1
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited selected financial data of ZIM Corporation (“ZIM” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended March 31, 2018. These selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 20-F. These data have been prepared on the same basis as the audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Unless
otherwise stated in this Form 6-K the information contained herein has not been audited or reviewed by an independent auditor.
The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.
2
- GOING CONCERN
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company
w
il
l
continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and
commitment
s
in the normal course of business.
T
o date the Company has incurred an accumulated
loss of $20,779,043 and
year to date
cash flow
fro
m
operations of $117,950. This raises significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and
commitment
s when due
is
dependent on the
Company generating revenue sufficient to fund its cash flow needs. There is no certainty that this and other strategies will be
sufficient to permit the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management
is currently investigating and evaluating options that may include recapitalization of the Company and pursuing other ventures
of a different nature.
The
consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary
i
f
the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
I
f the going concern basis were
not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary
i
n
the carr
y
ing value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenue and expenses
and the classifications used in the statement of financial position. Such differences in amounts could be material.

On April
30, 2015, ZIM Corporation made an equity investment in Equispheres Inc. The investment consisted of the purchase of 250,000 common
shares at a price of $20,042.
On August
26, 2015, ZIM Corporation made an equity investment in Equispheres Inc. The investment consisted of the purchase of 500,000 common
shares at a price of $91,948.
Equispheres
Inc. is an advanced materials company developing new technologies for the production of metallic particles for use in additive
manufacturing.
In April
2017, ZIM incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called GeneSpans Corporation. GeneSpans is focused on developing intellectual
property and advancing research and development in the areas of new synthetic drugs and immunotherapies. GeneSpans’ name
was changed to NuvoBio Corporation on August 25, 2017.
In
January, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01,
Financial
Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(the
ASU). Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the
fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified
guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on
available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities,
and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business
entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.
The
effect of the adoption of this standard is an increase in the carrying value of the Equispheres investment at September 30, 2018
of $608,343 to a value of $724,218.
On August
9, 2017, Connecting People for Health Co-operative Ltd. (CP4H) was acquired for an undisclosed amount. Various options to distribute
the proceeds from the sale are being considered by the board of CP4H and will be finalized at a later date. ZIM has not recognized
this transaction in its financial statements as of March 31, 2018. Once the distribution has been finalized ZIM will recognize
its portion of the proceeds as a gain on the sale of assets.
On February
9, 2018, ZIM sold 100,000 shares of HostedBizz to HostedBizz, for cancellation, for gross proceeds of $60,000 Canadian dollars
($45,758 United States dollars).
On August
24, 2018, NuvoBio Corporation made an equity investment in Spiderwort Inc. The investment consisted of the purchase of a $10,000
Canadian dollar ($7,725 US dollar) convertible promissory note. The note accrues simple interest of 5% per annum and upon a future
equity financing of Spiderwort Inc. in an amount greater that $3,000,000 Canadian dollars all principal and accrued interest will
convert into the equity securities of the financing at a price per security equal to 80% of the equity financing price per security.
Spiderwort
Inc. is an advanced materials company developing novel, plant derived, biomaterial that will offer new avenues in 3D in vitro
research and in regenerative medicine.

statements may be made by or on behalf of the registrant. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," or variations of such words and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially
from the outcomes and results discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, without limitation,
foreign exchange risk, credit risk, fair value risks and key personnel risk and the other risks set forth under “RISK FACTORS”
in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and are therefore qualified in their entirety by reference
to the factors specifically addressed in the sections entitled " QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 6-K and our Form 20-F. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks can arise and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact
of all such risks on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. All forward-looking statements contained in this

by law.
The following
discussion includes information from the Selected Financial Data for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30,

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $107,655, an decrease from $174,205 for the same period last year. The decrease in
revenue resulted from decreases in our software, maintenance and consulting segments and a smaller reduction in the SMS messaging
segment.
Net loss
for the quarter was $107,952 as compared to a net loss of $28,033 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. On a year-to-date
basis net income was $546,578 as compared to a net loss of $75,573 for the same period in fiscal 2018. The increase in net income
is due mainly to the adoption of FASB 2016-01 and the unrealized gain on equity securities of $608,343 and is partially offset
with the decreased revenue from our operating segments.
ZIM had
cash and cash equivalents of $467,540 at September 30, 2018 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $418,507 at March 31,
2018.
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
ZIM started
operations as a developer and provider of database software known as ZIM IDE software. ZIM IDE software is used by
companies in the design, development, and management of information databases and mission critical applications. The
Company continues to provide this software and ongoing maintenance services to its client base.
Beginning
in 2002, the Company expanded its business strategy to include opportunities associated with mobile products. Prior
to fiscal 2007, the Company focused on developing products and services for the wireless data network infrastructure known as
“SMS” or “text messaging”. SMS will continue to provide a minimal amount of revenue within
the mobile segment of operations. With the acquisition of Advanced Internet Inc. (AIS) in 2007, the Company also offers mobile
content directly to end users.
In
fiscal 2018, ZIM continued to develop and sell enterprise database software to end users as well as maintain its SMS messaging
product lines. Going forward, ZIM will evaluate the viability of the enterprise database market and make adjustments as may be
required.
In 2017,
our wholly-owned subsidiary, NuvoBio signed strategic partnerships and exclusive global licensing agreements with leading drug
research institutes and companies. NuvoBio is currently funding research and development projects in the following areas:
|
·
|
Implementing unique molecular interaction &
analytics using supercomputing technologies to design small peptide drugs that bind to target proteins for cancer therapies;
and
|
|
·
|
The development of bi-specific immunology therapies
for the treatment of kidney cancer.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We prepare
our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States GAAP, which requires management to make certain
estimates and apply judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other
factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On
an ongoing basis, management reviews our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our annual consolidated
financial statements.
There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those described in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2018.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
The following
discussion includes information derived from the unaudited and not reviewed condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The information for the three months and six months ended September
30, 2018, in management's opinion, has been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information presented.
These
operating results are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. You should not rely on them to predict our
future performance.

Revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $107,655, an decrease from $174,205 for the same period last year. The decrease in
revenue resulted from decreases in our software, maintenance and consulting segments and a smaller reduction in the SMS messaging
segment.
Total
revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2018 were $317,164 as compared to $323,500 for the six months ended September
30, 2017. The decrease in revenue resulted from decreases in our SMS messaging, maintenance and consulting segments and was partially
offset by an increase in the software segment.
REVENUES
ANALYSIS BY SERVICE/PRODUCT OFFERING
SOFTWARE,
MAINTENANCE AND CONSULTING
We generate
revenues from the sale of our database product as well as the subsequent maintenance and consulting fees. Total revenues relating
to the ZIM IDE have decreased from $20,137 to $1,828 for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the
six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, revenues increased from $30,563 to $98,963. Maintenance and consulting revenue
decreased from $122,201 to $78,700 for the quarter and decreased from $221,776 to $166,825 for the six-month period. Declines
in this area are mainly due to the declining economy in Brazil and subsequent decline in our business activity in Brazil.
We
will continue to allocate resources to the maintenance and development of our database products while we continue to generate
revenues from this product line. Going forward, ZIM will evaluate the viability of the enterprise database market and make adjustments
as may be required.
BULK
SMS
Bulk
SMS messaging gives our customers the ability to send out a single message concurrently to a wide distribution list. Success in
this industry is dependent upon sending large quantities of messages on stable cost effective telecommunication routes. For the
quarter ended September 30, 2018, we experienced a decrease in revenues from $31,867, for the period ended September 30, 2017,
to $27,127. We experienced a year-to-date revenue decrease from $71,161 for the six months ended September 30, 2017, to $51,376
for the six months ended September 30, 2018. In general, bulk-messaging customers choose the service provider that is offering
the lowest cost route. Different aggregators are able to negotiate different price points based on the traffic they are able to
guarantee to the mobile operators. Due to the size of our competitors, and our competitors’ ability to negotiate better
terms, there can be no guarantee that we will have routes that are the most cost effective in the future. We are not focusing
on expanding this area of the business. As a result, we do not expect to see any further growth in our bulk messaging revenue
during the remainder of fiscal 2019.

SELLING,
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were $176,458 and $182,258,
respectively. On a year-to-date basis expenses decreased by $49,105 from $345,101 for the first half of fiscal 2017 to $295,996
for the first half of fiscal 2018. The year to date decrease in selling, general and administrative relates to a reduction in
withholding taxes and workforce reductions.
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
For the
three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company recognized compensation expense for employees and consultants
of $335 and $NIL, respectively. On a year-to-date basis, stock-based compensation increased from $NIL for the first half of fiscal
2018 to $335 for the first half of fiscal 2019. The Company does not have any non-vested awards.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT
Research
and development expenses for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $67,063 and $44,321, respectively. On a year-to-
date basis, research and development expenses increased from $98,242 for the first half of fiscal 2018 to $119,525 for the first
half of fiscal 2019 and are reflective of increased investment in research and development labour.
NET
INCOME
Net loss
for the quarter was $107,952 as compared to a net loss of $28,033 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. On a year-to-date
basis net income was $546,578 as compared to a net loss of $75,573 for the same period in fiscal 2018. The increase in net income
is due mainly to the adoption of FASB 2016-01 and the unrealized gain on equity securities of $608,343 and is partially offset
with the decreased revenue from our operating segments.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September
30, 2018, ZIM had cash and cash equivalents of $467,540 and working capital of $483,143, as compared to cash and cash equivalents
of $418,507 and working capital of $608,459 at March 31, 2018. This increase in cash position principally reflects receipt of
investment tax credits.
Cash
flows for the fiscal periods were as follows:

At September
30, 2018, the Company had a working capital line from its principal banker for approximately $38,625 in addition to a cash and
cash equivalent balance of $467,540. Management believes that these funds, together with cash from on-going operations, may not
be sufficient to fund existing operations for the next 12 months. Management is currently investigating and evaluating options
that may include recapitalization of the Company and pursuing other ventures of a different nature.
Future
liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors, including the level of success the Company has in executing
its strategic plan as well as its ability to maintain business in existing operations and its ability to raise additional financing.
If ZIM’s expenses surpass the funds available or if ZIM requires additional expenditures to grow the business, the Company
may be unable to obtain the necessary funds and ZIM may have to curtail or suspend some or all of its business operations, which
would likely have a material adverse effect on its business relationships, financial results, financial condition and prospects,
as well as on the ability of shareholders to recover their investment.

FAIR
VALUE
The carrying
values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment tax credits receivable, lines of credit, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments.
KEY
PERSONNEL RISK
We currently
depend heavily on the services of Dr. Michael Cowpland and Mr. James Stechyson. The loss of the services of Dr. Cowpland and Mr.
Stechyson and other key personnel could affect our performance in a material and adverse way.
