21E of the Exchange Act. Any statements in Annual Report on Form 10-K about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions
or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always,
made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and “would.” For example, statements concerning financial
condition, possible or assumed future results of operations, growth opportunities, industry ranking, plans and objectives of management,
markets for our common stock and future management and organizational structure are all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement.
Any
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed throughout this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections
contained in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to:
●
the
continued demand of digital advertising as an integral part of corporate marketing and internal communications plans and the continued
growth and acceptance of digital advertising as effective alternatives to traditional offline marketing products and service;
●
our
ability to generate enough cash flow to meet our debt obligations or fund our other liquidity needs, and substantial doubt regarding
our ability to continue as a going concern;
●
our
need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult
to obtain and could dilute out shareholders’ ownership interests;
●
our
ability to receive credit facility to fund our operations, at favorable terms, or at all;
●
our
ability to pay our obligations when they become due, including the contemplated debt restructuring program currently under negotiation
with our credit and debtholders;
●
our
subsidiaries’ future performance, including our ability to instill potential measures to assist Gix Media Ltd. (“Gix
Media”), Metagramm Software Ltd. (“Metagramm”) and Quantum X Labs Ltd. (“Quantum”) in mitigating future
economic harm;
●
entry
of new competitors and products, the impact of large and established internet and technology companies and potential technological
obsolescence of our offered platforms; and
3
●
our
ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;
●
changes
in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls and other regulatory requirements and the impact of such policies on us,
our customers and suppliers, and the global economic environment;
●
the
fact that we conduct business in multiple foreign jurisdictions, exposing us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, logistical
and communications challenges, burdens and costs of compliance with foreign laws and political and economic instability in each jurisdiction;
●
adverse
federal, state and local government regulation, in the United States, Europe or Israel and other foreign jurisdictions;
●
political,
economic and military conditions in Israel, including the current security situation in Israel, as well as the war’s potential
impact on our business and operation.
The
foregoing list sets forth some, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking
statements. You should read this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits to
the Annual Report on Form 10-K, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from
what we expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is accurate as of the date hereof.
Because the risk factors referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements.
Further,
any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot
assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate
Information and History
Viewbix
Inc. (the “Registrant”, “Viewbix” or 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”). Our principal executive offices are located
at 3 Hanehoshet St, Building B, 7th floor, Tel Aviv, Israel 6971068. Our website address is https://view-bix.com/ and our telephone number
is + 972 9-774-1505. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this Annual
Report and is not incorporated by reference herein. We have included our website address in this Annual Report solely for informational
purposes. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding
issuers, such as we, that file electronically, with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
On
March 16, 2015, Zaxis and Emerald Medical Applications Ltd., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the State
of Israel (“Emerald Israel”) executed a share exchange agreement, which closed on July 14, 2015, and Emerald Israel became
the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Accordingly, on September 14, 2015, the Company changed its name to Emerald Medical Applications
Corp. 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 May 2, 2018, the District Court
of Lod, Israel issued a winding-up order for Emerald Israel and appointed an Israeli attorney as special executor for Emerald Israel.
On
January 17, 2018, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel, Virtual Crypto Technologies
Ltd. (the “VCT Israel”), to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating and supporting the purchase and/or
sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, personal computers (“PCs”) and/or mobile devices. On February 22, 2018, the
Company’s name was changed from Emerald Medical Applications Corp. to Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. to reflect its new operations
and business focus. On January 27, 2020, VCT Israel was sold to a third party for NIS 50,000 ($14,459).
On
February 7, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) with Gix Internet
Ltd. (formerly known as Algomizer Ltd.), a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Gix Internet” or “parent
company”), pursuant to which, Gix Internet assigned, transferred and delivered 99.83% of its 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 restricted common
stock of the Company, which resulted in Viewbix Israel becoming a subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Recapitalization
Transaction, effective as of July 26, 2019, the Company’s name was changed from Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. to Viewbix Inc.
On
March 24, 2025, we entered into a securities exchange agreement with Metagramm and all of the shareholders of Metagramm (the “Metagramm
Shareholders”) pursuant to which we issued to the Metagramm Shareholders an aggregate of 19.99% of our issued and outstanding capital
stock on a pro rata and post-closing basis, equal to 1,323,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of Metagramm’s issued
and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted and post-closing basis, equal to 718,520 Metagramm ordinary shares. The transaction
closed on March 24, 2025 and resulted in Metagramm becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viewbix.
On
November 9, 2025, Gix Media, Cortex Media Group Ltd. (“Cortex”), and certain founders of Cortex (the “Founders”)
entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Cortex Purchase Agreement”) with Pro Sportority (Israel) Ltd. (the “Pro
Sportority”), a subsidiary of Minute Media Inc. (the “Minute Media”). Pursuant to the Cortex Purchase Agreement, Pro
Sportority acquired from Gix Media all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Cortex held by Gix Media, constituting 80% of Cortex’s
issued and outstanding share capital, and, together with similar agreements entered into with the other shareholders of Cortex and the
cancellation of all outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible securities of the Cortex, which resulted in Pro Sportority owning
100% of Cortex’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis (the “Cortex Sale”). The Cortex Sale
was signed and closed on November 9, 2025. As a result, Cortex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pro Sportority and Cortex ceased being
a majority-owned direct subsidiary of Gix Media and an indirect subsidiary of Viewbix.
5
On
December 15, 2025, we entered into a securities exchange agreement with Quantum and certain of the shareholders of Quantum (the “Quantum
Shareholders”) pursuant to which we agreed to issue to the Quantum Shareholders an aggregate of up to 40.0% of our issued and outstanding
capital stock as of December 15, 2025, inclusive of the 800,000 shares of our common stock issuable by us in a private placement offering
that we entered into in November 2025 (the “Private Placement Shares”), consisting of (i) up to 2,666,000 shares of our common
stock, representing 19.99% of our issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Viewbix Exchange Shares”), inclusive of the
Private Placement Shares, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 4,447,595 shares of our common stock, representing the balance
of up to the 40.0%, as of December 15, 2025, less the Viewbix Exchange Shares, in exchange for up to 100%, but not less than 85%, of
Quantum’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted and post-closing basis, equal to an amount up to 589,319 of Quantum’s
ordinary shares. The transaction closed on March 4, 2026 and resulted in us acquiring 100% of Quantum’s issued and outstanding
share capital on a fully diluted and post-closing basis and Quantum becoming a majority-owned subsidiary of Viewbix.
Business
Overview
Viewbix
Inc. (the “Registrant”, “Viewbix” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries are focused on digital advertising,
quantum technology and computing and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
Our
primary business focus is a digital advertising platform that develops and markets a variety of technological platforms that automate,
optimize and monetize digital online campaigns. Viewbix’s operations were previously focused on analysis of the video marketing
performance of its clients as well as the effectiveness of their messaging (“Video Advertising Platform”). With the Video
Advertising Platform, Viewbix allowed its clients with digital video properties the ability to use its platforms in a way that allows
viewers to engage and interact with the video. The Video Advertising Platform measures when a viewer performs a specific action while
watching a video and collects and reports the results to the client. However, due to the Company’s failure to meet predetermined
sales targets which were set pursuant to the recapitalization transaction with Gix Internet Ltd. in January 2020, the Company determined
to reduce its operations and the size of its sales and R&D team in the Digital Advertising Platform.
The
Company, through its subsidiary, Gix Media Ltd. (“Gix Media”), is focused on digital advertising operations for ad search
(the “Search Platform”). Gix Media develops and markets a variety of technological software solutions that automate, optimize
and monetize online campaigns. These technological tools enable advertisers and website owners to earn more from their advertising campaigns
and generate additional profits from their sites. Through the Search Platform, the Company provides services to leading search engines
worldwide (“Search Engines”) by developing, marketing and distributing software products to internet users. The operations
and activity on this platform are powered by Gix Media.
As
of November 2025, in addition to Gix Media’s Search Platform, the Company, through a previous majority-owned subsidiary of Gix
Media, Cortex, operated a digital content platform, which produced engaging content and marketing material in various languages to
various target audiences, in order to generate revenues from advertisements displayed together with the content, which are posted on
digital content, marketing and advertising platforms. Following the Cortex Sale (as defined below), the Company only operates the
Search Platform and Cortex is presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For additional information, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Sale of Cortex”.
The
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quantum, is focused on developing and promoting quantum algorithms for the transportation,
drug discovery and security segments as well as developing quantum-based GPS replacement and quantum atom accuracy solutions. Quantum
currently owns and operates six portfolio-companies, each dealing with a different quantum segment and challenge. Quantum’s proprietary
intellectual property portfolio, including an innovative patent in quantum error correction, sub-licensed in collaboration with Ramot,
the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University, addresses critical challenges in noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices by
enabling efficient, real-time decoding of surface code errors—reducing computational overhead by up to 50% compared to traditional
methods and supporting scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.
6
The
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Metagramm, is focused on AI and natural language processing (NLP) communication-based solutions.
Metagramm specializes in developing advanced writing assistance tools that leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural
language processing technologies. Metagramm’s main product, “Bubbl” is a writing tool designed to provide personalized
and customized text tailored to the user’s unique expression and can translate various languages into English. Metagramm licenses
its products on a subscription basis to businesses and individual customers.
Digital
Advertising - Viewbix
Search
Platform
Gix
Media’s Search Platform allows for the referral of user traffic (i.e., searches that are performed by internet users) to Search
Engines, such as Yahoo and Bing, where the Search Engines display the ads of their customers. The Search Engines pay Gix Media for the
searches that were referred by it, based on the amount of consideration that the Search Engine receives from the advertisers for the
user traffic generated, less a certain percentage from the revenues attributed to the Search Engine. Since the customers of Gix Media
are the Search Engines, and not the advertisers, Gix Media recognizes revenues for the actual amount received from the Search Engines,
and not from the advertisement revenue itself.
The
referral of user traffic by Gix Media to the Search Engines is possible after users download Gix Media’s products, which are browser
add-ons, usually from the browser stores (mostly Google Chrome browsers) and by downloading desktop software products, free of charge,
for the Apple operating system (for Mac computers) and for the Microsoft operating system (for PC computers). When downloading Gix Media’s
products, the users grant permission to Gix Media to refer the searches performed while using Gix Media’s products to the Search
Engines.
Gix
Media also provides traffic referral services to Search Engines through the referral of traffic of users who engage search ads generated
by Gix Media, or the “Search to Search” model. These ads are displayed on SERP’s Search Engines’ result pages
(SERP) that are purchased by the Company from other Search Engines (such as Yahoo! Bing / Microsoft Ads and Google). When such user clicks
on these search ads, Gix Media refers the user to a paid offering from a Search Engine which contains ads that are related to the initial
ad made by Gix Media (the Company buys ad space from Search Engines and sell them to other search ads while profiting from the price
difference).
7
Business
Model
The
Search Platform is operated through two models, direct and indirect:
Direct
Model
Gix
Media operates its Search Platform using a direct model whereby it refers searches that are conducted by users of its products, which
are thereafter distributed to Search Engines directly by Gix Media.
Additionally,
through the direct model Gix Media operates its Search to Search model and provides traffic referral services to the Search Engines through
the referral of traffic of users who engage search ads generated by Gix Media.
The
revenues generated by Gix Media from the Search Platform applying this model, constituted approximately 98% and 64% of the total revenues
of Gix Media for the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, through the date of the Cortex Sale, revenues generated by Cortex from the Content Platform are entirely
from the direct model.
Indirect
Model
Gix
Media also operates its Search Platform using an indirect model, whereby it refers searches that are conducted by users of products developed
by third party strategic partners (in contrast to users of its own products as conducted through the direct model), which are thereafter
distributed to Search Engines by Gix Media. Gix Media engages with strategic partners who have similar products and allow these strategic
partners to integrate Gix Media’s technological tools into their own products in order to refer searches conducted by resulting
users to the customers of Gix Media. Using this model, Gix Media shares revenues received from Search Engines with its strategic partners.
The
revenues generated by Gix Media from the Search Platform applying this model, constituted approximately 2% and 37% of the total revenues
of Gix Media for the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Growth
Strategy
●
Growth
through Mergers and Acquisitions. We continue to identify attractive opportunities, such as our acquisition of Quantum, and examine
different options to perform additional acquisitions. We will focus on companies that operate in emerging industries and which present
considerable commercial potential. We believe that we can expand our footprint in our industry through mergers and acquisitions,
which will also lead to the recruitment of additional human capital thereby supporting existing and new customer needs.
●
Expansion
of Product Range, Search Platform. In 2026, we intend to focus on the expansion of our product range by the development and distribution
of new products in attractive yet related sectors. In particular we intend to focus on new products for the Search to Search model
and Indirect Model.
●
Expansion
of Quantum Business Unit. We are expanding, and intend to continue to expand, our quantum computing initiatives by advancing
the development and commercialization of our quantum technologies and related applications. We plan to increase investment in research
and development, enhance our technical infrastructure, and broaden our engagement with enterprise, academic and governmental partners
to accelerate adoption across targeted industries and verticals. In addition, we expect to pursue strategic collaborations and platform
integrations designed to expand market reach, support product deployment and drive technological innovation within the evolving quantum
ecosystem.

Products
and Services
Search
Platform
●
Add-ons
to internet browser (referral of searches directly and indirectly) . Internet users download free browser add-ons, usually from
browser stores. These browser add-ons enhance browser capabilities when activated by the user, and offer users services such as file
converters, video players, radio players, games, safe internet usage, different designs of backgrounds, different calculators and
more. In addition, these add-ons allow us to refer the searches of these users to the customers of the Search Engines.
●
Desktop
and mobile apps (referral of searches directly and indirectly). Free software products for Apple and PC computers provide users
services similar to the add-ons of the internet browsers. After the users download these software products, they grant permission
to us to refer the searches performed on these products to the Search Engines.
●
Searches
to Search (referral of searches directly) . The process of referring searches to Search Engines starts with the purchase of search
results ads on Search Engines’ result pages (such as Yahoo!, Bing, Microsoft Ads and Google). The ad will offer the user a link
to receive information or content on a certain subject. Users who click these ads will be directed to the result page of the Search Engine
that displays relevant content from the Search Engines, based on the search terms related to the search result ad. This process involves
acquiring search result ads that appear on Search Engines’ results pages in response to relevant user queries. The monetization
process of the “Search to Search” activities of Gix Media occurs through advertising on Search Engines, where the generated
user traffic is directed to search result ads on other Search Engines’ result pages, creating a cycle of buying and selling search-based
advertisements. of ad buying and selling.
Stage
A: Search result ads purchased by Gix Media are displayed on a Search Engine’s result page.
9
○
Stage
B: Search results are displayed to the user after the user clicked the ad content.
When
purchasing these search result ads, we receive assistance from Search Ads, a system that we developed for the purpose of managing the
purchase process. These self-designed systems will then find an optimal combination designed to yield maximum profits at a given time
in relation to specified variables, such as: the costs of the ad space, the payment that we will receive as a result of user traffic
that was referred by our content ads on this ad space, the amount of available user traffic for the different search terms and the click
percentage of each such search. In addition, our self-designed system can also stop a purchase and change prices for the purpose of maximizing
performance.
Search
Systems:
The
technological backbones of our Search Platform involve the following key systems:
●
Online
campaign management . This system runs various platforms and includes modules for measurement of campaign performance, Business
Intelligence (“BI”) tools, and general management of campaigns for different customers. The system enables optimization
and automation of internet campaigns by data and recommendations provided by the BI system. These systems are based on predictive
models that were developed by Gix Media.
●
Optimization
systems . Gix Media developed systems which are used for the optimization of the appearance of the content displayed to users,
including landing pages and the creation of landing pages. This system periodically analyzes and assesses the effectiveness of the
content displayed to users. These systems extract and analyze data from our intelligence and fraud detection systems and automatically
recommend the most effective and efficient content in real- time.
●
Fraud
detection system . This system detects, through the use of an algorithm, fraud attempts to flood our systems with misinformation,
including, for example, misinformation regarding the installation attempts of browser add-ons.
●
Proprietary
BI system . This system was developed by Gix Media and includes three layers:
(i)
Infrastructure.
This layer allows transmission of statistical data regarding various events according to certain criteria and/or requirements set
by us, including: performance of online searches, performance of any action on ads, performance of an installation, etc. The infrastructure
collects a wide variety of background data on any event and dozens of parameters that are registered and collected (while complying
with privacy protection laws that apply to our operations), which allows the performance of business and technical optimizations.
(ii)
Data
processing and storage. This layer allows us to process the big-data we gather on our platforms and to divide such data into interim
tables based on different parameters. This stage is performed daily, by a tool that was developed by Gix Media. Vast amount of data
is accumulated on a daily basis, which requires a secure, easy to access storage that can be cost-effectively analyzed thereafter.
For this purpose, Gix Media uses a combination of in-house technology and external tools of leading companies, such as Microsoft
and Google.
(iii)
Data
presentation. This layer presents the data to Gix Media’s customers in an easy, fast, and convenient manner, while combining
other layers of information and integrating statistical models that were developed by Gix Media. The presentation tool that we use
is Sisense, a popular BI platform, which is a tool used by leading companies in the industry around the world and ranked highly by
the Gartner Company.
