BIONIK LABORATORIES CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Bionik Laboratories Corp. (“Bionik” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on June 24, 2021. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of December 31, 2021, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2021 was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending March 31, 2022 or any period thereafter.
Reclassifications
For comparability purposes, certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used for, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, impairment analysis of goodwill and intangibles including their useful lives, research and development accruals, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowances, and fair value of stock options. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of December 31, 2021 and through the date of this report filing. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.
All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies have been updated and adopted as of April 1, 2021 which differ from the accounting policies disclosed in Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 24, 2021:
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as compared to the double-declining the method the Company had previously used. Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the respective lease term. Included in property and equipment are certain robots that are used for demonstration purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
6
Bionik continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful life of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. Bionik evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets based on profitability and cash flow expectations for the related asset. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets. Based on this evaluation, Bionik believes that, as of each of the balance sheet dates presented, none of Bionik’s long-lived assets were impaired.
The useful lives for property and equipment is as follows:
| Useful Life (in years) | |
Computers and electronics |
| 3 |
Furniture and fixtures |
| 5 |
Demonstration equipment |
| 3 |
Manufacturing equipment |
| 5 |
Tools and parts |
| 3 |
Assets under capital lease |
| Life of lease |
Foreign Currency Translation
A portion of Bionik’s operations is conducted through operations in countries other than the United States. Since the Company conduct its business in U.S. dollars, the main exposure, if any, results from changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. Bionik’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s policy is to reduce exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by having most of Bionik’s assets and liabilities, as well as most of Bionik’s revenues and expenditures, in U.S. dollars, or U.S. dollar linked. The Company has not historically engaged in hedging activities relating to its non-U.S. dollar operations. The Company may incur negative foreign currency conversion charges as a result of changes in currency exchange rates.
The remainder of Bionik’s critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affecting the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. There have been no other material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as of December 31, 2021.
Going Concern
At December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $3.4 million. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4.2 million and at March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $0.7 million. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company has accumulated deficits of $93.7 million and $85.0 million, respectively. The Company has incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $7.0 million and $9.0 million respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $8.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively.
On July 15, 2021, the Company commenced a refinancing of its existing indebtedness and launched a new secured convertible promissory note offering of up to $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of $8.3 million in principal of convertible notes of which an aggregate of $5.0 million was purchased for cash and the remainder was issued as a result of consolidating existing debt. Refer to Note 5- Loans & PPP Loans, for more information.
The Company’s future funding requirements depend on a number of factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its current and future products and the resources the Company devotes to developing and supporting the same. 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 additional 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.
7
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 classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company does not amortize its goodwill, but instead tests for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying value of the asset.
Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a slowdown in business during the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, and we determined there are events and changes in circumstances that indicate our goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, we evaluated the fair value of the goodwill and other intangible assets. Based on this evaluation, we determined that certain intangible assets were fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $918,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2021. Further, we determined that the goodwill with the carrying value of $4.3 million was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $4.3 million.
As noted in our significant accounting policies, we have one reporting unit and its carrying value was compared to its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2021, the Company considered various valuation approaches to estimate its fair value, including an income approach and an asset approach.
The income approach is based on the present value of future cash flows, which are derived from long term financial forecasts, and requires significant assumptions and judgement including among others, a discount rate and a terminal value. Fair values were based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital. The present value of future cash flows was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which included long-term growth rate of 3%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 25%, which considered the risk of achieving the projected cash flows, including the risk applicable to the reporting unit, industry and market as a whole.
The adjusted book value method, a form of the asset approach, was used to estimate the fair value by subtracting the market value of the non-debt liabilities from the market value of the assets. Since the value indication we derived from the income approach was below the value indicated from the asset approach, the Company relied on the asset approach to determine the fair value for the goodwill and intangible asset impairment test.
Changes to goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 were as follows:

