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, 2021. 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, 2021.
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, 2021. 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, 2021, 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 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
On March 29, 2022, Mr. Paul Sekhri informed the
Board of Directors of his resignation as a director of the Company, effective immediately. The resignation of Mr. Sekhri did not involve
any disagreement with the Company, the Company’s management or the Board of Directors.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation 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

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, 2021, there were 216,036 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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors and stockholders of BiomX Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BiomX
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based
on our audit. 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 audit of these consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated 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 audit 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

GENERAL
A.
General information:
BiomX Inc., (individually, and together with its subsidiaries,
BiomX Ltd. and RondinX Ltd., 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.
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 13A).
The Company’s shares of Common Stock, units, and
warrants are traded 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.
BiomX is developing both natural and engineered phage cocktails
designed to target and destroy harmful bacteria in chronic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease
and colorectal cancer. BiomX discovers and validates proprietary bacterial targets and customizes phage compositions against these targets.
The Company’s
headquarters are located in Ness Ziona, Israel
B.
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, the Company implemented the
mandatory as well as recommended measures to safeguard the health and safety of its employees and clinical trial participants, and the
continuity of its business operations, including social distancing in its offices, a work from home policy for all employees who are
able to perform their duties remotely and restricting all nonessential travel, and the Company expects to continue to take actions as
may be required or recommended by government authorities or as the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, clinical
trial participants and others in light of COVID-19. As of December 31, 2021, COVID-19 has not had a material impact on the Company’s
results of operations. However, uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of COVID-19 on its 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 the Company’s business, results of operations and
financial condition, including the Company’s ability to fulfill its 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, the Company updated its guidance on the timing of certain clinical milestones partly
due to the health and safety precautions the Company had taken and challenges it continues 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 the Company does not yet know the full impact on its
business and operations. The Company will continue to monitor COVID-19 closely and follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.

GENERAL (Cont.)
C.
Risk factors:
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 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.
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 cash equivalents to be all short-term,
highly liquid investments, which include money market instruments, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and short-term bank
deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
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. Refer to Note 2K.
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
H. Intangible assets
Intangible research and development assets acquired in
a business combination are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and capitalized as an indefinite life intangible asset
until the related research and development efforts are either completed or abandoned. In the reporting periods where they are treated
as indefinite life intangible assets, they are not amortized but rather are monitored for triggering events and tested for impairment.
Upon completion of the related research and development efforts, management determines the useful life of the intangible assets and amortizes
them accordingly.
I. Long-lived assets
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, 2021 and 2020, no impairment expenses were recorded.
J. 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
basis 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.
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, 2021 and 2020.
K. Derivative activity
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts (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, 2021, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of U.S. dollars (“USD”) to NIS
in the amount of approximately $ 4,180 with a fair value of $ 62 . 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 .

L. 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, 2021 and 2020.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial
assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

L.
Fair value of financial instruments (Cont.)
Refer to Note 13A regarding the fair value of the financial
instrument that resulted from the CFF agreement.
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.
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 1.26 %. The contingent consideration is evaluated quarterly, or more frequently, if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value
of contingent consideration are recorded in 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 liability. Changes
in contingent consideration for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 resulted mainly from revaluation.
M. 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 $ 689 and $ 567 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020 the Company did not record any expenses for 401(k) match contributions.
N. Financial instruments
When the Company issues freestanding instruments, it first
analyzes the provisions of ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” (“ASC 480”) in order to determine
whether the instrument should be classified as a liability, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements
of operations in each period. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the provisions of ASC
815-10 in order to determine whether the instrument is considered indexed to the entity's own stock, and qualifies for classification
within equity. All warrants issued by the Company are classified within stockholders’ equity as "Additional paid-in capital".
Equity classification is permitted when warrants are indexed to the Company's own shares and meet the classification requirements for
stockholders’ equity classification of ASC 815-40, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 815-40”).
O. Collaborative arrangements
The Company entered into collaborative arrangements with
partners that fall under the scope of Topic 808, “Collaborative Arrangements” (“ASC 808”). While these arrangements
are in the scope of ASC 808, the Company may analogize to ASC 606 for some aspects of the arrangements. The Company analogizes to ASC
606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) for certain activities within the collaborative arrangement
for the delivery of a good or service (i.e., a unit of account) that is part of its ongoing major or central operations.
The terms of the Company’s collaborative arrangements
typically include reimbursements or cost-sharing of R&D expenses. Each of these payments results in an offset against R&D expenses.
Under certain collaborative arrangements, the Company has
been reimbursed for a portion of its R&D expenses or participates in the cost-sharing of such R&D expenses. Such reimbursements
and cost-sharing arrangements have been reflected as a reduction of R&D expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of
operations, as the Company does not consider performing research and development services for reimbursement to be a part of its ongoing
major or central operations.