10
The
BI system allows us to have real time control over critical events occurring on our systems by sending alerts directly to our employees
with the relevant information, including assistance to customers in purchasing media, reports about malfunctions and the discovery of
any irregular online behavior. In addition, the BI system also sends automated reports to us and to our different partners (providers/customers),

12
Competition
The
competition in the digital advertising market is fierce. There are many players in all areas of the market: both a large number of advertisers
and content owners, a large number of software products and algorithms, many advertising platforms and technologies. New players appear
frequently in all of these areas. We compete with many companies that offer solutions for advertisers and website owners, including in
the pillar of ad search, and with tools that allow internet users to change the default search settings on their browsers. There is a
large number of ad search companies that offer services that are similar to those provided by us. Our products compete on limited budgets
of advertisers and on an inventory of ad spaces from website owners. Some of our competitors are companies that are considerably bigger
than the Company with considerably higher budgets, such as Google, Meta, and Microsoft. Since a major part of the Company’s revenues
is generated from a supply of searches, the Company also competes with the providers of the Search Engines themselves, such as Google,
Microsoft, IAC and Verizon Media. Many of the present and potential competitors of the Company have financial, R&D, analytical systems,
production resources and sales and marketing systems that are significantly larger in scope than those of the Company.
Search
Platform
As
of the date of this Annual Report, there are companies that develop different types of software products which enable, in a partial manner,
the performance of some of the actions performed by Gix Media’s Search Platform. There is intense competition in the digital advertising
market, and Gix Media has many competitors from various fields. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company cannot estimate its
size and positioning compared to its other competitors and its size in the ad search market. Our main competitors in this market include:
Ironsource, Perion, FireArc, Spigot, IAC and AOL.
Competition
Management
We
focus our competition management on developing advanced technological tools and receive updates from time to time regarding new technologies
that can be used to gain an advantage against our competitors. We also maintain high-quality and professional human capital with many

continue to keep a critical mass of customers that will allow us to continue and promote its products and tools, and all in conformance
to the requirements and the existing and future platforms in the market.
Industry
Trends and Seasonality
The
digital advertising market is generally not materially affected by seasonality. Nevertheless, there is a seasonality trend reflected
during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year that is characterized by a higher volume of activity compared to the average, while the
first quarter is characterized by a lower volume of activity compared to the average. In general, advertising campaigns are performed
throughout the year in high intensity, and therefore the phenomenon of seasonality is not material in this market.
This
seasonality stems, among others, from changes in the major advertising budgets, usually towards the end of each quarter, and even more
so towards the end of each year. In addition, the last quarter of the year includes many events and dates that lead to an increase in
the advertisement budgets and in the volume of online traffic.
Intellectual
Property and Other Proprietary Rights
Our
commercial success depends, in part, on obtaining and maintaining patent and other intellectual property protection, in the United States
and internationally, for the technologies used in our products. We cannot be sure that any of our patents will be commercially useful
in protecting our technology. Our commercial success also depends in part on our non-infringement of the patents or proprietary rights
of third parties. The patent positions can be highly uncertain and involve complex and evolving legal and factual questions.
13
We
also protect our proprietary technology and processes, in part, by confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees,
consultants, scientific advisors and other contractors. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any
breach. We also rely on trade secrets to protect our product candidates. However, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be
independently discovered by competitors. To the extent that our employees, consultants, scientific advisors or other contractors use
intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and
inventions.
Product
Development
Gix
Media focuses its R&D efforts in the Search Platform on improving existing products and their technologies, and on continuing the
development and optimization of the inter-organizational systems used in its activity.
During
the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total R&D expenses of the Company in the Search Platform, through Gix
Media, were $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
We
estimate that during the twelve months following the date of this Annual Report, we will invest a total amount of approximately $4.3
million in R&D expenses in the Quantum business unit, primarily to enhance technologies in this unit as well as our existing services
on the Search Platform.
Government
Regulation
Our
ability, and the ability of other marketing technology companies, to collect, augment, analyze, use, process and share data relies upon
the ability to uniquely identify devices across websites and applications, and to collect data about user interactions with those devices
for purposes such as serving relevant ads and measuring the effectiveness of ads. The processes used to identify devices are governed
by U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and are dependent upon their implementation within the industry ecosystem. Such laws, regulations,
and industry standards change frequently, including those relating to the level of consumer notice, consent and/or choice required when
a company uses data for certain purposes, including advertising, or employs cookies or other electronic tools to collect data about interactions
with users online. Legislators and Regulators around the world have adopted or proposed requirements regarding the collection, use, transfer,
security, storage, destruction, and other processing of personal data, and regarding the use of analytic tools, tracking technologies
and cookies
We
may be subject to a number of U.S. federal and state laws and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business
on the internet. The manner in which existing laws and regulations will be applied to the internet in general, and how they will relate
to our business in particular remain unclear and subject to change. Accordingly, we cannot be certain how existing laws will be interpreted
or how they will evolve in areas such as user privacy, data protection, content, use of “cookies,” access changes, “net
neutrality,” pricing, advertising, distribution of “spam,” intellectual property, distribution, protection of minors,
consumer protection, taxation and online payment services.
For
example, in the United States various federal laws have been passed, imposing obligations regarding the processing of personal data.
This trend began with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) which came into force on 1 January 2020. Since then, several
US states have passed similar privacy laws regulating the processing of personal data. The most recent data privacy legislation includes
the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (“DPDPA”), the Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act (“ICDPA”), the Nebraska
Consumer Data Privacy Act (“NCDPA”), the New Hampshire Privacy Act (NHPA”) and the New Jersey Data Privacy Act (“NJDPA”),
all of which came into effect on January 1, 2025. This laws and others like them create numerous obligations for the businesses and service
providers as well as rights for data subjects and individuals. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), which aims
to reduce the liability of online service providers in certain situations if their users engage in copyright infringement, and other
federal laws, for example Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule that restrict online service providers’ collection of
user data on minors as well as distribution of materials deemed harmful to minors. In many respects, these state laws focus on advertising
activities, mandating that businesses that engage in certain advertising uses of consumer personal data to offer and honor an opt-out
of such activities, including, in some states, through browser or device-based preference signals. These state privacy laws also provide
consumers other rights, such as to access, correct or delete their personal data (subject to certain limitations), opt out of certain
processing of their personal data, and impose special rules on the collection of data from minors, as well as transparency and data governance
obligations. Additionally, various states have in recent years passed laws containing registration and transparency requirements for
data brokers and other requirements. Such a wide range of obligations under privacy and related legislation and regulation could increase
our potential liability and adversely affect our business. Furthermore, there are also a number of legislative proposals pending before
the U.S. Congress and various state legislative bodies concerning various data protection topics, including, privacy, children data,
data brokers, which could affect us. Several federal laws such as the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing
(“CAN-SPAM”) Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) or the Federal Trade Commission
(“FTC”) Act could also be applicable to some of our activities.
14
The
interpretation of data protection laws and related laws and regulations, and their application to the internet, is unclear and in a state
of flux. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted and applied in conflicting ways and in a manner that is not consistent with
our current data protection or business practices.
These
complex laws may be implemented, interpreted, or enforced in a non-uniform or inconsistent way across jurisdictions, and we may not be
aware of every development that impacts our business. These laws may also require us to make additional changes to our services in order
for us or our customers to comply with such legal requirements. It may also increase our potential liability as a result of higher potential
penalties for non-compliance and could reduce our ability to gather personal data used in the context of our services. As a consequence
of these new laws, our customers could require us to take on more onerous obligations in our contracts and restrict our ability to store,
transfer and process personal data. In some cases, it may impact our ability, or our customers’ ability to, offer our services
in certain locations, to deploy our solutions, to reach current and prospective customers, or to derive insights from data globally.
Foreign
data protection, privacy and other laws and regulations may affect our business, and such laws can be more restrictive than those in
the United States. For example, in Israel, the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 (and the regulations thereunder, together, the “Israeli
Privacy Protection Law”) impose obligations regarding processing, transferring and securing of personal data, such as the requirement
to properly notify data subjects, prior to collecting their personal data, regarding the nature and purposes of the collection and use
of their personal data and whether the provision of such data is a legal requirement or subject to their free will and consent; the requirement
to obtain valid informed consent from data subjects prior to collecting and using their personal data; conditions with respect to transfer
of personal data outside Israeli borders; conditions and restrictions regarding the use of any personal data for direct mailing; obligations
to meet certain data subject rights (such as access, rectification and deletion right; as well as data security obligations under Privacy
Protection Regulations (Data Security) 2017. In addition, in 2023, the Privacy Protection Regulations (Provisions Regarding Information
Transferred to Israel from the European Economic Area), 2023 (“EU Regulations”) were enacted and consequently provide, in
certain cases, additional rights to data subjects from the EEA and Israel.
Lack
of compliance with the Israeli Privacy Protection Law could result in enforcement actions, litigation (including class actions), fines
and penalties. Material amendment to the Israeli Privacy Protection Law was approved by the Israeli Parliament in August 2024 and will
take effect on August 14, 2025 (“Amendment 13”). Among other things, Amendment 13 expands the Privacy Protection Authority
investigation authority and the monetary sanctions that can be imposed for breach of the Israeli Privacy Protection Law, to substantial
amounts that may reach in certain cases millions of NIS.
In
the European Union, similar data protection rules exist, as well as privacy legislation restricting the use of cookies and similar technologies
(for example, the ePrivacy Directive discussed below). According to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), of personal
data is only allowed on condition that the data subject has given his or her informed consent, or that a different legal basis for such
processing or collection exists and justifies the processing of the personal data in question. Moreover, the GDPR, has a wide territorial
scope, as well as a broad definition of personal data which may include geolocation data and online identifiers, the collection and processing
of which imposes more stringent legal requirements. Further, the GDPR includes stringent operational, legal and administrative requirements
for companies that process personal data and contains significant penalties for non-compliance. These laws and regulations generally
define personal data to include location data and online identifiers, which are commonly used and collected parameters in digital advertising
and, among other things, impose stringent user consent requirements and permit data subjects to request we discontinue using certain
data. In addition, some countries are considering or have enacted legislation requiring local storage and processing of data that could
increase the cost and complexity of delivering our services. In addition, new European initiatives have been announced by the European
legislators and regulators relating to, or that could impact cybersecurity, e-commerce, non-personal data, copyright, artificial intelligence
or cookies and tracking technologies. Notable recent initiatives include the Digital Operational Resilience Act (“DORA”)
applicable as of 17 January 2025 or the Data Act, whose obligations will mostly be applicable from September 2025 onwards.
15
Additionally,
in the EU, the EU Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC), commonly referred to as the ePrivacy or Cookie Directive,
directs EU member states to ensure that accessing data on an internet user’s computer, such as through a cookie and other similar
technologies, is allowed only if the internet user has been informed about such access, and provided consent. A replacement for the ePrivacy
Directive is currently under discussion by EU member states to complement and bring electronic communication services in line with the
GDPR and force a harmonized approach across EU member states. Although it remains under debate, the proposed ePrivacy Regulation may
further raise the bar for the use of cookies, and the fines and penalties for breach may be significant and could affect our services,
business and revenues. We cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business.
In
addition, the U.K.’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “UK GDPR”), imposes robust obligations for the collection,
control, use, sharing, disclosure and other processing of personal data and contains documentation and accountability requirements for
data protection compliance, as well as similar requirements and obligations as those included in the EU GDPR. Both the EU GDPR and the
UK GDPR expose us to similar fines and may subject us to increased compliance risk based on differing, and potentially inconsistent or
conflicting interpretation and enforcement by regulators and authorities (particularly, if the laws are amended in the future in divergent
ways). Failure to comply with these obligations can result in significant fines and other liability under applicable law. In particular,
under the GDPR, fines of up to EUR 20 million (or GBP 17.5 million under the UK GDPR) or up to 4% of the annual global revenue of the
noncompliant company, whichever is greater, could be imposed for violations of certain of the GDPR’s requirements. The GDPR requirements
apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of data between us and our subsidiaries, including employee data and
other forms of company data such as marketing data, CRM data, or candidate data.
Data
privacy legislation restricts the cross-border transfer of personal data. Specifically, the GDPR, and the U.K. GDPR, generally prohibit
the transfer of personal data from the Europe and U.K., to third countries unless the transfer is to an entity established in a country
deemed to provide adequate protection (such as Israel or the U.K.) or the parties to the transfer have implemented specific safeguards
to protect the transferred personal data, such as the EU or UK Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) or a certification under
the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”). The European Data Protection Board (“EDPB”) released a comment on the
supplementary measures that companies may use to ensure an ‘EU level’ of data protection - such as conducting impact assessment
for data transfers, which assess the use of SCCs on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the legal regime applicable in the destination
country, and in particular applicable surveillance laws and rights of individuals as well as considering additional technical and organizational
measures and/or contractual provisions that may be needed to be put in place. On June 4, 2021, the European Commission issued a new set
of SCCs under the GDPR for data transfers. These modernized SCCs replace the three sets of SCCs that were adopted under the previous
Data Protection Directive 95/46. In addition, on February 2, 2022, the Secretary of State of the U.K. laid before the Parliament the
international data transfer agreement (IDTA) and the international data transfer addendum to the European Commission’s standard
contractual clauses for international data transfers (Addendum), which came into force on March 21, 2022, following Parliamentary approval.
Contracts involving data processing which are based on the old EU SCCs and concluded on or before September 21, 2022, continued to provide
appropriate safeguards under the U.K. GDPR until March 21, 2024. In some jurisdictions like the EU, UK and Israel, the law and guidance
on data transfers is rapidly developing and recent developments will require us to review and may require us to amend or supplement the
legal mechanisms by which we make and/or receive personal data transfers.
On
November 1, 2022, the Digital Markets Act, (the “DMA”), entered into force and on November 16, 2022, the Digital Services
Act (the “DSA”), followed. For the DSA, most provisions became applicable on February 17, 2024. The DSA and the DMA focus
on creating a safer digital space, protecting fundamental rights of all users of digital services, and establishing a level playing field
for businesses and consumers with regards to online platforms. As further guidance is issued and interpretation of both the DSA and the
DMA evolves, it is difficult to assess the impact of the DSA and DMA on our business or operations, but, to the extent applicable, it
may require us to modify our practices and policies and we could incur substantial costs as a result.
16
Because
our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, including
in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees or infrastructure.
Furthermore,
new laws and regulations (including privacy and AI) pose additional and new risks, including, without limitation, data privacy and security
risks. Threats could include potential data leaks, social engineering attacks, and decision-making based on manipulated information.
Growing regulatory requirements for information security and data protection add to the challenge (whether related to privacy or data
protection or not, such as those related to AI, data, or digital services). Moreover, attackers may leverage AI and exploit vulnerabilities
in AI systems.
These
laws and regulations result in significant compliance costs and could result in restricting the growth and profitability of the Company’s
business by impeding the development of new services. The cost of complying with existing or new data privacy or data protection laws
and regulations may limit our ability to gather the personal data needed to provide our services. It could negatively impact the use
or adoption of our services, reduce overall demand for our services, make it more difficult for us to meet expectations from or commitments
to our clients, lead to significant fines, penalties, or liabilities for noncompliance, or impact our reputation, any of which could
harm our business.
We
may incur substantial fines if we violate any laws or regulations relating to the collection or use of personal data. Our actual or alleged
failure to comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations, and policies, or to protect personal data, could result
in enforcement actions and significant penalties against us, which could result in negative publicity and costs, subject us to claims
or other remedies, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “ Item
1.A Risk Factors - Risks Related to Data Protection Regulation ,” for further information.

Industry
Overview and Market Opportunity
According
to Markets and Markets, the quantum computing market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to be $ 5.3 billion by 2029,
growing at a CAGR of 32.7% from 2024 to 2029. The growth of the quantum computing market is driven by several key factors, most notably
the transformative potential of quantum computers to significantly outperform classical systems in specific applications, particularly
in computationally intensive tasks such as large-number factorization and accurate simulation of quantum systems. This enhanced capability
is driving demand across industries seeking more powerful solutions to complex problems.
According
to a June 2025 report by McKinsey & Co. titled The Year of Quantum: From concept to reality in 2025 , the three principal areas
of quantum technology—quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing— could together generate up to $97 billion
in revenue worldwide by 2035, with quantum computing having the potential to be worth $28 billion to $72 billion, quantum communication
having the potential to be worth $11 billion to $15 billion, and quantum sensing having the potential to be worth $7 billion to $10 billion.
McKinsey further predicts that by 2040, the total quantum technology market could reach $198 billion.
According
to a July 2024 report by Boston Consulting Group titled Quantum Computing On Track to Create Up to $850 Billion of Economic Value
By 2040 , quantum computing will create $450 billion to $850 billion of economic value globally, sustaining a $90 billion to $170
billion market for hardware and software providers by 2040. Further, despite a 50% drop in overall tech investments, quantum computing
attracted $1.2 billion from venture capitalists in 2023, underscoring continued investor confidence in its future. Governments around
the world are also making big investments in the technology, envisioning a future in which quantum computing plays a central role in
national security and economic growth.
Quantum
computing has potential applications across a range of industries are increasingly viewed by governments and industry participants as
strategic national assets, comparable in importance to artificial intelligence, semiconductors and space systems. Several governments
have made significant long-term public investments to support the development and deployment of quantum technologies, including a £2.5
billion, 10-year National Quantum Strategy announced by the United Kingdom in 2024, the European Union’s €1 billion Quantum
Flagship program, and multi-billion-dollar national quantum initiatives in the United States, China, Japan and Canada. These initiatives
reflect a broad policy view that leadership in quantum technologies is important for national security, secure communications and strategic
technological independence.
