7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
The
following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our
results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate,
anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which refer to future events. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Organizational
Background
The
Registrant was incorporated in the State of Ohio in 1989 under a predecessor name, Zaxis International, Inc. On August 25, 1995,
Zaxis International, Inc. merged with a subsidiary of The InFerGene Company, a Delaware corporation, which entity changed its
name to Zaxis International, Inc. and the Company was reincorporated in Delaware under the name of Zaxis International, Inc. On
December 30, 2014, Zaxis entered into an agreement with Emerald Medical Applications Ltd., a private limited liability company
organized under the laws of the State of Israel.
Emerald
Medical Applications Ltd.
On
March 16, 2015, Zaxis and Emerald Israel executed a share exchange agreement, which closed on July 14, 2015, and Emerald Israel
became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Emerald Israel was engaged in the business of developing Emerald Israel’s
DermaCompare technology and the development, sale and service of imaging solutions utilizing its DermaCompare software for use
in derma imaging and analytics for the detection of skin cancer. On January 29, 2018, the Company ceased the DermaCompare operations
of its former subsidiary.
On
January 29, 2018, the Company ceased the DermaCompare operations of Emerald Israel and on May 2, 2018, the District Court of Lod,
Israel issued a winding-up order for Emerald Israel and appointed an Israeli attorney to serve as special executor for Emerald
Israel.
Virtual
Crypto Technologies Ltd.
On
January 17, 2018, the Company formed VCT Israel to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating, allowing and
supporting purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, personal computers (“PCs”) and/or mobile
devices.
On
January 24, 2018, VCT Israel entered into a binding term sheet (the “Chiron Term Sheet”) with Chiron Refineries Ltd.
(“Chiron”), a public company listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: CHR). Pursuant to the Chiron Term Sheet:
(i) VCT Israel agreed to appoint a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chiron, to be organized under the laws of the Turkish Republic of
Northern Cyprus (the “Distributor”), as the exclusive distributor of VCT Israel’s Products in Turkey, including
the territory of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (collectively, the “Territory”); and (ii) the Distributor shall
have the right to appoint sub-distributors within the Territory. The appointment of the Distributor was subject to the payment
by the distributor to VCT Israel of $250 thousand as an appointment fee, of which $150 thousand was to be deemed an advance payment
by the distributor made on account of future purchases of the Company’s products.
20
VCT
Israel further granted the Distributor an option, exercisable by the Distributor within 12 months from the date on which the ATM
product, including the related software and hardware, was fully tested and ready for installation and operation, to be appointed
as an exclusive distributor of the products for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If the option was exercised, the Distributor
was required to pay VCT Israel an appointment fee not more than $250 thousand. In November 2018, Chiron reported that it had encountered
financial difficulties and as such the Company will no longer pursue the transactions contemplated by the Chiron Term Sheet.
During
the year 2018, $100 thousand was paid by the Distributor to VCT Israel, which has been recognized as revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
On
January 27, 2020, VCT Israel was sold to a third party for NIS 50,000 ($14,459).
Transaction
with Gix (the “Recapitalization Transaction”)
On
February 7, 2019, the Registrant entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with Gix, pursuant to which on the Closing Date Gix
assigned, transferred and delivered its 99.83% holdings in Viewbix Israel to the Company in exchange for shares of restricted
common stock of the Company, representing 65% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis
as of the Closing Date, following the conversion of certain convertible notes of the Company and excluding certain warrants to
purchase shares of the Common Stock expiring in 2020 and additional warrants as further described below (the “Fully Diluted
Share Capital”). In addition, upon the earlier of: (a) the launch of a live video product to an American consumer in the
United States by Viewbix Israel, or (b) the launch of an interactive television product to an American consumer in the United
States by Viewbix Israel, the Company will issue to Gix an additional 1,642,193 shares of restricted common stock of the Company
representing 5% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital immediately following the Closing Date.
On
July 24, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of
Delaware reflecting its name change from Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. to Viewbix Inc. to reflect its new operations and business
focus and, effective on August 7, 2019, FINRA approved the Registrant’s name change and its trading symbol was changed from
“VRCP” to “VBIX” on the OTCQB.
On
the Closing Date, the Company (i) issued 20,281,085 shares of its Common Stock to Gix in exchange for consideration consisting
of for its 99.83% holdings in Viewbix Israel, and (ii) convertible notes representing 3,434,889 shares of Common Stock then currently
issued to holders were converted. The shares of common stock were issued under Regulation S. The Company also issued a total of
7,298,636 warrants to Gix to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, whereby (i) 3,649,318 of such warrants were issued with
an exercise price of $0.48, and (ii) 3,649,318 of such warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.80.
Following
the Closing Date, and as a result of the Recapitalization Transaction, Viewbix Israel became a subsidiary of the Registrant.
As
the shareholders of Viewbix Israel received the largest ownership interest in the Company, Viewbix Israel was determined to be
the “accounting acquirer” in the Recapitalization Transaction. As a result, the historical financial statements of
the Company were replaced with the historical financial statements of Viewbix Israel. The number of shares of Common Stock prior
to the Recapitalization Transaction have been retroactively adjusted based on the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock
received by the accounting acquirer in the Recapitalization Transaction.
Viewbix
Israel was incorporated in Israel in February 2006. Viewbix Israel developed an interactive video platform based on SaaS business
model with interactive elements, and the ability to collect and analyze information about each interactive action performed during
the viewing of the video clip. The interactive elements and information gathered, allowing the advertiser to analyze user viewing
habits and optimize real-time throughout the campaign while increasing the effectiveness of online and live video advertising.