P. 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.
Q. 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.
R. 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 granted to employees and non-employees 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 using the
graded vesting method. The Company accounts for share-based payment awards classified as equity awards. 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
R.
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.
S. Leases
Under Accounting Standards Update, “Leases”
(“ASC 842”), the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes
a liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, and concurrently recognizes a right-of-use asset
at the same amount of the liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect
of the lease. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine
the present value of the lease payments. The subsequent measurement depends on whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or
an operating lease. During the reporting periods, the Company has only operating leases. 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 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.
T. Treasury Stock
Treasury shares are presented as a reduction of equity,
at their cost to the Company.
U. Recent Accounting Standards
As an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable
to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected not to use this extended
transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates referenced below reflects this election.

U.
Recent Accounting Standards (Cont.)
In
June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,
“Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces
the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of
a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for smaller
reporting companies (as defined by the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) for the fiscal year beginning on
January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact
it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
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 was permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company expects to apply modified retrospective basis adoption of this guidance,
which will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued 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”. The guidance is effective for the Company on
January 1, 2022. The Company expects that this guidance, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business
Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires
contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition
date in accordance with ASC 606. The guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the
same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective
date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is
currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government
Assistance (Topic 832)”, which requires annual disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions involving government
grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions
on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company expects that this guidance, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

Transactions with related parties
1. In October 2019, BiomX Israel entered into a loan agreement in the
amount of $ 19 with a shareholder who was subject to taxation in Israel in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction. The loan was
initially for a period of up to two years from the time of the grant, is non-recourse, and is 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 the shareholder 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. The number of shares of Common Stock in respect
of which the 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.
2. On October 31, 2018, BiomX Israel entered into a research collaboration agreement with Janssen Research & Development, LLC (“Janssen”), an affiliate of shareholder Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation, for a collaboration on biomarker discovery for inflammatory bowel disease (“IBD”).

In April 2020, the IIA approved an application for a total
budget of NIS 15,562 (approximately $ 4,287 ). The IIA committed to fund 30 % of the approved budget. The program was for the period beginning
January 2020 through December 2020. As of December 31, 2021, BiomX Israel had received all funds with respect to this program.
In March 2021, the IIA approved two new applications for
a total budget of NIS 19,444 (approximately $ 5,874 ). The IIA committed to fund 30 % of the approved budget. The program is for the period
beginning January 2021 through December 2021. As of December 31, 2021, BiomX Israel had received NIS 2,042 (approximately $ 625 ) from the
IIA with respect to these programs.
In August 2021, the IIA approved an application for an aggregate
budget of NIS 5,737 (approximately $ 1,778 ). The IIA committed to fund 50 % of the approved budget. The program is for the period beginning
July 2021 through June 2022. The program does not bear royalties. As of December 31, 2021, BiomX Israel had received NIS 1,004 (approximately
$ 313 ) from the IIA with respect to this program. Refer to note 19A for more information regarding received funds.
Refer to note 19B for more information regarding approved
applications in 2022.
According to the agreements with the IIA, BiomX Israel
will pay royalties of 3 % to 3.5 % of future sales up to an amount equal to the accumulated grant received including annual interest of
LIBOR linked to the dollar. BiomX Israel may be required to pay additional royalties upon the occurrence of certain events as determined
by the IIA, that are within the control of BiomX Israel. No such events have occurred or were probable of occurrence as of the balance
sheet date with respect to these royalties. Repayment of the grant is contingent upon the successful completion of the BiomX Israel’s
R&D programs and generating sales. BiomX Israel has no obligation to repay these grants if the R&D program fails, is unsuccessful
or aborted or if no sales are generated. The Company had not yet generated sales as of December 31, 2021; therefore, no liability was
recorded in these consolidated financial statements. IIA grants are recorded as a reduction of R&D expenses, net.
Total research and development income recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations was $ 3,741 and $ 518 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Through December 31, 2021, total grants approved from the
IIA aggregated to approximately $ 7,175 (NIS 24,782 ). Through December 31, 2021, BiomX Israel had received an aggregate amount of $ 5,571
(NIS 19,100 ) in the form of grants from the IIA. Total grants subject to royalties’ payments aggregated to approximately $ 5,258 .
As of December 31, 2021, BiomX Israel had a contingent obligation to the IIA in the amount of approximately $ 5,397 including annual interest
of LIBOR linked to the dollar.
Even though the IIA did not determine an alternative benchmark
rate to the LIBOR, the Company does not expect the replacement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
B. In
June 2015, BiomX Israel entered into a Research and License Agreement (the “2015 License Agreement”) as amended with Yeda
Research and Development Company Limited (“Yeda”), according to which Yeda undertakes to procure the performance of certain
research, including proof-of-concept studies testing in-vivo phage eradication against a model bacteria in germ-free mice, development
of an IBD model in animals under germ-free conditions and establishing an in-vivo method for measuring immune induction capability (Th1)
of bacteria, followed by testing several candidate IBD inducing bacterial strains during the research period, as defined in the 2015

