Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the board of directors of Biosight Ltd.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Biosight Ltd. and its subsidiary (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in redeemable convertible preferred shares and of capital deficiency, and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1b to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not derived income from its activities and has negative cash flows from operating activities and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1b. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

 

a.Biosight Ltd. (hereinafter – the “Company”) is an Israeli company incorporated in 1999.

 

The Company is a Phase 2 clinical stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics for hematological malignancies and disorders.

 

Biosight’s lead product, BST-236 (INN aspacytarabine), is a proprietary anti-metabolite designed to enable high-dose therapy with reduced systemic toxicity.

 

In August 2018, the Company initiated a Phase 2b clinical trial (“BST-002”) as a single agent therapy for first-line treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In 2021, enrollment of the patients participating in the study was completed.

 

In July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the French Study Group of the European Myelodysplastic Syndrome Cooperative Group for a clinical trial collaboration (“BST-003”). Pursuant to the agreement, a Phase 2 study will be conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of BST-236 as a single-agent, second-line treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory MDS or AML and are medically unfit for standard chemotherapy treatments. The first patient in BST-003 was enrolled in August 2021.

 

In November 2021, an additional Phase 2 study was launched (“BST-004”) to test for safety and efficacy of BST-236 as a single-agent, second-line treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory MDS or AML and are medically unfit for standard chemotherapy treatments. Enrollment of the patients participating in the study was completed.

 

In November 2022, a Phase 1/2 trial (“BST-005”) was launched, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BST-236 in combination with an additional drug, Venetoclax, in newly-diagnosed AML patients.

 

b.Since the Company is engaged in research and development activities, it has not derived income from its activities and has incurred accumulated losses in the amount of $61.3 million through December 31, 2022 and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company’s management is of the opinion that as of the date these financial statements are available to be issued its available funds are not sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for the following twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in the public or private equity markets, government grants or capital inflows from strategic partnerships, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities, general and administrative expenses and working capital through fund raising. However, there is no certainty about the Company’s ability to obtain such funding.

 

The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. If the Company does not raise the requisite funds, it will need to curtail or cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

c.On April 21, 2021, the Company founded Biosight Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States (the “Subsidiary”), formed in the State of Delaware.

 

d.On July 4, 2021, Biosight entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2021 Merger Agreement”) with Advaxis, Inc. (“Advaxis”). Under the terms of the agreement, Biosight would have become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advaxis (the “2021 Merger”). On December 30, 2021, Advaxis notified the Company that it failed to approve a shareholders’ resolution regarding a reverse split of Advaxis’ ordinary shares, which was a prerequisite to the 2021 Merger, and therefore the transaction could not be completed.

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued):

 

e.Merger agreement with Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2023 Merger Agreement”) with Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ayala”) and Advaxis Israel Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayala (“Advaxis Israel”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala and Advaxis Israel will cease to exist (the “2023 Merger”).

 

At the effective time of the 2023 Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Company’s share, par value NIS 0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for 1.82285 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock of Ayala.

 

Under the terms of the 2023 Merger Agreement, upon completion of the 2023 Merger, ownership of the combined company will be split, with 55% ownership going to Company’s shareholders and 45% going to Ayala’s stockholders.

 

The closing of the 2023 Merger is subject to regulatory and other conditions, including approval of Company’s shareholders. The shareholders of the Company approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement on August 13, 2023.

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

a.Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

b.Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure 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 may differ from those estimates. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the fair value of share-based compensation and warrants, as well as the value of clinical trial accruals.

 

c.Principles of consolidation and presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

d.Functional currency

 

The U.S. dollar (“dollar”) is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Subsidiary are conducted. Almost all Company operational expenses are in dollars and the Company’s financing has been provided in dollars. Accordingly, the functional currency of the Company is the dollar.

 

Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-dollar transactions and other items in the statements of operations (indicated below), the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions - exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation and amortization, etc.) - historical exchange rates. Currency transaction gains and losses are presented in financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

e.Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers as cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

 

f.Property and equipment

 

1)Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
   
2)The Company’s property and equipment are depreciated by the straight-line method based on their estimated useful life.
   
3)Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

 

Laboratory equipment 7-10 years
Computers and software 3 years

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term, or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

 

g.Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances present an indication of impairment. If the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized. The assets would be written down to their estimated fair values, calculated based on the present value of expected future cash flows (discounted cash flows), or some other fair value measure.

 

The Company did not recognize an impairment loss for its long-lived assets.

