BIONIK LABORATORIES CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three- and six- month periods ending September 30, 2022 and 2021
(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, 2022 filed with the SEC on June 9, 2022. 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 September 30, 2022, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022 was derived from audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending March 31, 2023 or any period thereafter.
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, 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 September 30, 2022 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.
Going Concern
At September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were
million. At September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1.2 million and at March 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of $3.1 million. At September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company has accumulated deficits of million and million, respectively. The Company has incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of million and million, respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of $2.5 million and million, respectively.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 overall growth strategy, and it is currently working on securing this funding through corporate collaborations, public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Sales of additional equity securities by the Company would result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, the Company would reduce its discretionary overhead costs substantially or otherwise curtail operations.
6
The Company is continuing its efforts 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 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. Business Combination
On September 7, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Dearman & Dearman PT LLC (“Dearman LLC”), a physical therapy practice, for a cash purchase price of $215,000. The Company intends to rebrand the newly acquired physical therapy clinic (“Tower Aquatic”) as a specialized neuro-recovery center which will showcase Bionik’s technology and solutions by providing treatment to patients with stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries, among its current service offerings.
The acquisition qualified for purchase accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, whereby the purchase price was provisionally allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date of September 7, 2022:

$ | 215,000 |
The Company incurred $28,000 of acquisition-related costs to complete the transaction including legal, valuation and closing fees. These expenses are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 as general and administrative operating expenses. The Relief from Royalty Method was relied upon to value the Trade Names and Trademarks. Because of the licensing appeal of this asset, the benefit of ownership as the “relief” from the royalty expense was estimated, that would be incurred in the absence of ownership. Unaudited proforma consolidated financial information for the acquisition have not been included as this acquisition is not significant.

5. Notes Payable & PPP Loans
Convertible Loan – Acquisition Loan
On September 2, 2022, the Company borrowed $250,000 (the “Acquisition Loan”) from an affiliate of Remi Gaston-Dreyfus, a director of the Company. The Acquisition Loan is evidenced by a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Acquisition Note”) and is further subject to a related Collateral Pledge Agreement. The Company used the proceeds from the Acquisition Loan to finance the acquisition of the assets of Dearman LLC and pay related costs and expenses. See Note 2, above. The Acquisition Note bears 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 two year anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”).
The Acquisition Note will be convertible into equity of the Company upon the following events on the following terms: (a) On the Acquisition Loan Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Acquisition Note will be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Acquisition Loan Maturity Date; and (b) Upon the consummation of the next equity or equity linked round of financing of the Company for cash proceeds (the “Qualified Financing”), the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Acquisition Note will be converted into the securities (or units of securities if more than one security are sold as a unit) issued by the Company in one or more tranches in the context of the Qualified Financing, based upon the issuance (or conversion) price of such securities.
Interest expense associated with the Acquisition Loan for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,417. There was no interest expense associated with the Acquisition Loan for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021.
Convertible Loan – Working Capital Loan
Between June 9, 2022, and June 10, 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “Working Capital Notes”) and borrowed an aggregate of $500,000 from an affiliate of Mr. Gaston-Dreyfus ($200,000); an affiliate of André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company ($100,000); and an existing investor and shareholder of the Company ($200,000). The Company used the net proceeds from the Working Capital Notes for the Company’s working capital and general corporate purposes. The Working Capital 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, in shares on the two-year anniversary of the issue date (the “Working Capital Loan Maturity Date”).
The Working Capital Notes will be convertible into equity of the Company upon the following events on the following terms: (a) On the Working Capital Loan Maturity Date without any action on the part of the Holders, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Working Capital Notes will be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Working Capital Loan Maturity Date and (b) upon the consummation of the next equity or equity linked round of financing of the Company for cash proceeds (the “Qualified Financing”), without any action on the part of the Holder, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Working Capital Notes will be converted into the securities (or units of securities if more than one security are sold as a unit) issued by the Company in one or more tranches in the context of the Qualified Financing, based upon the issuance (or conversion) price of such securities.
Interest expense associated with these loans for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 was $15,000 and $18,466, respectively. There was no interest expense associated with these loans for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021.

During the year ended March 31, 2022, 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 offered 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 then-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.
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 used the net cash proceeds from the 2021 Offering for the Company’s working capital requirements. The 2021 Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month, computed based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and would be payable, along with the principal amount, on the earlier of: (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.
On March 31, 2022 the 2021 Notes were converted into 946,194 shares of common stock of the Company in accordance with their terms.
There was no interest expense associated with the 2021 Notes for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense associated with the 2021 Notes for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.2 million.
Shareholder Loans
On March 23, 2020, the Company received a $2.0 million loan from an existing shareholder. The promissory note evidencing the loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month and had 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 was payable in cash commencing on June 30, 2021 for the previous quarter. Half of the interest accrued during the first three payment dates (3-month, 6-month and 9-month anniversaries of the issue date), was rolled into the term loan and security agreement as mentioned above. The remaining half of the interest accrued was to be paid upon the maturity date. As noted above, this debt was consolidated into the Company’s 2021 notes and this loan converted into shares of the common stock of the Company on March 31, 2022.
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 bore interest at a fixed rate of 1% per month. The principal amount and interest on the loan would 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. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has taken out $1.0 million against this term loan. As noted above, on July 15, 2021, this indebtedness was consolidated into the Company’s 2021 Notes, pursuant to which 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 options held by the debtholders.
There was no interest expense associated with these loans for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense associated with these loans for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 was $18,000 and $0.1 million, respectively.
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 had applied for forgiveness and as such forgiveness was granted in May 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP loan is recorded in the statement of operations as other income for the six months ended September 30, 2021.

