risks you should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 20-F and in our other
filings with the SEC, including the following risk factors which we face and which are faced by our industry. Our business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. This report also
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results could materially differ from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements, as a result of certain factors including the risks described below and
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F and our other SEC filings. See “Forward-Looking Statements”
above.



Risks Relating to our Business



We depend completely on the success
of inodiftagene, our lead product candidate, and if inodiftagene does not receive regulatory approval or is not successfully commercialized,
our business will be harmed.



We currently have no products that are approved
for commercial sale and may never be able to develop marketable products. We expect that a substantial portion of our efforts and
expenditures over the next few years will be devoted to inodiftagene, which is currently our only product candidate in active clinical
development. Accordingly, our business depends completely on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization
of inodiftagene. We cannot be certain that inodiftagene will receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized even
if we receive regulatory approval for any indication, due in part because inodiftagene remains in early stages of clinical development,
and it may be years before we are in a position to seek regulatory approval for inodiftagene in any indication. Moreover, we may
not be successful in our efforts to expand the approval, if any, of inodiftagene for other indications. If we were required to
discontinue development of inodiftagene for any indication or if inodiftagene does not receive regulatory approval or fails to
achieve significant market acceptance, we would be delayed by many years in our ability to achieve profitability, if ever. In addition,
our ability to develop additional product candidates in our pipeline could be significantly hindered. We may also need to discontinue
our operations as currently contemplated unless we identify other product candidates, advance them through preclinical and clinical
development and apply for regulatory approvals, which could be time-consuming and costly, and may adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.



Further development of inodiftagene
will require significant additional clinical testing before we can seek regulatory approval and potentially launch commercial sales.



We do not have any products that have gained
regulatory approval. Our business and future success depend on our ability to obtain regulatory approval of, and then successfully
commercialize, our lead product candidate, inodiftagene. We are preparing for Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials. Our ability to develop,
obtain regulatory approval for, and successfully commercialize inodiftagene effectively will depend on several factors, including
the following:



| | • | successful completion of our clinical trials, which will depend substantially upon the satisfactory performance of third-party
contractors;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | successful achievement of the objectives of planned clinical trial(s), including the demonstration of a non-recurrence benefit
and a favorable risk-benefit outcome;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2







| | • | receipt of marketing approvals for inodiftagene from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), and similar
regulatory authorities outside the United States;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | establishing commercial manufacturing and supply arrangements;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | acceptance of the product by patients, the medical community and third-party payors;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | establishing market share while competing with other therapies;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | successfully executing our pricing and reimbursement strategy;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | a continued acceptable safety and adverse event profile of the product following regulatory approval; and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | qualifying for, identifying, registering, maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property rights and claims covering
the product.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Inodiftagene will require additional clinical
and non-clinical development, regulatory review and approval in multiple jurisdictions, substantial investment, access to sufficient
commercial manufacturing capacity and significant marketing efforts before we can generate any revenue from product sales. We are
not permitted to market or promote any of our product candidates before we receive regulatory approval from the FDA or comparable
foreign regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. If we are
unable to develop or receive marketing approval for inodiftagene in a timely manner or at all, we could experience significant
delays or an inability to commercialize the product, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.



We do not have a history of commercial
sales and do not anticipate earning operating income over the coming years, and our failure to receive marketing approval for any
of our product candidates or our failure to otherwise achieve and sustain profitability would negatively impact our ability to
continue our business operations.



Our predecessor entity, BioCancell Therapeutics
Inc. (“BTI”), was formed on July 26, 2004, and since then we have been a development-stage company in the early stage
of drug development. We have not yet received marketing approval for our product candidate and, as a result, have not recorded
any sales. We expect that we will operate at a loss over the coming years, as we do not expect to generate any revenue from operations
in the near term. We may not be able to develop, or receive marketing approval for, drugs from our research and development efforts.
In addition, even if we obtain all necessary approvals to market any of our products, there is no certainty that there will be
sufficient demand to justify the production and marketing of any such product. The market for any drug based on recombinant DNA
plasmids may be small or may not develop, and the creation and growth of a market for any such drug depends on a number of factors
including the availability of adequate reimbursement by patients’ third-party insurers for drugs that utilize recombinant
DNA plasmids, and marketing efforts and publicity regarding any drug that we may develop utilizing recombinant DNA plasmids.



If our products utilizing recombinant DNA
plasmids do not gain wide market acceptance, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated growth, revenues or profitability and
we may not be able to continue our business operations.



We will require substantial additional
funds to complete our research and development activities and, if additional funds are not available, we may need to significantly
scale back or cease our operations.



A significant portion of our research and
development activities has been financed by the issuance of equity securities. There is no certainty that we will be able to obtain
additional sources of funding for our research and development activities. A lack of adequate funding may cause a cessation of
all or part of our research and development activities and business operations.



3







We will require substantial funds to discover,
develop, protect and conduct research and development for our plasmid-based prospective therapies, including clinical trials of
any of our products, and to manufacture and market any such product that may be approved for commercial sale. From inception, we
have raised approximately $116.2 million. However, these funds may prove to be insufficient for these activities. Our financing
needs may change substantially because of the results of our research and development, competition, clinical trials and costs arising
from additional regulatory approvals. We may not succeed in raising additional funds if needed. The timing of our need for additional
funds will depend on a number of factors, which factors are difficult to predict or may be outside of our control, including:



| | • | the resources, time and costs required to initiate and complete our research and development and to initiate and complete pre-clinical
and clinical studies and to obtain regulatory approvals for our products;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | progress in our research and development programs;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------



| | • | the timing, receipt and amount of milestone, royalty and other payments from future collaborators, if any; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | costs necessary to protect our intellectual property.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------



If our estimates and predictions relating
to any of these factors are incorrect, we may need to modify our operating plan. Additional funds may not be available to us when
needed on acceptable terms, or at all.



Raising additional capital may
cause dilution to our existing shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or
product candidates.



Until such time, if ever, as we can generate
substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, government contracts,
government and/or other third-party grants or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations,
strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We will require substantial funding to fund our commercialization efforts and fund
our operating expenses and other activities. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible
debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences
that adversely affect your rights as a holder of the ADSs. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants
limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or
declaring dividends. If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail one or more
of our clinical research or development programs, which would adversely impact our potential revenues, results of operations and
financial condition.



There is substantial doubt as
to whether we can continue as a going concern.



Our consolidated financial statements as
of December 31, 2018 contain an explanatory paragraph that states that our recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any measurement or presentation adjustment
for assets or liabilities that might result if we would be unable to continue as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses
since inception, have not generated any product sales revenues and have not achieved profitable operations. Our net loss, accumulated
during the development stage through December 31, 2018, totaled approximately $76 million, and we expect to continue to incur substantial
losses in future periods while we continue to test and prepare our product candidate for the market.

Risks Related to Development, Clinical Testing and
Regulatory Approval of Our Product Candidate



Any product that we may develop
will be required to undergo a time-consuming, costly and burdensome pre-market approval process, and we may be unable to obtain
regulatory approval for our product candidate.



Any product that we develop will be subject
to extensive governmental regulations relating to development, clinical trials, manufacturing and commercialization. Rigorous pre-clinical
testing and clinical trials and extensive regulatory approval processes are required to be successfully completed in the United
States and in many foreign jurisdictions such as the European Union and Japan before a new therapeutic product may be offered and
sold in any of these countries or regions. Satisfaction of these and other regulatory requirements is costly, time-consuming, uncertain
and subject to unanticipated delays.



In the United States, the products that
we intend to develop and market are regulated by the FDA under its drug development and review process. The time required to obtain
FDA and other approvals for our products is unpredictable. Before such products can be marketed, we must obtain clearance from
the FDA first through submission of an investigational new drug application (“IND”), then through successful completion
of human testing under three phases of clinical trials and finally through submission of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”).
Even after successful completion of clinical testing, there is a risk that the FDA may request further information from us, disagree
with our findings or otherwise undertake a lengthy review of our BLA submission.



There can be no assurance that the FDA will
grant a license for any BLA that we may submit. It is possible that none of the products that we develop will obtain the appropriate
regulatory approvals necessary for us to commence the offer and sale of such products. Any delay or failure in obtaining required
approvals could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues from a particular prospective product.



Because we intend to market any drug that
we develop in jurisdictions in addition to the United States, such as the European Union and Japan, we will likely incur the same
costs or more in satisfying foreign regulatory requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing
and commercialization of our products. Approval by the FDA by itself does not assure approval by regulatory authorities outside
the United States. Each of these foreign regulatory approval processes includes all of the risks associated with the FDA approval
process, as well as risks attributable to having to satisfy local regulations within each of these foreign jurisdictions. Our inability
to obtain regulatory approval outside the United States may adversely compromise our business prospects.



If the clinical studies that we
are required to conduct to gain regulatory approval are delayed or unsuccessful, we may not be able to market our product candidate.



We may experience delays in any phase of
the development of our product candidate and its commercial launch, including during research and development and clinical trials.
Implementing a clinical study is time-consuming and expensive, and the outcome of any clinical study is uncertain. The completion
of any of these studies may be delayed or halted for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:



| | • | the FDA, institutional review boards (“IRBs”), the European Union regulatory authorities (the European Medicines
Agency (“EMA”) and national authorities), the Israeli Ministry of Health, or other regulatory authorities do not approve
a clinical study protocol or place a clinical study on hold;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | patients do not enroll in a clinical study or results from patients are not received at the expected rate;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | patients discontinue participation in a clinical study prior to the scheduled endpoint set forward in the clinical protocol
at a higher than expected rate, especially if such discontinuations interfere with our ability to assess the efficacy of our product
candidate;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | patients experience adverse events from our product candidate;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------



5







| | • | patients die during a clinical study for a variety of reasons that may or may not be related to our product candidate, including
the advanced stage of their disease and other medical problems;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | third-party clinical investigators do not perform the clinical studies in accordance with the anticipated schedule or consistent
with the clinical study protocol and good clinical practices or other third-party organizations do not perform data collection
and analysis in a timely or accurate manner;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | third-party clinical investigators engage in activities that, even if not directly associated with our clinical studies, result
in their debarment, loss of licensure, or other legal or regulatory sanction;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | regulatory inspections of manufacturing facilities, which may, among other things, require us to undertake corrective action
or suspend the clinical studies;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the interim results of the clinical study, if any, are inconclusive or negative; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the study design, although approved and completed, is inadequate to demonstrate effectiveness and safety.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our dependence upon clinical trials in developing
our product candidate may impede us from reaching advanced stages of development, and might cause termination of all or part of
our commercial operations. To date, the aforementioned situations regarding potential delays in research and development activities
and clinical trials have yet to occur in a manner that adversely affects our research and development activities.



Clinical trials are expensive,
time-consuming and difficult to design and implement.



Clinical trials are expensive and difficult
to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. Because our product candidate is
based on new technologies, we expect that it will require extensive research and development and have substantial manufacturing
and processing costs. In addition, costs to treat potential side effects that may result from our product candidate may be significant.
Accordingly, our clinical trial costs could be significantly higher than for more conventional therapeutic technologies or drug
products.



We have limited experience in
conducting and managing clinical trials.



We have limited experience in conducting
and managing the clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidate. We may rely on third parties
for clinical development activities and our reliance on third parties will reduce our control over these activities. Accordingly,
third-party contractors may not complete activities on schedule, or may not conduct clinical trials in accordance with regulatory
requirements or our trial design. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected
deadlines, we may be required to replace them, which may delay the affected trial.



We may experience difficulties
in identifying and recruiting suitable patients for clinical studies, which may significantly compromise our ability to develop
our product candidate.



We may experience difficulties in identifying
and recruiting suitable patients for clinical studies because of the high demand for such patients’ involvement in current
and future clinical trials for potential drugs or because the supply of suitable patients may be low because of strict inclusion
criteria requirements. The realization of any of the foregoing risks may significantly compromise our ability to develop our product
candidate, which would adversely impact our potential revenues, results of operations and financial condition.



6







If serious adverse or undesirable
side effects are identified during the development of our product candidate, we may need to abandon or limit our development of
our product candidate.



Our product candidate is in clinical development
and its risk of failure is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidate will prove effective or safe in humans
or will receive regulatory approval. If our product candidate is associated with undesirable side effects or have characteristics
that are unexpected, we may need to abandon its development or limit development to certain uses or subpopulations in which the
undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severe or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective.
In our Phase 1/2 clinical pilot trial with 47 treated patients suffering from NMIBC who had failed previous treatment, three patients
experienced serious adverse events while receiving treatment: one reported myocardial infection, one reported hematuria (blood
in urine), and one reported urinary retention, urinary tract infection and transurethral prostatectomy (a type of resection of
the prostate gland). Only the hematuria was considered by the investigator to be possibly related to inodiftagene. In the Phase
1 study of inodiftagene as a monotherapy in 18 patients with NMIBC, one serious adverse event considered possibly related to study
treatment, urinary urgency requiring hospitalization, occurred. Serious adverse events not considered to be related to study treatment
in that study included one patient who reported hematuria and one patient who reported a broken leg, who also had an infected surgical
wound after elective surgery to remove the metal plate used to treat the broken leg. In the Phase 2 study of inodiftagene in combination
with BCG with 38 patients suffering from NMIBC, one patient reported a serious adverse event of heart palpitations, which was considered
by the investigator not to be related to either study treatment. The serious adverse events did not affect the validity of the
study or result in a clinical hold being placed on the IND. In addition, such effects or characteristics could cause an IRB or
regulatory authority to interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidate, require us to conduct additional clinical
trials or other tests or studies, and could result in a more restrictive label, or the delay or denial of marketing approval by
the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities.



The commercial value of any clinical
study that we may commence and conduct in the future will significantly depend upon our choice of medical indication and our selection
of a patient population for our clinical study of an indication, and our inability to commence clinical testing or our choice of
clinical strategy may significantly compromise our business prospects.



If we successfully complete a clinical study,
the commercial value of any such study will depend significantly upon our choice of indication and our selection of a patient population
for that indication. Because our recombinant DNA plasmids are expected to be expressed in various types of cancer, our prototype
molecules may have the ability to treat many different kinds of cancer. Thus, we may incorrectly assess the market opportunities
of an indication or may incorrectly estimate or fail to appreciate fully the scientific and technological difficulties associated
with treating an indication. Furthermore, the quality and robustness of the results and data of any clinical study that we may
conduct in the future will depend upon our selection of a patient population for clinical testing. Our inability to commence clinical
testing or our choice of clinical strategy may significantly compromise our business prospects.



Our inability to address the chemistry,
manufacturing and control concerns of regulatory bodies would significantly compromise our business prospects.



If we commence additional clinical studies
for our product candidate, our ability to complete such clinical studies successfully and to apply for and obtain regulatory approval
for marketing will depend upon our ability to develop an established manufacturing process assuring consistent production of a
therapeutic product of a defined quality for all phases of clinical testing and for commercial production in accordance with current
Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”). Our inability to satisfy the chemistry, manufacturing and control concerns of
regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, would either prevent us from completing clinical studies or prevent us from obtaining regulatory
approval for marketing, either of which would significantly compromise our business prospects.



7







If we, or if our service providers
or any third-party manufacturers, fail to comply with regulatory requirements, we or they could be subject to enforcement actions,
which could affect adversely our ability to market and sell our product candidate.



If we, or if our service providers or any
third-party manufacturers, fail to comply with applicable federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, we could be subject to
enforcement actions, which could adversely affect our ability to develop, market and sell our product candidate successfully and
could harm our reputation and lead to reduced acceptance of our product candidate. These enforcement actions may include:



| | • | restrictions on, or prohibitions against, marketing our product candidate;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | restrictions on importation of our product candidate;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------



| | • | suspension of review or refusal to approve new or pending applications;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | suspension or withdrawal of product approvals;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------



| | • | product seizures;
| | - | -----------------



| | • | injunctions; and
| | - | ----------------



| | • | civil and criminal penalties and fines.
| | - | ---------------------------------------



If we, or if our service providers
or any third-party manufacturers, fail to comply with laws regulating the protection of the environment and health and human safety,
we or they could be subject to enforcement actions and our business prospects could be adversely affected.



Our research and development activities,
and the research and development activities of our service providers and third-party manufacturers may involve the use of hazardous
materials and chemicals or the maintenance of various flammable and toxic chemicals. If we, or they, fail to adequately handle
and dispose of these materials, we may be held liable for resulting damages, which could be substantial. We also may be subject
to numerous environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures, exposure
to blood-borne pathogens and the handling of bio-hazardous materials. We may incur substantial costs to comply with these laws
or regulations, and substantial fines or penalties if we violate any of them, which could significantly compromise our business
prospects.



Risks Related to Competition and Commercialization
of Our Product Candidate



The pharmaceutical and biotechnology
market is highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing products, new treatment methods and new technologies,
we may be unable to commercialize any therapeutic products that we may develop in the future.



The biotechnology market is highly competitive,
is subject to rapid technological change and is significantly affected by existing rival drugs and medical procedures, new product
introductions and the market activities of other participants. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions,
governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations may pursue the research and development of technologies,
drugs or other therapeutic products for the treatment of some or all of the diseases that we are targeting, or that we expect to
target, including NMIBC. We also may face competition from products that have already been approved and accepted by the medical
community for the treatment of these same indications. We believe a number of products are currently under development, and may
become commercially available in the future, for the treatment of some or all of the diseases that we are targeting or that we
expect to target.



Our competitors may develop products more
rapidly or more effectively than us. Many of our competitors have:



8







| | • | much greater experience and much greater financial, technical and human resources than we have at every stage of the discovery,
development, manufacture and commercialization process;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | more extensive experience in pre-clinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals
and manufacturing and marketing therapeutic products;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | products that have been approved or are in late stages of development;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | established distribution networks;
| | - | ----------------------------------



| | • | collaborative arrangements in our target markets with leading companies and research institutions; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | entrenched and established relationships with healthcare providers and payors.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As a result of any of the foregoing factors,
our competitors may develop or commercialize products with significant advantages over any therapeutic products that we may develop.
If our competitors are more successful in commercializing their products than us, their success could adversely affect our competitive
position and harm our business prospects.



We may be unsuccessful in utilizing expedited
or other similar regulatory pathways for marketing approval of our product candidate in the United States and Europe.



For our current lead product candidate,
we are currently pursuing regulatory pathways that would provide expedited marketing approval in the United States. Although we
believe that we have developed our clinical trials based on a framework that would allow for expedited or other similar approval,
the FDA may prohibit us from utilizing such regulatory approval pathways or require us to conduct additional, large clinical trials.



In our leading indication, bladder cancer,
we face competition from the current standard of care. The current standard of care has severe side effects. However, our commercial
opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products, treatments or procedures that
improve the standard of care and have fewer or less severe side effects. If such products are approved, the demand for our product
candidate may be significantly reduced.



Even if we receive regulatory
approval to market our product candidate, the market may not be receptive to our product candidate upon its commercial introduction,
which would prevent us from becoming profitable.



We may have difficulties convincing the
medical community and third-party payors to accept and use any of our products that may be approved for commercialization in the
future. Key participants in pharmaceutical marketplaces, such as physicians, third-party payors and consumers, may not accept therapies
utilizing recombinant DNA plasmids. Even if such therapies are accepted by these participants, the medical community may not consider
effectiveness and safety alone as a sufficient basis for prescribing our product in lieu of other alternative treatment methods
and medications that are available.



Any therapeutic products that
we may develop may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party reimbursement practices or healthcare reform
initiatives, thereby adversely affecting the profitability of our business.



The regulations that govern pricing for
new medical products vary widely from country to country. As a result, we might obtain regulatory approval for a product in a particular
country, but then be subject to pricing regulations in that country that delay the commercial launch of the product and negatively
impact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. In addition, our ability to commercialize
any approved products successfully will depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement for these products will be available
from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Even if we succeed in bringing
one or more therapeutic products to market, these products may not be considered cost-effective, and the amount reimbursed for
any products may be insufficient to allow us to sell them on a competitive basis. If the price we are able to charge for therapeutic
products is inadequate in light of our development and other costs, our profitability could be adversely affected.



9







Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties



We rely on a limited number of
third parties for the supply of plasmids and other key raw materials required for our research and development activities. If we
are unable to reach agreements with these third parties, or if we are unable to maintain our contractual relationships with these
third parties, our research and development activities would be delayed.



We rely on third parties to provide materials
required for our research and development activities. Obtaining these materials requires various approvals as well as reaching
a purchase or commercial agreement on acceptable terms with the provider of the materials. We may not be able to reach agreements
with a sufficient number of suppliers or do so on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to reach acceptable agreements with
a sufficient number of suppliers of materials, our research and development activities will be delayed and our ability to implement
our business plan will be compromised.



The manufacture of recombinant DNA plasmids
in particular is a complicated and expensive process, which requires months of advance planning. We rely on a limited number of
manufacturers for our supply. If we are unable to acquire the necessary amount of plasmids to complete our clinical trials, our
progress could be delayed substantially.



We have no manufacturing experience
or resources and we must incur significant costs to develop this expertise or rely on third parties to manufacture our product
candidate.



We have no manufacturing experience. In
order to develop our product candidate, apply for regulatory approvals and commercialize our product candidate, we will need to
develop, contract for or otherwise arrange for the necessary manufacturing capabilities. Manufacturing of our product must comply
with the current cGMP requirements set forth in the FDA’s Code of Federal Regulations. The manufacturing process for our
product candidate is an element of the FDA approval process and we will need to contract with manufacturers who can satisfy the
FDA requirements on an ongoing basis before we seek to obtain FDA approval. In addition, if we receive the necessary regulatory
approval for our product candidate, we also expect to rely on third parties, including our collaborators, to manufacture our therapeutic
products in quantities sufficient for clinical trials and commercial marketing. We may experience difficulty in obtaining adequate
and timely manufacturing capacity for clinical trials and our commercial needs. If we are unable to obtain or maintain contract
manufacturing for our product candidate, or are unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms, we may not be able to successfully
develop and commercialize our product candidate.



Risks Related to Our Operations



If we are unable to retain qualified
employees, our ability to implement our business plan may be adversely affected.



The loss of the service of employees, such
as Dr. Frank Haluska, our Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Burgin, our Chief Financial and Operating Officer, Dr. David Kerstein,
our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ron Knickerbocker, our Senior Vice President of Clinical Development and Data Sciences, Sean Daly,
our Vice President of Clinical Operations, or Dr. Michal Gilon Ohev-Zion, our Vice President of Research and Development, would
likely delay our achievement of product development and our other business objectives. Although we have employment agreements with
our key employees, some of these employment agreements provide for at-will employment, which means that the employee could terminate
their employment with us at any time and, for certain employees, without notice. We do not carry key man life insurance on any
of our executive officers.



10







Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific,
clinical, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel will also be critical to our success. We may not be able to attract and
retain these personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for
similar personnel. We also experience competition for the hiring of scientific and clinical personnel from universities and research
institutions. In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in formulating
our research and development and commercialization strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by employers other than
us and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with other entities that may limit their availability to us.



Under applicable employment laws,
we may not be able to enforce covenants not to compete.



Our employment agreements generally include
covenants not to compete. These agreements prohibit our employees, if they cease working for us, from competing directly with us
or working for our competitors for a limited period. We may be unable to enforce these agreements under the laws of the jurisdictions
in which our employees work. For example, Israeli courts have required employers seeking to enforce covenants not to compete to
demonstrate that the competitive activities of a former employee will harm one of a limited number of material interests of the
employer, such as the secrecy of a company’s confidential commercial information or the protection of its intellectual property.
If we cannot demonstrate that such an interest will be harmed, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from
the expertise of our former employees or consultants and our competitiveness may be diminished.



We may be subject to claims that
our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.



Many of our employees, including our senior
management, were previously employed at other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, including our potential competitors. Some
of these employees may have executed proprietary rights, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements in connection with such
previous employment. Although we try to ensure that our employees do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others
in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or these employees have used or disclosed intellectual property, including
trade secrets or other proprietary information, of any such employee’s former employer. We are not aware of any threatened
or pending claims related to these matters or concerning the agreements with our senior management, but in the future litigation
may be necessary to defend against such claims. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages,
we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation
could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.



We are exposed to a risk of substantial
loss due to claims that may be filed against us in the future because our insurance policies may not fully cover the risk of loss
associated with our operations.



We are exposed to the risk of having claims
seeking monetary damages being filed against us for loss or harm suffered by participants of our clinical studies or for loss or
harm suffered by users of any drug that may receive approval for commercialization in the future. In either event, the FDA or the
regulatory authorities of other countries or regions may commence investigations of the safety and effectiveness of any such clinical
trial or commercialized drug, the manufacturing processes and facilities or marketing programs utilized in respect of any such
trial or drug, and may result in mandatory or voluntary recalls of any commercialized drug or other significant enforcement action
such as limiting the indications for which any such drug may be used, or suspension or withdrawal of approval for any such drug.
Investigations by the FDA or any other regulatory authority in other countries or regions also could delay or prevent the completion
of any of our other clinical development programs. In the event that we are required to pay damages for any such claim, we may
be forced to seek bankruptcy or to liquidate because our asset and revenue base may be insufficient to satisfy the payment of damages
and any insurance that we have obtained or may obtain for product or clinical trial liability may not provide sufficient coverage
against potential liabilities. Our current clinical trials insurance policy provides coverage in the amount of up to $10 million
in the aggregate.

Our business and operations would
suffer in the event of system failures.



Despite the implementation of security measures,
our internal computer systems and those of our contract research organizations (“CROs”) and other contractors and consultants
are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and
electrical failures. While we have not experienced any such system failure, accident or security breach to date, if such an event
were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our drug development programs.
For example, the loss of clinical trial data from completed or ongoing or planned clinical trials could result in delays in our
regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. To the extent that any disruption
or security breach were to result in a loss of or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential
or proprietary information, we could incur liability and the further development of our product could be delayed.



Risks Related to Government Regulation



We may be subject to U.S. federal
and state and also foreign healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations and other regulatory reforms, and a finding of our failure
to comply with such laws, regulations and reforms could have a material adverse effect on our business.



Our operations may be directly or indirectly
affected by various broad U.S. federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws. These include the U.S. federal anti-kickback
statute, which prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration, directly
or indirectly, in return for or to induce the referring, ordering, leasing, purchasing or arranging for or recommending the ordering,
purchasing or leasing of an item or service, for which payment may be made under U.S. federal healthcare programs, such as the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. The U.S. federal anti-kickback statute is very broad in scope, and many of its provisions have
not been uniformly or definitively interpreted by existing case law or regulations. In addition, many states have adopted laws
similar to the U.S. federal anti-kickback statute, and some of these laws are broader than that statute in that their prohibitions
are not limited to items or services paid for by a U.S. federal healthcare program but, instead, apply regardless of the source
of payment. Violations of these laws could result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from government-sponsored programs.



Our relationships with customers
and third-party payors will be subject to applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations,
which could expose us to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, program exclusion, contractual damages, reputational harm and diminished
profits and future earnings.



Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party
payors play a primary role in the recommendation of any product for which we obtain marketing approval. Our future arrangements
with third-party payors and customers may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations
that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we market, sell and distribute products
for which we obtain marketing approval. Restrictions under applicable federal and state healthcare laws and regulations, include
the following:



| | • | the federal healthcare anti-kickback statute, as mentioned above, prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and
willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward
either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may
be made under federal and state healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the federal False Claims Act imposes civil penalties, including civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals
or entities for knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, claims for payment that are false
or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, imposes criminal and civil liability for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare
benefit program and also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy,
security and transmission of individually identifiable health information;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



12







| | • | the federal false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact
or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the federal transparency requirements under the Health Care Reform Law will require manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics
and medical supplies to report to the Department of Health and Human Services information related to physician payments and other
transfers of value and physician ownership and investment interests; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | analogous state laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements
and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers,
and some state laws require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines
and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government in addition to requiring drug manufacturers to report
information related to payments to physicians and other health care providers or marketing expenditures.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Some state laws require pharmaceutical companies
to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated
by the federal government and may require drug manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value
to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures. State and foreign laws also govern the privacy and security
of health information in some circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted
by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.



Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements
with third parties comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. It is possible that governmental
authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving
applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these
laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative
penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the curtailment
or restructuring of our operations. If any of the physicians or other providers or entities with whom we expect to do business
are found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including
exclusions from government funded healthcare programs.



Inadequate funding for the FDA,
the SEC and other government agencies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent
new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing
normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.



The ability of the FDA to review and approve
new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain
key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the FDA
have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the SEC and other government agencies on which
our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which
is inherently fluid and unpredictable.



13







Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Potential
Litigation



Patents that we have licensed
exclusively from Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (“Yissum”) will expire,
and if we cannot obtain extended marketing exclusivity, whether through the use of additional patents or government exclusivity
regulations, we may face increased competition from third parties who will be able to use the patents that we have used in our
research and development activities.



Significant patents underlying our lead
product candidate, inodiftagene, included in the exclusive license that Yissum granted to us began expiring in 2017, after which
time, any one or more of our competitors could develop generic alternatives to our prospective drugs, to the extent that these
are not subject to additional protections, such as exclusivity of biological drugs in the United States and elsewhere, and patent
restoration.



We are required, and may be required
in the future, to license patent rights from third-party owners in order to develop our products. If we cannot obtain such licenses,
or if such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the patents underlying such licenses, our competitive position and business
prospects will be harmed.



We currently license patents in conducting
our research and development activities, and may be required to obtain additional licenses in the future if we believe it is necessary
or useful for our business and our research and development efforts to use third-party intellectual property or if our efforts
would infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.



