1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company and its Operations

 

Bionik Laboratories Corp. (formerly Drywave Technologies Inc., 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. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consolidate the Company and, subject to the Exchangeable Shares referred to below, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Bionik Laboratories Inc. (“Bionik Canada”) and Bionik Acquisition Inc.

 

The Company is a bioengineering research and development company targeting diseases and injuries that impact human mobility. The Company is working towards its first product, which will be the “ARKE”, a robotic pair of exoskeleton legs to be used for rehabilitation purposes and potentially for day-to-day use as a replacement for a wheelchair.

 

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.

 

On February 26, 2015, the Company finalized a Share Exchange Agreement whereby Bionik Canada issued 50,000,000 Exchangeable Shares, representing a 3.14 exchange ratio, for 100% of the 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 8).

 

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 subsidiaries, Bionik Acquisition Inc. and Bionik Laboratories Inc. References to Drywave relate to the Company prior to the Merger.

 

The Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. As at September 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital surplus of $8,080,265 (December 31, 2014 - a working capital deficit of $128,361) and shareholders’ equity of $8,178,687 (December 31, 2014 - a shareholder’s deficiency of $50,439) and incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $4,808,190 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 (September 30, 2014 - $1,931,362).  Further, the Company expects that the ARKE will be categorized as a Class II medical device with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and accordingly will be subject to FDA regulations, guidelines and the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) in order to market and sell their product in the U.S. The costs of obtaining the necessary FDA approval and maintaining compliance with the FDA could be significant.

 

The Company’s principal offices are located at 483 Bay Street, N105, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 2C9.

2.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 and should be read in conjunction with those annual audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. 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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

On May 28, 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 interim financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.

 

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The impact on the condensed interim financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 will be assessed by management.

 

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.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

On April 1, 2015, Bionik Canada and Bionik Acquisition Inc. changed its functional currency from the Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar. This reflects the fact that the majority of the Company’s business is influenced by an economic environment denominated in U.S. currency as well the Company anticipates revenues to be earned in U.S. dollars. The change in accounting treatment is applied prospectively. The functional currency is separately determined for the Company and each of its subsidiaries, and is used to measure the financial position and operating results. 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.

4.LOAN RECEIVABLE

 

During the period, the Company provided two loans to a third party (the “Borrower”) in the aggregate amount of $300,000 under normal commercial terms, while the Company and Borrower explore a possible strategic relationship or other commercial transaction (a “Possible Transaction”). The loans both carry an interest rate of 6% and are secured by all assets of the third party subject to a $200,000 subordination to a third party financial services company. Of the $300,000, $150,000 is repayable upon the earliest of May 5, 2016, the consummation of certain possible transactions and any consolidation, merger, combination, reorganization or other similar transaction entered into by the Borrower, and interest is payable semi-yearly. The remaining $150,000, along with accrued interest, is repayable upon the earliest of the nine month anniversary of the termination date of any letter of intent with respect to a Possible Transaction and the consummation of certain Possible Transactions or any other similar transaction similar to a Possible Transaction without the participation of the Company. As at September 30, 2015, accrued interest amounted to $3,760, which is included in the loan balance.

6.CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

On December 8, 2011, the Company received $61,500 CAD from a lender that at the time was non-interest bearing and had no specified terms of repayment. On February 28, 2012 the lender and the Company agreed to the terms of a Convertible Secured Promissory Note, which securitized the previous note plus an additional $60,000 CAD for a total principal amount of $121,500 CAD. The note was interest bearing at prime plus 1%, secured by a general security agreement and was to mature on the earlier of a qualifying financing event or February 28, 2014. The lender had an option to convert the principal plus accrued interest at a discount of 20% to the share price in the event of a qualifying financing event prior to February 28, 2014.

 

The note matured on February 28, 2014, at this point the conversion option expired and the note became due on demand; however, no repayment was demanded. Upon the occurrence of the April financing (Note 8(i)) the Company agreed to honor the original conversion option and a beneficial conversion feature of $27,677 was recognized. As the note was due on demand the Company immediately recognized imputed interest of $27,677 in the condensed consolidated interim statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

On May 9, 2014, the lender converted the note plus accrued interest into common shares based on the 20% discount to the $0.81 ($0.90 CAD) per share equity financing that was accomplished in April 2014 and the Company issued these pre-transaction shares in June, 2014 (see Note 8(iii)).

10.WARRANTS - continued

 

In 2014 the Company repaid loans of $180,940 plus accrued interest of $12,138 owing to investors introduced by Pope and Co. As part of this transaction the Company committed and was obligated and will issue to these lenders warrants exercisable into 349,522 Exchangeable Shares at an exercise price of $0.23 per share. Subsequent to period end these warrants were issued pursuant to the prior commitment. (Note 13).

