NOTE 1 – GENERAL
BiomX Inc., (individually, and together with its subsidiaries, BiomX Ltd, (“BiomX Israel”) and RondinX Ltd., the “Company” or “BiomX”) was incorporated as a blank check company on November 1, 2017, under the laws of the state of Delaware, for the purpose of entering into a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
On October 29, 2019, the Company merged with BiomX Israel, who survived the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BiomX Inc. The Company acquired all outstanding shares of BiomX Israel. In exchange, shareholders of BiomX Israel received 15,069,058 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, representing 65% of the total shares issued and outstanding after the acquisition (“Recapitalization Transaction”). BiomX Israel was deemed the “accounting acquirer” due to the largest ownership interest in the Company. The Company’s shares of Common Stock, units, and warrants are traded on the NYSE American under the symbols PHGE, PHGE.U, and PHGE.WS, respectively.
BiomX is developing both natural and engineered phage cocktails designed to target and destroy harmful bacteria in chronic diseases, focusing its efforts at this point on cystic fibrosis and to a lesser degree on atopic dermatitis. BiomX discovers and validates proprietary bacterial targets and customizes phage compositions against these targets. The Company’s headquarters are located in Ness Ziona, Israel.
To date, the Company has not generated revenue from its operations. Based on the Company’s current cash and commitments, management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund its operations for more than 12 months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and sufficient to fund its operations necessary to continue development activities.
Consistent with its continuing research and development activities, the Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. The Company plans to continue to fund its current operations, as well as other development activities relating to additional product candidates, through future issuances of debt and/or equity securities, loans and possibly additional grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) (See note 6 and 10) and other government institutions. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market demand for the Company’s Common Stock, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to it. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, it may be forced to delay or reduce its research and development programs. If there are further increases in operating costs for facilities expansion, research and development and clinical activity, the Company will need to use mitigating actions such as to seek additional financing or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. On May 24, 2022, the Company announced a corporate restructuring (the “Corporate Restructuring”), intended to extend the Company’s capital resources, while prioritizing the Company’s ongoing cystic fibrosis program and delaying the Company’s atopic dermatitis program. See notes 8A and 10D regarding the PIPE. |