Should we succeed in obtaining any such
license, our business prospects will depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection
for our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may terminate our license, may not successfully prosecute or may fail to
maintain their patent applications that we have licensed, may determine not to pursue litigation against other persons that are
infringing these patents or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual
property that we have licensed and that we may license in the future, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical
products for sale, which could adversely affect our competitive position and harm our business prospects.



If we fail to comply with our
obligations under our license with Yissum or other licenses or related agreements to which we are currently a party or may be in
the future, we could lose license rights that may be necessary for developing our plasmid-based therapeutic products.



The exclusive license granted to us by Yissum
and any license that we may enter into in the future in connection with our efforts to develop drugs utilizing recombinant DNA
plasmids may impose various development, commercialization, funding, royalty, diligence, sublicensing,
insurance and other obligations on us. Our obligations under any of these license agreements could include, without limitation:



| | • | royalty payments;
| | - | -----------------



| | • | annual maintenance fees;
| | - | ------------------------



| | • | providing progress reports;
| | - | ---------------------------



| | • | maintaining insurance coverage;
| | - | -------------------------------



| | • | paying fees related to prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patent rights;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | minimum annual payments; and
| | - | ----------------------------



| | • | undertaking diligent efforts to develop and to introduce therapeutic products into the commercial market as soon as practicable.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14







If we were to breach any of our material
obligations as described above, the licensor may have the right to terminate the license which could result in our being unable
to develop, manufacture and sell products that are covered by the licensed technology or a competitor gaining access to the licensed
technology. Under the terms of the exclusive license granted to us by Yissum, Yissum has the right to terminate the license if
we become bankrupt or insolvent, or if our business is placed in the hands of a receiver, assignee or trustee. In addition, Yissum
has the right to terminate the license for any material breach of the license by us if we fail to remedy such material breach within
ninety days of Yissum’s notice of our material breach, provided that the material breach is curable within 90 days. If the
material breach cannot be remedied within 90 days, Yissum may not terminate the license if we take reasonable commercial action
to cure such breach as promptly as practicable. The Israeli Contract Law (Remedies for Breach of Contract) 1970, defines the term
 “material breach” as a breach, with regards to which, it may be assumed that a reasonable person would not have entered
into the specific agreement had that person foreseen the breach and the outcome thereof, or a breach which is specifically defined
as material in the agreement. Acts that may constitute a material breach of the license agreement by us may include, for example:
the granting of sublicenses not in compliance with the provisions of the license agreement, a breach of our obligations to pay
royalties and provide the necessary reports with respect thereto, a breach of our obligations not to disclose or misuse certain
confidential information of Yissum, and a breach of our obligations to develop and commercialize the licensed technology (including
our obligation to fund certain research and development activities) and to conduct patent prosecution and maintenance, as further
described below.



Confidentiality agreements with
employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.



We currently rely, and intend to rely in
the future, on trade secrets, know-how and technology that are not protected by patents to maintain our competitive position. In
order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our collaborators,
employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers and other advisors. These agreements may not
effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information,
and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be
necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection
could adversely affect our competitive position and harm our business prospects.



If we are unable to obtain and
enforce patent protection for our inventions, our ability to develop and commercialize our product will be harmed.



Our success depends, to a considerable extent,
on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under the patent and other intellectual property
laws of the United States and other countries, so that we may prevent others from unlawfully using our inventions and proprietary
information. The patent position of pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, including ours, is generally uncertain and involves
complex legal and factual considerations. The standards that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”) and its
foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and may change. There also is no uniform,
worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical or biotechnology patents.
Even if our rights are not directly challenged, disputes among third parties could lead to the weakening or invalidation of our
intellectual property rights. Accordingly, we do not know the degree of future protection for our proprietary rights or the breadth
of claims that will be allowed with respect to any patents issued to us or to others. Additionally, the mere issuance of a patent
does not guarantee that it is valid or enforceable against third parties.



15







We may become involved in lawsuits
to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.



A third party may sue us for infringing
its patent rights or may claim that we have improperly obtained or used its confidential or proprietary information. Likewise,
we may need to resort to litigation to enforce a patent issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of third-party
proprietary rights. In addition, during an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that the patent rights we are asserting
are invalid or unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our
patents do not cover the technology in question. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put one or more of our patents
at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection
with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure
during this type of litigation. In addition, our licensors may have rights to file and prosecute such claims and we are reliant
on them. The cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our
favor, could be significant, and the litigation would divert our management’s efforts. From a financial perspective, there
is a risk that we would not be able to sustain the costs of any such litigation and would be forced to seek bankruptcy or to liquidate
because of our limited asset and revenue base.



We may become subject to claims
for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely
affect our business.



We may be subject to claims that former
employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in, or right to compensation, with respect to our current patent
and patent applications, future patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor. For example, we may have
inventorship disputes arise from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing our products.
Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship or claiming the right to compensation.
If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights,
such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could have a material adverse
effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs
and be a distraction to management and other employees.



A significant portion of our intellectual
property has been developed by our employees in the course of their employment with us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967
(the “Patent Law”) inventions conceived by an employee in the course and as a result of or arising from his or her
employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions,” which belong to the employer, absent a specific agreement
between the employee and employer giving the employee service invention rights. The Patent Law also provides that if there is no
such agreement between an employer and an employee, the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee (the “Committee”)
a body constituted under the Patent Law, shall determine whether the employee is entitled to remuneration for his or her inventions.
Recent decisions by the Committee (which have been upheld by the Israeli Supreme Court on appeal) have created uncertainty in this
area, as it held that employees may be entitled to remuneration for their service inventions despite having specifically waived
any such rights. However, a recent decision by the Committee held that such right can be waived by the employee. The Committee
further held that an explicit reference to the waived right is not necessary in every circumstance in order for the employee’s
waiver of such right to be valid. Such waiver can be formalized in writing or orally or be implied by the actions of the parties
in accordance with the rules of interpretation of Israeli contract law. We generally enter into assignment-of-invention agreements
with our employees pursuant to which such individuals assign to us all rights to any inventions created in the scope of their employment
or engagement with us. Although our employees have agreed to assign to us service invention rights and have specifically waived
their right to receive any special remuneration for such assignment beyond their regular salary and benefits, we may face claims
demanding remuneration in consideration for assigned inventions.



Intellectual property rights do
not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.



The degree of future protection afforded
by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations, and may not adequately
protect our business, or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage. The following examples are illustrative:



| | • | Others may be able to make products that are similar to ours, but that are not covered by the claims of the patents that we
own or have exclusively licensed.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | We or our licensors or strategic partners might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by the issued patent
or pending patent application that we own or have exclusively licensed.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



16







| | • | We or our licensors or strategic partners might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of our
inventions.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies without infringing
our intellectual property rights.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | It is possible that our pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Issued patents that we own or have exclusively licensed may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be held
invalid or unenforceable, as a result of legal challenges by our competitors.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Our competitors might conduct research and development activities in countries where we do not have patent rights and then
use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in our major commercial markets.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | We may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | The patents of others may have an adverse effect on our business.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------



Should any of these events occur, they could
significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects.



Risks Related to Our Operations in Israel



If there are significant shifts
in the political, economic and military conditions in Israel, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations.



Our corporate headquarters and research
and development facilities are located in Israel. In addition, certain of our employees, officers and directors are residents of
Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the establishment
of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries. In recent
years, these have included hostilities from Hezbollah in Lebanon and between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which resulted
in rockets being fired into Israel, causing casualties and disruption of economic activities. In addition, Israel faces threats
from the civil war in Syria and from Iran. Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event
associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the
reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government
coverage will be maintained, or if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any armed conflict
involving Israel could adversely affect our operations and results of operations, and any losses or damages incurred by us as the
result of such a conflict could have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, our operations could be disrupted
by the obligations of our personnel to perform military service. Some of our employees based in Israel may be called upon to perform
military reserve duty and, in emergency circumstances, may be called to immediate and unlimited active duty. Our operations could
be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of employees due to military service, which could materially adversely affect
our business and results of operations.



Several countries, principally in the Middle
East, restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business
with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise.



Because a substantial portion
of our revenues is expected to be generated in currencies other than our functional currency, we will be exposed to fluctuations
in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition.



In the future, we expect that a substantial
portion of our revenues will be generated in currencies other than our functional currency. We currently maintain our financial
records in NIS, which is our functional currency, and report our financial results in U.S. dollars. As a result, our revenues for
financial statement purposes might be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies in the countries in which our
products may be sold.



17







Any Israeli government funding
that we receive for research and development expenditures limits or prohibits our ability to manufacture products and transfer
know-how outside of Israel and requires us to satisfy specified conditions.



We have received royalty-bearing funding
from the Israeli government through the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry
of Economy) (“IIA”) for a significant portion of our research and development expenditures. Israeli law requires that
products developed with government funding be manufactured in Israel, unless the IIA approves otherwise. Such approval, if given,
is generally conditioned on an increase in the maximum amount of royalties to be paid to the IIA, with the exact ceiling dependent
on the extent of the manufacturing to be conducted outside of Israel. Although products based on IIA-funded technologies and know-how
may be sold freely, the transfer of or grant of any right (including liens) in the underlying IIA-funded technologies and know-how
is restricted. Any such transfer is subject to the approval of the IIA and if the transfer is made outside of Israel, then it is
generally conditioned on payment of a redemption fee, which may be substantial.



If we fail to comply with the restrictions
and conditions imposed in connection with IIA funding, we may be subject to the sanctions that are set forth under Israeli law,
including the possible refund of any payments previously received together with interest and penalties, and in certain circumstances
we may also be subject to criminal charges. The difficulties and cost of obtaining the approval of the IIA for the transfer of
manufacturing rights, technology or know-how outside of Israel could prevent us from entering into strategic alliances or other
transactions that provide for such a transfer, which in turn could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.



Currency exchange controls may
restrict our ability to utilize our cash flows.



We expect to receive proceeds from sales
of any product we may develop, and also to pay a portion of our operational costs and expenses, in U.S. dollars, Euros and other
foreign currencies. However, we may be subject to existing or future rules and regulations on currency conversion. In 1998, the
Israeli currency control regulations were liberalized significantly, and there are currently no currency controls in place. Legislation
remains in effect, however, pursuant to which such currency controls could be imposed in Israel by administrative action at any
time. We cannot assure that such controls will not be reinstated, or if reinstated, that they would not have an adverse effect
on our operations.



Enforcing a U.S. judgment against
us and our executive officers and directors, or asserting U.S. securities law claims in Israel, may be difficult.



We are incorporated in Israel. Some of our
executive officers and directors reside in Israel and most of our assets are located outside of the United States. Therefore, a
judgment obtained against us or any of these persons in the United States, including one based on the civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It
may also be difficult to affect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities laws claims
in original actions instituted in Israel.



Even if an Israeli court agrees to hear
such a claim, it may determine that Israeli, and not U.S., law is applicable to the claim. Under Israeli law, if U.S. law is found
to be applicable to such a claim, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and
costly process, and certain matters of procedure would be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing
these matters.



Subject to specified time limitations and
legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a final
U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws and
including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that:



18







| | • | the judgment is enforceable in the state in which it was given;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the judgment was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction under the rules of private international law prevailing in Israel;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the judgment and the enforcement of the judgment are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the
State of Israel;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the judgment was not obtained by fraudulent means and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between
the same parties; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted
in the foreign court.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If a foreign judgment is enforced by an
Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred
out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the
Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of
the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an
Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli CPI plus interest at the annual statutory rate
set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations.



Your rights and responsibilities
as our shareholder will be governed by Israeli law, which may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders
of U.S. corporations.



Since we are incorporated under Israeli
law, the rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by our articles of association and Israeli law. These rights
and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations. In particular,
each of our shareholders has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising its rights and performing its
obligations toward us and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing its power in, among other things, voting at shareholder
meetings on certain matters, such as an amendment to our articles of association, an increase of our authorized share capital,
a merger and approval of related party transactions that require shareholder approval. A shareholder also has a general duty to
refrain from discriminating against other shareholders. In addition, a controlling shareholder or a shareholder who knows that
it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholders vote or to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder
has a duty to act in fairness toward us. Israeli law does not clearly define the substance of these duties, but these provisions
may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on our shareholders that are not typically imposed on shareholders
of U.S. corporations.



Provisions of Israeli corporate
and tax law may deter acquisition transactions.



The provisions of Israeli corporate law
governing mergers, tender offers and other acquisition transactions differ in significant respects from analogous provisions of
U.S. federal and state law, and may make such transactions difficult to effect. The need for IIA approval and the potential redemption
fee payable if an acquiror wishes to transfer IIA-funded technologies and know-how outside of Israel may deter certain potential
acquirors. Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential acquisition transactions unappealing to us, to our Israeli
shareholders or to those of our shareholders whose country of residence does not have a tax treaty with Israel exempting such shareholders
from Israeli tax. For example, Israeli tax law does not recognize tax-free share exchanges to the same extent as U.S. tax law.
With respect to mergers, Israeli tax law allows for tax deferral in certain circumstances but makes the deferral contingent on
the fulfillment of various conditions, such as a holding period of two years from the date of the transaction during which sales
and dispositions of shares of the participating companies are restricted. Moreover, with respect to certain share swap transactions,
the tax deferral is limited in time, and when such time expires, the tax becomes payable even if no actual disposition of the shares
has occurred.



19







These and other similar provisions could
delay, prevent or impede an acquisition of us or our merger with another company, even if such an acquisition or merger would be
beneficial to us or to our shareholders.



Risks Related to the ADSs and the Trading of the
ADSs



The ADS price may be volatile,
and you may lose all or part of your investment.



The trading price of the ADSs has fluctuated, and is likely to continue to fluctuate.
The market price of the ADSs could be highly volatile
and may fluctuate substantially as a result of many factors, including:



| | • | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | variance in our financial performance from the expectations of market analysts;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - | ---------------------------------------



In addition, the stock markets have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of the ADSs, regardless
of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities,
securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. If we were involved in any similar litigation,
we could incur substantial costs and our management’s attention and resources could be diverted.



20







An active public trading market
for the ADSs may not be sustained.



We have requested that the TASE initiate
the process to delist our ordinary shares. In accordance with applicable Israeli law and the rules of the TASE, the last day our
ordinary shares will trade on the TASE will be June 13, 2019, and our ordinary shares will be delisted from the TASE on June 17,
2019. Until such delisting takes effect, our ordinary shares will continue to trade on the TASE while the ADSs will trade on the
Nasdaq. Prior to the completion of our initial public offering, no public market existed
for the ADSs. After the delisting of our ordinary shares from the TASE, we will be traded exclusively through the ADSs on the Nasdaq.
An active public trading market for the ADSs may not be sustained. If an active market for the ADSs does not develop, it may be
difficult for you to sell your ADSs.



We have broad discretion as to
the use of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and may not use such proceeds effectively.



We expect the net proceeds from our
initial public offering to meet our capital requirements until the second quarter of 2020. We currently intend to use the
net proceeds from our initial public offering to develop our therapeutic and diagnostic products, namely inodiftagene,
and for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements. For more information, see “Item
5.B.—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of
the net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds
from our initial public offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net
proceeds from our initial public offering in a manner that does not produce income.



If equity research analysts do
not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade the ADSs, the price of
the ADSs could decline.



The trading market for the ADSs relies in
part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. The price of the ADSs could decline
if one or more securities analysts downgrade the ADSs or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing
reports about us or our business.



As a foreign private issuer whose
ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq, we intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain Nasdaq
requirements.



As a foreign private issuer whose ADSs
are listed on the Nasdaq, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements
of the rules of the Nasdaq. As permitted under the Companies Law pursuant to our articles of association, the quorum for an ordinary
meeting of shareholders shall be the presence of at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument,
who hold at least 25% of the voting power of our shares (and in an adjourned meeting, with some exceptions, a minimum of one shareholder)
instead of 33 1⁄3% of our issued share capital as required under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. We may also adopt
and approve material changes to equity incentive plans in accordance with the Companies Law, which does not impose a requirement
of shareholder approval for such actions. We intend to follow Israeli corporate governance practice instead of the Nasdaq requirements
to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events (such as issuances that will result in a change of control, certain
transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or greater interest in us and certain acquisitions of the
stock or assets of another company). Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under the
Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Following our home country governance practices as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise
apply to a U.S. company listed on the Nasdaq may provide less protection than is accorded to investors of domestic issuers.



21







As a foreign private issuer, we
are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are exempt from certain reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
 “Exchange Act”).



We are a foreign private issuer and are
not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are
exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our
officers, directors, and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained
in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Furthermore, although under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, as an Israeli public
company listed on the Nasdaq, we are required to disclose the compensation of our five most highly compensated officers on an individual
basis, this disclosure is not as extensive as that required of U.S. domestic reporting companies. In addition, we are not required
under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC, as frequently or as
promptly as U.S. domestic reporting companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. These exemptions and leniencies
will reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections available to you in comparison to those applicable to a U.S.
domestic reporting companies.



If we cease to qualify as a foreign
private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic
issuers, and we would incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.



We would lose our foreign private issuer
status if a majority of our shares are owned by U.S. residents and a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens
or residents or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. We cannot assure
you that at June 30, 2019, the next determination date of our foreign private issuer status, we will qualify as a foreign private
issuer. If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer at this determination date, we will be required to begin reporting as
a domestic issuer on January 1, 2020. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer
may be significantly higher. If we are not a foreign private issuer, we will be required to file periodic reports and registration
statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign
private issuer, and we will be required to present our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP instead of in accordance
with IFRS as we currently do. We may also be required to modify certain of our policies to comply with accepted governance practices
associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, we would lose
our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private
issuers.



The market price of the ADSs could
be negatively affected by future sales of the ADSs.



Sales by us or our shareholders of a substantial
number of our ordinary shares or ADSs in the public markets, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the market
price of the ADSs to decline or could impair our ability to raise capital through a future sale of, or pay for acquisitions using,
our equity securities.



22







As of the date of this Annual Report on
Form 20-F, there are 37,099,352 ordinary shares, including 2,652,174 ADSs representing 13,260,870 ordinary shares outstanding.
Of our issued and outstanding shares, all of the ADSs sold in our initial public offering will be freely transferable, except for
any ADSs held by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). 15,813,214 ordinary shares that are beneficially owned by shareholders are subject to lock-up
agreements that restrict the holders’ ability to transfer the ADSs or the underlying ordinary shares until August 11, 2019,
when the applicable lock-ups expire. After the expiration of the lock-up period, these shares can be resold into the public markets
in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, subject to certain volume limitations.



Following the expiration of the lock-up
restrictions described above, the number of ordinary shares or ADSs that are potentially available for sale in the open market
will increase materially, which could make it harder for the value of our ordinary shares and ADSs to appreciate unless there is
a corresponding increase in demand for our ordinary shares and ADSs. This increase in available shares could result in the value
of your investment in the ADSs decreasing.



In addition, a sale by us of additional
ordinary shares, ADSs or similar securities in order to raise capital might have a similar negative impact on the share price of
our ordinary shares. A decline in the price of our ordinary shares or ADSs might impede our ability to raise capital through the
issuance of additional ordinary shares, ADSs or other equity securities, and may cause you to lose part or all of your investment
in our ordinary shares or ADSs.



We do not intend to pay dividends
in the foreseeable future.



We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on the ADSs. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our
business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our ordinary shares will be the investors’ sole source of gain for
the next several years. In addition, Israeli law limits our ability to declare and pay dividends, and may subject us to certain
Israeli taxes.



You may not receive the same distributions
or dividends as those we make to the holders of our ordinary shares, and, in some limited circumstances, you may not receive dividends
or other distributions on our ordinary shares and you may not receive any value for them, if it is illegal or impractical to make
them available to you.



The depositary for the ADSs has agreed to
pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on ordinary shares or other deposited securities
underlying the ADSs, after deducting its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of
ordinary shares your ADSs represent. However, the depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical
to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a holder of
ADSs if it consists of securities that require registration under the Securities Act, but that are not properly registered or distributed
under an applicable exemption from registration. In addition, conversion into U.S. dollars from foreign currency that was part
of a dividend made in respect of deposited ordinary shares may require the approval or license of, or a filing with, any government
or agency thereof, which may be unobtainable. In these cases, the depositary may determine not to distribute such property and
hold it as “deposited securities” or may seek to affect a substitute dividend or distribution, including net cash proceeds
from the sale of the dividends that the depositary deems an equitable and practicable substitute. We have no obligation to register
under U.S. securities laws any ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or other securities received through such distributions. We also have
no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or anything else to holders
of ADSs. In addition, the depositary may deduct from such dividends or distributions its fees and may withhold an amount on account
of taxes or other governmental charges to the extent the depositary believes it is required to make such withholding. This means
that you may not receive the same distributions or dividends as those we make to the holders of our ordinary shares, and, in some
limited circumstances, you may not receive any value for such distributions or dividends if it is illegal or impractical for us
to make them available to you. These restrictions may cause a material decline in the value of the ADSs.



23







ADS holders may not be entitled
to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the deposit agreement, which could augur less favorable results to the plaintiff(s)
in any such action.



The deposit agreement governing the ADSs
representing our ordinary shares provides that holders and beneficial owners of ADSs irrevocably waive the right to a trial by
jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the deposit agreement or the ADSs, including claims under federal securities
laws, against us or the depositary to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If this jury trial waiver provision is prohibited
by applicable law, an action could nevertheless proceed under the terms of the deposit agreement with a jury trial. To our knowledge,
the enforceability of a jury trial waiver under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court.
However, we believe that a jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable under the laws of the State of New York, which
govern the deposit agreement, by a court of the State of New York or a federal court, which have non-exclusive jurisdiction over
matters arising under the deposit agreement, applying such law. In determining whether to enforce a jury trial waiver provision,
New York courts and federal courts will consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement
is sufficiently prominent such that a party has knowingly waived any right to trial by jury. We believe that this is the case with
respect to the deposit agreement and the ADSs. In addition, New York courts will not enforce a jury trial waiver provision in order
to bar a viable setoff or counterclaim sounding in fraud or one that is based upon a creditor’s negligence in failing to
liquidate collateral upon a guarantor’s demand, or in the case of an intentional tort claim (as opposed to a contract dispute),
none of which we believe are applicable in the case of the deposit agreement or the ADSs. No condition, stipulation or provision
of the deposit agreement or ADSs serves as a waiver by any holder or beneficial owner of ADSs or by us or the depositary of compliance
with any provision of the federal securities laws. If you or any other holder or beneficial owner of ADSs brings a claim against
us or the depositary in connection with matters arising under the deposit agreement or the ADSs, you or such other holder or beneficial
owner may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits
against us and/or the depositary. If a lawsuit is brought against us and/or the depositary under the deposit agreement, it may
be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures
and may augur different results than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s)
in any such action, depending on, among other things, the nature of the claims, the judge or justice hearing such claims, and the
venue of the hearing.



Holders of ADSs must act through
the depositary to exercise their rights as our shareholders.



Holders of the ADSs do not have the same
rights of our shareholders and may only exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying ordinary shares in accordance
with the provisions of the deposit agreement for the ADSs. Under Israeli law and our articles of association, the minimum notice
period required to convene a shareholders’ meeting is no less than 35 or 14 calendar days, depending on the proposals on
the agenda for the shareholders meeting. When a shareholder meeting is convened, holders of the ADSs may not receive sufficient
notice of a shareholders’ meeting to permit them to withdraw their ordinary shares to allow them to cast their vote with
respect to any specific matter. In addition, the depositary and its agents may not be able to send voting instructions to holders
of the ADSs or carry out their voting instructions in a timely manner. We will make all reasonable efforts to cause the depositary
to extend voting rights to holders of the ADSs in a timely manner, but we cannot assure holders that they will receive the voting
materials in time to ensure that they can instruct the depositary to vote their ADSs. Furthermore, the depositary and its agents
are not responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the
effect of any such vote. As a result, holders of the ADSs may not be able to exercise their right to vote and they may lack recourse
if their ADSs are not voted as they requested. In addition, in the capacity as a holder of ADSs, they will not be able to call
a shareholders’ meeting.



You may be subject to limitations
on transfer of your ADSs.



Your ADSs are transferable on the books
of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient
in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers
of ADSs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary deem it advisable
to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, under any provision of the deposit agreement,
or for any other reason in accordance with the terms of the deposit agreement.



24









As a result of becoming a public
company, our management is required to devote substantial additional time to new compliance initiatives as well as to compliance
with ongoing U.S. and Israeli reporting requirements.



As a public company in the United States,
we incur significant additional accounting, legal and other expenses that we did not incur before our initial public offering.
We incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements of the SEC and the Nasdaq, as well as requirements under Section
404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs,
introduce new costs such as investor relations, stock exchange listing fees and shareholder reporting, and make some activities
more time consuming and costly. The implementation and testing of such processes and systems requires us to hire outside consultants
and incur other significant costs. Furthermore, if we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would incur significant
additional legal, accounting and other expenses in order to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and
Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Any future changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies in the United
States, including Section 404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
and the Nasdaq, for so long as they apply to us, will result in increased costs to us as we respond to such changes. These laws,
rules and regulations could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director
and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher
costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract
and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees, if any, or as executive officers.



Our U.S. shareholders may suffer
adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC.



Generally, if for any taxable year, 75%
or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of our assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive
income, we would be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we were a PFIC in 2017 and 2018
and, based on estimates of our gross income and gross assets, our intended use of the proceeds of our initial public offering,
and the nature of our business, we believe that we will be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2019.
Because PFIC status is based on our income, assets and activities for the entire taxable year, it is not possible to determine
with certainty whether we will be characterized as a PFIC for the 2019 taxable year until after the close of the year. Moreover,
we must determine our PFIC status annually based on tests that are factual in nature, and our status in future years will depend
on our income, assets and activities in those years. In any taxable year in which we are characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder, as defined in “Item 10.—Additional Information—Taxation—U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences,” that owns ADSs could face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including having gains
realized on the sale of the ADSs classified as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain, the loss of the preferential rate
applicable to dividends received on the ADSs by individuals who are U.S. Holders, and having interest charges apply to distributions
by us and the proceeds of ADS sales. Certain elections exist that may alleviate some adverse consequences of PFIC status and would
result in an alternative treatment (such as mark-to-market treatment) of the ADSs. If we are a PFIC in any year, U.S. Holders may
be subject to additional Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) filing requirements, including the filing of IRS Form 8621,
as a result of directly or indirectly owning stock of a PFIC. See “Item 10.—Additional Information—Taxation —U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences.”



We may be treated as a U.S. corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.



For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a
corporation generally is considered tax resident in the place of its incorporation. We are incorporated under the laws of the State
of Israel and, therefore, we should be a non-U.S. corporation under this general rule. However, Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), contains rules that may result in a foreign corporation being treated as a U.S.
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The application of these rules is complex and there is little guidance regarding
certain aspects of their application.



25







Under Section 7874 of the Code, a corporation
created or organized outside the United States will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes when (i) the
foreign corporation directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation,
(ii) the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% of the vote or value of the shares of the foreign
acquiring corporation by reason of holding stock in the U.S. acquired corporation, and (iii) the foreign corporation’s “expanded
affiliated group” does not have “substantial business activities” in the foreign corporation’s country
of incorporation relative to its expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities. For this purpose, “expanded affiliated
group” generally means the foreign corporation and all subsidiaries in which the foreign corporation, directly or indirectly,
owns more than 50% of the stock by vote and value, and “substantial business activities” generally means at least 25%
of employees (by number and compensation), assets and gross income of our expanded affiliated group are based, located and derived,
respectively, in the country of incorporation.



We were incorporated on September 22, 2011
under the laws of the State of Israel for the purpose of a reincorporation merger (“Reincorporation”), which merged
BTI with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioCancell Ltd (“BioCancell”). For more information on the Reincorporation,
see “Item 4 — History and Development of the Company.” We do not believe that we should be treated as a U.S.
corporation as a result of the Reincorporation under Section 7874 of the Code because we believe that we have substantial business
activities in Israel. However, the IRS may disagree with our conclusion on this point. In addition, there could be legislative
proposals to expand the scope of U.S. corporate tax residence and there could be changes to Section 7874 of the Code or the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder that could result in us being treated as a U.S. corporation.



If it were determined that we should be
treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could be liable for substantial additional U.S. federal
income tax on our taxable income since the Reincorporation. In addition, payments of dividends to non-U.S. holders may be subject
to U.S. withholding tax.



Failure to achieve and maintain
effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operation or financial condition. In addition, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in
our financial reporting, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of the ADSs.



Effective internal controls are necessary
for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We will be required to document and test our internal
control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management
assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy
of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure
that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section
404. Disclosing deficiencies or weaknesses in our internal controls, failing to remediate these deficiencies or weaknesses in a
timely fashion or failing to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment may cause investors to lose confidence
in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of the ADSs. If we cannot provide
reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed.



As an “emerging growth company”
under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements, which could make
the ADSs less attractive to investors.



For as long as we are deemed an emerging
growth company, we are permitted to and intend to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements
that are generally unavailable to other public companies, including:



| | • | an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required
by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”)
requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to
provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



26







We will be an emerging growth company until
the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more,
(ii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt, (iii)
December 31, 2024 or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated issuer” as defined in Regulation S-K
of the Securities Act.



We cannot predict if investors will find
the ADSs less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the ADSs less attractive as a result,
there may be a less active trading market for the ADSs and the market price of the ADSs may be more volatile.

