F- 6 BIOMX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (USD in thousands, except share and per share data) NOTE 1 – GENERAL General information BiomX Inc. (formerly known as Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp., individually prior to BiomX Inc.’s acquisition of 100 % of the outstanding shares of BiomX Israel Ltd. (the “Recapitalization Transaction”, “BiomX Israel” respectively), 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, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. 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. To date, the Company has not generated revenue from its operations. Based on the Company’s current cash and commitments, management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents are 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. 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, loans 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. See note 7 for further information. F- 7 BIOMX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (USD in thousands, except share and per share data) NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for condensed financial information. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, that the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Committee (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021. B. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. C. 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. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. The Company examined the impact of COVID-19 on its financial statements, and although there is currently no major impact, there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. D. Recent Accounting Standards In May 2021, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” (“ASU 2021-04”). The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “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.” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability 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 net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. F- 8 BIOMX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (USD in thousands, except share and per share data) NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) E. Derivative Activity 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $ 2,787 with a fair value of $ 20 . As of December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $ 1,555 with a fair value of $ 90 . F. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk. Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows: 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 period ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020. F- 9 BIOMX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (USD in thousands, except share and per share data) NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: September 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds 30,007 - - 30,007 Foreign exchange contracts receivable - 20 - 20 30,007 20 - 30,027 Liabilities: Contingent consideration (*) - - 180 180 - - 180 180 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds 30,000 - - 30,000 Foreign exchange contracts receivable - 90 - 90 30,000 90 - 30,090 Liabilities: Contingent consideration (*) - - 83 83 - - 83 83 Financial instruments with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, other current assets, trade accounts payable and other current liabilities, due to their short-term nature. (*) Changes in contingent consideration for the nine months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020 resulted from revaluation. The Company determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on several factors, such as: the attainment of future clinical, developmental, regulatory, commercial and strategic milestones relating to product candidates for treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis. The discount rate applied ranged from 0.37 % to 0.98 %. The contingent consideration is evaluated quarterly, or more frequently, if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in condensed consolidated statements of operations. Significant changes in unobservable inputs, mainly the probability of success and cash flows projected, could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liabilities. F- 10 BIOMX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (USD in thousands, except share and per share data) NOTE 4 – LONG-TERM DEBT On August 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), with respect to a venture debt facility. Under the Loan Agreement, Hercules provided the Company with access to a term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 30,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”), available in three tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions. The first tranche of $ 15,000 was advanced to the Company on the date the Loan Agreement was executed. Upon the occurrence of specified milestones and continuing through December 31, 2022, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 10.0 million, or the second tranche, and upon the occurrence of specified milestones and continuing through September 30, 2023, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 5.0 million, or the third tranche, may become available. The milestones for the remaining tranches have not yet been reached as of September 30, 2021. The Company is required to make interest only payments through March 1, 2023, or extended to September 1, 2023 upon satisfaction of certain milestones, and is required to then repay the principal balance and interest in equal monthly installments through September 1, 2025. The Company may prepay advances under the Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time subject to a prepayment charge equal to: (a) 3.0 % of amounts prepaid, if such prepayment occurs during the first 12 months following the Closing Date; (b) 2.0% after 12 months but prior to 24 months; (c) 1.0% after 24 months but prior to 36 months, and (d) no charge after 36 months. Upon prepayment or repayment of all or any of the term loans under the Term Loan Facility, the Company is required to pay an end of term charge (“End of Term Charge”) equal to 6.55% of the total aggregate amount of the term loans being prepaid or repaid. Interest on the term loan accrues at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 5.70% and (ii) 8.95%. On September 30, 2021, the Prime Rate was 3.25%. Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method and is inclusive of non-cash amortization of capitalized loan issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of liabilities. Amounts allocated to the debt, net of issuance cost, are subsequently recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method. On September 30, 2021, the effective interest rate was 13.51%. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the term loan consists of $ 15,000 principal outstanding less the debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $ 775 . The End of Term Charge of $ 983 is recognized over the life of the term loan as interest expense using the effective interest method. The debt issuance costs have been recorded as a debt discount which are being accreted to interest expense through the maturity date of the term loan. Interest expense relating to the term loan, which is included in interest expense in the condensed statements of operations was $ 172 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company granted first priority liens and security interests in substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property as collateral for the obligations thereunder. The Company also granted Hercules the right, at their discretion, to participate in any closing of any single subsequent broadly marketed financing as defined up to a maximum aggregate amount of $ 2,000 under the terms as afforded to other investors in such financing. The Loan Agreement also contains representations and warranties by the Company and Hercules, indemnification provisions in favor of Hercules and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a liquidity covenant beginning October 1, 2022, requiring the Company to maintain a minimum aggregate compensating cash balance of $ 5,000 , and events of default, including a material adverse change in the Company’s business, payment defaults, breaches of covenants following any applicable cure period, and a material impairment in the perfection or priority of Hercules’ security interest in the collateral. In the event of default by the Company under the Loan Agreement, the Company may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the Loan Agreement. Future principal payments for the long-term debt are as follows: September 30, 2021 2021 (for the remaining 3 months) - 2022 - 2023 4,458 2024 5,804 2025 4,738 Total principal payments 15,000 Unamortized discount and debt issuance costs ( 775 ) Long-term debt 14,225 F- 12 BIOMX INC.

The right of first offer will commence following the availability of results from the Phase 1/2 study expected in 2022. B. On October 18, 2021, the Company announced the results of a Phase 2 cosmetic clinical study of BX001. The study was a 12-week randomized, single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 140 women with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. No meaningful difference was demonstrated for BX001 relative to placebo. The Company has decided not to continue pursuing this program. F- 16 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations References in this Quarterly Report to “the Company”, “BiomX”, “we”, “us” or “our”, mean BiomX Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise expressly stated or the context indicates otherwise. References in this Quarterly Report to “BiomX Ltd.” mean BiomX Ltd., our wholly owned Israeli subsidiary. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. General We are a clinical company developing products using both natural and engineered phage technologies designed to target and destroy bacteria that affect the appearance of skin, as well as harmful bacteria in chronic diseases, such as Cystic Fibrosis, or CF, Atopic Dermatitis, or AD, inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or PSC, and colorectal cancer, or CRC. Bacteriophage or phage are viruses that target bacteria and are considered inert to mammalian cells. By developing proprietary combinations of naturally occurring phage and by creating novel phage using synthetic biology, we develop phage-based therapies intended to address large-market and orphan diseases. Since inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all our resources to organizing and staffing the company, raising capital, acquiring rights to or discovering product candidates, developing our technology platforms, securing related intellectual property rights, and conducting discovery, research and development activities for our product candidates. We do not have any products approved for sale, our products are still in the preclinical and clinical development stages, and we have not generated any revenue from product sales. As we move our product candidates from preclinical to clinical stage and continue with clinical trials, we expect our expenses to increase. Our phage-based product candidates are developed utilizing our proprietary research and development platform named BOLT. The BOLT platform is unique, employing cutting edge methodologies and capabilities across disciplines including computational biology, microbiology, synthetic engineering of phage and their production bacterial hosts, bioanalytical assay development, manufacturing and formulation, to allow agile and efficient development of natural or engineered phage combinations, or cocktails. BOLT is designed to allow parallel phage cocktail development under two optional paths: ● A personalized approach aimed at conducting a rapid initial clinical proof of concept study in patients (Phase 2 results) within approximately 12-18 months of project initiation. In certain indications the time to clinical proof of concept may be longer depending on the indication, identity of target bacteria, recruitment rate, cohort size and other factors. Under this path we develop an initial phage cocktail or cocktails of naturally-occurring phage designed to target the bacterial strains isolated from each study subject participating in the clinical proof of concept study. This phage cocktail or cocktails may differ from the final optimized phage cocktail to be commercialized, if approved. The ability to move quickly into clinical development is also driven by the strong safety profile of naturally-occurring phage, which we believe will allow us to bypass GLP toxicity studies and safety studies in healthy volunteers based on feedback from the FDA in connection with our IBD development program, and to proceed directly to Phase 2 proof of concept. 