ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer, or CEO, and our Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations (our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, respectively), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2020. Based on the aforementioned evaluation, our management
has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2020.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting has been designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting
includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America,
and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting on December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework, in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework . Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal
control over financial reporting was effective.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation
report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption
for emerging growth companies provided in the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Plans
We have two equity incentive plans, the 2015 Employee Stock
Option Plan, or the 2015 Plan, and the Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan. In October
2019, in connection with the Business Combination, we assumed the 2015 Plan with respect to each outstanding equity award thereunder.
Although no shares of our Common Stock are available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan, the 2015 Plan will continue to govern
outstanding awards granted thereunder. As of December 31, 2020, options to purchase 2,714,066 shares of our Common Stock remained
outstanding under the 2015 Plan.
The 2019 Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors and approved by our stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2020, there were
60,041 shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock
available for issuance pursuant to the 2019 Plan automatically increases on January 1 of each year, for a period of not more than
ten years, commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to 4% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Accordingly, on January 1, 2021, 930,813

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of BiomX Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of BiomX Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive
loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and
the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board’s new standard related to leases using the modified retrospective approach.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are
a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks
of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

GENERAL
A.
General information:
BiomX Inc. (formerly known as Chardan Healthcare
Acquisition Corp., individually prior to the Recapitalization Transaction (as defined below), and together with its subsidiaries,
BiomX Ltd. and RondinX Ltd. after the Recapitalization Transaction, the “Company” or “BiomX”) was incorporated
as a blank check company on November 1, 2017, under the laws of the state of Delaware, for the purpose of entering into a merger,
stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or
more businesses or entities.
On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into a merger
agreement with BiomX Ltd. (“BiomX Israel”), a company incorporated under the laws of Israel, CHAC Merger Sub Ltd.
(“Merger Sub”) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as amended on October 11, 2019, pursuant to which, among
other things, BiomX Israel merged with Merger Sub, with BiomX Israel being the surviving entity in accordance with the Israeli
Companies Law, 5759-1999, as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of BiomX Inc.
On October 28, 2019, the Company consummated the
acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of BiomX Israel (the “Recapitalization Transaction”). Pursuant to the
aforementioned merger agreement, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of BiomX Israel, the Company issued to the shareholders
of BiomX Israel a total of 15,069,058 shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing approximately 65% of the total shares
issued and outstanding after giving effect to the Recapitalization Transaction. As a result of the Recapitalization Transaction,
BiomX Israel became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As the shareholders of BiomX Israel received the largest ownership
interest in the Company, BiomX Israel was determined to be the “accounting acquirer” in the Recapitalization Transaction.
As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were replaced with the financial statement of BiomX Israel for
all periods presented.
Following the Recapitalization Transaction, the
Company retained $60,100 held in a trust account, after redemptions of shares held by certain shareholders in connection with
the initial public offering of Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (refer to Note 12A).
The number of shares and instruments convertible
into shares included within these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted based on the equivalent number of shares
received by the accounting acquirer in the Recapitalization Transaction.
On October 28, 2019, the Company was renamed BiomX
Inc. and the Company’s shares of Common Stock, units, and warrants began trading on the NYSE American under the symbols
PHGE, PHGE.U, and PHGE.WS, respectively.
On February 6, 2020, the Company’s Common
Stock also began trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
B.
Risk factors:
To date, the Company has not generated revenue from
its operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of approximately
$37,239 and short-term deposits of approximately $19,851, which management believes is sufficient to fund its operations for more
than 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and sufficient to fund its operations
necessary to continue development activities of its current proposed products.

B.
Risk factors: (cont.)
Consistent with its continuing research and development
activities, the Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. The Company plans to continue
to fund its current operations, as well as other development activities relating to additional product candidates, through future
issuances of debt and/or equity securities and possibly additional grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”)
and other government institutions. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets is dependent
on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market demand for the Company’s Common Stock, which itself is
subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be
able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to it.
NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the financial statements on a consistent basis, are as follows, except for the adoption of new accounting standards:
A.
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BiomX Israel and RondinX Ltd. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
B.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial
statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reported years.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
D.
Functional currency and foreign currency
translation:
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S.
dollar (“dollar”) since the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company has operated
and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future.
Transactions and balances denominated in dollars
are presented at their original amounts.
Transactions and balances denominated in foreign
currencies have been re-measured to dollars in accordance with the provisions of ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters.”
All transaction gains and losses from remeasurement
of monetary balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income
or expenses, as appropriate.
E.
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments,
including unrestricted short-term bank deposits purchased with original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

