Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE 1: GENERAL

A. Organizational Background

Viewbix Inc. (formerly known as Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 16, 1985, under a predecessor name, The InFerGene Company (“InFerGene Company”). On August 25, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of InFerGene Company merged with Zaxis International, Inc., an Ohio corporation, which following such merger, the surviving entity, InFerGene Company, changed its name to Zaxis International, Inc (“Zaxis”). In 2015 the Company changed its name to Emerald Medical Applications Corp., subsequent to which the Company, through its subsidiary, was engaged in the development of technology for use in detection of skin cancer. On January 29, 2018, the Company ceased its business operations in this field.

On January 17, 2018, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel, Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd. (“VCT Israel”), to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating and supporting the purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies. Effective as of March 7, 2018, the Company’s name was changed from Emerald Medical Applications Corp. to Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. VCT Israel ceased its business operation in 2019 and prior to consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction. On January 27, 2020, VCT Israel was sold to a third party for NIS 50 thousand (approximately $13).

On February 7, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement” or the “Recapitalization Transaction”) with Gix Internet Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Gix” or “Parent Company’’), pursuant to which, Gix assigned, transferred and delivered its 99.83% holdings in Viewbix Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Viewbix Israel”), to the Company in exchange for shares of the Company, which resulted in Viewbix Israel becoming a subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, effective as of August 7, 2019, the Company’s name was changed from Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. to Viewbix Inc.

B. Reorganization Transaction

On December 5, 2021, the Company entered into a certain Agreement and Plan of Merger with Gix Media Ltd. (“Gix Media”), an Israeli company and the majority-owned (77.92%) subsidiary of Gix, the Parent Company and Vmedia Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, Merger Sub merged with and into Gix Media, with Gix Media being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Reorganization Transaction”).

On September 19, 2022, (the “Closing Date”) the Reorganization Transaction was consummated and as a result, all outstanding ordinary shares of Gix Media, having no par value (the “Gix Media Shares”) were delivered to the Company in exchange for the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). As a result of the Reorganization Transaction, the former holders of Gix Media Shares, who previously held approximately 68% of the Company’s Common Stock, hold approximately 97% of the Company’s Common Stock, and Gix Media became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

B. Reorganization Transaction (Cont.)

In connection with the Closing of the Reorganization Transaction, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended COI”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, effective as of August 31, 2022, pursuant to which, concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amended COI, the Company, among other things, effected areverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-28.

As the Company and Gix Media Ltd. were consolidated both by the Parent Company and Medigus Ltd. (the “Ultimate Parent”), before and after the Reorganization Transaction, the Reorganization Transaction was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information of the Company and Gix Media Ltd. is presented in these financial statements, for all periods presented, reflecting the historical cost of the Company and Gix Media Ltd., as it is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company, for all periods preceding March 1, 2022, the date the Ultimate Parent obtained a controlling interest in the Parent Company and as it is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Ultimate Parent for all periods subsequent to March 1, 2022.

C. Business Overview

The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), Gix Media and Cortex Media Group Ltd. (“Cortex”), operate in the field of digital advertising. The Group has two main activities that are reported as separate operating segments: the search segment and the digital content segment.

The search segment develops a variety of technological software solutions, which perform automation, optimization, and monetization of internet campaigns, for the purposes of obtaining and routing internet user traffic to its customers. The search segment activity is conducted by Gix Media.

The digital content segment is engaged in the creation and editing of content, in different languages, for different target audiences, for the purposes of generating revenues from leading advertising platforms, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Apple, by utilizing such content to obtain and route internet user traffic for its customers. The digital content segment activity is conducted by Cortex.

On January 23, 2023, Gix Media acquired an additional 10% of the share capital of Cortex, increasing its holdings to 80% in consideration for $2,625 (the “Subsequent Purchase”). The Subsequent Purchase was financed by Gix Media’s existing cash balances and by a long-term bank loan received on January 17, 2023, in the amount of $1,500 (see also note 6.B).

The Subsequent Purchase was recorded as a transaction with non-controlling interests in the Company’s statement of changes in shareholders equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

D. Impact of the “Iron Swords” War on Israel

On October 7, 2023, following the brutal attacks on Israel by Hamas, a terrorist organization located in the Gaza Strip that infiltrated Israel’s southern border and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets, Israel’s security cabinet declared war (the “War”). Following the commencement of the War, hostilities also intensified between Israel and Hezbollah, a terrorist organization located in Lebanon. This may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. The War led to a reduction of business activities in Israel, evacuation of residences located in the northern and southern borders of Israel, a significant call up of military reserves and lower availability of work force.