19
In
optimization, quantum algorithms may enable more efficient solutions to complex problems, including supply chain management, financial
modeling, and manufacturing processes. In simulation, quantum systems can be used to model molecular and material behavior, which may
support research in areas such as drug discovery and materials science. In machine learning, quantum-based techniques may enhance data
analysis, pattern recognition, and predictive modeling across sectors including finance, healthcare, and autonomous systems.
The
quantum computing market is expected to develop over time as a result of continued investment in research and development, collaboration
between established technology companies and emerging providers, and ongoing advancements in quantum hardware and software. As the technology
matures, quantum computing may enable new computational approaches that are not achievable with classical systems and may support innovation
across multiple industries.
Key
Application Areas
Quantum
technologies are expected to impact multiple industry verticals, although many applications remain at early stages of commercialization.
● Cybersecurity.
Large-scale quantum computers may in the future be capable of breaking widely used public-key
encryption systems. As a result, data intercepted today could potentially be decrypted in
the future (“store now, decrypt later”). Governments and enterprises are therefore
beginning to transition toward post-quantum cryptography (“PQC”). The U.S. government
has established a target of migrating federal systems to PQC by 2035, which is driving near-term
demand for quantum-resistant security solutions, independent of the timeline for practical
large-scale quantum computers.
● Navigation
and sensing in contested environments. Quantum sensing and inertial navigation technologies
enable positioning, navigation and timing without reliance on GPS and may operate in environments
subject to jamming or spoofing. These capabilities are viewed as strategically important
for defense, space, maritime and critical infrastructure applications, where system resilience
and operational continuity are required.
● Chemistry,
materials and energy. Classical computers face limitations in accurately simulating complex
quantum systems at scale. Quantum computing has the potential to enable faster discovery
of new materials and catalysts, improve battery and energy storage design and reduce research
and development timelines and costs. These applications are widely considered among the largest
long-term commercial opportunities for quantum computing.
● Life
sciences and pharmaceuticals. Quantum-enhanced computation may improve molecular simulation,
accelerate drug discovery and enable more accurate modeling of biological systems. While
these applications remain largely experimental, pharmaceutical companies and research institutions
are actively exploring pilot use cases.
● Manufacturing,
transportation and supply chains. Optimization problems in logistics, scheduling and
production planning can become computationally intensive for classical systems as scale increases.
Quantum-based approaches seek to improve efficiency, reduce operational and energy costs
and support real-time decision-making in complex systems.
Despite
increasing investment and research activity, many quantum technologies remain at an early stage of technical maturity, and the timing
and extent of their commercial adoption remain uncertain.

Intellectual
Property
Quantum
X Labs’ ability to protect its intellectual property is paramount to our business. Quantum X Labs relies upon a combination of
protections afforded to owners of patents, designs, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks, along with employee and third-party nondisclosure
agreements and other contractual restrictions to establish and protect Quantum X Labs’ intellectual property rights. In addition,
industry know-how and unpatented trade secrets in the fields of research, development and engineering are an important aspect of its
business by ensuring that its technology and strategic business assets remain confidential. Quantum X Labs pursues patent protection
when it develops a patentable invention and the benefits of obtaining a patent outweigh the risks of making the invention public through
patent filings.
Quantum’s
Quantum X Labs’ proprietary intellectual property portfolio includes an innovative patent in quantum error correction, sub-licensed
in collaboration with Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University.
Competition
The
quantum technology and computing market is highly competitive and rapidly evolving, with participants ranging from large, well-capitalized
multinational technology companies, such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Intel, to emerging startups and academic spin-offs, such
as IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave, PsiQuantum, and Quantinuum. We compete with organizations developing quantum computing hardware,
quantum software platforms, and quantum-enabled services, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical, and personnel
resources than we do. Competition is primarily based on technological performance, scalability, reliability, intellectual property, ecosystem
partnerships, and the ability to attract and retain specialized talent. We also face competition from classical computing solutions that
continue to improve and may address certain use cases targeted by quantum technologies.
Government
Regulation
Our
operations are subject to a variety of laws and regulations in Israel and in other jurisdictions in which we operate or conduct business,
including those relating to export controls, data protection and privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, employment, and government
funding and procurement. In particular, certain quantum technologies may be subject to Israeli export control and defense regulations,
as well as U.S. and other foreign export control regimes, which could restrict our ability to collaborate with international partners,
share technical information, or commercialize our products in certain markets. We may also be subject to regulations applicable to cryptographic
technologies, cloud-based services, and government-sponsored research and development programs. Compliance with these regulatory frameworks
may increase our operating costs, require modifications to our business practices, and limit certain commercial opportunities.

consulting tasks for Viewbix, Gix Media, Metagramm or Quantum. None of our employees are members of a union or subject to the terms of
a collective bargaining agreement.
21
We
believe that our future success will depend, in part, on our continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel. In particular,
we depend on the skills, experience and performance of our senior management and customer service and research personnel. We compete
for qualified personnel with other ad-tech companies.
The
success of our business is fundamentally connected to the well-being of our people. Accordingly, we are committed to the environmental,
health and safety of our employees (EHS). The keys to our EHS success are a workforce that is engaged and a management team who supports
and invests in employees’ wellbeing.
We
consider our employees to be a key factor to our success and we are focused on attracting and retaining the best employees at all levels
of our business. We employ people based on relevant qualifications, demonstrated skills, performance and other job-related factors. We
do not tolerate unlawful discrimination related to employment, and strive to ensure that employment decisions related to recruitment,
selection, evaluation, compensation, and development, among others, are not influenced by race, color, religion, gender, age, ethnic
origin, nationality, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability. We are committed to creating a trusting environment where all
ideas are welcomed and employees feel comfortable and empowered to draw on their unique experiences and backgrounds.
We
consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Employment
Agreements
Our
non-executive employees are employed under written employment agreements, based on global monthly salary or on an hourly basis. Some
employees receive base salaries and commissions contingent on targets based on the position they fill. The terms of employment generally
include senior employees’ insurance or a pension fund, study fund, loss of working capacity insurance, vacation days and recuperation
pay. The Company may participate in employees’ car and mobile phone expenses, under the conditions set out in their individual
employment agreements, and also reimburses certain business expenses. The employment agreements are generally for an unlimited period
of time and each side is entitled to terminate the agreement with advance notice. Our employment agreements also include an undertaking
of confidentiality and non-competition by our employees.
The
Company’s employees’ employment terms are generally subject to the terms and conditions of the compensation policy of Gix
Internet, our parent company.

Summary
Risk Factors
Our
business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors”
immediately following this summary. These risks include, among others, the following:
Risks
Associated with Our Business and Industry
●
Our
success depends, in part, upon the continued demand of digital advertising as an integral part of corporate marketing and internal
communications plans and the continued growth and acceptance of digital advertising as effective alternatives to traditional offline
marketing products and services.
●
Online
platform updates, including operating systems, search engines, browsers and social media might affect our ability to generate revenues,
temporarily or permanently.
●
Should
the providers of internet browsers, advertisement platforms and Search Engines further regulate, constrain or limit our ability to
offer digital advertising platforms, or materially change their guidelines, technology or the way they operate, our ability to generate
revenue from advertising could be significantly reduced.
●
We
depend on supply sources to provide us with advertising inventory in order for us to deliver advertising campaigns in a cost-effective
manner.
●
A
significant portion of our revenue is concentrated with one customer.
●
Our

privacy and data collection and protection, and uncertainties regarding the application or interpretation of existing or newly adopted
laws and regulations, could harm our business and subject us to significant legal liability for non-compliance.
●
We
rely on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver our mobile and web applications our customers, and
any disruption of, or interference with, our use of those services could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and customers; and
●
As
the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence evolves, including with respect to unintentional bias and discrimination, our
business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Risks
Related to Our Investment in Quantum Computing
●
Quantum
X Labs is an early-stage company and has a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast its future results of
operations.
●
Quantum
X Labs may not be able to scale its business quickly enough to meet customer and market demand, which could adversely affect its
financial condition and results of operations or cause us to fail to execute on its business strategies.
●
Quantum
X Labs’ estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.
●
Even
if the market in which Quantum X Labs competes achieves the forecasted growth, its business could fail to grow at similar rates,
if at all.
●
The
quantum computing and networking industry is in its early stages and volatile
●
Quantum
X Labs is highly dependent on its key employees who have specialized knowledge, and its ability to attract and retain senior management
and other key employees is critical to its success.
●
If
Quantum X Labs is unable to obtain and maintain effective intellectual property rights for its products, Quantum X Labs may not be
able to compete effectively in its markets.
24
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
●
Raising
additional capital or the issuance of additional equity securities would cause dilution to our existing shareholders and may affect
the rights of existing shareholders or the market price of our ordinary shares.
●
The
availability of a large number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may, upon their issuance and sale, lead to dilution
of existing stockholders or adversely affect the market.
●
If
we fail to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum listing requirements, our common stock will be subject to delisting. Our ability
to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if our common stock
delisted.
●
Our
share price has fluctuated significantly and could continue to fluctuate significantly.
●
Delaware
law contains provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company, prevent attempts to replace or
remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Risks
Related to our Operations in Israel
●
Conditions
in Israel, including Israel’s conflicts with Hamas and other parties in the region, as well as political and economic instability,
may impede our ability to operate and harm our financial results.
●
Exchange
rate fluctuations between foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar may negatively affect our earnings.
●
It
may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court against us, our officers and directors or the Israeli experts named in our
reports filed with the SEC in Israel or the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on
our officers and directors and these experts.
Risks
Associated with Our Business and Industry
Our
success depends, in part, upon the continued demand of digital advertising as an integral part of corporate marketing and internal communications
plans and the continued growth and acceptance of digital content as effective alternatives to traditional offline marketing products
and services.
We
provide digital advertising platforms. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our platforms. If the demand for digital advertising
does not continue to grow or customers do not embrace our platforms, this could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.
Our
success also depends, in part, on our ability to compete for a share of available advertising/marketing expenditures as more traditional
offline and emerging media companies continue to enter the digital advertising market, as well as on the continued growth and acceptance
of digital advertising generally. If for any reason digital advertising is not perceived as effective (relative to traditional advertising),
web browsers, software programs and/or other applications that limit or prevent advertising from being displayed become commonplace and/or
the industry fails to effectively manage click fraud, the market for digital advertising will be negatively impacted. Any lack of growth
in the market for digital advertising could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Online
platform updates, including operating systems, search engines, browsers and social media might affect our ability to generate revenues,
temporarily or permanently.
We
comply with certain guidelines promulgated by online platforms for the use of the respective brands and services. Online platforms may
unilaterally update their policies and guidelines, which could, in turn, require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete
certain of our advertising solutions, products, services and practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse
effect on our business, our financial condition and results of operations. Noncompliance with platforms’ guidelines, whether by
us or by third parties we work with, if not cured, could result in such online platforms’ suspension of some or all of their services
to us, or to the websites of third parties we work with, or the reimbursement of funds paid to us, or the imposition of additional restrictions
on our advertising abilities or the termination of certain advertising agreements with our customers.
25
Should
the providers of internet browsers, advertisement platforms and Search Engines further regulate, constrain or limit our ability to offer
advertising services, or materially change their guidelines, technology or the way they operate, our ability to generate revenue from
advertising could be significantly reduced.
As
we provide our services through the internet, we are reliant on our ability to work with the different internet browsers, search engines
and advertisement platforms. If Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook or other companies that provide internet browsers, advertisement platforms
and search engines, effectively further restrict, discourage or otherwise hamper companies, like us, from offering or advertising services,
this would continue to cause a material adverse effect on our revenue and our financial results.
Large
and established internet and technology companies, such as Google, Facebook and Amazon, play a substantial role in the digital advertising
market and may significantly harm our ability to operate in this industry.
Google,
Facebook and Amazon are substantial players in the digital advertising market and account for a large portion of the digital advertising
budgets, along with other smaller players. Such high concentration causes us to be subject to any unilateral changes they may make with
respect to advertising on their respective platforms, which may be more lucrative than alternative methods of advertising or partnerships
with other publishers that are not subject to such changes. Furthermore, we could have limited ability to respond to, and adjust for,
changes implemented by such players.
These
companies, along with other large and established internet and technology companies, may also leverage their power to make changes to
their web browsers, operating systems, platforms, networks or other products or services in a way that impacts the entire digital advertising
marketplace. Such changes could affect our revenues as it will be required to make technological changes and business adjustments, which
might cause the retirement of certain products and services or changes in their profitability.
This,
together with other advertisement-blocking technologies incorporated in or compatible with leading internet browsers and operating systems,
could impact our advertising business (as well as those of our competitors). These changes could materially impact the way we do business,
and if we or our advertisers and third parties we work with are unable to quickly and effectively adjust and provide solutions to those
changes, there could be an adverse effect on our revenue and performance.
The
use of third-party software solutions for the purpose of blocking ads and / or alerts may cause our business to suffer.
Digital
advertising may be blocked by third-party providers. As a result, we may lose both existing and potential new customers and our ability
to generate revenue will be negatively impacted.
We
depend on supply sources to provide us with advertising inventory in order for us to deliver advertising campaigns in a cost-effective
manner.
We
rely on a diverse set of publishers including direct publishers, advertising exchange platforms, social networks and other platforms,
that aggregate advertising inventory, to provide us with high-quality digital advertising inventory on which we deliver ads, collectively
referred to as “supply sources”. The future growth of our advertising business will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain,
expand and further develop successful business relationships in order to increase the network of our supply sources.
Our
supply sources typically make their advertising inventory available to us on a non-exclusive basis and are not required to provide any
minimum amounts of advertising inventory to us or to provide us with a consistent supply of advertising inventory, at any predetermined
price or through real time bidding. Supply sources often maintain relationships with various sources of demand that compete with us,
and it is easy for supply sources to quickly shift their advertising inventory among these demand sources, or to shift inventory to new
demand sources, without notice or accountability. Supply sources may also seek to change the terms at which they offer inventory to us,
or they may allocate their advertising inventory to our competitors who offer more favorable economic terms, better solutions and advanced
technology. Supply sources may also elect to sell all, or a portion, of their advertising inventory directly to advertisers and agencies,
or they may develop their own competitive offerings, which could diminish the demand for our solutions. In addition, significant supply
sources within the industry may enter into exclusivity arrangements with our competitors, which could limit our access to a meaningful
supply of inventory. As a result of all of these factors, our supply sources may not supply us with sufficient amounts of high-quality
digital advertising inventory in order for us to fulfill the demands of our advertising customers.
26
Because
of these factors, we seek to expand and diversify our supply sources; nonetheless, if our supply sources terminate or reduce our access
to their advertising inventory, increase the price of inventory or place significant restrictions on the sale of their advertising inventory,
or if platforms or exchanges terminate our access to them and we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with
supply sources on commercially reasonable terms, we may not be able to replace this with inventory from other supply sources that satisfy
our requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner. If any of these happen, our revenue could decline or our cost of acquiring inventory
could increase, which, in turn, could lower our operating margins and materially adversely affect our advertising business.
A
significant portion of our revenue is concentrated with one customer.
With
respect to our digital advertising business unit, as of December 31, 2025, Gix Media had one major customer, a reputable international
search engine (“Gix Major Customer”). Gix Media generated revenues of approximately $1.2 million from the Gix Major Customer,
constituting approximately 81% of the total revenues of Gix Media during the year ended December 31, 2025. Our relationship with this
Gix Major Customer originated in 2013 upon the signing of an exclusive cooperation agreement, which is extended from time to time. In
March 2020, an extension of the foregoing agreement was signed, whereby the term of the agreement was extended until October 26, 2023,
was automatically renewed for an additional one year period until October 26, 2024, and will continue to be automatically renewed for
additional one year periods, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal 90 days in advance. We are highly dependent on the material
agreement with the Gix Major Customer. If this material agreement is terminated or substantially amended (not on favorable terms), we
would experience a material decrease in our revenue from our digital advertising business unit or the profits it generates and would
be forced to seek alternative customers, at less competitive terms or accelerate the business we have with the current search engines.
There are few companies in the market that provide internet search and search advertising services with whom we can directly engage with
in the same manner which we are engaged with our Gix Major Customer. Such companies are substantially the only participants in western
markets, and competitors do not offer as much coverage through sponsored links or searches. We may divert our operations and user traffic
to other third-party partners which provide search feed to search engines, however we cannot guarantee that we will be successful. If
we fail to quickly locate, negotiate and finalize alternative arrangements or otherwise expedite current operations we have with such
alternative search providers, or if we do, but the alternatives do not provide for terms that are as favorable as those currently provided
and utilized, we would experience a material reduction in our revenue and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of
operations would be adversely affected.
Our
Search Platform depends heavily upon revenue generated from the material agreement with our Gix Major Customer, and any adverse change
in that agreement could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
are highly dependent on the material agreement with our Gix Major Customer. If this material agreement is terminated or substantially
amended (not on favorable terms), we would experience a material decrease in our revenue from our Search Platform or the profits it generates
and would be forced to seek alternative customers, at less competitive terms or accelerate the business we have with the current Search
Engines. There are few companies in the market that provide internet search and search advertising services with whom we can directly
engage with in the same manner which we are engaged with our Gix Major Customer. Such companies are substantially the only participants
in western markets, and competitors do not offer as much coverage through sponsored links or searches. We may divert our operations and
user traffic to other third-party partners which provide search feed to Search Engines, however we cannot guarantee that we will be successful.
