CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, or the Quarterly Report, includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and other securities laws. The statements contained herein that are not purely historical,
are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions,
assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,”
“continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,”
“plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “will” or similar words or phrases,
or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. For example, we are making forward-looking statements when we discuss our business strategy
and plans, our clinical and pre-clinical development program, including timing, milestones and the design thereof, including acceptance
of regulatory agencies of such design, the potential opportunities for and benefits of the BacteriOphage Lead to Treatment, or BOLT, platform,
the potential of our product candidates and the sufficiency of financial resources and financial needs and ability to continue as a going
concern. However, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and there are a number of
risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements, including, among others:
●
the ability to generate revenues, and raise sufficient financing to meet working capital requirements;
●
the integration of the operations of Adaptive Phage Therapeutics LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or APT, into the Company;
●
the unpredictable timing and cost associated with our approach to developing product candidates using phage technology;
●
political, economic and military instability in the State of Israel, and in particular, the war in Gaza and Lebanon, additional potential conflicts with other middle eastern countries and the continuation of the proposed judicial and other legislation reform by the Israeli government;
●
political and economic instability, including, without limitation, due to natural disasters or other catastrophic events, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and world sanctions on Russia, Belarus, and related parties, terrorist attacks, hurricanes, fire, floods, pollution and earthquakes;
●
obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, acceptance of any non-U.S. clinical trials of product candidates;
●
our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials and achieve anticipated development milestones when expected;
●
the ability to pursue and effectively develop new product opportunities and acquisitions and to obtain value from such product opportunities and acquisitions;
●
penalties and market withdrawal associated with any unanticipated problems with product candidates and failure to comply with labeling and other restrictions;
●
general economic conditions, our current low stock price and other factors on our operations, the continuity of our business, including our preclinical and clinical trials, and our ability to raise additional capital;
●
expenses associated with compliance with ongoing regulatory obligations and successful continuing regulatory review;
●
market acceptance of our product candidates and ability to identify or discover additional product candidates;
ii
●
our ability to obtain high titers for specific phage cocktails necessary for preclinical and clinical testing;
●
the availability of specialty raw materials and global supply chain challenges;
●
the ability of our product candidates to demonstrate requisite, safety and efficacy for drug products, or safety, purity and potency for biologics without causing adverse effects;
●
the success of expected future advanced clinical trials of our product candidates;
●
our ability to obtain required regulatory approvals;
●
our ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American;
●
delays in developing manufacturing processes for our product candidates;
●
competition from similar technologies, products that are more effective, safer or more affordable than our product candidates or products that obtain marketing approval before our product candidates;
●
the impact of unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives on our ability to sell product candidates or therapies profitably;
●
protection of our intellectual property rights and compliance with the terms and conditions of current and future licenses with third parties;
●
infringement on the intellectual property rights of third parties and claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights;
●
our ability to acquire, in-license or use proprietary rights held by third parties necessary to our product candidates or future development candidates;
●
ethical, legal and social concerns about synthetic biology and genetic engineering that may adversely affect market acceptance of our product candidates;
●
reliance on third-party collaborators;
●
our ability to attract and retain key employees or to enforce the terms of noncompetition agreements with employees;
●
the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations other than drug manufacturing compliance; and
●
potential security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents.
For a detailed discussion
of these and other risks, uncertainties and factors, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2024 and of this Quarterly Report. All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report speak only as of the
date hereof. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to (and expressly disclaim any such obligation to) update or revise any of
the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report.
Comparisons of results between current and prior periods are not intended to express any future trends, or indications of future performance,
and should be viewed only as historical data.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(USD and NIS in thousands, except share and per

(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
A.
General information
BiomX Inc. (individually, and together
with its subsidiaries, BiomX Ltd. (“BiomX Israel”), RondinX Ltd. and Adaptive Phage Therapeutics LLC, (“APT”),
the “Company” or “BiomX”) was incorporated in 2017. The Company’s shares of Common Stock are traded on the
NYSE American under the symbol PHGE. The Company’s units, consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one-half
of a share of Common Stock (“Units”), were traded on the NYSE American under the symbol PHGE.U until a mandatory unit separation
of the units became effective on October 25, 2024. Certain warrants were quoted on OTC Pink under the symbol “PHGEW” and expired
on October 28, 2024.
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 on diabetic foot osteomyelitis. BiomX discovers and validates proprietary bacterial targets and customizes phage compositions
against these targets. The Company’s headquarters are located in Ness Ziona, Israel.
On March 6, 2024, the Company entered
into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with APT and certain other parties, as a result of which APT
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”), as further described below. Additionally, on March 15,
2024, concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company consummated a private placement (the “March 2024 PIPE”)
with certain investors pursuant to which such investors purchased an aggregate of 216,417 shares of the Company’s Series X non-voting
convertible preferred share, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares”), with each share
of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares being convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, after giving effect
to the Reverse Split (as defined below), and warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of
10,820,850 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 50,000 . See Note 1D for further
information regarding the Acquisition and the conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares.
On August 8, 2024, the Board of Directors
approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”), effective on
August 26, 2024. See Note 10A for further information.
B.
The war with Hamas and Hezbollah
On October 7, 2023, an unprecedented
attack was launched against Israel by terrorists from the Hamas terrorist organization that infiltrated Israel’s southern border
from the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the state of Israel attacking civilians and military targets while simultaneously launching
extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and
soldiers. In response, the Security Cabinet of the State of Israel declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist
organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. In addition, Hezbollah, an Islamist terrorist group
that controls large portions of southern Lebanon, has attacked military and civilian targets in Northern Israel, to which Israel has responded.
Moreover, Iran recently launched a direct attack on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to
attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist
groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria
and Iraq. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.
To date, the State of Israel continues
to be at war with Hamas and Hezbollah and in an armed conflict with Iran and its rebel militia groups.
BiomX headquarters are located in Ness
Ziona, Israel; as well as most of its operations. In addition, most of the key employees and officers are residents of Israel. Accordingly,
political, economic and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding region may directly affect its business.
While a few employees of the Company
were called to reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces, the ongoing war with Hamas and Hezbollah has not, since its inception, materially
impacted BiomX’s business or operations. Furthermore, BiomX does not expect any delays to its programs as a result of the situation.
However, at this time, it is not possible to predict the intensity or duration of Israel’s war against Hamas and Hezbollah, nor
predict how this war will ultimately affect BiomX business and operations or Israel’s economy in general.