 

h.Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases according to ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and the classification of that lease at inception. The Company elected the practical expedient for lease agreements with a term of twelve months or less and does not recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities in respect of those agreements. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.

 

An ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. An ROU asset is measured at lease commencement date based on the discounted present value of the remaining lease payments, plus any initial direct costs incurred and prepaid lease payments, excluding lease incentives. The lease liability is measured at lease commencement date based on the discounted present value of the remaining lease payments. The implicit rate within the operating leases is generally not determinable, therefore the Company uses the Incremental Borrowing Rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s IBR is estimated to approximate the interest rate for collateralized borrowing with similar terms and payments and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Certain leases include options to extend the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the option.

 

The Company recognizes the lease payments of operating lease in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

i.Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the financial statements, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

 

Management applies the guidance in ASC 450-20-25 when assessing losses resulting from contingencies. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is recorded as accrued expenses in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material are disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees are disclosed.

 

j.Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s preferred shares have voting rights, may be converted into ordinary shares, and are prioritized over ordinary shares in case of dividend or redemption.

 

When the Company issues preferred shares, it considers the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) in order to determine whether the preferred share 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’s redeemable convertible preferred shares are not mandatorily or currently redeemable. However, they include a liquidation or deemed liquidation events that would constitute a redemption event that is outside of the Company’s control. As such, all shares of redeemable preferred shares have been presented outside of permanent equity.

 

The Company’s issued financial instruments (warrants) are in the scope of ASC 480, mainly since they are exercisable into redeemable convertible preferred shares which their redemption is outside of the Company’s control. For further details see Note 6 regarding warrants to purchase preferred shares.

 

k.Share-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for employees’ and directors’ share-based payment awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

 

The Company elected to recognize compensation costs for awards conditioned only on continued service that have a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method based on the multiple-option award approach.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

l.Employee severance benefits

 

The Company is required to make severance payments upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain circumstances.

 

In accordance with the current employment terms with all of its employees (Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963) located in Israel, the Company makes regular deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, with certain insurance companies for accounts controlled by each applicable employee in order to secure the employee’s full retirement benefit obligation. The Company is relieved from any severance pay liability with respect to each such employee after it makes the payments on behalf of the employee. The liability accrued in respect of these employees and the amounts funded, as of the respective agreement dates, are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, as the amounts funded are not under the control and management of the Company and the pension or severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the applicable insurance companies.

 

The amounts of severance payment expenses were $73 and $80 and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

m.Research and development costs

 

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of clinical trials, clinical trial supplies, salaries, share-based compensation expenses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, lab expenses, consumable equipment and consulting fees. All costs associated with research and developments are expensed as incurred.

 

Grants received from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for approved research and development projects are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs incurred and included as a deduction from research and development expenses. See note 5.

 

n.Clinical trial accruals

 

Clinical trial expenses are charged to research and development expense as incurred. The Company accrues for expenses resulting from obligations under contracts with clinical research organizations (CROs). The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate trial expense in the financial statements by matching the appropriate expenses with the period in which services and efforts are expended. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, the payments are recorded as other current assets, which will be recognized as expenses as services are rendered.

 

o.Income taxes:

 

1)Deferred taxes

 

Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Given the Company’s losses, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

2)Uncertainty in income tax

 

The Company follows a two-step approach in recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on technical merits. If this threshold is met, the second step is to measure the tax position as the largest amount that has more than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

p.Segment reporting

 

An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company operates in one operating segment.

 

q.Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) includes no items other than net income (loss).

 

r.Fair value measurement

 

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
     
  Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

 

s.Concentration of credit risks

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts. Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits are deposited with major banks in the U.S. and Israel. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is low.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASE

 

The Company leases a research and development facility in Israel and vehicles under several lease agreements. The lease agreement for the facility in Israel is linked to the Israeli consumer price index (“CPI”). The lease began on March 10, 2019 for a period of twelve months, with an option to extend the lease for three additional periods of twelve months. The Company has exercised all three options to extend the lease, which extended the lease term to the maximum date of March 31, 2023.

 

In March 2023, the company signed a short term office service agreement for one year. According to the agreement, the annual office rent is $81.5.

 

In addition, the Company entered into several operating lease agreements in connection with the leasing of its vehicles, the last of which was entered in 2020. The lease periods are usually three years with the payments being linked to the Israeli CPI.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS:

 

The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the IIA on proceeds from the sale of products developed from research and development activities that were funded, partially, by grants from the IIA.