If we fail to quickly locate, negotiate and finalize alternative arrangements or otherwise expedite current operations we have with such
alternative search providers, or if we do, but the alternatives do not provide for terms that are as favorable as those currently provided
and utilized, we would experience a material reduction in our revenue and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of
operations would be adversely affected.
27
Reliance
upon material suppliers may adversely affect our revenue and operating results.
We
are dependent on certain material suppliers and service providers for some of the services we render. In certain cases, we rely on a
single supplier and/or service provider for the services we offer our customers. In most cases we do not have long term contracts with
these suppliers, and even in the cases where we do the contracts include significant qualifications that would make it extremely difficult
for us to force the supplier or service provider to provide us with their services, should they choose not to do so. We are therefore
subject to the risk that these third-parties we work with will not be able or willing to continue to provide us with services that meet
our specifications, quality standards and delivery schedules. Factors that could impact these third parties’ willingness and ability
to continue to provide us with the required services include disruption at or affecting their facilities, such as work stoppages or natural
disasters, adverse weather or other conditions that affect their supply, their financial conditions and / or deterioration in our relationships
with these third parties. In addition, we cannot be sure that we will be able to provide the services we need on satisfactory terms.
Any increase in costs could reduce our revenues and harm our gross margins. In addition, any loss of a material supplier and/or service
provider may permanently cause a change in one or more of our services that may not be accepted by our customers or cause us to eliminate
that product altogether.
We
may not be able to receive credit facility to fund our operations, on favorable terms, or at all.
We
generally finance our operations primarily through a combination of cash flow generated from operations and borrowings under our
credit facilities, loans, and through credit with our vendors. Our ability to access capital through our existing credit facilities
and raise additional capital by expanding our credit facilities on economically favorable terms (including available borrowing line
and the rate of interest charged thereunder) or at all, or if we are in violation of our financial covenants in the future and do
not receive a waiver, depends on our ability to stay in compliance with the financing agreement. The Financing Agreement poses
certain limitations, as explained elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition, and as a result of the decrease in the
Company’s revenues, our financial performance has been negatively impacted, which may affect the terms on which we are able to
obtain credit facilities and loans.
If
adequate capital is not available at the time we need it, we may have to curtail future growth or change our expansion plans, which could
have a material adverse effect on us.
If
borrowing under our existing credit facilities is reduced, or otherwise becomes unavailable, or we are unable to arrange substitute financing
facilities or other sources of capital, our ability to fund our operations would be impaired, which would have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations.
We
may be unable to pay our obligations when they become due, including under the Financing Agreement.
We
have financed our acquisitions principally through the raising of debt, credit facilities, and our operations through credit with
our vendors. Our ability to continue our operations and to pay our obligations, including under the financing agreement and credit
facilities (as described elsewhere in this Annual Report), when they become due is contingent upon obtaining additional
financing.
In
addition, during August 2024, we renegotiated the terms of the Financing. If the Company and Gix Media cannot maintain compliance with
the terms and covenant of the Financing Agreement, or if we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be
required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, and/or consider reductions in personnel costs or other operating costs, in addition
to the measures currently contemplated pursuant to the Financing Agreement.
28
Our
success is dependent on the preferences of consumers, internet users and advertisers.
Our
services rely on the digital devices used by consumers and users. To the extent that users change their consumption habits, or to the
extent that traffic does not grow, our activities might decrease and our business operations might be harmed.
A
change in advertisers’ preferences could also affect our operations. Advertisers might change their preferences relating to their
willingness to work with certain technologies and certain advertising platforms, which might reduce our activities and harm our business
operations.
A
loss of the services of our technology vendors could adversely affect the execution of our business strategy.
Should
some of our technology vendors terminate their relationship with us, our ability to continue the development of some of our platforms
could be adversely affected, until such time that we find adequate replacement for these vendors, or until such time that we can continue
the development on our own.
The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern, which could prevent us from obtaining new financing on reasonable terms or at all.
The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2025, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our audited
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty regarding our
ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through
the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Further reports on our consolidated financial statements may include an explanatory
paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Until we can generate significant recurring cash flow, we expect
to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to
us on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of our operations.
Risks
Related to our Competition
Large
and established internet and technology companies, such as Google and Facebook, play a substantial role in the digital advertising market
and may significantly impair our ability to operate in this industry.
Google
is a substantial player in the digital advertising market along with other players such as Microsoft. In addition, a small number of
social network companies, such as Facebook, account for a large portion of digital advertising budgets. The high concentration of power
among Google, Facebook and some other large market participants causes us to be subject to any unilateral changes they may make with
respect to advertising on their respective platforms, which may be more lucrative than alternative methods of advertising or partnerships
with other publishers that are not subject to such changes. Furthermore, we could have limited ability to respond to, and adjust for,
changes implemented by large market participants.
These
companies, along with other large and established Internet and technology companies, may also leverage their power to make changes to
their web browsers, operating systems, platforms, networks or other products or services in a way that impacts the entire digital advertising
marketplace. If we fail to comply or adopt to such changes, on the same level as our competitors, it may harm our ability to compete
effectively in our market and operate in our market.
The
digital advertising market is highly competitive. If we cannot compete effectively in this market, our revenues are likely to decline.
We
face intense competition in the marketplace. We operate in a dynamic market that is subject to rapid development and introduction of
new technologies, products and solutions, changing branding objectives, evolving customer demands and industry guidelines, all of which
affect our ability to remain competitive. There are a large number of companies and advertising technology companies that offer products
or services similar to ours and that compete with us for finite advertising budgets. There is also a large number of niche companies
that are competitive with us, as they provide a subset of the services that we provide. Some of our existing and potential competitors
may be better established, benefit from greater name recognition, may offer solutions and technologies that we do not offer or that are
more evolved than ours, and may have significantly more financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we do. In addition,
some competitors, particularly those with a larger and more diversified revenue base and a broader offering, may have greater flexibility
than we do to compete aggressively on the basis of price and other contract terms as well as respond to market changes. Additionally,
companies that do not currently compete with us in this space may change their services to be competitive if there is a revenue opportunity,
and new or stronger competitors may emerge through consolidations or acquisitions. If our platforms are not perceived as competitively
differentiated or we fail to develop adequately to meet market evolution, we could lose customers and market share or be compelled to
reduce our prices and harm our operational results.
29
Our
implementation and use of artificial intelligence technologies may not be successful, which may impair our ability to compete effectively,
result in reputational harm and have an adverse effect on our business.
We
use artificial intelligence technologies throughout our business and are making investments to continuously improve our use of such technologies.
As with many technological innovations, there are significant risks and challenges involved in developing, maintaining and deploying
these technologies and there can be no assurance that the usage of such technologies will always enhance our products or services or
be beneficial to our business, including to our efficiency or profitability. In addition, the market for artificial intelligence technologies
is rapidly evolving and remains unproven in many industries, including our own. We cannot be sure that the market will continue to grow
or that it will grow in ways we anticipate.
We
are in varying stages of development of our systems which utilize artificial intelligence, and we may not be successful in our ongoing
development of these technologies in the face of novel and evolving technical, reputational and market factors. The development, maintenance
and operation of our artificial intelligence technologies is expensive and complex, and may involve unforeseen difficulties including
material performance problems, undetected defects or errors. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we may discover
additional problems that may prevent our technologies from operating properly, which could adversely affect our business, customer relationships
and reputation.
We
face significant competition from other companies in our industry in relation to the development and deployment of artificial intelligence
technologies. Those other companies may develop artificial intelligence technologies that are similar or superior to ours and/or are
more cost-effective and/or quicker to develop and deploy. If we cannot develop, offer or deploy new artificial intelligence technologies
as effectively, as quickly and/or as cost-efficiently as our competitors, we could experience a material adverse effect on our operating
results of operation, customer relationships and growth.
Risks
Related to our Intellectual Property
If
we cannot enforce and protect our intellectual property rights, our business could be adversely affected.
We
rely on patents, copyright, trademark, domain name and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, as
well as licenses and other agreements with our employees, and other parties, to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights
in the technology, products and services used in our operations. These laws and agreements may not guarantee that our intellectual property
rights will be protected and our intellectual property rights could be challenged or invalidated. Amendments to or interpretations of
U.S. patent laws or new rulings around U.S. patent laws may adversely impact our ability to protect our new technologies, content, products
and services and to defend against claims of patent infringement. In addition, such intellectual property rights may not be sufficient
to permit us to take advantage of current industry trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages, which could result in costly
redesign efforts, discontinuance of offerings, decreased traffic and associated revenue or otherwise adversely affect our business.
30
We
may in the future be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement that could adversely affect our business.
Many
companies (including patent holding companies) and individuals own patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and frequently
enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we develop and offer
our platforms through various distribution channels we may experience an increase in the number of intellectual property claims against
us. These claims, whether meritorious or not, may result in litigation, may be time-consuming and costly to resolve, and may require
expensive changes in our methods of doing business. These intellectual property infringement claims may require us to enter into royalty
or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms or to incur substantial monetary liability. Additionally, these claims may result in us
being enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of certain intellectual property or may require us to cease or significantly
alter certain of our operations.
Some
of our commercial agreements may require us to indemnify third parties against intellectual property infringement claims, which may require
us to use substantial resources to defend against or settle such claims or, potentially, to pay damages. These third parties may also
discontinue the use of our platforms, as a result of injunctions or otherwise, which could result in loss of revenues and adversely impact
our business. Additionally, we may be exposed to liability or substantially increased costs if a commercial partner does not honor its
contractual obligation to indemnify us for intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties or if any amounts received
are not adequate to cover our liabilities or the costs associated with defense of such claims. The occurrence of any of these events
could adversely affect our business.
Patent
terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position for an adequate amount of time.
Patents
have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally
20 years from its earliest U.S. non-provisional or international patent application filing date. Various extensions may be available,
but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering our products are obtained, once the patent
life has expired, we may be open to competition from competitive products, including generics. As a result, our patent portfolio may
not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.
Risks
Related to Data Protection Regulation
We
may not be able to protect our systems, technology and infrastructure from cyberattacks.
We
rely on information technology systems to operate and manage our business and to process, maintain, and safeguard information, including
information related to our customers, partners, and personnel. This information is stored and managed within our internal information
technology infrastructure or, in certain instances, on platforms maintained by third-party service providers. These systems, whether
operated internally or externally, may be subject to attacks by perpetrators of malicious technology-related events, such as the use
of botnets, malware or other destructive or disruptive software, distributed denial of service attacks, phishing, attempts to misappropriate
user information and other similar malicious activities. The incidence of events of this nature (or any combination thereof) is on the
rise worldwide. Since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas which began on October 7, 2023, Israeli and Israeli associated
companies have become more frequently the target of cyberattacks. As such, the risk of a cyberattack against our platforms may become
heightened. While we continuously develop and maintain systems designed to detect and prevent events of this nature from impacting our
platforms, we have invested and continue to invest heavily in these efforts. These efforts are costly and require ongoing monitoring
and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome preventative security measures become more sophisticated.
Any
event of this nature that we experience could damage our systems, technology and infrastructure, prevent us from providing our services,
compromise the integrity of our services, damage our reputation and/or be costly to remedy, as well as subject us to investigations by
regulatory authorities, fines and/or litigation that could result in liability to third parties.
31
A
failure in our technology infrastructure may adversely affect our business and financial condition and disrupt our customers’ businesses.
We
utilize “Cloud” servers, which are not immune to failures and is not without substantial risk, particularly at a time when
businesses of almost every kind are finding themselves subject to an ever-expanding range of privacy, data collection and processing
and cybersecurity laws and regulations, document retention requirements, and other standards of accountability. Such failures and risks,
if materialized, could affect our activities, including its ad space-purchasing and processing capabilities.
Our
business depends on our ability to collect and use data, and any limitation on the collection and use of this data could significantly
diminish the value of our platforms and cause us to lose customers and revenue.
Our
services receive, collect, store, analyze, process, transfer and use certain data about the identification of devices across websites
and applications and user interactions with those devices for various purposes for our Search and Digital Platform, such as serving relevant
ads and measuring the effectiveness of ads. Our ability to access and utilize such data is crucial to the success of our business and
operations. Such ability to either collect or use data could be restricted by new laws or regulations. We are subject to numerous federal,
state, local, and international laws, directives and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and data security and the collection,
storing, sharing, processing, transferring, disclosure requirements and protection of personal data. The scope of these regulations is
changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions or conflict with other legal and regulatory
requirements.
For
example, we collect, use, maintain and otherwise process certain data about our customers (including, without limitation, customers’
clients or users), partners, candidates and employees, consultants, vendors and service providers, leads and consumers. Our ability to
collect, use, maintain or otherwise process personal data has been, and could be further restricted by existing and new laws and regulations
relating to privacy and data collection and protection. These laws and regulations generally define personal data to include location
data and online identifiers, which are commonly used and collected parameters in digital advertising and, among other things, impose
stringent user consent requirements and permit data subjects to request we discontinue using certain data. In addition, some countries
are considering or have enacted legislation requiring local storage and processing of data that could increase the cost and complexity
of delivering our services.
European
supervisory authorities have been very active in terms of enforcing data protection rules, including with respect to cookie-related matters.
Regulation of cookies and similar technologies, and any decline of cookies or similar online tracking technologies as a means to identify
and potentially target individuals, may lead to broader restrictions and impairments on our business activities, may negatively impact
our efforts to understand users, and, as a result of us being able to process less data, make our automated decisioning process less
accurate. For example, we may need to adapt our advertising solution to a “cookie-less” environment and introduce alternative
solutions which may not provide the targeting capabilities provided by cookies Recent state privacy laws and regulations issued pursuant
to those laws address and expand on requirements for honoring browser-based or similar technical signals for consumers to opt out of
the sale and the use of personal data for targeted advertising purposes. If use of the “Global Privacy Control” or similar
signals is adopted by many Internet users or if such a standard is imposed by even more states or by federal or foreign legislation or
is agreed upon by standard setting groups, we may have to change our business practices, our clients may reduce their use of our platform
and related offerings, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, we may
be required to implement physical, administrative and technological security measures that differ from those we have now, such as different
data access controls or encryption technology. Any limitation on our ability to collect and utilize data, including personal data, would
make it more difficult for us to be able to optimize ad placement for the benefit of our advertisers and publishers, which could render
our solutions less valuable and potentially result in loss of clients and a decline in revenue.
Regulations,
legislation, or self-regulation developments relating to privacy, data collection and protection and internet advertising, and uncertainties
regarding the application or interpretation of existing or newly adopted laws and regulations, could harm our business and subject us
to significant legal liability for non-compliance.
The
regulatory framework for privacy, data protection and data security worldwide is, and is likely to remain for the foreseeable future,
uncertain and complex, and it is possible that actual or alleged obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that we do not
anticipate or that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other legal obligations or with our practices.
Further, any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the collection, use, retention, security
or disclosure of data, or their interpretation, or any changes regarding the manner in which the consent of users or other data subjects
for the collection, use, retention or disclosure of such data must be obtained, could increase our costs and require us to modify our
services and features, possibly in a material manner, which we may be unable to complete, and may limit our ability to store and process
user data or develop new services and features.
32
If
we were found in violation of any applicable laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection or security, our business may be
materially and adversely affected and we would likely have to change our business practices and potentially the services and features
available. In addition, these laws and regulations could impose significant costs on us and could constrain our ability to use and process
data in manners that may be commercially desirable. In addition, if a breach of data security were to occur or to be alleged to have
occurred, if any violation of laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection or data security were to be alleged, or if we
had any actual or alleged defect in our safeguards or practices relating to privacy, data protection, or data security, our solutions
may be perceived as less desirable and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected, which could be costly and cause reputational harm.
Any
failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to users or other third
parties, or any other legal obligations or regulatory requirements relating to privacy, data protection or data security may result in
governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or
others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us, and otherwise materially and adversely affect
our reputation and business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, other obligations
and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our users may limit the adoption and use of and reduce the overall demand for our
services.
Additionally,
if third parties we work with violate applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations, such violations may put our users’
data at risk, could result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, fines, litigation, claims, or public statements against
us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us and otherwise
materially and adversely affect our reputation and business. Further, public scrutiny of, or complaints about, technology companies or
their data handling or data protection practices, even if unrelated to our business, industry or operations, may lead to increased scrutiny
of technology companies, including us, and may cause government agencies to enact additional regulatory requirements, or to modify their
enforcement or investigation activities, which may increase our costs and risks.
It
is possible that these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data collection,
use, preservation and other processing practices or that it may be argued that our practices do not comply with certain countries’
privacy and data collection and protection laws and regulations. Due to rapid changes in technology and the inconsistent interpretations
of privacy and data collection and protection laws and regulations, we may be required to materially change the way we conduct business.
The challenges imposed by the ongoing need to remain compliant with such laws and regulations, as well the need to implement any changes
required based on newly introduced laws and regulations, may slow our growth, and if we are not able to cope with these challenges as
effectively as other companies, we will be competitively disadvantaged.
Compliance
with such existing and new laws and regulations can be costly and can delay, or impede the development of new services, any and failure
or perceived failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in negative publicity, increase our operating costs, require
significant management time and attention and subject us to inquiries or investigations, litigation (including class actions), claims,
or other remedies, including penalties, fines, sanctions and criminal and civil liabilities, or demands or orders that we modify or cease
existing business practices, each of which could materially affect our operating results and our business. Moreover, concerns about our
collection, use, sharing, handling and other processing of data or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could harm our reputation
and operating results.
