Management Commentary

Commenting on the quarter, Eric Dusseux, M.D., BIONIK’s Chief Executive
Officer, said, “We continued on an upward sales trajectory during the
fiscal third quarter and are very pleased with the direction BIONIK is
taking. The quarter was highlighted by important achievements that bode
well for continued business success. We sold nine InMotion systems
during the quarter, compared with seven in the second quarter and five
in the first quarter. These results are indicative of our superior
product offering, improved operational effectiveness and demonstrate the
ultimate value we provide to clinical providers and their patients.

“The signing of a multi-year, multi-site agreement with Kindred Hospital
Rehabilitation Services was a watershed event for us. Kindred is a very
large healthcare system with more than $3 billion in annual revenues.
Among its nearly 2,000 locations in the U.S., there are 22 inpatient
rehabilitation hospitals (stand alone), 98 inpatient rehabilitation
units (hospital-based) and contract rehabilitation service businesses
that served 1,689 non-affiliated sites of service. We began installing
InMotion robots in December and will continue installations at the
inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and potentially other rehabilitation
facilities over the next four years. We hope that Kindred will be the
first of many such large contracts we secure.

“Last month we launched our newest generation InMotion ARM/HAND™ robotic
system at the American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections
Meeting in Washington, D.C.,” Dr. Dusseux added. “This next-generation
system offers enhanced functionality to support clinical rehabilitation
of stroke survivors and those with mobility impairments due to
neurological conditions by further addressing hand related mobility
issues, and we are very pleased with the reception we received at our
booth.”

BIONIK continues to expect to achieve the following milestones during
the remainder of fiscal year 2019:

• Continue to expand sales channels in North America and abroad.
• Further develop InMotion robotic products to serve clinical
  rehabilitation providers and to provide home based solutions for
  extended rehabilitation therapy and mobility enhancement.
• Enhance the effectiveness of our commercial outsourced manufacturing
  to support the expected increase in product demand and introduction of
  new products.
• Increase sales of service contracts and warranties.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were $930,257, compared
with $260,960 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The increase
reflects the sale of nine InMotion robots during the third quarter of
fiscal 2019, compared with three robots in the prior-year quarter. In
addition, deferred revenue, comprised of training to be provided and
extended warranties, increased to $285,140 at December 31, 2018 from
$122,667 at March 31, 2018. Extended warranties and training are
important and growing parts of the Company’s business.

Gross margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 was
$479,953 and $891,135 or 51.6% and 45.0% compared to $172,603 and
$392,845 or 66.1% and 68.9% for the three and nine months ended December
31, 2017. The high gross margin percentages reported for the periods in
the previous fiscal year are due to the cost of the units only including
direct material costs required for those specific shipments. The third
quarter gross margin of 51.6% on sales of nine units is significantly
higher than the 29.7% on sales of seven units in the second quarter of
this fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. The third quarter gross
margin was reduced by 5.1% due to a $47,772 write-off of obsolete
inventory for prior versions of the company’s robots.

The Company reported a comprehensive loss for the quarter ended December
31, 2018 of $(2,384,163), or a loss per share of $(0.91), compared with
a comprehensive loss of $(2,580,759), or a loss per share of $(3.80),
for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The lower loss is principally
due to other expenses of $270,453 that decreased due to less interest
expense for loans in the current period.

BIONIK had cash and cash equivalents of $375,133 as of December 31,
2018, compared with $507,311 as of March 31, 2018. The Company’s working
capital deficit was $(2,236,228) as of December 31, 2018, compared with
a deficit of $(6,711,941) as of March 31, 2018. The working capital
deficit at March 31, 2018 was related to the reclassification of
unissued shares, options and warrants at fair value due to insufficient
number of authorized shares totalling $5,692,853. The decrease in net
working capital deficit is due to the reversal of this liability
subsequent to March 31, 2018 as well as the increased receivables and
investment in manufacturing inventory at December 31, 2018.