F.
Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments which potentially subject
us to credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits. These amounts at times may exceed federally
insured limits. We have not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant
credit risk on these funds.
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts (mainly
option and forward contracts) to hedge cash flows from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated
as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, the Company recognizes gains
or losses that offset the revaluation of the cash flows also recorded under financial expenses (income), net in the consolidated
statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts in the amount of approximately
$1,555. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.
G.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are presented at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets or terms of the related leases, as follows:
Estimated
Useful Lives
Laboratory equipment
7 years
Computers and software
3 years
Equipment and furniture
15 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of lease
term or useful life
In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Impairment
and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If so
indicated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment expenses were recorded.
H.
Intangible assets:
Intangible research and development assets acquired
in a business combination are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounted for as indefinite-lived
intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed
for impairment at least annually or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
I.
Income taxes:
The Company provides for income taxes using the
asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than
not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a full valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets.

I.
Income taxes: (cont.)
The Company is subject to the provisions of ASC
740-10-25, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a more likely-than-not threshold for the financial
statement recognition of uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. On a yearly basis, the Company undergoes a process to evaluate whether income tax accruals are in
accordance with ASC 740 guidance on uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions
for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
J.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company accounts for financial instruments in
accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described
below:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices in non-active markets
or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, observable inputs other than quoted prices, and inputs that are not directly
observable but are corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require
inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
There were no changes in the fair value hierarchy
levelling during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

K.
Defined contribution plans:
Under Israeli employment laws, employees of BiomX
Israel are included under Section 14 of the Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (“Section 14”) for a portion of their
salaries. Pursuant to Section 14, these employees are entitled to monthly deposits made by the Company on their behalf with insurance
companies.
Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the
Company from any future severance payments (under the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963) with respect of those employees.
The aforementioned deposits are not recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet, and there is no liability recorded
as the Company does not have a future obligation to make any additional payments. The Company’s contributions to the defined
contribution plans are charged to the consolidated statements of operations as and when the services are received from the Company’s
employees. Total expenses with respect to these contributions were $567 and $381 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
For U.S. employees the Company has a defined contribution
savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees of BiomX Inc in the
U.S. who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a
pre-tax basis.
The Company has not elected to match any of the
employee’s deferral. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company did not record any expenses for 401(k)
match contributions.
L.
Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are charged to statements
of operations as incurred. Royalty-bearing grants from the IIA are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants,
on the basis of the costs incurred and applied as a deduction from research and development expenses.

M.
Basic and diluted loss per share:
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year, plus the number of
shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock had been issued, using
the treasury stock method, in accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share.” Potentially dilutive shares of Common
Stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for all periods presented due to their anti-dilutive effect
due to losses in each period.
N.
Stock compensation plans:
The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Stock-Based
Payment,” (“ASC 718-10”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all stock-based
payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans based on
estimated fair values.
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair
value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized
as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of operations. The Company recognizes stock-based
award forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate by applying a forfeiture rate.
All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments
to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the
equity instruments issued.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for
the fair value of non-employee awards over the requisite service period of each award.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation
(Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Stock-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee
stock-based payment transactions by aligning the measurement and classification guidance, with certain exceptions, to that for
stock-based payment awards to employees. The amendments expand the scope of the accounting standard for stock-based payment awards
to include stock-based payment awards granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s
own operations and supersedes the guidance related to equity-based payments to non-employees. The Company adopted these amendments
on January 1, 2019. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.

N.
Stock compensation plans: (cont.)
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options
granted as equity awards using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions,
of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date
until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on volatility of similar companies in the technology
sector. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest
rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated
for options granted to employees and directors using the “simplified” method. Grants to non-employees are based on
the contractual term. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the options granted and
the results of operations of the Company.
O.
Leases:
ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” was
issued by the FASB in February 2016. The Company adopted this ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective
application, applying the new standard to leases in place as of the adoption date. Prior periods have not been adjusted. Leases
existing for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASU 2016-02.
Arrangements that are determined to be leases at
inception are recognized as long-term operating lease assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at lease
commencement. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease
term at commencement date. As the rates implicit in the Company’s leases are not reasonably determinable, the Company applies
its incremental borrowing rate based on the economic environment at the commencement date in determining the present value of
future lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise
that option. Lease expenses for operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected to adopt a package of practical expedients
under Topic 842 which removes the requirement to reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases and removes the
requirement to reassess the lease classification for any existing leases prior to the adoption date of January 1, 2019. Additionally,
the Company has made a policy election not to capitalize leases with a term of 12 months or less.
In accordance with ASC 360-10, management reviews
operating lease assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If so indicated, an impairment loss would be recognized
for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.
P.
Recent Accounting Standards:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses,” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases
that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU No. 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology
with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023,
with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on
its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Standards: (Cont.)
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes
to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,” which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements
for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements
and was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18 ,“Collaborative
Arrangements (Topic 808),” which clarifies the interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers.” The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 had no material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is
intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions
to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This
guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2019-12
had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SHORT-TERM DEPOSITS
Short-term deposits represent time deposits placed

