Note 1 - General

A. |
Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”) is an Israeli-based company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel in September 2011. The Company’s registered
office is located in Kiryat Atidim, Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company is a clinical-stage biotech company discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for conditions with high-unmet medical need that involve inflammation and fibrosis. The
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are: Chemomab Ltd. ("Chemomab"), Chemomab Therapeutics Israel Ltd. and Chemomab Therapeutics, Inc.
|
The Company currently has no products approved for sale. The Company’s operations are funded primarily by its shareholders. The
Company has incurred operating losses in each year since its inception and does not expect to generate significant revenue unless and until it obtains marketing approval for its products. Continuation of the Company’s development programs depend on
its future ability to raise sources of financing. The Company believes that its existing liquidity resources as of September 30, 2023, will enable it to fund its operations through December 31, 2024 with the ability to perform cost reductions in
order to extend the operations even further, if required to do so.

B. |
On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on
Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers in the
southern part of the country. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war (“Iron Swords” war) against Hamas and a military campaign commenced in parallel to continued rocket and terror attacks by Hamas. In the weeks since the
initial attack by Hamas, hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Hezbollah located in Lebanon have accelerated, and this clash may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.
|
Therefore, the effects of the war on the financial statements for periods prior to the beginning of the war are non-adjusting events
pursuant to ASC 855. Nevertheless, the security situation, the continuation of fighting, the attacks on the State of Israel and the effects of the fighting on businesses and the population and the steps that were taken by the Government of Israel as
a result of entering this war, have affected the country’s economic activity, and this may have an effect on the financial reporting of companies. Therefore, management is carefully considering the effect of the “Iron Swords” war on the financial
statements. Currently, the Company does not consider the effect on the financial reporting to be significant.
Depending on the intensity and duration of the current war with Hamas, or any future hostilities that may emerge, PSC patients at
Israeli hospitals may elect to either withdraw from the clinical trial or relocate to a different hospital outside of Israel. Also, hospital staff at Israeli hospitals available to help with the conduct of the CM-101 trial may become limited due to
the general call-up of reservists to military service. The Company does not anticipate these factors will have any material adverse effect on its ability to complete the clinical trial on time due to the comparatively low ratio of patients currently
being treated at Israeli hospitals relative to the total number of patients enrolled in the clinical trial globally.

CM-101 clinical trial supplies for the Company's Phase 2 PSC trial are manufactured by a supplier in Denmark. The Company's clinical
trials are not required to be conducted in Israel under the regulations of the Israel Innovation Authority of the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry. CM-101 clinical trial supplies for the Company's our Phase 2 PSC trial are packaged and
stored in Germany for ongoing importation to an Israel depot and final distribution to our clinical sites. The current inventory at the Israel depot and sites is sufficient to support the ongoing patient enrollment and activity. As of the date of
these financial statements, the Company has not experienced any significant impact to patient treatment visits in accordance with the protocol and the vast majority of active patients continue to receive treatments as scheduled.
At this time, the Company assesses, on the basis of the information it has on the date of approval of the financial statements, that
the current events and the recent escalation of the conflict underway in Israel, have no significant effect on the business results of the Company. Since this is an event that is not under the control of the Company and matters such as the
fighting continuing or stopping may affect the Company's assessments, as of the reporting date, it is not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on the Company's business activities. The Company is
continuing to regularly follow developments on the matter and is examining the effect on its operations and financial condition.

On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the "Cantor ATM Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., ("Cantor"). According
to the Cantor ATM Agreement, the Company could offer and sell, from time to time, its ADSs having an aggregate offering price of up to $75 million through Cantor or the Cantor ATM Agreement. On April 25, 2022, the Company filed a prospectus
supplement with the SEC for the issuance and sale of up to $18,125,000 of its ADSs in connection with the reactivation of the Cantor ATM Agreement facility and pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which, subject to certain
exceptions, limits the amount of securities the Company was able to offer and sell under such registration statement to one-third of the Company's unaffiliated public float. From April 30, 2021 through September 30, 2023, the Company issued
1,603,211 ADSs under the Cantor ATM Agreement, resulting in gross proceeds of $17,606 thousand. In September 2023, the Company terminated the Cantor ATM Agreement . In October 2023, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering
Agreement with Roth Capital Partners LLC. See also Note 4.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Preparation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report are unaudited. These financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a
fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2023, and its results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022,
and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any
other future annual or interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s significant
accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of such financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s
significant accounting policies.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Note 3 – Contingencies
During 2022, the Israeli tax authority ("ITA”) notified the Company that it had initiated a routine VAT audit to include tax years 2017
through 2022. The ITA raised several claims, mainly in respect with the recoverability of VAT related to the Merger Agreement expenses and the classification of the Company as a holding company. In July 2022, the ITA proposed a settlement, which the
Company rejected. As a result, the ITA issued an assessment. In November 2022, the Company filed an appeal to the ITA’s assessment. The Company has recorded a provision in 2022 that is inherently subjective due to the inherent uncertainty of these
matters and the judicial process, therefore, the outcome may differ from the estimated liability recorded by the Company during 2022.
In October 2023, the ITA rejected the company’s appeal on the assessment. The Company is planning to submit an appeal to the Israeli
district court. Based on the consultancy of its tax advisors, the Company estimates that the amount of provision recorded in 2022 remains adequate.