Going concern
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of
$166,184 and has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. These are expected to continue in the foreseeable
future. The Company plans to continue to fund its ongoing operations, as well as other development activities relating to additional product
candidates, through issuance of debt and/or equity securities, loans, and government grants. Management believes that its current funds
are not sufficient to fund its operations for at least one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Increased research
and development, clinical, or operating expenses may require additional funding or expense postponement. The Company’s ability to
raise capital is subject to market conditions and other aspects, which may affect the terms and availability of such funding. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of such circumstances.
D.
Merger Agreement
On March 6, 2024, the Company, entered
into the Merger Agreement with BTX Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First
Merger Sub”), BTX Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second
Merger Sub”), and APT. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, First Merger Sub merged with and into APT, with APT being the surviving
corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”). Immediately following the First Merger,
APT merged with and into Second Merger Sub, pursuant to which Second Merger Sub was the surviving entity. APT was a U.S.-based privately
held, clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of phage-based therapies to combat bacterial infection. As a result
of the Acquisition, the Company is expected to have a pipeline that includes two Phase 2 assets each aimed at treating serious infections
with unmet medical needs.
On March 15, 2024, the effective date of the Acquisition (the “Closing
Date”), APT’s former stockholders were issued an aggregate of 916,497 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, 40,470 Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 216,650 shares of the Company Common Stock (“Merger
Warrants”). Each share of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares is convertible into an aggregate of 100 shares, after giving effect
to the Reverse Split of Common Stock. The Merger Warrants will be exercisable at any time after the date of the receipt of BiomX
stockholder approval at an exercise price of $ 50.00 per share and will expire on January 28, 2027 . In the event the Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Shares are not converted by the earlier to occur of (i) the time that meeting of BiomX stockholders is ultimately concluded
or (ii) five months after the initial issuance of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares, the Company may be required to pay to each
holder of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares an amount in cash equal to the fair value of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Shares. On July 9, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into
shares of Common Stock and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Merger Warrants.
The Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Shares are entitled to receive dividends on shares of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares equal to, on an as-if-converted-to Common-Stock
basis, and in the same form as, dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or with respect
to the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares protective provisions set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designations, the
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares does not have voting rights.
At the Closing Date, the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares were
classified as temporary equity in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480-10-S99, as they included clauses that could constitute redemption
clauses that were subject to the Company’s stockholder approval and outside of the Company’s control. On June 17, 2024, the
Company filed a definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to a meeting of stockholders to approve, among other things, the
conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock. In addition, the majority of the Company’s
stockholders signed a binding support agreement that contained their commitment to vote in favor or deliver a written consent regarding
any stockholders’ matter in the stockholders’ meeting which took place on July 9, 2024. These circumstances led the Company
to determine that the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares meet the definition of permanent equity as the Company is able to control
the redemption. Therefore, the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares were reclassified as equity. On July 15, 2024, 109,152 Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Shares that were issued under the Acquisition and the March 2024 PIPE were converted into 10,915,200 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock according to beneficial ownership limitations set by certain investors.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (Cont.)
The Merger Warrants are classified
as equity, as they are indexed to the Company’s own shares and meet the classification requirements for stockholders’ equity
classification under ASC 815-40.
Concurrently with the consummation
of the Acquisition, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 50,000 .
See Note 10A for further information.
Immediately following the Acquisition,
and without taking into account the PIPE Preferred Shares and the Private Placement Warrants as defined and described in Note 10A, the
Company’s stockholders prior to the Acquisition owned approximately 55 % of the Company and APT’s stockholders prior to the
Acquisition owned approximately 45 % of the Company on a diluted basis.
The Acquisition was accounted for in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” using the acquisition
method of accounting. The Company was identified as the accounting acquirer, based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
●
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the post-Acquisition board of directors of the Company consisted of seven directors, out of which the Company designated four board seats, with the Company’s chair of the board prior to the Acquisition continuing in his position, i.e. the majority of the post-closing board was designated by the Company.
●
The Chief Executive Officer and the majority of management roles are held by individuals who were affiliated with the Company prior to the Acquisition.
The Acquisition-related transaction
costs are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred transaction costs of $ 874 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which were included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
Purchase Price Allocation
The following sets forth the fair value
of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of APT, after considering measurement period adjustment as described
below, which includes adjustments to reflect the fair value of intangible assets acquired as of March 15, 2024:
Amounts
Cash and cash equivalents

Other accounts payable
( 2,895 )
Operating lease liability
( 7,819 )
Total liabilities
( 14,381 )
Total consideration
15,851
The fair value estimate for all identifiable
assets and liabilities assumed is based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous
market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use).
The Company recognized intangible assets
related to the Acquisition, which consist of IPR&D valued at $ 15,287 using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method valuation method
and of goodwill valued at $ 501 . The goodwill is primarily attributed to the expected synergies from combining the operations of APT with
the Company’s operations and to the assembled workforce of APT. The IPR&D is considered indefinite lived until the completion
or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon successful completion of the project, IPR&D assets are reclassified
to developed technology and amortized over their estimated useful lives

During the three months ended September
30, 2024, the Company made measurement period adjustment to the purchase price allocation, which resulted in an increase to goodwill of
$ 300 . The increase resulted from a provision for a contingency not provided in the initial Purchase Price Allocation, following a
term sheet for a settlement agreement between APT and Oyster Point Pharma, Inc. (“Oyster”) in connection with the Collaboration
and Option Agreement signed in May 2021 as discussed in Note 7A. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been finalized.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment in the amount of $ 801 . See note 12 for further
information.
These intangible assets are classified
as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of shares of Common
Stock issued by the Company was determined using the Company’s closing trading price on the Closing Date adjusted by a discount
for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) of 9.4 % as a registration statement was filed within 45 days. The fair value of Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Shares was determined using the Company’s closing trading price on the Closing Date adjusted by a DLOM of
14.9 % as the conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares to shares of Common Stock was subject to the stockholder approval,
which was obtained on July 9, 2024. The Company determined the fair value of the Merger Warrants using the Black-Scholes model as of the
Closing Date. The main assumptions used are as follows:
Underlying value of Common Stock ($)

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
for condensed financial information. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed).
The financial information contained
in this report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, that the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on April 4, 2024. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
B. Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
C. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reported years. The most significant estimates in the
Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of stock-based compensation awards,
purchase price allocation related to the Acquisition and the Private Placement Warrants fair value revaluation; estimates used in the
IPR&D impairment assessment for calculating the fair value of the Company’s assets by using discounted cash flow incorporate
the Company’s estimated post-tax weighted average cost of capital, amounts and timing of projected future cash flows that are influenced
by the expected outcome of research and development activities, the probability of success and timing in gaining regulatory approval,
size of the potential market and the Company’s specific market share. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts,
future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.
The full extent to which Israel’s
war with Hamas and Hezbollah may directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition
will depend on future developments that are uncertain, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
D. Business Combination
The Company allocates the fair value
of consideration transferred in a business combination to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition
date. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. The excess of
the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed in the acquired business
is recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the consideration transferred included equity securities. The allocation of the consideration
transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period,
which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The cumulative impact of revisions during the measurement period is recognized
in the reporting period in which the revisions are identified. The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it
has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the respective dates of Acquisition.

