CHEMOMAB THERAPEUTICS LTD

(FORMERLY ANCHIANO THERAPEUTICS LTD.)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General.

A. Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd. (hereinafter - "the Company") is an Israeli based company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel in September 2011. The Company’s registered office is located in Kiryat Atidim, Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company is a clinical-stage biotech company discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for conditions with high-unmet medical need that involve inflammation and fibrosis.

B. On March 16, 2021, the Company, then known as Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. (“Anchiano”), completed its merger with Chemomab Ltd., a privately-held Israeli limited company (“Chemomab Ltd.”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of December 14, 2020, by and among Anchiano, CMB Acquisition Ltd., an Israeli limited company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Anchiano (“Merger Sub”), and Chemomab Ltd. Upon completion of the merger transaction, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Chemomab Ltd., with Chemomab Ltd. being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Anchiano (the “Merger”), the Company changed its name from “Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.” to “Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.” and the business conducted by Chemomab Ltd. became primarily the business conducted by the Company.

For accounting purposes, Chemomab Ltd. is considered to have acquired Anchiano based upon the terms of the Merger as well as other factors including; (i) Chemomab Ltd.'s former shareholders owned approximately 90% of the combined Company’s outstanding ordinary shares immediately following the closing of the Merger, and (ii) Chemomab Ltd. management holds key management positions of the combined Company. The Merger has been accounted for as an asset acquisition (reverse recapitalization transaction) rather than a business combination, as the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by Chemomab Ltd. do not meet the definition of a business under U.S. GAAP. The net assets acquired in connection with the Merger were recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair market value as of March 16, 2021, the date of completion of the Merger.

Immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger, all preferred shares of Chemomab Ltd. were converted into ordinary shares of Chemomab Ltd. on a one-for-one basis.

In connection with the Merger, and following the effective time of the Merger, the Company effected a reverse share split of the Company’s ordinary shares at a ratio of 4:1 (the “Reverse Split”) and increased the number of ordinary shares underlying each American Depositary Share ("ADS") from 5 to 20. At the effective time of the Merger, each Chemomab Ltd. ordinary share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger automatically converted into the right to receive approximately 12.86 ADSs, each representing 20 Anchiano ordinary shares, plus a warrant to purchase ADSs that may become exercisable only under certain circumstances.

The exchange ratio was calculated by a formula that was determined through arms-length negotiations between the Company and Chemomab Ltd. The combined Company assumed all of the outstanding options of Chemomab Ltd., vested and not vested, under the Chemomab Share Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), with such options representing the right to purchase a number of ADSs equal to approximately 12.86 multiplied by the number of Chemomab Ltd. ordinary shares previously represented by such options.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General. (Cont.)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the exchange ratio and the Reverse Split for all periods presented.

The equity structure reflects the legal acquirer's equity structure. The balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the par value of the outstanding shares of the legal acquirer, including the number of shares issued in the Merger. Any difference is recognized as an adjustment to the additional paid in capital.

Immediately after completion of the Merger, on March 16, 2021, the Company had 8,078,727 ADS issued and outstanding (9,003,357 on a fully diluted basis). In addition, immediately after the Merger, former Chemomab Ltd. former shareholders owned approximately 90% of the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company and the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the Merger owned approximately 10% of the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (all on a fully diluted basis).

On March 16, 2021, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, Anchiano had 65,675,904 ordinary shares outstanding (prior to the effect of the Reverse Split) and a market capitalization of $58.7 million. The estimated fair value of the net assets of Anchiano on March 16, 2021, prior to the Merger, was approximately $2.5 million. The fair value of ordinary shares on the Merger closing date, prior to the Merger, was above the fair value of the Company’s net assets. As the Company’s net assets were predominantly composed of cash offset against current liabilities, the fair value of the Company’s net assets as of March 16, 2021, prior to the Merger, is considered to be the best indicator of the fair value and, therefore, the estimated preliminary purchase consideration.

The following table summarizes the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as of March 16, 2021, immediately prior to completion of the Merger (in thousands):

C. In connection with the Merger, on March 15, 2021, Anchiano entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with certain purchasers for the issuance and sale by Anchiano in a private placement (“Private Placement”) of approximately $45.5 million of its ADSs and accompanying warrants to purchase ADSs. The warrants have an exercise price of approximately $17.35, expire five years from the date of issuance, and if exercised in full will provide additional proceeds to the Company of $4.5 million. The closing of the Private Placement was completed on March 22, 2021.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General. (Cont.)