5. Loans & PPP Loans
Refinancing and 2021 Convertible Promissory Note Offering
During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company commenced a refinancing of its existing indebtedness and launched a new secured convertible promissory note offering of up to $10.0 million (the “2021 Offering”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Offering, the Company is offering for sale up to $10.0 million in convertible promissory notes (the “2021 Notes”) to accredited investors and non-U.S. persons. As a result, the Company issued an aggregate of $8.3 million in principal of 2021 Notes of which an aggregate of $5.0 million was purchased for cash and the remainder was issued as a result of consolidating existing debt.
Under the Company’s existing term loan and security agreement as well as the existing shareholder loan as mentioned below, a portion of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest were used as consideration to acquire 2021 Notes in the 2021 Offering and, as a result and with the option exercises described below, the term loan agreement and the existing shareholder loan were deemed paid in full and terminated. Accordingly, an aggregate of $1.1 million in outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest under the term loan agreement was used to purchase a like amount of 2021 Notes in the 2021 Offering and an aggregate of $2.2 million in outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the shareholder loan was used to purchase a like amount of 2021 Notes in the 2021 Offering. The remaining $0.6 million of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the term loan agreement was applied towards the purchase price to exercise outstanding options of certain debtholders.
10
Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of $5.0 million in principal of additional 2021 Notes, which was purchased for cash. The Company intends to use the net cash proceeds from the 2021 Offering for the Company’s working capital requirements. The 2021 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month, computed based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be payable, along with the principal amount, on the earlier of (the “Maturity Date”): (a) March 31, 2022 and (b) the consummation of the 2021 Offering, provided that the Company raises in one or more tranches aggregate gross proceeds of no less than $10,000,000.
Interest expense associated with the 2021 Notes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, was $0.2 million and $0.5 million respectively.
The 2021 Note will be convertible either on the Maturity Date without any action on the part of the Lender into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $9.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”), or upon a change of control transaction prior to the Maturity Date at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal of the 2021 Notes under the 2021 Offering, 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.
2020 Convertible Note Offering
During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $1.5 million, in addition to $0.1 million previously loaned to the Company, pursuant to a $7.0 million convertible note offering (the “2020 Convertible Note Offering”). The convertible notes issued in the 2020 Convertible Note Offering (the “2020 Convertible Notes”) bear interest at a fixed rate at 1% per month. The 2020 Convertible Notes were converted into common stock of the Company at March 31, 2021 in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Convertible Note Offering.
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 issuance date of the 2020 Convertible Notes, and the price per share thereof (the “Offering Price”) minus 20% is less than the original conversion price, then in such event the Company shall issue to all Convertible Noteholders, 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 to a 20% discount to the Offering Price, less the number of conversion shares actually issued on or as of the maturity date of the 2020 Convertible Notes. Since the Company has adopted ASU 2017-11, the anti-dilution protection clause does not contribute to the conversion feature to be a derivative liability.
The Company did not incur interest expense associated with the 2020 Convertible Notes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred interest expense associated with the 2020 Convertible Notes of $47,000 and $0.1 million respectively.
Shareholder loan
On March 23, 2020, the Company received a $2.0 million loan from an existing shareholder. The promissory note evidencing the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month and has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) March 31, 2022 and (ii) the date of receipt of a minimum of $5.0 million from a “Subsequent Financing.” The accrued interest shall be payable in cash commencing on March 31, 2021 with the quarterly payments accrued for the first three payment dates (3-month, 6-month and 9-month anniversaries of the issue date), and then quarterly thereafter. The remaining half of the interest accrued will be paid upon the maturity date. The loan is repayable or convertible to common shares at the loan holder’s option on March 31, 2022 at a price per share equal to the price per share of the Company’s then most recent capital raise or debt conversion, or any other valuation as agreed in writing between the loan holder and the Company.
On February 24, 2021, and in addition to the shareholder loan above, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement dated February 12, 2021 where Bionik may borrow up to $3.0 million from lenders from time to time. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month. The principal amount and interest on the loan will be due and payable on the earlier of (i) February 12, 2023 and (ii) the date of receipt by the Company of a minimum of $3.0 million in equity. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company received term loan proceeds totaling $0.6 million.
11
Interest expense associated with these loans for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million respectively. The Company did not incur interest expense on these loans during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense associated with these loans for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.1 million.
As noted above, on July 15, 2021 this indebtedness was consolidated into the Company’s 2021 Notes. An aggregate of $3.3 million in outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest was used to purchase a like amount of 2021 Notes in the 2021 Offering. The remaining $0.6 million of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest was applied towards the purchase price to exercise outstanding options of the debtholders.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In May 2020, the Company signed a promissory note for $0.5 million pursuant to the federal Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan is unsecured, bears interest of 1% per annum and a deferment period of 6 months. The loan is to be used primarily for payroll related costs, lease, and utility payments. The Company has applied for forgiveness and as such forgiveness was granted in May 2021. The extinguishment of the PPP loan is recorded in the statement of operations as other income.