Special Voting Preferred Share
In February 2015, the Company entered into a voting and exchange trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company issued one Special Voting Preferred Share to a Trustee, and the parties created a trust for the Trustee to hold the Special Voting Preferred Share for the benefit of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares of a subsidiary of the Company. The Special Voting Preferred Share entitles the Trustee to exercise the number of votes equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding on a one-for-one basis during the term of the Trust Agreement. The Special Voting Preferred Share is not entitled to receive any dividends or to receive any assets of the Company upon liquidation and is not convertible into shares of common stock of the Company. The voting rights of the Special Voting Preferred Share will terminate pursuant to and in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Special Voting Preferred Share will be automatically cancelled.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $55,000 and $20,000, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $0.1 million for both periods.
Bionik did not grant stock options during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
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.
11
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.
As of September 30, 2022 the total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options expected to vest was $0.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

9. Leases
The Company has an operating lease for the Tower Aquatic clinic. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent net present value of the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. As the Company’s operating lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating fixed lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In accordance with ASC 842, the Company records on its consolidated balance sheet leases with a term greater than 12 months. The Company has elected, in compliance with current accounting standards, not to record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less in the consolidated balance sheet. ASC 842 requires the separation of the fixed lease components from the variable lease components. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for separate lease components of a contract as a single lease cost thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Non-lease and variable cost components are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets or operating lease liabilities.
Operating lease cost and variable lease cost were $3,000 and $1,000, respectively for the both the three- and six-month periods ending September 30, 2022. There was no operating lease cost and variable lease cost for the three- and six-month period ending September 30, 2021.

The aggregate future lease payments for the Company’s operating lease of September 30, 2022 were as follows:

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Commitments
● | On February 25, 2015, 1,753 common shares were issued to two former lenders connected with a $0.2 million loan received and repaid during fiscal 2013.

11. 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.