A. History and Development of the Company



We were incorporated on September 22,
2011 under the laws of the State of Israel for the purpose of the Reincorporation which merged BTI with and into a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BioCancell. BTI was incorporated in the United States under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 26, 2004,
and commenced operations on October 1, 2004. The Reincorporation was consummated on August 14, 2012, and BTI survived
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioCancell until it was formally dissolved in the State of Delaware on December 28, 2012.
Following the Reincorporation, BioCancell became a public company with its ordinary shares listed on the TASE. In August 2018,
BioCancell changed its name to Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. and its ordinary shares continue to be traded on the TASE under that
name. Our principal executive offices are located at 1/3 High-Tech Village, Givat Ram, P.O. Box 392649, Jerusalem, 9139102 Israel
and our telephone number is +972 (2) 548-6555.



We wholly own a subsidiary, Anchiano Therapeutics
Israel Ltd. (formerly BioCanCell Therapeutics Israel Ltd.), which itself wholly owns a Delaware-incorporated subsidiary, called
Anchiano Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly BioCancell USA, Inc.) for the purpose of operating in the United States. Anchiano Therapeutics,
Inc. is subject to the tax laws of the State of Delaware.  Anchiano Therapeutics, Inc. acts as our agent for service of process
in the United States, and is located at One Kendall Square, Building 600, Suite 6-106, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 and the telephone
number for Anchiano Therapeutics, Inc. is +1 (857) 259-4622.



On January 7, 2019, we filed a registration
statement in connection with an initial public offering of ADSs in the United States and on February 12, 2019, the ADSs, representing
our ordinary shares, commenced trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “ANCN.”



Our capital expenditures for the years
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $0.2 million and $0.03 million, respectively. These capital expenditures were related
primarily to laboratory equipment purchases. We anticipate our capital expenditures in 2019 to be financed from the proceeds of
our February 2019 initial public offering.



The SEC maintains an Internet site that
contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
Our filings with the SEC are available to the public through this website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, since our ordinary
shares are traded on the TASE, we filed Hebrew language periodic and immediate reports with, and furnished information to, the
TASE and the Israeli Securities Authority (the “ISA”) as required under the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968. Since
the ADSs commenced trading on the Nasdaq, our reporting to the TASE and ISA is generally restricted to copies of our filings with
the SEC. Copies of our filings with the ISA can be retrieved electronically through the MAGNA distribution site of the ISA (www.magna.isa.gov.il)
and the TASE website (www.maya.tase.co.il).

B. Business Overview



Overview



We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company
committed to engineering a targeted gene therapy to improve the standard of care for early-stage bladder cancer. We have discovered
and are developing a biologic agent, inodiftagene, that we believe can deliver a new treatment to patients who have options that
are limited in effectiveness and problematic in toxicity. Bladder cancer is a disease that typically causes symptoms early in its
course and consequently presents the patient and the treating physician with an opportunity to gain control of the malignancy.
However, the limitations of existing therapies, developed in the 1970s, often result in a prolonged series of unsuccessful treatments
that can end in the radical removal of the bladder.



Our lead product candidate, inodiftagene,
is a recombinant DNA construct that will be administered to patients whose therapy for early stage bladder cancer has failed: this
is gene therapy for bladder cancer. Preclinical studies and clinical trials completed so far have demonstrated that our product
candidate can deliver a lethal gene specifically to bladder cancer cells in a patient’s bladder. We have conducted clinical
trials of inodiftagene in several malignancies, including bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer, and observed anti-cancer
activity in all of them. Based on our Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trial results, we believe its most promising application is
in the therapy of NMIBC in which it has the potential to improve patient outcomes substantially by delaying or in some cases eliminating
disease progression, and consequently may significantly bettering patient quality of life. Although there can be no assurance,
we also believe that the regulatory pathway to approval for commercialization and wide distribution of our product candidate in
NMIBC, based on our interactions with the FDA and other international regulators, is an extension of the clinical trial program
we have undertaken to date, and that the patient population for which our clinical development program is designed exhibits a significant
unmet need for novel therapeutic approaches. Our proposed clinical development plan includes two pivotal clinical studies, either
of which we believe may support FDA regulatory approval, and which together will provide access to a large share of this affected
population and differentiate us from competitive approaches.



Inodiftagene is a biological agent designed
and formulated to deliver a toxic gene to bladder cells in a manner that results in the gene being active only in the bladder tumor
with consequent killing of the malignant cells. The engineered gene has been compounded with an agent that enhances and optimizes
the efficiency of its delivery to tissue. In experiments we can demonstrate uptake of inodiftagene by 85% of target cells after
a single exposure.



We have tested inodiftagene in six clinical
trials, three of which involved NMIBC patients, and we have observed substantial anti-tumor activity. The data from the three NMIBC
trials demonstrate in Phase 1/2 and Phase 2 studies that: (i) inodiftagene causes complete responses in 33% of bladder cancer patients
with unresected measurable tumors; (ii) one-year and two-year recurrence-free survival rates were 46% and 33%, respectively; and
(iii) we can administer inodiftagene with BCG, the standard of care for NMIBC, with recurrence-free outcomes of 95% and 78% at
three and six months, respectively.



We believe that these studies support the
potential for inodiftagene to provide new therapies for NMIBC patients. NMIBC affects a large population in the United States as
well as worldwide. In 2018, it was expected that approximately 81,000 new cases of bladder cancer would be diagnosed in the United
States. Nearly 141,000 new cases in the European Union are expected to be diagnosed in 2020. 75% of these cases will be NMIBC,
the earliest stage in bladder cancer classification. The diagnosis of primary bladder cancer leads to a cycle of cystoscopic evaluation,
surgical resection, and medical therapy, that is repeated as treatments fail successively and additional treatments are attempted.
The standard medical treatment for NMIBC, BCG, is live tuberculosis bacteria that has been attenuated, or weakened in the laboratory,
administered into the bladder. Most treatments with BCG ultimately fail and result in tumor recurrence. Because of this prolonged
natural history of early presentation and repeated treatment failures, it was estimated that in the United States in 2015, the
latest year good estimates were available, about 710,000 patients will be living with bladder cancer. Moreover, it is the most
costly cancer to treat in the United States, with annual costs that were estimated at over $4 billion in 2010, and costs of care
for an individual nearing $200,000. Despite the need for new approaches to treat this disease, no drug has been approved by the
FDA for the treatment of NMIBC since 1998. Patients with bladder cancer whose therapy has failed make up a large population of
patients desperately in need of new therapies.



28







There are two distinct populations of unmet
need in the field of NMIBC treatment: (1) those patients for whom two treatments with standard BCG have failed, who are termed
BCG-unresponsive, and (2) those for whom one BCG treatment has failed. Accordingly we are planning two pivotal clinical trials
in NMIBC patients: (i) a single-arm Phase 2 study of inodiftagene in patients with BCG-unresponsive disease (the “Codex Clinical
Trial”) and (ii) a randomized trial in patients whose disease has recurred after a single course of standard BCG therapy
(the “Leo Clinical Trial”). Both of these studies have been reviewed by the FDA and other international regulatory
bodies. The FDA has granted our program Fast Track designation for regulatory review. Additionally, the Phase 3 Leo Clinical Trial
has been granted a SPA by the FDA as well. While there are several planned and ongoing trials that address the BCG-unresponsive
patient population, in our view our clinical development program in patients whose disease recurs after a first course of BCG sets
us apart and differentiates us from competitors. Based on market data, including a commissioned independent research study, we
believe the potential market for inodiftagene, should it achieve regulatory approval for both indications in the United States,
the European Union and Japan, is over $1.5 billion.



We believe that the inodiftagene development
program in early-stage bladder cancer may potentially allow us to meet the regulatory requirements for the development of a new
therapy for this malignancy.

CR: complete response; DLT: dose-limiting toxicity; MTD: maximum
tolerated dose; PFS: progression-free survival; PR: partial response; RFS: recurrence-free survival



The emphasis of our development program
is on NMIBC, and at this time, we do not plan additional studies in pancreatic or ovarian cancer. The six completed trials detailed
above were conducted in leading academic medical centers in Israel, and the two pivotal studies, the Codex Clinical Trial and Leo
Clinical Trial, will be conducted in the United States and internationally.



29







The clinical trial results we have obtained
demonstrate that inodiftagene has anti-cancer activity in bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer and ovarian cancer, all difficult-to-treat
malignancies. Inodiftagene is well-tolerated, and side effects have been largely mild to moderate, and in bladder cancer patients
involved primarily the lower urinary tract. The data suggests that the most promising application of inodiftagene is in the therapy
of early-stage bladder cancer. Thus we have focused the development of inodiftagene in NMIBC.



Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: The Problem



Bladder cancer affects a very large population
of patients in the United States and worldwide. It is the fourth most common cancer in men in the United States, being more common
in men than in women, and is the fifth most common cancer in Europe overall. When incidence in the European Union and Japan is
also considered, the combined global market encompasses an estimated 260,000 new cases per year. Despite being a common malignancy,
it has not been the focus of new drug development. The last drug approved by the FDA for NMIBC was registered in 1998. New therapies
are needed.







Source: ACS Facts and Figures 2018.



NMIBC is a cancer that is situated superficially
in the lining of the bladder. Typically NMIBC is detected early in its course, when tumors are small, and because it is superficial,
the most frequent first symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the patient’s urine. Evaluation by the physician involves visual
examination of the inner surface of the bladder using a cystoscope, and diagnosis entails urine cytology, biopsy and pathological
examination. Tumors are classified according to the depth they penetrate into the bladder, as illustrated below. The NMIBC subset
of tumors is shown below, lettered in green.







Non-muscle invasive tumors that involve
only the inner surface of the bladder can be flat (“Tis," also known as carcinoma-in-situ (“CIS”)) or raised
(“Ta”). A raised tumor can also begin to invade the next layer of the bladder (classed as a T1 lesion) and still be
classified as NMIBC. Once tumors invade the inner or outer muscle layers, they are called muscle invasive bladder cancer (“MIBC”).
Approximately 75% of bladder cancer cases are initially NMIBC.



30







The urologist surgically removes the evident
tumors that are resectable using the cystoscope by trans-urethral resection (“TUR”). Then, if the tumor characteristics
lead it to be classified as intermediate or high risk for recurrence and progression, additional medical therapies are introduced
through a catheter into the bladder.



The FDA-approved standard therapeutic agent
for intermediate and high-risk NMIBC is BCG, administered into the bladder after TUR over a one- to three-year course of treatment.
Although initial results with BCG are good, side effects can be substantial, including urinary symptoms, bleeding from the bladder,
bladder inflammation, fever, and in rare instances, contraction by the patient of tuberculosis, sepsis and death. The eventual
relapse rates from the first course of therapy are estimated by experts in the field to be 50% by four years and as high as 70%
by ten years. After a failed first treatment, urologic practice guidelines recommend that a second course of BCG be attempted.
When used a second time, the efficacy of BCG falls. The relapse rate after a second course of BCG was approximately 75% at one
year in a recent randomized study. Most patients, therefore, experience a failure of BCG treatment.



As a result of the way BCG is used, there
are two populations of unmet need in NMIBC treatment: (1) patients who have experienced recurrence following two courses of BCG,
and (2) patients who have experienced recurrence following one course of BCG. This is illustrated below:







The first unmet need in the treatment of
the NMIBC is for patients who have been treated with two courses of BCG and then experienced recurrence. In this situation, there
are no other medical therapies that are recommended as standard of care. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy and experimental treatments
have been tested in these patients, but these are not approved. Patients whose NMIBC has failed to respond after two treatments
with BCG are considered to have what is formally termed BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. Lacking a standard, FDA-approved therapeutic agent,
treatment guidelines recommend that these patients undergo radical cystectomy, or bladder removal. Thus the first major unmet need
in the NMIBC population is for new therapies for patients whose two courses of BCG treatment have been unsuccessful, who therefore
need a third line of therapy, and who face the debility and compromised quality of life that accompany the removal of the bladder.



The second unmet need in the treatment of
the NMIBC is for patients earlier in their course of treatment, those whose first course of BCG therapy has failed. These patients
are at very high risk for the subsequent failure of a second BCG treatment, and for becoming BCG-unresponsive. There is an opportunity
to treat patients after their first treatment, in the second line, so as to prevent or delay ultimate recurrence and progression.
The population of patients whose single course of BCG has failed comprises a larger population than those patients whose BCG therapies
have failed twice.



The FDA and leading urological societies
have worked together to formulate an approach to developing new therapeutic agents for BCG-unresponsive disease. This approach
has been published in several forums, including the FDA’s Guidance for Industry on BCG-unresponsive Nonmuscle Invasive
Bladder Cancer(2018). Our pivotal clinical program has been developed in conjunction with key opinion leaders in the field
of urological cancer, and in close consultation with the FDA, and is consistent with the published guidance. We believe our program
is consistent with the FDA-delineated path to the regulatory approval of inodiftagene in both of these areas of unmet need.

Our Competitive Strengths



Inodiftagene is a recombinant DNA plasmid-based
agent designed and formulated to introduce a toxic gene into cells that is only activated in malignant cells, and when turned on
in those cells, is lethal to them. It is a specifically targeted therapy. It is conceived to optimize efficacy and minimize side
effects by focusing its cytotoxic effects in cancer cells only. Specifically, we believe our competitive strengths to be the following:



| | • | Inodiftagene is a targeted therapy.Our product candidate is designed so that its lethal payload is activated
specifically in cancer cells. This has two effects. The first effect is that the anti-tumor effect is concentrated in the cancer.
Inodiftagene delivers a potent toxin when it is internalized by cells. The toxin is not produced where it is not needed, in normal
tissues in the bladder or elsewhere in the body. The second effect is that the cytotoxic effect is limited to the cancer. Normal
bladder cells do not produce the toxin, and suffer no damage as a result of therapy. Data from our clinical trials are consistent
with this proposed mechanism of action of inodiftagene. Side effects are typically mild to moderate, and comprise mainly bladder
symptoms, because this is the only place where the toxin is produced.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Our clinical data strongly support the activity of inodiftagene against cancer.We have completed six clinical
trials in patients with cancer: three in NMIBC patients and three in patients with ovarian or pancreatic cancer. We have demonstrated
complete responses in unresected bladder cancer, as well as robust evidence of single-agent activity against the difficult-to-treat
malignancies of pancreatic and ovarian cancer. The body of clinical data validates the anti-tumor mechanism of action of inodiftagene
in multiple tumors types, and especially in bladder cancer.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Our development plan addresses two unmet NMIBC needs.We have expanded our development program so that we can
investigate inodiftagene in two clinical settings concurrently. The BCG-unresponsive, third-line clinical setting is the subject
of our first trial, the Codex Clinical Trial. This setting is attractive for drug development because it supports a single-arm
clinical trial of modest size. The FDA has provided clear guidance for the development of new agents in BCG-unresponsive patients,
and our clinical trial has been designed in accordance with FDA input. However, we have taken our agent a step further, studying
its activity and safety when administered in combination with BCG. This second-line population is a larger patient population,
and the unmet need here is no less substantial than in third-line patients. We plan to undertake a clinical trial in the second-line
setting, the Leo Clinical Trial. The demonstration of the feasibility of administering inodiftagene in conjunction with BCG lays
the foundation for clinical trials in the large population of newly diagnosed, first-line NMIBC patients who are candidates for
standard BCG treatment.

| | • | We have positive FDA input on our pivotal development program.The FDA has stated that the single-arm Codex Clinical
Trial may support approval in the BCG-unresponsive patient population. The FDA has granted us an SPA for the conduct of the Leo
Clinical Trial. We believe this demonstrates that the eligible patent population, design, methods, and endpoints of the trial are
all in keeping with the requirements for approval in patients whose first treatment with BCG has failed and who can be treated
with BCG in combination with inodiftagene. Of note, the SPA does not guarantee that our trial results will be adequate to support
approval. Both studies have also been reviewed and are supported by regulatory agencies in Canada and Europe.

Our Solution: Gene Therapy for NMIBC with Inodiftagene



The biologically active ingredient of inodiftagene
is a recombinant DNA plasmid that directs the expression of a potent toxin specifically in malignant cells but not in normal tissue.
It has been designed to enable the delivery of a gene for a lethal bacterial toxin from diphtheria so that the toxin is specifically
expressed and activated only in bladder cancer. This focuses the anti-cancer activity of the gene to only the cancer cells, and
limits the side effects of the gene mainly to the malignant tissue and the bladder. We do this by exploiting the established biology
of the H19 gene, which is turned off in most normal adult cells, but turned on at high levels primarily in malignant cells.



The H19 gene has a restricted pattern of
expression rendering it potentially useful for the targeted delivery of therapies to cancer. H19 is an example of a class of molecules
called long non-coding RNAs that serve as regulatory elements in normal cells. It is also considered an oncofetal RNA gene and
is highly expressed in the placenta during pregnancy, but not normally expressed in adult tissues. However, its expression is turned
on in malignancy, in human bladder cancers, as well as in many other tumors, including ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung
cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, brain cancer, leukemia, and others. H19 is a gene of fundamental importance to cancer
cells. The abnormal upregulation of H19 expression in malignancy is due to alterations in availability and activity of factors
in the cell that turn genes on and off, and the regulatory controls of the H19 gene that respond to these factors, the molecular
switches, as it were, have been well characterized. These regulatory switches can be used to control whether a gene is turned on
or off in a manner that prevents the gene from being on in normal tissues and that turns it on in malignant cells that express
H19.



Diphtheria toxin is a potent cellular toxin
and is a favorable choice for anti-cancer targeting. Its biology and mechanisms of action are well understood. It is a toxin that
potently and completely inhibits the ability of targeted cells to make normal proteins, thereby killing them. Single copies of
this toxin are lethal to a cell. Moreover, the inhibitory activity of the toxin is encompassed entirely in the A chain of the molecule
(DTA) while the B chain is necessary for cellular entry. The introduction and expression of the gene encoding DTA, as occurs with
inodiftagene, is lethal to the target cell, but because it cannot transfer to neighboring tissue, not to surrounding cells.



The structure of inodiftagene is illustrated
below. The H19 regulatory sequences, which control the turning on of DTA expression, are represented in blue in the illustration
below. They have been isolated and engineered using recombinant DNA techniques so that they are juxtaposed to the gene for DTA.
The DTA gene is represented in green on the right in the illustration.







When inodiftagene enters a tumor containing
H19 expressing cells, the engineered gene becomes active, producing the lethal diphtheria toxin. Following administration into
the bladder, cellular toxicity due to DTA expression is bladder cancer-specific. H19 is expressed in adults mostly in malignant
tissue. Plasmid taken up in normal cells remains unexpressed. In addition, due to the absence of the B chain subunit, if toxin
is released from dying cells it is not taken up by other normal cells. As a result, inodiftagene is a specifically targeted therapy
for bladder cancer.



Inodiftagene DNA is combined with Polyethylenimine (“PEI”).
PEI facilitates the entry of inodiftagene into rapidly dividing cells and improves efficiency of transmission. Experiments in the
laboratory demonstrate that inodiftagene complexed with PEI is efficiently taken into more than 85% of cells following a single
exposure.



33







Our Pre-clinical Data with Inodiftagene



Laboratory studies have also confirmed that
protein synthesis is inhibited in tumor cells treated with inodiftagene, and that inodiftagene attenuates the proliferation of
cancer cells in vitro.



In animal models, inodiftagene is active
against bladder cancer. Experiments show that DTA is produced in bladder tumors after treatment in the organ. In a rat tumor model,
it was shown that bladder tumors growing in the bladder could be effectively treated with two administrations of inodiftagene.
In vitrostudies with this cell line confirmed that the mechanism of action is via the dose-dependent expression of DTA
driven by the H19 regulatory sequences.



Additional studies were performed in a model
of bladder carcinogenesis due to the ingestion of nitrosamine by rats. In this experimental model, rats reproducibly develop visible
bladder tumors after approximately 20 weeks of nitrosamine dietary supplementation. Administration of inodiftagene is effective
in reducing mean tumor dimensions and weight and leads to complete eradication of tumors in some animals. This is illustrated below,
in which the animal in the left panel received control (placebo) therapy (see the tumors in the green circles), and the animal
in the right panel was treated with inodiftagene. These data formed the basis for the initial clinical development of inodiftagene
in patients with bladder cancer.







Clinical studies have demonstrated that inodiftagene DNA is
detectable after administration in patients’ bladder tumors and for more than 48 hours after a single two-hour exposure in
patients’ urine.



IND-Enabling Studies



IND-enabling studies for inodiftagene included
four repeated-dose non-clinical toxicology experiments conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”)
Regulations in mice and rats.



In these studies, intraperitoneal (“IP”),
intravesical, or intravenous (“IV”) administration of either inodiftagene (plasmid + PEI) or plasmid alone was employed
to evaluate the toxicity. Inodiftagene (alone and in combination with PEI) was well tolerated and no mortality occurred in any
of the test article-treated animals. In the two studies supporting the bladder cancer indication (inodiftagene administered in
complex with PEI via IP or intravesical administration) the “no observed adverse event level” (“NOAEL”)
of inodiftagene plasmid was determined to be >10 mg/kg in both mice and rats. Biodistribution and pharmacokinetics were evaluated
as part of the GLP toxicology studies of inodiftagene via intravesical administration. Biodistribution of inodiftagene was primarily
limited to the bladder and kidneys.



Chemistry, manufacturing and controls studies
are ongoing.



Inodiftagene Clinical Trial Experience



Our development of inodiftagene will focus
on its utilization in NMIBC. However, we have also studied inodiftagene in other cancers in the clinic, testing it in patients
with ovarian cancer and with pancreatic cancer. In both of these clinical settings, inodiftagene has demonstrated evidence of anti-cancer
activity, supporting its mechanism of action against cancer. Clinical trials to date have been carried out in leading academic
medical centers in Israel.



34







Studies in ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer



Our initial experience with ovarian cancer
involved a patient diagnosed with ovarian cancer that was metastatic to the abdominal cavity and refractory to treatment, resulting
in the accumulation of malignant ascites, or fluid. An ultrasound of her abdomen, showing ascites outlined in red, is shown in
the first ultrasound below. Cells from her ascites were isolated and were shown to express H19, and thus she was deemed a candidate
for compassionate use treatment with inodiftagene. Inodiftagene was instilled into her abdomen weekly for seven treatments, and
then every two weeks for treatments eight through ten. Her initial treatment was associated with nausea, fever, and vomiting, but
these symptoms resolved after the third instillation. The fluid decreased after treatment, and resolved completely after treatment
ten. This is shown in the second ultrasound below, revealing no residual fluid. Although inodiftagene clearly has activity in this
clinical circumstance, it is probable that the large volume of ascites present in most patients suffering from this stage of ovarian
cancer precludes achieving effective concentrations of inodiftagene in ovarian cancer cells.







We also have tested the drug in patients
with pancreatic cancer. We conducted a Phase 1/2 dose-escalation study in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The study
enrolled nine patients with pancreatic cancer that had been deemed unresectable. Patients were administered escalating doses of
inodiftagene either via computed-tomography (“CT”) guided injection, or via endoscopic ultrasound injection. Patients
were assessed for response and for possible resection after injection. Nine patients completed screening and received treatment.
Again the drug injection was well tolerated, and adverse events were mostly mild to moderate, with four adverse events being considered
possibly related to the study drug. No serious adverse events occurred in patients treated with inodiftagene. Anti-tumor activity
was evident: two of the nine patients, or approximately 22%, demonstrated partial responses following treatment with no other interventions.



We conducted a second study of inodiftagene
in patients with advanced localized pancreatic cancer eligible for chemotherapy treatment. In this study, patients were administered
standard gemcitabine chemotherapy, and in conjunction received intratumoral injections of inodiftagene. Twelve patients were enrolled.
The primary endpoint of the study was PFS, and median PFS was 9.3 months in patients who received 8 milligrams (mg) of inodiftagene,
and 7.6 months in patients who received 12 mg of inodiftagene. One of 12 patients demonstrated a partial response, and eight patients
had stable disease. In these patients receiving concurrent gemcitabine chemotherapy, Grade 3 (Severe) adverse events were reported
in most patients, most attributable to the chemotherapy. Ten patients (83%) reported serious adverse events following treatment
in the study, none were considered by the investigator to be related to inodiftagene, and one patient reported a serious adverse
event considered to be related to gemcitabine.



35







Response rates for standard gemcitabine
chemotherapy in unresectable pancreatic cancer are typically less than 10%, and PFS is typically in the range of four to six months.
Again, activity is present in this difficult-to-treat malignancy. However, it is likely that delivery of inodiftagene uniformly
to cells in a large pancreatic tumor will be suboptimal due to the constraints of having to inject the gene into only a subset
of tumor cells at any single injection site.



Studies in refractory ovarian cancer and
unresectable pancreatic cancer both demonstrated activity of inodiftagene against the malignancy. These data strongly validate
the mechanism of directing toxic therapy to tumors using H19.



Studies in NMIBC



NMIBC offers several advantages as a therapeutic
target. First, for optimal activity, inodiftagene therapy requires contact with tumors so that the malignant cells internalize
the gene. This is difficult to achieve in ovarian cancer with ascites, given the large volume of fluid in the abdomen, or in pancreatic
cancer, given the requirement for the injection of inodiftagene into only the part of the tumor that is accessible radiologically.
In bladder cancer, inodiftagene can be instilled into the bladder, allowing it to coat the entire lining of the bladder where the
tumor resides. Second, the standard of care in bladder cancer is to resect all papillary tumors of grade Ta or T1. The goal of
therapy for these tumors is thus not to eradicate established large tumors, but to prevent the emergence of microscopic tumor recurrences;
the macroscopic tumor has been removed. Inodiftagene will optimally have access to these microscopic recurrences when it is administered
intravesically into the bladder. Third, CIS tumors, which are typically identified but not resected, are flat lesions, only a few
cells thick. This tumor geometry is optimal for contact with the DNA of inodiftagene, allowing the gene to access the malignant
cells. Finally, the large patient population of NMIBC, coupled with the lack of available new and effective therapeutic agents,
creates a substantial unmet need, and an opportunity for the novel approach of inodiftagene. For these reasons, NMIBC is an optimal
target for inodiftagene therapy.



We carried out three clinical trials in
NMIBC: a Phase 1/2 study and a Phase 2 study of inodiftagene monotherapy, and a Phase 2 study of inodiftagene administered in combination
with BCG.



The two monotherapy studies included a unique
feature that allowed for assessment of the responses of unresected papillary (Ta and T1) tumors: assessment of marker lesions.
The standard approach to treating these tumors is to resect them via TUR so that no residual tumor is left behind. However, following
TUR the ability of an investigational agent to cause tumor shrinkage cannot be evaluated directly. The FDA, in its Guidance
for Industry on BCG-unresponsive Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer(2018), recommends that studies should be conducted in which
marker lesions are left in place after TUR to assess antitumor activity. This approach was utilized in both the monotherapy studies.



Phase 1/2 study



The initial Phase 1/2 study of inodiftagene
was a dose-escalation study that enrolled patients with recurrent low-grade NMIBC. A total of 18 patients were treated with escalating
doses. The mean age of patients was 71 years. Patients had a mean of five prior occurrences (range: one to 15 occurrences). Ten
out of the 18 patients, or approximately 56%, had two or fewer recurrences in the past two years. 17 of the 18 patients, or approximately
94%, had received prior BCG, and several patients had also received various chemotherapeutic agents. This was a population of patients
with multiple recurrent NMIBC refractory to prior BCG.



At entry in this study, patients underwent
resection of all disease except one marker lesion 0.5 to 1.0 centimeter, or cm, in size. Patients were then treated with intravesical
inodiftagene. The response of the marker lesion was assessed at 12 weeks, and residual tumor was removed at that time.



36











The primary efficacy assessment was overall
response rate (complete and partial) as directly visualized by cystoscopy at week 12. In four of the 18 patients, or approximately
22%, complete responses were observed. A cystoscopic photograph of a lesion demonstrating complete tumor disappearance is shown
above. In an additional four of the 18 patients, or approximately 22%, partial responses (>50% shrinkage) were observed. Total
responses were observed in eight out of the 18 patients, or approximately 44%. H19 expression was detected in all patients at baseline.
12 of the 18 patients, or approximately 66.7%, were recurrence-free at three months, and approximately 44.4% and 33.3% were recurrence-free
at 12 months and 24 months, respectively.



In the initial Phase 1/2 study, inodiftagene
was well-tolerated. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed or reported, and no deaths occurred during the study or during the
follow-up period. The most frequently reported adverse events considered to be at least possibly related to inodiftagene for any
dose cohort were mild to moderate in severity and were most commonly renal and urinary disorders. Mild bladder discomfort and painful
urination, or dysuria, were reported in 11.1% and 16.7% of patients, respectively. Moderate dysuria and urination urgency were
reported in 5.6% and 16.7% of the patients, respectively. Severe urination urgency was reported by one patient (5.6%) after the
fourth intravesical treatment. In total, approximately 44% of patients had a urinary tract infection during the study, of which
17% were considered related to other investigational procedures such as the video-cystoscopy, catheterization, or surgical resection.
Mild diarrhea, hypertension, and asthenia (physical weakness) were reported in 11.1%, 16.7 %, and 11.1% of patients, respectively.
Laboratory adverse events considered possibly related to treatment included: increased blood creatinine (22.1%); leucopenia, or
reduced white blood cells (11.1%); and increased alkaline phosphates, anemia, and leukocytes in the urine (5.6% each). One serious
adverse event considered possibly related to study treatment, urinary urgency requiring hospitalization, occurred in the study.



Phase 2 study



Following the Phase 1/2 study, a Phase
2 study of inodiftagene was completed in patients with superficial bladder cancer of intermediate risk. The primary endpoint in
this study was to determine tumor recurrence in resected patients. A secondary endpoint was response rate of marker lesions. Patients
with histologically confirmed superficial bladder cancer with recurrent stage Ta (any grade) or T1 (low-grade) NMIBC were eligible
to enter the study. Patients with CIS lesions were excluded. All patients had tumors that were H19 positive. Patients must have
failed at least one prior conventional therapy including either BCG or chemotherapy and, as in the Phase 1 study, have one tumor
 ≤1.0 cm in diameter to serve as a “marker” tumor after removal of all other tumors.