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had deposits
at Leumi Bank (Israel) and BHI USA that bore fixed annual interest between 0.51% and 1.58%. As of December 31, 2019, the Company

ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
In November, 2017, BiomX Israel signed a share purchase
agreement with the shareholders of RondinX Ltd. In accordance with the share purchase agreement, BiomX Israel acquired 100% control
and ownership of RondinX Ltd. for consideration valued at $4,500. The consideration included the issuance of 250,023 Preferred
A Shares, the issuance of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,380 Series A-1 preferred shares, and additional contingent consideration.
The contingent consideration is based on the attainment of future clinical, developmental, regulatory, commercial and strategic
milestones relating to product candidates for treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis or entry into qualifying collaboration
agreements with certain third parties and may require the Company to issue 567,729 shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of
certain milestones, as well as make future cash payments and/or issue additional shares of the most senior class of the Company’s
shares of Common Stock authorized or outstanding as of the time the payment is due, or a combination of both of up to $32,000 of
the Company within ten years from the closing of the agreement and/or the entering of agreements with certain third parties or
their affiliates that include a qualifying up-front fee and is entered into within three years from the closing of the agreement.
The Company has the discretion of determining whether milestone payments will be made in cash or by issuance of shares of Common
Stock.
The contingent consideration is accounted for at
fair value (level 3). There were no changes in the fair value hierarchy levelling during the years ended December 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2019.
The consolidated financial statements as of December

LEASES
In May 2017, BiomX Israel entered into a lease agreement
for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement is for five years beginning on June 1, 2017 with an option to extend for
an additional five years. Monthly lease payments under the agreement are approximately $18. As a part of the agreement, the Company
provided a bank guarantee to the landlord in the amount of approximately $95 representing four monthly lease payments. As of December
31, 2020, the bank guarantee expired and was not renewed. Lease expenses recorded in the consolidated statements of operations
were $217 and $201 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In September 2019, BiomX Israel entered into an additional
lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement is for five years beginning on September 8, 2019 with an
option to extend for an additional three years. The option was not accounted for as part of the lease, given its low probability
of being exercised. Monthly lease payments under the agreement are approximately $12. As a part of the agreement, the Company provided
a bank guarantee to the landlord in the amount of approximately $63 representing four monthly lease and related payments. Lease
expenses recorded in the consolidated statements of operations were $141 and $18 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019,
respectively.
In September 2020, BiomX Israel entered into a third
lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel for five years beginning on September 1, 2020, with an option to extend
for an additional period until November 30, 2030. This agreement supersedes the abovementioned May 2017 and September 2019 lease

BiomX Israel entered into loan agreements with
certain shareholders who were subject to taxation in Israel in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction. The loans
are for a period of up to two years from the time of the grant, are non-recourse, and are secured by shares of Common Stock
issued to them with a value that equals three times the loan amount at the time of the grant. If any of such shareholders
defaults on such loan, the Company will have the right to forfeit or sell such number of shares with a value equal to the
amount of the loan not timely repaid (plus interest accrued thereon), based on their market price at the time of such forfeiture
or sale. As of December 31, 2020, one loan was granted in the amount of $19, and the aggregate amount of the remaining potential
commitment as of December 31, 2020 is $89. All other shareholders waived their right to the loans. The number of shares of
Common Stock in respect of which the $19 loan was granted was 5,700. The granting of the loan and the restrictions imposed
on the related Common Stock until repayment of the loan were accounted as an acquisition of treasury stock by the Company
at an amount equal to the loan.

Equity Incentive Plan:
In 2015, the Board of Directors of BiomX Israel approved
a plan for the allocation of options to employees, service providers, and officers (the “2015 Plan”). The options represented
a right to purchase one Ordinary Share of the BiomX Israel in consideration of the payment of an exercise price. Also, the options
were granted in accordance with the “capital gains route” under section 102 and section 3(i) of the Israeli Income
Tax Ordinance and section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
The 2015 plan was adjusted following the Recapitalization
Transaction on October 28, 2019 such that each outstanding option entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock of
the Company. As a result, the number of options and exercise price per share were adjusted in a technical manner such that there
was no change in the fair value of the awards under the adjusted 2015 Plan. The number of outstanding options and exercise prices
in this Note have been restated to reflect the adjusted 2015 Plan.
As of December 31, 2020, there are no shares of
Common Stock remaining for issuance under the 2015 Plan.
In 2019, the Company adopted a new incentive plan
(the “2019 Plan”) to grant 1,000 options, exercisable for Common Stock.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
may be delivered pursuant to the 2019 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2020
and ending on (and including) January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act
prior to January 1 of a given year to provide that there will be no January 1 increase for such year or that the increase for
such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than provided herein.
As of December 31, 2020, there were 60,041 shares
of Common Stock remaining for issuance under the 2019 plan. On January 1, 2021, the number of shares of Common Stock available
to grant under the 2019 Plan was increased by 930,813.
Stock Options:
During 2019, the Board approved the grant of 704,669
options to 22 employees and 79,630 options to two consultants, without consideration. 527,716 of the options granted are to the
executive officers of the Company. These options were granted under the 2015 Plan.
During 2019, 74,581 of these options were exercised
to purchase shares of Common Stock at an average exercise price of $1.34 per share.