E. 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.
When the Company issues preferred shares,
it first considers the provisions of ASC 480, in order to determine whether the preferred shares should be classified as a liability.
If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the instrument’s characteristics in order to
determine whether it should be classified within temporary equity (mezzanine) or within permanent equity in accordance with the provisions
of ASC 480-10-S99. The Company reassesses the classification of a contract over its own equity under the guidance above at each balance
sheet date. If classification changes as a result of events during the reporting period, the Company reclassifies the contract as of the
date of the event that caused the reclassification. See Note 1D regarding the reclassification of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Shares.
When the Company issues warrants, it
first considers the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) in order
to determine whether the warrants should be classified as equity. Equity classification is permitted when warrants are indexed to the
Company’s own shares and meet the classification requirements for stockholders’ equity classification under ASC 815-40. If
the warrants are not within the scope of ASC 815-40, the Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in
Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not
meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private
Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability
is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10A for further information regarding the Private Placement Warrants.
F. Basic and diluted loss (earnings) per share
Basic loss (earnings) per share is
computed by dividing net loss (income) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, fully vested
warrants with no exercise price for the Company’s Common Stock and fully vested Pre-Funded Warrants for the Company’s Common
Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, as the Company considers these shares to be exercised for little to no additional consideration.
The calculation excludes shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. Diluted loss (income) per share
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, 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 and if-converted method, in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share.”
The Company computes net loss (income)
per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders
for the period to be allocated between shares of Common Stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive
dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considers its Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares to be
participating securities as the holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed
to the holders of Common Stock, on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into shares of
Common Stock. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s
losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.
G. Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill reflects the excess of the
consideration transferred at the business combination date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is an
asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually
identified and separately recognized. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired
company and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. ASC 350,
“ Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a
quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative
assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing
is required.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company’s goodwill is tested
for impairment at least on an annual basis, on the last day of the third quarter of the fiscal year and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. When necessary, the Company records charges for
impairments of goodwill for the amount by which the carrying amount of the respective reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However,
the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the three months ended September
30, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment in the amount of $ 801 . See note 12 for further information.
Intangible assets
IPR&D assets acquired in a business combination are recognized
at fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment
of the associated R&D efforts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, on the last day of
the third quarter of the fiscal year or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
H. Recent Accounting Standards
Recently issued accounting pronouncements,
not yet adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements
to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness
of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through
changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated
financial statements disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU
2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). This guidance expands
public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided
to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of
its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently
required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures
required under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required
to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating
this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
NOTE 3 – 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(Cont.)
The Company determined the fair value
of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability of 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 3.84 % to 4.52 %. 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 nine and three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, resulted from the passage
of time and discount rate revaluation.
The Company uses foreign exchange contracts
(mainly option and forward contracts) to hedge cash flows from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated
as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, the Company recognizes gains or losses
that offset the revaluation of the cash flows also recorded under financial expenses (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements

NOTE 6 – LEASES
On August 9, 2019, APT entered into
a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with ARE-708 Quince Orchard, LLC (the “Landlord”), for office and lab
spaces in Gaithersburg, Maryland starting on September 1, 2019. Over the course of years, APT and the Landlord amended the Lease Agreement
in order to expand the square footage and to extend the lease period until November 28, 2034. The agreement included 49,625 square feet
of area. The monthly lease payments under the lease agreement were approximately $ 255 . On March 5, 2024, in connection with the Acquisition,
APT and the Landlord, signed an amendment to the lease agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the leased area will be decreased to 25,894
square feet (the “Remaining Area”), effective as of December 31, 2024. Following the amendment, the revised monthly lease
payments are approximately $ 134 . In exchange, APT was required to pay a relinquished premises fee in an amount equal to $ 1,500 within
10 business days following March 15, 2024 (the “Amendment Effective Date”). In addition, the Company issued the Landlord warrants
(the “Landlord Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise
price of $ 50.00 per share. The Landlord Warrants became exercisable from the date of the receipt of BiomX stockholder approval, which
was obtained on July 9, 2024, and will expire on January 28, 2027. The amendment also included a one-time option to early terminate the
lease agreement on February 28, 2029 with respect to the Remaining Area under certain terms. The execution of the early termination will
require APT to pay a termination fee of $ 3,000 .
APT accounted for the decreased leased
area and the termination option as a modification as it continues to use the area for a period of time after the termination. The modification
occurred before the Acquisition as APT signed the amendment before the Closing Date but was contingent upon the Acquisition. The operating
lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities contemplate the termination option.
Lease expenses recorded in the condensed
statements of operations were $ 2,543 and $ 995 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $ 488 and $ 161
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. In May 2021, APT entered into a Collaboration and Option Agreement
(the “Oyster Agreement”) with Oyster, a wholly owned subsidiary of Viatris Inc., to collaborate on the use of APT’s
proprietary phage technology for the treatment of certain ophthalmic diseases. Upon execution of the Agreement, Oyster paid an upfront
payment of $ 500 to APT, a portion of which APT claims it has spent in the course of performing its obligations under the Oyster Agreement.
In April 2022 and September 2023, APT received letters from Oyster and Viatris Inc. raising concerns about APT’s actions, including
allegations that APT had breached the Oyster Agreement. APT and Oyster have agreed to settle their dispute related to the Oyster Agreement,
including the allegations described in the letters, and to terminate the Oyster Agreement under a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”).
Under the terms of the Term Sheet, APT and Oyster will sign a final settlement agreement, which will include a payment of $ 300 from APT
to Oyster. As of September 30, 2024, the final settlement agreement had not yet been signed. The Company has recorded a provision of $ 300
as other accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
B. In August 2021, the Israeli Innovation Authority (“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 was for the period beginning July 2021 through June 2022. The program does not bear royalties. Through September 30, 2024, 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 was for the period beginning January 2022 through December 2022. Through September 30, 2024, the Company received NIS 1,365 (approximately $ 395 ) from the IIA with respect to this program.
In March 2023, the IIA approved an application for a total budget of NIS 11,283 (approximately $ 3,164 ) in relation to the Company’s cystic fibrosis product candidate. The IIA committed to fund 30 % of the approved budget. The program was for the period beginning January 2023 through December 2023. Through September 30, 2024, the Company received NIS 2,783 (approximately $ 768 ) from the IIA with respect to this program.
According to the agreement with the IIA, excluding the August 2021 program, 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. Starting January 2024, the IIA has notified that the interest has changed to the 12-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as published on the first trading day of each calendar year. 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 September 30, 2024; therefore, no liability was recorded in these condensed consolidated financial statements. IIA grants are recorded as a reduction of R&D expenses, net.
Through September 30, 2024, total grants approved from the IIA aggregated to approximately $ 9,353 (NIS 32,068 ). Through September 30, 2024, the Company had received an aggregate amount of $ 8,003 (NIS 27,423 ) in the form of grants from the IIA. Total grants subject to royalties’ payments aggregated to approximately $ 7,413 . As of September 30, 2024, BiomX Israel had a contingent obligation to the IIA in the amount of approximately $ 8,250 including annual interest of SOFR applicable to dollar deposits.