37







A total of 47 patients were treated in this
study. Approximately 81%, or 38 patients, had received prior BCG therapy, and more than half of the patients received other therapies
as well. 45% of the patients had received two or more prior treatments. Eight patients were not evaluable due to protocol violations
and early withdrawal.



At the time of primary assessment, 13 patients,
or approximately 33% of the per-protocol treatment population, had complete disappearance of the marker lesion, and no new lesions
were reported. 26 patients, or approximately 55%, in the intent-to-treat population and 64% of patients in the per-protocol population
had no new lesions at three months (the primary endpoint). Median time to recurrence for both the ITT and per-protocol populations
was approximately 11.3 months. As shown in the figure below, approximately 46% and 36% of patients were free of recurrence at 12
and 18 months, respectively, and 33% remained recurrence-free at 24 months. Treatment was very well tolerated. No patients discontinued
because of treatment-related adverse events.







The most commonly reported adverse events,
similar to those experienced in the Phase 1/2 study, were renal and urinary disorders (29.8%), including urinary frequency (14.9%),
painful urination (10.6%), urination urgency (6.4%), and urinary retention (6.4%), as well as urinary tract infections (10.6%).
Other adverse events included increased blood potassium (10.6%) and lack of energy, chills, fever and nausea (6.4% each). Serious
adverse events included urinary retention and a urinary tract infection in a patient who required TUR of the prostate; a myocardial
infarction (heart attack), which was not considered to be related to the administration of inodiftagene; and hematuria (blood in
urine) (2.1% each). Only the event of hematuria was considered by the treating investigator to be possibly related to the study
treatment, though also probably related to study procedure.



We also tested inodiftagene in combination
with BCG. We carried out a Phase 2 study in 38 patients eligible for BCG treatment. Three different combination schedules were
evaluated with a primary objective of evaluating the safety of the combination. The administration of inodiftagene in combination
with BCG was feasible and well tolerated, with three severe adverse events reported, none of which were considered related to inodiftagene.



Tumor recurrence rate and progressive disease
rate were not statistically significantly different among the three regimens. The overall recurrence-free survival rate was 54%,
and the progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 76%. At 18 months, the median time to recurrence and its confidence limits could
not be calculated according to Kaplan-Meier survival analysis because a large percentage of patients had no recurrence. The overall
recurrence-free survival and progression-free survival are illustrated in the table below. The three- and six-month RFS of the
combination was 95% and 78%, respectively. These results compare favorably with the historical experience of BCG alone, which report
three-month RFS of 51% to 85%.



38











Administration of inodiftagene and BCG was
well tolerated. Overall, 25 of the 38 patients, or approximately 65.8%, experienced adverse events during the study. The incidence
of adverse events was similar among the treatment groups and most adverse events were mild. These included urinary tract infection
(29%), dysuria (21%) and hematuria (13%). One patient (3%) had a serious event which occurred on the study after initiation of
treatment. That patient had heart palpitations that were not considered related to either inodiftagene or BCG nor related to study
procedures. Overall, 26% of patients experienced an adverse event related to BCG, while 11% of patients experienced an adverse
event related to inodiftagene, which we believe suggests a relative advantage in safety profile of inodiftagene compared to the
standard therapy of BCG.



Summary of results in NMIBC clinical trials



We conducted three clinical trials in patients
with NMIBC and observed the following significant findings:



| | • | Complete responses of unresected tumors occurred in all three studies. The complete response rates in unresected papillary
marker lesions in the Phase 1/2 and Phase 2 trials were 22% and 33%, respectively. Although CIS patients were uncommon in our trials,
six out of seven patients, or approximately 86%, exhibited a complete response.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Recurrence-free survival (“RFS”) in the two monotherapy studies was consistent. In both studies the RFS at 24 months
was approximately 33%.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Inodiftagene can be given together with BCG. The combination Phase 2 study demonstrated that co-administration is feasible,
and three-month RFS was 95%.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Inodiftagene is well tolerated when given intravesically. Most adverse events are mild or moderate and involve the lower urinary
tract. Systemic adverse events are uncommon.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Although there can be no assurance, taken
together and based on our discussions with regulators, we believe positive results in the pivotal clinical trials will likely support
a path to FDA and wider regulatory approval for inodiftagene.



Regulatory Pathway



Because of the significant unmet need of
patients with NMIBC whose therapy with BCG has failed, the FDA and the American Urological Association (the “AUA”)
have worked together to devise guidelines for developing new agents for NMIBC. We have closely followed this guidance. Furthermore,
we believe that the clear prescriptions provided by the FDA in this arena create a fertile landscape for the development of new
agents in general, and inodiftagene in particular.



39







Most BCG therapy for patients with NMIBC
ultimately fails. A subgroup of patients whose BCG treatment fails repeatedly are defined in the literature and by the FDA as “BCG-unresponsive.”
BCG-unresponsive patients are those patients with either persistent or recurrent high-grade NMIBC tumors who have been adequately
treated, typically twice, with BCG. Apart from BCG therapy, no other standard-of-care medical treatments exist, and the currently
recommended therapy for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC is cystectomy, either partial or radical. However, because of concomitant conditions,
many patients are not candidates for major surgery such as cystectomy. These patients must currently rely on options with minimal
effectiveness in this situation (such as instillations of chemotherapeutic agents or repeat TURs).



The FDA and the AUA together convened a
workshop to address the development of new therapies for patients with NMIBC in 2014. The workshop participants addressed the BCG-unresponsive
patient population. They agreed that there was no consensus standard-of-care approach for these patients apart from cystectomy
and that no therapy could be agreed upon to serve as a control for randomized clinical studies in this setting. Lacking the ability
for investigators to conduct randomized controlled clinical trials, the participants recommended that single-arm Phase 2 studies
could support regulatory approval for these patients. Moreover, for patients with CIS lesions, guidance on the desired endpoint
was provided as well. It was recommended that a study achieving at least a 30% recurrence-free survival at 18 to 24 months, with
a sample size with statistical confidence that excluded a lower boundary of 20%, would be appropriate.



A more detailed FDA draft guidance document
was published in November 2016 and finalized in February 2018, entitled BCG-Unresponsive Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer:
Developing Drugs and Biologics for Treatment: Guidance for Industry, which re-states and extends the recommendations of the
FDA/AUA workshop. The FDA recommends that early-stage development of agents for NMIBC should involve demonstration of activity
against extant disease, for example, in marker lesion studies. The guidance defines BCG-unresponsive patients. Furthermore, the
guidance states that for patients with unresponsive NMIBC for whom no standard therapy apart from radical cystectomy exists, a
single-arm study design is appropriate, and the complete response rate and duration of complete response are relevant efficacy
endpoints in patients with CIS. The final guidance further emphasized the study of CIS patients in single-arm trials and provides
more detailed definitions of BCG-unresponsive disease and adequate BCG therapy. The definition provided for the BCG-unresponsive
population was clarified, with the FDA recommending that the definition of treatment failure apply to patients who had failed one
induction and one maintenance course of BCG at a minimum. In addition, it specified that a single-arm trial in the BCG-unresponsive
patient population should employ a primary endpoint of complete response in CIS patients.



Finally, the FDA has recommended that a
development program that assesses response rate in a single arm trial design may require a confirmatory trial after approval. They
commented that a randomized trial in a different population, and a design that tests BCG plus/minus the investigational drug, might
be appropriate.



These recommendations have provided, in
essence, a road map to drug development and approval in this setting. We have followed this road map. We have employed marker lesions
trial designs to demonstrate a complete response rate over 30%. We have also demonstrated RFS of over 30% at 24 months in our two
monotherapy trials. Additionally, we have tested inodiftagene in combination with BCG as the foundation for a trial that could
be confirmatory. We believe these initial clinical data are suggestive of antitumor activity that could attain FDA approval for
BCG-unresponsive disease.



Our Clinical Trial Program



Our pivotal clinical trial program was developed
with input from the FDA and from regulatory agencies in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany.



We submitted our IND application for inodiftagene
in 2008. In 2015, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to inodiftagene. We undertook discussion with the FDA regarding our Phase
2 path to development at an “End of Phase 2” meeting in 2014. We also discussed our Phase 3 study of inodiftagene in
combination with BCG with the FDA in 2014, and were granted an SPA at that time. In 2016, we discussed our program with Health
Canada. We also met with the AEMPS (Spanish Agency of Medicines) in 2015, the Paul Ehrlich Institute in Germany in 2014, the MHRA
(Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency) in the United Kingdom in 2017, and the ANSM (French Medicines Regulatory Agency) in
2018. All of these discussions have resulted in concurrence with our proposed development plans.



40







The feedback from the regulatory agencies
on our proposed registrational program in NMIBC has been positive. The Phase 2 Codex Clinical Trial in BCG-unresponsive patients
was reviewed by the FDA. In 2014, the FDA indicated that the single-arm trial might provide evidence of effectiveness to support
a marketing application. In addition, the FDA’s guidance entitled BCG-Unresponsive Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer:
Developing Drugs and Biologics for Treatment Guidance for Industry(2018), states a single-arm clinical trial with complete
response rate and duration of response as the primary endpoint can provide primary evidence of effectiveness to support a marketing
application in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. In September 2018, we updated the endpoint of the trial to reflect this FDA guidance, and
the Codex Clinical Trial therefore embodies this design.



The granting of an SPA by the FDA is also
important to the proposed clinical development program. While standard protocol review and acceptance by the FDA does not necessarily
indicate concurrence by the FDA that the protocol will support a marketing application, an SPA agreement indicates concurrence
by the FDA with the adequacy and acceptability of specific critical elements of overall protocol design for a study intended to
support a future marketing application. In granting the SPA in October 2014, the FDA indicated that the Codex Clinical Trial is
adequately designed to provide necessary data to support a license application submission. The SPA is not an endorsement of protocol
details, does not affect approval, and does not guarantee that our trial results will lead to approval.



European regulators have been supportive
of the study conduct as well. The Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (“AEMPS”) in Spain
(in 2015), Health Canada (in 2016) and Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) in the United Kingdom
(in 2017) all concurred with the conduct of the trials. The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (“EI”) in Germany stated that depending
on robustness of the studies, the combination of studies may form the basis for approval. Additionally, the Agence Nationale de
Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé (“ANSM”) in France (in 2018), stated in
regard to the Phase 2 Codex Clinical Trial that the single-arm trial design can be considered to support an approval in the pursued
indication, and that the same applies to the Phase 3 Leo Clinical Trial.



For both the Codex Clinical Trial and Leo
Clinical Trial, approval will ultimately depend on the final results of the studies concerning the efficacy and safety of our product
candidate.



Our clinical development program addresses
two unmet needs of patients undergoing therapy with BCG for NMIBC. We are studying inodiftagene in the third line, BCG-unresponsive
setting, with our Phase 2 Codex Clinical Trial. We are also studying inodiftagene in second line utilization, with our Phase 3
Leo Clinical Trial. These two studies provide pathways to regulatory approval in two discrete indications. The two trials are summarized
below.







41







The Codex Clinical Trial is a single-arm
Phase 2 study designed in compliance with the FDA Guidance for Industry. It is a single-arm, open label study. The trial is illustrated
below. Patients will be enrolled with BCG-unresponsive disease as defined by the FDA guidance. They will have received prior adequate
BCG therapy, also defined in accordance with FDA specifications. Patients will undergo resection of all papillary tumors by TUR,
and then receive inodiftagene administered intravesically. The agent will be given once weekly for ten weeks, followed by administration
every three weeks for up to two years. The primary endpoint of the trial is complete response in CIS as assessed at 12 weeks and
up to 48 weeks, supported by durability of response. Assessments will be performed by cystoscopy every 12 weeks. The trial is enrolling
approximately 140 patients.







An interim analysis for futility is planned
after the first 35 patients, all of whom will have CIS. At least ten complete responses must be observed to move forward with the
trial.



The trial was initiated in
December 2018. Depending upon patient enrollment, open label data is expected to be available in mid-2019, enrollment of the
full interim analysis cohort is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2019, and the full interim analysis is
expected to be complete approximately in the fourth quarter of 2019.



The Codex Clinical Trial is designed to
gain approval for the indication of patients with high-grade, BCG-unresponsive NMIBC, those with third line disease.



The Leo Clinical Trial is our second pivotal
clinical trial, designed for registration in second line patients. It is an open-label randomized controlled clinical trial. It
is illustrated below. Patients will be enrolled with intermediate-or high-grade NMIBC that is persistent or recurrent following
a single course of BCG. This is a second line patient population. Subjects will be randomly assigned treatment with the standard
regimen of BCG, which is the standard of care for their condition, or a regimen of inodiftagene plus BCG. In the latter treatment,
they will receive a standard administration of BCG. They will concurrently receive inodiftagene administered once weekly for ten
weeks, then every three weeks. The treatment will last up to three years. The primary endpoint will be median time to high-grade
recurrence, and the trial is designed to demonstrate an improvement in median time to high-grade recurrence with the combination
of inodiftagene and BCG as compared with BCG alone. Assessments will be performed by cystoscopy every 12 weeks. The trial is expected
to enroll approximately 495 patients, or 297 patients per arm.



42











Depending upon our ability to raise
additional funding, the trial is expected to be initiated in the fourth quarter of 2019 and to begin enrolling patients in
the first half of 2020.



Pivotal developmental program summary



The Codex Clinical Trial and Leo Clinical
Trial are designed together to meet the FDA’s published guidance regarding development of novel therapies for NMIBC. The
Codex Clinical Trial is directed at the BCG-unresponsive, third line indication. As the FDA has stipulated that a single-arm trial
design is appropriate, and has also provided guidance about the requisite response rate that will support approval, this trial
is an uncontrolled Phase 2 for approval, and will enroll 140 patients. The results from this trial might ultimately support either
full or accelerated approval. We believe that in either instance, our having available an ongoing confirmatory trial will improve
the likelihood of approval. Thus we will also conduct the Phase 3 Leo Clinical Trial. The Leo Clinical Trial will thus serve two
regulatory aims, providing data for a discrete indication in patients whose first course of BCG has failed, and also confirming
the activity of inodiftagene in support of our Phase 2 data from the Codex Clinical Trial.



Our Growth Strategy



The key elements of our growth strategy
are as follows:



| | • | Execute the clinical development program of inodiftagene
through regulatory approval.Our first and highest priority is to execute the clinical development program of inodiftagene.
We believe that there is a linear path to approval for our agent in two related but separate indications. We also believe that
our preliminary clinical data in bladder cancer, in addition to evidence of activity in other solid tumors, support our program
design. The FDA has provided positive input on our pivotal single-arm Codex Clinical Trial, which is under way, and has granted
us an SPA endorsing the randomized Leo Clinical Trial. Regulatory agencies in the European Union and Canada have also reviewed
our pivotal program with positive feedback (inodiftagene has not yet been approved in any marketing territory). Depending upon
patient enrollment, we expect to gain interim data from the Codex Clinical Trial in the second half of 2019, and depending upon
our ability to raise additional funding, we expect to start enrolling patients for the Leo Clinical Trial in the first half of
2020.

43







| | • | Develop the capability to commercialize inodiftagene in the United States.We believe that our competitive position
in the NMIBC fields is strong as a result of our robust clinical data and our addressing the unmet need of second line patients
with the unique randomized and SPA-endorsed Leo Clinical Trial. Based on market data, including third-party research that we commissioned,
we believe the potential market for inodiftagene in the United States, the European Union and Japan in both third- and second-line
patients exceeds $1.5 billion. As the trials near completion, we plan to recruit a commercial team to exploit this advantage, our
goal being to commercialize inodiftagene in the United States. At this time, we do not have commercial capability. However, we
believe that realizing the full commercial potential of inodiftagene in both third- and second-line patients will require us to
develop such a capacity. We will likely concentrate our commercial efforts in the United States, and intend to begin laying the
foundation for U.S. commercialization approximately two years before approval and launch. Concomitantly, we will seek non-U.S.
commercial partners. The leadership team has experience and success in taking a company through the transition from a research
focus to commercial capability, and we believe that the team can translate this to our Company.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Develop strategic partnerships around inodiftagene development and commercialization.The commercial potential
of inodiftagene renders it an attractive asset for a strategic partnership. We intend to pursue partnership opportunities primarily
for non-U.S. commercialization. We intend to consider regional partnerships as well, especially in Japan and China. Our leadership
team has experience in gaining regulatory approval in Japan, and in developing business relationships in Japan, elsewhere in Asia
and worldwide.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Expand the potential indications of inodiftagene.We intend to expand the clinical development program of inodiftagene
to explore additional indications in bladder cancer, alone and in combination with BCG and additional novel agents. The most important
of these is the use of inodiftagene in the treatment of newly diagnosed NMIBC patients, or first line patients. We intend to extend
success in our Leo Clinical Trial in the second-line patient population to a similar trial design in newly diagnosed patients.
Additional approaches are likely to include approaches to immunotherapy, especially using checkpoint inhibitors, as inodiftagene
introduces a novel foreign diphtheria antigen, against which we are all immunized, into cancer cells. We also intend to explore
other solid tumor indications, including ovarian cancer with malignant ascites, in which inodiftagene has already been demonstrated
to be capable of inducing complete response.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Expand the pipeline of oncology therapeutic candidates.We intend to designate new product candidates in our
research and development laboratories. We have engineered second-generation versions of inodiftagene, and have demonstrated activity
of these molecules in several experimental settings. The second generation molecules have strong intellectual property protection.
In addition, we will seek to identify appropriate candidates for in-licensing. The present clinical development team has experience
with a variety of approaches to oncology therapy, including having successfully developed targeted therapies and immune-oncology
treatments.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Grow our company into a fully capable biopharmaceutical company.Our vision is to build on the initial success
of inodiftagene and to expand our capabilities to encompass all facets of oncology drug development, approval, and commercialization.
Our focus will remain developing novel genetic and targeted therapies to lessen the burden of disease affecting those stricken
with cancer.

Manufacturing



We do not own or operate manufacturing facilities
for the production of our product candidate, nor do we have plans to develop our own manufacturing operations in the foreseeable
future. We rely on third-party contract manufacturers for all of our required raw materials and finished products for our preclinical
research and clinical trials. We do not have any current contractual relationships for the manufacture of commercial supply of
our product candidate. However, our current contract manufacturing partners have the ability to manufacture commercial quantities
of our product candidate, and have expressed their interest in doing so.



We intend to enter into agreements with
third-party contract manufacturers for the commercial production of inodiftagene.



44







Development and commercial quantities of
any products that we develop need to be manufactured in facilities utilizing processes that comply with the requirements of the
FDA and the regulatory agencies of other jurisdictions in which we are seeking approval. We currently employ internal resources
to manage our manufacturing contractors. The manufacturers with whom we have contracted have advised us that they are compliant
with cGMP. We and our contract manufacturers are subject to extensive governmental regulation, and must ensure that all of the
processes, methods and equipment are compliant with cGMP for drugs on an ongoing basis, in accordance with the requirements relevant
for the clinical development phase.



Intellectual Property



Our intellectual property and proprietary
technology are crucial to the development, manufacture, and sale of our therapeutic products. We seek to protect our intellectual
property, core technologies and other know-how through a combination of patents, trade secrets, non-disclosure and confidentiality
agreements, licenses, assignments of invention and other contractual arrangements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors,
contractors and commercial partners. Additionally, we rely on our research and development program, clinical trials and know-how
to advance our products.



Patents



Our patent portfolio includes a total of
57 granted patents (including allowed patents) in five patent families (including divisional and continuing application patents),
as well as 20 pending national phase applications. We also have 22 patents that have expired.



Patents on the original active formulation
of our lead product candidate, inodiftagene, expired during 2017 and 2018. New patent applications have been filed for new formulations
that may comprise the active ingredient in inodiftagene, but may alternatively comprise other active materials. A formulation pursued
in a priority application filed in 2015, which was followed by an international application that claims priority therefrom under
the Patent Cooperation Treaty (the “PCT”) is based on a new complex, among others, of inodiftagene. This new complex
was developed to improve the previous generation of inodiftagene that we had been using. The previous generation drug was administrated
after mixing it with PEI at the patient’s bedside. The procedure demanded strict training and was very sensitive stability-wise.
Our new ready to use complex of inodiftagene will make the administration process less complex and improve the stability of the
drug. In 2017, the application entered the national phase. Approval of this patent in the selected jurisdictions would ensure product
exclusivity until 2036.



Pursuant to a license agreement with Yissum,
described below, we have an exclusive, worldwide license for the development, use, manufacture and commercialization of products
arising out of patents owned by, and patent applications filed by, Yissum in connection with the H19 gene. All of our patents and
patent applications were licensed to us from Yissum and are subject to the Yissum license agreement.



Our patent portfolio includes the following:



Product under development



Inodiftagene (new formulation complex) —
The patents covering the original inodiftagene formulation have expired. Prior to their expiration, we filed a priority application
in 2015, which was followed by an international application under the PCT disclosing a new complex, among others, for inodiftagene.
The new complex was developed to improve the original formulation of inodiftagene, which was administered after mixing it with
PEI at the patient’s bedside, in order to prevent destabilization. This procedure demanded strict personnel training. The
new formulation is distributed ready to use, which simplifies the administration process and improves the stability of the drug.
In 2017, the application entered the national phase. It was filed in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel,
Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, United States, Vietnam and the European
Patent Office (“EPO”). Following EPO approval, the patent would be granted in each individual EU member state to which
we would apply, which would ensure product exclusivity until 2036.

of protection.



While our policy is to obtain patents by
application, license or otherwise, to maintain trade secrets and to seek to operate without infringing on the intellectual property
rights of third parties, technologies related to our business have been rapidly developing in recent years. Additionally, patent
applications that we may file or license from third parties may not result in the issuance of patents, and our current or future
issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Therefore, we cannot predict the extent of claims that may be allowed
or enforced against our patents, nor be certain of the priority of inventions covered by pending third-party patent applications.
If third parties prepare and file patent applications that also claim technology or therapeutics to which we have rights, we may
have to engage in proceedings to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial costs to us, even if the eventual
outcome is favorable. Moreover, because of the extensive time required for clinical development and regulatory review of products
we may develop, it is possible that the patent or patents on which we rely to protect such products could expire or be close to
expiration by the commencement of commercialization, thereby reducing the value of such patent. Loss or invalidation of certain
of our patents, or a finding of unenforceability or limited scope of certain of our intellectual property, could have a material
adverse effect on us. See “Item 3.—Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
and Potential Litigation.”



In addition to patents, we rely on trade
secrets and know-how to develop and maintain our competitive position. Trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect.
We seek to protect our proprietary processes, in part, by confidentiality agreements and invention assignment agreements with our
employees, consultants, scientific advisors, contractors and commercial partners. These agreements are designed to protect our
proprietary information. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data, trade secrets and know-how by
maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information technology systems. While
we have confidence in these individuals, organizations and systems, such agreements or security measures may be breached, and we
may not have adequate remedies for any breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered
by competitors or others.



Exclusive license agreement with Yissum



Yissum has granted us an exclusive, worldwide
license for the development, use, manufacture and commercialization of products arising out of patents owned by, and patent applications
filed by, Yissum in connection with the H19 and IGF2-P4 genes. Our latest patent applications were filed in 2016, and their approval
would ensure product exclusivity for all our programs will range from 2026 to 2036.



46







On November 14, 2005, we entered into a
license agreement with Yissum, which was subsequently amended several times, most recently in November 2013. Yissum has granted
us an exclusive, worldwide license for the development, use, manufacture and commercialization of products arising out of patents
owned by, and patent applications filed by, Yissum in connection with the H19 and IGF2-P4 genes. Yissum retains right, title and
interest in the products, technologies or other inventions arising out of our research and development of these patents and patent
applications, except for intellectual property developed with funding from the IIA which will be owned by us and transferred to
Yissum only upon our dissolution or upon a decision by the IIA that it no longer requires us to own the intellectual property developed
with its funding. We have the right to grant sub-licenses to third parties in accordance with the terms set forth in the Yissum
license agreement.



We have agreed to pay Yissum 4% of all “net
sales” as royalties and 10% of the income that we receive from granting sub-licenses to third parties. We will pay half of
these royalties on sales in countries in which no patent has been granted and a third party is selling identical products.



We are required to indemnify Yissum, the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, their employees, directors, officers, representatives and any other persons acting on their behalf
under the license against any liability, including without limitation product liability, damages, losses or expenses, including
reasonable legal fees and litigation expenses arising out of our actions or omissions in performing the Yissum license, including
the use, development and manufacturing of patents arising out of it and the granting of sub-licenses thereunder, provided that
any such loss was not caused by the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of the indemnitees.



We have the right to terminate the Yissum
license upon three months’ prior written notice provided that we have paid all amounts owing to Yissum under the license.
Yissum has the right to terminate the license in the event that we become bankrupt, liquidated or insolvent, or if our business
is placed in the hands of a receiver, liquidator, or trustee. In addition, Yissum has the right to terminate the license for any
material breach of it by us in the event that we fail to remedy such material breach within ninety days of Yissum’s notice
of our material breach, provided that the material breach is curable within 90 days. In the event that the material breach cannot
be remedied within ninety days, Yissum may not terminate the license if we take reasonable commercial action to cure such breach
as promptly as practicable. The termination of the license also entails termination of all licenses granted thereunder. Any termination
of the license shall not terminate any of our obligations, including our obligation to pay royalties that matured prior to the
effective date of termination.



Marketing, Sales and Distribution



Given our stage of development, we do not
have any internal sales, marketing or distribution infrastructure or capabilities. In the event we receive regulatory approval
for our product candidate, we intend, where appropriate, to pursue commercialization relationships, including strategic alliances
and licensing, with pharmaceutical companies and other strategic partners, which are equipped to market and/or sell our product
candidate, if any, through their well-developed sales, marketing and distribution organizations in order to gain access to global
markets. In addition, we may out-license some or all of our worldwide patent rights to more than one party to achieve the fullest
development, marketing and distribution of any products we develop. Over the longer term, we may consider ultimately building an
internal marketing, sales and commercial infrastructure.



Competition



The pharmaceutical industry is characterized
by rapidly evolving biotechnology and intense competition, which we expect will continue. Many companies are engaged in research
and development of products that are similar to ours. In the event that one or more of our competitor’s programs are successful,
the market for some of our drug products could be reduced or eliminated. Any product for which we obtain FDA approval must also
compete for market acceptance and market share.



We are aware of several products in the
development pipeline targeted for NMIBC patients who have failed BCG treatment. Companies including Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.,
Sesen Bio Inc., Telesta Therapeutics Inc., Heat Biologics, Inc., Viralytics Limited, AADi, LLC, UroGen Pharma Ltd., Halozyme Therapeutics,
Inc., Astellas Pharma Inc., Cold Genesys, Inc., Altor BioScience Corporation, FKD Therapies Oy, Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., Spectrum
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Taris Biomedical LLC and Handok Inc. are conducting or have recently conducted clinical trials for products
for the treatment of NMIBC. In addition, we are aware of several pharmaceutical companies developing drugs for muscle-invasive
bladder cancer. We do not know whether these potential competitors are developing, or plan to develop, treatments or other indications
that we are pursuing.



47







In addition, we face competition from existing
standards of treatment for bladder cancer. If we are not able to demonstrate that our products are at least as safe and effective
as such courses of treatment, medical professionals may not adopt our products to replace or supplement the existing standard of
care.



The biopharmaceutical industry is intensely
competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large and experienced
companies that enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, such as greater financial, research and development, manufacturing,
personnel and marketing resources, greater brand recognition, and more experience and expertise in obtaining marketing approvals
from the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities. These companies may develop new drugs to treat the indications that we target,
or seek to have existing drugs approved for use for the treatment of the indications that we target.



These potential competitors may therefore
introduce competing products without our prior knowledge and without our ability to take preemptive measures in anticipation of
their commercial launch. Competition may increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies
and greater availability of capital for investment in this industry. Our competitors may succeed in developing, acquiring or licensing
on an exclusive basis products that are more effective, easier to administer or less costly than our products.



Government Regulation



As a clinical-stage company, we are subject
to extensive regulation by the various national health regulatory authorities, such as the FDA, Health Canada and other national,
state and provincial regulatory agencies.



U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The research, development, and marketing authorization of drugs and other pharmaceutical products in the United States is subject
to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FFDCA”) which empowers the FDA to require extensive non-clinical
and clinical toxicity testing before a new drug or biologic is deemed safe and effective and receives marketing authorization.
Biologic products, including cellular products, gene therapy products, and vaccines, are generally licensed under section 351 of
the U.S. Public Health Service Act (the “PHSA”). Prior to commercialization, section 351 of the PHSA requires biologic
manufacturers to submit a biologic license application to the FDA for review and approval. Under section 351 of the PHSA, all FFDCA
provisions applicable to drug products also apply to biologic products, with the exception of the requirement to submit a new drug
application (“NDA”). Following initial laboratory and animal testing that show that investigational use in humans is
reasonably safe, biological products (like other drugs), can be studied in clinical trials in humans under an IND in accordance
with the regulations at 21 CFR 312. If the data generated by the studies demonstrate that the product is safe and effective for
its intended use, the data are submitted as part of the BLA.



As indicated above, the FDA regulates gene
therapy products as biologics and assigns primary review authority for such products to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research (“CBER”). The FDA defines human gene therapy products as all products that mediate their effects by transcription
or translation of transferred genetic material, or by specifically altering host (human) genetic sequences. Based on this definition,
we believe our product candidate, inodiftagene, is a gene therapy product and will require us to obtain a biologic license through
the BLA process prior to commercialization.