In May 2017, in accordance with
the 2017 License Agreement (see also Note 11C), the Company issued to Yeda, 591,382 warrants to purchase Common Stock
at $0.0001 nominal value, for nominal consideration. Yeda has the option to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis.
In 2020, the 2017 License Agreement was terminated.
For the year ended December 31,
2020, the Company recorded expense of $233. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded income of $241.
Expenses and income are included in R&D expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations. See note 18B regarding
the exercise of warrants.
236,552 warrants were fully vested and exercisable
on the date of their issuance. The remainder of the warrants will vest and become exercisable subject to achievement of certain
milestones specified in the agreement as follows:
a.
177,414 upon the filing of a patent application
covering any Discovered Target or a Product (both as defined in the 2017 License Agreement). In 2020 the warrants were cancelled
following termination of the 2017 License Agreement,
b.
118,277 upon achievement of the earlier of the
following milestone by the Company:

Target (as defined in the 2017 License Agreement) or a Product.
In the case of termination of the 2017 License Agreement
after the second anniversary thereof, and provided that none of the aforementioned milestones has been attained prior
to such termination, the warrants will vest upon such termination.
As of December 31, 2020, 118,277 warrants were vested
as the 2017 License Agreement was terminated after the second anniversary with no milestone have been attained.
c.
59,139 upon completion of a Phase 1 clinical
trial in respect of a Product (as defined in the 2017 License Agreement). In 2020 the warrants were cancelled following the
termination of the 2017 License Agreement.
2.
In November 2017, BiomX Israel issued 7,615
warrants to Yeda and 2,974 warrants to its founders. All the warrants were fully vested at their grant date and will expire
immediately prior to a consummation of an M&A transaction. The warrants did not expire as a result of the Recapitalization
Transaction and have no exercise price. No compensation expenses were recorded in the financial statements during 2020 and
2019.
3.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical
to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for
cash (even if a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not
effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by the Company, in each case,
so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held
by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable
by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Company filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 for the resale of shares underlying the warrants on December 13, 2019, which was declared effective
on January 3, 2020. Such Registration Statement was converted to Form S-3 in December 2020.
4.
The Public Warrants became exercisable upon the closing
of the Recapitalization Transaction. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. Therefore,
Public Warrants must be exercised in multiples of two warrants. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion
of the Recapitalization Transaction or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company filed a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 for the resale of shares underlying the warrants on December 13, 2019, which was declared effective on January
3, 2020. Such Registration Statement was converted to Form S-3 in December 2020.

The Company
may redeem the Public Warrants:
●
in whole and not in part;
●
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
●
at any time during the exercise period;
●
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written
notice of redemption;
●
if, and only if, the last sale price of the
Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending
on the third business day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
●
if, and only if, there is a current registration
statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for
the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If the Company calls the
Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants
to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock
dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance
of Common Stock at a price below their exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle
the warrants.

INCOME TAXES
A.
The Company files income tax returns in the
U.S. federal jurisdiction and in state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities.
The Company’s income tax returns since inception remain open and subject to examination. The statutory U.S. federal
income tax rate is 21%. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had total net operating losses in the U.S of approximately $3,425,
which may be carried forward and offset against taxable
income in the future.
B.
BiomX Ltd. And RondinX Ltd. file income tax
returns in Israel. Their income tax returns since inception remain open and subject to examination. The statutory Israeli
income tax rate is 23%.
C.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, BiomX Israel
had total net operating losses in Israel of approximately $62,927 and $25,883, respectively, which may be carried forward
and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
D.
The Company has evaluated the positive and negative
evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company’s history
of cumulative net losses incurred since inception and its lack of commercialization of any products or generation of any revenue
from product sales since inception and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the
benefits of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax
assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.
F.
The Company’s policy is to record estimated
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company has no amounts recorded for any
unrecognized tax positions, accrued interest or penalties as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