7. Stock-Based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Bionik granted options to purchase 273,500 and 76,902 shares of common stock to employees during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock options granted to employees or non-employees typically vest over a 1 to 5 year period.
Performance Based Units (“PSUs”) granted to employees vest annually based on time and continued performance and the achievement of performance goals as determined by the board of directors.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated grant date fair values for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The Company’s assumptions do not include an estimated forfeiture rate.
The weighted-average grant date fair values of options granted to employees during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2.05 and $1.05, respectively. All grants awarded during the periods presented used the following assumptions:

Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. As it relates to grants previously issued, Bionik’s estimated expected stock price volatility is based on past grants that have been made. Bionik’s expected term of options granted was derived from looking at the Company’s exercise history of its awards granted. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
13
As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options and PSUs expected to vest was $0.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.32 years.

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.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, an authoritative guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and making simplifications in other areas. It is effective from the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. If adopted early, the Company must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The amendments have differing adoption methods including retrospectively, prospectively and/or modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, depending on the specific change. The Company does not anticipate the new guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

In June 2020, we launched our InMotion Connect platform, which consists of a hardware device connected to the InMotion Robot as well as a subscription to InMotion Connect Pulse. This platform provides anonymized data allowing us to focus activity to increase adoption and utilization of InMotion robotic technologies across healthcare systems.
During 2021, we implemented a machine learning prototype predictive model for the classification of the level of responsiveness of the InMotion® therapy outcomes. This solution was developed with Bitstrapped, a Toronto-based data engineering firm specializing in machine learning infrastructure through their partnership with Google Cloud Platform. This prototype enables us to continually train the model on anonymized data collected in real-time with InMotion Connect in rehabilitation facilities and track improvements in performance. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, we continued to move this strategy forward by working with our team of data scientists to analyze the data we currently have and start making correlations with the intent to enhance the patient experience. This approach will continue to advance and develop as funds allow.
On July 15, 2021, we commenced a refinancing of our existing indebtedness and launched a new secured convertible promissory note offering of up to $10.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the offering, we were offering for sale up to $10.0 million in convertible notes to accredited investors and non-U.S. persons. As a result, we issued an aggregate of $8.3 million in principal of convertible notes of which an aggregate of $5.0 million was purchased for cash and the remainder was issued as a result of consolidating existing debt.
Covid-19 Pandemic
As a result of extended shutdowns of businesses around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a slowdown in our business as most of the capital expenditure programs of the healthcare facilities that make up our customer base have been put on hold or has been significantly curtailed. This, along with our typically long sales cycle, has affected our ability to generate revenues in recent months. As a result, we have taken steps to address the decrease in revenue, as follows:
Effective April 1, 2020, we furloughed nine employees in the United States and temporarily laid-off one employee in Canada. Additionally, our senior management agreed to a salary deferral of between 30-50%. Our remaining employees in the U.S. received base salary reductions of between 30%-50%. In Canada, our remaining employees received a reduction in base salary and hours of 45%. As a result of obtaining the U.S. and Canadian government’s programs described below U.S. employees with salaries less than $100,000 annually were returned to full salary and with salaries exceeding $100,000 annually were increased to 75% of their normal base salary. Senior managements salaries were restored in December 2020 until March 2021, when certain senior management salaries were reduced between 30%-50% for 3 months.
On May 6, 2020, our U.S. subsidiary received funding in the original principal amount of $0.5 million pursuant to the federal Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan was funded by Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note dated as of May 1, 2020. We have used the proceeds from this funding for eligible purposes, including to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and utility payments. We applied for forgiveness of this debt with the SBA and as of May 23, 2021, have received forgiveness of the loan and all interest of $0.5 million which is included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Our Canada operations secured $84,000 of government financial relief under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy in 2020, which is available monthly until May 2022, which was used to return the salaries of many of our Canadian non-management employees back to their full amount. There was no relief received in the nine months ended December 31, 2021.
We cannot predict what the next stages of the COVID-19 pandemic will be, after the Delta and Omicron variants offset gains from increased worldwide vaccinations.