G.Since January 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically expanded into a worldwide pandemic creating macro-economic uncertainty and disruption in the business and financial markets. Many countries around the world, including Israel, have been taking measures designated to limit the continued spread of the Coronavirus, including the closure of workplaces, restricting travel, prohibiting assembling, closing international borders and quarantining populated areas. The Company's clinical trial sites have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, commencement of the enrollment of Company’s clinical trials of CM-101 in PSC was delayed and the enrollment rate has been affected as well. As a result, the Company extended patients recruiting to additional territories with significant recruitment potential. In addition, after enrollment in these trials, patients may drop out of the Company's trials because of the COVID-19 possible implications.

Based on management’s assessment, the extent to which the coronavirus will further impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. The Company is carefully monitoring the restrictions due to the COVID-19 outbreak and will adjust activities accordingly.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

A.Basis of Preparation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report are unaudited. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021, and its results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other future annual or interim period. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet was derived from the Chemomab Ltd. audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Form 8-K. Since the date of such financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

B.Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Item 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Chemomab Ltd.’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, as filed with the SEC on March 19, 2021. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, particularly with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2021, for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

Chemomab is a clinical-stage biotech company discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for conditions with high unmet medical need that involve inflammation and fibrosis.

Chemomab has pioneered the therapeutic targeting of CCL24, a chemokine that promotes various types of cellular processes that regulate inflammatory and fibrotic activities through the CCR3 receptor. The chemokine is expressed in various types of cells, including immune cells, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. We have developed a novel CCL24 inhibiting product candidate with dual anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity that modulates the complex interplays of both of these inflammatory and fibrotic mechanisms that drive abnormal states of fibrosis and clinical fibrotic diseases. This innovative approach is being developed for difficult to treat rare diseases, also known as orphan indications or diseases, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, or PSC and systemic sclerosis, or SSc, for which patients have no established disease modifying standard of care treatment options.

CM-101, the Company’s lead clinical product candidate, is a first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody that hinders the basic function of the soluble chemokine CCL24, also known as eotaxin-2, as a regulator of major inflammatory and fibrotic pathways. We have demonstrated that CM-101 interferes with the underlying biology of inflammation and fibrosis through a novel and differentiated mechanism of action. Based on these findings, Chemomab is actively advancing CM-101 into Phase 2 clinical studies directed toward three distinct clinical indications including patients with liver, skin, and/or lung fibrosis. We have completed two Phase 1a clinical studies at varying doses using different administration methods, as well as a Phase 1b safety, tolerability and proof-of-mechanism clinical study of CM-101 in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, patients. We are currently conducting a Phase 2a clinical study in PSC, a rare obstructive and cholestatic liver disease, The study is actively recruiting patients in the United Kingdom and Israel and is being expanded to additional territories with significant recruitment potential. In addition, we are planning a Phase 2 study in SSc, expected to initiate early next year, which is a rare autoimmune rheumatic disease characterized by accumulation of collagen, resulting in fibrosis in multiple tissues. Although our primary focus relates to these two rare indications, an additional Phase 2a clinical study is currently enrolling patients and is focused on expanding the understanding of CM-101 in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH. This trial will provide important safety and PK data designed to support the development of CM-101 subcutaneous formulation.

Fibrosis is the abnormal and excessive accumulation of collagen and extracellular matrix, the non-cellular component in all tissues and organs, that provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells. When present in excessive amounts, collagen and extracellular matrix lead to scarring and thickening of connective tissues, affecting tissue properties and potentially leading to organ failure. Fibrosis can occur in many different tissues, including lung, liver, kidney, muscle, skin, and the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a wide array of progressive fibrotic conditions. Fibrosis and inflammation are intrinsically linked. While a healthy inflammatory response is necessary for efficient tissue repair, after injury, an excessive, uncontrolled inflammatory response can lead to tissue fibrosis.

Recent Developments

Appointment of New Executive Officers

On October 25, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved Dr. Dale Pfost’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Simultaneous with the approval of Dr. Pfost’s service as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, he commenced his term as a Class III Director. Dr. Pfost will not be compensated for his service as a Class III director of the Company. Following the commencement of Dr. Pfost’s service as Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Adi Mor ceased her service as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer but continues to serve in her role as Chief Scientific Officer of the Company and a member of the board of directors.

