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 Chief Financial Officer (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, 2022. 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, 2022.
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, 2022. 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, 2022, 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 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

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
2019, in connection with the Business Combination, we assumed the 2015 Plan with respect to each outstanding equity award thereunder.
Although no shares of our Common Stock are available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan, the 2015 Plan will continue to govern outstanding
awards granted thereunder. As of December 31, 2022, options to purchase 2,110,800 shares of our Common Stock remained outstanding under
the 2015 Plan.
The 2019 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors
and approved by our stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022, there were 380,189 shares of our
Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance pursuant
to the 2019 Plan automatically increases on January 1 of each year, for a period of not more than ten years, commencing on January 1,
2020 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Accordingly, on January 1, 2023, 1,199,291 additional shares of our Common Stock were made
available for issuance pursuant to the 2019 Plan.

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 sheets of BiomX Inc
and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 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 audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits 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 audits we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the 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 audits 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 audits provide 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 October 29, 2019, the Company merged with BiomX Israel, who
survived the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BiomX Inc. The Company acquired all outstanding shares of BiomX Israel. In exchange,
shareholders of BiomX Israel received 15,069,058 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, representing 65 % of the total shares issued
and outstanding after the acquisition (“Recapitalization Transaction”). BiomX Israel was deemed the “accounting acquirer”
due to the largest ownership interest in the Company. 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. On July 6, 2022, the Company announced a voluntary delisting of its shares
of Common Stock from the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange which became effective on October 6, 2022.
BiomX is developing both natural and
engineered phage cocktails designed to target and destroy harmful bacteria in chronic diseases, focusing its efforts at this point on
cystic fibrosis and to a lesser degree on atopic dermatitis. BiomX discovers and validates proprietary bacterial targets and customizes
phage compositions against these targets. The Company’s headquarters are located in Ness Ziona, Israel. See note 19 for further
information regarding the Company’s R&D plan.
B.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic, declared a global pandemic by the World
Health Organization on March 12, 2020, led to significant restrictions on travel and business operations worldwide, resulting in disruptions
to our business throughout 2021 and 2022. The Company has implemented measures to protect the health and safety of its employees and clinical
trial participants, and these measures may change based on government recommendations or its own assessment of the situation. While COVID-19
has not materially impacted the Company’s results of operations as of December 31, 2022, the potential impact on the Company’s
future research and development activities, clinical trials and results of operations is uncertain, including the Company's ability to
fulfill its clinical trial enrollment needs. The Company cannot predict the duration or long-term effects of the pandemic on its business
and operations. The Company will continue to monitor COVID-19 closely and follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.

C.
Liquidity:
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. See note 20B regarding Securities Purchase Agreement
entered into in February 2023.
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. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive
terms, it may be forced to delay or reduce its research and development programs. If there are further increases in operating costs for
facilities expansion, research and development and clinical activity, the Company will need to use mitigating actions such as to seek
additional financing or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. On May 24, 2022, the Company announced a corporate restructuring
(the “Corporate Restructuring”), intended to extend the Company’s capital resources, while prioritizing the Company’s
ongoing cystic fibrosis program and delaying the Company’s atopic dermatitis program. See note 19 for further information.
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.
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 markets.
C. Functional currency and foreign currency translation
Transactions and balances originally
denominated in U.S. dollars (“USD”) are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-USD currencies are translated into
USD using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-USD transactions and other
items in the statements of income (indicated below), the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions – exchange rates
at transaction dates or average exchange rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation
and amortization) – historical exchange rates. Currency transaction gains and losses are presented in financial expenses (income),
net as appropriate. The functional currency of the Company is USD.
D. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
The Company considers cash equivalents to be all short-term,
highly liquid investments, which include money market funds, 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. Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually restricted to a credit line for outstanding
short-term foreign exchange contracts and bank guarantee due to rental agreements. The Company has presented restricted cash separately
from cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company includes its restricted bank deposits in cash and cash
equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the combined statement of cash flows.

NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
E. 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. Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits are invested in USD instruments with major
banks in the U.S. and Israel. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to the financial institutions that hold the Company’s
cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is low. Refer to Note 2K.
F. 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
G. 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.
H. 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, 2022 and 2021, no impairment expenses were recorded.
I. Income taxes
The Company accounts 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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021.
J. 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, 2022, the Company had outstanding short-term foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount
of approximately $ 4,547 with a fair value liability of $ 55 . As of December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding short-term foreign exchange
contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $ 4,180 with a fair value asset of $ 62 .

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
K. 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, 2022 and 2021.
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:

K.
Fair value of financial instruments (Cont.)
Refer to Note 13A regarding the fair
value of the financial instrument that resulted from an agreement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (“CF Foundation”).
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 2.42 % to 3.99 %. 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, 2022 and 2021 resulted mainly from revaluation.
L. 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 $ 562 and $ 689 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
Company expects to contribute approximately $ 430 in the year ending December 31, 2023 to insurance companies in connection with its
expected severance liabilities for the year.
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, 2022 and 2021 the Company did not record any expenses for 401(k)
match contributions.
M. 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”).

N. 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.
O. 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.
P. 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 excluding ordinary shares purchased
by the Company and held as treasury shares. 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.
Q. 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.

NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Q.
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). The Company uses an average historical stock price volatility based on a combined weighted average of the Company’s
historical average volatility and that of a selected peer group of comparable public companies within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical
industry that were deemed to be representative of future stock price trends as the Company does not have a sufficient historical trading
history of its own Common Stock. The Company will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding
the volatility of its own stock price becomes available. 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.
R. 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.
S. Treasury stock
Treasury shares are presented as a
reduction of equity, at their cost to the Company.
T. New accounting pronouncements
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 reflect this election.

New accounting pronouncements (Cont.)
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
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. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using
the modified retrospective approach which resulted in no effect.
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 adopted the guidance on January 1, 2022, and has concluded the adoption did not have a material impact
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 applied the guidance prospectively to all in-scope transactions beginning fiscal year 2022. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements,
not yet adopted
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 has concluded the adoption will not have a material impact on its 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 has
concluded the adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SHORT-TERM DEPOSITS

LEASES
In May 2017, BiomX Israel entered into
a lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement is for five years beginning on June 1, 2017 with an option to
extend for an additional five years. Monthly lease payments under the agreement are approximately $ 18 .
In September 2019, BiomX Israel entered
into an additional lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement is for five years beginning on September 8, 2019
with an option to extend for an additional three years. The option was not accounted for as part of the lease, given its low probability
of being exercised. Monthly lease payments under the agreement are approximately $ 12 .
In September 2020, BiomX Israel entered
into a third lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel for five years beginning on September 1, 2020, with an option to extend
for an additional period until November 30, 2030. This agreement supersedes the abovementioned May 2017 and September 2019 lease agreements
and sets the prior lease agreements’ end date to March 31, 2021. Monthly lease payments under the new lease agreement are approximately
$ 50 . As part of the agreement, BiomX Israel was exempted from monthly payments under the new agreement until January 15, 2021. In addition,
the lessor reimbursed BiomX Israel for costs incurred for leasehold improvements by a pre-defined amount. BiomX Israel will pay back the
reimbursed amount with interest during the entire contract term. As a result, the Company recognized a lease incentive asset in an
amount of $ 1,030 that is deducted from the operating lease right-of-use asset. The operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease
liabilities contemplate the option period. As a part of the agreement, BiomX Israel provided a bank guarantee to the landlord in the amount
of approximately $ 270 , representing four monthly lease and related payments.
On October 1, 2020, the Company entered
into a lease agreement for office space in Branford, Connecticut, U.S., for 25 months beginning on October 5, 2020. Monthly lease payments
under the agreement are approximately $ 4 . As part of the agreement, the Company deposited $ 8 as a security, representing two monthly lease