Under the agreement, BiomX Israel is eligible to receive fees totaling $ 1,411 to cover costs to be incurred by BiomX Israel in conducting the research plan under the collaboration. The fees were paid in four installments according to certain activities under the agreement. In December 2023, the Company completed its obligations with respect to this agreement and the last installment of $ 211 was received on January 18, 2024. The consideration was recorded as a reduction of R&D expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations according to the input model method on a cost-to-cost basis.
NOTE 8 - U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND GRANTS
In 2019, APT entered into a Base Agreement
and Research Project Award (collectively, the “Agreement”) with the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (“USAMRAA”)
and the U.S. Army Medical Research & Development Command (“USAMRDC”) to advance personalized phage therapy from niche
to broad use. Awards under the Agreement are intended to lay the groundwork for rapid advancement of personalized phage therapy to commercialization
for the variety of clinical indications and bacterial pathogens representing un-met needs with a focus on infections with significant
military relevance. The competitive award was granted by USAMRAA and USAMRDC in collaboration with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium
(“MTEC”), a 501(c)(3) biomedical technology consortium working in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. Since Agreement
inception, APT entered into certain modifications to the Agreement to include additional activities and perform pre-clinical activities
to advance the Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis (“DFO”) clinical program. Under the Agreement, MTEC reimburses APT for approved
costs as incurred that are based upon the achievement of certain milestones up to a contract value of $ 36,214 . In September 2024, the
Agreement was amended to extend the period of performance to continue and complete the pre-clinical activities for the DFO clinical program,
which increased the total contract value to $ 39,081 . In conjunction with this Agreement, APT is subject to an assessment fee of an amount
equal up to 3 % of the total funded value of the research project award which should be paid by the Company upon signing the agreement
or the modifications. For the period between the Acquisition and September 30, 2024, the Company received grants of $ 2,895 from MTEC with
respect to the cost reimbursement contract. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $ 1,802 and
$ 849 as a reduction of R&D expenses, net, respectively. The remainder of the consideration the Company is entitled to receive is recorded
as other current assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 14B for information regarding grants received subsequent
to the financial statement date.
NOTE 9 – LONG-TERM DEBT
On August 16, 2021 (the “Closing
Date”), the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”),
with respect to a venture debt facility. Under the Loan Agreement, $ 15,000 was advanced to the Company on the date the Loan Agreement
was executed. The Company was required to make interest only payments through March 1, 2023, and started to then repay the principal balance
and interest in equal monthly installments through September 1, 2025.
The Loan Agreement provided that the
Company could prepay advances under the Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time subject to a prepayment charge equal to 1.0 %
after 24 months but prior to 36 months following the Closing Date. Upon prepayment or repayment of all or any of the term loans under
the Term Loan Facility, the Company was required to pay an end of term charge (“End of Term Charge”) equal to 6.55 % of the
total aggregate amount of the term loans being prepaid or repaid. On March 19, 2024, the Company prepaid the entire balance under the
Term Loan Facility in a total of $ 10,428 . The prepayment included the End of Term Charge of $ 983 and accrued interest of $ 69 . The Company
received from Hercules a waiver regarding the prepayment charge that should have been 1 % out of the prepaid principal amount that equals
to $ 94 .
Interest expense relating to the term
loan, which is included in interest expense in the condensed statements of operations was $ 850 for the nine months ended September 30,
2024. No interest expense was recognized in connection with the term loan for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Interest expense
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2023, was $ 1,884 and $ 574 , respectively.

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
A. Share Capital:
Reverse Stock Split:
On July 9, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio within a range of 1-for-5 and 1-for-10 at such time as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion, at any time before July 9, 2025. On August 8, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
On August 20, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment
with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on August 26, 2024 (the “Effective
Date”). The Company’s Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis on the NYSE American at the opening
of the markets on the Effective Date.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was reduced from 178,958,447 shares to 18,021,173 shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or Units were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of the Company who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares or Units, because they held a number of shares or Units, as applicable, not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio were automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of the Common Stock or Unit, as applicable, to round up to the next whole share. As a result, 125,328 shares of Common Stock were issued. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the Common Stock nor the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or any series of preferred stock.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts of issued and outstanding stock contained in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented. Proportional adjustments were also made to shares underlying outstanding equity awards, warrants and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans and certain existing agreements.
Authorized shares of common stock:
On July 9, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 120,000,000 shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share, to 750,000,000 shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share.
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”).
On March 15, 2024, the Company issued 40,470 and 216,417 Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share, as part of the Acquisition and the March 2024 PIPE, respectively. On July 15,
2024, 109,152 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 10,915,200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Private Investment in Public Equity:
On February 22, 2023, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue and sell an aggregate of 1,599,746 shares of its Common Stock and 1,461,072 pre-funded warrants
(the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a price of $ 2.45 per share and $ 2.44 per Pre-Funded Warrant in a private placement (the “February
2023 PIPE”). The net proceeds from the PIPE were approximately $ 7,152 , after deducting issuance costs of $ 333 . During the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, 533,031 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 533,031 shares of Common Stock for total consideration of $ 6
at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share of Common Stock, and 928,041 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 925,607 shares of Common
Stock through cashless mechanism with no consideration. As of September 30, 2024, there are no outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants.
On March 15, 2024, in connection with
the Acquisition, the Company issued to APT’s former stockholders 916,497 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, 40,470 Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Shares and Merger Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 216,650 shares of the Company Common Stock. See Note
1D for further information.
Concurrently with the consummation of
the Acquisition as described in Note 1D, the Company entered into the March 2024 PIPE, pursuant to which such investors purchased an aggregate
of 216,417 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares (“PIPE Preferred Shares”) and Private Placement Warrants to purchase up
to an aggregate of 10,820,850 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a combined price of $ 231.10 per share. The PIPE Preferred
Shares and the Private Placement Warrants were issued in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements under
the Securities Act for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 50,000 . Each Private Placement Warrant’s exercise price equals to $ 2.31 , subject
to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, became exercisable from the date of the receipt
of BiomX stockholder approval, which was obtained on July 9, 2024, and will expire on July 9, 2026. Under certain circumstances, the Company
may be required to pay to each holder of the Private Placement Warrants (i) an amount in cash equal to the holder’s total purchase
price for the shares of Common Stock purchased (the “Buy-In Price”) or credit such holder’s balance account with the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to
deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such holder’s balance account
with DTC, as applicable, and pay cash to such holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of
(A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) Weighted Average Price (as defined in the Private Placement Warrant) on the trading
day immediately preceding the exercise date.
The Company accounted for the Private
Placement Warrants as liabilities as the Private Placement Warrants are not considered indexed to the entity’s own stock based on
the provision of ASC 815. The Private Placement Warrants will be measured at fair value at inception and in subsequent reporting periods
with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements.
The terms of the PIPE Preferred Shares
are substantially the same as those of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares issued under the Acquisition and were accounted for
as temporary equity at the issuance date and were reclassified as equity. See Note 1D for further information. On July 15, 2024, 109,152
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares that were issued under the Acquisition and the March 2024 PIPE were converted into 10,915,200
shares of the Company’s Common Stock according to beneficial ownership limitations set by certain investors.
In connection therewith, the Company issued
warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Placement Agents (the “Agents Warrants”). See Note
10B for further information.
The Company allocated the total consideration
from the issuance of the 2024 March PIPE first to the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and then to the PIPE Preferred Shares.
The Company had transaction costs of approximately $ 3,317 out of which $ 1,273 is Stock-Based Compensation due to issuance of the Agents
Warrants. The transaction costs were allocated in the same manner as the consideration. Issuance costs which were allocated to the PIPE
Preferred Shares were $ 1,410 and deducted from Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares, and issuance costs that were allocated to the
Private Placement Warrants were $ 1,907 and were expensed immediately.
At-the-Market
Sales Agreement:
In December 2023, pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the SEC on January 2, 2024, the Company entered an At the Market Offering Agreement with H.C.
Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of Common Stock having an
aggregate offering price of up to $ 7,500 from time to time through Wainwright. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company
sold 7,518 shares of Common Stock under this agreement, at an average price of $ 2.71 per share, raising aggregate net proceeds of approximately
$ 19 , after deducting an aggregate commission of $ 1 .