Company Overview
Bionik Laboratories Corp. is a robotics company providing neurological functional recovery solutions to improve the quality of life of millions of people with functional or mobility impairments by combining artificial intelligence, innovative technology and data solutions to help individuals regain mobility, enhance autonomy, and regain self-esteem.
The Company uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to make rehabilitation methods and processes smarter and more intuitive to deliver greater recovery for patients with neurological or mobility impairments. These technologies allow large amounts of data to be collected and processed in real-time, enabling appropriately challenging and individualized therapy during every treatment session. This is the foundation of the InMotion therapy. The Company’s rehabilitation therapy robots are built on an artificial intelligence platform, measuring the position, the speed, and the acceleration of the patients’ arm 200 times per second. The artificial intelligence platform is designed to adapt in real time to the patient’s needs and progress while providing quantifiable feedback of a patient’s progress and performance, in a way that the Company believes a trained clinician cannot.
Based on this foundational work, the Company has a portfolio of products and solutions focused on upper extremity rehabilitation for stroke and other mobility-impaired individuals, including InMotion robots currently in the market. Additionally, our software platform, InMotion Connect, which is providing the ability for hospital management to access remotely to management dashboards presenting the utilization data of each of their InMotion robotic devices and their robotic devices productivity. Customized reporting capabilities in the platform focus on facility and organization measurement dashboards to support effective decision making for clinicians and for hospital management.
On September 7, 2022, the Company acquired Tower Aquatic, described further below, which is the first step in our planned national strategic rollout of rehabilitation clinics. The Company intends to rebrand the newly acquired physical therapy clinic as a specialized neuro-recovery center that will showcase and provide continued accessibility to Bionik’s technology and solutions by providing treatment to patients with stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries. The Company plans to acquire a network of neuro recovery centers which will enable us to provide more patients with access to Bionik’s InMotion systems.
Currently, we receive revenues from the sale of our InMotion robots to our customers both in the U.S. and internationally and the operation of our newly acquired rehabilitation center. We also record revenues associated with our extended warranties that customers will purchase with the sale of our InMotion robots as well as from the sale of the InMotion Connect hardware and the subscription fees associated with the utilization of the InMotion Connect Pulse solution in the U.S.
We currently sell our products directly or can introduce customers to a third-party finance company to lease at a monthly fee over the term or other fee structure for our products to hospitals, clinics, distribution companies and/or buying groups that supply those rehabilitation facilities.
Our strategic business focus is on the following key areas:
● | Continuing to expand our distribution channels and commercial footprint in the United States and internationally with an increase in sales and marketing initiatives; |
● | Continue to improve our data strategy and enhance our InMotion Connect software with solutions that serve clinical rehabilitation providers and their patients; |
● | Continue to seek out opportunities to enhance our product offering and potentially introduce new technologies; and |
● | Continue to seek out and acquire rehabilitation centers to showcase the Company’s technology and solutions with the goal of building a network of Bionik branded neuro recovery centers which is the catalyst to our data gathering. |
15
We believe our business provides a platform for growth. We continue to make investments in our enhancements of our existing products and the future development of new products.
We currently hold an intellectual property portfolio that includes 5 issued U.S. patents and 3 U.S. pending patent applications, as well as other patents under development. We may file provisional patent applications from time to time, and may, where deemed advisable pursue non-provisional patent applications within 12 months of the filing date of such provisional patent applications. Additionally, we hold exclusive licenses to three additional patents.
Business Developments
In December 2018, we entered into a Sale of Goods Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CHC Management Services, LLC, or Kindred, pursuant to which, among other things, Kindred agreed to purchase from us in a first phase a minimum of 21 of the Company’s InMotion ARM Interactive Therapy Systems – a minimum of one for each of Kindred’s existing and soon-to-open affiliated inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and similar facilities described in the Agreement, and in a second phase a minimum of one InMotion ARM Interactive Therapy System for each similar future facility of Kindred, during the four-year minimum term of the Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, 30 InMotion robots have been sold in total to Kindred.
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. We continue 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 permit.
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. All of these convertible notes were converted on March 31, 2022, into 946,194 shares of our common stock.
Between June 9, 2022, and June 10, 2022, we issued convertible promissory notes and borrowed an aggregate of $500,000 from an affiliate of Remi Gaston-Dreyfus, a director ($200,000); an affiliate of André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, the Chairman of the Board of Directors ($100,000); and an existing investor and shareholder ($200,000).
On September 7, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Dearman & Dearman PT LLC (which is doing business as Tower Aquatic & Sports Physical Therapy), a physical therapy practice, for a cash purchase price of $215,000. In relation to such acquisition, on September 2, 2022, we issued a convertible promissory note and borrowed an aggregate of $250,000 from an affiliate of Mr. Gaston-Dreyfus to finance the acquisition of such assets and pay related costs and expenses.
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 adversely affected our ability to generate revenues dating back to the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. As a result, we took steps to address the decrease in revenue, including the following:
● | 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. |
16
● | Our Canada operations secured $84,000 of government financial relief under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS), which is available monthly until June 2021, which was used to return the salaries of many of our Canadian non-management employees back to their full amount. |
● | The Company has reduced working on its research and development projects to focus on the further enhancements of InMotion ConnectTM, to provide the ability for hospital management to access remotely to management dashboards presenting the utilization data of each of their InMotion robotic devices and their InMotion robotic devices productivity, as well as the artificial intelligence and machine learning analysis based on the data collected by InMotion Connect. |
The global outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 may continue to impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants, travel restrictions and social distancing in the U.S. and other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

The change in total revenues was attributable to the following factors:
● | Product revenue increased by $0.2 million due to an increase in the number of units shipped. In the 2022 period, three units were shipped as direct sales as compared to two sales in the 2021 period, both of which were through our distributor model. |
● | Subscription revenue grew by $6,000, or 10%, as we had more subscriptions in the 2022 period as compared to the 2021 period. |
● | Our service, extended warranty and other revenues increased primarily due to more units under warranty and revenue from our clinic in the current period. |

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 September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $0.4 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are predominantly cash in operating accounts.
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, additional purchases of physical therapy clinics to expand our base of specialized neuro-recovery centers, 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, services, business initiatives or our operations.

Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and resulted primarily from $2.5 million in net loss offset by $0.2 million in depreciation, interest expense and stock-based compensation expense for the period. Net changes in working capital items increased cash from operating activities by approximately $0.2 million, primarily related to an increase in accounts receivable which was offset by an increase in accrued expenses and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. Net cash used in investing activities for the 2022 period was $0.2 million related to the Tower Aquatic clinic purchase. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.8 million, related to proceeds received from the convertible promissory notes.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021, and resulted primarily from $1.7 million in net loss and $0.5 million relating to the extinguishment of the PPP loan offset by approximately $0.5 million in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and stock-based compensation expense for the period. Net changes in working capital items increased cash from operating activities by approximately $0.3 million, primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable due to cash collection efforts. There was no net cash used in or provided by investing activities for the 2021 period. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2021 was $5.5 million, related to proceeds received from the 2021 notes and term loan.
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, 2022. 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.

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 our 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, 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.