Additionally, on November 4, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the appointment of Mr. Donald Marvin as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Following the commencement of Mr. Marvin’s service as Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Sigal Fattal ceased her service as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer but continues to serve the Company in her capacity as a senior consultant to Donald Marvin.

Shelf Registration Statement and ATM Offering

On April 30, 2021, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (File No. 333-255658) for the issuance and sale by us of up to $200,000,000 of our ordinary shares, ADSs, debt securities, warrants and units comprising any combination of the foregoing securities (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). On the same date, we entered into a sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Sales Agreement” and “Cantor”, respectively), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, at our option, through or to Cantor, up to an aggregate of $75,000,000 of our ADSs. Any ADSs to be offered and sold under the Sales Agreement will be issued and sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or if specified by us, by any other method permitted by law. During the period April 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 we sold an aggregate of 699,806 ADSs pursuant to the Sales Agreement for total gross consideration of $15.9 million.

Merger Transaction with Chemomab Ltd.

On March 16, 2021, we consummated a merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated December 14, 2020, by and among us (formerly known as Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.), CMB Acquisition Ltd., an Israeli limited company and our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub”), and Chemomab Ltd., an Israeli limited company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Chemomab Ltd., with Chemomab Ltd. surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Merger, on March 16, 2021, we changed our name from Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. to Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.

In connection with the Merger, on March 15, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with certain purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to sell approximately $45.5 million of our ADSs in a private placement transaction, or the Private Placement. The Private Placement closed on March 22, 2021, at which time we sold to the purchasers 2,619,270 ADSs together with warrants to purchase up to 261,929 ADSs at an exercise price of $17.35 per ADS. The warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance, and if exercised in full, will provide proceeds of approximately $4.5 million.

Impact of COVID-19

Since January 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically expanded into a worldwide pandemic, creating macro-economic uncertainty and disruption in the business and financial markets. Many countries around the world, including Israel, have been taking measures designated to limit the continued spread of the coronavirus, including the closure of workplaces, restricting travel, prohibiting assembling, closing international borders and quarantining populated areas. Our clinical trial sites have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, commencement of the enrollment in our clinical trials of CM-101 in PSC was delayed, and the enrollment rate has been affected as well. As a result, we expanded our patient recruiting efforts to additional territories. In addition, after enrollment in these trials, patients might still drop out because of possible COVID-19 implications.

Based on management’s assessment, the extent to which the coronavirus will further impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. We are carefully monitoring the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will adjust activities accordingly.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated on September 22, 2011 under the laws of the State of Israel. In March 2021, in connection with the Merger, we changed our name from Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. to Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.

The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus. We have included our website address as an inactive textual reference only.

Components of Operating Results

Preliminary Note: References to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Chemomab” in this “Components of Operating Results” and in the “Results of Operations” below refer to the Company after the Merger, and, with respect to historical periods preceding the Merger, refer to Chemomab Ltd., whose business became the business of the Company upon consummation of the Merger.

Revenues

To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to receive any revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize a product candidate, or until we receive revenue from a collaboration such as a co-development or out-licensing agreement. There can be no assurance that we will receive such regulatory approvals, and if any product candidate is approved, that we will be successful in commercializing it.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates. These expenses include:

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations or contract manufacturing organizations, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other scientific development services;

manufacturing scale-up expenses and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials;

employee-related expenses, including salaries, related benefits, travel and share-based compensation expenses for employees engaged in research and development functions, as well as external costs, such as fees paid to outside consultants engaged in such activities;

license maintenance fees and milestone fees incurred in connection with various license agreements;

costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements; and

depreciation and other expenses.

We recognize external development costs based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers.

We do not allocate employee costs or facility expenses, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified. We use our internal resources primarily to oversee research, as well as for managing our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. Our employees work across multiple programs and, therefore, it does not track their costs by program.

Research and development activities are fundamental to our business. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially over the next several quarters and years as we continue to advance the development of our product candidates. We also expect to incur additional expenses related to milestone and royalty payments payable to third parties with whom we have entered into license agreements to acquire the rights to its product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, related benefits and share-based compensation expenses for personnel in executive and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting and audit services.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase headcount and general activities to support our continued research activities and development of our product candidates as well as expanding our presence in the US. We also anticipate that we will incur increased headcount, accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, director and officer insurance costs, as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with being a public company. We expect that the additional costs for these services will substantially increase our general and administrative expenses. Additionally, if and when we believe that regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, we expect to incur an increase in payroll and related expenses as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, especially as it relates to the sales and marketing of any product candidate.