2 ● Development of the final optimized fixed phage cocktail to be commercialized – the optimized cocktail targets a broad patient population and may be comprised of naturally-occurring or synthetically engineered phage. The cocktail contains phage with complementary features and is further optimized for multiple characteristics such as broad target host range, ability to prevent resistance, biofilm penetration, stability and ease of manufacturing. Development of the optimized phage cocktail is anticipated to require 1-2 years and will be conducted in parallel to developing the personalized product candidates and executing the clinical proof of concept studies described above. On November 15, 2021, we announced that we plan to focus on CF and AD programs in 2022 and to temporarily pause the development efforts in IBD and CRC for approximately one year, as neither program was expected to yield proof-of-concept data in patients over the next twelve months. In addition, we decided not to continue to pursue the development plan of our BX001 product candidate, that was developed to treat acne. Clinical and Pre-Clinical Developments Cystic Fibrosis On March 31, 2021, we announced the selection of the phage cocktail for BX004, our therapeutic phage product candidate under development for chronic respiratory infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or P. aeruginosa, a main contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with CF. Based on recommendations from the Cystic Fibrosis Therapeutic Development Network, we updated our Phase 2 proof-of-concept study design and timelines to a Phase 1b/2a trial in CF patients with chronic respiratory infections caused by P. aeruginosa. The Phase 1b/2a trial will be comprised of two parts. Part 1 will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and microbiologic/clinical activity of BX004 in eight CF patients in a single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose design. Results from Part 1 are expected in the second quarter of 2022. Part 2 of the Phase 1b/2a trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of BX004 in 24 CF patients randomized to a treatment or placebo cohort in a 2:1 ratio. Results from Part 2 are expected by the third quarter of 2022. In September 2021, BX004 was cleared by the FDA to initiate the Phase 1b/2a trial in CF patients with chronic respiratory infections caused by P. aeruginosa . Atopic Dermatitis On March 31, 2021, we announced the selection of the phage cocktail for BX005, our topical phage product candidate targeting Staphylococcus aureus , or S. aureus , a bacterium associated with the development and exacerbation of inflammation in atopic dermatitis. By reducing S. aureus burden, BX005 is designed to shift the skin microbiome composition to its “pre-flare” state to potentially result in clinical improvement. Results from a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of BX005 in atopic dermatitis patients are expected in the third quarter of 2022. Acne On October 18, 2021, we announced the results of a Phase 2 cosmetic clinical study of BX001. The study was a 12-week randomized, single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 140 women with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. Subjects were randomized into two cohorts: BX001 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio and self-administered BX001 or placebo twice daily. Key endpoints from the study evaluated the safety, tolerability and efficacy of BX001. BX001 was demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated with no treatment-related adverse events. A statistically significant improvement from baseline was observed in appearance of acne-prone skin but no meaningful difference was demonstrated relative to the placebo arm of the Study. Significant improvements in the appearance of acne prone skin, as assessed by reduction in inflammatory lesion counts (48.3%, p<0.0001), non-inflammatory lesion counts (36.3%, p<0.0001), and by reduction in average Investigator’s Global Assessment, or IGA, score (-0.29, p<0.001), were observed when compared to baseline for both cohorts. No meaningful difference was demonstrated for BX001 relative to placebo. As mentioned above, we have decided not to continue pursuing this program. 3 Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis On November 12, 2020, we announced consolidation of our IBD and PSC programs into a single broad host range product candidate, named BX003, under development for both indications. Prior to November 2020, we had two separate phage product candidates for IBD and for PSC, with our IBD product candidate named BX002 and PSC product candidate named BX003. After the consolidation, the current BX003 product candidate is now under development to treat both IBD and PSC, targeting bacterial strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae , or K. pneumoniae , a potential pathogen implicated in both diseases. Prior to the consolidation, our Phase 1a clinical study was conducted only on BX002, and future clinical studies are planned to be conducted on BX003 for both IBD and PSC. On February 2, 2021, we announced positive results of a randomized, single-blind, multiple-dose, placebo-controlled Phase 1a pharmacokinetic study of BX002, our product candidate for IBD and PSC, conducted under an investigational new drug, or IND, application submitted to the FDA. The study evaluated the safety and tolerability of orally administered BX002 in 18 healthy volunteers. Subjects were randomized to receive orally either BX002 or placebo, twice daily for three days. Subjects were monitored for safety for seven days in a clinical unit, with follow-up monitoring for safety assessments conducted at 14 and 28 days after completion of dosing. BX002 was demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events and no adverse events leading to discontinuation. In addition, the study met its objective of delivering high concentrations of viable phage to the gastrointestinal tract of approximately 1010 PFU, or plaque forming units. This equals approximately 1,000 times more viable phage compared to the bacterial burden of K. pneumoniae in IBD and PSC patients as measured in stool. Colorectal Cancer For our CRC program, we are exploring phage mediated delivery of therapeutic payloads to Fusobacterium nucleatum bacteria residing in the tumors of patients with colorectal cancer. For more information regarding our product candidates, see Part I, Item 1 “Business” of our 2020 Annual Report. COVID-19 On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, mandatory business closures and other measures designed to mitigate the spread, leading to a substantial reduction in economic activities in countries around the world, resulting in certain disruptions to our business throughout 2020 and in 2021. In response to the pandemic, we have implemented the