Stock-based Compensation:
On March 15, 2024, the Company issued Agents Warrants to purchase up
to an aggregate of 952,381 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Placement Agents in connection with the March 2024 PIPE.
The exercise price of the Agents Warrants is $ 2.31 per share and they became exercisable at any time after the date of the receipt of
BiomX stockholder approval, which was obtained on July 9, 2024, and will expire on July 9, 2026.
The Company accounted for the Agents Warrants
under the scope of ASC 718-10 “Stock-Based Payment”, (“ASC 718-10”), and treated them as issuance costs of the
March 2024 PIPE as the Company considers these Warrants as consideration for receipt of Private Placement Services.
The Company determined the fair value
of the Agents Warrants using the Black-Scholes model as of March 5, 2024. The main assumptions used are as follows:
Underlying value of Common Stock ($) 2.31
Exercise price ($) 2.31
Expected volatility (%) 100.6
Expected terms (years) 2.32
Risk-free interest rate (%) 4.4
On July 9, 2024, the Company’s stockholders
approved increasing the number of shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2019
Plan”) to be equal to 15 % of the total number of fully-diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the approval date, or 7,800,000
shares.
On September 16, 2024, the Company granted
155,429 RSUs to four senior officers and one service provider. The RSUs were fully vested and issued on the grant date and are not subject
to continued service to the Company. The RSUs’ fair value is the Company’s stock closing price as of the grant date, which
was $ 0.99 . As of September 30, 2024, the Company has no unvested RSUs.
On July 11, 2024, the Board of Directors
approved the grant of 1,567,795 options to 51 employees, six senior officers and seven directors under the 2019 Plan, without consideration.
Options were granted at an exercise price of $ 3.63 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.

NOTE 11 – BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS (EARNINGS) PER SHARE
Basic loss (earnings) per share is
computed on the basis of the net loss (income) for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the period, fully vested warrants with no exercise price for the Company’s Common Stock and fully vested Pre-Funded Warrants
for the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, as the Company considers these shares to be exercised for
little to no additional consideration.
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. Potential shares
of Common Stock equivalents include outstanding stock options and warrants, which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive.
The calculation of diluted loss per
share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, does not include the shares underlying
the following financial instruments because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(USD and NIS in thousands, except share and per
share data)
(unaudited)
NOTE 12 – GOODWILL
Following the APT Acquisition, the Company
recognized goodwill valued at $ 801 after adjustment made during the measurement period as described in Note 1D above. In the third quarter
of 2024, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price resulting in its market capitalization being less than the Company’s
stockholders’ equity. Thus, the Company performed quantitative assessments of the Company’s goodwill. The assessments utilizes
the Company’s market capitalization plus an appropriate control premium. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the
outstanding number of shares of Common Stock by the Company’s stock price. The control premium is determined by utilizing publicly
available data from studies for similar transactions of public companies. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill
impairment of $ 801 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
NOTE 13 – EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
In October 2021, the Company entered into
a Stock Purchase Agreement with a subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd., (“Maruho”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Maruho
shares of Common Stock of the Company and granted Maruho a right of first offer to license its atopic dermatitis product candidate, BX005,
in Japan. The right of first offer was supposed to commence following the availability of results from the Phase 1/2 study which were
expected in 2022. Part of the consideration paid under the agreements, equal to the grant date fair value of the shares issued to Maruho
was attributed to the issuance of shares. 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. In April 2024, following the Acquisition,
the Company decided to pause the development of BX005. As a result, the parties agreed that the right of first offer to license BX005
is no longer applicable. As a result, the Company reversed the full amount of the contract liability and recognized $ 1,976 as Other Income
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a. On October 15, 2024, the Company announced that effective October 25, 2024, the Company’s Units
will be mandatorily separated and the Units will no longer trade on the NYSE American. In the separation, Unit-holders received shares
of Common Stock and warrants underlying their units, which warrants expired on October 28, 2024. The Common Stock continues to trade on
the NYSE American under the symbol “PHGE” with the other existing shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
b. On October 17, 2024, the Company received a payment of $ 600 from MTEC in connection with the Agreement
for reimbursement of approved costs. See Note 8 for further information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References in this Quarterly
Report to “the Company”, “BiomX”, “we”, “us” or “our”, mean BiomX Inc. and
its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise expressly stated or the context indicates otherwise.
The following discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes
thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The analysis of the financial condition and results of operations includes Adaptive
Phage Therapeutics LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly Adaptive Phage Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation), or APT,
from the date that we acquired it on March 15, 2024. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any
forward-looking statement because of various factors discussed in this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
General
We are a clinical stage product
discovery company developing products using both natural and engineered phage technologies designed to target and kill specific harmful
bacteria associated with chronic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, or CF and diabetic foot osteomyelitis, or DFO. Bacteriophage or phage
are bacterial, species-specific, strain-limited viruses that infect, amplify and kill the target bacteria and are considered inert to
mammalian cells. By utilizing proprietary combinations of naturally occurring phage and by creating novel phage using synthetic biology,
we develop phage-based therapies intended to address both large-market and orphan diseases.
Based on the urgency of treating
the infection (whether acute or chronic), the susceptibility of the target bacteria to phage (e.g. the ability to identify a phage cocktail
that would target a broad range of bacterial strains) and other considerations, we offer two phage-based product types:
(1) Fixed
cocktail therapy – in this approach a single product containing a fixed number of selected phage is developed to cover a wide range
of bacterial strains, thus allowing treatment of broad patient populations with the same product. Fixed cocktails are developed using
our proprietary BOLT platform, in which high throughput screening, directed evolution, and bioinformatic approaches are leveraged to
produce an optimal phage cocktail.
(2)
Personalized therapy – in this approach a large library of phage is developed, of which a single optimal phage is personally matched to treat specific patients. Matching optimal phage with patients is carried out using a proprietary phage susceptibility testing, where multiple considerations are analyzed simultaneously – allowing for an efficient screen of the phage library while maintaining short turnaround times.
In our therapeutic programs,
we focus on using phage therapy to target specific strains of pathogenic bacteria that are associated with diseases. Our phage-based product
candidates are developed utilizing our proprietary research and development platform named BOLT. The BOLT platform is unique, employing
cutting edge methodologies and capabilities across disciplines including computational biology, microbiology, synthetic engineering of
phage and their production bacterial hosts, bioanalytical assay development, manufacturing and formulation, to allow agile and efficient
development of natural or engineered phage combinations, or cocktails. The cocktail contains phage with complementary features and is
optimized for multiple characteristics such as broad target host range, ability to prevent resistance, biofilm penetration, stability
and ease of manufacturing.
Our goal is to develop multiple
products based on the ability of phage to precisely target harmful bacteria and on our ability to screen, identify and combine different
phage, both naturally occurring and created using synthetic engineering, to develop these treatments.