will be entitled to an amount equivalent to 1 % of the consideration received under such transaction (the “Exit Fee”), as
adjusted per the terms of the 2015 License Agreement. As the Company has not yet generated revenue from operations, no provision was
included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 with respect to the 2015 License Agreement.
In May 2017, BiomX Israel signed an additional agreement with Yeda (the “2017 License Agreement”), according to which Yeda provided a license to the Company. As consideration for the license, BiomX granted Yeda 591,382 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. Refer to Note 13 below for the terms of the warrants granted.
In July 2019, the Company and Yeda amended the 2015 License Agreement and the 2017 License Agreement (the “Yeda Amendment”). Pursuant to the Yeda Amendment, following the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the provisions of the Yeda license agreements related to the Exit Fee were amended so that the Company is obligated to pay Yeda a one-time payment as described in the Yeda Amendment which will not exceed 1 % of the consideration received in the event of any merger or acquisition involving the Company instead of the Exit Fee, with respect to each license agreement.
The 2017 License Agreement was terminated in 2020. Refer to Note 13 below for the terms of the warrants granted and the resulting impact due to the termination.

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 $10,000 (“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 $5,000 (“the third tranche”), may become available. The milestones for the remaining tranches have not yet been reached
as of December 31, 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

Simultaneous with the consummation of the IPO, the Company
consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 2,900,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”).

Stock Exchange:
As detailed in Note 1, as part of the Recapitalization
Transaction on October 28, 2019, the Company issued 15,069,058 shares of Common Stock in exchange for approximately 65 % of the issued
and outstanding ordinary shares and all the preferred shares of BiomX Israel. The number of shares prior to the Recapitalization Transaction
has been retroactively adjusted based on the equivalent number of shares received by the accounting acquirer in the Recapitalization
Transaction.
In addition, the Company also agreed to issue the following
number of additional shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, to stockholders on a pro rata basis, subject to the Company’s achievement
of the conditions specified below following the recapitalization transaction (all with respect to the Company’s Common Stock traded
on the NYSE American):
A. 2,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock if the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock in any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period prior to January 1, 2022 is greater than or equal to $16.50 per share. As of December 31, 2021, the condition was not achieved and the Company’s conditional undertaking to issue additional shares expired.
B.
2,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s
Common Stock if the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock in any 20 trading days within a 30-trading
day period prior to January 1, 2024 is greater than or equal to $22.75 per share.
C. 2,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock if the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock in any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period prior to January 1, 2026 is greater than or equal to $29.00 per share.
At-the-market Sales Agreement:
In December 2020, pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-3 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 11, 2020, the Company entered into an Open Market
Issuance Sales Agreement (“ATM Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC. (“Jefferies”), which provides that, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions and limitations in the ATM Agreement, the Company may elect, from time to time, to offer and sell shares
of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000 through Jefferies acting as sales agent. During the year ended December
31, 2021, the Company sold 743,964 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement, at an average price of $7.19 per share, raising aggregate
net proceeds of approximately $5,188, after deducting an aggregate commission of 3%. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
sold 10,176 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement, at an average price of $6.07 per share, raising aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $60, after deducting an aggregate commission of 3%. The Company deducted issuance expenses from Additional Paid in Capital
of $ 2 and $ 158 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Securities Purchase Agreement:
On July 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with institutional investors, all of the Company’s directors and certain executive officers for the sale of
an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,812,501 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”), for gross proceeds of $ 15,000
before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses and assuming that none of the warrants are exercised. The securities were
sold at price of $ 4.00 per share and an accompanying warrant to purchase 0.75 of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise
price of $ 5.00 per share. The warrants will be exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years from the
date such warrant first becomes exercisable. The warrants issued were classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40. The securities
were offered pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3. All proceeds were received as of July 28,
2021. 125,000 shares of Common Stock and 93,750 warrants were sold to related parties.
Maruho Agreement:
In October 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement with a subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd., (“Maruho”), a leading dermatology-focused pharmaceutical company in Japan,
pursuant to which the Company issued to Maruho 375,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $ 8.00 per share for gross proceeds of $ 3,000 .
The company also granted Maruho a right of first offer to license its 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 expected in 2022. The Company applied ASC
606 by analogy to the agreements. The agreements were combined into a single unit of account for the purpose of applying ASC 606. Part
of the consideration paid under the agreements, equal to the grant date fair value of the shares issued to Maruho of $ 1,024 , is attributed
to the issuance of shares and accounted for as an increase in equity. The remainder of $ 1,976 was attributed to a contract liability,
to be recognized as other income, at a point in time, once the clinical trials related to the product candidate are completed.