We
rely on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver our mobile and web applications to users, and any disruption
of, or interference with, our use of those services could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and customers.
Our
services continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to our success. Our services are dependent on the performance and reliability
of internet, mobile, and other infrastructure services that are not under our control. For example, we currently host our services and
support our operations using a third-party provider of cloud infrastructure services. While we have engaged reputable vendors to provide
these products or services, we do not have control over the operations of the facilities or systems used by our third-party providers.
These facilities and systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, human error,
terrorist attacks, power outages, pandemics, and similar events or acts of misconduct. In addition, any changes in one of our third-party
service provider’s service levels may adversely affect our ability to meet the requirements of our customers.
33
While
we believe we have implemented reasonable backup and disaster recovery plans, we expect that in the future we may experience interruptions,
delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human
or software errors, website hosting disruptions, capacity constraints, or external factors beyond our control. Sustained or repeated
system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our platforms and services. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve
our performance, especially during peak usage times, as we expand our platforms and service offerings. Any negative publicity or user
dissatisfaction arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand, may adversely affect the usage of our offerings,
and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operation.
As
the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence evolves, including with respect to unintentional bias and discrimination, our business,
financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our
business increasingly relies on artificial intelligence technologies. The legislative and regulatory framework for this technology is
rapidly evolving, and we may not always be able to anticipate how to respond to these laws or regulations. Many federal, state and foreign
government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations governing the use of such
technologies. There is also an increase in litigation in a number of jurisdictions, including the United States, relating to the development,
security and use of artificial intelligence.
For
example, on May 17, 2024, Colorado enacted the Colorado AI Act. The Colorado AI Act creates duties for developers and for those that
deploy AI. There is a specific focus on bias and discrimination. The Act will go into effect on February 1, 2026. Federal artificial
intelligence legislation has also been introduced in the U.S. Senate. Such additional regulations may impact our ability to develop,
use and commercialize artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the future. Furthermore, in October 2023, President
Biden issued the Executive Order on Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (“The Order”) with the goal of promoting
the “safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence in the United States.” The Order established
certain new standards for the training, testing and cybersecurity of sophisticated artificial intelligence models, and instructed other
federal agencies to promulgate additional regulations. Even though The Order was rescinded by President Trump on January 20, 2025, it
may still indicate a trend towards federal AI regulation, which could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business.
The
most comprehensive legislation passed in the area of AI in the European Union is the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (the “EU AI
Act”), effective from February 2, 2025, with different provisions becoming gradually applicable on different dates. The EU AI Act
contains a list of prohibited practices, classifies certain AI systems as high risk, depending on the level of risk they pose, includes
transparency obligations for providers and deployers of certain AI systems, and includes obligations and requirements around general-purpose
AI models and general-purpose AI systems. For example, fines for noncompliance include fines of the higher of €35,000,000 or up
to 7 percent of a company’s total worldwide annual turnover for non-compliance with prohibited AI practices, or the higher of €7,500,000
or up to 1 percent of a company’s total worldwide annual turnover for the supply of incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information
to notified bodies and national competent authorities in certain contexts. Noncompliance with the EU AI ACT could also result in other
consequences such as loss of business opportunities or reputational damage.
It
is possible that the adoption of new laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, or the interpretation of existing laws and regulations,
may affect the operation of our platforms and services and the way in which we use artificial intelligence, including with respect to
how we train our models, unintentional bias and discrimination. Failure to comply with such laws or regulations could subject us to legal
or regulatory liability. Further, the cost of complying with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating
expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks
Related to Our Investment in Quantum Computing
Risks
Related to Quantum X Labs’ Status as an Early-Stage Company
Quantum
X Labs is an early-stage company and has a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast its future results of operations.
Quantum
X Labs was incorporated in January 2025. As a result of Quantum X Labs’ limited operating history, its ability to accurately forecast
its future results of operations is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including its ability to plan for and model its
future growth. Quantum X Labs’ ability to generate revenues will be dependent on its ability to use and leverage a quantum computers
with increasing numbers of algorithmic qubits and to connect those quantum computers via quantum networks. The development of its scalable
business model will likely require the incurrence of a substantially higher level of costs than incurred to date, while its revenues
will not substantially increase until more powerful, scalable computers are produced, which requires a number of technological advancements
that may not occur on the currently anticipated timetable or at all.
Quantum
X Labs has also encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly
changing industries. If its assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties and its future growth are incorrect or change, or if
Quantum X Labs does not address these risks successfully, its operating and financial results could differ materially from its expectations,
and its business could suffer. Quantum X Labs’ success as a business ultimately relies upon fundamental research and development
breakthroughs in the coming years and decade. There is no certainty these research and development milestones will be achieved as quickly
as expected, or even at all.
Quantum
X Labs may not be able to scale its business quickly enough to meet customer and market demand, which could adversely affect its financial
condition and results of operations or cause us to fail to execute on its business strategies.
In
order to grow its business, Quantum X Labs will need to continually evolve and scale its business and operations to meet customer and
market demand. Quantum computing technology has never been sold at large-scale commercial levels. Evolving and scaling its business and
operations places increased demands on its management as well as its financial and operational resources to:
●
effectively
manage organizational change;
●
design
scalable processes;
●
accelerate
and/or refocus research and development activities;
●
expand
manufacturing, supply chain and distribution capacity;
●
increase
sales and marketing efforts;
●
broaden
customer-support and services capabilities;
●
maintain
or increase operational efficiencies;
●
scale
support operations in a cost-effective manner;
●
implement
appropriate operational and financial systems; and
●
maintain
effective financial disclosure controls and procedures.
If
Quantum X Labs cannot evolve and scale its business and operations effectively, Quantum X Labs may not be able to execute its business
strategies in a cost-effective manner and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Quantum
X Labs’ estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.
Market
opportunity estimates and growth forecasts, including those Quantum X Labs has generated, are subject to significant uncertainty and
are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The variables that go into the calculation of its market opportunity
are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of companies covered by its market
opportunity estimates will purchase its products at all or generate any particular level of revenue for us. In addition, alternatives
to quantum computing may present themselves, which could substantially reduce the market for quantum computing services. Any expansion
in its market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with quantum computing
solutions.
35
The
methodology and assumptions used to estimate market opportunities may differ materially from the methodologies and assumptions previously
used to estimate the total addressable market. To estimate the size of its market opportunities and its growth rates, Quantum X Labs
have relied on market reports by leading research and consulting firms. These estimates of the total addressable market and growth forecasts
are subject to significant uncertainty, are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate and are based on data
published by third parties that Quantum X Labs have not independently verified. Advances in classical computing may prove more robust
for longer than currently anticipated. This could adversely affect the timing of any quantum advantage being achieved, if at all.
Even
if the market in which Quantum X Labs competes achieves the forecasted growth, its business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at
all.
Quantum
X Labs’ success will depend upon its ability to expand, scale its operations, and increase its sales capability. Even if the market
in which Quantum X Labs competes meets the size estimates and growth forecasted, its business could fail to grow at similar rates, if
at all.
Quantum
X Labs’ growth is dependent upon its ability to successfully scale up manufacturing of its products in sufficient quantity and
quality, in a timely or cost-effective manner. Quantum X Labs’ growth is also dependent upon its ability to successfully market
and sell quantum computing and networking technology. Quantum X Labs does not have experience with the mass distribution and sale of
quantum computing and networking technology. Quantum X Labs’ growth and long-term success will depend upon the development of its
sales and delivery capabilities.
Unforeseen
issues associated with scaling up and constructing quantum computing and networking technology at commercially viable levels, and selling
its technology, could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover,
because of its unique technology, its customers will require particular support and service functions, some of which are not currently
available. If Quantum X Labs experiences delays in adding such support capacity or servicing its customers efficiently, or experience
unforeseen issues with the reliability of its technology, it could overburden its servicing and support capabilities. Similarly, increasing
the number of its customers, products or services, for example by entering into government contracts and expanding to new geographies,
has required and may continue to require us to rapidly increase the availability of these services. Failure to adequately support and
service its customers may inhibit its growth and ability to expand computing targets globally. There can be no assurance that its projections
on which such targets are based will prove accurate or that the pace of growth or coverage of its customer infrastructure network will
meet customer expectations. Failure to grow at rates similar to that of the quantum computing and networking industry may adversely affect
its operating results and ability to effectively compete within the industry.
Risks
Related to Quantum X Labs’ Business and Industry
If
its quantum computing technologies are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware in the future, its business
could be harmed.
Programming
for quantum computing requires unique tools, software, hardware, and development environments. Quantum X Labs focused its efforts on
creating quantum computing hardware, the system control platform for such hardware and a suite of low-level software programs that optimize
execution of quantum algorithms on its hardware. Further up the stack, Quantum X Labs relies on third parties to create and advance software,
standards, specifications, applications, hardware and services that enable these systems to integrate into various environments and be
utilized towards various customer use cases. Full utilization of its quantum computing solutions may depend on these third-party software,
standards, specifications, applications, hardware and services, which may not be compatible with its quantum computing solutions and
their development, or may not be available to us or its customers on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, which could harm its business.
36
If
its customers are unable to achieve compatibility between other software and hardware and its hardware, it could impact its relationships
with such customers or with customers, generally, if the incompatibility is more widespread. In addition, the mere announcement of an
incompatibility problem relating to its products with higher level software tools could cause us to suffer reputational harm and/or lead
to a loss of customers. Any adverse impacts from the incompatibility of its quantum computing solutions could adversely affect its business,
operating results and financial condition.
If
its technology fail to achieve a broad quantum advantage, its business, financial condition and future prospects may be harmed.
Quantum
advantage refers to the moment when a quantum computer can compute faster than traditional computers, while quantum supremacy is achieved
once quantum computers are powerful enough to complete calculations that traditional supercomputers cannot perform at all. Broad quantum
advantage is when quantum advantage is seen in many applications and developers prefer quantum computers to a traditional computer. No
current quantum computers, including its quantum hardware, have reached a broad quantum advantage, and they may never reach such advantage.
Achieving a broad quantum advantage will be critical to the success of any quantum computing company, including us. However, achieving
quantum advantage would not necessarily lead to commercial viability of the technology that accomplished such advantage, nor would it
mean that such system could outperform classical computers in tasks other than the one used to determine a quantum advantage.
Quantum
computing technology, including broad quantum advantage, may take decades to be realized, if ever. If Quantum X Labs cannot develop quantum
computers that have quantum advantage, customers may not continue to purchase its products and services. If other companies’ quantum
computers reach a broad quantum advantage prior to the time ours reaches such capabilities, it could lead to a loss of customers. If
any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
An
element of its business is currently dependent upon its relationship with its cloud providers. There are no assurances that Quantum X
Labs will be able to commercialize quantum computers from its relationships with cloud providers.
Quantum
X Labs currently uses its QECC on public clouds provided by AWS’s Amazon Braket, Microsoft’s Azure Quantum, and the Google
Cloud Marketplace. The companies that own these public clouds have internal quantum computing efforts that are competitive to its technology.
There is risk that one or more of these public cloud providers could use their respective control of their public clouds to embed innovations
or privileged interoperating capabilities in competing products, bundle competing products, provide us with unfavorable pricing, leverage
their public cloud customer relationships to exclude us from opportunities, and treat us and its end users differently with respect to
terms and conditions or regulatory requirements than they would treat their similarly situated customers. Further, they have the resources
to acquire or partner with existing and emerging providers of competing technology and thereby accelerate adoption of those competing
technologies. All of the foregoing could make it difficult or impossible for us to provide products and services that compete favorably
with those of the public cloud providers.
Any
material change in its contractual and other business relationships with its public cloud providers could result in harm to its brand
and reputation and reduced use of its systems, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results
of operations.
The
quantum computing and networking industry is competitive on a global scale and Quantum X Labs may not be successful in competing in this
industry or establishing and maintaining confidence in its long-term business prospects among current and future partners and customers.
The
markets in which Quantum X Labs operates are rapidly evolving and highly competitive. As these markets continue to mature and new technologies
and competitors enter such markets, Quantum X Labs expects competition to intensify. Quantum X Labs’ current competitors include
(among others):
●
large,
well-established tech companies that generally compete in all of its markets, including Amazon, Google, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft;
37
●
countries
such as the United States, China, Russia, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and certain countries in the European Union;
●
less-established
public and private companies with competing technology, including companies located outside the United States; and
●
new
or emerging entrants seeking to develop competing technologies.
Quantum
X Labs competes based on various factors, including technology, price, performance, multi-cloud availability, brand recognition and reputation,
customer support and differentiated capabilities, including ease of administration and use, scalability and reliability, data governance
and security. Many of its competitors have substantially greater brand recognition, customer relationships, and financial, technical
and other resources, including an experienced sales force and sophisticated supply chain management. They may be able to respond more
effectively than us to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, customer requirements and buying practices or to cross-subsidize
their quantum offerings from their other higher margin operations. In addition, many countries are focused on developing quantum solutions
either in the private or public sector and may subsidize quantum computers or quantum networks, which may make it difficult for us to
compete. Many of these competitors do not face the same challenges Quantum X Labs does in growing its business. In addition, other competitors
might be able to compete with us by bundling their other products in a way that does not allow us to offer a competitive solution.
Additionally,
Quantum X Labs must be able to achieve its objectives in a timely manner or quantum computing and networking may lose ground to competitors,
including competing technologies. Because there are a large number of market participants, including certain sovereign nations, focused
on developing quantum computing and networking technology, Quantum X Labs must dedicate significant resources to achieving any technical
objectives on the timelines established by its management team. Any failure to achieve objectives in a timely manner could adversely
affect its business, operating results and financial condition.
For
all of these reasons, competition may negatively impact its ability to maintain and grow consumption of its platform or put downward
pressure on its prices and gross margins, any of which could materially harm its reputation, business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
The
quantum computing and networking industry is in its early stages and volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops slower than
Quantum X Labs expects, if it develops in a manner that does not require use of its quantum computing solutions, if it encounters negative
publicity or if its solution does not drive commercial engagement, the growth of its business will be harmed.
The
nascent market for quantum computers and networks is still rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, competitive
pricing and competitive factors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, and changing customer demands and behaviors.
If the market for quantum computers and networks in general does not develop as expected, or develops more slowly than expected, its
business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.
In
addition, its growth and future demand for its products is highly dependent upon the adoption of quantum computers and networks and commercially
useful quantum algorithms to run on quantum computers by developers and customers, as well as on its ability to demonstrate the value
of quantum computing to its customers. Delays in future generations of its quantum computers or technical failures at other quantum computing
and networking companies could limit market acceptance of its solution. Negative publicity concerning its solution or the quantum computing
and networking industry as a whole could limit market acceptance of its solution. Quantum X Labs believes quantum computing will solve
many large-scale problems. However, such problems may never be solvable by quantum computing technology, or may only be solvable by systems
that are more technologically mature than Quantum X Labs currently expects. If its clients and partners do not perceive the benefits
of its solution, or if its solution does not drive customer engagement, then its market may not develop at all, or it may develop slower
than Quantum X Labs expects. If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition
or results of operations. If progress towards quantum advantage ever slows relative to expectations, it could adversely impact revenues
and customer confidence to continue to pay for testing, access and “quantum readiness.” This would adversely affect revenues
in the period before quantum advantage.
38
Quantum
X Labs may to face supply chain issues that could delay the introduction of its product and negatively impact its business and operating
results.
Quantum
X Labs is reliant on third-party suppliers, including sole source suppliers, for components necessary to develop and manufacture its
quantum computing and networking solutions. As its business grows, Quantum X Labs must continue to scale and adapt its supply chain or
it could have an adverse impact on its business. Any of the following factors (and others) could have an adverse impact on the availability
of these components necessary to its business:
●
its
inability to enter into agreements with suppliers on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;
●
inability
of suppliers to mature their operations in line with its growth and to meet its evolving requirements;
●
a
significant increase in the price of one or more components, including due to industry consolidation occurring within one or more
component supplier markets or as a result of decreased production capacity at manufacturers;
●
any
reductions or interruption in supply, including disruptions on its global supply chain as a result of the global chip shortage, geopolitical
tensions in and around Ukraine, Israel and other areas of the world and any indirect effects thereof;
●
financial
problems of either manufacturers or component suppliers;
●
intentional
sabotage by a malicious actor or actors;
●
significantly
increased raw material costs and other expenses associated with its business;
●
difficulty
obtaining raw materials that meet its quality standards;
●
significantly
increased freight charges, disruptions in shipping or reduced availability of freight transportation;
●
imposition
of, or increase in, tariffs, trade protection measures, or import and export controls by the United States or other countries;
●
reduced
access to raw materials due to suppliers entering into exclusivity arrangements with its competitors;
●
other
factors beyond its control or that Quantum X Labs does not presently anticipate, could also affect its suppliers’ ability to
deliver components to us on a timely basis;
●
a
failure to develop its supply chain management capabilities and recruit and retain qualified professionals;
●
a
failure to adequately authorize procurement of inventory by its contract manufacturers; or
●
a
failure to appropriately cancel, reschedule, or adjust its requirements based on its business needs.
If
any of the aforementioned factors were to materialize, it could cause us to delay or halt production of its quantum computing and networking
solutions and/or entail higher manufacturing costs, any of which could materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and
financial condition and could materially damage customer relationships.