In order to satisfy FDA data requirements,
an extensive battery of preclinical experiments to assess the safety of such new drugs are conducted, followed by two or three
phases of clinical trials before they are considered for widespread human use. We seek to complete our pivotal clinical trials
program successfully and to be in a position to manufacture and market our prospective pharmaceutical products. The marketing authorization
of our products would be conditional upon obtaining the approval of health authorities in each country in which they would be marketed,
including, but not limited to, the FDA and the EMA. FDA regulations govern the following activities that we may perform, or that
have been performed on our behalf, to ensure that drugs that we develop are safe and effective for their intended uses:



48







| | • | pre-clinical (animal) testing including toxicology studies;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------



| | • | submission of an IND;
| | - | ---------------------



| | • | human testing in clinical trials, Phases 1, 2 and 3;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------



| | • | recordkeeping and retention;
| | - | ----------------------------



| | • | pre-marketing review through submission of a BLA;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------



| | • | drug manufacturing, testing and labeling, which must comply with cGMP regulations;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | drug marketing, sales and distribution; and
| | - | -------------------------------------------



| | • | post-marketing study commitments (Phase 4), post-marketing pharmacovigilance surveillance, complaint handling, reporting of
deaths or serious injuries, product sample retention, manufacturing deviation reporting and repair or recall of drugs.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Failure to comply with applicable regulatory
requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions:



| | • | warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | disqualification of clinical investigator and/or sponsor from current and future studies;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | clinical hold on clinical trials;
| | - | ---------------------------------



| | • | operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | refusal to approve a BLA;
| | - | -------------------------



| | • | post-marketing withdrawal of approval; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------



| | • | criminal prosecution.
| | - | ---------------------



The FDA’s pre-clinical and IND
requirements.The first step to obtaining FDA approval of a new drug involves development, purification and pre-clinical testing
of a pharmaceutically active agent in laboratory animals. Once appropriate pre-clinical data has been generated to demonstrate
that the drug is reasonably safe for initial testing in humans, an IND can be prepared and submitted to the FDA for review. In
the IND review process, FDA physicians and scientists evaluate the proposed clinical trial protocol, chemistry and manufacturing
controls, pharmacologic mechanisms of action of the drug and toxicological effects of the drug in animals and in vitro.
Within 30 days of the IND submission, the drug review division of the FDA may contact the filer regarding potential concerns and,
if necessary, implement a clinical hold until certain issues are resolved satisfactorily. If the FDA does not take any action,
the filer may proceed with clinical trials on the 31st day.



Clinical trials.Clinical trials
represent the pre-market testing ground for unapproved drugs, generally taking several years to complete. Before testing can begin,
an IRB must have been reviewed and approved for the use of human subjects in the clinical trial. During clinical trials, an investigational
compound is administered to humans and evaluated for its safety and effectiveness in treating, preventing or diagnosing a specific
disease or condition. The clinical trials generally consist of Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 testing. During clinical trials, the
FDA and IRB closely monitor the studies and may suspend or terminate trials at any time for a number of reasons, such as finding
that patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. The results of clinical trials are critical factors in the approval
or disapproval of a new drug.



49







Special Protocol Assessment.The
SPA process is designed to facilitate the FDA’s review and approval of drugs by allowing the FDA to evaluate the proposed
design and size of Phase 3 clinical trials that are intended to form the primary basis for determining a drug product’s efficacy.
Upon specific request by a clinical trial sponsor, the FDA will evaluate the protocol and respond to a sponsor’s questions
regarding, among other things, primary efficacy endpoints, trial design and data analysis plans, within 45 days of receipt of the
request.



The FDA ultimately assesses whether the
protocol design and planned analysis of the trial are acceptable to support regulatory approval of the drug with respect to effectiveness
of the indication studied. All agreements and disagreements between the FDA and the sponsor regarding an SPA must be clearly documented
in an SPA letter or the minutes of a meeting between the sponsor and the FDA. Even if the FDA agrees to the design, execution and
analyses proposed in protocols reviewed under the SPA process, the FDA may revoke or alter its agreement under the following circumstances:



| | • | public health concerns emerge that were unrecognized at the time of the protocol assessment, or the director of the review
division determines that a substantial scientific issue essential to determining safety or efficacy has been identified after testing
has begun;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | a sponsor fails to follow a protocol that was agreed upon with the FDA; or
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the relevant data, assumptions or information provided by the sponsor in a request for SPA change, are found to be false statements
or misstatements, or are found to omit relevant facts.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A documented SPA may be modified, and such
modification will be deemed binding on the FDA review division, except under the circumstances described above, if FDA and the
sponsor agree in writing to modify the protocol and such modification is intended to improve the study. We have obtained an SPA
with the FDA for our Phase 3 trial of inodiftagene in patients who failed BCG but are eligible for further BCG therapy. Agreement
by the FDA to an SPA does not guarantee that the results of a study conducted in accordance with the agreement will be successful.



BLA review.A BLA, requesting approval
to market the drug for one or more indications, may be submitted to the FDA once sufficient data has been gathered through pre-clinical
and clinical testing. A BLA includes all animal and human testing data and analyses of the data, as well as information about how
the drug behaves in the human body and how it is manufactured. The BLA is reviewed by an interdisciplinary team of FDA physicians,
chemists, statisticians, microbiologists, pharmacologists and other experts, who evaluate whether the studies submitted show that
the drug is safe and effective for its proposed use. The FDA reviewers may request further information, consult with outside experts
or disagree with the filer’s findings or interpretation of the data. Each reviewer prepares a written evaluation, and the
reviewing team discusses the evaluations. The FDA may assemble an external Oncology Drug Advisory Committee (“ODAC”)
to review and provide an opinion on whether the product under review has an acceptable safety and efficacy profile. ODAC’s
opinions are not binding on the FDA, but often have significant influence on the final FDA decision. Accelerated approval may be
given to some new drugs for serious and life-threatening illnesses that lack satisfactory treatments. At the end of its review,
the FDA may approve the new drug to be marketed or provide a “complete response” letter, in which case the filer may
meet with FDA officials to discuss and correct deficiencies.



Expedited review and approval.We
have requested and received Fast Track Designation for the development of inodiftagene to treat bladder cancer. NDAs and BLAs receive
either standard or priority review. A drug representing a significant improvement in the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of
a disease may receive priority review. The FDA has various specific programs, including Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, Accelerated
Approval and Priority Review, each of which is intended to expedite the process for reviewing drugs, and in certain cases involving
Accelerated Review, permit approval of a drug on the basis of a surrogate endpoint. Even if a drug qualifies for one or more of
these programs, the FDA may later decide that the drug no longer meets the conditions for qualification or that the time period
for FDA review or approval will be shortened.



Fast Track designation facilitates the development
and expedites the review of drugs to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions and fill unmet medical needs. Although
this designation does not affect the standards for approval, the FDA will attempt to facilitate early and frequent meetings with
a sponsor of a Fast Track designated drug.



50







If a product receives regulatory approval,
the approval may be significantly limited to specific diseases, subpopulations, and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise
be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDA may require us to conduct Phase 4 testing,
which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and/or effectiveness after BLA approval and may
require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized.



Pervasive and continuing regulation in
the United States.After a drug is approved for marketing and enters the marketplace, numerous regulatory requirements continue
to apply. These include, but are not limited to:



| | • | The FDA’s cGMP regulations require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent requirements
for the methods, facilities and controls used in manufacturing, processing, testing and packing of a drug product;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Labeling regulations and the FDA prohibitions against the promotion of drug for unapproved uses (known as off-label uses),
as well as requirements to provide adequate information on both risks and benefits during promotion of the drug;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Approval of product modifications or use of the drug for an indication other than approved in the BLA;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Adverse drug experience regulations, which require companies to report information on rare, latent or long-term drug effects
not identified during pre-market testing;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Post-market testing and surveillance requirements, including Phase 4 trials, when necessary, to protect the public health or
to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the drug; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | The FDA’s recall authority, whereby it can ask, or under certain conditions order, drug manufacturers to recall from
the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



After a drug receives approval, any modification
in conditions of use, active ingredient(s), route of administration, dosage form, strength or bioavailability, will require a new
clearance or approval, for which it may be possible to submit a supplemental BLA, referring to pre-clinical and certain clinical
studies presented in the drug’s original BLA, accompanied by additional clinical data necessary to demonstrate the safety
and effectiveness of the product with the proposed changes. Additional clinical studies may be required for proposed changes.



Fraud and abuse laws in the United States.A variety of U.S. federal and state laws apply to the sale, marketing and promotion of drugs that are paid for, directly or
indirectly, by U.S. federal or state healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The restrictions imposed by these laws
are in addition to those imposed by the FDA, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and corresponding state agencies. Some of these
laws significantly restrict or prohibit certain types of sales, marketing and promotional activities by drug manufacturers. Violation
of these laws may result in significant criminal, civil and administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines
and penalties and exclusion or debarment from United States federal and state healthcare and other programs. Many private health
insurance companies also prohibit payment to entities that have been sanctioned, excluded or debarred by U.S. federal agencies.



Anti-kickback statutes in the United
States.The U.S. federal anti-kickback statute prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting,
offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual,
or the furnishing, arranging for or recommending of a good or service, for which payment may be made in whole or in part under
a United States federal healthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The definition of “remuneration”
has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment,
payments of cash and waivers of payments. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that,
if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals or otherwise generate business involving goods
or services reimbursed in whole or in part under federal healthcare programs, the statute has been violated. Penalties for violations
include criminal penalties and civil sanctions such as fines, imprisonment and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other
U.S. federal healthcare programs. In addition, some kickback allegations have been claimed to violate the U.S. False Claims Act
(as discussed below).



51







The federal anti-kickback statute is broad
and prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. Recognizing that
the statute is broad and may technically prohibit many innocuous or beneficial arrangements, the Office of Inspector General of
the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”) has issued a series of regulations, known as “safe harbors.”
These safe harbors set forth provisions which, if met in form and substance, will assure healthcare providers and other parties
that they will not be prosecuted under the federal anti-kickback statute. The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely
within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct
and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy an applicable safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement
authorities such as the OIG or the United States Department of Justice.



Many states have adopted laws similar to
the U.S. federal anti-kickback statute. Some of these state prohibitions are broader than the U.S. federal statute, and apply to
the referral of patients and recommendations for healthcare items or services reimbursed by any source, not only the Medicare and
Medicaid programs. Government officials have focused certain enforcement efforts on marketing of healthcare items and services,
among other activities, and have brought cases against individuals or entities with sales personnel who allegedly offered unlawful
inducements to potential or existing physician customers in an attempt to procure their business.



U.S. False Claims Act.The U.S. False
Claims Act prohibits any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment
by a federal healthcare program or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement or record in order to have a false
claim paid or avoiding, decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federal government. The federal government’s
interpretation of the scope of the law has in recent years grown increasingly broad. Most states also have statutes or regulations
similar to the U.S. False Claims Act, which apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or,
in several states, apply regardless of the payor. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include civil monetary penalties,
exclusion of a manufacturer’s products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal fines and imprisonment. Several
drug manufacturers have been prosecuted under the false claims laws for allegedly providing free drugs to physician customers with
the expectation that the physician customers would bill federal programs for the product. In addition, several recent cases against
drug manufacturers have alleged that the manufacturers improperly promoted their products for “off-label” use, outside
of the scope of the FDA-approved labeling.



U.S. Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).HIPAA created a new federal healthcare fraud statute that prohibits knowingly and willfully
executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. A violation of this statute is a felony
and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from government-sponsored programs. Among other things, HIPAA also imposes new
criminal penalties for knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false,
fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services, along
with theft or embezzlement in connection with a healthcare benefits program and willful obstruction of a criminal investigation
involving a federal healthcare offense.



U.S. Affordable Care Act Section 6002
(the Sunshine Act).Enacted in 2010 under the Affordable Care Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-148 (the “ACA”),
the Sunshine Act is a national disclosure program that promotes transparency by publishing data on the financial relationships
between the healthcare industry (applicable manufacturers) and healthcare providers (physicians and teaching hospitals) on a publicly
accessible website. The Sunshine Act requires that certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologicals, or medical supplies report
payments or other transfers of value made to physicians and teaching hospitals as well as certain ownership or investment interests
held by physicians or their immediate family members to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). A violation of
this act may result in fines and/or civil liabilities. Any payment or transfer of value that is currently prohibited under the
anti-kickback statute, the U.S. False Claims Act, or other health care fraud and abuse laws may still be subject to fines, sanctions,
or lawsuit.



52







Non-U.S. regulation.Marketing authorization
requests outside of the United States are subject to regulatory approval of the respective authorities in the country in which
we would like to market. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement
vary widely from country to country. No action can be taken to market any product in a country until an appropriate application
has been approved by the regulatory authorities in that country. The current approval process varies from country to country, and
the time spent in gaining approval varies from that required for FDA approval. In certain countries, the sales price of a product
must also be approved prior to its marketing application approval. The pricing review period often begins after market approval
is granted. Even if a product is approved by a regulatory authority, satisfactory prices might not be approved for such product.
In Europe, authorization can be obtained through one of the following pathways: (i) the “centralized” procedure, described
in greater detail below, with applications made directly to the EMA leading to the grant of a European marketing authorization
by the European Commission, (ii) the “decentralized procedure,” whereby companies may apply for simultaneous authorization
in more than one EU country of medicinal products that have not yet been authorized in any EU country, or do not fall within the
mandatory scope of the centralized procedure, (iii) the “mutual recognition” procedure, in which applications are made
to one or more member states, leading to national marketing authorizations mutually recognized by other member states, or (iv)
a “national authorization” application made to a single EU member state. Based on the nature of our products, the marketing
authorization will be through the centralized procedure.



The EMA is responsible for the centralized
procedure, which results in a single marketing authorization that is valid across the European Union. Applications through the
centralized procedure are submitted directly to the EMA. The procedure consists of three milestones:



| | (i) | Evaluation by a scientific committee for up to seven months, at the end of which the committee adopts an opinion on whether
the drug should be approved for marketing. During this period, the EMA may send questions to the company, at which time the aforementioned
review clock stops until answers are provided.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Formal decision by the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, which is transmitted to the European Commission,
which issues a formal decision on the authorization of the product.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Marketing authorization: Once a European Community marketing authorization has been granted, the marketing-authorization holder
can begin to make the medicine available to patients and healthcare professionals in all EU countries.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Even after a company receives marketing
authorization, EU law regulates the distribution, classification for supply, labeling and packaging, and advertising of medicinal
products for human use. The European Union also regulates the manufacture of medicinal products, requiring cGMP, set forth in the
EU Guidelines to Good Manufacturing Practice — Medicinal Products for Human and Veterinary Use.



EU pharmacovigilance directives and regulations
require a company to establish post-market surveillance systems that include individual adverse reaction case reports, periodic
safety update reports, and company-sponsored post-authorization safety studies. If a medicinal product’s overall risk and
benefit profile is found to have changed significantly for any reason, it may be required to be varied, withdrawn, or have its
use suspended.



Regulations in Israel.Our clinical
operations in Israel also are subject to approval by Israel’s Ministry of Health, as well as the Helsinki Committee of each
medical institution in which a clinical study is conducted. All phases of clinical studies conducted in Israel must be conducted
in accordance with the Public Health Regulations (Medical Studies Involving Human Subjects, 1980), including amendments and addenda
thereto, the Guidelines for Clinical Trials in Human Subjects issued by the Israel Ministry of Health (the “Guidelines”)
and the International Conference for Harmonized Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice. The regulations and the Guidelines
stipulate that a medical study on humans will only be approved after the Helsinki Committee (“IRB”) at the hospital
intending to perform the study has approved the medical study and notified the relevant hospital director in writing. In addition,
certain clinical studies require the approval of the Ministry of Health. The Helsinki Committee will not approve the performance
of the medical study unless it is satisfied that it has advantages to the study participants and society at large that justify
the risk and inconvenience for the participants and that the medical and scientific information justifies the performance of the
requested medical study. The relevant hospital director, and the Ministry of Health, if applicable, also must be satisfied that
the study is not contrary to the Helsinki Declaration or to other regulations. The Ministry of Health also licenses and regulates
the marketing of pharmaceuticals in Israel, requiring the relevant pharmaceutical to meet internationally recognized cGMP standards.
A mutual recognition agreement, known as the Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products Agreement (the “ACAA”)
covering inter aliamedicinal products for human use, has been signed and became effective in 2013 between Israel and the
European Community.



53







Under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement
of Industrial Research and Development, 1984 and related regulations (the “Research Law”) recipients of grants from
the IIA (“Recipient Companies”) are subject to certain obligations under the Research Law. The pertinent obligations
currently are as follows: (i) the Recipient Company, is obligated to pay the IIA royalties from the revenues generated from the
sale of products (and related services) or services developed (in all or in part) according to, or as a result of, a research and
development program funded by the IIA (at rates which are determined under the Research Law, up to the aggregate amount of the
total grants received by the IIA, plus annual interest (as determined in the Research Law)); (ii) products developed as a result
of IIA-funded research and development must, as a general matter, be manufactured in Israel. The Recipient Company is prohibited
from manufacturing products developed using these IIA grants outside of Israel without receiving the prior approval of the IIA
(except for the transfer of less than 10% of the manufacturing capacity in the aggregate). If the Recipient Company receives approval
to manufacture the products developed with government grants outside of Israel, it may be required to pay an increased total amount
of royalties to the IIA, up to 300% of the grant amounts plus interest, depending on the manufacturing volume that is performed
outside of Israel, as well as at a possibly increased royalty rate. A Recipient Company also has the option of declaring in its
IIA grant application its intention to exercise a portion of the manufacturing capacity abroad, thus avoiding the need to obtain
additional approval for manufacture abroad and increased royalty amounts. Even where approval has been granted to manufacture outside
Israel within the framework of approval of a research and development plan and in the case of the transfer of manufacturing at
a rate that does not require the approval of the research committee (i.e., at a rate of up to 10%), a company is obligated to pay
increased royalties to the State of Israel, at the rates set forth in the Research Law, with regard to the transfer of manufacturing
outside of Israel; (iii) under the Research Law, the Recipient Company is prohibited from transferring IIA-financed technologies
and related intellectual property rights outside of Israel except under limited circumstances, and only with the approval of the
Research Committee of the IIA and subject to certain payment to the IIA calculated according to formulae provided under the Research
Law (as further detailed below); and (iv) any change of control in the Recipient Company and any change of ownership of the Recipient
Company’s ordinary shares that would make a non-Israeli citizen or resident an “interested party,” as defined
in the Research Law, requires a prior written notice to the IIA.



The restrictions under the Research Law
will continue to apply even after we repay the full amount of royalties payable pursuant to the grants.



We may not receive the required approvals
for any proposed transfer. If we do receive the approvals, we may be required to pay the IIA a portion of the consideration that
we receive upon any sale of such technology to a non-Israeli entity. The scope of the support received, the royalties that we have
already paid to the IIA, the amount of time that has elapsed between the date on which the know-how was transferred and the date
on which the IIA grants were received and the sale price and the form of transaction will be taken into account in order to calculate
the amount of the payment to the IIA (as further detailed below). No assurances can be made that approval of any such transfer,
if requested, will be granted.



In general, the Research Committee may approve
transfer of know-how created in whole or in part in connection with IIA-funded projects to third parties outside of Israel, in
limited circumstances as follows:



| | • | The IIA approval to transfer know-how created, in whole or in part, in connection with an IIA-funded project to a third party
outside Israel where the transferring company remains an operating Israeli entity is subject to payment of a redemption fee to
the IIA calculated according to a formula provided under the Research Law that is based, in general, on the ratio between the aggregate
IIA grants to the company’s aggregate investments in the project that was funded by these IIA grants, multiplied by the transaction
consideration. In addition, if the purchaser of the know-how gives the selling Israeli company the right to exploit the know-how
by way of an exclusive, irrevocable and unlimited license, the Research Committee may approve such transfer in special cases without
requiring a redemption fee payment.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



54







| | • | The transfer of such know-how to a party outside Israel, where the transferring company ceases to exist as an Israeli entity,
is subject to a redemption fee formula that is based, in general, on the ratio between aggregate IIA grants received by the company
and the company’s aggregate research and development expenses, multiplied by the transaction consideration.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | The redemption fee paid to the IIA under the aforementioned formulae is capped and distinguishes between two scenarios: (i)
in the event that the company sells its IIA-funded know-how, in whole or in part, or is sold as part of a merger and acquisition
transaction, and subsequently ceases to conduct business in Israel, the maximum redemption fee under the aforementioned formulae
shall be no more than six times the amount received (plus annual interest) for the applicable know-how being transferred, or the
entire amount received, as applicable; and (ii) in the event that following the asset sale of IIA-funded know-how or merger and
acquisition transfer transaction, the company continues to conduct its R&D activity in Israel (for at least three years following
such transfer with at least 75% of the number of R&D employees employed for the six months prior to the know-how transfer),
then the company is eligible for a reduced cap of the redemption fee of no more than three times the amounts received (plus annual
interest) for the know-how being transferred, or the entire amount received, as applicable.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | In the event of an exchange of know-how, such that know-how is transferred outside of Israel in consideration for other know-how
transferred to the company in Israel in a manner in which the IIA is convinced that the Israeli economy realizes a greater, overall
benefit from the exchange of know-how.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The State of Israel does not own intellectual
property rights in technology developed with IIA funding and there is no restriction on the export of products manufactured using
technology developed with IIA funding. The technology is, however, subject to transfer of technology and manufacturing rights restrictions
as described above. IIA approval is not required for the export of any products resulting from the research or development. In
addition, the IIA is in the process of exploring the possibility of promulgating regulations, including the consideration due to
the State of Israel for the granting of licenses to use know-how developed as a result of research financed by the IIA. Such regulations
may have an effect on us in respect of the amount of our payments to the IIA for the grant of sub-licenses to third parties. We
are currently unable to assess the effect, if any, of the promulgation of such regulations on us.



A recent amendment to the Research Law made
in August 2015 (“Amendment Seven”) has made it unclear whether the transfer of manufacturing rights and transfer of
know-how will continue to be subject to the same limitations and obligations as described above after 2016. Amendment Seven came
into effect on January 1, 2016. There are certain savings provisions under Amendment Seven, which provide that until one year after
the members of the new council are appointed (which is created by virtue of Amendment Seven), the Research Law as it was in effect
before the effective date of Amendment Seven and certain regulations, including inter alia, the regulations relating to royalty
rates and transfer of know-how overseas will remain in effect. It is not possible to assess at this time the effect of Amendment
Seven until implementing regulations will be promulgated.



Patent term restoration and extension.A patent claiming a new drug product may be eligible for a limited patent term extension under the Drug Price Competition and
Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”) which permits a patent restoration of up to five years
for patent term lost during product development and FDA regulatory review. The restoration period granted is typically one-half
the time between the effective date of an IND and the submission date of a BLA, plus the time between the submission date of a
BLA and the ultimate approval date. Patent term restoration cannot be used to extend the remaining term of a patent past a total
of 14 years from the product’s approval date. Only one patent applicable to an approved drug product is eligible for the
extension, and the application for the extension must be submitted prior to the expiration of the patent in question. A patent
that covers multiple drugs for which approval is sought can only be extended in connection with one of the approvals. The PTO reviews
and approves the application for any patent term extension or restoration in consultation with the FDA.

Biosimilar products.As part of the
ACA, under the subtitle of Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (“BPCI”) a statutory pathway has
been created for licensure, or approval, of biological products that are biosimilar to, and possibly interchangeable with, earlier
biological products licensed under the Public Health Service Act. Also, under the BPCI, innovator manufacturers of original reference
biological products are granted 12 years of exclusive use before biosimilars can be approved for marketing in the United States.
The objectives of the BPCI are conceptually similar to those of the Hatch-Waxman Act, which established abbreviated pathways for
the approval of drug products. The implementation of an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products is under the direction
of the FDA and is currently subject to ongoing development. The FDA has published draft and final guidance documents on biosimilar
product development. A biosimilar is defined in the BPCI and these documents as a biological product that is highly similar to
an already approved biological product, notwithstanding minor differences in clinically inactive components, and for which there
are no clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar and the approved biological product in terms of safety, purity
and potency. Under this proposed approval pathway, biological products are approved based on demonstrating they are biosimilar
to, and in addition possibly interchangeable with, a biological product that is already approved by the FDA, which is called a
reference product. The approval of a biologic product biosimilar to our prospective products could have a materially adverse impact
on our business, may be significantly less costly to bring to the market and may be priced significantly lower than our products,
but such approval may only occur after our twelve-year exclusivity period.



Pharmaceutical coverage, pricing and
reimbursement.Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of any products for which we may
obtain regulatory approval. In the United States and other markets, sales of any products for which we receive regulatory approval
for commercial sale will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement from third-party payors. Third-party payors include
government health administrative authorities, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. The process
for determining whether a payor will provide coverage for a drug product may be separate from the process for setting the price
or reimbursement rate that the payor will pay for the drug product. Third-party payors may limit coverage to specific drug products
on an approved list, or formulary, which might not include all of the FDA-approved drug products for a particular indication. Third-party
payors are increasingly challenging the price and examining the medical necessity and cost-effectiveness of medical products and
services, in addition to their safety and efficacy. We may need to conduct expensive pharmacoeconomic studies in order to demonstrate
the medical necessity and cost-effectiveness of our prospective products, in addition to the costs required to obtain the FDA approvals.
Additionally, our products may not be considered medically necessary or cost-effective. A payor’s decision to provide coverage
for a drug product does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Adequate third-party reimbursement may
not be available to enable us to maintain price levels sufficient to realize an appropriate return on our investment in product
development.



In March 2010, a significant healthcare
reform was signed into law in the United States. The healthcare reform law substantially changes the way healthcare will be financed
by both governmental and private insurers, and significantly impacts the pharmaceutical industry. The comprehensive $940 billion
dollar overhaul is expected to extend coverage to approximately 32 million previously uninsured Americans. The healthcare reform
law contains a number of provisions, including those governing enrollment in federal healthcare programs, reimbursement changes
and fraud and abuse, which will impact existing government healthcare programs and will result in the development of new programs,
including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback
program.



Additionally, the healthcare reform law,
as limited by the United States Supreme Court’s decision in June 2012:



| | • | Increases the minimum level of Medicaid rebates payable by manufacturers of brand-name drugs from 15.1% to 23.1%;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Requires collection of rebates for drugs paid by Medicaid managed care organizations; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | Imposes a non-deductible annual fee on pharmaceutical manufacturers or importers who sell “branded prescription drugs”
to specified federal government programs.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



56







There have been proposed in Congress a number
of legislative initiatives regarding healthcare, including possible repeal of the healthcare reform law. At this time, it remains
unclear whether there will be any changes made to the healthcare reform law, whether to certain provisions or its entirety.



In the European Union, pricing and reimbursement
schemes vary widely from country to country. Some countries provide that drug products may be marketed only after agreeing on a
reimbursement price. Some countries may require the completion of additional studies that compare the cost-effectiveness of a particular
drug to currently available therapies. For example, the European Union provides options for its member states to restrict the range
of drug products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal
products for human use. European Union member states may approve a specific price for a drug product or it may instead adopt a
system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the drug product on the market. Other member
states allow companies to set their own prices for drug products, but monitor and control company profits. The downward pressure
on health care costs in general, particularly prescription drugs, has become intense. As a result, increasingly high barriers are
being erected to the entry of new products. In addition, in some countries, cross-border imports from low-priced markets exert
competitive pressure that may reduce pricing within a country. Any country that has price controls or reimbursement limitations
for drug products may not allow favorable reimbursement and pricing arrangements.



Environmental, Health and Safety Matters



We, our agents and our service providers,
including our manufacturers, may be subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing
air emissions, water and wastewater discharges, noise emissions, the use, management and disposal of hazardous, radioactive and
biological materials and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We believe that our business, operations and facilities,
including, to our knowledge, those of our agents and service providers, are being operated in compliance in all material respects
with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. All information with respect to any chemical substance
is filed and stored as a Material Safety Data Sheet, as required by applicable environmental regulations. Based on information
currently available to us, we do not expect environmental costs and contingencies to have a material adverse effect on us. However,
significant expenditures could be required in the future if we, our agents or our service providers are required to comply with
new or more stringent environmental or health and safety laws, regulations or requirements.



C. Organizational Structure



Our subsidiaries and the countries of their
incorporation are as follows:

D. Property, Plant and Equipment



Our corporate headquarters are located at
1/3 High-Tech Park, Givat Ram, Jerusalem, Israel, where we lease and occupy approximately 2,600 square feet of space that includes
a laboratory where we perform potency assays. We or our lessor may terminate the lease by giving three months’ notice to
the other party.



The annual rent is approximately $60 thousand.
We are also renting a laboratory where most of our research and development activities are conducted, and an office space in Jerusalem’s
Har Hotzvim neighborhood where we intend to relocate our Israeli office. The Har Hotzvim laboratory and office space total approximately
15,400 square feet. The lease will expire in 2023, and we have an option to extend another five years. The current annual rent
(including management fees) is approximately $0.4 million, and rent increases are linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index.



57







Our U.S. subsidiary’s office is located
at 1 Kendall Square, Building 600, Suite 6-106, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, where we lease and occupy approximately 1,850 square
feet of space. The lease term will expire at the end of 2021. The annual rent is approximately $0.1 million.



We believe that our facilities are suitable
and adequate for our current needs, however, we may need to obtain additional work area to address growth in the future.

Certain information contained in or incorporated
by reference in the following Operating and Financial Review and Prospects contain “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include statements
concerning the future of our industry, the progress of our product development, including research and development and clinical
trials, and financing strategy. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as
a result of various factors including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 20-F. In some cases, these statements can be identified by terminologies such as “may,” “will,”
 “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “should,” “plans,”
 “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,”
 “predicts,” “potential” other similar terms or the negative of these terms. Although we believe that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 20-F are reasonable, they may be
inaccurate and actual results could differ materially from those projected. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent
in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation
by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements will be achieved. We undertake no obligation
to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.



