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 , par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), are traded on the NYSE American under the symbol PHGE.

  

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 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 in Note 1D.

 

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”), effective on August 26, 2024. See Note 9A 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, and Iran attacked military and civilian targets in Israel, both directly and through proxies such as the Houthi movement in Yemen, armed groups in Iraq and other terrorist organizations. Additionally, following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Israel has conducted limited military operations targeting certain Syrian military assets, Iranian military assets and infrastructure linked to Hezbollah and other Iran-supported groups. Although a ceasefire agreement has been reached with Lebanon (with respect to Hezbollah) there is no assurance that this agreement will be upheld. Military activity and hostilities continue to exist at varying levels of intensity, and the situation remains volatile, with the potential for escalation into a broader regional conflict involving additional terrorist organizations and possibly other countries. Furthermore, the fall of the Assad regime in Syria may create additional geopolitical instability in the region.

 

BiomX headquarters are located in Ness Ziona, Israel, as well as 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, since this is an event beyond the Company’s control, its continuation or cessation may affect our expectations. The Company continues to monitor its ongoing activities and will make any needed adjustments to ensure continuity of its business.

  C. Going concern

 

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and incurred an accumulated deficit of $188,356 as of March 31, 2025. 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 has a pipeline that includes two Phase 2 assets each aimed at treating serious infections with unmet medical needs. See further information regarding the consideration transferred to APT’s former stockholders in Note 9A.

 

The Acquisition-related transaction costs were accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs were incurred. The Company incurred transaction costs of $741 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which were included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