As the Group’s customers are mainly in the US and Europe, its operations, revenues, and profitability were indirectly affected due to recruitment of senior employees to military reserves for an extended period of time.

In January 2024, Gix Media and Cortex filed a request with the Israeli Tax Authority (the “ITA”) to receive compensation for the decrease in revenues related to the War. In April and May 2024, Gix Media and Cortex received a total of $337 from the ITA that were recorded as other income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024.

As of the date of these financial statements the war is still on going. Therefore, there is no assurance that future developments of the War will not have any impact for reasons beyond the Company’s control, such as expansion of the War to additional regions. The Company has business continuity procedures in place, and will continue to follow developments, assessing potential impact, if any, on the Company’s business, financials, and operations.

E. Cortex Adverse Effect

In April 2024, the Company was informed by Cortex that a significant customer of Cortex recently notified Cortex it will stop advertising on Cortex’s sites, as part of its policy decision to cease advertising on Made for Advertising (“MFA”) sites (the “Cortex Adverse Effect”). The Cortex Adverse Effect, which has materially affected Cortex’s business and operations, has occurred following certain recent developments relating to publishers that are categorized by a number of on-line advertisers as MFA, including decisions made by leading media on-line advertisers to prioritize different media categories and implement publishing restrictions in connection with MFA. Due to the Cortex Adverse Effect and additional circumstances as explained in note 5.B, the Company recorded an impairment of $4,739 in the goodwill related to the digital content segment as of June 30, 2024.

-15-

F. Going Concern

During the second half of 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company experienced a decrease in its revenues from the digital content and search segments, as a result of the Cortex Adverse effect (see note 1.E), a decrease in user traffic acquired from third party advertising platforms, an industry-wide decrease in advertising budget, changes and updates to internet browsers’ technology, which adversely impacted the Company’s ability to acquire traffic in the search segment and a decrease in revenues from routing of traffic acquired from third-party strategic partners in the search segment, as a result of lack of availability of suppliers credit from such third party strategic partners. As a result of the foregoing, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an operating loss of $7,396 compared to $1,478 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company recorded a net loss of $10,069 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,209 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,405, bank loans of $5,828 and accumulated deficit of $19,427.

The decline in revenues and other circumstances described above raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern during the 12-month period following the issuance date of these financial statements.

Management’s response to these conditions included reduction of salaries and related expenses and reduction of professional services in the research and development, selling and marketing functions, reduction of other operational expenses, such as lease costs and overheads, as well as creation of new partnerships and other new income sources. In addition, during the period from June to August 2024, the Company raised through a private placement and through three facility agreements with certain investors and lenders (see note 6) aggregate gross proceeds of $887. Additionally, the Company plans to uplist its shares of common stock to a national securities exchange (the “Uplist”), after which, in accordance with the terms of the aforesaid private placement and facility agreements, the company is expected to receive additional funds. Furthermore, the Company’s subsidiaries entered into an addendum to a loan agreement with Bank Leumi pursuant to which loans repayments were deferred while short term credit lines with Bank Leumi continued to be utilized. However, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will further succeed to implement its plans or be able to secure additional funds when needed.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

B. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

C. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis its assumptions, including those related to contingencies, deferred taxes, inventory impairment, stock-based compensation, as well as in estimates used in applying the revenue recognition policy. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

D. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

E. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

●Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets.
●Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
●Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

F. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements other than the significant accounting policies of derivative financial instruments and fair value of financial instruments (see notes 2.D and 2.E above).

G. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The loan bears interest at a rate to be determined from time to time in accordance with Section 3(j) of the Income Tax Ordinance, new version, and the Income Tax Regulations (Determination of Interest Rate for the purposes of Section 3(j), 1986) or according to a market interest rate decision as agreed between the parties. The amount of the loan is in U.S. dollars. On March 20, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved to extend the loan between Gix Media and the Parent Company by 6 months until July 1, 2024. All other terms and conditions of the loan remained unchanged.

NOTE 4: LEASES

On February 25, 2021, Gix Media entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate office of 479 square meters in Ramat Gan, Israel, at a monthly rent fee of $10. The lease period is for 36 months (the “initial lease period”) with an option by the Company to extend the lease period for two additional terms of 24 months each. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Company made leasehold improvements in exchange for a rent fee discount of $67 which will be spread over the initial lease period.

The Company includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of the lease liabilities. In December 2023, the Company exercised the option to extend the lease period for an additional term of 24 months (from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2026).