The change in total revenues was attributable to a number of factors:
● | While one unit was sold in each period, product revenue increased in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period as our 2021 sale was a direct sale as compared to a sale through the distribution model in the 2020 period. |
● | Subscription revenue includes InMotion Connect Pulse solutions subscriptions and remained consistent with the 2020 period. |
● | Our service, extended warranty and other revenues decreased due to a reduced number of service calls during the 2021 period and less units under warranty during the 2021 period. |

Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a slowdown in business during the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, and we determined there are events and changes in circumstances that indicate our goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, we evaluated the fair value of the goodwill and other intangible assets. Based on this evaluation, we determined that certain intangible assets were fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $918,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2021. Further, we determined that the goodwill with the carrying value of $4.3 million was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $4.3 million.
As noted in our significant accounting policies, we have one reporting unit and its carrying value was compared to its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2021, the Company considered various valuation approaches to estimate its fair value, including an income approach and an asset approach.
The income approach is based on the present value of future cash flows, which are derived from long term financial forecasts, and requires significant assumptions and judgement including among others, a discount rate and a terminal value. Fair values were based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital. The present value of future cash flows was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which included long-term growth rate of 3%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 25%, which considered the risk of achieving the projected cash flows, including the risk applicable to the reporting unit, industry and market as a whole.
The adjusted book value method, a form of the asset approach, was used to estimate the fair value by subtracting the market value of the non-debt liabilities from the market value of the assets. Since the value indication we derived from the income approach was below the value indicated from the asset approach, the Company relied on the asset approach to determine the fair value for the goodwill and intangible asset impairment test.
Based on our significant accounting policy we monitor our intangible assets annually and more regularly as factors and other indicators warrant to determine if any impairment of these assets is needed.

Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a slowdown in business during the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, and we determined there are events and changes in circumstances that indicate our goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, we evaluated the fair value of the goodwill and other intangible assets. Based on this evaluation, we determined that certain intangible assets were fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $918,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2021. Further, we determined that the goodwill with the carrying value of $4.3 million was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $4.3 million.
As noted in our significant accounting policies, we have one reporting unit and its carrying value was compared to its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2021, the Company considered various valuation approaches to estimate its fair value, including an income approach and an asset approach.
The income approach is based on the present value of future cash flows, which are derived from long term financial forecasts, and requires significant assumptions and judgement including among others, a discount rate and a terminal value. Fair values were based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital.
The present value of future cash flows was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows, which included long-term growth rate of 3%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) of 25%, which considered the risk of achieving the projected cash flows, including the risk applicable to the reporting unit, industry and market as a whole.
The adjusted book value method, a form of the asset approach, was used to estimate the fair value by subtracting the market value of the non-debt liabilities from the market value of the assets. Since the value indication we derived from the income approach was below the value indicated from the asset approach, the Company relied on the asset approach to determine the fair value for the goodwill and intangible asset impairment test.
Based on our significant accounting policy we monitor our intangible assets annually and more regularly as factors and other indicators warrant to determine if any impairment of these assets is needed.