If
Quantum X Labs cannot successfully execute on its strategy, including in response to changing customer needs and new technologies and
other market requirements, or achieve its objectives in a timely manner, its business, financial condition and results of operations
could be harmed.
The
quantum computing and networking market is characterized by rapid technological change, changing user requirements, uncertain product
lifecycles and evolving industry standards. Quantum X Labs believes that the pace of innovation will continue to accelerate as technology
changes and different approaches to quantum computing mature on a broad range of factors, including system architecture, error correction,
performance and scale, integration with classical computing resources, ease of programming, user experience, markets addressed, types
of data processed, and data governance and regulatory compliance. Quantum X Labs’ future success depends on its ability to continue
to innovate and increase customer adoption of its quantum computers and networks. If Quantum X Labs is unable to enhance its quantum
computing system to keep pace with these rapidly evolving customer requirements, or if new technologies emerge that are able to deliver
competitive products at lower prices, more efficiently, with better functionality, more conveniently, or more securely than its platform,
its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
39
If
Quantum X Labs is unable to maintain its current strategic partnerships or Quantum X Labs is unable to develop future collaborative partnerships,
its future growth and development could be negatively impacted.
Quantum
X Labs has entered into, and may enter into, strategic partnerships to develop and commercialize its current and future research and
development programs with other companies to accomplish one or more of the following:
●
obtain
expertise in relevant markets;
●
obtain
sales and marketing services or support;
●
obtain
equipment and facilities;
●
develop
relationships with potential future customers; and
●
generate
revenue.
Quantum
X Labs may not be successful in establishing or maintaining suitable partnerships, and Quantum X Labs may not be able to negotiate collaboration
agreements having terms satisfactory to us, or at all. Failure to make or maintain these arrangements or a delay or failure in a collaborative
partner’s performance under any such arrangements could harm its business and financial condition.
Quantum
X Labs’ business depends on its customers’ abilities to implement useful quantum algorithms and sufficient quantum resources
for their business. If they are unable to do so, including due to their algorithmic challenge or other technical or personnel dilemmas,
its growth may be negatively impacted.
Quantum
X Labs has entered into, and may enter into, contracts, partnerships and other arrangements with customers to develop, test and run quantum
algorithms specific to their business. The success of these contracts and partnerships is dependent on its customer’s ability to
identify, implement, and realize useful and scalable algorithms for their portfolio at a speed commensurate with the pace of hardware,
software, and technological development. These arrangements are also dependent on the availability of time and resources to develop and
optimize these algorithms. The development and optimization of these algorithms is reliant on employing sufficient talent familiar with
quantum computing and quantum networking, unique skills that require special training and education. If the market fails to train a sufficient
number of engineers, researchers and other key quantum personnel, its customers may not find sufficient talent to partner with us to
solve these problems. To the extent its customers are unable to effectively develop or utilize resources to advance algorithmic-use cases,
its business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted.
Quantum
X Labs is highly dependent on its key employees who have specialized knowledge, and its ability to attract and retain senior management
and other key employees is critical to its success.
Quantum
X Labs’ future success is highly dependent on its ability to attract and retain its certain key employees and other qualified personnel,
including its employees who have specialized knowledge and its employees from acquired businesses. Quantum X Labs has experienced in
the past, and as Quantum X Labs builds its brand and becomes more well known, there is increased risk that Quantum X Labs may further
experience in the future, competitors or other companies hiring its personnel. The loss of the services provided by these individuals
could adversely impact the achievement of its business strategy. These individuals could leave its employment at any time, as they are
“at will” employees. A loss of one of its key employees, particularly to a competitor, could also place us at a competitive
disadvantage. Effective succession planning is important to its long-term success, and failure to ensure effective transfer of knowledge
and smooth transitions involving key employees could hinder its strategic planning and execution.
Quantum
X Labs’ future success also depends on its continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled
employees. The market for highly skilled workers and leaders in the quantum computing industry is extremely competitive. In particular,
hiring qualified personnel specializing in engineering, software development and sales, as well as other technical staff and research
and development personnel is critical to its business and the development of its quantum computing and networking systems. Some of these
professionals are hard to find and Quantum X Labs may encounter significant competition in its efforts to hire them. Many of the other
companies with which Quantum X Labs competes for qualified personnel have greater financial and other resources than Quantum X Labs does.
The effective operation of its supply chain, including the acquisition of critical components and materials, the development of its quantum
computing and networking technologies, the commercialization of its quantum computing and networking technologies and the effective operation
of its managerial and operating systems all depend upon its ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel in the aforementioned
specialties. Additionally, changes in immigration and work permit laws and regulations or the administration or interpretation of such
laws or regulations, including changes following the recent U.S. federal elections, could impair its ability to attract and retain highly
qualified employees. If Quantum X Labs cannot attract, train and retain qualified personnel, in this competitive environment, Quantum
X Labs may experience delays in the development of its quantum computing and networking technologies and be otherwise unable to develop
and grow its business as projected, or even at all.
40
Quantum
X Labs’ future growth and success depends in part on its ability to sell effectively to government entities and large enterprises.
Quantum
X Labs’ customers and potential customers include domestic and international government agencies and large enterprises. Therefore,
its future success will depend on its ability to effectively sell its products to such customers. Sales to these end-customers involve
risks that may not be present (or that are present to a lesser extent) with sales to non-governmental agencies or smaller customers.
These risks include, but are not limited to, (i) increased purchasing power and leverage held by such customers in negotiating contractual
arrangements with us and (ii) longer sales cycles and the associated risk that substantial time and resources may be spent on a potential
end-customer that elects not to purchase its solutions. Sales to government agencies can be priced as fixed fee development contracts,
which involve additional risks. Cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts can adversely affect its results of operations and financial
condition if its costs do not qualify as allowable costs under applicable regulations. In addition, government contracts generally include
the ability of government agencies to terminate early which, if exercised, would result in a lower contract value and lower than anticipated
revenues generated by such arrangement. Additionally, such government contracts may limit its ability to do business with foreign governments
or prevent us from selling its products in certain countries.
Government
agencies and large organizations often undertake a significant evaluation process that results in a lengthy sales cycle. Quantum X Labs’
contracts with government agencies are typically structured in phases, with each phase subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
As a result, the actual scope of work performed pursuant to any such contracts, in addition to related contract revenue, could be less
than total contract value. In addition, product purchases by such organizations are frequently subject to budget constraints, multiple
approvals and unanticipated administrative, processing and other delays. Finally, these organizations typically have longer implementation
cycles, require greater product functionality and scalability, require a broader range of services, demand that vendors take on a larger
share of risks, require acceptance provisions that can lead to a delay in revenue recognition and expect greater payment flexibility.
All of these factors can add further risk to business conducted with these potential customers and could lead to lower revenue results
than originally anticipated.
Additionally,
changes in government spending could have adverse consequences on its financial position, results of operations and business. Quantum
X Labs’ anticipated future revenues from the U.S. government result from contracts awarded under various U.S. government programs.
Cost cutting, including through consolidation and elimination of duplicative organizations, has become a major initiative for certain
departments within the U.S. government. The funding of its programs is subject to the overall U.S. government budget and appropriation
decisions and processes, which are driven by numerous factors, including geo-political events and macroeconomic conditions.
Significant
reduction in U.S. government spending could have long-term consequences for its size and structure. In addition, changes in government
priorities and requirements could impact the funding, or the timing of funding, of its programs, which could negatively impact its results
of operations and financial condition.
Risks
Related to Quantum X Labs’ Intellectual Property
If
Quantum X Labs is unable to obtain and maintain effective intellectual property rights for its products, Quantum X Labs may not be able
to compete effectively in its markets.
Quantum
X Labs’ ability to protect its intellectual property is paramount to its business. Quantum X Labs relies upon a combination of
protections afforded to owners of patents, designs, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks, along with employee and third-party nondisclosure
agreements and other contractual restrictions to establish and protect Quantum X Labs’ intellectual property rights. In addition,
industry know-how and unpatented trade secrets in the fields of research, development and engineering are an important aspect of its
business by ensuring that its technology and strategic business assets remain confidential. Quantum X Labs pursues patent protection
when it develops a patentable invention and the benefits of obtaining a patent outweigh the risks of making the invention public through
patent filings.
41
Quantum
X Labs cannot offer any assurances about which, if any, patent applications will issue, the breadth of any such patent or whether any
issued patents will be found invalid and unenforceable or will be threatened by third parties. Any successful opposition to these patents
or any other patents owned by or licensed to us after patent issuance could deprive us of rights necessary for the successful commercialization
of any new products that Quantum X Labs may develop.
Even
if patents do successfully issue, and even if such patents cover its products, third parties may challenge their validity, enforceability,
or scope, which may result in such patents being narrowed, found unenforceable or invalidated. Furthermore, even if they are unchallenged,
its patent applications and any future patents may not adequately protect its intellectual property, provide exclusivity for its new
products, or prevent others from designing around its claims. Any of these outcomes could impair its ability to prevent competition from
third parties, which may have an adverse impact on its business.
If
Quantum X Labs cannot obtain and maintain effective patent rights for its products, Quantum X Labs may not be able to compete effectively,
and its business and results of operations would be harmed.
Intellectual
property rights of third parties could adversely affect its ability to commercialize its products, and Quantum X Labs might be required
to litigate or obtain licenses from third parties in order to develop or market its product candidates. Such litigation or licenses could
be costly or not available on commercially reasonable terms.
It
is inherently difficult to conclusively assess its freedom to operate without infringing on third party rights. Quantum X Labs’
competitive position may be adversely affected if existing patents or patents resulting from patent applications issued to third parties
or other third-party intellectual property rights are held to cover its products or elements thereof, or its manufacturing or uses relevant
to its development plans. In such cases, Quantum X Labs may not be in a position to develop or commercialize products or its product
candidates unless Quantum X Labs successfully pursues litigation to nullify or invalidate the third-party intellectual property right
concerned or enter into a license agreement with the intellectual property right holder, if available on commercially reasonable terms.
There may also be pending patent applications that if they result in issued patents, could be alleged to be infringed by its new products.
If such an infringement claim should be brought and be successful, Quantum X Labs may be required to pay substantial damages, be forced
to abandon its new products or seek a license from any patent holders. No assurances can be given that a license will be available on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
It
is also possible that Quantum X Labs has failed to identify relevant third-party patents or applications. For example, U.S. patent applications
filed before November 29, 2000 and certain U.S. patent applications filed after that date that will not be filed outside the United States
remain confidential until patents issue. Patent applications in the United States and in most of the other countries are published approximately
18 months after the earliest filing for which priority is claimed, with such earliest filing date being commonly referred to as the priority
date. Therefore, patent applications covering its new products or platform technology could have been filed by others without its knowledge.
Additionally, pending patent applications which have been published can, subject to certain limitations, be later amended in a manner
that could cover its platform technologies, its new products or the use of its new products. Third party intellectual property right
holders may also actively bring infringement claims against us. Quantum X Labs cannot guarantee that Quantum X Labs will be able to successfully
settle or otherwise resolve such infringement claims. If Quantum X Labs is unable to successfully settle future claims on terms acceptable
to us, Quantum X Labs may be required to engage in or continue costly, unpredictable and time-consuming litigation and may be prevented
from or experience substantial delays in pursuing the development of and/or marketing its new products. If Quantum X Labs fails in any
such dispute, in addition to being forced to pay damages, Quantum X Labs may be temporarily or permanently prohibited from commercializing
its new products that are held to be infringing. Quantum X Labs might, if possible, also be forced to redesign its new products so that
Quantum X Labs no longer infringes the third party’s intellectual property rights. Any of these events, even if Quantum X Labs
were ultimately to prevail, could require us to divert substantial financial and management resources that Quantum X Labs would otherwise
be able to devote to its business.
42
Patent
policy and rule changes could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of its patent applications and the enforcement
or defense of any issued patents.
Changes
in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the value of any
patents that may issue from its patent applications or narrow the scope of its patent protection. The laws of foreign countries may not
protect its rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often
lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until
18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Quantum X Labs therefore cannot be certain that it was the first to file the invention
claimed in its owned and licensed patent or pending applications, or that Quantum X Labs or its licensor were the first to file for patent
protection of such inventions. Assuming all other requirements for patentability are met, in the United States prior to March 15, 2013,
the first to make the claimed invention without undue delay in filing is entitled to the patent, while outside the United States, the
first to file a patent application is entitled to the patent. Since March 15, 2013, the United States has moved to a first to file system.
Changes to the way patent applications will be prosecuted could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of its
patent applications and the enforcement or defense of any issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on its business
and financial condition.
Quantum
X Labs may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce its intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming, and unsuccessful.
Competitors
may infringe its intellectual property. If Quantum X Labs were to initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent
covering one of its new products, the defendant could counterclaim that the patent covering its product candidate is invalid and/or unenforceable.
In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds
for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness,
or non-enablement. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent
withheld relevant information from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution.
The validity of U.S. patents may also be challenged in post-grant proceedings before the USPTO. The outcome following legal assertions
of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable.
Derivation
proceedings initiated by third parties or brought by us may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions and/or their scope with
respect to its patent or patent applications or those of its licensors. An unfavorable outcome could require us to cease using the related
technology or to attempt to license rights to it from the prevailing party. Quantum X Labs’ business could be harmed if the prevailing
party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms. Quantum X Labs’ defense of litigation or interference proceedings
may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distract its management and other employees. In addition, the uncertainties
associated with litigation could have a material adverse effect on its ability to raise the funds necessary to continue its research
programs, license necessary technology from third parties, or enter into development partnerships that would help us bring its new products
to market.
Furthermore,
because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some
of its confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. There could also be public announcements
of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these
results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of its ordinary shares.
Quantum
X Labs may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of its intellectual property.
Quantum
X Labs may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in, or right to compensation,
with respect to its current patent and patent applications, future patents or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor.
For example, Quantum X Labs may have inventorship disputes arise from conflicting obligations of consultants or others who are involved
in developing its products. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship or claiming
the right to compensation. If Quantum X Labs fails in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, Quantum X Labs
may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such
an outcome could have a material adverse effect on its business. Even if Quantum X Labs is successful in defending against such claims,
litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.
43
Quantum
X Labs may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing,
prosecuting, and defending patents on products, as well as monitoring their infringement in all countries throughout the world would
be prohibitively expensive, and its intellectual property rights in some countries can be less extensive than those in the United States.
In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws
in the United States.
A
substantial part of its potential commercial success will depend on its ability to maintain, establish and protect its intellectual property
assets, maintain trade secret protection, register copyrights and trademarks, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of
third parties. Quantum X Labs cannot assure investors that any of its currently pending or future patent applications will result in
issued patents and Quantum X Labs cannot predict how long it will take for such patent applications to issue as patents. There is a further
risk that the claims of each patent application, as filed, may change in scope during examination by the patent offices. Further, if
and where a patent is granted, there can be no guarantee that such patent will be valid or enforceable or that the patent will be granted
in other jurisdictions.
Competitors
may use its technologies in jurisdictions where Quantum X Labs has not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and may
also export otherwise infringing products to territories where Quantum X Labs has patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong
as that in the United States. These products may compete with its products. Future patents or other intellectual property rights may
not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.
Many
companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The
legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets,
and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the marketing of competing products in violation
of its proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce its patent rights in foreign jurisdictions, whether or not successful, could
result in substantial costs and divert its efforts and attention from other aspects of its business, could put its future patents at
risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and its patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties
to assert claims against us. Quantum X Labs may not prevail in any lawsuits that Quantum X Labs initiates, and the damages or other remedies
awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, its efforts to monitor and enforce its intellectual property rights
around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from intellectual property that Quantum X Labs develops
or licenses.
Quantum
X Labs may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by its employees, which could
result in litigation and adversely affect its business.
A
significant portion of Quantum X Labs’ intellectual property has been developed by its employees in the course of their employment
for us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope of his or her
employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions,” which belong to the employer, absent an agreement between
the employee and employer providing otherwise. The Patents Law also provides that if there is no agreement between an employer and an
employee determining whether the employee is entitled to receive consideration for service inventions and on what terms, this will be
determined by the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee, or the Committee, a body constituted under the Patents Law. Case law
clarifies that the right to receive consideration for “service inventions” can be waived by the employee and that in certain
circumstances, such waiver does not necessarily have to be explicit. The Committee will examine, on a case-by-case basis, the general
contractual framework between the parties, using interpretation rules of the general Israeli contract laws. Further, the Committee has
not yet determined one specific formula for calculating this remuneration, but rather uses the criteria specified in the Patents Law.
Although Quantum X Labs generally enters into agreements with its employees pursuant to which such individuals assign to us all rights
to any inventions created during and as a result of their employment with us, Quantum X Labs may face claims demanding remuneration in
consideration for assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, it could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties
to its current and/or former employees, or be forced to litigate such monetary claims (which will not affect its proprietary rights),
which could negatively affect its business.
44
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
Raising
additional capital or the issuance of additional equity securities would cause dilution to our existing stockholders and may affect the
rights of existing stockholder or the market price of our common stock.
We
may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings and collaborations and strategic
arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership
interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of
our common stock.