 

Under the terms of the funding arrangements with the IIA, royalties of 3% are payable on the sale of products developed from product candidates funded by the IIA, which payments shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 100% of the amount of the grant received (dollar linked(, plus interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR.

 

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for LIBOR after 2021. Even though the IIA has not declared the alternative benchmark rate to replace LIBOR, the Company does not expect it will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

The Company did not receive any grants from the IIA for the years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

 

At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured. The total amount that was received through December 31, 2022 was $2,350.

NOTE 6– WARRANTS:

 

a.Warrants for preferred shares were issued to investors as part of the issuance of Preferred B Shares, Preferred B-1 Shares and Preferred C Shares (see Note 9). In March 2020, all Preferred B Warrants and Preferred B-1 Warrants were replaced with Preferred C Warrants.

 

b.Since the warrants are convertible into Preferred Shares, which have a redemption feature, the warrants are within the scope of ASC 480 and are classified as liabilities. For subsequent periods, the warrants are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, in accordance with ASC 480-10-35-5.

 

Accordingly, proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares and warrants were initially allocated to warrants according to their fair value, with the rest of the consideration being allocated to preferred shares.

 

c.The fair value of the warrants was determined according to the option-price method (“OPM”) as part of each investment round under the following assumptions:

 

   December 31 
   2022   2021 
Expected volatility   87.36%   74.34%

Balance at the end of the year   2,236    12,697 

 

e.As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 495,730 outstanding Preferred C warrants. Warrants are exercisable to preferred C Shares at a price per share of either: (a) $26.91 in case the warrant was initially issued as a Preferred C warrant, or; (b) $21.528 in case the warrant was initially a Preferred B warrant or Preferred B-1 warrant which was converted into a Preferred C warrant.

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the holders of all issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Shares and outstanding warrants for Series C Preferred Shares of the Company, have executed a waiver that, subject to and contingent upon the closing of the Merger under the Merger Agreement, any warrants held by such holder(s) which have not been exercised prior to the closing of the Merger, shall expire, lapse and become of no force or effect, effective as of immediately prior to such closing.

b.Rights of the Company’s Preferred Shares:

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, preferred shares are entitled to the following rights:

 

i.Voting – Each outstanding Preferred Share is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Share is convertible to.

 

ii.Dividends – Preferred shares are entitled to non-compounded dividends at a rate of 8% per year for Preferred C Shares, and 7% for all other Preferred Share classes, on the original price of the preferred share, from and after the date of the issuance of such Preferred Share (the “Preferred Dividend Preference”). The Preferred Dividend Preference shall accrue, whether or not declared, but shall be payable only when, as, and if dividends are being declared and distributed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Since inception, the Company has not declared any dividends.

 

After paying the preference amounts as detailed above , in accordance with the distribution preference - to the holders of the Preferred C Shares, to the holders of the Preferred B Shares , and to holders of the Preferred A Shares, any remaining distributable proceeds shall be distributed among all holders of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, parri-passu and pro rata, in proportion to their holdings of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, on an as-converted basis, provided however that the Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on Preferred B Shares, Preferred A Shares and/or Ordinary Shares (other than dividends on Ordinary Shares payable in Ordinary Shares) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Articles of Association of the Company) the holders of the Preferred C Shares, Preferred B Shares and Preferred A Shares then outstanding shall simultaneously receive, a dividend of equal amount on each outstanding Ordinary Shares, on as converted basis.

NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES (continued):

 

Preference upon liquidation – Preferred shares are entitled to be paid or distributed out of the proceeds available for distribution to shareholders, upon liquidation, the following amount: (a) the original price of the preferred share; (b) (preferred C shares only) an annual compounded interest at the rate of 8%; (c) any declared but unpaid dividends; less (d) any dividends paid. Each class receives preference according to seniority.

 

After paying the preference amounts as detailed above, any remaining distributable proceeds shall be distributed among all holders of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, parri-passu and pro rata, in proportion to their holdings of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, on an as-converted basis.

