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 capital share increase to 250,000,000 from 150,000,000 and on June 12, 2018, the Company approved the
authorization of a capital 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 December 31, 2019, the
Company had a working capital of $2,714,130 (March 31, 2019 - $479,408) and an accumulated deficit of $(54,830,651)
(March 31, 2019 - $(46,357,373)) and the Company incurred comprehensive loss of $(8,473,278) for the nine month period
ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $(7,127,966)).
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 interim consolidated
financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2019
Amounts
expressed in US dollars (unaudited)
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.

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 December 31, 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.

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 December 31, 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 $162,449 at December 31,
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 $26,911 of expenses related to warranty expenses and recorded this expense in cost of goods sold for the nine
month period ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – $35,618)

Convertible Loans Payable
|
During the nine months ended
December 31, 2019, the Company received loans from new and existing investors totaling $9,000,000 pursuant to an up to
$9,000,000 convertible note offering. This included the conversion and satisfaction of an existing $500,000 term loan at
June 30, 2019. The convertible notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month until September 30, 2019 and
$6,070,000 of these convertible notes were converted into common shares of the Company on September 30, 2019 at a conversion
price of $6.80 per share and $2,930,000 of these convertible notes were converted into common shares of the Company on
September 30, 2019 at a conversion price of $8.265. The terms of the two tranches were identical outside of the conversion price.
The interest accrued on these
convertible loans for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $Nil and $143,927 respectively and the
accrued interest was converted into shares at the respective conversion prices.
In the event the Company raises capital
through the sale of Common Stock for cash during the period ending on the three year anniversary of the earliest issuance date
of the convertible notes, and the price per share thereof (the “Offering Price”) is less than the original Conversion
Price, then in such event the Company shall issue to all convertible loan holder, at no further cost, additional shares of common
stock equal to the number of conversion shares the holders would have received upon conversion if the Conversion Price equaled
the Offering Price, less the number of shares of conversion shares actually issued on or as of the Maturity Date. Since the Company
has early adopted ASU 2017-11, the anti-dilution protection clause does not contribute to the conversion feature to be a derivative
liability.

2019, and $9.50 per share in the event of an investment after December 31, 2019 (the “Conversion Price”).
(ii) Upon
a change of control transaction prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the

be either (i) payable upon demand as of the closing of such change of control transaction or (ii) convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to such change of control transaction at a price per share equal to the lesser
of (x) the Conversion Price or (y) the per share consideration to be received by the holders of the common stock in such
change of control transaction.

Special Voting Preferred Share
In connection with the Merger (Note 1),
on February 26, 2015, the Company entered into a voting and exchange trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company issued one 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”). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Beneficiaries will have voting rights in the Company equivalent
to what they would have had, had they received shares of common stock in the same amount as the Exchangeable Shares held by 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 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 shares of common stock of the Company. The voting rights of the Special Voting Preferred Share will
terminate pursuant to and in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Special Voting Preferred Share will be automatically cancelled.

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
(a)
|
On February 25, 2015, 1,753 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 Company’s then-CTO and current CTO had transferred 2,098 common shares
to the lenders. For contributing the common shares to the lenders, the Company intends to reimburse the former CTO and current
CTO collectively, 2,134 common shares. As at December 31, 2019 these shares have not yet been issued.

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.
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 may develop a next generation/home version of the InMotion® upper-body rehabilitation technology, as well as a lower-body wearable
assistive product, in technical development, 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 these new products into the market
when the Company has sufficient funds to develop these products.
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. It is resulting in IRF providers
being publicly ranked on Medicare website, 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).
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.
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. 21 InMotion® robots were sold prior to the period ended December 31,
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 Connect™
InMotion Connect™is
designed to target the critical need to link patient centric rehabilitation results to patient management portals. InMotion Connect™
readily provides the ability for hospital management to access remotely to management dashboards presenting the utilization
data of each of their InMotion robotic devices and their robotic devices productivity. Customized reporting capabilities in the
platform focus on facility and organization measurement dashboards to support effective decision making for clinicians and for
hospital management. Through further customization with each hospital systems, patients progress during the therapy sessions and
patient’s evaluation will be made available and ultimately feed 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 Connect™will seamlessly feed data through existing various hospital protocols, providing practitioners protected
patient data and treatment results.
We have worked with
industry leaders in manufacturing and design and have also expanded our development team through partnerships with researchers
and academia.
In 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 nine months ended December 31, 2019, due to regulatory restrictions only 3 new robots were
shipped by Bionik to the Chinese JV according to contract terms. The Company is considering next steps with the Chinese JV due to its failure to pay $167,500 under the
terms of the invoice. The Chinese JV is facing difficulties to import robots into China, under current circumstances.
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® Next generation platform/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 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 11 robots in the nine months ended December 31, 2019. On January 13,
2020, the Company received a purchase order for 6 InMotion® Arm/Hand robotic devices.
We had $158,005 and $1,230,074 of revenue
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – $930,257 and $1,978,675).
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, on 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 October 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 February 13, 2020.

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 December 31, 2019, we have generated a deficit of $54,830,651.
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 nine months ended December 31,
2019 compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018
Sales were $158,005
and $1,230,074 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – $930,257 and $1,978,675).
The revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 are comprised of sales of 1 and 11 (December 31, 2018
– 9 and 21) InMotion™ robots, service and warranty income. Sales decreased from the prior three and nine month corresponding
period of 2018 due to the Company’s long sales cycle, whereas in 2018 there was a large purchase of 21 robots by one hospital
group.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of sales was $143,595
and $562,887 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – $450,304 and $1,087,540).
Gross margins were 9.1% and 54.2% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively (December 31, 2018
– 51.6% and 45%, respectively). The decrease in gross margins from the corresponding periods of 2018 is due to 2 robots being
provided as upgrades at no sales value, in connection with a commitment made by the Company.