 

11.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Commitments

 

During the quarter, the Company entered into service agreements that result in a commitment to issue up to an aggregate 102,500 common shares based upon certain milestones over the period from August 2015 to July 2017 and pay up to $135,000 over the next 12 months. Subsequent to period end 20,000 common shares were issued pursuant to this commitment. (Note 13)

 

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.

 

12.RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s cash balances are maintained in two banks in Canada and a Canadian Bank subsidiary in the US. 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 settled its loans payable and convertible secured promissory note; therefore, it retains minimal exposure to fluctuations in the market interest rate. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities.

12. RISK MANAGEMENT – continued

 

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.

Based on management’s assessment of the Company’s cash flow needs, management believes the Company has sufficient cash to sustain operations for an additional twelve- month period.

 

13.SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

1. Subsequent to period end, the Company issued warrants exercisable into 349,522 Exchangeable Shares to Pope and Co. pursuant to the Company’s prior commitment and obligation to Pope & Co. (Note 10). The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.23 per share until March 20, 2017.

 

2. Subsequent to period end, the Company issued 20,000 common shares pursuant to the Company’s prior commitment and obligation to service agreements (Note 11).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-looking Statements

 

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” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 period ended December 31, 2014 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.

Nature of Company

 

We are a pioneering medical device and robotics company with a focus in developing transformational technologies and solutions for individuals with neurological disorders. We strive to develop products that improve an individual’s health, comfort, accessibility and quality of life through products that use advanced algorithms and sensing technologies to anticipate a user’s movement.

 

The Company is also actively looking for complementary technologies to develop, license or acquire, and to work with other companies on mutually beneficial cooperative projects that are aligned to the Company’s technologies.

 

Products Under Development

 

Bionik’s near-term focus is on bringing its core product, ARKE, to the rehabilitation market, as well as accelerating its earlier-stage research programs, Chronos and the Apollo. As the Company looks to expand its pipeline, management believes that the technology in ARKE can be utilized for other new robotic rehabilitation products, which we expect to pursue in the future.

 

In addition to this internal pipeline, the Company has deployed a growth strategy focused on developing its earlier-stage research programs and acquiring/licensing synergistic products and technologies to fuel its product pipeline.

 

The ARKE is a robotic lower body exoskeleton designed for wheelchair bound individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries, stroke and other mobility disabilities which could allow patients to restore proper walking gait, rehabilitate more efficiently and finally could improve current methods of manual rehabilitation and its future results. ARKE is expected to complement or replace existing rehabilitation methods by enabling a patient full motion control and increasing feedback for physicians and care providers during the rehabilitation process. Further, the ability to walk during rehabilitation has the potential to reduce bone density loss, muscle atrophy, secondary illness and the frequency of re-hospitalization, while potentially helping to increase blood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body. It is also believed that additional potential improvements in patients is expected to include but are not limited to: better bowel control, better bladder control and medication reduction.

 

We have achieved significant progression in the ARKE development. We completed initial clinical testing of the generation 1 product. The feedback from this testing, directed the development for ARKE’s generation 2. Generation 2 of the ARKE exoskeleton development was completed in the third quarter of 2015 as planned and currently the manufacturing phase of the entire system is underway for use in clinical testing.

 

There are significant improvements in generation 2 of the ARKE, including:

 

·Significantly slimmer than the first clinical tested version and much lighter, and

 

 20 

 

 

we will be verifying if ARKE is potentially the slimmest exoskeleton compared to competitors;

 

·Incorporates a built-in removable data interface that will give the physiotherapist full control of the product but also will allow the patient to visually see their own progress;

·Significantly improved control system with adaptive walking and step recovery; and

·A system that collects data from all sensors on the device.

 

The next step of the data collection system is to save patient data from the exoskeleton in the data interface and send the data to the cloud where the data can be processed. In the future this system is expected to allow optimization of various rehabilitation programs and individualization of expected goals for each patient.

 

In the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2015 we expect to finalize the initial manufacturing of our generation 2 ARKE product. After manufacturing is complete Bionik will engage in clinical testing activities with our clinical partners.

 

Our product pipeline includes earlier-stage research programs that will progress as funding allows.

 

The Chronos system is an intelligent patient queuing system for clinics and hospitals. The development of Chronos has continued to progress on grant funding. We have a fully working beta version and, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we expect to test the product in a pilot clinic in order to receive feedback for improvements. This testing does not require any cash outlays as it will continue on grants at this time, as our focus remains on ARKE commercialization.

 

The Apollo is an above-the-knee prosthetic device. Development of Apollo has been on hold as a result of delays in the financing that was completed in June 2015. Now that we are funded, we expect to move forward with investigating the viability of this product and determine next steps for the development program. This will continue to be on a minimal basis as we focus our internal engineering resources and engineering management on ARKE.