Results
of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019
Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $96 thousand as compared to $208 thousand for the year end December 31, 2019. The reason
for the decrease during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 is due to the Company’s cost-reduction measures implemented
beginning on January 1, 2020.
Cost
of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $5 thousand which is a slight increase to $2 thousand for the year end December
31, 2019.
Research
and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $108 thousand as compared to $233 thousand for the year end December
31, 2019. The reason for the decrease during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 is due to the Company’s cost-reduction
measures implemented beginning on January 1, 2020.
Sales
and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $8 thousand as compared to $257 thousand for the year end December
31, 2019. The reason for the decrease during the year ended December 31, 2020 is due to the Company’s cost-reduction measures
implemented beginning on January 1, 2020.
General
and Administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $437 thousand as compared to $720 thousand for the year end
December 31, 2019. The reason for the decrease in 2020 is due to certain cost reduction measures initiated by the Company as
of the beginning of January 2020. Additionally, during the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2020, the Company
was no longer obligated to pay recapitalization expenses in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction and the Share Exchange
Agreement which were paid by the Company during the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2019.
22
Our
net financial income was $13 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net financial expenses of $98 thousand
for the year end December 31, 2019. The reason for the change is due to the US dollar exchange rate difference for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the fiscal year end December 31, 2019.
Our
tax on income was $2 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $15 thousand for the year end December 31,
2019. The reason for the decrease is due to the fact that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 the Company recognized
a one-time tax expense related to prior years.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2020, we had current assets of $225 thousand consisting of $148 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $15 thousand
in trade receivables, $20 thousand in other accounts receivables and, $42 thousand in prepaid expenses.
We
had $2,303 thousand in current liabilities consisting of $177 in other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $22 trade payable,
and $2,054 payable to our parent company.
As
of December 31, 2019, we had current assets of $225 thousand consisting of $89 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and restricted
cash, $119 thousand in other receivables and $17 thousand in prepaid expenses. We had $1,923 thousand in current liabilities,
which consisted of $246 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $66 trade payable, and $1,611 payable to our parent company.
We
had a negative working capital of $2,078 thousand and $1,698 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Our
total liabilities as of December 31, 2020 were $2,303 thousand compared to $1,923 thousand as of December 31, 2019.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we had negative cash flow from operations of $53 thousand which was mainly the result
of a net loss of $443 thousand, depreciation expense of $5 thousand, offset by gains from the sale of a subsidiary and decrease
in working capital of $385 thousand.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we had negative cash flow from operations of $135 thousand which was mainly the result
of a net loss of $1,117 thousand, depreciation expense of $1 thousand, offset by decrease in working capital of $981.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we had a positive cash flow effect from investing activities of $13 thousand as compared
to a negative cash flow effect from investing activities of $1 thousand as during the year ended December 31, 2019.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we had a positive cash flow from financing activities of $99 thousand, which related
to the Loan Agreement and issuance of shares we have made during the fiscal year ended December 2020, compared to a positive cash
flow from financing activities of $174 thousand during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which related to the cash
acquired in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction.
There
are no limitations in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation on the Company’s ability to borrow funds or raise
funds through the issuance of shares of its common stock to affect a business combination. The Company’s limited resources
and lack of having cash-generating business operations may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. The Company’s
limitations to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted capital stock required to effect or facilitate a
business combination may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future prospects, including
the ability to complete a business combination.
23
Until
such time as the Company can generate substantial revenues, the Company expects to finance its cash needs through a combination
of the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, debt financing and strategic alliances and collaborations. The Company
does not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale
of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of its shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of
these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. 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. To the extent that debt financing ultimately
proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the
risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired
business. If the Company raises funds through additional collaborations or strategic alliances with third parties, we may have
to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams and/or distribution arrangements. No assurance can be given that any
future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. If the Company
is unable to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financings when needed or on attractive terms, the Company may
be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate the operations of some or all of its business segments.
Going
Concern
The
Company has incurred $443 thousand in net losses for the year ended December 31, 2020, has $2,078 thousand shareholders’
deficit as of December 31, 2020 and $1,693 thousand in total shareholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2019 and $53 thousand
negative cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, and $135 thousand negative cash flows from
operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating
losses and to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources and through additional
raises of capital.
Such
conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan
includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the
Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet
its objectives. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
Availability
of Additional Capital
Our
potential financing transactions may include the issuance of equity and/or debt securities including convertible debt, obtaining
credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. In the event that we seek to raise funds through additional private placements
of equity or convertible debt, the trading price of our common stock could be adversely affected. Further, any adverse conditions
in the financial markets could make it more difficult to obtain future financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities
when and if needed. Even if we are able to raise a sufficient amount of funds that may be required, it is possible that we could
incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek additional and/or alternative
financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional
financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our plan of operations.
The
Company has only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern. Our independent
auditors have issued an unqualified audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2020 with an explanatory paragraph on going
concern.
In
view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued
operations of the Company. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional equity financing will provide
the opportunity to continue as a going concern.
24
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of December 31, 2020, and 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation
S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
As
of December 31, 2020, and 2019, we did not have any contractual obligations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation
of our consolidated financial statements and disclosures requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience,
known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions and conditions.
Our
significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
