125.
We expect to incur additional operating losses during this quarter and through March 31, 2018 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.
Our results of operations are presented for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 with comparatives for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Sales
The Company recorded revenue of $260,960 and $570,327 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $372,426 and $553,900 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in the revenues results from our growing sales team starting to deliver on a significant pipeline of opportunities, which we hope will continue in the future.
Cost of sales
The Company recorded cost of sales of $88,357 and $177,482 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $334,786 and $405,680 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in cost of good sold results from lower unit sales as well as a $43,009 inventory write-off in the period ended December 31, 2016.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 was $2,347,916 and $8,068,811 compared to $1,609,954 and $5,450,290 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, as further detailed below.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 was $432,260 and $1,313,077 compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 of $377,046 and $646,509. The sales and marketing team was expanded starting in August 2016, and January through February 2017 with the addition of five sales and marketing employees, including a Chief Commercialization Officer and marketing and sales support to support the launch of the new InMotion V2 product in the fall of 2017. Prior years expenses included two sales employees and their expenses since the acquisition of IMT on April 21, 2016.
Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 were $546,350 and $1,947,659 compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 of $571,671 and $1,803,234. The increase for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016, primarily relates to additional development and prototyping costs for our new product development projects.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $783,784 and $2,916,917, compared to general and administrative expenses of $409,669 and $2,291,136 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in these expenses is primarily due to public company related expenses, the addition of a new employee and a consultant, increased compensation to our new CEO who started September 1, 2017 as well as the amounts owing to the former CEO of the Company. The expenses for the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2016 include the expenses related to the IMT acquisition in 2016. In addition, the previous year’s costs included cost of our former Chief Operating Officer; this position was reallocated to research and development in the current fiscal year.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $271,001 and $1,284,257 in share-based compensation expense compared to $227,540 and $651,630 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, due to the increase in options issued in 2017 over 2016.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $216,302 and $290,375 as warrant accretion expense compared to $Nil for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 due to the amortization of the fair value of warrants related to the convertible notes.
Other Expenses
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, we incurred interest expenses of $416,990 and $657,350 compared to interest expenses of $13,808 and $23,839 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense relates to the Company having more high interest bearing debt during the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2017 when compared to December 31, 2016.
Some of the Company’s outstanding warrants include price protection provisions that allow for a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock or options, rights, warrants or securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the outstanding warrants, subject to certain important exceptions. Simultaneously, due to an anti-dilution clause, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these outstanding warrants shall be increased based on a pre-defined formula.

The adaptation of the FASB issued, ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Down Round Features II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instrument of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests With a Scope Exception , allows a financial instrument with a down-round feature to no longer automatically be classified as a liability solely based on the existence of the down-round provision. The update means the instrument does not have to be accounted for as a derivative and be subject to an updated fair value measurement each reporting period. The Company has adopted ASU No.2017-11 in the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
Other Income
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, we had other expense of $59 and other income of $649 compared to other income of $4,363 and $410,877 for the three and nine months ended December 31,2016. Prior year higher amounts are related to refundable scientific tax credits that the Company is no longer eligible for.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 amounted to $(2,580,759) and $(8,436,636) resulting in a loss per share of $(0.03) and $(0.08), compared to a loss of ($1,581,759) and ($4,915,032) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, as adjusted resulting in a loss per share of $(0.02) and loss per share of $(0.05).
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 $6,699,975, short term loan of $400,000 and raising $1,125,038 in June 2017 from its warrant solicitation. At December 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $998,661.
Based on our current burn rate, we need to raise additional capital in the short term to fund operations and meet expected future liquidity requirements, or we will be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines or our operations. We are seeking to raise up to $14 million through a convertible notes offering, which, if successful, will enable us to continue operations based on our current burn rate, for the next 12 months. Further all of our convertible notes will automatically convert into equity if an upon the successful closing of at least $7 million in such offering. We cannot give any assurance at this time that we will successfully raise all of such capital or any other capital. The Company expects a combination of the foregoing and any other successful financings, if any, 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 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 nine months ended December 31, 2017, we used cash in operating activities of $(5,215,697) compared to $(5,540,946) for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The decreased use of cash is mainly attributable to decreased prepaid expenses and increased accounts payable liability in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 over the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $(17,182) (December 31, 2016 - ($9,827)) related to equipment purchases.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,687,890 for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $749,968 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 is due to receipt of an additional $4,699,975 as convertible loans, $400,000 as a short term loan provided by a director of the Company and repaid in January 2018 and $1,125,038 received from the Company’s offer to amend and exercise its outstanding warrants which closed in June 2017, which resulted in 5,001,172 common shares being issued. The Company also paid back $200,000 of principal and $49,505 of interest to a promissory note holder and $208,359 of principal and $79,259 of interest to its demand loan holders.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires 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 does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 will have a material effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial position 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 makes 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 is still assessing the impact that the adoption of AS 2016-01 will have on the condensed consolidated interim financial position 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 is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transaction are simplified, including (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company has adopted this policy during the period and there was no impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
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 is still assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
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 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 June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date.
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.
In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02. The Company is not early adopting this standard; however, we are currently assessing the impact that the eventual adoption of this standard will have on the Company.
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 have no off-balance sheet transactions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.
25 |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, 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.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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 ineffective due to a lack of segregation of duties and as a result of a transition of duties with new management starting as of September 1, 2017.