mandatory as well as recommended measures to safeguard the health and safety of our employees and clinical trial participants, and the continuity of our business operations, including social distancing in our offices, a work from home policy for all employees who are able to perform their duties remotely and restricting all nonessential travel, and we expect to continue to take actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, clinical trial participants and others in light of COVID-19. As of November 10, 2021, COVID-19 has not had a material impact on our results of operations. However, uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of COVID-19 on our future research and development activities and the potential for a material impact on the Company increases the longer the virus impacts certain aspects of economic activity around the world. The full extent to which COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our ability to fulfill our clinical trial enrollment needs, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets, the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, the ultimate impact on financial markets and the global economy, the effectiveness of vaccines and vaccine distribution efforts and the effectiveness of other actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. During the second quarter of 2020, we updated our guidance on the timing of certain clinical milestones partly due to the health and safety precautions we had taken and challenges we continue to face in clinical trial enrollment due to COVID-19. It is not currently possible to predict how long the pandemic will last, what the long-term global effects will be, or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to pre-pandemic levels, and we do not yet know the full impact on our business and operations. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 closely and follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve. 4 Consolidated Results of Operations Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 The following table summarizes our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Three Months ended September 30, 2021 2020 USD in thousands Research and development (“R&D”) expenses, net 6,608 6,056 Amortization of intangible assets 380 380 General and administrative expenses 2,845 2,394 Operating loss 9,833 8,830 Financial expense, net 188 5 Loss before tax 10,021 8,835 Tax expenses 10 - Net loss 10,031 8,835 Basic and diluted loss per share of Common Stock 0.37 0.38 Weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, basic and diluted 27,077,903 23,150,253 R&D expenses, net (net of grants received from the Israel Innovation Authority, or the IIA, and considerations from research collaborations) were $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $0.5 million, or 8%, is primarily due to increased expenses related to conducting pre-clinical and clinical trials of our product candidates, partially offset by an increase in IIA grants that were recorded during the period. The Company recorded $0.6 million of IIA grants and grants receivables during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company did not record any grants and grants receivables during the three months ended September 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses were $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $0.4 million, or 17%, is primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation and salaries and related expenses, mainly due to the growth in the number of employees and due to an increase in expenses associated with operating as a public company, such as directors’ and officers’ insurance. Financial expense, net was $188,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in financial expense, net of $183,000, or 3900%, is primarily due to interest expense resulting from receipt of the first tranche of the Term Loan Facility, and due to the decrease in interest rates on bank deposits and money market funds. Basic and diluted loss per share of Common Stock was $0.37 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in diluted loss per shares of $0.01, or 3%, is primarily due to the increase in outstanding shares as part of the registered direct offering described below and other issuances of our Common Stock, offset by an increase in our operating loss. 5 Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 The following table summarizes our consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Nine Months ended September 30, 2021 2020 USD in thousands R&D expenses, net 16,102 13,302 Amortization of intangible assets 1,139 1,139 General and administrative expenses 8,436 6,749 Operating loss 25,677 21,190 Financial expense (income), net 76 (248 ) Loss before tax 25,753 20,942 Tax expenses 16 - Net loss 25,769 20,942 Basic and diluted loss per share of Common Stock 1.03 0.91 Weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, basic and diluted 25,120,037 23,013,790 Research and development expenses, net (net of IIA grants and consideration from research collaborations) were $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $2.8 million, or 21%, is primarily due to expenses related to conducting pre-clinical and clinical trials of our product candidates and due to an increase in stock-based compensation and salaries and related expenses, mainly due to the growth in the number of employees in R&D and clinical activities, partially offset by an increase in IIA grants. The Company recorded $3.3 million and $0.5 million of IIA grants and grants receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $1.7 million, or 25%, is primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation and salaries and related expenses, mainly due to the growth in the number of employees, as well as an increase in expenses associated with operating as a public company, such as directors’ and officers’ insurance and due to expenses of moving into new premises. Financial expense, net was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to financial income, net of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in financial expense, net of $0.3 million, or 150%, is primarily due to interest expense that resulted from the Term Loan Facility and to the decrease in interest rates on bank deposits and money market funds, partially offset by the USD/NIS exchange rate differences. Basic and diluted loss per share of Common Stock was $1.