In
addition, our authorized share capital consists 500,000,000 shares of capital stock, including 490,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 26, 2026, we had 13,336,392
shares of common stock issued and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As of March 26, 2026, we also had (i) warrants
to purchase 11,695,211 shares of common stock outstanding; (ii) 862,004 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding
convertible debt; and (iii) 862,004 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants that are issuable upon the conversion
of the outstanding convertible debt. In addition, we may issue up to an additional 12,702,847 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants
in lieu thereof) upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with our acquisition of Quantum. Our board of directors may
issue, or reserve for issuance, up to 2,713,613 shares of common stock that are reserved and available for future awards under the Viewbix
Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, which might dilute your holdings substantially.
To
the extent that shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued or options and warrants are exercised, holders of our ordinary shares
will experience dilution. In addition, in the event of any future issuances of equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for ordinary shares, holders of our ordinary shares may experience dilution. We also consider from time to time various strategic alternatives
that could involve issuances of additional ordinary shares, including but not limited to acquisitions and business combinations, but
do not currently have any definitive plan to enter into any such transaction.
To
the extent any of these warrants are exercised and any additional warrants are issued and subsequently exercised, there will be further
dilution to our stockholders. Until the warrants expire, these warrant holders will have an opportunity to profit from any increase in
the market price of our common stock without assuming the risks of ownership. Holders of options and warrants may exercise these securities
at a time when we could obtain additional capital on terms more favorable.
The
exercise price of the warrants will dilute the voting interest of the owners of presently outstanding shares of common stock by adding
a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock. We have reserved shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise
of the warrants and may increase the shares reserved for these purposes in the future.
The
shares of our common stock, which are issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants may be sold in the public market pursuant
to Rule 144, if applicable. The sale of our common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and options described above,
or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
45
A
more active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop, and the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Although
our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and has been traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market since June 5, 2025, there has
been relatively limited trading volume in the market for our common stock, and a more active, liquid public trading market may not develop
or may not be sustained. Limited liquidity in the trading market for our common stock may adversely affect a stockholder’s ability
to sell its shares of common stock at the time it wishes to sell them or at a price that it considers acceptable. If a more active, liquid
public trading market does not develop, we may be limited in our ability to raise capital by selling shares of common stock and our ability
to acquire other companies or assets by using shares of our common stock as consideration. In addition, if there is a thin trading market
or “float” for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as
a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and,
as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile and it would be harder for you to liquidate any investment in
our common stock. Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our common
stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including:
●
our
quarterly or annual operating results;
●
changes
in our earnings estimates;
●
investment
recommendations by securities analysts following our business or our industry;
●
additions
or departures of key personnel;
●
changes
in the business, earnings estimates or market perceptions of our competitors;
●
our
failure to achieve operating results consistent with securities analysts’ projections;
●
changes
in industry, general market or economic conditions;
●
announcements
of legislative or regulatory changes; and
●
natural
disasters and political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism, political unrest, results of certain elections and votes,
emergence of a pandemic, or other widespread health emergencies (or concerns over the possibility of such an emergency), boycotts,
adoption or expansion of government trade restrictions, and other business restrictions.
The
stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices
of the securities of many companies. The changes often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of
our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us and these fluctuations could materially
reduce our stock price.
We
are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights.
We
have offered and sold our common stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions
is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors
and making the offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from registration
under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information
provided by investors themselves.
If
any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if
it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under
state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial preemption from the registration
or qualification provisions of such state statutes. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial
demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon
which it has relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies.
46
We
have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
We
have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Shares. We currently plan to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our
business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results
of operations and capital requirements, as well as other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
We
incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial
time to new compliance initiatives.
We
incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has imposed various requirements
on public companies including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Our management
and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations
have increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming
and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’
and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board
of directors. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial
reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, we will be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting the later of our second Annual Report on Form 10-K or the first Annual
Report on Form 10-K following the date on which we are no longer an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company. Our compliance
with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management
efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate
public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a
timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial
reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the value of our securities could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or
investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
Our
ability to successfully implement our business plan and comply with Section 404 requires us to be able to prepare timely and accurate
financial statements. We expect that we will need to continue to improve existing, and implement new operational and financial systems,
procedures and controls to manage our business effectively. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new
or enhanced systems, procedures or controls, may cause our operations to suffer and we may be unable to conclude that our internal control
over financial reporting is effective and to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our auditors as required under Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This, in turn, could have an adverse impact on value of our securities, and could adversely affect our
ability to access the capital markets.
We
are a smaller reporting company and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to such companies,
our common stock may be less attractive to investors.
We
are a smaller reporting company, (i.e. a company with “public float” held by non-affiliates with a market value of less than
$250 million) and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public
companies. We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock
less attractive as a result of our taking advantage of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a
result of our choices, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
47
Shares
of common stock eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From
time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage
transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant
to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement.
Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information
and notice requirements. Any substantial sales of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock.
If
we fail to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum listing requirements, our common stock will be subject to delisting. Our ability
to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if our common stock
delisted.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain our listing, we are required to satisfy certain
continued listing requirements, including, among other things, minimum bid price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, minimum
stockholders’ equity (or other financial metrics), corporate governance requirements, and timely filing of periodic reports with
the SEC.
There
can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards in the future. If we fail to satisfy
any of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, we may receive a deficiency notice from Nasdaq and, depending on the nature of
the deficiency, may be afforded a limited period of time to regain compliance. However, certain deficiencies may not be subject to a
cure period or may result in immediate delisting. If we do not regain compliance within any applicable cure period, or if Nasdaq determines
that we are not eligible for a compliance period, Nasdaq may determine to delist our common stock.
On
January 26, 2026, Nasdaq filed a rule proposal with the SEC that would permit the immediate suspension and delisting of a company listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market if its market value of listed securities remains below $5 million for 30 consecutive business days. As of
the date of this Annual Report, our market value of listed securities is above $5 million.
If
we do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted. A delisting of our common stock from
Nasdaq could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our
common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable
to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and fewer business development opportunities
and strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that our common stock, if delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future,
would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service, the Over-The-Counter Markets or the pink sheets. Delisting
from the Nasdaq Capital Market, or even the issuance of a notice of potential delisting, would also result in negative publicity, make
it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, reduce security analysts’
coverage of us and diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. Additionally, the threat of delisting or the delisting of our
common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market could reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our shares of common stock,
thereby further restricting our ability to obtain equity financing, and it could reduce our ability to retain, attract and motivate our
directors, officers and employees. In addition, as a consequence of any such delisting, our stock price could be negatively affected
and our stockholders would likely find it more difficult to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the prices of, our common stock.
Accordingly, any failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our common stock.
48
Our
share price has fluctuated significantly and could continue to fluctuate significantly.
The
market price for our common stock, as well as the prices of shares of other technology and ad-tech companies, has been volatile. The
following factors may cause significant fluctuations in the market price of our common stock:
●
negative
fluctuations in our quarterly revenue and earnings or those of our competitors;
●
pending
sales into the market due to the sale of large blocks of shares, due to, among other reasons, the expiration of any tax-related or
contractual lock-ups with respect to significant amounts of our shares of common stock;
●
changes
in our senior management;
●
changes
in regulations or in policies of Search Engines or other industry conditions;
●
mergers
and acquisitions by us or our competitors;
●
technological
innovations;
●
the
introduction of new products; and
●
the
conditions of the securities markets, political, economic and other developments worldwide.
In
addition, share prices of many technology companies in general and ad-tech companies in particular fluctuate significantly for reasons
that may be unrelated or disproportionate to operating results. The factors discussed above may depress or cause volatility to our share
price, regardless of our actual operating results.
Delaware
law contains provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company, prevent attempts to replace or remove
current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Provisions
in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving us that our stockholders
may consider favorable. For example, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to ten million shares
of “blank check” preferred stock. As a result, without further stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has the authority
to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock. With these rights, preferred stockholders could
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.
We
are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Under these provisions,
if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person
for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent
a change in control of us. An “interested stockholder” is, generally, a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding
voting stock or an affiliate of ours who has owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to
certain exceptions as described in the DGCL.
Were
our common stock to become subject to the penny stock rules then this could result in U.S. broker-dealers becoming discouraged from effecting
transactions in shares of our common stock.
Rule
15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. If we do not retain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or do not meet certain net tangible asset or average revenue requirements
and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. For any transaction involving
a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny
stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
49
In
order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information
and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the
risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure
schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made
the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior
to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock”
rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions
payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies
available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Scrutiny
of sustainability and environmental, social, and governance initiatives could increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Public
companies have recently faced scrutiny related to environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) practices and disclosures
from certain investors, capital providers, shareholder advocacy groups, other market participants and other stakeholder groups. Such
scrutiny may result in increased costs, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. If our ESG practices and reporting do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations, we may
be subject to investor or regulator engagement regarding such matters. Our failure to comply with any applicable ESG rules or regulations
could lead to penalties and adversely impact our reputation, access to capital and employee retention. Such ESG matters may also impact
our third-party contract manufacturers and other third parties on which we rely, which may augment or cause additional impacts on our
business, financial condition, or results of operations
Our
business, operating results and growth rates may be adversely affected by current or future unfavorable economic and market conditions
and adverse developments with respect to financial institutions and associated liquidity risk.
Our
business depends on the economic health of the global economies. If the conditions in the global economies remain uncertain or continue
to be volatile, or if they deteriorate, including as a result of the impact of military conflict, such as the war between Russia and
Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely
affected. Economic weakness, inflation and increases in interest rates, limited availability of credit, liquidity shortages and constrained
capital spending have at times in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in challenging and delayed sales cycles, slower adoption
of new technologies and increased price competition, and could negatively affect our ability to forecast future periods, which could
result in an inability to satisfy demand for our products and a loss of market share.
In
addition, increases in inflation raise our costs for commodities, labor, materials and services and other costs required to grow and
operate our business, and failure to secure these on reasonable terms may adversely impact our financial condition. Additionally, increases
in inflation, geopolitical developments and global supply chain disruptions, have caused, and may in the future cause, global economic
uncertainty and uncertainty about the interest rate environment, which may make it more difficult, costly or dilutive for us to secure
additional financing. A failure to adequately respond to these risks could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
There
can be no assurance that future credit and financial market instability and a deterioration in confidence in economic conditions will
not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, liquidity shortages, volatile business
environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, or if adverse
developments are experienced by financial institutions, it may cause short-term liquidity risk and also make any necessary debt or equity
financing more difficult, more costly, more onerous with respect to financial and operating covenants and more dilutive. Failure to secure
any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial
performance and stock price and could require us to alter our operating plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our service
providers, financial institutions, manufacturers, suppliers and other partners may be adversely affected by the foregoing risks, which
could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.
50
Risks
Related to our Operations in Israel
Conditions
in Israel, including Israel’s conflicts with Hamas and other parties in the region, as well as political and economic instability,
may impede our ability to operate and harm our financial results.
All
of our operations are conducted in Israel and all members of our board of directors and management as well as all of our employees and
consultants, including employees of our service providers, are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions
in the Middle East may affect our business directly. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts
have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries and terrorist organizations active in the region, including Iran, Hamas (an
Islamist militia and political group in the Gaza Strip) and Hezbollah (an Islamist militia and political group in Lebanon).
In
October 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. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against
these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. In January 2025, Israel and Hamas entered
into a ceasefire agreement, which remained in effect until March 18, 2025, when hostilities resumed. As of October 9, 2025, Israel and
Hamas entered into a renewed ceasefire agreement calling for a permanent end of the war. However, there are no assurances that such as
agreement will hold. While the conflict has created heightened security concerns, disruptions to business operations, and economic instability,
the ceasefire may contribute to improved regional stability. However, the security situation remains fluid, and any renewed military
actions, restrictions, or government-imposed measures could adversely affect our operations, supply chains, and financial condition.
Since
the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah
terror organization) and on other fronts from various extremist groups in region, such as the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia
groups in Syria and Iraq. In October 2024, Israel began limited ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and in November 2024,
a ceasefire was brokered between Israel and Hezbollah. In March 2026, hostilities resumed along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon,
when Hezbollah resumed its attacks as part of a broader regional escalation. In response, Israel resumed military operations against
Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In
addition, in April 2024 and October 2024, Iran launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened
to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. In addition, in response to ongoing Iranian aggression
and support of proxy attacks against Israel, on June 13, 2025, Israel conducted a series of preemptive defensive air strikes in Iran
targeting Iran’s nuclear program and military commanders. While a ceasefire was reached in June 2025 following 12 days of hostilities,
on February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, including attacks on strategic
military infrastructure and leadership targets, with the stated aim of degrading Iran’s capacity to conduct or support hostile
operations against them. In response, Iran has fired missiles and drones toward population centers and military installations in Israel,
Europe and neighboring countries in the Gulf region, and also launched counter-strikes against U.S. forces and allied bases throughout
the Gulf region. A broader regional conflict involving additional state and non-state actors remains a significant risk. Iran is also
believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement
in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. These situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent
events which may affect Israel and us. Continued military escalation, retaliatory actions, or broader regional involvement may adversely
affect economic conditions, disrupt markets, and create uncertainty that could negatively impact our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
51
In
connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations,
several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. None of our directors, officers,
employees or consultants were called to reserve duty and there has been no material impact on our business from past reserve services.
Although many of such military reservists have since been released, they may be called up for additional reserve duty, depending on developments
in the war in Gaza and along Israel’s other borders. Military service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us for
an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
As of the date of this Annual Report, none of our directors, officers, employees or consultants are serving in active or reserve duty.
Since
the war broke out on October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected by this situation, and we have not experienced
disruptions to our product or business development activities. However the intensity and duration of the security situation in Israel
have been difficult to predict, as are the economic implications on our business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general.
If the war continues for a long period of time or expands to other fronts, our operations may be harmed.
Our
insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East or for
any resulting disruption in our operations. Although the Israeli government has in the past covered the reinstatement value of direct
damages that were caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or,
if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred, and the government may cease providing such coverage or
the coverage might not suffice to cover potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect
on our business.
Exchange
rate fluctuations between foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar may negatively affect our earnings.
We
anticipate being subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates because our reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
Our revenues are currently primarily payable in U.S. dollars and we expect our future revenues to be denominated primarily in U.S. dollars
and Euros. However, certain amount of our expenses is in NIS. As a result, our operating results are exposed primarily to movements in
the USD/NIS. In addition, we are exposed to the currency fluctuation risks relating to the recording of our expenses in U.S. dollars.
We may, in the future, decide to enter into currency hedging transactions. These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from
material adverse effects. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or the rate of appreciation or devaluation
(if any) of the shekel against the dollar. Appreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar increases the U.S. dollar cost of our NIS
denominated expenses and may adversely impact our net loss or net income (if any). Based on our 2025 expense levels, a 10% appreciation
of the NIS against the U.S. dollar would have increased our net loss by approximately $119 thousand.
Foreign
exchange rates may fluctuate due to many factors, including interest rate differentials between markets, capital flows, monetary policy
decisions, geopolitical events, global macroeconomic developments, and investor sentiment toward Israel and regional markets. These factors
may cause the NIS to appreciate or depreciate against the U.S. dollar independent of local inflation levels. If the NIS strengthens without
a corresponding increase in our foreign currency revenues, our U.S. dollar measured costs will rise.
The
value of the NIS relative to the U.S. dollar, and other currencies has fluctuated significantly. For example, the shekel appreciated
on average by 12.5% relative to the U.S. dollar in 2025, after depreciating by 0.4% in 2024 and by 3.1% in 2023, thereby increasing,
in 2025, the U.S. dollar cost of our shekel denominated expenses. Any significant revaluation of the NIS may materially and adversely
affect our cash flows, revenues, and financial condition. Fluctuations in the NIS exchange rate, or even the appearance of instability
in such exchange rate, could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.
52
It
may be difficult to enforce a judgment of a U.S. court against us, our officers and directors or the Israeli experts named in our reports
filed with the SEC in Israel or the United States, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or to serve process on our officers
and directors and these experts.
Our
directors reside outside of the United States, and most of the assets of our directors are located outside of the United States. Therefore,
a judgment obtained against us, or our directors, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities
laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It may also be difficult for you to effect
service of process on our directors in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel.
Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most
appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that
Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must
be proven as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be
governed by Israeli law.
There
is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing
a judgment against us in Israel, you may not be able to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
We
have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan.
We
are continuously working to ensure that we satisfy generally applicable industry standards for the assessment, identification, and management
of risks from cybersecurity threats that may pose a risk to our information technology systems, including from third parties with whom
we work with.
Our
cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies,
reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic,
operational, and financial risk areas. As of the date of this Annual Report, the majority of the Company’s IT systems are computed
using leading secure cloud platforms.
Our
cybersecurity risk management program includes:
●
risk
assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and
our broader enterprise IT environment;
●
routine
conduct of penetration tests on our computer systems to evaluate the security of the systems and identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities;
●
employee
training programs regarding cybersecurity risks and protocols;
●
the
usage of secure software or platforms designed to protect our IT systems against cybersecurity risks, such as two-factor authentication
systems, anti-virus and ransomware programs or the usage of secure cloud platforms for computing our IT systems;
●
the
use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;
and
●
a
cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents.
We
have no t identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial
condition.

Cybersecurity
Governance
Our
Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and oversees management’s implementation
of our cybersecurity risk management program.
The
Board of Directors receives regular reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Board, as
necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential.
Our
management team , including our Chief Executive Officer, the VP R&D and Data Protection Officer of Cortex, and our external advisors,
is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our
overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity
consultants.
Our
management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means,
which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public
or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT
environment.