A. Operating Results



We have incurred operating losses
since inception, have not generated any product sales revenues and have not achieved profitable operations. Our net loss,
accumulated during the development stage through December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 totaled approximately $76.1 million, $62.9
million, and $53.1 million, respectively, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses in future periods while
we continue to develop inodiftagene and other potential product candidates. Our ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent on various factors, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to maintain a
sufficient cash balance, or report profitable operations in the future, any of which could impact our ability to continue as
a going concern. Any such inability to continue as a going concern may result in our shareholders losing their entire
investment.



Revenue



To date, we have not generated any revenue.
We do not expect to receive any revenue from our product candidate unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize
our product candidate or enter into agreements with third parties to commercialize them. There can be no assurance that we will
receive such regulatory approvals, and if our product candidate is approved, that we will be successful in commercializing them.



Operating expenses



Our operating expenses consist of two components:
research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses. We anticipate that the costs for developing our product
candidate will increase as we progress into registrational trials of our product candidate, inodiftagene.



58







Research and development expenses



Research and development activities are
our primary focus. Products 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. We expect that
our research and development expenses will increase as we prepare for, and commence, registrational clinical trials of inodiftagene.
A key activity in progressing inodiftagene toward registrational trials is the development of large-scale manufacturing processes
that are tailored specifically to our product candidate. In order to confirm the suitability of a new manufacturing facility and/or
process, numerous experiments are needed. Moreover, the regulatory requirements in preparation for manufacturing a drug to be used
in a registrational trial or for commercial use involve validation activities and extensive updates to our regulatory files, all
of which are lengthy and costly activities. For these reasons, the development of manufacturing processes currently represents
the largest portion of our research and development expenses.



Research and development expenses include
the following:



| | • | employee-related expenses, such as salaries and share-based compensation;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | expenses of developing manufacturing processes;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------



| | • | expenses relating to outsourced and contracted services, such as external laboratories and consulting and advisory services;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | costs associated with pre-clinical activities;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------



| | • | patent application and maintenance expenses;
| | - | --------------------------------------------



| | • | expenses incurred in operating our laboratories and small-scale equipment; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | clinical development expenses, which include:
| | - | ---------------------------------------------



| | • | supply, development and manufacturing costs relating to clinical trial materials;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | employee-related expenses, including salaries and share-based compensation and other expenses; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | costs associated with clinical activities and regulatory compliance.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------



We have received grants from the
IIA in the framework of research and development programs for inodiftagene. These grants are subject to repayment through
future royalty payments on any products resulting from these research and development programs. We must pay royalties of 3.0%
to 5.0% on the revenues derived from sales of products developed in whole or in part using these IIA grants. The
maximum aggregate royalties paid generally cannot exceed 100% of the grants we have received, plus annual interest generally
equal to the 12-month LIBOR applicable to U.S. dollar deposits, as published on the first business day of each calendar year.
However, the transfer of production out of Israel, in whole or in part, could increase the royalty payment up to 200% of the
total liability. The total amount of grants we have received from the IIA, including accrued LIBOR interest, as of each of
December 31, 2018 and 2017   is approximately $4 million and as of December 31, 2016 is approximately $3.7 million. We have not paid
any royalties to the IIA.



We recognize research and development expenses
as we incur them. We do not account separately for research and development costs by product. An intangible asset arising from
the development of our product candidate is recognized if certain capitalization conditions are met. As of December 31, 2018, we
did not have any capitalized development costs.



59







General and administrative expenses



General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, including share-based compensation and related personnel expenses, professional service fees for accounting,
legal and bookkeeping, facilities, maintenance and insurance, board of directors’ fees and business development expenses.



Share-based compensation is based on the
fair value of the options granted, as measured by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with expected volatility determined based
on the historical volatility of our share price, duration to maturity equal to the expected life of the options, and the risk-free
interest rate determined based on the yield to maturity of government bonds (U.S. Treasury securities and bonds for options with
U.S. dollar-denominated exercise prices, and Israeli bonds for options with NIS-denominated exercise prices).



We anticipate that our general and administrative
expenses will increase due to the costs of being a public company in the United States, including increased legal, consulting and
tax-related service fees associated with maintaining compliance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements, accounting and audit fees, investor
relation expenses, director fees and director and officer insurance premiums.



Financing expense (income), net



Financing expense (income), net consists
of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits, bank fees and costs and interest expenses. In addition,
we record expense or income resulting from fluctuations of currencies we hold, primarily U.S. dollars and Euros, against the NIS
(our functional currency). A portion of our assets are held in foreign currency and a portion of our liabilities is denominated
in these currencies.



We issued derivative financial instruments
in the second quarter of 2018, the issuance costs of which were included as a financing expense. As the derivative financial instruments
are measured at fair value at the end of every reporting period (fluctuating mainly due to changes in share price and its expected
volatility, and assessments of the probabilities of future events), and the differences in fair value are recognized in our statement
of operations as financing expense (income), we expect financing expense (income), net to continue to fluctuate.



Income taxes



The standard corporate tax rate in Israel
was 23% for the 2018 tax year and thereafter, and 24% for the 2017 tax year. The annual tax rate for 2017 applicable to our U.S.
subsidiary is up to 40%. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Reform Act was signed into law. The legislation significantly changes
U.S. tax law, inter alia, by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective
January 1, 2018. Therefore, the aggregate annual federal and state tax rate applicable for our U.S. subsidiary in 2018 is up to
32%.



We have not generated taxable
income since inception, and have operating tax loss carryforwards resulting from the liquidation of BTI following
the Reincorporation. As of December 31, 2018, our operating tax loss carryforwards were approximately $5.4 million and
capital loss carryforwards were approximately $12.3 million. Our operating tax loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2017
were approximately $3.7 million and capital loss carryforwards were approximately $13.3 million. Our operating tax loss
carry forwards as of December 31, 2016 were approximately  $2.6 million and capital loss carryforwards were approximately $12
million.



Our wholly-owned Israeli
subsidiary, Anchiano Therapeutics Israel Ltd., had operating tax loss carryforwards of approximately $56.0 million as of
December 31, 2018 and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million. As of December 31, 2017, it had operating tax
loss carryforwards of approximately $50.5 million and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million, and as of
December 31, 2016, it had operating tax loss carryforwards of approximately  $39.5 million and capital loss carryforwards
of approximately  $1.3 million.



We anticipate that we will be able to carry
forward these tax losses indefinitely. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay taxes in Israel until we have taxable income after
the full utilization of our carryforward tax losses.



60







We recognize deferred tax assets on losses
for tax purposes carried forward to subsequent years if utilization of the related tax benefit against a future taxable income
is expected. We have not created deferred taxes on our tax loss carryforward since their utilization is not expected in the foreseeable
future.



Our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Anchiano
Therapeutics, Inc., provides us with general and clinical trial management services. For these services, the subsidiary is compensated
on a cost-plus basis, and records income taxes accordingly.



Functional and Presentation Currency



The NIS is the currency that represents
the principal economic environment in which we operate and thus is our functional currency. However, for financial reporting purposes,
our financial statements, which are prepared using the functional currency, have been translated into a different presentation
currency, the U.S. dollar. As we have recently completed our initial public offering on the Nasdaq, we believe presentation in
U.S. dollars will facilitate U.S. investors’ understanding of our financial statements. Our assets and liabilities are translated
at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date; our income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and shareholders’
equity is translated based on historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net loss but are
included in foreign exchange translation adjustment to other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended
December 31, 2017



Research and development expenses



Research and development expenses
increased by approximately $1.3 million, or 21%, to approximately $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared
to approximately $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
clinical trial initiation expenses, manufacturing and production processes development expenses and an increase in clinical
manpower.







61







General and administrative expenses



General and administrative expenses increased
by approximately $2.3 million, or 73%, to approximately $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to approximately
$3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was mainly due to an option grant to our Chief Executive Officer
and increases in payroll provisions, professional and consulting expenses and rent expenses.



Financing expenses (income), net



Financing expenses decreased by
approximately $0.5 million, or 524%, to approximately ($0.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This change was primarily due to issuance costs related to
the derivative financial instruments issued in the second quarter of 2018, changes in fair value of derivative financial
instruments, interest accrued on bridge loans, and exchange rate fluctuations.



Income tax



Income tax increased by approximately
$0.3 million, to approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to approximately $0.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in activity in our U.S. subsidiary and in
share-based compensation, which may be deductible for tax purposes in the future.



Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended
December 31, 2016



Research and development expenses



Research and development expenses
increased by approximately $3.8 million, or 161%, to approximately $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017,
compared to approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase resulted primarily due to an
increase in production expenses, expenses related to the development of our production processes, purchases of
additional materials and expenses related to the preparation for our clinical trials.



General and administrative expenses



General and administrative expenses
increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 40%, to approximately $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared
to approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to our engaging our
current Chief Executive Officer and establishing an office in the United States during 2016, as well as increased investor
relations and business development expenses.



Financing expense (income), net



Financing expense (income), net decreased
by approximately $0.1 million, or 346%, to an expense of approximately $91 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared
to income of approximately ($37) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease resulted primarily from foreign currency
fluctuations against our functional currency.





62







Income tax



Income tax increased by approximately
$0.2 million, or 136%, to approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to approximately $0.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2016, due primarily to an increase in activity in our U.S. subsidiary and to
share-based compensation, which is deductible for tax purposes at a different point in time.

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.



Our quarterly research and development
expenses fluctuate in accordance with the scope of preparations in each quarter for our upcoming registrational clinical trials,
primarily consisting of inodiftagene manufacturing activity. We expect research and development expenses to continue to increase
as we commence our upcoming registrational trials.





63







Changes to our general and administrative
expenses are mainly caused by the recognition of share-based compensation expenses, notably with regard to an options grant during
the second quarter of 2018, of which half of the expense was recognized in that quarter, as well as increased leasing expenses.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase beyond the average over the last eight quarters, primarily
due to expenses associated with being a Nasdaq-traded company.



Changes to our income tax expenses result
from an increase in activity in our U.S. subsidiary and from share-based compensation, which is deductible for tax purposes at
a future point in time. We expect income tax expenses to continue to increase beyond the average over the last eight quarters,
primarily due to continued increase in activity in our U.S. subsidiary.



Changes to financing expense (income), net
are caused by exchange rate fluctuations within each quarter, bank fees and interest from deposits. In the second quarter of 2018,
financing expense (income), net also reflects issuance costs relating to derivative financial instruments issued that quarter.
As the derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value at the end of every reporting period and the difference in fair
value is recognized in our statement of operations as financing expense (income), net, we expect financing expense (income), net
to continue to fluctuate.



B. Liquidity and Capital Resources



We are a clinical-stage company and have
not generated revenue since our formation. We have incurred operating losses for each year since our inception in 2004. To achieve
operating profit, we must successfully identify, develop and market products, alone or together with others. Our principal activities
since inception have been research and product development and capital-raising in order to support our research and development
activities. We have financed our operations from inception primarily through various private placement transactions, public offerings
of our securities and grants from the IIA.



As we are in the clinical stage and
our planned activities depend on future events, including our ability to raise additional funds through offerings, our
recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect the net
proceeds from our February 2018 initial public offering will provide us with enough capital to fund our activities through
the second quarter of 2020.



In the near term, we expect to continue
to incur significant and increasing operating losses as a result of the research and development expenses as we further the development
of inodiftagene. We do not anticipate generating operating income until our product candidate is successfully commercialized given
that we will incur significant costs associated with clinical trials and there is no assurance that we will obtain marketing approval
for our product candidate and that, if such approval is obtained, our product candidate will achieve market acceptance.

Cash flows



The table below shows a summary of our cash
flow activities for the periods indicated:



|                                                     |  | Fiscal Year Ended  December 31, |

|Net cash used in operating activities                |  | $                               | (14,744
|Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities  |  |                                 | (338   
|Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities  |  |                                 | 21,162 
|Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents |  | $                               | 6,080  



Operating activities



Net cash used in operating activities
increased by approximately $6.2 million, to approximately $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
approximately $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase is primarily due to payables for production
process development, purchase of materials, preparation for clinical trials and investor relations expenses.



Investing activities



Net cash used in investing activities
increased by $0.3 million, to approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $0.03 million for
the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to equipment purchases for
our laboratory and investments in a secured deposit in 2018.



Financing activities



Net cash provided by financing
activities increased by $16.0 million, to approximately $21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $5.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to a private
offering of our ordinary shares in the second quarter of 2018.



C. Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.



For a description of the Company’s
research and development policies for the last three years, see “Item 4.—Information on the Company—Business
Overview—Intellectual Property.”



D. Trend Information



Not applicable.



E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



We have not entered into any transactions
with unconsolidated entities as to which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments
or other contingent arrangements that would expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligation
under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.

* Not including prospective repayments to the IIA of grants,
valued at approximately $4.0 million as of December 31, 2018, which we do not record as liabilities, due to the uncertainty regarding
whether we will be required to repay them.



** An agreement with Syneos Health, or Syneos, to act as
our clinical research organization (CRO) and to manage our Codex Clinical Trial. Our minimum future obligation to Syneos is $2.7
million. This agreement is governed by a Master Services Agreement with INC Research, LLC (now Syneos) dated October 25, 2017.



Other substantial liabilities are as follows:



| | • | Manufacturing expenses payable to Boehringer-Ingelheim, or BI, with whom we have contracted to supply us with inodiftagene
drug substance for registrational clinical trials. For more information, see “Item 4.—Information on the Company—Business

set by the board of directors, in the target amount of $200,000; (3) payment of nine months’ of salary upon termination (or

in the case of termination or voluntary resignation with regard to changes in control of the company, a full annual bonus and full
vesting acceleration of option warrants); (4) social benefits and reimbursement of expenses; and (5) an allocation of the number
of nonqualified options that were required to bring the Chief Executive Officer’s holdings to 7% of our fully diluted share
capital (after the allotment and exercise of options), as calculated after completion of any fundraising until (and not including)
a public offering in the United States, but in any case no later than July 20, 2019. In total, we allocated Dr. Haluska options
to purchase 1,636,926 shares. The options vest in four annual tranches from the date of his employment (May 2016), and the exercise

Our other employees are employed under the
terms prescribed in their respective employment contracts. The employees are entitled to the social benefits prescribed by law
and as otherwise provided in their agreements. These agreements each contain provisions standard for a company in our industry
regarding non-competition, confidentiality of information and assignment of inventions. Under currently applicable labor laws,
we may not be able to enforce covenants not to compete and therefore may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from
the expertise of some of our former employees. See “Item 3.—Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related
to Our Operations” for a further description of the enforceability of non-competition clauses. We also provide certain of
our employees with a company car, which is leased from a leasing company.

Executive officers are also employed on
the terms and conditions prescribed in employment agreements. These agreements provide for notice periods of varying duration for
termination of the agreement by us or by the relevant executive officer, during which time the executive officer will continue
to receive base salary and benefits. See “Item 3.—Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Operations—If
we are unable to retain qualified employees, our ability to implement our business plan may be adversely affected.”



Equity Incentive Plans



2011 Share Option Plan



On December 19, 2011, our board of directors
adopted a share option plan, or the 2011 Plan, to allocate options to purchase our ordinary shares to our directors, officers,
employees and consultants, and those of our affiliated companies (as such term is defined under the 2011 Plan), or the Grantees.
The 2011 Plan is administered by our board of directors or a committee that was designated by our board of directors for such purpose,
or the Administrator.



Under the 2011 Plan, we may grant options
to purchase ordinary shares, or Options, under four tracks: (i) Approved 102 capital gains Options through a trustee, which was
approved by the Israeli Tax Authority in accordance with Section 102(a) of the ITO, and granted under the tax track set forth in
Section 102(b)(2) of the ITO, or the Approved 102 Capital Gains Options. The holding period under this tax track is 24 months from
the date of allocation of Options to the trustee or such period as may be determined in any amendment of Section 102 of the ITO,
or any applicable tax ruling or guidelines; (ii) Approved 102 Earned Income Options through a trustee, granted under the tax track
set forth is Section 102(b)(1) of the ITO, or the Approved 102 Earned Income Options. The holding period under this tax track is
12 months from the date of allocation of Options to the trustee or such period as may be determined in any amendment of Section
102 of the ITO; (iii) Unapproved 102 Options (the Options will not be allocated through a trustee and will not be subject to a
holding period), or the Unapproved 102 Options; and (iv) 3(i) Options (the Options will not be subject to a holding period). These
Options shall be subject to taxation pursuant to Section 3(i) of the ITO, or Section 3(i).



Options pursuant to the first three tax
tracks (under Section 102 of the ITO) can be granted to our employees and directors and the grant of Options under Section 3(i)
can be granted to our consultants and controlling shareholders (a controlling shareholder is defined under the Section 102 of the
ITO is a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or together with a “relative,” (i) the right to at least 10%
of the company’s issued capital or 10% of the voting power; (ii) the right to hold at least 10% of the company’s issued
capital or 10% of the voting power, or the right to purchase such rights; (iii) the right to receive at least 10% of the company’s
profits; or (iv) the right to appoint a company’s director). Grantees who are not Israeli residents may be granted options
that are subject to the applicable tax laws in their respective jurisdictions.



We determine, in our sole discretion, under
which of the first three tax tracks above the Options are granted and we notify the Grantee in a grant letter, as to the elected
tax track. As mentioned above, consultants and controlling shareholders can only be granted Section 3(i) Options.



The number of ordinary shares authorized
to be issued under the 2011 Plan will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of ordinary shares
issued as a result of a distribution of bonus shares, change in our capitalization (split, combination, reclassification of the
shares or other capital change), or issuance of rights to purchase ordinary shares or payment of a dividend. We will not allocate
fractions of ordinary shares and the number of ordinary shares shall be rounded up to the closest number of ordinary shares.



In the event of a (i) merger or consolidation
in which we (in this context, specifically Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.) is not the surviving entity or pursuant to which the other
company becomes Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.’s parent company or that pursuant to which Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. is the surviving
company but another entity holds 50% or more of Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. voting rights, (ii) an acquisition of all or substantially
all of our ordinary shares, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all Company assets, or (iv) any other event with a similar impact,
the Company may exchange all of its outstanding Options granted under the 2011 Plan that remain unexercised prior to any such transaction
for options to purchase shares of the successor corporation (or those of an affiliated company) following the consummation of such
transaction.



72







Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator,
the exercise price of an Option granted under the 2011 Plan will be the average of the market price of the Company’s ordinary
shares during the 22 business days prior to the date on which our board of directors authorized the grant of Options; provided,
however, that such exercise price cannot be lower than the market price at the close of the trading day at which it was granted
by our board of directors. The exercise price will be specified in the grant letter every Grantee received from us in which the
Grantee notifies of the decision to grant him/her Options under the 2011 Plan.



Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator,
the Options granted under the Plan will become vested and may be exercised in 16 equal portions of 6.25% of the total number of
Options, at the end of each quarter following the day the Options were granted. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors,
the Options may be exercised for ten years following the date of grant, unless terminated earlier, and as long as the Grantee is
employed by the Company (or by an affiliated company), or provides service to the Company (or an affiliated company).



The Administrator may, in its absolute discretion,
accelerate the time at which Options granted under the 2011 Plan or any portion of which will vest.



Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator,
in the event that the Grantee’s employment was terminated, not for Cause (as defined in the 2011 Plan), the Grantee may exercise
that portion of the Options that had vested as of the date of such termination until the end of the specified term in the grant
letter or the 2011 Plan. The portion of the Options that had not vested at such date, will be forfeited and can be re-granted according
to the terms of the 2011 Plan.



2017 Equity-Based Incentive Plan



On February 22, 2017, our board of directors
adopted our 2017 Equity-Based Incentive Plan, or the 2017 Plan, to allocate a variety of share-based awards to our directors, officers,
employees, consultants, advisors and service providers, and those of our affiliates (companies that control us, are controlled
by us or are under common control with us), or the Participants. The 2017 Plan is currently administered by our board of directors,
and may be administered by a committee designated by our board of directors for such purpose, or the Administrator.



Under the 2017 Plan, we may grant options
to purchase ordinary shares or ADSs, restricted shares or ADSs, restricted share units and other awards based on our ordinary shares,
all of which are referred to as Awards. We may grant Awards under the same four tracks as described above with respect to the 2011
Plan, subject to the same conditions as apply for the 2011 Plan. In addition, we may grant incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options to Participants who are residents of the United States, and we may grant awards to Participants who are residents
of other countries that comply with the laws of those jurisdictions.



The number of ordinary shares authorized
to be issued under the 2017 Plan will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of ordinary shares
issued as a result of a distribution of bonus shares, change in our capitalization (split, combination, reclassification of the
shares or other capital change), issuance of rights to purchase ordinary shares or payment of a dividend. We will not allocate
fractions of ordinary shares and the number of ordinary shares shall be rounded down to the closest number of ordinary shares.



In the event of a (i) merger, consolidation,
amalgamation or the like with or into another corporation, (ii) an acquisition (including an exchange) of all or substantially
all of our ordinary shares, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or (iv) any other event determined by the
Administrator to have a similar impact, then — unless otherwise determined by our board of directors in its sole and absolute
discretion — any Award then outstanding will be assumed or an equivalent Award shall be substituted by the successor corporation,
under substantially the same terms as the Award.



73







The exercise price of an option granted
under the 2017 Plan will, in general, be no less than the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date
of grant, subject to any minimum exercise price prescribed by law. The Administrator determines the vesting provisions for each
Award and may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which options granted under the 2017 Plan will vest. Unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator, options may be exercised for ten years (five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted
to a 10% shareholder), and as long as the Participant is employed by the Company (or by an affiliated company) or provides services
to the Company (or an affiliated company). If a Participant’s employment is terminated, other than for cause, the Participant
may generally exercise vested options for a limited period following termination.



As of March 21, 2019, our board of directors
has approved the issuance, under our incentive plans, of options to purchase 2,819,767 ordinary shares currently outstanding at
an average exercise price of $3.11 per share.



C. Board Practices



Board of Directors



Our board of directors consists of nine
directors, of whom eight qualify as independent directors under the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq rules and the
independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.



Under our articles of association, our board
of directors must consist of not less than three and no more than eleven directors. Pursuant to our articles of association, the
vote required to appoint a director is a simple majority vote of holders of our voting shares participating and voting at the relevant
meeting.



In addition, our articles of association
allow our board of directors to appoint new directors to fill vacancies which occurred for any reason or as additional directors,
provided that the number of board members shall not exceed the maximum numbers of directors mentioned above. The appointment of
a director by the board shall be in effect until the following annual general meeting of the shareholders or until the end of his
tenure in accordance with our articles of association. Our board of directors may continue to operate for as long as the number
of directors is not less than the minimum number of directors mentioned above.



In addition, under the Companies Law, our
board of directors must determine the minimum number of directors who are required to have financial and accounting expertise.
Under applicable regulations, a director with financial and accounting expertise is a director who, by reason of his or her education,
professional experience and skill, has a high level of proficiency in and understanding of business accounting matters and financial
statements. He or she must be able to thoroughly comprehend the financial statements of the company and initiate discussion regarding
the manner in which financial information is presented. In determining the number of directors required to have such expertise,
the board of directors must consider, among other things, the type and size of the company and the scope and complexity of its
operations. Our board of directors has determined that we require at least one (1) director with the requisite financial and accounting
expertise and that Dr. Lawrence Howard, Ms. Ruth Alon, Mr. Reginald Hardy, Ms. Efrat Makov and Mr. Dennison Veru have such expertise.



Alternate Directors



Our articles of association provide, as
allowed by the Companies Law, that any director may, by written notice to us, appoint another person who is qualified to serve
as a director to serve as an alternate director. An alternate director has the same rights and responsibilities as a director,
except for the right to appoint an alternate director. The appointment of an alternate director does not negate the responsibilities
of the appointing director, who will continue to bear responsibility for the actions of the alternate, giving consideration to
the circumstances of the appointment. The Companies Law specifies certain qualifications for alternate directors, and provides
that one director may not serve as an alternate on the board of directors for another director, nor as an alternate on a committee
of which he or she is already a member. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, no director has appointed any other
person as an alternate director.



74







External Directors



We have elected to opt out of certain provisions
of the Companies Law that relate to “external directors.” The Companies Law generally requires an Israeli public company
to have at least two external directors, who must meet strict independence criteria to ensure that they are unaffiliated with the
company and any controlling shareholder. At least one of the external directors is required to have financial and accounting expertise,
and the other external director must have either financial and accounting expertise or professional qualifications, as defined
in the regulations promulgated under the Companies Law. There are detailed provisions relating to the election of external directors,
which are designed to result in their election by the shareholders other than controlling shareholders. The Companies Law also
provides that the external directors must serve on both the audit committee and the compensation committee, that the audit committee
and the compensation committee must both be chaired by external directors, and that at least one external director must serve on
every board committee. Additional rules govern the term and compensation of external directors. We complied with these requirements
while our ordinary shares were traded solely on the TASE. We will no longer be subject to these additional requirements when our
ordinary shares are delisted from the TASE, which will occur on June 17, 2019.



Pursuant to regulations under the Companies
Law, a company whose shares are traded on specified stock exchanges (including Nasdaq) and which satisfies certain conditions –
principally that it does not have a controlling shareholder as defined for this purpose in the Companies Law – can elect
not to comply with the above external director rules, and to comply instead with the requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq applicable
to U.S. public companies with respect to the independence of board members and with respect to the composition of the audit committee
and the compensation committee. Our board of directors made this election on March 11, 2019, and therefore we will be exempt from
the requirement to appoint external directors (and the related requirements described above) so long as we do not have a controlling
shareholder. In accordance with the relevant regulations, the directors originally elected as external directors under Israeli
law will continue to serve as directors of the Company until the second annual shareholders meeting following the board’s
decision. The Companies Law requires gender diversity on the board of directors of a public company. Accordingly, if in the future
all of our directors will be of the same gender, at least one of the directors to be elected at the next election of directors
must be of the other gender.



Committees of the Board of Directors



Our board of directors has established the
following committees. Each committee operates in accordance with a written charter that sets forth the committee’s structure,
operations, membership requirements, responsibilities and authority to engage advisors.



Audit committee



Under the Companies Law, the Exchange Act
and Nasdaq rules, we are required to establish an audit committee.



The responsibilities of an audit committee
under the Companies Law include identifying and addressing flaws in the business management of the company, reviewing and approving
related party transactions, establishing whistleblower procedures, overseeing the company’s internal audit system and the
performance of its internal auditor, and assessing the scope of the work and recommending the fees of the company’s independent
accounting firm. In addition, the audit committee is required to determine whether certain related party actions and transactions
are “material” or “extraordinary” for the purpose of the requisite approval procedures under the Companies
Law and to establish procedures for considering proposed transactions with a controlling shareholder.



In accordance with U.S. law and Nasdaq requirements,
our audit committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent auditors
and for assisting our board of directors in monitoring our financial statements, the effectiveness of our internal controls and
our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.



75







Under the Companies Law, the audit committee
must consist of at least three directors who meet certain independence criteria. Under the Nasdaq rules, we are required to maintain
an audit committee consisting of at least three independent directors, all of whom are financially literate and one of whom has
accounting or related financial management expertise. Each of the members of the audit committee is required to be “independent”
as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.



Our audit committee currently consists of
Ms. Ruth Alon, Ms. Efrat Makov and Mr. Dennison Veru. All of the members are independent as defined in the Companies Law, SEC rules
and Nasdaq listing requirements. Our board of directors has determined that all members of our audit committee meet the requirements
for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq rules. Our board of directors has determined
that Mr. Veru and Ms. Makov are audit committee financial experts as defined by the SEC rules and have the requisite financial
experience as defined by the Nasdaq rules.



Compensation committee



Under both the Companies Law and Nasdaq
rules, we are required to establish a compensation committee.



The responsibilities of a compensation committee
under the Companies Law include recommending to the board of directors, for ultimate shareholder approval by a special majority,
a policy governing the compensation of directors and officers based on specified criteria, reviewing modifications to and implementing
such compensation policy from time to time, and approving the actual compensation terms of directors and officers prior to approval
by the board of directors.



The Companies Law and related regulations
require the appointment of a compensation committee that complies with the requirements of Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, we are required
to maintain a compensation committee consisting of at least two independent directors; each of the members of the compensation
committee is required to be independent under Nasdaq rules relating to compensation committee members, which are different from
the general test for independence of board and committee members. Our compensation committee currently consists of Ms. Ruth Alon,
Mr. Reginald Hardy and Ms. Efrat Makov. All of the members are independent as defined in the Companies Law and the Nasdaq listing
requirements.



Nominating and Governance Committee



We intend to establish a nominating and
governance committee, responsible for making recommendations to the board of directors regarding candidates for directorships and
the size and composition of the board. In addition, the committee will be responsible for overseeing our corporate governance guidelines
and reporting and making recommendations to the board concerning corporate governance matters. Under the Companies Law, nominations
for director may also, under certain circumstances, be made by shareholders in accordance with the conditions prescribed by applicable
law and our articles of association.



Internal Auditor



Under the Companies Law, the board of directors
is required to appoint an internal auditor recommended by the audit committee. The role of the internal auditor is to examine,
among other things, whether the company’s actions comply with applicable law and proper business procedures. The internal
auditor may not be an interested party, a director or an officer of the company, or a relative of any of the foregoing, nor may
the internal auditor be our independent accountant or a representative thereof. Mr. Joseph Ginossar, CPA, who is the chief executive
officer of Fahn Kanne Control Management Ltd. (the Business Risk Services division of Grant Thornton Israel), currently serves
as our internal auditor.