On June 20, 2024, Gix Media and the lessor of its offices entered into a lease termination agreement. According to the agreement, the lease, which originally had a termination date of February 28, 2026, terminated on June 30, 2024. In compensation for the lessor’s consent to early termination Gix Media paid to the lessor $7 in cash and $62 in office furniture and equipment, as per the carrying values of such assets on the Company’s books as of the early termination date.

As a result of the early termination of the agreement, the Company recorded a capital loss of $46 in other expenses in its statement of operations for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024.

NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET (Cont.)

B. Impairment of goodwill:

As of June 30, 2024, the Company identified indicators of impairment of the digital content reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test which included a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value was estimated using the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit. The Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. As the carrying amount exceeded the fair value, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $4,739 which was driven mainly due to the Cortex Adverse Effect (see note 1.E) and due to a decrease in the cash flow projections.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $5,107 related to the digital content reporting unit.

The terms of the 2023 Loan were substantially amended on June 18, 2024, by the June 2024 Facility Agreement (see note 6.E). These amendments represent a substantial modification in accordance with ASC Topic 470.

As a result of the substantial modification of terms, the Company recognized finance expense of $2,515 in its interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024.

E. June 2024 Facility Agreement:

On June 18, 2024, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement which was amended and restated on July 22, 2024 (the “June 2024 Facility Agreement”) for a $1 million credit facility (the “June 2024 Facility Loan Amount”) with a group of lenders including L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd (the “June 2024 Lead Lender”, and collectively, the “June 2024 Lenders”). In addition to the June 2024 Facility Loan Amount, the June 2024 Facility Agreement includes $531 of outstanding debt owed by the Company to the June 2024 Lenders (the “June 2024 Prior Loan Amount”, and together with the June 2024 Facility Loan Amount, the “June 2024 Loan Amount”).

The term (the “June 2024 Facility Term”) of the June 2024 Facility Agreement expires 12 months following the date of the June 2024 Facility Agreement (the “Initial Maturity Date”), provided that, if the effectiveness of an uplisting of the Company’s shares of common stock to a national securities exchange (the “Uplist”) occurs prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the June 2024 Facility Term will expire 12 months following the effective date of the Uplist. The June 2024 Facility Agreement sets forth a drawdown schedule as follows:(i) an aggregate amount of $350 was drawn down on the date of the Prior June 2024 Facility Agreement, (ii) an aggregate amount of $150 drawn down upon the filing of the Company’s PIPE Registration Statement (as defined in note 12.A) and (iii) an amount of $500 drawn down upon the effectiveness of the Uplist.

The June 2024 Facility Loan Amount accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and the Company will also pay such interest on the June 2024 Prior Loan Amount, which is equal to $184 (the “June 2024 Facility Interest”). The June 2024 Facility Interest was paid in advance for the first year of the June 2024 Facility in (i) shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.25 for each U.S. dollar of June 2024 Facility Interest accrued on the respective June 2024 Loan Amount, equal to an aggregate of 734,716 shares of common stock (the “June 2024 Facility Shares”) and (b) a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the June 2024 Facility Shares (the “June 2024 Facility Warrant”).

-22-

E. June 2024 Facility Agreement (Cont.):

Immediately following the effectiveness of the Uplist, (i) $663 of the June 2024 Loan Amount will convert into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to $0.25 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “June 2024 Convertible Stock”) and (ii) the company will issue a warrant in substantially the same form and on substantially the same terms as a June 2024 Facility Warrant to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the June 2024 Convertible Stock with an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the “June 2024 Conversion Warrant”, and (i) and (ii), collectively a “June 2024 Conversion Unit”). Such portion of the June 2024 Loan Amount that is not converted into a June 2024 Conversion Unit will remain outstanding and will not convert following the Uplist.

NOTE 11: SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group operates intwo different segments in such a way that each company in the Group operates as a separate business segment.

Search segment- the search segment develops a variety of technological software solutions, which perform automation, optimization and monetization of internet campaigns, for the purposes of obtaining and routing internet user traffic to its customers.

Digital content segment- the digital content segment is engaged in the creation and editing of content, in different languages, for different target audiences, for the purposes of generating revenues from leading advertising platforms, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Apple, by utilizing such content to obtain internet user traffic for its customers.

The segments’ results include items that directly serve and/or are used by the segment’s business activity and are directly allocated to the segment. As such they do not include depreciation and amortization expenses for intangible assets created at the time of the purchase of those companies, financing expenses created for loans taken for the purpose of purchasing those companies and therefore these items are not allocated to the various segments.

Segments’ assets and liabilities are not reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker and therefore were not reflected in the segment reporting.