Our results of operations have varied in the past and can be expected to vary in the future due to numerous factors. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 44%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased clinical and pre-clinical activities.

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 15%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased clinical and pre-clinical activities.

14


General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 623%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to completion of the Merger, recruiting and additional expenses incurred as a result of becoming a public company.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.8 million, or 465%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to completion of the Merger, recruiting, share based expenses and additional expenses incurred as a result of becoming a public company.

Financing expenses (income), net

Financing expenses (income), net increased by approximately $78 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from the comparable period of 2020.

Financing expenses (income), net increased by approximately $129 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from the comparable period of 2020.

Financing expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily related to foreign currency exchange rate loss/gain.

Financing expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily related to foreign currency exchange rate loss/gain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have not generated any revenue and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations, resulting in an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2021 of $31.1 million. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from the sale of our ADSs, and, prior to the Merger, other equity securities. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation.

During the period April 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 we sold an aggregate of 699,806 ADSs pursuant to the Sales Agreement for total gross consideration of $15.9 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had an aggregate of approximately $64.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits.

Developing product candidates, conducting clinical trials and commercializing products are expensive, and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives. We believe that our existing cash resources, including from the ADSs sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements approximately through mid 2023. Nevertheless, we will require significant additional financing in the future to fund our operations, including if and when we progress into additional clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates and commercialize the same. We believe that we will need to raise significant additional funds before we have any cash flow from operations, if at all. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the progress and costs of our preclinical studies, clinical trials and other research and development activities;

the scope, prioritization and number of our clinical trials and other research and development programs;

the amount of revenues and contributions we receive under future licensing, development and commercialization arrangements with respect to our product candidates;

the costs of the development and expansion of our operational infrastructure;

the costs and timing of obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

the costs and timing of securing manufacturing arrangements for clinical or commercial production;

the costs of contracting with third parties to provide sales and marketing capabilities for us;

the costs of acquiring or undertaking development and commercialization efforts for any future products, product candidates or platforms;

the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses; and

any cost that we may incur under future in- and out-licensing arrangements relating to our product candidates.

15


We currently do not have any commitments for future external funding. In the future, we will need to raise additional funds, and we may decide to raise additional funds even before we need such funds if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. Until we can generate significant recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financings, credit facilities or by out-licensing applications of our product candidates. The sale of equity or convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our existing shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also subject us to covenants that restrict our operations. We cannot be certain that additional funding, whether through grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, financings, credit facilities or out-licensing arrangements, will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If sufficient funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to, one or more applications of our product candidates, or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain potential products that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.

Critical Accounting Policies

Chemomab’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The preparation of Chemomab’s financial statements and related disclosures requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in Chemomab’s financial statements. Chemomab bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Chemomab evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Chemomab’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While Chemomab’s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to Chemomab’s financial statements, Chemomab believes that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

We apply Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee options under Chemomab’s option plans based on estimated fair values.

ASC 718-10 requires that we estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in Chemomab’s statements of comprehensive loss. Chemomab recognizes share-based award forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate by applying a forfeiture rate.

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. We adopted these amendments on January 1, 2019.

We recognize compensation expenses for the fair value of non-employee awards over the requisite service period of each award.

17


We estimate the fair value of options granted as equity awards using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Chemomab determines the fair value per share of the underlying stock by taking into consideration its most recent sales of stock, as well as additional factors that Chemomab deems relevant. Chemomab’s board determined the fair value of ordinary shares based on valuations performed using the Option Pricing Method subject to relevant facts and circumstances. Chemomab has historically been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information of its stock. Expected volatility is estimated based on volatility of similar companies in the biotechnology sector. Chemomab has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated for options granted to employees and directors using the “simplified” method. Grants to non-employees are based on the contractual term. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the options granted and the results of operations of Chemomab.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We are an emerging growth company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation 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 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We consummated the Merger on March 16, 2021, which has been accounted for as a reverse capitalization for accounting purposes, and, upon consummation of the Merger, we reconstituted our Board of Directors and our senior management team. The Company’s management has been in the process of strengthening the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, including adopting new policies and procedures appropriate to the Company’s current business and management team. Management intends to complete its assessment for inclusion in our 2021 Annual Report. The foregoing actions are being taken solely in connection with the changes effected in connection with the Merger and not as the result of any material weakness or deficiency in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Our management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the information set forth in “Risk Factors” in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 14, 2021.
