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 subsidiarity, 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.

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 a reverse 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 three months ended March 31, 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.
The
Group’s activities are not directly affected by the War, as its customers are predominantly from the US or Europe, markets that
were not influenced by the War. However, as a result of the War, the Group’s operations were affected due to the recruitment of
some of the Group’s senior employees to reserves, including the CEO of Gix Media. The absence of senior employees for an extended
period affected customer relationship and operational and functional continuity and delayed some of the Company’s plans for the
fourth quarter of 2023. These effects indirectly contributed to a decline in the Company’s revenues, profitability, and cash flow.
The
Company has hired skilled employees to replace those who were recruited to military reserves. however, 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 and the recruitment of more senior employees. 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.
Going Concern
The
Company experienced a decrease in its revenues from the digital content and search segments as a result of 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 and other changes in the online advertising industry during the second half of 2023 and the
three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result of the foregoing, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded
an operating loss of $ 1,011 compared
to an operating loss of $ 76 in
the same period last year. Additionally, the Company recorded a net loss of $ 1,175 compared
to $ 345 in
the same period last year. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,284 , bank loans of $ 8,427 and
accumulated deficit of $ 11,660 .
Additionally, subsequent to the balance sheet date, a significant customer notified Cortex it will stop advertising on
Cortex’s websites (see also note 10).
While
subsequent to the balance sheet date Cortex has successfully taken steps to implement certain adjustments to its business model in response
to such conditions, 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
plans in response to these conditions include reducing operating expenses, creating new income sources, seeking additional liquidity
opportunities to ensure the Company’s continued operations and raising funds through issuance of debt or equity from various potential
investors. However, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will succeed in implementing its plans, or be able to
secure sufficient 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.

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.
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.
E.
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.

As of
December 31 2023
Loan to Parent Company
$ 3,808
$ 3,752
The
balance with the Parent Company represents a balance of an intercompany loan under a loan agreement signed between Gix Media and the
Parent Company on March 22, 2020. 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.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, Gix Media recognized interest income in the amount of $ 39 and $ 21 , respectively.
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 ).
Weighted-average

As
of December 31, 2023, the Company recognized 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 and 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 $ 5,107 . The assessment of impairment loss was not impacted by subsequent events that occurred in April 2024 (see note 10),
which may result in an additional goodwill impairment loss during the second quarter of 2024.

Long
term loan and issuance of warrants:
On
November 15, 2023, Viewbix Israel entered into a Loan Agreement (the “2023 Loan”) with certain lenders (the “Lenders”)
whereby the Lenders provided Viewbix Israel with loans in the aggregate amount of $ 480 , of which, $ 200 was provided by the Ultimate Parent.
In accordance with the terms of the 2023 Loan, the principal amount bears an annual interest at a rate of 9 % and will be repaid over
the course of two years following January 1, 2024 (the “Repayment Period”). During the Repayment Period, for the first 12
months, Viewbix Israel will repay the interest on a quarterly basis and for the remaining 12 months, Viewbix Israel will repay the principal
amount on a quarterly basis (in 4 equal payments) along with the interest. If Viewbix Israel fails to repay all or part of the 2023 Loan
amount, the Lenders have the option to convert the outstanding 2023 Loan amount into shares of Common Stock of the Company.
In
connection with the 2023 Loan, the Company issued to each lender a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “2023 Warrants”).
The 2023 Warrants are exercisable to 480,000 shares, at an exercise price of $ 0.50 per share and will expire and cease to be exercisable
on December 31, 2025 . The Company recorded the 2023 Warrants as an equity instrument.
The
Company allocated the total amount of $ 480 in respect of the warrants issued and the 2023 Loan extended based on their relative fair
values. As a result of the allocation, a discount of $ 55 was attributed as the fair value of the 2023 Warrants. The discount is amortized
over the term of the Loan as finance expense.
The
allocation of the total proceeds of $ 480 to the liability and equity components was as follows:

Share option plan
In
2017, after the completion of Gix Media’s acquisition by the Parent Company, the Parent Company granted options to Gix Media’s
employees. These options entitle the employees to purchase ordinary shares of the Parent Company that are traded on Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
On
March 2, 2023, the Board approved the adoption of the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan permits
the issuance of up to (i) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) an annual increase equal to the lesser of (A) 5 % of the Company’s
outstanding capital stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year; and (B) such smaller amount as determined by the
Board, provided that no more than 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. If any
outstanding awards expire, are canceled or are forfeited, the underlying shares would be available for future grants under the 2023 Plan.
As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company had reserved 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
the 2023 Plan.
The
2023 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock or other stock-based awards, under
various tax regimes, including, without limitation, in compliance with Section 102 and Section 3(i) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance
(New Version) 5271-1961, and for awards granted to United States employees or service providers, including those who are deemed to be
residents of the United States for tax purposes, Section 422 and Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
In
connection with the adoption of the 2023 Plan, on March 7, 2023, the Company entered into certain intercompany reimbursement agreements
with two of its subsidiaries, Viewbix Israel and Gix Media (the “Recharge Agreements”). The Recharge Agreements provide for
the offer of awards under the 2023 Plan to employees or service providers of Viewbix Israel and Gix Media (the “Affiliates”)
under the 2023 Plan. Under the Recharge Agreements, the Affiliates will each bear the costs of awards granted to its employees or its
service providers under the 2023 Plan and will reimburse the Company upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an award,
for the costs of shares issued, but in any event not prior to the vesting of an award. The reimbursement amount will be equal to the
lower of (a) the book expense for such award as recorded on the financial statements of one of the respective Affiliates, determined
and calculated according to U.S. GAAP, or any other financial reporting standard that may be applicable in the future, or (b) the fair
value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of exercise of an option or at the time of vesting of an RSU, as applicable.
On
July 20, 2023, the Company granted 51,020 restricted share units (the “RSUs”) under the 2023 Plan to Gix Media’s CEO,

the grant of RSUs (2) Vesting Commencement Date: July 1, 2023 (3) vesting schedule: 50% of the RSUs will vest immediately upon the Vesting
Commencement Date (the “First Tranche”) and the remaining 50% of the RSUs will vest 12 months after the Vesting Commencement
Date, provided, in each case, that the Grantee remains continuously as a Service Provider (as defined under the 2023 Plan) of Gix Media
or its affiliates throughout each such vesting date (the “Grant”).

9: SEGMENT REPORTING
The
Group operates in two 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.

10: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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.
Following
the Cortex Adverse Effect, the Company and the bank in which Cortex’s and Gix Media’s accounts, credit facilities, and loans
are maintained approved on May 20, 2024 a debt restructuring program pursuant to which, inter alia, the credit lines to Cortex were increased
to 80% of the balance of Cortex’s customers (up to a limit of $ 2 million), as opposed to the 70% limitation imposed prior to the
restructuring program, Gix Media’s monthly revolving credit lines were increased by an additional $ 300 thousand, the Company committed
to perform cost-cutting measures, including a reduction in head count, the Company will raise up to $ 1.25 million by means of issuance
of equity or debt, the covenants under the original loan agreements as of March 31, 2024 were waived and a new covenant, measured by
reference to EBTIDA, was implemented, and a grace in relation to a portion of the monthly loan repayments was given. The debt restructuring
program will be in effect until August 2024, after which it will be renegotiated between the Company and the bank.
