sales team has quickly ramped up the initial phase of the commercial launch for the LungFit PH, which received FDA approval
in late-June. This initial activity includes conducting product demonstrations at numerous U.S. hospitals, which we are pleased to report
have generated positive feedback from the participating hospital staff. We are also highly encouraged by the feedback received during
the medical conferences our team has attended since approval. The early success of this program and initial feedback received is expected
to put us on schedule to equip the first small group of hospitals with LungFit PH systems over the next several months.
We look forward to the upcoming American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in November and encourage investors to come see us in
New Orleans," commented Steve Lisi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Beyond Air. "We continue to expect to receive
CE Mark for LungFit PH in Europe during the second half of calendar year 2022. In addition, we are planning to submit
a PMA supplement for an expanded cardiac label for the LungFit PH system to the U.S. FDA."

and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased to $8.2 million, compared with $3.9 million for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to the staffing and scaling up of Beyond Cancer in both the U.S.
and Israel, as well as continued investments necessary to support the commercial launch of LungFit
income and expense for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 was a loss of $0.2 million, compared with a loss of $0.2 million for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021.
the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $11.7 million, of which $10.9 million, or ($0.37) per share, was
attributable to the shareholders of Beyond Air, compared with a net loss of $6.7 million, or ($0.31) per share, for the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2021.
of June 30, 2022, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $72.8 million.
cash used in operations, including Beyond Cancer, was $6.8 million in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. This is below the quarterly

Air, Inc. is a medical device and biopharmaceutical company dedicated to harnessing the power of nitric oxide (NO) through its revolutionary
NO Generator and Delivery System, LungFit , that uses NO generated from ambient air to deliver precise amounts of NO to
the lungs for the potential treatment of a variety of pulmonary diseases. The LungFit can generate up to 400 ppm of NO, for delivery
either continuously or for a fixed amount of time and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. The
Company has received FDA approval for its first system, LungFit PH for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. Beyond Air is
currently advancing its other revolutionary LungFit systems in clinical trials for the treatment of severe lung infections such as community-acquired
viral pneumonia (including COVID-19), nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and severe lung infections in other settings. Additionally, Beyond
Cancer, an affiliate of Beyond Air, is investigating ultra-high concentrations of NO with a proprietary delivery system to target certain
solid tumors in the pre-clinical setting. For more information, visit www.beyondair.net.
Oxide (NO) is a powerful molecule, naturally synthesized in the human body, proven to play a critical role in a broad array of biological
functions. In the airways, NO targets the vascular smooth muscle cells that surround the small resistance arteries in the lungs. Currently,
exogenous inhaled NO is used in adult respiratory distress syndrome, post certain cardiac surgeries and persistent pulmonary hypertension
of the newborn to treat hypoxemia. Additionally, NO is believed to play a key role in the innate immune system and in vitro studies suggest
that NO possesses anti-microbial activity not only against common bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative, but also
against other diverse pathogens, including mycobacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and parasites, and has the potential to eliminate multi-drug
Air's LungFit is a cylinder-free, phasic flow nitric oxide generator and delivery system and has been designated
as a medical device by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ventilator compatible version of the device can generate NO from
ambient air on demand for delivery to the lungs at concentrations ranging from 1 part per million (ppm) to 80 ppm. The LungFit
system could potentially replace large, high-pressure NO cylinders providing significant advantages in the hospital setting, including
greatly reducing inventory and storage requirements, improving overall safety with the elimination of NO2 purging steps, and other benefits.
The LungFit can also deliver NO at concentrations at or above 80 ppm for potentially treating severe acute lung infections
in the hospital setting (e.g. COVID-19, bronchiolitis) and chronic, refractory lung infections in the home setting (e.g. NTM). With the
elimination of cylinders, Beyond Air intends to offer NO treatment in the home setting.
Beyond Air's LungFit PH is approved for commercial use only in the United States of America. Beyond Air's
other LungFit systems are not approved for commercial use and are for investigational use only. Beyond Air is not suggesting
NO use over 80 ppm or use at home.
pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a lethal condition and secondary to failure of normal circulatory transition at birth.
It is a syndrome characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) that causes labile hypoxemia due to decreased pulmonary
blood flow and right-to-left shunting of blood. Its incidence has been reported as 1.9 per 1000 live births (0.4-6.8/1000 live
births) with mortality rate ranging between 4-33%. This syndrome complicates the course of about 10% of infants with respiratory
failure and remains a source of considerable morbidity and mortality. NO gas is a vasodilator, is approved in dozens of countries to
improve oxygenation and reduces the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation)
neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction
with ventilator support and other appropriate agents.
Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia
adults, viruses have been identified as the causative agents in approximately 100 million cases of community-acquired pneumonia per year.
While viral pneumonia in adults is most commonly caused by rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus, newly emerging
viruses (including SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, avian influenza A, and H1N1 viruses) have been identified as pathogens contributing to the
overall burden of adult viral pneumonia. Patients aged 65 years or older are at particular risk for death from the disease, as are patients
with other underlying health conditions or weakened immune systems. There is no consensus regarding the use of antiviral drugs to treat
viral pneumonia, and specific preventative measures are currently limited to the influenza vaccine. Given that current treatment recommendations
are largely limited to supportive care, there is an unmet medical need for effective treatment options.
mycobacteria (NTM) infection is a rare and serious bacterial infection in the lungs causing debilitating pulmonary disease associated
with high morbidity and mortality. NTM infection is acquired by inhaling aerosolized bacteria from the environment, and can lead to NTM
lung disease, a progressive and chronic condition. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 13% of U.S. cystic fibrosis patients
had a positive culture for a NTM species in 2017. NTM is an emerging public health concern worldwide because of its multi-drug antibiotic
resistance. Current treatment guidelines suggest a combination of multiple antibiotics dosed chronically for as long as two years. These
complex, expensive and invasive regimens have a poor record in the treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) and refractory
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and have the potential to cause severe adverse events. Beyond Air's system is designed to deliver
150 - 400 ppm NO to the lung, and early data indicate that this range of NO concentrations could have a positive effect on patients infected
majority of hospital admissions of infants with bronchiolitis are caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a common and highly
transmissible virus that infects the respiratory tract of most children before their second birthday. While most infants with RSV present
with minor respiratory symptoms, a small percentage develop serious lower airway infections, termed bronchiolitis, which can become life-threatening.
The absence of treatment options for bronchiolitis limits the care of these sick infants to largely supportive measures. Beyond Air's
system is designed to effectively deliver 150 - 400 ppm NO, for which preliminary studies indicate may eliminate bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and other microbes from the lungs.