On March 6, 2024, we entered
into a merger agreement with APT and certain other parties, as a result of which APT became our wholly-owned subsidiary, effective as
of March 15, 2024, or the Acquisition. The Acquisition was structured as a stock-for-stock transaction whereby all outstanding equity
interests of APT were exchanged in a merger for an aggregate of 9,164,968 shares of BiomX common stock, 40,470 shares of Series X Preferred
Stock, or Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares, convertible upon stockholder approval into 4,047,000 shares of BiomX common stock,
and warrants, or the Merger Warrants, exercisable for 216,650 shares of BiomX common stock. Upon the consummation of the Acquisition,
a successor-in-interest of APT became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BiomX. The Merger Warrants are exercisable at any time after July 9,
2024 at an exercise price of $50.00 per share and will expire on January 28, 2027.
Concurrently with the consummation
of the Acquisition, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the March 2024 PIPE, with certain investors, pursuant to which
such investors purchased an aggregate of 216,417 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
10,820,850 shares of Common Stock, or the Private Placement Warrants, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50 million.
Immediately following the
Acquisition, and without taking into account the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares issued in the March 2024 PIPE, and assuming conversion
of all of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into Common Stock, our stockholders (including holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants,
as defined below) prior to the Acquisition owned approximately 55% of the share capital of the Company and APT’s stockholders prior
to the Acquisition owned approximately 45% of the share capital of the Company.
On July 9, 2024, the stockholder
approved, among other things, the conversion of 256,887 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into up to 25,688,700 shares of Common
stock. Subsequently, on July 15, 2024, 109,152 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 10,915,200 shares of Common
Stock according to beneficial ownership limitations set by certain investors.
On July 9, 2024, the Company’s
stockholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio within a range of 1-for-5 and 1-for-10 at such time as the Board of
Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion, at any time before July 9, 2025. On August 8, 2024, the Board of Directors approved
a 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s shares of Common Stock, or the Reverse Stock Split. On August 20, 2024, the Company
filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect the Reverse Split, which became effective on August
26, 2024, or the Effective Date. The Company’s common stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the NYSE American
at the open of the markets on the Effective Date. Unless otherwise indicated, all issued and outstanding shares amounts in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. Proportional adjustments
also were made to shares underlying outstanding equity awards, warrants and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares, and to the number
of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans and certain existing agreements.
Clinical and Pre-Clinical Developments
Ongoing Programs
Cystic Fibrosis
BX004 is our therapeutic phage
product candidate under development for chronic pulmonary infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or P. aeruginosa , a main
contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with CF. Enhanced resistance to antibiotics develops, particularly in CF patients,
due to extensive drug use consisting of prolonged and repeated broad-spectrum antibiotic courses often beginning in childhood, and leading
to the appearance of multidrug-resistant strains. In preclinical in vitro studies, BX004 was shown to be active against antibiotic resistant
strains of P. aeruginosa and demonstrated the ability to penetrate biofilm, an assemblage of surface-associated microbial cells enclosed
in an extracellular polymeric substance and one of the leading causes for antibiotic resistance.
The Phase 1b/2a trial in CF
patients with chronic respiratory infections caused by P. aeruginosa . is comprised of two parts. The study design is based on recommendations
from the Cystic Fibrosis Therapeutic Development Network.
In February 2023, we
announced positive results from Part 1 of the Phase 1b/2a trial evaluating BX004. Part 1 evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics,
and microbiologic activity of BX004 over a 7-day ascending treatment period in nine CF patients (7 on BX004, 2 on placebo) with chronic
P. aeruginosa pulmonary infection in a single ascending dose and multiple dose design.
Results from Part 1 of the
Phase 1b/2a trial included the following findings: No safety events related to treatment with BX004 occurred; Mean P. aeruginosa colony
forming units, at Day 15 (compared to baseline): -1.42 log (BX004) vs. -0.28 log (placebo). This reduction was seen on top of standard
of care inhaled antibiotics; Phage were detected in all patients treated with BX004 during the dosing period, including in several patients
up to Day 15 (one week after end of therapy); no phage were detected in patients receiving placebo; there was no evidence of treatment-related
resistance to BX004 during or after treatment, compared to placebo; and as expected due to the short duration of treatment, there was
no detectable effect on % predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second, or FEV1.
In November 2023, we announced
positive topline results from Part 2 of the Phase 1b/2a trial evaluating BX004. The objectives of Part 2 of the Phase 1b/2a trial were
to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BX004 in a larger number of CF patients dosed for a longer treatment duration than Part 1 of
the study. In Part 2, 34 CF patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio with 23 CF patients receiving BX004 and 11 patients receiving placebo
via nebulization twice daily for 10 days.
3
Highlights from the Part 2
data of the Phase 1b/2a study included:
● Study
drug was safe and well-tolerated, with no related SAEs (serious adverse events) or related APEs (acute pulmonary exacerbations) to study
drug.
●
In the BX004 arm, 3 out of 21 (14.3%) patients converted to sputum culture negative for P. aeruginosa after 10 days of treatment (including 2 patients after 4 days) compared to 0 out of 10 (0%) in the placebo arm (In patients that had quantitative colony-forming unit levels at study baseline).
●
BX004 vs. placebo showed a clinical effect in a predefined subgroup of patients with reduced baseline lung function (FEV1<70%). Difference between groups at Day 17: relative FEV1 improvement of 5.67% (change from baseline +1.46 vs. -4.21) and +8.87 points in CFQR respiratory symptom scale (change from baseline +2.52 vs. -6.35).
In August 2023, the FDA granted
BX004 Fast Track designation for the treatment of chronic respiratory infections caused by P. aeruginosa bacterial strains in patients
with CF. In addition, in December 2023, BX004 received orphan drug designation from the FDA.
BiomX expects to initiate
a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2b study in CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa pulmonary
infections in the fourth quarter of 2024. The study is designed to enroll approximately 60 patients randomized at a 2:1 ratio to BX004
or placebo. Treatment is expected to be administered via inhalation twice daily for a duration of 8 weeks. The study is designed to monitor
the safety and tolerability of BX004 and is designed to demonstrate improvement in microbiological reduction of P. aeruginosa
burden and evaluation of effects on clinical parameters such as lung function measured by FEV1 and patient reported outcomes. During the
third quarter of 2024, we experienced manufacturing delays for BX004. As a result of these delays, study results are now expected in the
first half of 2026.
BX211 – Treatment of Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis,
or DFO
BX211 is a personalized phage
therapy for the treatment of DFO associated with Staphylococcus aureus, or S. aureus, a bacterium associated with the development and
exacerbation of inflammation in atopic dermatitis. The personalized phage treatment tailors a specific phage selected from a proprietary
phage-bank according to the specific strain of S. aureus biopsied and isolated from each patient. DFO is a bacterial infection of the
bone that usually develops from an infected foot ulcer and is a leading cause of amputation in patients with diabetes. We believe that
scientific literature demonstrating the potential benefit in treating osteomyelitis using phage in animal models as well as numerous successful
compassionate cases using phage therapy to treat DFO patient support our approach of using phage therapy to treat DFO.
The ongoing randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2 trial investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BX211 for subjects with DFO associated
with S. aureus has finished enrollment for a randomized at a 2:1 ratio to BX211 or placebo. BX211 or placebo is designed to be administered
weekly, by topical and IV route at week 1 and by the topical route only at each of weeks 2-12. Over the 12-week treatment period, all
subjects are expected to continue to be treated in accordance with standard of care which will include antibiotic treatment as appropriate.
A first readout of study topline results is expected at week 13 evaluating healing of the wound associated with osteomyelitis, followed
by a second readout at week 52 evaluating amputation rates and resolution of osteomyelitis based on X-ray, clinical assessments, and established
biomarkers (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and C-Reactive Protein). These readouts are expected in the first quarter of 2025 and the first
quarter of 2026, respectively.
Non-CF Bronchiectasis, or NCFB
Chronic P. aeruginosa infections
in NCFB patients are a main contributor to morbidity and mortality in this disease. Pending positive data of BX004 in our cystic fibrosis
Phase 2B study, we expect to look to initiate studies into NCFB as an additional indication for BX004.
National Institutes of Health, or NIH, study
in Cystic Fibrosis
We are supporting a study
conducted by the NIH and The Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group targeting P. Aeruginosa infections in CF patients under
FDA emergency Investigational New Drug allowance. Phase 1b/2, multi-centered, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is assessing
the safety and microbiological activity of a single IV dose of bacteriophage therapy in cystic fibrosis subjects colonized with P. aeruginosa.
4
Programs on hold
Prosthetic Joint Infections, or PJI
Our personalized phage therapy
for treating PJI targets multiple bacterial organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecium.
This treatment was granted Orphan-drug designation by the FDA in July 2020. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have paused development
efforts of this program due to prioritizing resources towards our CF and DFO programs, and we cannot provide guidance on resuming its
development.
Discontinued programs
BX005 – Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis,
or AD
BX005 is our topical phage
product candidate targeting S. aureus. S. aureus is more abundant on the skin of AD patients than on the skin of healthy individuals
and on lesional skin than non-lesional skin. It also increases in abundance, becoming the dominant bacteria, when patients experience
flares. By reducing the load of S. aureus , BX005 is designed to shift the skin microbiome composition to its ‘pre-flare’
state and potentially provide a clinical benefit. In preclinical in vitro studies, BX005 was shown to eradicate over 90% of strains,
including antibiotic resistant strains, from a panel of S. aureus strains (120 strains isolated from skin of subjects from the
U.S. and Europe). On April 8, 2022, the FDA approved the Company’s IND application for BX005.
In 2024, we discontinued
the development of BX005, choosing instead to focus our resources on our Cystic Fibrosis and DFO programs.