 

General – History of the Company

 

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. and reduced the authorized number of shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from 200,000,000 to 150,000,000. Additionally, on September 24, 2014, our stockholders approved a 1-for-0.831105 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, and adopted an equity incentive plan. The reverse stock split was implemented on February 13, 2015.

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 and the First Closing (as defined below), 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”).

 

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.

 

 22 

 

 

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.

 

Concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition Transaction and in contemplation of the Acquisition Transaction, we sold 7,735,750 units (the “Units”) for gross proceeds of $6,188,600 (including $500,000 of outstanding bridge loans converted into Units at the offering price) at a purchase price of $0.80 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”) in a private placement offering (the “Offering”). Each Unit consists 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 (the “Warrant Shares”). We incurred share issued costs related to this transaction of $848,822.

 

The Offering was being offered with a minimum offering amount of $6,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”) and up to a maximum offering amount of $12,800,000 (subject to a $2,600,000 overallotment option). Once the Minimum Offering amount was reached and held in escrow and other conditions to closing were satisfied (including the simultaneous closing of the Acquisition Transaction), the Company and the placement agent were able to conduct a first closing (the “First Closing”). As a result of the Offering, after payment of placement agent fees and expenses but before the payment of other offering expenses such as legal and accounting expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $5,339,778 at the First Closing, including the $500,000 in bridge loans we previously received that were taken into account as part of the Minimum Offering Amount. In addition, the placement agent is entitled to 10% warrant coverage for all Units sold in the Offering, which will be exercisable at $0.80 per share for a period of 4 years.

 

 23 

 

 

As of the Acquisition Transaction and the First Closing, an aggregate of 90,575,126 shares of our Common Stock were deemed cancelled, of which 90,207,241 were held by our former Chief Executive Officer.

 

Immediately following the Acquisition Transaction, the Exchangeable Share Transaction and the First Closing, there were 63,735,813 shares of our common stock and equivalents issued and outstanding of which 6,000,063 were held by existing stockholders, 7,735,750 were held by the investors in the Offering and Bionik Canada shareholders held an equivalent of 50,000,000 shares of our common stock through their ownership of 100% of the Exchangeable Shares.

 

On March 27, 2015, we sold to accredited investors in a second closing, 1,212,500 Units for gross proceeds of $970,000 at the Purchase Price. After payment of placement agent fees and expenses but before the payment of other Offering expenses such as legal and accounting expenses, we received net proceeds of $828,900.

 

On March 31, 2015, we sold to accredited investors in a third closing of the Offering, 891,250 Units for gross proceeds of $713,000 at the Purchase Price. After payment of placement agent fees and expenses but before the payment of other offering expenses such as legal and accounting expenses, we received net proceeds of $620,310.

 

On April 21, 2015, we sold to accredited investors in a fourth closing of the Offering, 3,115,000 Units for gross proceeds of $2,492,000 at the Purchase Price. After payment of placement agent fees and expenses but before the payment of other offering expenses such as legal and accounting expenses, we received net proceeds of $2,153,040.

 

On May 27, 2015, we sold to accredited investors in a fifth closing of the Offering, 1,418,750 Units for gross proceeds of $1,135,000 at the Purchase Price. After payment of placement agent fees and expenses but before the payment of other offering expenses such as legal and accounting expenses, we received net proceeds of $983,025.

 

On June 30, 2015, we sold to accredited investors in a sixth and final closing of the Offering, 2,035,000 Units for gross proceeds of $1,628,000 at the Purchase Price. After payment of placement agent fees and expenses but before the payment of other offering expenses such as legal and accounting expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $1,416,344.

 

Through the final closing of the Offering on June 30, 2015, we raised in the Offering aggregate gross proceeds of $13,126,600. As a result, our pre-Acquisition Transaction stockholders hold approximately 8.3% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the former stockholders of Bionik Canada hold the right to approximately 69.0% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock through their ownership of 100% of the Exchangeable Shares, and the investors in the Offering hold approximately 22.7% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

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 September 30, 2015, we have generated a deficit of $9,886,971. $1,808,492 of this deficit is a stock option expense, which has no impact on cash flow.

 

We expect to incur additional operating losses during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and beyond, principally as a result of our continuing research and development of ARKE, our, marketing, selling, regulatory and clinical trials relating to our planned first product, pursuing our business plan to seek out complementary technologies, and general and administrative costs associated with being a public company.

 

Our results of operations are presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 with comparatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Bionik Canada changed its fiscal year to December 31 to conform to the fiscal year of the Company effective after Bionik Canada’s previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

 

Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2014

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1,177,312 and $4,832,989 compared to $1,173,255 and $1,927,197 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as further described below. The increase in the loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is partially due to stock compensation expense of $1,695,919 as well as increased costs related to research and development and being a public company in 2015.