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.91 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $0.12, or 13%, is primarily due to the increase in our net loss, partially offset by the increase in outstanding shares as part of the registered direct offering described below and other issuances of our Common Stock. Liquidity and Capital Resources We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements until at least the end of 2023. We have revised our operating plans in order to reduce expenses and, until we are able to obtain further funding, we currently plan to focus primarily on BX004 and BX005, our product candidates for CF and AD, respectively. In the future we will likely require or desire additional funds to support our operating expenses and capital requirements or for other purposes, and may seek to raise such additional funds through public or private equity, such as the registered direct offering discussed below or debt financings, loans such as the venture debt discussed below or collaborative agreements or from other sources, as well as under the ATM Agreement discussed below. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. 6 Cash Flows The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 USD in thousands Net cash used in operating activities (18,483 ) (17,325 ) Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 16,276 (1,049 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 33,300 121 Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (2 ) - Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 31,091 (18,253 ) Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $18.5 million primarily due to a net loss of $25.8 million, mostly due to our R&D and general and administrative expenses, offset by non-cash charges of $4.1 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $3.1 million. Non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.7 million and stock-based compensation expenses in the amount of $2.7 million, offset by changes in contingent consideration of $0.3 million. Net changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily due to change in other current assets in the amount of $2.1 million and in other account payables in the amount of $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $0.5 million and a decrease in net change in operating leases of $0.2 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $17.3 million and included our net loss of $20.9 million, mostly due to our R&D and general and administrative expenses. Net changes in our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization in the amount of $1.6 million and stock-based compensation in the amount of $2.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable in the amount of $1.9 million. Investing Activities During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by investing activities was $16.3 million, primarily as a result of liquidation of short-term deposits of $19.9 million, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of $3.6 million which consisted primarily of leasehold improvements and lab equipment as part of construction work on our new in-house manufacturing facility, laboratories and offices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million, mainly as a result of an increase in bank deposits and purchases of property and equipment. We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, our existing cash in short-term investments in accordance with our investment policy. These investments may include money market funds and investment securities consisting of U.S. Treasury notes, and high quality, marketable debt instruments of corporations and government sponsored enterprises. We use foreign exchange contracts (mainly option and forward contracts) to hedge balance sheet items from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, we record gains or losses that offset the revaluation of the balance sheet items under financial expenses, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $2.8 million with a fair value of $0.02 million. As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $3.5 million with a fair value of $0.01 million. Financing Activities During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $33.3 million, from a loan and security agreement, from the issuance of Common Stock in a registered direct offering and from the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Open Market Sales Agreement referred to below. In December 2020, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 11, 2020, we entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement, or the ATM Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations in the ATM Agreement, we may elect, from time to time, to offer and sell shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 through Jefferies acting as sales agent. We are not obligated to make any sales of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement. From January 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 743,964 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,351,120. From October 1, 2021 through November 10, 2021, we did not issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. We may continue to sell shares under the ATM Agreement and otherwise to use our effective shelf registration statement to raise additional funds from time to time. 7 On July 28, 2021, we completed a transaction under a securities purchase agreement, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, with certain institutional investors and all of our directors and certain of our executive officers, or, collectively, the Investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a registered direct offering, or the Offering, directly to the Investors an aggregate of 3,750,000 units, at a purchase price of $4.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of our Common Stock, and one warrant to purchase 0.75 of a share of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The net proceeds from the Offering amounted to $13.8 million, after the deduction of fees and Offering expenses and assuming no exercise of the warrants. The warrants will be exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date such warrants first become exercisable. The warrants will not be listed on the NYSE American Stock Market or any other exchange and no trading market for the warrants is expected to develop. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us. Additionally, in August 2021, we entered into a loan and security agreement, or the Term Loan Facility, with Hercules Capital, Inc., or Hercules, pursuant to which a term loan in an aggregate principal amount up to $30.0 million, or the Term Loan, is available to us in three tranches. We received $14.2 million, net of $0.8 million of closing charges and other transaction costs, promptly after signing the agreement on August 16, 2021 and, two additional tranches of $10 million and $5 million may become available to us to borrow upon the occurrence of certain milestone events. In October 2021 we entered into a binding agreement with a subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd., or Maruho, a leading dermatology-focused pharmaceutical company in Japan, for an equity investment of $3.0 million. On October 14, 2021, pursuant to such agreement, we issued to Maruho 375,000 shares of our Common Stock at a premium to the market share price. The proceeds from this sale are intended primarily to support the Phase 1/2 study of BX005 expected in 2022. We also entered into an agreement granting Maruho a right of first offer to license our atopic dermatitis product candidate, BX005, in Japan. The right of first offer will commence following the availability of results from the Phase 1/2 study. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million, mainly as a result of exercise of stock options of $0.2 million, partially offset by outflows in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction of $0.1 million. Outlook We have accumulated a deficit of $98.0 million since our inception. To date, we have not generated revenue from our operations and we do not expect to generate any significant revenues from sales of products in the next twelve months. Our cash needs may increase in the foreseeable future. We expect to generate revenues, from the sale of licenses to use our technology or products, but in the short and medium terms any amounts generated are unlikely to exceed our costs of operations. According to our estimates and based on our current operating plans, our liquidity resources as of September 30, 2021, which consisted primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $68.3 million and will be sufficient to fund our operations into at least the end of 2023. Consistent with our continuing R&D activities, we expect to continue to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future. To the extent we require funds above our existing liquidity resources in the medium and long term, we plan to fund our operations, as well as other development activities relating to additional product candidates, through future issuances of public or private equity or debt securities, including under our ATM Agreement, loans, including the Loan and possibly additional grants from the IIA or other government or non-profit institutions. Our 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 our securities, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. 8 We entered into forward and option contracts to hedge against the risk of overall changes in future cash flow from payments of salaries and related expenses, as well as other expenses denominated in NIS, for a period of less than one year. As of September 30, 2021, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $2.8 million. As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $3.5 million. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1A. Risk Factors. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021, except as noted below. Risks related to the Hercules Loan Agreement The terms of the Hercules Loan Agreement place restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our ability to operate our business. In August 2021, we entered into Hercules Loan Agreement, providing for the Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, subject to funding in three tranches and subject to certain terms and conditions. We received the first tranche of $15.0 million promptly after signing the agreement in August 2021. Two additional tranches in the amounts of $10 million and $5 million may become available to us to borrow upon the occurrence of certain milestone events. Our obligations under the Hercules Loan Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, other than intellectual property. We also agreed not to pledge or secure our intellectual property to others. The Hercules Loan Agreement includes affirmative and negative covenants and events of default applicable to us. The affirmative covenants include, among others, covenants requiring us to maintain our legal existence and governmental approvals, deliver certain financial reports and maintain insurance coverage. The negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on our transferring collateral, making changes to the nature of our business, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, engaging in transactions with affiliates. Events of default include, among other things and subject to customary exceptions: (i) insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy or similar events; (ii) failure to pay any debts due under the Hercules Loan Agreement or other loan documents on a timely basis; (iii) failure to observe certain covenants under the loan and security agreement with Hercules; (v) occurrence of a material adverse effect; (vi) material misrepresentation by us; (vii) occurrence of any default under any other agreement involving material indebtedness; and (viii) certain material money judgments. If we default under the Hercules Loan Agreement, Hercules may accelerate all of our repayment obligations and take control of our pledged assets, potentially requiring us to renegotiate our agreement on terms less favorable to us or to immediately cease operations. Further, if we are liquidated, the lenders’ right to repayment would be senior to the rights of the holders of our Common Stock to receive any proceeds from the liquidation. Any declaration by Hercules of an event of default could significantly harm our business and prospects and could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline. If we raise any additional debt financing, the terms of such additional debt could further restrict our operating and financial flexibility. 10 Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. On October 14, 2021, we issued to Maruho Deutschland GmbH 375,000 shares of our Common Stock in consideration for $3,000,000, at a purchase price of $8.00 per share. We issued the shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 506 and Rule 903 under the Securities Act 1933, as amended. Item 5. Other Information On November 10, 2021, Dr. Sailaja Puttagunta, our Chief Medical Officer, or CMO, notified us that she will be stepping down as CMO on December 31, 2021. Dr. Puttagunta will be transitioning into a consulting role starting at the beginning of 2022. Item 6.