76







Fiduciary Duties and Approval of Related Party Transactions



Fiduciary duties of directors and officers



Israeli law imposes a duty of care and a
duty of loyalty on all directors and officers of a company. The duty of care requires a director or officer to act with the level
of care with which a reasonable director or officer in the same position would have acted under the same circumstances. The duty
of care includes, among other things, a duty to use reasonable means, under the circumstances, to obtain information on the advisability
of a given action brought for his approval or performed by virtue of his position and other important information pertaining to
such action. The duty of loyalty requires the director or officer to act in good faith and for the benefit of the company.



Approval of related party transactions



Under the Companies Law, a related party
transaction may be approved only if it is for the benefit of the company. A transaction that is not an extraordinary transaction
in which a director or officer has a personal interest requires the approval of the board of directors, unless the articles of
association of the company provide otherwise. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, it must be approved by the audit
committee and the board of directors, and, under certain circumstances, by the shareholders of the company. An “extraordinary
transaction” is a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, other than on market terms or that is likely
to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities.



Pursuant to the Companies Law, extraordinary
transactions in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest require the approval of the audit committee, or the compensation
committee if the transaction is in connection with employment or service with the company, the board of directors and the shareholders
of the company. The shareholder approval must be by a simple majority of all votes cast, provided that (i) such majority includes
a simple majority of the votes cast by non-controlling shareholders having no personal interest in the matter or (ii) the total
number of votes of shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above who voted against such transaction does not exceed 2% of the total
voting rights in the company.



The Companies Law prohibits any director
who has a personal interest in an extraordinary transaction from being present for the discussion and voting pertaining to such
transaction in the audit committee or board of directors. Nevertheless, a director who has a personal interest may be present at
the meeting and vote on the matter if a majority of the directors or members of the audit committee have a personal interest in
the approval of such transaction; in this case, however, the transaction also requires shareholder approval.



Director and officer compensation



Under the Companies Law, we are required
to approve, at least once every three years, a compensation policy with respect to our directors and officers. Following the recommendation
of our compensation committee, the compensation policy must be approved by our board of directors and our shareholders. The shareholder
approval must be by a simple majority of all votes cast, provided that (i) such majority includes a simple majority of the votes
cast by non-controlling shareholders having no personal interest in the matter or (ii) the total number of votes of shareholders
mentioned in clause (i) above who voted against such transaction does not exceed 2% of the total voting rights in the company.
In general, the terms of compensation of directors, the chief executive officer and any employee or service provider who is considered
a controlling shareholder must be approved separately by the compensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders.
The compensation terms of other officers who report directly to the chief executive officer require the approval of the compensation
committee and the board of directors.



Directors’ Service Contracts



There are no arrangements or understandings
between us and any of our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of our directors, on the other hand, providing for benefits upon
termination of their employment or service as directors of our company or any of our subsidiaries.



77







D. Employees



As of December 31, 2018, we had 19 employees
based at our corporate headquarters in Jerusalem, Israel and our U.S. subsidiary in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The following table
sets forth the total number of full-time employees as of the periods indicated by function and geography:

Local labor laws govern the length of the
workday and workweek, minimum wages for employees, procedures for hiring and dismissing employees, determination of severance pay,
annual leave, sick days, advance notice of termination, Social Security payments or regional equivalents, and other conditions
of employment and include equal opportunity and anti-discrimination laws. None of our employees is party to any collective bargaining
agreements. We generally provide our employees with benefits and working conditions beyond the required minimums. We have a good
relationship with our employees, and have never experienced any employment-related work stoppages.



E. Beneficial Ownership of Executive Officers and Directors



The beneficial ownership of our ordinary
shares (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Under these rules,
a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to
vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition
of the security. For purposes of the table below, we deem ordinary shares issuable pursuant to options or warrants that are currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, if any, to be outstanding and to be beneficially
owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but
we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.



Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder’s
address is c/o Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd., 1/3 High-Tech Village, Givat Ram, P.O. Box 392649, Jerusalem, 9139102 Israel.

ITEM 7.          Major
Shareholders And Related Party Transactions



A. Major Shareholders



The following table sets forth certain information
regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding ordinary shares, including ordinary shares represented by ADSs, as of the
date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, by each person or entity who we know beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding ordinary
shares. For purposes of the table below, we deem ordinary shares issuable pursuant to options or warrants that are currently exercisable
or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, if any, to be outstanding and to be beneficially
owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but
we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.



None of our shareholders have
different voting rights from other shareholders. We are not aware of any arrangement that may, at a subsequent date, result
in a change of control of our company.



As of the date of this Annual Report on
Form 20-F, there is one shareholder of record of our ordinary shares. The number of record holders is not representative of the
number of beneficial holders of our ordinary shares, as all shares we have issued are currently recorded in the name of our Israeli
share registrar, Mizrahi-Tefahot Nominees Co. Ltd. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, there were no record holders
of our ordinary shares in the United States.



Based upon a review of the information provided to us by The Bank of New York Mellon,
the depositary of the ADSs, as of March 21, 2019, there were 47 holders of record of the ADSs on record with the Depository Trust
Company. These numbers are not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our ADSs nor is it representative of where
such beneficial holders reside, since many of these ADSs were held of record by brokers or other nominees.

B. Related Party Transactions



Agreements with Directors and Officers



Employment Agreements



We have entered into employment agreements
with each of our executive officers. See “Item 6.—Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Compensation—Employment
and Consulting Agreements.”



Indemnification Agreements



Our Articles of Association permit us to
insure each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law. We have obtained Directors and
Officers insurance for each of our executive officers and directors.



Private Financings



In February 2018, CBI, which at the time
was our controlling shareholder, extended bridge financing to us in the principal amount of $1.0 million, which was pending
completion of the private placement of equity securities described below, and subsequently provided an additional $2.0 million
principal amount of bridge financing. The unpaid principal amount of the bridge financing bore annual interest at the rate payable
on three-month United States Treasury bills. The repayment of the bridge financing was made by deducting the repayment amount from
the $5.0 million purchase price of the securities acquired by CBI pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement described below.



Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated March 29, 2018, between us and the investors identified therein, in June 2018 we issued 5,960,787 ordinary shares, and warrants
to purchase an additional 4,768,629 ordinary shares, as well as price protection and certain other rights. The gross proceeds from
the sale of the ordinary shares amounted to $22.9 million. As a result of our February 2019 initial public offering, the price
protection rights were triggered, resulting in the issuance of 8,262,800 ordinary shares and warrants representing 6,207,329 ordinary
shares. The warrants can be exercised for ordinary shares at a price of $1.932 per share. If all of the warrants are exercised,
it would result in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $21.2 million. Offering expenses were approximately $1.0 million.
For information regarding the current shareholdings of Shavit Capital Funds and CBI, see “Item 7.—Major Shareholders
and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders.”



Information Rights Agreement



We have entered into an information rights
agreement, effective as of February 14, 2019, with one of our principal shareholders, CBI. The information rights agreement provides
CBI with rights to receive our annual and quarterly financial statements, auditor consent letters and valuation reports, and other
information reasonably required by CBI to enable it to prepare its financial statements. The information rights agreement also
requires that we provide CBI with information material to the Company and mandated to be disclosed by the requirements applicable
to CBI, as well as certain other material information of the Company. The information rights agreement contains customary confidentiality
provisions and terminates when CBI, and any company that controls CBI, is no longer required to issue public reports relating to
us pursuant to the Israeli Securities Law or the Exchange Act.

of any sale in Israel of the ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, into freely repatriable dollars, at a rate of exchange prevailing
at the time of conversion, pursuant to regulations issued under the Currency Control Law, 1978, provided that Israeli income tax
has been withheld by the Company with respect to such amounts.



E. Taxation



The following description is not intended
to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs.
You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences
that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign, including Israeli, or other taxing jurisdiction.



Israeli Tax Considerations and Government Programs



The following is a summary of the current
tax regime in the State of Israel, which applies to us and to persons who hold our ordinary shares or ADSs.



84









This summary does not discuss all the aspects
of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to
some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. Examples of this kind of investor include traders in securities
or persons who do not hold our ordinary shares or ADSs as a capital asset. Some parts of this discussion are based on a new tax
legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation. The discussion should not be construed as
legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations.



HOLDERS AND POTENTIAL INVESTORS ARE URGED
TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE ISRAELI OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR
ORDINARY SHARES OR ADSs, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY FOREIGN, STATE OR LOCAL TAXES.



General Corporate Tax Structure in Israel



Israeli resident companies are generally
subject to corporate tax on both ordinary income and capital gains, currently at the rate of 23% of a company’s taxable income.
The corporate tax rate has been declining in recent years, and it was 24% for the 2017 tax year. Capital gains derived by an Israeli
resident company are subject to tax at the prevailing corporate tax rate.



Under the Israeli Encouragement of Capital
Investments Law, 1959 (the “Encouragement Law”), income generated by a “Benefited Enterprise” will be exempt
from tax for up to 10 years from the year it so elects. Our subsidiary made such an election in 2009. The exemption is contingent
upon compliance with the criteria prescribed in the Encouragement Law, including receipt of approval of biotechnology company status.
We are in the process of obtaining such approval.



Taxation of Our Shareholders



Capital gains



Capital gains tax is imposed on the disposal
of capital assets by an Israeli resident, and on the disposal of capital assets by a non-resident of Israel if those assets (i)
are located in Israel, (ii) are shares or a right to shares in an Israeli resident corporation, or (iii) represent, directly or
indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel. The Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 (the “Tax Ordinance”)
distinguishes between “Real Gain” and “Inflationary Surplus.” Real Gain is the excess of the total capital
gain over Inflationary Surplus. The Inflationary Surplus is a portion of the total capital gain which is equivalent to the increase
of the relevant asset’s price that is attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index or, in certain circumstances,
a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of sale. Inflationary Surplus is not subject to tax.



Real Gain accrued by individuals on the
sale of our ordinary shares or ADSs will be taxed at the rate of up to 25%. However, if the individual shareholder is a “Substantial
Shareholder” (i.e., a person who holds, directly or indirectly, alone or “Together with Another Person,” 10%
or more of one of the “Means of Control” of the Israeli resident company) at the time of sale or at any time during
the preceding 12-month period, such gain will be taxed at the rate of 30%. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Together
with Another Person” means together with his or her “Relative,” as well as with a person who is not his or her
Relative and who has a permanent cooperation with him or her under an agreement in material matters of the Company, directly or
indirectly. The term “Relative” means any of the following: (i) a spouse, brother, sister, parent, parent of a parent,
descendant and descendant of a spouse, and spouse of any of the aforementioned; and (ii) a descendant of a brother or sister and
a brother or sister of a parent. Also, for purposes of this paragraph, the term “Means of Control” generally includes
the right to vote in a general meeting of shareholders, the right to receive profits, the right to nominate a director or an officer,
the right to receive assets upon liquidation (after payment of debts), or the right to instruct someone who holds any of the aforesaid
rights regarding the manner in which he or she is to exercise such right(s), and whether by virtue of shares, rights to shares
or other rights, or in any other manner, including by means of voting agreements or trust agreements. In addition, capital gains
generated by an individual claiming deduction of financing expenses in respect of such gain will be taxed at the rate of up to
30%.



85







Individual and corporate shareholders dealing
in securities in Israel are taxed at the tax rates applicable to business income — in 2019, a tax rate of 23% for corporations
and a marginal tax rate of up to 47% for individuals. In addition, in 2019 a 3% excess tax is levied on individuals whose total
taxable income in Israel exceeds NIS 649,560 (approximately $175,000).



Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital gain
derived from the sale of our ordinary shares or ADSs by a shareholder who is a non-resident of Israel may be exempt from Israeli
taxation, provided that all of the following conditions are met: (i) the ordinary shares or ADSs were purchased upon or after the
listing of the securities on the stock exchange, (ii) the seller does not have a permanent establishment in Israel to which the
derived capital gain is attributable, (iii) if the seller is a corporation, no more than 25% of its Means of Control, as defined
above, are held, directly and indirectly, by shareholders who are Israeli residents, alone or Together with Another Person, as
defined above, or along with another Israeli resident, and (iv) if the seller is a corporation, there are no Israeli residents
that are directly or indirectly entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of the corporation. In addition, the sale of
ordinary shares or ADSs may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. For example,
the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty generally exempts U.S. residents from Israeli capital gains tax in connection with such sale, provided
(i) the U.S. treaty resident did not own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the Israeli resident company’s voting power
at any time within the 12-month period preceding such sale; (ii) the seller, if an individual, is present in Israel for less than
183 days during the taxable year; and (iii) the capital gain from the sale was not derived through a permanent establishment of
the U.S. resident in Israel.



Upon the sale of securities, the purchaser,
the Israeli stockbroker or the Israeli financial institution through which the shares are held is obligated, subject to the above
exemptions, to withhold tax from the Real Gain at the rate of 25% or 23% in respect of an individual or corporation, respectively.



Upon the sale of securities traded on a
stock exchange, a detailed return, including a computation of the tax due, must be filed and an advance payment must be made on
January 31 and July 31 of every tax year, in respect of sales of securities made within the previous six months by Israeli residents
for whom tax has not already been deducted. However, if all tax due was withheld at source according to applicable provisions of
the Tax Ordinance and the regulations promulgated thereunder, there is no need to file a return and no advance payment must be
paid. Capital gains are also reportable on the annual income tax return.



Dividends



We have never paid cash dividends. A shareholder
who is an Israeli resident individual generally will be subject to income tax at a rate of 25% on dividends we pay. However, a
30% tax rate will apply if the dividend recipient is a Substantial Shareholder, as defined above, at the time of distribution or
at any time during the preceding 12-month period. If the dividend is paid from our income that was entitled to a reduced tax rate
applicable to a Benefited or Privileged Enterprise under the Encouragement Law, the tax rate is 20% for dividends distributed from
profits derived after January 1, 2014. If the recipient of the dividend is an Israeli resident corporation, such dividend generally
will be exempt from Israeli income tax, provided that the source of the dividend is income that was derived or accrued within Israel.



Dividends distributed by an Israeli resident
company to a non-resident of Israel (either individual or corporation) are generally subject to tax at the rate of 25% (30% if
the dividend recipient is a Substantial Shareholder at the time of distribution or at any time during the preceding 12-month period).
These rates may be reduced under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the following tax
rates will apply in respect of dividends distributed by an Israeli resident company to a U.S. resident: (i) if, during that portion
of the taxable year which precedes the payment of the dividend and during the whole of its prior taxable year (if any), the U.S.
resident is a corporation that holds at least 10% of the outstanding voting shares of the Israeli corporation and not more than
25% of the gross income of the Israeli corporation for such prior taxable year (if any) consists of certain types of interest or
dividends, the tax rate is 12.5%; (ii) if both the conditions mentioned in section (i) above are met and the dividend is paid from
an Israeli resident company’s income that was entitled to a reduced tax rate applicable to a Benefited or Privileged Enterprise
under the Encouragement Law, the tax rate is 15%; and (iii) in all other cases, the tax rate is 25%. The reduced rates under the
U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty will not apply if the dividend income is attributable to a permanent establishment of the U.S. treaty resident
in Israel.



86







We are obligated to withhold tax upon the
distribution of dividends.



A non-resident of Israel who receives dividends
from which Israeli tax was withheld is generally exempt from the obligation to file tax returns in Israel with respect to such
income, provided that (i) such income was not generated from business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, and (ii) the taxpayer
has no other taxable sources of income in Israel with respect to which a tax return is required to be filed.



Foreign exchange regulations



Non-residents of Israel who hold our ordinary
shares or ADSs are able to receive any dividends, and any amounts payable upon the dissolution, liquidation and winding up of our
affairs, in non-Israeli currency at the prevailing rate of exchange. However, Israeli income tax is generally required to have
been paid or withheld on these amounts. In addition, the statutory framework for the potential imposition of currency exchange
control has not been eliminated, and these controls may be restored at any time by administrative action.



Estate and gift tax



Israeli law presently does not impose estate
or gift taxes.



U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences



The following is a description of the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares. This description addresses
only the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that are initial purchasers of our shares pursuant
to the offering and that will hold such shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This description does not
address tax considerations applicable to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:



| | • | banks, certain financial institutions or insurance companies;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies or grantor trusts;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | tax-exempt entities or organizations;
| | - | -------------------------------------



| | • | certain former citizens or residents of the United States;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------



| | • | persons that received our shares as compensation for the performance of services;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | persons that will hold our shares as part of a “hedging,” “integrated” or “conversion”
transaction or as a position in a “straddle” for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | partnerships (including entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entities,
or holders that will hold our shares through such an entity;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | S corporations;
| | - | ---------------



| | • | U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power or value of our shares; or
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | persons holding our shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside the United States.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



87







Moreover, this description does not address
the U.S. federal estate, gift, or alternative minimum tax consequences, Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, or
any U.S. state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares.



Subject to the discussion below under “—Country
of Tax Residence,” this description assumes that we are not treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.



This description is based on the Code, existing,
proposed and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof,
in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. All the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively
and could affect the tax consequences described below. There can be no assurances that the IRS will not take a different position
concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares or that such a position would not be
sustained. Holders should consult their own tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences
of acquiring, owning and disposing of our shares in their particular circumstances.



For purposes of this description, the term
 “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (i) a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created
or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income
of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (1) with respect to which a court within
the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority
to control all of its substantial decisions or (2) that has elected to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax
purposes.



If a partnership (or any other entity treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an
investment in our shares will depend in part upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner
or partnership should consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing
of our shares in its particular circumstances.



We believe we were a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes in 2017 and 2018 and, based on estimates of our gross income and gross assets, our intended use of the proceeds
from our February 2019 initial public offering, and the nature of our business, we believe that we will be a PFIC in 2019. See
 “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences” below.



Persons considering an investment in our
shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of our shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax
laws.



Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on
Our Shares



Subject to the discussion below under “Passive
foreign investment company consequences,” if you are a U.S. Holder, the gross amount of any distribution made to you with
respect to our shares before reduction for any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, other than certain distributions, if any, of our
shares distributed pro rata to all our shareholders, will generally be includible in your income as dividend income to the extent
such distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.
Dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders may qualify for the lower rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains
(i.e., gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year), provided that certain conditions are met, including
certain holding period requirements and the absence of certain risk reduction transactions. However, such lower rate of taxation
shall not apply if our company is a PFIC for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend, or was a PFIC for the preceding taxable
year. Additionally, our dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to corporate U.S.
Holders. To the extent that the amount of any distribution by us exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined
under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of adjusted tax basis in our shares and
thereafter as either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. Holder has held our shares for more than
one year as of the time such distribution is received. We do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under
U.S. federal income tax principles and, therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that the entire amount of any distribution generally
will be reported as dividend income.



88







Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder with respect
to our shares will generally be foreign source income for foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to certain conditions and limitations,
Israeli tax withheld on dividends may be deducted from your taxable income or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability.
An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the
taxable year. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of
income. For this purpose, dividends generally constitute “passive category income,” or, in the case of certain U.S.
Holders, “general category income.” A foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on distributions may be denied if
you do not satisfy certain minimum holding period requirements. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit
are complex, and you should consult your tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent you will be entitled to this credit.



The amount of a distribution paid to a U.S.
Holder in a foreign currency will be the dollar value of the foreign currency calculated by reference to the spot exchange rate
on the day the U.S. Holder receives the distribution, regardless of whether the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars
at that time. Any foreign currency gain or loss a U.S. Holder realizes on a subsequent conversion of foreign currency into U.S.
dollars should generally be income or loss. If dividends received in foreign currency are converted into U.S. dollars on the day
they are received, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the
dividend.



Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Shares



Subject to the discussion below under “—
Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences,” if you are a U.S. Holder, you will generally recognize gain or loss on
the sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange
or other disposition and your adjusted tax basis in our shares, and such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. The adjusted
tax basis in our shares will generally be equal to the cost of such share. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, capital gain
from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares is generally eligible for a preferential rate of taxation applicable to
capital gains, if your holding period determined at the time of such sale, exchange or other disposition for such shares exceeds
one year (i.e., such gain is long-term capital gain). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain
or loss will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.



Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences



If we were to be classified as a PFIC in
any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the
deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. company that does not distribute
all of its earnings on a current basis.



A non-U.S. corporation will be classified
as a PFIC for federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect
to the income and assets of subsidiaries, either:



| | • | at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income”; or
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------



| | • | at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its total gross assets (which may be determined in part by the market value
of our shares, which is subject to change) is attributable to assets that produce “passive income” or are held for
the production of passive income.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Passive income for this purpose generally
includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, gains from commodities and securities transactions, the excess of gains over losses
from the disposition of assets which produce passive income, and includes amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment
of funds raised in offerings of our shares. If a non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation,
the non-U.S. corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other
corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. If we are classified as
a PFIC in any year with respect to which a U.S. Holder owns our shares, we will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with
respect to such U.S. Holder in all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder owns our shares, regardless of whether we continue
to meet the tests described above.



89







We believe that we were a PFIC in 2017 and
2018 and, based on estimates of our gross income and gross assets, our intended use of the proceeds of from our February 2019 initial
public offering, and the nature of our business, we believe that we will be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ending December
31, 2019. Because PFIC status is based on our income, assets and activities for the entire taxable year, it is not possible to
determine with certainty whether we will be characterized as a PFIC for the 2019 taxable year until after the close of the year.
Moreover, we must determine our PFIC status annually based on tests which are factual in nature, and our status in future years
will depend on our income, assets and activities in those years. In addition, our status as a PFIC may depend on how quickly we
utilize the cash proceeds from our February 2019 initial public offering in our business.



U.S. Holders should be aware of certain
tax consequences of investing directly or indirectly in us in any year in which we are a PFIC. A U.S. Holder is subject to different
rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our shares (if such election
is available).



We do not intend to provide information
necessary for U.S. holders to make qualified electing fund elections, known as a QEF election, which, if available, would result
in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs described below.



Mark-to-market election. If our shares
are treated as “marketable stock,” a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with
respect to our shares, provided the U.S. Holder completes the relevant portions of and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the
instructions thereto. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year
the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares at the end of the taxable year over such holder’s adjusted tax
basis in the shares. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s
adjusted tax basis in the shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net
amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the shares
would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares
would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the shares would be treated
as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included in income by the
U.S. Holder, and any loss in excess of such amount will be treated as capital loss. Amounts treated as ordinary income will not
be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains.



Generally, our shares will be considered
marketable stock if they are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange” within the meaning of applicable
Treasury Regulations. Our shares will be treated as “regularly traded” in any calendar year in which more than a de
minimis quantity of the shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. The Nasdaq
Capital Market is a qualified exchange for this purpose. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs
that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the tax and interest charge rules discussed above with respect to
such holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, including stock in any of our company’s subsidiaries that are treated as PFICs. If a U.S. Holder makes
a mark-to market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable
years unless our shares are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.



Default PFIC rules. A U.S. Holder
who does not make a timely mark-to-market election (or, if available, a timely qualified electing fund election), referred to in
this disclosure as a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder,” will be subject to special rules with respect to (a) any “excess
distribution” (generally, the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing U.S. Holder on the shares in a taxable
year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing U.S. Holder in the three preceding taxable
years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for his shares), and (b) any gain realized on the sale
or other disposition of such shares. Under these rules:



90







| | • | the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the
Shares;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any year prior to us becoming a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income;
and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the
applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect
to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If a Non-Electing U.S. Holder who is an
individual dies while owning our shares, the Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s successor would be ineligible to receive a step-up
in tax basis of the shares. Non-Electing U .S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of
the PFIC rules to their specific situation.



To the extent a distribution on our shares
does not constitute an excess distribution to a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, such Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally will be required
to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and
profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that are not allocated to excess distributions. The tax consequences
of such distributions are discussed above under “Taxation and Government Programs — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
 — Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Shares.” Each U.S. Holder is encouraged to consult its own tax
advisor with respect to the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of any distribution on our shares.



In any year in which are a PFIC, the general
tax treatment for U.S. Holders described in this section would apply to indirect distributions and gains deemed to be realized
by U.S. Holders in respect of any of our subsidiaries that also may be determined to be PFICs.



The U.S. federal income tax rules relating
to PFICs are complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition
of our shares, any elections available with respect to such shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to
the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares.



Certain Reporting Requirements



Certain U.S. Holders may be required to
file IRS Form 926, Return by U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation, and IRS Form 5471, Information Return of U.S.
Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, reporting transfers of cash or other property to us and information relating
to the U.S. Holder and us. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon a U.S. Holder that fails to comply. Each U.S. Holder should
consult its own tax advisor regarding these requirements.



Furthermore, certain U.S. Holders owning
 “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50 thousand (and in some circumstances,
a higher threshold) may be required to file IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with respect to such
assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” generally include any financial accounts maintained
by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial
institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, which may include our shares, (ii) financial instruments and
contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities. The IRS has
issued guidance exempting “specified foreign financial assets” held in a financial account from reporting under this
provision (although the financial account itself, if maintained by a foreign financial institution, may remain subject to this
reporting requirement). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these requirements to
their ownership of our shares.



91







If a U.S. Holder owns shares during any
year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will generally be required to file an IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder
of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) with respect to our company, generally with the U.S. Holder’s
federal income tax return for that year.



Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting
Requirements



U.S. backup withholding tax and information
reporting requirements may apply to certain payments to certain holders of our shares. Information reporting will generally apply
to payments of dividends on, and to proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of, our shares made within the United
States, or by a U.S. payer or U.S. middleman, to a holder of our shares, other than an exempt recipient (including a payee that
is not a U.S. person that provides an appropriate certification and certain other persons). A payer may be required to withhold
backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of, shares
within the United States, or by a U.S. payer or U.S. middleman, to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such holder fails
to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup
withholding tax requirements. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the beneficial
owner’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may
be refunded, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.



Country of Tax Residence



For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a
corporation generally is considered tax resident in the place of its incorporation. We are incorporated under the laws of the State
of Israel and, therefore, we should be a non-U.S. corporation under this general rule. However, Section 7874 of the Code, contains
rules that may result in a foreign corporation being treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The application
of these rules is complex and there is little guidance regarding certain aspects of their application.



Under Section 7874 of the Code, a corporation
created or organized outside the United States will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes when (i) the
foreign corporation directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation,
(ii) the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% of the vote or value of the shares of the foreign
acquiring corporation by reason of holding stock in the U.S. acquired corporation, and (iii) the foreign corporation’s “expanded
affiliated group” does not have “substantial business activities” in the foreign corporation’s country
of incorporation relative to its expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities. For this purpose, “expanded affiliated
group” generally means the foreign corporation and all subsidiaries in which the foreign corporation, directly or indirectly,
owns more than 50% of the stock by vote and value, and “substantial business activities” generally means at least 25%
of employees (by number and compensation), assets and gross income of our expanded affiliated group are based, located and derived,
respectively, in the country of incorporation.



We do not believe that we should be treated
as a U.S. corporation as a result of the Reincorporation under Section 7874 of the Code because we believe that we have substantial
business activities in Israel. However, the IRS may disagree with our conclusion on this point. In addition, there could be legislative
proposals to expand the scope of U.S. corporate tax residence and there could be changes to Section 7874 of the Code or the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder that could result in us being treated as a U.S. corporation.



If it were determined that we should be
treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could be liable for substantial additional U.S. federal
income tax on our taxable income since the Reincorporation.



THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY.
IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT
ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

D. American Depositary Shares



The Bank of New York Mellon is the depositary
of the ADSs. Each ADS represents five ordinary shares (or a right to receive five ordinary shares) deposited with Bank Leumi or
Bank Hapoalim, as custodian for the depositary in Israel. Each ADS will also represent any other securities, cash or other property
which may be held by the depositary. The depositary’s office at which the ADSs are administered and its principal executive
office are located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286.



A deposit agreement among us, the depositary,
ADS holders and all other persons indirectly or beneficially holding ADSs sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and
obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and the ADSs. A copy of the deposit agreement has been
filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our current report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2019 and is incorporated by reference
herein.



Fees and Expenses



Pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement,
the holders of the ADSs will be required to pay the following fees:

The depositary collects its fees for delivery
and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing ordinary shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or
from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees
from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its
annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry
system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may collect any of its fees by deduction from any cash distribution
payable (or by selling a portion of securities or other property distributable) to ADS holders that are obligated to pay those
fees. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.



From time to time, the depositary may make
payments to us to reimburse us for costs and expenses generally arising out of establishment and maintenance of the ADS program,
waive fees and expenses for services provided to us by the depositary or share revenue from the fees collected from ADS holders.
In performing its duties under the deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers, foreign currency or other service
providers that are owned by or affiliated with the depositary and that may earn or share fees, spreads or commissions.



The depositary may convert foreign currency
itself or through any of its affiliates and, in those cases, acts as principal for its own account and not as an agent, fiduciary
or broker on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, fees and spreads that it will retain
for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency
conversion made under the deposit agreement and the rate that the depositary or its affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign
currency for its own account. The depositary makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained in any currency conversion
under the deposit agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or that the method by which that
rate will be determined will be most favorable to ADS holders, subject to its obligations under the deposit agreement. The methodology
used to determine exchange rates used in currency conversions is available upon request.

Initial Public Offering



In February 2019, we sold 2,652,174
ADSs, each representing five ordinary shares, no par value, in our initial public offering at a public offering price of
$11.50 per ADS, for aggregate gross proceeds of $30.5 million. The net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions totaling approximately $2.1 million and offering expenses totaling approximately $1.6 million, was
approximately $26.8 million. The effective date of the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-229155) for our
initial public offering of ADSs was February 11, 2019. The offering priced on February 12, 2019 and closed on February 14,
2019. Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. acted as the sole book-running manager of the offering and as representative of
the underwriters.