CFF
Agreement:
In December 2021, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation ("CF Foundation"), an organization that historically played a role in
supporting the development of innovative therapies for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). Under the terms of the agreement,
the Company will receive up to $5,000 in two tranches. In the first tranche, which closed and fully received on December 21, 2021, the
CF Foundation invested $3,000 as an initial equity investment based on a share price of $2.57. Upon completion of patient dosing in Part
1 of the Company’s Phase 1b/2a study of BX004, the Company would have the right to receive the second tranche of $2,000, also as
an equity investment. In the event that the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the second tranche
completion is less than $2.57, the Company shall have the right in its sole discretion to waive the second tranche payment and in such
event the CF Foundation shall not have any right to receive additional shares. However, the CF foundation may waive the Milestone in its
discretion and make the Milestone Payment nonetheless. The Company concluded that the second tranche is a freestanding financial
instrument. The Company also concluded that since the instrument will be predominantly settled in a variable number of shares at a fixed
monetary amount, the second tranche is in the scope of ASC 480 and should be accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in fair
value recognized in the statements of operations in each period. The Company further determined that due to the settlement mechanism,
the fair value of the second tranche is negligible, both at inception and on December 31, 2021.
Preferred Stock:
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to
time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Warrants:
1.
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.
2. 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, the 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 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.

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, 2021, 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, 2021, there were 216,036 shares of Common
Stock remaining for issuance under the 2019 plan. On January 1, 2022, the number of shares of Common Stock available to grant under the
2019 Plan was increased by 1,190,129 .

Stock Options:
On March 25, 2020, the Board approved the grant of 814,700
options without consideration to 65 employees, one consultant, four senior officers (one of whom is also a consultant), and six directors
under the 2019 Plan. These options were granted at an exercise price of $ 6.21 per share with vesting periods ranging from three to four
years . Directors and senior officers are entitled to full acceleration of their unvested options upon the occurrence of both a change
in control of the Company and the end of their engagement with the Company.
On May 5, 2020, the Board approved the grant of 79,000
options without consideration to four employees under the 2019 Plan. These options were granted at an exercise price of $ 5.59 per share
with a vesting period of four years .
On October 2, 2020, the Board approved the grant of 32,000
options without consideration to two directors under the 2019 Plan. These options were granted at an exercise price of $ 6.44 per share
with a vesting period of four years . Directors are entitled to full acceleration of their unvested options upon the occurrence of both
a change in control of the Company and the end of their engagement with the Company.
On March 30, 2021, the Board approved the grant of 985,530
options to 94 employees, including five senior officers, one consultant, and six directors under the 2019 Plan, without consideration.
Options were granted at an exercise price of $ 7.02 per share with a vesting period of four years . Directors and senior officers are entitled
to full acceleration of their unvested options upon the occurrence of both a change in control of the Company and the end of their engagement
with the Company.
The fair value of each option was estimated as of the date

be recognized in statements of operations over the vesting period.
As of December 31, 2021, the unrecognized compensation
cost related to all unvested, equity classified stock options of $ 3,395 is expected to be recognized as an expense on a graded vesting
method over a weighted-average period of 1.43 years.

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, 2021, the Company had total net operating losses in the U.S. of approximately $ 7,478 , 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 tax assessments through 2016 are deemed to be final. The statutory Israeli income tax rate is 23 %.
C. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, BiomX Israel had total net operating losses in Israel of approximately $ 78,542 and $ 47,336 , respectively, which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
D. As of December 31, 2021, the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforward in the amount of $ 20.2 million and research and development expenses in the amount of $ 4.6 million. 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, 2021. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.
E. 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, 2021 and 2020.
A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory tax rate

BASIC LOSS PER SHARE
The basic and diluted net loss per share and weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
For the year ended

30,086
Net loss per share
1.39
1.30
Weighted average number of Common Stock
26,007,947
23,062,216
As the inclusion of shares of Common Stock equivalents
in the calculation would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share.
Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the net
loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per
share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and of potential shares of Common Stock outstanding when dilutive.