 

Research and development expenses were $768,301 and $1,813,794 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to expenses of $667,263 and $1,217,183 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase relates primarily to the additional engineering and quality staff hired to develop our ARKE technology and bring the product to market.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred $372,342 and $1,303,540 of general and administrative expenses compared to $603,770 and $1,177,029 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in general and administration expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relate primarily to the growth of the Company, including the costs of being a public company and hiring our CFO. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the quarter relates to a decrease in use of consultants, legal and investment banking fees in the three month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

 25 

 

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred interest expenses of $nil and $nil and imputed interest expenses of $nil and $nil, compared to interest expenses of $nil and $22,269 and imputed interest expenses of $nil and $30,711 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The changes in interest expenses relates to the repayment of all debt in the Company by December 31, 2014.

 

Gain and losses included in other comprehensive income

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we generated a foreign exchange translation gain of $nil and $24,799, compared to a loss of $1,067 and $4,165 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The gain and losses result from the translation of the Company’s financial statements into its reporting currency the U.S. dollar.

 

Effective April 1, 2015, the Company changed the functional currency of its subsidiaries, Bionik Acquisition Inc. and Bionik Canada from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. This reflects the fact that the majority of the Company’s business is influenced by an economic environment denominated in U.S. currency as well the Company anticipates revenues to be earned in U.S. dollars. As a result of the change, there was no translation gain or loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Other Income

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had other income of $5,533 and $23,156 compared to other income of $122,735 and $624,790 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The 2014 other income is related to a Canadian cash tax refund for Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) for the period of April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014. There has been no recognition of the Company’s last SR&ED refund for the period ended February 25, 2015 to date - this refund will be recorded when received.

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $26,724 and $1,695,919 in stock compensation expense compared to $13,550 and $70,679 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in stock compensation expense relates to the stock options granted by the Company. The options previously granted by Bionik prior to the Acquisition Transaction were revalued on its completion and new options granted and options vesting during the quarter and the year to date resulted in this expense.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 amounted to $1,177,312 resulting in a loss per share of $(0.02) compared to a loss of $1,174,322 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a loss per share of $(0.02).

 

Comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 amounted to $1,177,312 and $4,808,190 resulting in a loss per share of $(0.02) and $(0.07) compared to a loss of $1,174,322 and $1,931,362 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a loss per share of $(0.02) and $(0.04).

 

 26 

 

 

The increase in the comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to higher research and development costs, and general and administrative costs and the recording of the SR&ED refund in the first quarter of 2014. There has been no recognition of the Company’s last SR&ED refund for the period ended February 25, 2015 to date - this refund will be recorded when received.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are a development stage company and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. We have incurred a deficit of $9,886,971 from inception on March 24, 2011 to September 30, 2015.

 

We have funded operations through the issuance of capital stock, loans, grants and investment tax credits received from the Government of Canada. We raised in the Offering aggregate gross proceeds of $13,126,600 which resulted in net proceeds after costs of $11,341,397. At September 30, 2015 we have cash and cash equivalents of $7,858,627. We expect that we will have sufficient funds to continue operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2014, Bionik Canada raised funds of $2,590,160 and issued 11,804,477 common shares, including debt settlements. In addition, Bionik Canada raised $228,875 from the exercise of stock options to purchase 1,310,734 common shares.

 

As we proceed with the ARKE product development we have devoted and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and research and development costs and operations, marketing, clinical trials and sales expenditures.

 

We may require additional funds to further develop our expanded business plan, including the anticipated commercialization of the ARKE in other markets and the home market in the future. Based on our current operating plans, we will require additional resources to introduce the ARKE into the home market. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amount of funds required to launch the ARKE in any other markets or any of our other proposed products, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to existing stockholders.

 

In addition, we expect to also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities including potential acquisitions of complementary technologies or business, 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 may 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.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used cash in operating activities of $3,350,350 compared to $2,287,594 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increased use of cash is mainly attributable to the larger loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $4,832,989 due to higher research and development costs, and larger compensation expense compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 loss of $1,927,197 which results after recording other income of $624,790 in government grants and scientific refunds that were accrued in the first quarter of 2014. The Company plans to apply for its final refundable scientific program during the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities of was $363,482,compared to $104,781 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net cash used in investing activities in 2014 and 2015 was used for the acquisition of equipment and, in 2015 the Company provided an interest-bearing loan to a third party of $300,000. The equipment added is principally additional computer equipment related to the increase in engineers and equipment to help with the development of our technology.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11,341,397 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2,684,709 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is due to the Offering in 2015, which was much larger than the funds raised in 2014.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

On May 28, 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 financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.

 

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The impact on the financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 will be assessed by management.

 

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.

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 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.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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 effective, primarily as a result of the promotion of our Chief Financial Officer to full-time status.