95







The net proceeds from our
initial public offering are held in cash and cash equivalents and we expect it will meet our capital requirements until the
second quarter of 2020. Specifically, we intend to use approximately 75% of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to
advance our Phase 2 program for our lead product candidate, inodiftagene. None of the net proceeds of our initial
public offering were paid directly or indirectly to any director, officer, general partner of ours or to their associates,
persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities, or to any of our affiliates.



| | ITEM 15. | Controls
                                         And Procedures
| | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------



We have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the material financial and non-financial information
required to be disclosed to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely. Based on our evaluation, our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all
failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our reports.



This Annual Report on Form 20-F does not
include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report
of the company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public
companies.



Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under
the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.



There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F that have materially affected,
or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our board of directors has determined that
all members of our audit committee are financially literate as determined in accordance with Nasdaq rules and that Mr. Dennison
Veru and Ms. Efrat Makov are qualified to serve as “audit committee financial experts” as defined by SEC rules.

                                         Of Ethics

We have adopted an Unethical Conduct Reporting
Procedure (the “Code of Conduct”) that is applicable to all of the directors, executives, employees and independent
contractors of the Company. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.anchiano.com. The audit committee
of our board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Code of Conduct and must approve any waivers of the Code of Conduct
for directors, executives, employees and independent contractors. We expect that any amendments to the Code of Conduct will be
disclosed on our website.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures



Consistent with SEC policies and guidelines
regarding audit independence, the audit committee is responsible for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services
provided by our principal independent accountants on a case-by-case basis. During fiscal year 2018, all services provided by Somekh
Chaikin were pre-approved by our audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Somekh Chaikin was compatible
with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. On November 30, 2009, our audit
committee adopted a pre-approval policy for services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Under that
adopted pre-approval policy, our audit committee provides general pre-approval for the provision by the independent registered
public accounting firm of services that fall within specified categories (such as statutory audits or financial audit work for
subsidiaries, services associated with SEC registration statements and consultations by management as to accounting interpretations)
but only up to specified dollar amounts. Any services that exceed the pre-approved dollar limits (subject to de minimis
exceptions permitted under applicable rules), or any services that fall outside of the general pre-approved categories, require
specific pre-approval by the audit committee. If our audit committee delegates pre-approval authority to one or more of its members,
the member would be required to report any pre-approval decisions to our audit committee at its next meeting. All of the audit,
audit-related and tax fees incurred with respect to the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2018 were approved pursuant to our pre-approval
policy.

Governance



Nasdaq Listing Rules and Home Country Practices



The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as related
rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, requires foreign private issuers, such as us, to comply with various corporate governance
practices. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain Israeli corporate governance practices instead of the
Nasdaq rules, provided that we disclose which requirements we are not following and the equivalent Israeli requirements. Pursuant
to the “foreign private issuer exemption”:



| | • | the quorum for a meeting of shareholders is at least two shareholders present in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument,
who hold in the aggregate at least 25% of our issued share capital (and in an adjourned meeting, with some exceptions, any number
of shareholders) instead of 33 1⁄3% of our issued share capital as required under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | we may adopt equity incentive plans and approve material changes to such plans without shareholder approval; in addition, we
intend to follow Israeli corporate governance practice in lieu of Nasdaq Rule 5635 (c), which requires shareholder approval prior
to an issuance of securities in connection with equity-based compensation to officers, directors, employees or consultants;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | as opposed to making periodic reports to shareholders and proxy solicitation materials available to shareholders in a manner
specified by the SEC and Nasdaq rules, the generally accepted practice in Israel is not to distribute such reports to shareholders
but to make such reports available through a public website. We will mail such reports to shareholders only upon request; and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | • | we will follow Israeli corporate governance practice instead of the Nasdaq requirements to obtain shareholder approval for
certain dilutive events (such as issuances that will result in a change of control, certain transactions other than a public offering
involving issuances of a 20% or greater interest in us and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company). According
to the Companies Law, the management of our business is vested in our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may exercise all
powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to our shareholders. Our executive officers are responsible for
our day-to-day management and have individual responsibilities established by our Board of Directors. Executive officers are appointed
by and serve at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to any applicable employment agreements we have entered into
with the executive officers.

In all other respects, we comply with the
rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the Nasdaq. We may in the future decide to use the foreign private
issuer exemption with respect to some or all of the other Nasdaq rules. If at any time we cease to be a foreign private issuer
under the rules of Nasdaq and the Exchange Act, as applicable, our board of directors will take all action necessary to comply
with the corporate governance rules applicable to domestic U.S. issuers, subject to a permitted “phase-in” period.
We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S.
residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S.
citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States or (iii) our business is administered
principally in the United States.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors



ANCHIANO THERAPEUTICS LTD.



Opinion on the Consolidated
Financial Statements



We have audited the accompanying consolidated
statements of financial position of Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,
the related consolidated statements of operations, operations and other comprehensive loss, change in equity (deficiency), and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated
financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board.



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 incurred recurring losses from operations that, together with other matters described in the aforesaid
note, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these issues are also
described in Note 1B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.



Basis for Opinion



These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.



We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.



|Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2018
|----------------------------------------------------------------------



NOTE 1 – GENERAL



| | A. | The Company is incorporated and registered in Israel. In August 2018, the Company changed its name
to Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”) formerly BioCancell Ltd. The official address of the Company is 1/3 High
Tech-Village, Edmond J. Safra Campus, Givat Ram, Jerusalem. The Company began trading American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”),
each representing five ordinary shares, no par value of the Company (the “ordinary shares”), on the Nasdaq Capital
Market in Febuary 2019, while its ordinary shares have traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since 2006.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company wholly owns a subsidiary,
Anchiano Therapeutics Israel Ltd. (formerly BioCanCell Therapeutics Israel Ltd.), which itself wholly owns a Delaware-incorporated
subsidiary, Anchiano Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly BioCanCell USA, Inc.) for the purposes of operating in the United States. This
subsidiary is subject to the tax laws of the State of Delaware.



On February 14, 2019, the Company
closed an initial public offering of 2,652,174 ADSs, each representing five ordinary shares of the Company (in total, 13,260,870
ordinary shares), at $11.50 per ADS, resulting in gross proceeds of $30.5 million. The ADSs trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market
under the symbol “ANCN.” The underwriters in the offering (Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Ladenburg Thalmann & Co.
Inc. and LifeSci Capital LLC) were granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 397,826 ADSs offered by the Company
to cover over-allotments, if any. Pursuant to price protection rights granted to private investors in 2018 and activated in the
offering, the Company allocated an additional 8,262,800 ordinary shares (equivalent to 1,652,560 ADSs) to rights holders and adjusted
their warrants to be exercisable for an additional 6,207,330 ordinary shares (equivalent to 1,241,466 ADSs).



| | B. | Reporting entity
| | -- | ----------------



| | (1) | The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2018 include those of the
Company, Anchiano Therapeutics Israel Ltd. and Anchiano Therapeutics, Inc., which are wholly owned by the Company (collectively,
the “Group”).
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | The Group is involved in research and development of drugs for treatment of cancer. The Group’s
products are in the research and development stage, and therefore there is no certainty regarding the Group’s ability to
complete product development, obtain regulatory approvals and achieve marketing success. The Company has incurred recurring losses
from operations. Continuation of the development stages related to the planned activities depend on future events, including raising
additional capital and achieving operating profits in the future. The Group is taking steps to raise the capital required for the
continuation of its operations (including an initial public offering resulting in gross proceeds of $30.5 million on February 14,
2019, see Note 1A. However, as at the reporting date, there is substantial doubt as to the Group’s ability to continue operating
as a going concern. As of the approval date hereof and based on the Group’s assessments, the Group’s financial resources
are expected to suffice until the end of the second quarter of 2020. The financial statements do not include any measurement or
presentation adjustment for assets and liabilities that would be required if the Group does not continue operating as a going concern.

Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.



|Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2018
|----------------------------------------------------------------------



NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION



| | A. | Statement of compliance
| | -- | -----------------------



The consolidated financial statements
of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board.



The consolidated financial statements
were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 11, 2019.



| | B. | Functional and presentation currency
| | -- | ------------------------------------



The New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”)
is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Group operates and is thus its functional currency.
However, for financial reporting purposes, these financial statements, which are prepared using the functional currency for all
amounts, including historical amounts, reflected in the Company’s financial statements, have been translated into a different
presentation currency, the U.S. dollar. In preparation for its Nasdaq IPO, the Company intended ceased using the NIS and began
using the U.S. dollar as its presentation currency to facilitate U.S. investors’ understanding of the Company’s financial
statements. The assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date; Income and expenses are
translated at average exchange rates and shareholders’ equity is translated based on historical exchange rates. Translation
adjustments are not included in determining net loss but are included in foreign exchange translation adjustments to other comprehensive
loss, a component of shareholders’ equity (deficiency).



| | C. | Basis of measurement
| | -- | --------------------



The financial statements have been
prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities: share-based payment and assets and liabilities
for employee benefits.



| | D. | Operating cycle
| | -- | ---------------



The regular operating cycle of the
Company is one year. As a result, current assets and current liabilities also include items the realization of which is intended
to take place within the period of the Company's regular operating cycle.



| | E. | Classification of expenses recognized in the statement
of operations
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------



The classification of expenses recognized
in the statement of operations is based on the nature of the expense. Additional information regarding the nature of the expense
is included in the notes to the financial statements.



| | F. | Use of estimates and judgments
| | -- | ------------------------------



The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.



The use of accounting estimates
in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management of the Company to make assumptions regarding circumstances
and events that involve considerable uncertainty. Management of the Company prepares the estimates on the basis of past experience,
various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances of each estimate.



Estimates and underlying assumptions
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised
and in any future periods affected.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT.)



| | G. | Determination of fair value
| | -- | ---------------------------



Preparation of the financial statements
requires the Group to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities.



Note 9D (Share-Based Payment) and
Note 10G (Financial Instruments—Derivatives) include further information about the assumptions that were used to determine
fair value.



When determining the fair value
of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data as much as possible. There are three levels of fair value measurements
in the fair value hierarchy that are based on the data used in the measurement, as follows:



| | • | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | • | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | • | Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market
data (unobservable inputs).
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | H. | Changes
in accounting policies
| | -- | ------------------------------



Initial application of new standards IFRS 9
(2014), Financial Instrument



As of January 1, 2018, the Group
applies IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ( “IFRS 9”), which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
(“IAS 39”). Furthermore, as from that date, the Group applies the amendment to IFRS 9.



Additionally, following the application
of IFRS 9, the Group has adopted consequential amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and to IAS 1, Presentation
of Financial Statements.



The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have
a material effect on these financial statements.



NOTE
3– Significant Accounting Policies



The accounting policies set out
below have been applied consistently by the Group for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.



| | A. | Basis of consolidation
| | -- | ----------------------



A subsidiary is an entity controlled
by the Company. The financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date
of obtaining control. The accounting policies of the subsidiary are aligned with the policies adopted by the Group.



Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and any unrealized
income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.



| | B. | Foreign currency
| | -- | ----------------



Transactions in foreign currencies
are translated to the functional currency of the Group at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the
exchange rate at that date. Gains and losses from exchange rate differences are recognized in the statement of operations.

| | C. | Financial instruments
| | -- | ---------------------



| | (1) | Non-derivative financial assets
| | --- | -------------------------------



Non-derivative financial assets
include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized
initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.



A financial asset is recognized
when the Group accepts the contractual conditions of the instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the Group’s contractual
rights to receive the cash flows deriving from the financial asset expire, or the Group transfers the financial asset to others
without retaining control of the asset or transfers all the risks and rewards deriving from the asset. Regular way purchases and
sales of financial assets are recognized on the date of the transaction, meaning on the date the Group undertook to purchase or
sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation of the Group, as specified in the agreement, expires
or when it is discharged or cancelled.



Receivables



Receivables are non-derivative
financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition,
receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, taking into account transaction costs, less impairment
losses.



Cash and cash equivalents



Cash comprises cash balances available
for immediate use and call deposits. Cash equivalents comprise short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are exposed to insignificant risks of change
in value.



Non-derivative
financial liabilities



Non-derivative
financial liabilities include trade and other payables.



| | (2) | Share capital
| | --- | -------------



Ordinary shares are classified
as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.



Incremental costs directly attributable
to an expected issuance of an instrument that will be classified as an equity instrument are recognized as an asset (deferred issuance
expenses) in the statement of financial position under receivables.



The costs are deducted from equity
upon the initial recognition of the equity instruments.



In cases where the issuance is
no longer likely to take place, the costs are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.



| | (3) | Derivative financial instruments
| | --- | --------------------------------



Measurement of derivative financial
instruments



Derivatives are recognized initially
at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition,
derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below:

| | -- | -----------------------------



| | (3) | Derivative financial instruments (cont.)
| | --- | ----------------------------------------



Measurement of derivative financial
instruments (cont.)



The changes in fair value of these
derivatives are recognized in profit or loss, as financing income or expense.



Issuance of parcel of securities



The consideration received from
the issuance of a parcel of securities is attributed initially to financial liabilities that are measured each period at fair value
through profit or loss. The remaining amount is the value of the equity component.



Direct
issuance costs are attributed to the specific securities in respect of which they were incurred, whereas joint issuance costs are
attributed to the securities on a proportionate basis according to the allocation of the consideration from the issuance of the
parcel, as described above.



| | D. | Fixed assets – Recognition and Measurement
| | -- | ------------------------------------------



Fixed asset items are measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs includes expenditures that are directly attributable
to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful
life.

Note

| | E. | Research and development
| | -- | ------------------------



Research activities involve activities
undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding. Expenditures from research activities
are recognized in the statement of operations as profit or loss when incurred.



Development activities involve a
plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Expenditures from development activities
are recognized as an intangible asset only if the costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially
feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group has the intention and sufficient resources to complete research
and development and to use or sell the asset.



None of the Company's expenditures
meet the above conditions for development activities, and therefore are recognized in the statement of operations as profit or
loss as incurred.



| | F. | Impairment
| | -- | ----------



Non-financial assets



The carrying amounts of the Group’s
non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.



The recoverable amount of an asset
or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use,
the Group discounts the future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, the assets are grouped together into the smallest
group of assets that generates cash from continuing use that are largely independent of other assets or groups of assets (the “Cash-Generating
Unit”).



An impairment loss is recognized
if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized
in profit or loss.



Impairment losses recognized in
prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed
only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Note
3 - Significant Accounting Policies (CONT.)



| | G. | Employee benefits
| | -- | -----------------



The Group has a number of post-employment
benefit plans as described below:



| | (1) | Employee benefit plans
| | --- | ----------------------



For employee benefits prior to
April 1, 2014, the Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is presented at its
present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on high-quality
linked corporate debentures that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated
in dollars. The calculations are performed by an actuary.



Re-measurements of the net defined
benefit liability (asset) comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on the plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect
of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest). Re-measurements are recognized immediately directly in retained earnings through
other comprehensive income. The liability for a benefit accumulated until the date of change of this plan is $175 thousand, and
is presented net of the fair value of plan assets in the amount of $209 thousand.



On April 1, 2014, the Company entered
into an agreement with Israeli employees whereby as from that date they are eligible for severance pay under Section 14 of the
Severance Pay Law, 1963, and therefore as from that date, the plan is classified as a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution
plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or
constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an
expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.



| | (2) | Short-term benefits
| | --- | -------------------



Short-term employee benefit obligations
are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided or upon the actual absence of the employee
when the benefit is not accumulated (such as maternity leave).



The employee benefits are classified
as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.



A liability is recognized for the
amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.



| | (3) | Termination benefits
| | --- | --------------------



Termination benefits are recognized
as an expense when the Group is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan
to terminate employment.



| | (4) | Share-based payment transactions
| | --- | --------------------------------



The fair value at grant date of
share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as a salary expense, with a corresponding increase in equity over
the period that the employees become eligible for the awards. The amount recognized as an expense that is conditional upon meeting
service conditions is adjusted to reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting
conditions or with market performance vesting conditions, the fair value at grant date of the share-based payment awards is measured
to reflect such conditions, and therefore the Group recognizes an expense in respect of the awards whether or not the conditions
have been met.

| | H. | Provisions
| | -- | ----------



A provision is recognized if, as
a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable
that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.



Legal claims



A provision for claims is recognized
if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation and it is more likely than not that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
When the value of time is material, the provision is measured at its present value.



Commitments to pay royalties



The Group does not recognize commitments
to pay royalties until the event underlying the commitment occurs.



| | I. | Grants for participation in research and development
expenses
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------



Grants are recognized initially
at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated
with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are presented as a deduction from the corresponding expense.



Grants from the Israel
Innovation Authority (“IIA”) in respect of research and development projects are accounted for as forgivable
loans according to IAS 20. Grants received from the IIA are recognized as a liability according to their fair value on the
date of their receipt, unless on that date it is reasonably certain that the amount received will not be refunded. The amount
of the liability is reexamined each period, and any changes in the present value of the cash flows discounted at the original
interest rate of the grant are recognized in profit or loss. The Group operates in the biotechnology industry and there is
significant uncertainty (due to the preliminary stage it is in and the substantial financing that is required) regarding the
success of the products under development and the return of the grant. Additionally, there is no requirement under the IIA
grants to transfer the intellectual property underlying the research and development projects funded by the grants if the
Group abandons the research and development or otherwise cannot generate product or licensing revenues from such research and
development.



The Group believes that as at the
reporting date, the conditions for recognition of a liability have not been met. Accordingly, the Group did not record a liability
in respect of the IIA grants.



| | J. | Leases
| | -- | ------



The Group’s leases are classified
as operating leases and the leased assets are not recognized in the Group’s statement of financial position. Payments made
under operating leases are recognized in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (see Note
3N (Significant Accounting Policies—New standards and interpretations not yet adopted)).



| | K. | Financing income and expenses
| | -- | -----------------------------



The Group’s financing income
comprises changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, interest income on funds invested and exchange rate differences.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized through profit or loss. Interest income is recognized
as it accrues, using the effective interest method.



The Group’s financing expenses
include issuance costs of derivative financial instruments, and bank and other commissions. Borrowing costs are recognized in
the statement of operations using the effective interest method. Issuance costs for derivative financial instruments are recognized
through profit or loss.



In the statements of cash flows,
interest received and interest paid are presented as cash flows from operating activities.



Foreign currency gains and losses are
reported on a net basis as either financing income or financing expenses depending on foreign currency fluctuations.

| | L. | Loss per share
| | -- | --------------



The Group presents basic and diluted
loss per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic loss per share is also the diluted loss calculated by dividing the loss attributable
to holders of ordinary shares of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.



| | M. | Income tax expenses
| | -- | -------------------



Current taxes



Current tax is the expected tax
payable (or receivable) on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.



Deferred taxes



Deferred tax is recognized in respect
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for taxation purposes.



A deferred tax asset is recognized
for unused tax losses, tax benefits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.



Offset of current tax assets
and liabilities



Current tax assets and liabilities
are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and there is intent to settle
current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or the tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.



| | N. | New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------



IFRS 16, Leases



IFRS 16, Leases ( “IFRS 16”)
replaces IAS 17, Leases and the interpretations related to that standard. The provisions of IFRS 16 eliminates the current requirement
for lessees to classify leases as operational or financial. Instead, the new standard introduces a single model for the accounting
of leases by lessees, whereby the lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and liability for the lease in its financial statements.
IFRS 16 includes two exceptions to the general model, whereby a lessee can elect not to implement the recognition requirements
of the right-of-use asset and liability with respect to short-term leases of up to one year and/or leases where the underlying
asset has a low value.



IFRS 16 applies for annual periods
commencing January 1, 2019. The standard includes various approaches for implementation: full retrospective application with a
restatement of comparative information or modified retrospective application with the cumulative impact of the initial application
of IFRS 16 adjusting the opening balance of the retained earnings at that date.

| | N. | New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (cont.)
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------



The Group intends to apply IFRS
16 starting from January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, while adjusting the accumulated loss as of January 1,
2019.



The Group intends to elect to apply
the transitional provisions whereby on the date of initial application it will recognize a lease liability at the present value
of the balance of the future lease payments discounted at the incremental interest rate of the lease as at that date and at the
same time it will recognize in the same amount as a liability, a right of use asset in the lease, adjusted for lease payments made
in advance or that were accrued and that were recognized as an asset or liability prior to the initial application. As a result,
the application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have an impact on the balance of retained earnings (deficit) as of the initial application.



In respect of leases in which the
Group is the lessee and that were classified at the time of the initial application as an operating lease, except for cases where
the Group elected to apply the expedients of IFRS 16, as stated, the Group is required to recognize on the date of initial application
a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in respect of all leases for which it has the right to control the use of the identified
assets for a defined time period. These changes, as stated, are expected to lead to an increase of about $1.7 million in the balance
of right-of-use assets and an increase of about $1.7 million in the balance of the lease liabilities. Additionally, depreciation
and amortization expenses will be recognized for the right-of-use assets, which will be evaluated for impairments in accordance
with the provisions of IAS 36. In addition, financing expenses will be recognized for the lease liabilities. Therefore, from the
date of initial application of IFRS 16, rent expenses related to operating leases, which were presented in the general and administrative
expenses and research and development expenses in the statement of operations, will be capitalized as assets and expensed as part
of depreciation expenses in successive periods.

NOTE 7 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND
COMMITMENTS



| | A. | Liability for royalty payments to the Israel Innovation
Authority
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------



The Group has financed part of its
research and development activities with grants from the IIA. In return for the IIA grants, the Group will be required to pay royalties
of between 3% and 5% from the revenue from sales of the product developed using the IIA grants, up to the full amount of the grant,
linked to the dollar/NIS exchange rate plus an agreed rate of interest. No new grant applications have been submitted to the IIA
since 2013.



As at December 31, 2018, the Group’s
maximum liability for repayment of the royalties is estimated at $4.0 million. The transfer outside of Israel of all or part of
the production of the product developed using the IIA grants requires higher payments of royalties of up to 200% of the total liability.
The Group has yet to start paying royalties. The financial statements do not include a liability for royalties for these grants
since the conditions for recognition of the liability have not been fulfilled (see also Note 3I (Significant Accounting Policies—Grants
for participation in research and development expenses) above).



| | B. | Royalties agreement
| | -- | -------------------



The research and development activities
of the Group are based on an exclusive license granted to the Group to use patent-protected technology and/or applications for
the registration of patents developed by the Group.



The rights to these patents originally
belonged to Yissum Technology Transfer, the research development company of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (hereinafter , “Yissum”).
Under the 2005 license agreement between Yissum and the Group, as amended (the “License Agreement"), Yissum granted
an exclusive license to the Group for the global development, use, manufacture and commercialization of products that are based
on the patents. In return, the Group undertook to pay royalties to Yissum at the following rates:



| | (1) | 4% of sales net of distribution costs; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------

| | (2) | 10% of the total consideration received by the Group from
any third party obtaining a sub-license to use the Group’s technologies.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The rate of royalties from sales
in countries where a patent has not been registered, in which a third party sells identical products, will be reduced by 50%.



The Group does not recognize a
liability for royalties until the event underlying the liability actually occurs and therefore the financial statements do not
include a liability for these royalties.





Regarding the payment period of the royalties, it was determined that for countries in
which a patent is registered, the payment period of the royalties for sales in such countries will continue until the later of
(A) the expiry date of the patent in that country; (B) the expiry of the exclusivity period (set by an authorized entity in that
country) for a product based on the patent; or (C) nine years from the date of the first commercial sale in that country. For
countries in which no patent has been registered with success, the payment period of the royalties for sales in such countries
will continue until the later of (1) the expiry date of the regulatory exclusivity in that country; or (2) nine years from the
date of the first commercial sale in that country.

| | B. | Royalties agreement (cont.)
| | -- | ---------------------------



The license with Yissum will remain
valid after the end of the royalty period for both countries in which a patent was registered and for countries in which a patent
was not registered, at which time the Group will have an irrevocable, unlimited license that is exempt from payment of royalties
for sales in the country where the royalty period has ended.



The Group has undertaken to indemnify
Yissum and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, their employees, officers, representatives and any person acting on their behalf
(hereinafter, the “Indemnitees”) for any liability, including product liability, damages, losses, expenses, fees and
reasonable legal expenses (hereinafter, “Damages") that they may incur due to the acts and omissions of the Group, and/or
arising from the use, development, production, marketing, sale and/or grant of a biotechnology sublicense, unless the Damages are
due to gross or malicious negligence by the Indemnitees. In addition, before the clinical trials started and prior to the first
commercial sale, the Group undertook to purchase comprehensive liability insurance for product liability and the Group's undertaking
for their indemnification and to add Yissum as an additional insured party. The Group also undertook to purchase, at its expense,
when the clinical trials begin, a liability insurance policy for clinical trials in an appropriate amount and in accordance with
customary commercial practice. The Group acquired insurance for the clinical trials it finances.

| | (1) | In June 2018, the Company completed a fundraising of $22.9 million from investors in the United
States and Israel, as well as existing shareholders, led by Shavit Capital Funds. In consideration for the investment, the Company
issued 5,960,787 ordinary shares (constituting approximately 38% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital after
completion of the transaction) at a price per share of about $3.842, as well as warrants to acquire additional shares equal to
80% of the shares issued, at an exercise price per share of NIS 16.20 (about $4.32). The warrants are exercisable for five years
from the closing date of the transaction, as of December 31, 2018, and may be exercised on a cashless basis.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In addition, the investors were
granted price protection rights (to shares and warrants) in the event of a future share issuance by the Company wherein the price
does not increase by at least approximately 42.86% over the price per share in the fundraising (or the adjusted price per share,
if the price has already been adjusted). For details of an allocation pursuant to these rights, see Note 1 (General) above.



The consideration was allocated to additional
paid-in capital and to two derivative financial instruments: financial instrument – warrants and financial instrument –
price protection mechanism (collectively, the “shares” (“Derivative Financial Instruments”). The Derivative
Financial Instruments were measured at fair value on the date of the transaction, since they constitute Level 3 derivative financial
instruments. The Company used the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method and the main assumptions underlying the calculation

Note
10– Financial Instruments



The Group has exposure to the following risks
from its use of financial instruments: credit, liquidity and market risks.



| | A. | Framework for risk management
| | -- | -----------------------------



The Board of Directors has overall
responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.



The Group's risk management policy
was formulated to identify and analyze the risks that the Group faces, to set appropriate limits for the risks and controls, and
to monitor the risks and their compliance with the limits. The risk policy and risk management methods are reviewed regularly to
reflect changes in market conditions and in the Group's operations. The Group acts to develop an effective control environment
in which all employees understand their roles and commitment.



| | B. | Credit risk
| | -- | -----------



Credit risk is the risk of financial
loss to the Group if a debtor or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises mainly
from the Company’s receivables.The Group restricts exposure to credit risk by investing only in bank deposits.



Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial
assets represents the Group’s maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:



|                           |  | December 31     |      
|-------------------------- |  | --------------- | -----
|                           |  | 2018            |      
|                           |  | Carrying amount |      
|                           |  | $ thousands     |      
|                           |  |                 |      
|Cash and cash equivalents  |  |                 | 7,517
|Long-term pledged deposits |  |                 | 120  
|                           |  |                 |      
|                           |  |                 | 7,637



| | C. | Liquidity risk
| | -- | --------------



Liquidity risk is the risk that
the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity
is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they become due,
under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.



This does not take into account
the potential effect of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted.



See also Note 1B(2) (General—Reporting
Entity) regarding going concern.

The following are the carrying amounts
of contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:



|                      |  | December 31,    |      
|--------------------- |  | --------------- | -----
|                      |  | 2018            |

|                      |  | $ thousands     |      
|Financial liabilities |  |                 |      
|Trade payables        |  |                 | 396

|Total                 |  |                 | 1,941





The amounts
of contractual cash flows and liabilities maturing in the six months subsequent to the balance sheet date are identical to the
carrying amounts.



| | D. | Market risk
| | -- | -----------



Market risk is the risk that changes
in market prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, the CPI, interest rates and the prices of equity instruments, will influence
the Group’s results or the value of its holdings in financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing return.



Currency risk



The Group is exposed to currency
risk mainly for cash and purchases for research and development expenses that are denominated in dollars and euros. Therefore,
the Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in these currencies against the NIS and takes steps to reduce the currency risk
by maintaining its liquid resources in accordance with its future needs.

| | B. | Sensitivity analysis

A change as of December 31 in the
exchange rates of the dollar and of the euro against the NIS, as indicated below, or a change in the CPI would have increased (reduced)
profit or loss and equity by the amounts presented below. The analysis below is based on foreign currency exchange rate and CPI
variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all
other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

of $13.3 million, $9.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
of $12.6 million, 9 million and 5.4 million shares, respectively, calculated as follows:

Note
15 – Loss per Share (CONT.)



| | B. | Diluted loss per share
| | -- | ----------------------



The Company did not present data
for the diluted loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of options (exercisable into 2.5 million shares on December 31,
2018 and 1.2 million shares on December 31, 2017), investor warrants (exercisable into 4.8 million shares on December 31, 2018
and 0 shares on December 31, 2017) and the price protection mechanism. See Note 8 (Equity) and Note 9 (Share Based Payment) for
information about options and warrants for the purchase of the Company’s ordinary shares and the price protection mechanism,
which may have a dilutive effect in the future.

In June 2018, options to purchase
909,203 shares were allotted to the CEO in accordance with his employment agreement, which includes rights to the grant of options
at the time of fundraising at an exercise price of $3.67 per share (the fair value of the Company's ordinary shares on the approval
date by the Company’s Board of Directors on this matter), vesting in four tranches at the end of each year from the beginning
of his employment in May 2016, at a total cost of $1.7 million. As part of the fundraising in June 2018 described in Note 8C (Equity—Issuances)