Note 4 – Events After the Balance Sheet Date
In September 2023, the Company terminated the Cantor ATM Agreement. In October 2023, the Company entered into ATM agreement (the "Roth
ATM Agreement") with Roth Capital Partners LLC ("Roth"). According to the Roth ATM Agreement, the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, its ADSs having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,864 thousand through Roth or the Roth ATM
Agreement. On October 16, 2023, as amended on October 30, 2023, the Company filed a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-275002) with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”), which included a prospectus supplement for the issuance and
sale of up to $2,864 thousand of its ADSs pursuant to the Roth ATM Agreement. The Registration Statement is a replacement registration statement with respect to securities that remain unsold under the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-255658) filed on April 30, 2021, and declared effective on May 17, 2021.

Exhibit 99.2
Chemomab Therapeutics Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and
Provides Corporate Update
—Continued Strong Progress in Advancing CM-101 Phase 2 PSC Trial Towards Completion
of Enrollment--On Track for Topline Readout in Second Half of 2024—
—Reiterates Guidance that Cash Reserves Are Sufficient to Fund the Company Through the End
of 2024, with Decreasing Quarterly Cash Burn Expected to Continue—
TEL AVIV, Israel ─ November 9, 2023 ─ Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: CMMB) (Chemomab), a clinical stage biotechnology company
focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need, today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and provided a corporate
update.
“Chemomab made excellent progress during the third quarter,” said Adi Mor, PhD, co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Chemomab. “Our focus on successfully completing our CM-101 Phase 2
trial in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is fueling rapid progress, as robust patient interest is enabling us to advance towards completion of the enrollment stage of the trial. We expect to provide more detail on projected trial completion
and reporting timelines early in the new year.”
Dr. Mor added, “During the quarter we also participated in activities to raise awareness about PSC and the high unmet need for effective PSC therapies. We were an active participant in and supporter of the annual
conference of the leading U.S. patient advocacy organization, which was complemented by our work with PSC advocates in Europe and Israel. We also continued to work closely with PSC key opinion leaders who are coordinating efforts to advance the
evolving regulatory environment for PSC therapies, with the goal of incorporating new knowledge and improved technologies into regulatory decision-making. We expect that our ongoing collaborations with opinion leaders and patient groups will help
us move expeditiously towards a Phase 3 registrational trial in PSC, if our current Phase 2 trial is successful.”
“We are also continuing our campaign to educate the scientific and medical communities about CCL24 and CM-101. We have an oral presentation and multiple posters at both the 2023 AASLD Liver Meeting® in
Boston and the 2023 ACR Convergence conference in San Diego next week. Our continued success in achieving oral and poster presentations at top medical conferences highlights the scientific relevance of our CM-101 programs.”
“We are continuing to manage our resources prudently and expect our quarterly cash burn to continue to decrease in 2024. We reiterate our prior guidance that we believe we have adequate financial resources to both
achieve our significant Phase 2 PSC topline data milestone and take us through the end of next year. We view the upcoming PSC milestone as a major catalyst for Chemomab. If successful, we expect the trial results to provide us a range of options
for advancing CM-101 in PSC and other indications.”
“Finally, I want to note that despite the major challenges confronting Israel, we do not expect an impact on our ongoing activities. Currently, our headquarters and R&D operations in Tel Aviv are fully operational
and our clinical development and medical affairs teams based in the U.S. are functioning normally, as planned. We would like to thank our employees and our many colleagues around the globe who have offered us tremendous support during this
difficult time for Israel.”
Third Quarter 2023 Corporate Updates
Scientific Studies Accepted for Oral and Poster Presentations at 2023 AASLD The Liver Meeting® and at ACR Convergence 2023
Studies authored and co-authored by Chemomab scientists were accepted for presentation at two major U.S. medical conferences in November, including an oral presentation on PSC and a scientific poster at the AASLD The
Liver Meeting® in Boston, as well as a poster presentation on the role of Chemomab’s CCL24 target in systemic sclerosis at the American College of Rheumatology Convergence 2023 conference in San Diego. Further details of the
presentations will be released later this month.
Participated in Investor Conferences
Chemomab management recently participated in several investor conferences, including the 2023 Roth MKM Health Opportunities Conference and the 2023 H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference.
During the quarter the Company was also proactive in reaching out to analysts and investors to educate them about Chemomab’s programs and our future plans.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
|
◾ |
Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents were $21.4 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $26.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company currently expects its cash runway to
last through year-end 2024.
|
|
◾ |
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $3.4 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $5.4 million for the same quarter in 2022. The decrease
in R&D expense year-over-year primarily reflects a decrease in manufacturing costs for clinical supplies, which was partly offset by increases in the company’s clinical program activities.
|
|
◾ |
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $1.0 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.9 million for the same quarter in 2022. The decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and related benefits expenses as well as a decrease in non-cash share-based expenses.
|
|
◾ |
Net Loss: Net loss was $4.1 million, or a net loss of approximately $0.017 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $8.1 million, or a
net loss of approximately $0.035 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
|
The weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding, basic and diluted, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was 236,449,153 (equal to 11,822,458 American Depository Shares) compared to 228,773,418 Ordinary
Shares (equal to 11,438,671 American Depository Shares) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
For further details on Chemomab’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, refer to the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, which was filed with the SEC on November 9, 2023.

About Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.
Chemomab is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need. Based on the unique and pivotal role of CCL24 in promoting fibrosis and
inflammation, Chemomab developed CM-101, a monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize CCL24 activity. In preclinical and clinical studies, CM-101 appears safe, with the potential to treat multiple severe and life-threatening fibro-inflammatory
diseases. Chemomab has reported encouraging results from three clinical trials of CM-101 in patients, including a Phase 1b trial in NAFLD patients, a Phase 2a liver fibrosis trial in NASH patients and an investigator-initiated study in patients
with severe lung injury. The CM-101 program for the treatment of systemic sclerosis is Phase 2-ready and a Phase 2 trial in primary sclerosing cholangitis patients is ongoing, with topline data expected in the second half of 2024. For more