 

In connection with the 2023 Merger Agreement, the holders of all issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Shares have executed a waiver, subject to and contingent upon the closing of the Merger under the Merger Agreement, acknowledging that (a) the contemplated Merger does not qualify as a Dilutive Issuance, a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event for any intent or purpose, whether under the Articles of the Company, any applicable agreement, or otherwise, and (b) therefore no Preferential Rights will apply to or be triggered by the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated in connection therewith, and further waive any claims or rights it or any of its Affiliates may have, now or in the future against the Company, Ayala and Advaxis Israel, or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with: (i) the eligibility (or the lack thereof) of such holder(s) to any Preferential Rights in connection with the Merger, whether under the Articles, any agreement to which such holder(s) are a party, or otherwise, and (ii) the fact that the Merger shall not constitute a Dilutive Issuance, a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event, whether pursuant to or for purpose of the Articles, including without limitation Articles 8.3.2 or 8.5 thereof, any agreement to which such holder(s) are a party, or otherwise.

 

iii.Conversion – Preferred shares may be converted into Ordinary Shares, either voluntarily upon the written election of the shareholder, or automatically upon an IPO with aggregate proceeds of at least US$50,000 thousand and a pre-money valuation of at least US$150,000 thousand (“qualified IPO”) or at the discretion of the Preferred majority.

 

The applicable conversion price in the case of a conversion is the original purchase price of the preferred share.

 

iv.The Preferred shares have certain anti-dilution protection. According to the anti-dilution rights, the conversion price then in effect for such Preferred share shall be reduced, concurrently, for no additional consideration in an event the Company issues new securities for an effective price which is less than the applicable conversion price then in effect for each Preferred share.

 

c.The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred shares are not mandatorily or currently redeemable. However, they include a liquidation or deemed liquidation events that would constitute a redemption event that is outside of the Company’s control.

 

Redeemable Shares are considered to be temporary equity and are therefore presented as part of the Company’s temporary equity between liabilities and permanent equity.

b.Share Based Compensation

 

Equity incentive plan:

 

On June 28, 2009 the Company’s shareholders approved an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”). As of December 31, 2022, 77,876 shares remain available for grant under the Plan.

 

The fair value of options granted during 2022 and 2021 was $2,292 and $976, respectively.

 

Options granted to employees and directors:

 

In the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company granted options as follows:

 

   Year ended December 31, 2022
   Number of options   Exercise price   Vesting period 

 

Expiration

Options for Employees and Directors   61,881   $5.77   4 years  10 years

   Number of options   Exercise price   Vesting period 

 

Expiration

Options for Employees and Directors:   73,618   $15.54   4 years  10 years

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The volatility is based on a combination of historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as companies in the industry, by statistical analysis of weekly share pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the options granted in dollar terms. The Company’s management uses the expected term of each option as its expected life. The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that the granted options are expected to remain outstanding.

 

The underlying data used for computing the fair value of the options are as follows:

 

   Year ended December 31 
   2022   2021 
Value of ordinary share  $23.22-24.59   $42.54 
Expected volatility   79.9%   49.7%-86.7%

NOTE 8 - SHARE CAPITAL (continued):

 

On November 14, 2021, the Company entered into a separation agreement with the aforementioned director . Pursuant to the terms of the separation agreement, the director received a full acceleration of 14,694 options which would have been forfeited otherwise. The acceleration was recognized as a “Type III” modification; therefore, upon approval of the separation agreement, the Company recognized the incremental costs of unvested options based on the fair value of the options on such date. The total expense amount was $395, which was classified as additional share-based compensation under research and development costs.

 

On October 18, 2021, the Company issued 14,984 options to employees and directors to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value NIS 0.01 each, at an exercise price of $15.54 per share (the “Options”).

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAX:

 

a.Basis for taxation

 

Income from Israel was taxed at the corporate tax rate of 23%.

 

As of December 31, 2022, Biosight had approximately $50.6 million net carry forward tax losses in Israel, which are available to reduce future taxable income with no limited period of use.

 

The Subsidiary is taxed according to the corporate U.S. tax rate which is 21%.

 

The Subsidiary did not record a provision for income tax as the Subsidiary has net operating losses since it was initially founded. Under U.S. tax laws, subject to certain limitations, carryforward tax losses expire 20 years after the year in which incurred. In the case of the Subsidiary, subject to potential limitations in accordance with the relevant law, the net loss carry forward will expire in the years 2041 through 2042.

 

b.Income (loss) before income taxes is composed of the following:

 

   Year ended December 31, 
   2022   2021 
Israel   316    (22,768)
US   (2)   (231)

Biosight has tax assessments that are considered to be final through tax year 2014.

 

The Subsidiary does not have tax assessments which are considered to be final.

 

d.Reconciliation of theoretical tax expenses to actual expenses

e.Uncertain tax positions

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company does not have a provision for uncertain tax positions.