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. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the loan was repaid by the stockholder to the Company and was accounted as proceeds on account of shares in the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity as the shares of Common Stock were not transferred to the stockholder as of December 31, 2022.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Cont.)
In August 2021, the IIA approved an
application that supports upgrading the Company’s manufacturing capabilities 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. Through December 31, 2022, the Company received NIS 1,912 (approximately $ 577 ) from the IIA with respect
to this program.
In March 2022, the IIA approved an
application for a total budget of NIS 13,004 (approximately $ 4,094 ) in relation to the Company’s cystic fibrosis product candidate.
The IIA committed to fund 30 % of the approved budget. The program is for the period beginning January 2022 through December 2022. Through
December 31, 2022, the Company received NIS 1,365 (approximately $ 395 ) from the IIA with respect to this program.
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 USD. 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, 2022; therefore, no
liability was recorded in these consolidated financial statements. IIA grants are recorded as a reduction of R&D expenses, net.
Through December 31, 2022, total grants
approved from the IIA aggregated to approximately $ 8,403 (NIS 28,683 ). Through December 31, 2022, BiomX Israel had received an aggregate
amount of $ 6,957 (NIS 23,634 ) in the form of grants from the IIA. Total grants subject to royalties’ payments aggregated to approximately
$ 6,380 . As of December 31, 2022, BiomX Israel had a contingent obligation to the IIA in the amount of approximately $ 6,557 including annual
interest of LIBOR linked to the USD.
The United Kingdom’s Financial
Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for
LIBOR after 2021. Even though the IIA has not declared the alternative benchmark rate to replace LIBOR, the Company does not expect it
will have a significant 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 License Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions specified in the
2015 License Agreement. BiomX Israel contributed an aggregate of approximately $ 1,800 to the research budget agreed upon in the 2015
License Agreement. In addition, Yeda granted BiomX Israel an exclusive worldwide license for the development, production and sale of
the products, as defined and subject to the terms and conditions specified in the 2015 License Agreement. In return, BiomX Israel is
obligated to pay Yeda annual license fees of approximately $ 10 and royalties on revenues as defined in the 2015 License Agreement. In
addition, in the event of certain mergers and acquisitions by the Company, Yeda 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, 2022 and 2021 with respect to the 2015 License Agreement.

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”),
would have become available, 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 second tranche
and for the extension of the period of interest only payments to September 1, 2023, were not reached and have expired. The milestones
for the third tranche have not yet been reached as of December 31, 2022. The Company is required to make interest only payments through
March 1, 2023, 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

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, 2022, the Company sold 229,044 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement, at an average price of $1.19 per share, raising
aggregate net proceeds of approximately $273, after deducting an aggregate commission of 3%. 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% . The Company deducted issuance expenses from Additional
Paid in Capital of $ 8 and $ 158 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 initially 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. Following the Company’s announcement on May 24, 2022, as mentioned in Note 19 below regarding the delaying of the
Company’s atopic dermatitis program, the contract liability was classified as a non-current liability.

CFF Agreement:
In December 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement with the 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, 2022. See Note 20B.
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 as technically adjusted following the Recapitalization Transaction
on October 28, 2019.
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, 2022, there were
380,189 shares of Common Stock remaining for issuance under the 2019 Plan. On January 1, 2023, the number of shares of Common Stock available
to grant under the 2019 Plan was increased by 1,199,291 .

over the vesting period.
As of December 31, 2022, the unrecognized
compensation cost related to all unvested, equity classified stock options of $ 1,632 is expected to be recognized as an expense on a graded

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 2019 remain open and subject to examination. The statutory U.S. federal income tax rate is 21 %. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total net operating losses in the U.S. of approximately $ 13,578 , 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, 2022 and 2021, BiomX Israel had total net operating losses in Israel of approximately $ 90,878 and $ 78,542 respectively, which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
D.
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, 2022 and 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, 2022 and 2021.
A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory tax rate

The calculation of diluted loss per share as of December 31,
2022 does not include 4,769,441 , 9,215,475 and 4,000,000 of shares underlying options, shares underlying warrants and contingent shares,