For the nine month period ending December 31, 2021 other (income) consisted of the extinguishment of the PPP loan associated with the forgiveness from the federal government of $0.5 which was partially offset by the foreign currency impact of changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and US dollar. In the 2020 period, we received Canadian government grants relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, used for payroll in Canada (CEWS) which was partially offset by the foreign currency impact of changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and US dollar.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded operations through the issuance of capital stock, loans, grants, and investment tax credits and forgivable loans received from the U.S. and Canada governments. We require cash to pay our operating expenses, including research and development activities, fund working capital needs and make capital expenditures. At December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were $3.4 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are predominantly cash in operating accounts.
On July 15, 2021, we commenced a refinancing of its existing indebtedness and launched a new secured convertible promissory note offering of up to $10.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the offering, we are offering for sale up to $10.0 million in convertible notes to accredited investors and non-U.S. persons. As a result, we issued an aggregate of $8.3 million in principal of convertible notes of which an aggregate of $5.0 million was purchased for cash and the remainder was issued as a result of consolidating existing debt.
Under our then-existing term loan and security agreement as well as the then existing shareholder loan, a portion of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest were used as consideration to acquire new convertible promissory notes in the July 2021 offering and, as a result and with the option exercises described below, the term loan agreement and the existing shareholder loan were deemed paid in full and terminated. Accordingly, an aggregate of $1.1 million in outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest under the term loan agreement was used to purchase a like amount of convertible notes in the July 2021 offering and an aggregate of $2.2 million in outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the shareholder loan was used to purchase a like amount of convertible notes in the July 2021 offering. The remaining $0.6 million of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the term loan agreement was applied towards the purchase price to exercise outstanding options held by certain of the debtholders.
Based on our current burn rate, we need to raise additional capital to fund operations, hire necessary employees we lost as a result of COVID-19 related furloughs and other terminations, and meet expected future liquidity requirements. We are continuously in discussions to raise additional capital, which may include or be a combination of convertible or term loans and equity which, if successful, will enable us to continue operations based on our current burn rate, for the next 12 months; however, we cannot give any assurance at this time that we will successfully raise all or some of such capital or any other capital.
There can be no assurance that necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to us, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations or fully implement our business plan, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Additionally, we will need additional funds to respond to business opportunities including potential acquisitions of complementary technologies, protect our intellectual property, develop new lines of business, and enhance our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for any such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We will also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to businesses and the investing landscape around the world. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our plans will be successful. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines or our operations.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and resulted primarily from $8.7 million in net loss and $0.5 million relating to the extinguishment of the PPP loan offset by $5.2 million in impairment expense and approximately $1.0 million in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and stock-based compensation expense. Net changes in working capital items increased cash from operating activities by approximately $0.2 million, primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable due to cash collection efforts. Net cash used in investing activities was $13,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 related to the purchase of equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $5.5 million, related to proceeds received from the 2021 notes and term loan.
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, and resulted primarily from $12.6 million in net loss offset by approximately $1.1 million in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and stock-based compensation expense as well as a $7.2 million in impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets for the period. Net changes in working capital items increased cash from operating activities by approximately $1.0 million, primarily related to decreases in accounts receivable associated with payments collected from our customers and a decrease in our inventory associated with product shipments during the period. There was no net cash used in or provided by investing activities for the 2020 period. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 was $2.0 million, related to proceeds received from the convertible loans and PPP loans.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations set forth above are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following accounting policies have been updated and adopted as of April 1, 2021:
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as compared to the double-declining the method the Company had previously used. Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the respective lease term. Included in property and equipment are certain robots that are used for demonstration purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Bionik continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful life of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. Bionik evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets based on profitability and cash flow expectations for the related asset. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets. Based on this evaluation, Bionik believes that, as of each of the balance sheet dates presented, none of Bionik’s long-lived assets were impaired.
26
Foreign Currency Translation
A portion of our operations is conducted through operations in countries other than the United States. Since we conduct our business in U.S. dollars, the main exposure, if any, results from changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Our policy is to reduce exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by having most of our assets and liabilities, as well as most of our revenues and expenditures, in U.S. dollars, or U.S. dollar linked. We have not historically engaged in hedging activities relating to our non-U.S. dollar operations. We may incur negative foreign currency conversion charges as a result of changes in currency exchange rates.
The remainder of our critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affecting the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies as of December 31, 2021.
A discussion of our critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affecting the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.