R&D expenses, net (net
of grants received from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) and the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”),
and consideration from research collaborations) were $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.6 million
for same period in 2023. The increase of $1.7 million, or 30%, is primarily due to the following factors:
● preparations
for Phase 2b in the clinical trial of our CF product candidate, BX004,
●
an increase in expenses relating to the clinical trial of our DFO product candidate, BX211; and
●
an increase in rent and related expenses following the APT Acquisition.
The increase was partly offset
by higher grants received. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.9 million of MTEC grants, compared
to $0.2 million of IIA grants recorded in the same period in 2023.
General and administrative
expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 2023. The increase of $1.0 million, or 45%, is primarily attributed to a full quarter consolidation of expenses following the Acquisition,
incorporating the combined workforce, increased professional services, and additional subcontractor expenses.
Goodwill impairment was
$0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, following an impairment of the Company’s goodwill that resulted from
the Acquisition. The Company’s market capitalization as of September 30, 2024, was lower in comparison to its stockholders’
equity and triggered an impairment assessment that concluded that the entire goodwill should be impaired.
Other income was $0.1 million
for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and consisted proceeds from a sublease agreement for a portion
of our office space in Ness Ziona, Israel.
Interest expenses were $5,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $574,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $569,000,
or 99%, is due to repayment of the loan under the Loan and Security Agreement, or the Hercules Loan Agreement, with Hercules Capital,
Inc., or Hercules, in March 2024.
Income from change in fair
value of Private Placement Warrants reflects the revaluation that resulted from the accounting of the Private Placement Warrants issued
under the March 2024 PIPE.
There was no material change
to Finance income that impacted earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30,
2023.
Basic and diluted earnings
per share of Common Stock was $0.31 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to loss per share of $1.30 for the three months
ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $1.61 resulted from the revaluation of the Private Placement Warrants. Such increase was partly
offset due to share issuances as part of the Acquisition and the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares’ conversion into shares
of Common Stock.

R&D expenses, net (net
of grants received from IIA and MTEC, and consideration from research collaborations) were $18.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2024, compared to $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $4.3 million, or 31%, is primarily due
to the following factors:
● Increased
expenses relating to the clinical trial of our DFO product candidate, BX211; and
● Increased
expenses relating to the combined workforce and rent expenses following the Acquisition
Such increase was partly offset
by completing the enrollment and follow-up period of patients in the clinical trial of our CF product candidate, BX004. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.8 million of MTEC grants, compared to $1.3 million of IIA grants for the same
period in 2023.
General and administrative expenses were $8.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $2.7 million, or 44%, is primarily
due to issuance costs and legal services expenses related to the Acquisition and the March 2024 PIPE agreement. as well as due to increased
salaries and related expenses resulting from the combined workforce following the Acquisition.
Goodwill impairment was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2024, following an impairment of the Company’s goodwill resulted from the Acquisition. The Company’s market capitalization
as of September 30, 2024, was lower in comparison to its stockholders’ equity and triggered an impairment assessment that concluded
that the entire goodwill should be impaired.
Other income was $2.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $1.9
million, or 633%, is primarily due to the reversion of the contract liability associated with the Company’s AD program which has
been paused.
Interest expenses were $0.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease
of $1.0 million, or 53%, is due to the repayment of the loan under the Loan and Security Agreement in March 2024.
Income from change in fair
value of Private Placement Warrants reflects the revaluation that resulted from the accounting of the Private Placement Warrants issued
under the March 2024 PIPE.

Finance expenses, net were
$1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to Finance income, net of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2023. The increase of $2.1 million resulted mainly from the Private Placement Warrants transaction costs.
Basic loss per share of Common
Stock was $0.27 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.29 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease
in loss per share of $4.02, or 94%, is primarily attributable to an increase in outstanding shares resulting from the share issuance as
part of the Acquisition and the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares’ conversion into shares of Common Stock. In addition, the
income resulting from the Private Placement Warrants revaluation has led to a decreased net loss.
Diluted loss per share of
Common Stock was $2.45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to diluted loss per share of $4.29 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023. The decrease of $1.84 resulted from the increased number of potential shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued upon exercises of the Private Placement Warrants from the March 2024 PIPE.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe our cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits on
hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025. We currently
plan to continue to focus primarily on the development of BX004, our product candidate for treating CF and BX211, our product candidate
for treating DFO. Although we recently completed the 2024 March PIPE, in the future we will likely require or desire additional funds
to support our operating expenses and capital requirements. Accordingly, we are implementing cost cutting measures, and exploring and
expect to further explore, raising such additional funds through public or private equity, debt financing, loans, government or other
grants or collaborative agreements or from other sources, as well as under the 2023 ATM Agreement discussed below. If we are unable to
obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our
business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. If there are increases in operating costs for facilities
expansion, research and development and clinical activity, we will need to use mitigating actions such as to seek additional financing
or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. If certain disruptions due to, for instance, the war with Hamas and Hezbollah,
or Israeli political instability persists and deepens, we could experience an inability to access additional capital, which could in the
future negatively affect our capacity to support our operating expenses and capital requirements. As a result of these factors, management
believes that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $30.7 million, primarily driven by our R&D, general and administrative
expenses, as well as changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $4.0 million, offset by non-cash charges of $23.5 million.
Non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted primarily of income from change in fair value of the Private Placement
Warrants of $24.4 million and income from change in contract liability in amount of $2.0 million resulting from pausing the Company’s
AD program. Additionally, there were depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.9 million, Private Placement Warrants issuance costs
of $0.7 million and Goodwill impairment of $0.8 million. Net changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of a
decrease in trade account payable of $2.7 million, as well as a decrease in other accounts payable of $0.9 million and a decrease in other
current and non-current assets of $0.2 million.
Net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $15.0 million primarily due to a net loss of $20.7 million, mostly due to
our R&D and general and administrative expenses, and due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $4.2 million, offset
by non-cash charges of $1.4 million. Non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted primarily of depreciation
and amortization expenses of $0.7 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $0.6 million and amortization of debt issuance costs
of $0.4 million, partly offset by finance income of $0.3 million. Net changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily
of an increase in other accounts payable of $3.3 million, due to expenses related to conducting the clinical trial of our CF product
candidate, BX004, and an increase in trade account payables of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in other current assets in
the amount of $0.7 million.