 

f.Deferred taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

The Company plans to amend its Articles of Association in order to enable the Company to fulfill its undertakings and obligations under the SAFE. Such amendments include an increase of the registered share capital of the Company, amendment of its anti-dilution rights and liquidation rights and change of the structure and nomination rights of the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the terms of the SAFE, subject to certain events specified therein.

 

The SAFE was approved by shareholders of the Company on August 13, 2023.

 

In connection with the SAFE, the Eligible Shareholders (as such term is defined in the Articles of Association of the Company), have agreed that all shareholders of the Company, whether such are deemed Eligible Shareholders or not, will be offered by the Company and shall be entitled to participate in the transactions contemplated under the SAFE as if all shareholders of the Company are Eligible Shareholders, and waived any claims it may have in connection with the reduction of the aggregate investment amount that is available to the exercise of its Participation Rights, subject to conditions set forth therein.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

 

a.Biosight Ltd. (hereinafter - the “Company”) is an Israeli company incorporated in 1999.

 

The Company is a Phase 2 clinical stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics for hematological malignancies and disorders.

 

Biosight’s lead product, BST-236 (INN aspacytarabine), is a proprietary anti-metabolite designed to enable high-dose therapy with reduced systemic toxicity.

 

In August 2018, the Company initiated a Phase 2b clinical trial (“BST-002”) as a single agent therapy for first-line treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In 2021, enrollment of the patients participating in the study was completed.

 

In July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the French Study Group of the European Myelodysplastic Syndrome Cooperative Group for a clinical trial collaboration (“BST-003”). Pursuant to the agreement, a Phase 2 study will be conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of BST-236 as a single-agent, second-line treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory MDS or AML and are medically unfit for standard chemotherapy treatments. The first patient in BST-003 was enrolled in August 2021.

 

In November 2021, an additional Phase 2 study was launched (“BST-004”) to test for safety and efficacy of BST-236 as a single-agent, second-line treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory MDS or AML and are medically unfit for standard chemotherapy treatments. Enrollment of the patients participating in the study was completed.

 

In November 2022, a Phase 1/2 trial (“BST-005”) was launched, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BST-236 in combination with an additional drug, Venetoclax, in newly-diagnosed AML patients. Currently, 2 cohorts of the study were completed with a total of 7 patients enrolled.

 

b.The Company is engaged in research and development activities and has not derived income from its activities and has incurred accumulated losses in the amount of $66.9 million through September 30, 2023, and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company has limited available cash resources and the Company’s managements is of the opinion that its current resources will not be sufficient to meet its current obligations on the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, the Company had deferred payments to its suppliers and certain employees and is currently negotiating additional deferrals for other current obligations. These circumstances raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On October 18, 2023, the Company completed a merger agreement with Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ayala”), with Biosight becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala (see Note 1d). As of the date these financial statements are available to be issued, the Company is dependent on additional funding from Ayala. According to Ayala’s financial statements as of September 30, 2023, Ayala is also dependent on raising additional funding and there is no assurance that additional funding will be obtained in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. If such funding is not obtained, Ayala would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its research and development programs, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or that Ayala may be unable to continue operations. As such, those factors raised substantial doubt about Ayala’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements has been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued):

 

c.On April 21, 2021, the Company founded Biosight Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States (the “Subsidiary”), formed in the State of Delaware.

 

d.Merger agreement with Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “2023 Merger Agreement”) with Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ayala”) and Advaxis Israel Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayala (“Advaxis Israel”, “Merger Sub”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala (the “2023 Merger”).

 

At the effective time of the 2023 Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Company’s share, par value NIS 0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for 1.82285 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock of Ayala.

 

Under the terms of the 2023 Merger Agreement, upon completion of the 2023 Merger, ownership of the combined company will be split, with 55% ownership going to Company’s shareholders and 45% going to Ayala’s stockholders. The Merger will be accounted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” using the acquisition method of accounting. Although Ayala shareholders have 45% ownership, Ayala was identified as the accounting acquirer, based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

  Pursuant to the 2023 Merger Agreement, the Post-Closing Board will consist of nine directors, out of which Ayala will designate five board seats, with Ayala’s current chair of the board continuing in his position, i.e. the majority of the Post-Closing Board will be designated by Ayala.
     
  The majority of management roles are held by Ayala individuals.
     
  Ayala is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the 2023 Merger, certain issued and outstanding Ordinary A-1 Shares and all issued and outstanding Preferred B and Preferred B-1 Shares of the Company were converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company in accordance with the conversion ratio set forth in the Articles of Association of the Company and pursuant to the terms thereof, at the request of the holders of such shares.

