NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
A. | Description of business: |
BiomX Ltd. (formerly known as MBcure Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in March 2015 and began operations in May 2015. The Company is developing bacteriophage-based therapies for the treatment and prevention of diseases stemming from dysbiosis of the microbiome. On May 11, 2017, the Company changed its name from MBcure Ltd. to BiomX Ltd.
BiomX was formed as an incubator company as part of the FutuRx incubator (the “Incubator” or “FutuRx”), The Company’s R&D program was approved by the Israel Innovation Authority (the “IIA”) at the Israeli Ministry of Economy and until 2017, the majority of BiomX’s funding was from IIA grants and funding by the Incubator, which is supported by the IIA. BiomX continued to apply for and receive IIA grants also after BiomX left the Incubator. The requirements and restrictions for such grants are found in the Israel Encouragement of Research and Development in Industries (the “Research Law”).
On November 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% control and ownership of RondinX Ltd. (“RondinX,” see note 5).
B. | Risk Factors: |
To date, the Company has not generated revenue from its operations. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalent balance and short-term deposits of approximately $30 million, which management believes is sufficient to fund its operations for more than 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements and sufficient to fund its operations necessary to continue development activities of its current proposed products.
Due to continuing R&D activities, the Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. The Company plans to continue to fund its current operations, as well as other development activities relating to additional product candidates, through future issuances of either debt and/or equity securities and possibly additional grants from the IIA and other government institutions. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market demand for the Company’s stock, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to the Company.
C. | Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements: |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as of September 30, 2019, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Operating results for the nine months period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual audited financial statements with the exception of the following:
A. | Leases |
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective application, applying the ASU to leases in place as of the adoption date. Prior periods have not been adjusted.
Arrangements that are determined to be leases at inception are recognized as long-term right-of-use assets ("ROU") and lease liabilities in the interim consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company applies its incremental borrowing rate based on the economic environment at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases or payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In accordance with ASC 360-10, management reviews operating lease ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If so indicated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.
B. | Stock compensation plans: |
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by aligning the measurement and classification guidance, with certain exceptions, to that for share-based payment awards to employees. The amendments expand the scope of the accounting standard for share-based payment awards to include share-based payment awards granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance related to equity-based payments to non-employees. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2019. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
C. | Recent Accounting Standards: |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2020. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,” which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements and is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect that this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18 – “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808),” which clarifies the interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM DEPOSIT
Short-term deposits represent time deposits placed with banks with original maturities of greater than three months but less than one year. Interest earned is recorded as interest income in the interim consolidated statement of operations during the periods for which the Company held short-term deposits.
The Company has deposits denominated in USD held with Bank Hapoalim US and Bank Leumi Israel that bear fixed annual interest of 2.4% to 3.6%.
NOTE 4 – LEASES
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach for all lease arrangements at the beginning period of adoption. Leases existing for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASU 2016-02. The Company leases office space under operating leases. At September 30, 2019, the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases totaled $1,130 thousand each. The impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 was not material to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented.
In May 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement is for five years beginning on June 1, 2017 with an option to extend for an additional five years. Monthly lease payments under the agreement are approximately $16 thousand. As part of the agreement, the Company has obtained a bank guarantee in favor of the property owner in the amount of approximately $94 thousand representing four monthly lease and related payments. Lease expenses recorded in the interim consolidated statements of operations were $96 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018 and $48 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
In September 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement is for five years beginning on September 8, 2019 with an option to extend for an additional period until 14th of July 2027. Monthly lease payments under the agreement are approximately $10 thousand. As part of the agreement, the Company will obtain a bank guarantee in favor of the property owner in the amount of approximately $58 thousand representing four monthly lease and related payments. Lease expenses recorded in the interim consolidated statements of operations were $8 thousand for the period ended on September 30, 2019.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
On November 19, 2017, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of RondinX. In accordance with the share purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% ownership and control of RondinX for consideration valued at US$ 4.5 million. The consideration included the issuance of 250,023 Preferred A Shares, the issuance of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,380 Series A-1 Preferred Shares, and additional contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is based on the attainment of future clinical, developmental, regulatory, commercial and strategic milestones relating to product candidates for treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis ("PSC") or entry into qualifying collaboration agreements with certain third parties and may require the Company to issue 234,834 ordinary shares upon the attainment of certain milestones, as well as make future cash payments and/or issue additional shares of the most senior class of the Company’s shares authorized or outstanding as of the time the payment is due, or a combination of both of up to $32 million of the Company within ten years from the closing of the agreement and/or the entering of agreements with certain third parties or their affiliates that include a qualifying up-front fee and is entered into within three years from the closing of the agreement. The Company has the discretion of determining whether milestone payments will be made in cash or by issuance of shares.
The Company completed the RondinX acquisition on November 27, 2017.
The contingent consideration is accounted for at fair value (level 3). There were no changes in the fair value hierarchy leveling during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE 6 – IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Intangible assets acquired in the RondinX acquisition (see note 5) were determined to be in-process R&D. In accordance with ASC 350-30-35-17A, R&D assets acquired in a business combination are considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. Once the R&D efforts are complete, the Company will determine the useful life of the R&D assets and will amortize these assets accordingly in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2019, the in-process R&D efforts had not yet been completed nor abandoned. Based on management’s analysis, there was no impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A. | During 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company submitted three applications to the IIA for a R&D project for the technological incubators program. The approved budget per year was NIS 2,700,000 (approximately $726 thousand) per application. According to the IIA directives, the IIA transferred to the Company 85% of the approved budget and the rest of the budget was funded by certain shareholders |
During 2018, the Company submitted additional application to the IIA for the Acne project. The application was approved, at an aggregate budget of s NIS 4,221,370 (approximately $1,206 thousand) from which the IIA's participation is up to 30% of the budget. As of September 30 2019, the IIA transferred to the Company the amount of NIS 1,078,981 (approximately $299 thousand), which was recognized in the interim consolidated statement of operations for the period ended September 30, 2019.
According to the agreement with the IIA, the Company will pay royalties of 3% to 3.5% of future sales up to an amount equal to the accumulated grant received including annual interest of LIBOR linked to the Dollar. The Company may be required to pay additional royalties upon the occurrence of certain events as determined by the IIA, that are within the control of the Company. 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 Company’s R&D programs and generating sales. The Company 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, 2019; therefore, no liability was recorded in these consolidated financial statements.
Total research and development income recorded in the interim consolidated statement of operations was $299 thousand and $646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a contingent obligation to the IIA in the amount of approximately 2.2 million including annual interest of LIBOR linked to the USD.