Investing Activities
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $0.7 million, mainly consisting of cash and restricted cash acquired
from the Acquisition.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $2.0 million, mainly consisting of proceeds from short-term deposits
of $2.0 million.
We have invested, and plan
to continue to invest, our existing cash in short-term investments in accordance with our investment policy. These investments may include
money market funds and investment securities consisting of U.S. Treasury notes, and high quality, marketable debt instruments of corporations
and government sponsored enterprises. We use foreign exchange contracts (mainly options and forward contracts) to hedge balance sheet
items from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection
with these foreign exchange contracts, we record gains or losses that offset the revaluation of the balance sheet items under financial
income, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding foreign exchange
contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $3.4 million with a fair value asset of $15,000. As of September
30, 2023, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $3.8 million with
a fair value of $33,000.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $39.0 million, mainly consisting of the issuance of Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Shares and the Private Placement Warrants in the March 2024 PIPE in the amount of $20.8 million, net of issuance costs and $28.7
million, respectively. This was partially offset by the prepayment of the long-term debt in the amount of $10.7 million under the Hercules
Loan Agreement.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.2 million, mainly consisting of the issuance of Common Stock under
the Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into in February 2023, of $7.2 million net of issuance costs, partially offset by the repayment
of long-term debt of $2.9 million under the Hercules Loan Agreement.
Under the Hercules Loan Agreement,
Hercules provided the Company with access to a term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $30 million, or the Term Loan Facility,
available in three tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions. The first tranche of $15 million was advanced to us on the date
the Hercules Loan Agreement was executed. The conditions for the second and third tranches were not reached and have expired. We were
required to make interest only payments through March 1, 2023, and started to then repay the principal balance and interest in equal monthly
installments. Interest on the Hercules Loan accrues at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate as reported in The
Wall Street Journal plus 5.70% and (ii) 8.95%. On March 19, 2024, the Company prepaid all the term loan under the Term Loan Facility in
a total of $10,428,000. The prepayment included an end of term charge of $983,000 and accrued interest of $69,000. The Company received
a waiver regarding the prepayment charge that should have been 1% out of the prepaid principal amount, equaling $94,000.
On December 7, 2023, we filed
a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 2, 2024. In addition, on December 7, 2023,
we entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement, or the 2023 ATM Agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, with
Wainwright as manager, pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to
$7.5 million from time to time through Wainwright. We are not obligated to make any sales of Common Stock under the 2023 ATM Agreement.
From January 1, 2024 through November 12, 2024, we issued 7,518 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2023 ATM Agreement for aggregate
gross proceeds of $19 thousand.
On March 15, 2024, concurrently
with the consummation of the Acquisition, we consummated the March 2024 PIPE with existing and new investors, resulting in aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $50 million, in which the investors purchased (i) an aggregate of 216,417 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares,
convertible upon stockholder approval, which was obtained on July 9, 2024, into an aggregate of up to 21,641,700 shares of BiomX common
stock, and (ii) the Private Placement Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,820,850 shares of BiomX common stock, at a combined
purchase price of $231.10 per share of Series X Preferred Stock and an accompanying Private Placement Warrant to purchase 50 shares of
BiomX common stock. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.311 per share and will expire on July 9,
2026.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, 533,031 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 533,031 shares of Common Stock for total consideration of $6,000 at
an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock, and 928,041 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 925,607 shares of Common Stock
through cashless mechanism with no consideration. As of September 30, 2024, there are no outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants.

Outlook
We have accumulated a deficit
of $166.2 million since our inception. To date, we have not generated revenue from our operations, and we do not expect to generate any
significant revenues from sales of products in the next twelve months. Our cash needs may increase in the foreseeable future. We expect
to generate revenues from the sale of licenses to use our technology or products, but in the short and medium terms any amounts generated
are unlikely to exceed our costs of operations. According to our estimates and based on our current operating plans, our liquidity resources
as of September 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits and restricted cash of approximately
$24.7 million will be sufficient to fund our operations into the fourth quarter of 2025.
Consistent with our ongoing
R&D activities, we expect to continue to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future. To the extent we require funds above our
existing liquidity resources in the medium and long term, we plan to fund our operations, as well as other development activities relating
to additional product candidates, through future issuances of public or private equity, including under our 2023 ATM Agreement, issuance
of debt securities, loans, and possibly additional grants from the IIA or other government or non-profit institutions. Our ability to
raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market
demand for our securities, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty
that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to us.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company,
we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls
and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation
of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There has been no change in
our internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during
the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

SEC on August 14, 2024, except as noted below.
Risks Related to Our Operations in Israel
Our research and development
and other significant operations are located in Israel, and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and
military instability in Israel, including the recent war with Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the Middle East.
Our executive offices and
research and development facilities are located in Israel. In addition, the majority of our key employees and all of our officers are
residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, geopolitical, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business.
Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, several armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring Arab
countries, the Hamas (an Islamist terrorist militia and political group that controls the Gaza strip), the Hezbollah (an Islamist terrorist
militia and political group based in Lebanon) and other terrorist organizations active in the region. These conflicts have involved missile
strikes, drone strikes, hostile infiltrations and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which have negatively
affected business conditions in Israel. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and
its trading partners could negatively affect business conditions in Israel in general and our business in particular, and adversely affect
our product development, operations and results of operations.
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists
infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas
also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza
Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians
and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist
organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. In addition, since the commencement of these events,
there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and southern
border (with the Houthi movement in Yemen, as described below). In April 2024 and September 2024, Israel experienced direct attacks from
Iran, involving hundreds of drones and missiles launched towards various parts of the country, mostly targeting military bases. The Israeli
defense systems, aided by international allies, successfully intercepted most of these attacks, minimizing physical damage and casualties.
Such incidents contribute to regional instability and could potentially escalate into broader conflicts with Iran and its proxies in the
Middle East, affecting Israel’s political and trade relations, especially with neighboring countries and global allies. The situation
remains fluid, and the potential for further escalation exists.
In
connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations,
several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service, including 6 employees, none of
whom are management or key employees, who were called up for reserve service, of which 4 have since returned to work full time and their
pre-war military reserve duty. So long as the war continues,
our personnel may be called up for reserve service, whether for extended periods or periodically for short-term periods. Military service
call ups that result in absences of personnel for extended periods of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations.
Since the war broke out on
October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected by this situation, and we have not experienced disruptions to our business
operations. As such, our product and business development activities remain on track. However, the intensity and duration of Israel’s
current war against Hamas is difficult to predict at this stage, as are such war’s economic implications on our business and operations
and on Israel’s economy in general. If the war extends for a long period of time or expands to other fronts, such as Lebanon, Syria
and the West Bank, our operations may be adversely affected.
Any armed conflicts, terrorist
activities or political instability in the region could adversely affect business conditions, could harm our results of operations and
the market price of our Common Stock, and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital.
Our commercial insurance does
not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli
government has in the past covered the reinstatement value of certain damages that were caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we
cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages
incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Finally, political conditions
within Israel may affect our operations. Israel has held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, and prior to October 2023, the
Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political debate and unrest. To
date, these initiatives have been substantially put on hold. Actual or perceived political instability in Israel or any negative changes
in the political environment, may individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Israeli economy and, in turn, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