 

At the Effective Time, all options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company which were not exercised until such time were terminated.

 

On October 18, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the 2023 Merger Agreement, Merger Sub consummated the merger with and into Biosight, with Biosight becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala. Biosight’s former shareholders were issued approximately 5,913,471 shares of Ayala’s common stock as a result of the 2023 Merger.

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

a.Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, all of which are denominated in US dollars. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

b.Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure 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 may differ from those estimates. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the fair value of share-based compensation, and warrants, as well as the value of clinical trial accruals.

 

c.Fair value measurement

 

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
     
  Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between fair value measure levels.

The investors under the SAFE shall be entitled to the rights and privileges set forth in the SAFE, including without limitation, the issuance of shares of the Company (or shares of Ayala, as applicable pursuant to the SAFE) upon conversion of the investment extended under the SAFE.

 

The Company amended its Articles of Association in order to enable the Company to fulfill its undertakings and obligations under the SAFE.

In addition, investors under the SAFE are entitled (however, not obligated) to invest their remaining uninvested portion of the additional investment amount under the SAFE directly in Ayala, pursuant to the terms of the Side Letter.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements:

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1. Description of the Merger

 

On July 26, 2023, Biosight entered into the Merger Agreement with Ayala and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Biosight, with Biosight as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala. The Merger closed on October 18, 2023. Upon closing, Ayala issued an aggregate of 5,913,480 shares of its common stock to Biosight shareholders, which resulted in pre-Merger Ayala stockholders owning approximately 45% of the combined company and Biosight stockholders owning approximately 55% of the combined company.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The preceding unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the option to present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Only Transaction Accounting Adjustments are presented in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The Company considered ASC 805-10-55 to determine the accounting acquirer in the Merger. As the Company holds a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined Company, the Company’s former management dominates the majority of the senior management of the combined Company, and after considering all other factors according to ASC 805-10-55, the Company was identified as the accounting acquirer in the Merger.

 

The Merger was accounted for as a business combination and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the business acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of acquisition consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants.

 

Fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. Fair value estimates were determined based on preliminary discussions between Biosight and Ayala management, and a preliminary valuation of Biosight’s assets and liabilities using October 18, 2023, as the measurement date.

 

The enterprise value of Biosight is based on the fair value of Ayala’s common stock issued to Biosight’s shareholders. Refer to Note 4 for additional information. This is used for pro forma purposes only.

 

The assets and liabilities of Biosight and other pro forma adjustments have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Ayala and Biosight believe are reasonable, based on information that is currently available. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could be significant, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operation and financial position.

 

 

 

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet data gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations data gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the period or date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has not been adjusted to give effect to certain expected financial benefits of the Merger, such as cost synergies or the anticipated costs to achieve these benefits, including the cost of integration activities.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the combined companies will continue as a going concern. Please see disclosures in Ayala’s and Biosight’s footnotes to their historical financial statements for more information regarding their ability to continue as a going concern.

 

3. Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies of Ayala. Ayala’s and Biosight’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars. Ayala has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Biosight’s accounting policies to the accounting policies used by Ayala.

 

4. Acquisition and Fair Value Allocation

 

Fair Value of Total Consideration Transferred

 

The fair value of preliminary purchase consideration transferred on the closing date includes the value of the number of shares of the combined company to be owned by Biosight shareholders at closing of the merger. The fair value per share of Ayala’ common stock used for the preliminary purchase price allocation was $0.9325 per share, the closing price of Ayala common stock on October 18, 2023.

 

Preliminary purchase consideration  Amounts 
Number of Biosight common shares issued and outstanding as of October 18, 2023   3,244,085 
Exchange Ratio - Biosight shares to Ayala shares   1.82285 
Equivalent Ayala shares   5,913,480 
Ayala price per share as of October 18, 2023  $0.9325 
Fair value of total purchase consideration  $5,514 

 

 

 

 

Fair Value Allocation

 

The following is a preliminary estimate of the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of Biosight, which includes preliminary adjustments to reflect the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill acquired and the value of the Simple Agreement for Future Equity by and between Biosight and certain investors, pursuant to which such investors agreed to invest in Biosight up to $2,500, and Biosight agreed to issue equity interests in Biosight to such investors in certain circumstances (the “SAFE”).:

 

   Amounts 
Cash and cash equivalents  $1,948 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   151 
Property and equipment, net   64
