Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (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 and units are traded on the NYSE American under the symbols PHGE and PHGE.U, respectively. Certain warrants are currently quoted on OTC Pink under the symbol “PHGEW”.
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 1,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 108,208,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50,000. See Note 1D for further information regarding the Acquisition.
| B. | Israel-Hamas war |
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.
To date, the State of Israel continues to be at war with Hamas and in an armed conflict with Hezbollah.
BiomX headquarters and principal offices and most of its operations are located in the State of Israel. 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 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, nor predict how this war will ultimately affect BiomX business and operations or Israel’s economy in general.
| C. | Going concern |
As of June 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $175,826 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 issuances of debt and/or equity securities, loans, and government grants. Management believes current funds will be sufficient to fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2025. However, 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 9,164,968 shares of the Company’s Common Stock,40,470 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,166,497 shares of the Company Common Stock (“Merger Warrants”). Each share of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares is convertible into an aggregate of 1,000 shares 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 $5.00 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. See Note 13a for further information regarding the stockholders’ approval of 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 subsequent to the financial statements date.
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, as of June 30, 2024, the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares were reclassified as equity. See Note 13a for further information regarding the Company’s stockholders meeting.
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 and $133 during the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Purchase Price Allocation
The following sets forth the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of APT which includes adjustments to reflect the fair value of intangible assets acquired as of March 15, 2024:
| Amounts | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 509 |
| Restricted cash | 154 |
| Other current assets | 1,780 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 3,748 |
| Operating lease right-of-use asset | 7,953 |
| IPR&D assets and Goodwill | 15,788 |
| Total assets | 29,932 |
| Trade accounts payable | (3,667) |
| Other accounts payable | (2,595) |
| Operating lease liability | (7,819) |
| Total liabilities | (14,081) |
| Total consideration | 15,851 |
The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred to APT shareholders for the Acquisition:
| Amounts | |
|---|---|
| Common Stock | 3,041 |
| Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares | 12,610 |
| Merger Warrants | 200 |
The fair value of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company was determined using the Company’s closing trading price on the Closing Date adjusted by a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) of 9.4% as a registration statement was filed within 45 days. The fair value of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares was determined using the Company’s closing trading price on the Closing Date adjusted by a DLOM of 14.9% as the conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares to shares of Common Stock was subject to the stockholder approval, which was obtained on July 9, 2024. The Company determined the fair value of the Merger Warrants using the Black-Scholes model as of the Closing Date. The main assumptions used are as follows:
| Underlying value of Common Stock ($) | 0.37 |
|---|---|
| Exercise price ($) | 5.0 |
| Expected volatility (%) | 117.7 |
| Expected terms (years) | 2.87 |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | 4.5 |
The fair value estimate for all identifiable assets and liabilities assumed is preliminary and 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). This preliminary fair value estimate could include assets that are not intended to be used, may be sold, or are intended to be used in a manner other than their best use. Such estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is not expected to exceed one year. Any adjustments identified during the measurement period will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined.
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.
These intangible assets are classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
The actual APT net loss included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is as follows:
| Net loss attributable to APT | 3,624 |
|---|

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. 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 the Israel-Hamas war 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.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
| 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 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 fourth 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.
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 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 FASB issued 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023.
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)
The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||||
| Cash equivalents: | ||||
| Money market funds | 27,847 | - | - | 27,847 |
| Foreign exchange contracts receivable | 17 | - | 17 | |
| 27,847 | 17 | - | 28,864 | |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Contingent consideration | 153 | 153 | ||
| Private Placement Warrants | - | - | 24,887 | 24,887 |
| - | - | 25,040 | 25,040 | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||||

| Liabilities: | ||||
| Contingent consideration | - | - | 155 | 155 |
| - | - | 155 | 155 | |
The changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities, which are measured on a recurring basis are as follows:
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | - | - |
| Private Placement Warrants | 28,745 | - |
| Change in fair value | (3,858) | - |
| Ending balance | 24,887 | - |
Financial instruments with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, other current assets, trade accounts payable and other accounts payable, due to their short-term nature.
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 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 4.13% 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 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 of operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $559 with a fair value asset of $17. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $4,136 with a fair value asset of $256.
The Company determined the fair value of the liabilities for the Private Placement Warrants using the Black-Scholes model, a Level 3 measurement, within the fair value hierarchy.
The main assumptions used are as follows:
| June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |

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 250,000 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The 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 $967 and $546 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $608 and $292 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The net proceeds from the PIPE were approximately $7,152, after deducting issuance costs of $333. During the six months ended June 30, 2024,5,330,306 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 5,330,306 shares of Common Stock for total consideration of $6 at an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock, and 9,280,408 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised into 9,256,064 shares of Common Stock through cashless mechanism withno consideration. As of June 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 9,164,968 shares of the Company’s Common Stock,40,470 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares and 2,166,497 Merger Warrants. 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 108,208,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a combined price of $231.10 per share.

Each Private Placement Warrant’s exercise price equals to $0.2311, 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. See Note 13a for further information regarding the conversion of the PIPE Preferred Shares and the Private Placement Warrants subsequent to the financial statements 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. As of June 30, 2024, the PIPE Preferred Shares were reclassified as equity. See Note 1D for further information.
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 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.

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 six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, does not include the shares underlying the following financial instruments because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

NOTE 12 – 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.