The
maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2023 Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 625,000 shares of common
stock plus (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2024 and on January 1st of each calendar
year thereafter and through January 1, 2034, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of our outstanding capital stock on the last day of the immediately
preceding calendar year; and (B) such smaller amount as determined by our Board of Directors if so determined prior to January 1 of a
calendar year in which the increase will occur, provided that no more than 625,000 shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise
of Incentive Stock Options. On July 11, 2025, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved
for issuance under the 2023 Plan by up to 2,713,613 shares of common stock.
Administration .
The Board of Directors, or a committee established or appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the 2023 Plan (the “Administrator”),
administers the 2023 Plan. Under the 2023 Plan, the Administrator has the authority, subject to applicable law, to interpret the terms
of the 2023 Plan and any award agreements or awards granted thereunder, designate recipients of awards, determine and amend the terms
of awards, including the exercise price of an option award, the fair market value of our common stock, the time and vesting schedule
applicable to an award or the method of payment for an award, accelerate or amend the vesting schedule applicable to an award, prescribe
the forms of agreement for use under the 2023 Plan and take all other actions and make all other determinations necessary for the administration
of the 2023 Plan.
The
Administrator also has the authority to approve the conversion, substitution, cancellation or suspension under and in accordance with
the 2023 Plan of any or all option awards or shares of common stock, and the authority to modify option awards to eligible individuals
who are foreign nationals or are individuals who are employed outside Israel or the United State of America to recognize differences
in local law, tax policy or custom, in order to effectuate the purposes of the 2023 Plan but without amending the 2023 Plan. The Administrator
also has the authority to amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2023 Plan or terminate the 2023 Plan at any time. No
termination or amendment of the 2023 Plan shall affect any then outstanding award unless expressly provided by the Administrator.
Eligibility.
The 2023 Plan provides for granting awards under various tax regimes, including, without limitation, in compliance with Section 102
of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) 5271-1961 (the “Ordinance”), and Section 3(i) of the Ordinance and for
awards granted to our United States employees or service providers, including those who are deemed to be residents of the United States
for tax purposes, Section 422 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code.
56
Section
102 of the Ordinance allows employees, directors and officers who are not controlling stockholders and are considered Israeli residents
to receive favorable tax treatment for compensation in the form of shares or options under certain terms and conditions. Any non-employee
service providers and controlling stockholders who are considered Israeli residents may only be granted options under section 3(i) of
the Ordinance, which does not provide for similar tax benefits. Section 102 includes two alternatives for tax treatment involving the
issuance of options or shares to a trustee for the benefit of the grantees and also includes an additional alternative for the issuance
of options or shares directly to the grantee. Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance, the most favorable tax treatment for the grantee, permits
the issuance to a trustee under the “capital gain track”.
Grants.
All awards granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement, in a form approved, from time to time, by the
Administrator in its sole discretion. The award agreement will set forth the terms and conditions of the award, including the type of
award, number of shares subject to such award, vesting schedule and conditions (including performance goals or measures) and the exercise
price, if applicable. Certain awards under the 2023 Plan may constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section
409A of the Code, which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards.
Unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator and stated in the award agreement, and subject to the conditions of the 2023 Plan, awards vest
and become exercisable under the following schedule: 25% of the shares covered by the award on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement
date determined by the Administrator (and in the absence of such determination, the date on which such award was granted) and 6.25% of
the shares covered by the award at the end of each subsequent three-month period thereafter over the course of the following three years;
provided that the grantee remains continuously as an employee or provides services to us throughout such vesting dates. Each award will
expire seven years from the date of the grant thereof, unless such shorter term of expiration is otherwise designated by the Administrator.
Awards.
The 2023 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including Incentive Stock Options and nonqualified stock options), shares
of common stock, restricted stock, RSUs and other stock-based awards. To the extent required by applicable law, the exercise price of
an option may not be less than the par value of the shares (if the shares bear a par value) for which such option is exercisable.
Options
granted under the 2023 Plan to our employees who are U.S. residents may qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or may be non-qualified
stock options. The exercise price of a non-qualified stock option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on
the date of grant of such option or such other amount as may be required pursuant to the section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a non-qualified stock option may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if
such Award is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of that
complies with section 424(a) of the Code 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or any successor guidance. The exercise
price of an Incentive Stock Option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant or
such other amount as may be required pursuant to the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with
an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such award is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution
for another option in a manner that complies with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. In the case of Incentive Stock Options
granted to a ten percent stockholder, (i) the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the underlying share
on the date of grant, and (ii) the exercise period shall not exceed five (5) years from the effective date of grant of such grant.
Exercise.
An award under the 2023 Plan may be exercised by providing us with a written or electronic notice of exercise and full payment of
the exercise price for such shares underlying the award, if applicable, in such form and method as may be determined by the Administrator
and permitted by applicable law. An award may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. With regard to tax withholding, exercise price
and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2023 Plan, the Administrator may, in its discretion, accept
cash, provide for net withholding of shares in a net exercise mechanism or direct a securities broker to sell shares and deliver all
or a part of the proceeds to us or the trustee.
57
Transferability.
Other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under the 2023 Plan or by the Administrator, neither
the options nor any right in connection with such options are assignable or transferable.
Termination
of Employment. In the event of termination of a grantee’s employment or service with us or any of our affiliates, all vested
and exercisable awards held by such grantee as of the date of termination may be exercised within three months after such date of termination,
unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, but in no event later than the date of expiration of the award as set forth in the
award agreement. After such three-month period, all such unexercised awards will terminate and the shares covered by such awards shall
again be available for issuance under the 2023 Plan.
In
the event of termination of a grantee’s employment or service with us or any of our affiliates due to such grantee’s death
or permanent disability, or in the event of the grantee’s death within the three month period (or such longer period as determined
by the Administrator) following his or her termination of service, all vested and exercisable awards held by such grantee as of the date
of termination may be exercised by the grantee or the grantee’s legal guardian, estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the award by bequest or inheritance, as applicable, within one year after such date of termination, unless otherwise provided
by the Administrator, but in no event later than the date of expiration of the award as set forth in the award agreement. Any awards
which are unvested as of the date of such termination or which are vested but not then exercised within the one-year period following
such date, will terminate and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the 2023 Plan. In the event
that the employment or service of a grantee shall terminate on account of such grantee’s retirement, all awards of such grantee
that are exercisable at the time of such retirement may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised at any
time within the three-month period after the date of such retirement (or such different period as the Administrator shall prescribe).
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if a grantee’s employment or services with us or any of our affiliates is terminated for
“cause” (as defined in the 2023 Plan), all outstanding awards held by such grantee (whether vested or unvested) will terminate
on the date of such termination and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the 2023 Plan.
Voting
Rights. Except with respect to restricted stock awards, grantees will not have the same rights as a shareholder with respect to any
of our shares covered by an award until the award has vested and/or the grantee has exercised such award, paid any exercise price for
such award and becomes the record holder of the shares. With respect to restricted stock awards, grantees will possess all incidents
of ownership of the restricted shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends on such shares.
Dividends.
Grantees holding restricted share awards will be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the shares
underlying the restricted share award. Any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or similar transaction will be subject
to the restrictions of the original restricted stock award. Grantees holding RSUs will not be eligible to receive dividend but may be
eligible to receive dividend equivalents.
Transactions.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of our stock,
the Administrator in its sole discretion may, without the need for a consent of any holder of an award, make an appropriate adjustment
in order to adjust (i) the number and class of shares reserved and available for grants of awards, (ii) the number and class of stock
covered by outstanding awards, (iii) the exercise price per share covered by any award, (iv) the terms and conditions concerning vesting
and exercisability and the term and duration of the outstanding awards, (v) the type or class of security, asset or right underlying
the award (which need not be only that of ours, and may be that of the surviving corporation or any affiliate thereof or such other entity
party to any of the above transactions), and (vi) any other terms of the award that in the opinion of the Administrator should be adjusted;
provided that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded to the nearest whole share unless otherwise determined
by the Administrator and the company shall have no obligation to make any cash or other payment with respect to such fractional shares.
In the event of a distribution of a cash dividend to all shareholders, the Administrator may determine, without the consent of any holder
of an award, that the exercise price of an outstanding and unexercised award shall be reduced by an amount equal to the per share gross
dividend amount distributed by us, subject to applicable law.
58
In
the event of a merger or consolidation of our business or a sale of all, or substantially all, of our stock or assets or other transaction
having a similar effect on us, or change in the composition of the Board of Directors, or liquidation or dissolution, or such other transaction
or circumstances that our Board of Directors determines to be a relevant transaction, then without the consent of the grantee and without
any prior notice requirement, (i) unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any outstanding award will be assumed or substituted
by us, or such successor corporation, or by any parent or affiliate thereof, or (ii) regardless of whether or not awards are assumed
or substituted (a) provide the grantee with the option to exercise the award as to all or part of the shares, and may provide for an
acceleration of vesting of unvested awards, (b) cancel the award and pay in cash, our shares, the acquirer or other corporation which
is a party to such transaction or other property as determined by the Administrator as fair in the circumstances, or (c) provide that
the terms of any award shall be otherwise amended, modified or terminated, as determined by the Administrator to be fair in the circumstances.
Intercompany
Agreements
In
connection with the adoption of our 2023 Plan, on March 7, 2023 we entered into certain intercompany agreements with two of our subsidiaries,
Viewbix Israel and Gix Media (the “Intercompany Agreements”).
The
Intercompany Agreements provide for the offer of awards under our 2023 Plan to service providers of Viewbix Israel and Gix Media, as
our affiliates under the 2023 Plan (“Affiliates”). Under the Intercompany Agreements, our Affiliates will each bear the costs
of awards granted to its service providers under the 2023 Plan and will reimburse the Company upon the issuance of shares of our common
stock pursuant to an award, but in any event not prior to the vesting of an award, for the costs of the shares issued to its service
providers participating in the 2023 Plan. The reimbursement amount shall be equal to the lower of (a) the book expense for such award
as recorded on the financial statements of the respective Affiliate, determined and calculated according to either IFRS, 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 our common stock
at the time of exercise of an option or at the time of vesting of an RSU, as applicable.

Recent
Developments
Quantum
Acquisition
On
December 15, 2025, we entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Quantum Exchange Agreement”) with Quantum and certain
of the shareholders of Quantum (the “Quantum Shareholders”) pursuant to which we agreed to issue to the Quantum Shareholders
an aggregate of up to 40.0% of our issued and outstanding capital stock as of December 15, 2025, inclusive of the 800,000 shares of our
common stock issuable by us in a private placement offering that we entered into in November 2025 (the “Private Placement Shares”),
consisting of (i) up to 2,666,000 shares of our common stock, representing 19.99% of our issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Viewbix
Exchange Shares”), inclusive of the Private Placement Shares, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 4,447,595 shares of
our common stock, representing the balance of up to the 40.0%, as of December 15, 2025, less the Viewbix Exchange Shares (the “Viewbix
Exchange Pre-Funded Warrants”), in exchange for up to 100%, but not less than 85%, of Quantum’s issued and outstanding share
capital on a fully diluted and post-closing basis, equal to an amount up to 589,319 of Quantum’s ordinary shares.
In
addition, pursuant to the Quantum Exchange Agreement, we may issue up to 12,702,847 additional shares of our common stock or pre-funded
warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (collectively, the “Earn-Out Securities”), upon the achievement of certain
milestones as follows: (i) the issuance of up to 1,975,998 Earn-Out Securities upon the submission of five (5) patent applications including
provisional applications in total, across at least three (3) distinct sub-fields within the quantum sector, by the Quantum or any of
its Portfolio Companies (as defined in the Quantum Exchange Agreement) during the 18-month period following the Quantum Closing Date
(as defined below), (ii) the issuance of up to 3,436,519 Earn-Out Securities upon the closing of listing, public offering, or an M&A
Transaction (as defined in the Quantum Exchange Agreement) of any Portfolio Company of Quantum, at a pre-money valuation of no less than
$20 million during the twenty four-month period following the Quantum Closing Date, and (iii) the issuance of up to 7,290,330 Earn-Out
Securities upon the earlier of: (1) a capital raise of at least $10 million into either Viewbix or Quantum at a pre-money valuation of
no less than $250 million; or (2) closing of any M&A Transaction of Quantum, at a pre-money valuation not less than $250 million
during the 48-month period following the Quantum Closing Date. Pursuant to the Quantum Exchange Agreement, the Earn-Out Securities may
become issuable to the Quantum Shareholders only following the 12-month anniversary of the Quantum Closing Date, and only upon achievement
of the applicable earn-out milestones set forth above.
60
The
Viewbix Exchange Shares and the shares of common stock k issuable upon the exercise of the Viewbix Exchange Pre-Funded Warrants issuable
to the Quantum Shareholders will be subject to a 12-month lock-up period following the Quantum Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.
The Viewbix Exchange Pre-Funded Warrants and the pre-funded warrants issuable as Earn-Out Securities are, or will be, immediately exercisable
upon issuance at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will not expire until exercised in full.
The
transaction closed on March 4, 2026 (the “Quantum Closing Date”) and resulted in us acquiring 100% of Quantum’s issued
and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted and post-closing basis and Quantum becoming a majority-owned subsidiary of Viewbix.
November
2025 PIPE
On
November 5, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Original SPA”) with certain accredited investors
(the “Investors”) in connection with a private placement (the “November 2025 Private Placement”). The Original
SPA as a closing condition had that we shall have entered into a definitive and binding agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital
on a fully diluted basis of Quantum. As of January 1, 2026, we had entered into a definitive and binding agreement to acquire only 85.01%
of the share capital on a fully diluted basis of Quantum (the “Quantum Acquisition”). Accordingly, we and the Investors have amended certain terms of the November 2025 Private Placement.
On
January 1, 2026, we entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement (the “November 2025 Purchase Agreement”)
with the Investors pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 800,000 shares of our common stock (the “November 2025
Private Placement Shares”). Each November 2025 Private Placement Share was sold together with a number of warrants equal to the
80% of the total number of November 2025 Private Placement Shares sold in the November 2025 Private Placement, or in total warrants to
purchase up to an aggregate of 640,000 shares of our common stock (the “November 2025 Common Warrants” and together with
the November 2025 Private Placement Shares, the “November 2025 PIPE Securities”), at a combined purchase price of $1.75 per
November 2025 Private Placement Share and accompanying November 2025 Common Warrant. The November 2025 Private Placement closed on March
4, 2026 (the “Closing Date”).
The
November 2025 Common Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $2.625 per share, subject to adjustment
as set forth therein, and will expire five years from the issuance date. The November 2025 Common Warrants may be exercised on a cashless
basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the shares of our common stock underlying the November 2025 Common
Warrants. A holder of the November 2025 Common Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its November 2025 Common Warrants
if the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such
holder’s affiliates or any other persons whose beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock would be aggregated with the
holder’s or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own shares of common stock in excess of 4.99% of the number
of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
In
connection with the November 2025 Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement on November 5, 2025 (the “November
2025 Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors. Pursuant to the November 2025 Registration Rights Agreement, we are required
to file a resale registration statement (the “November 2025 Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale
the November 2025 Private Placement Shares and the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the November 2025 Common Warrants
within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), and to have such Registration Statement declared
effective within sixty (60) calendar days after the Filing Date in the event the Registration Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, or
ninety (90) calendar days of the Filing Date in the event the November 2025 Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC. If, due to
a shutdown or suspension of operations of the U.S. federal government or the SEC, the Registration Statement cannot be declared effective,
the Corporation shall not be deemed to be in breach of the Registration Rights Agreement for failure to cause such Registration Statement
to be declared effective during such period.
61
We
also entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd. (“the Advisor”)
pursuant to which the Advisor provided advisory services in connection with the November 2025 Private Placement. We paid a commission
to the Advisor of (i) a cash fee of $70,000 and (ii) a warrant to purchase 32,000 shares of our common stock (the “Advisor Warrant”),
which was conditioned upon the closing of the November 2025 Private Placement. The Advisor Warrant has the same terms as the November
2025 Common Warrants. In addition, in connection with the closing of the November 2025 Private Placement, we repaid $200,000 of the outstanding
loan amount owed to the Advisor pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Facility Agreement, dated July 22, 2024, by and between
Viewbix and by and between certain lenders including the Advisor.
Aggregate
gross proceeds to us in respect of the November 2025 Private Placement were approximately $1.4 million, before deducting fees payable
to the Advisor and other offering expenses payable by us. If the November 2025 Common Warrants are exercised in cash in full this would
result in an additional $1.68 million of gross proceeds.
Sale
of Cortex
On
November 9, 2025, Gix Media, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Cortex, and the Founders entered into the Cortex Purchase Agreement
with Pro Sportority, a subsidiary of Minute Media.
Pursuant
to the Cortex Purchase Agreement, Pro Sportority acquired from Gix Media all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Cortex held
by Gix Media, constituting 80% of Cortex’s issued and outstanding share capital, and, together with similar agreements entered
into with the other shareholders of Cortex and the cancellation of all outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible securities
of the Cortex, which resulted in Pro Sportority owning 100% of Cortex’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted
basis. The Cortex Sale was signed and closed on November 9, 2025 (the “Cortex Closing”). As a result, Cortex became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pro Sportority and Cortex ceased being a majority-owned direct subsidiary of Gix Media and an indirect subsidiary of Viewbix.
The
aggregate consideration payable to Gix Media is $800,000, consisting of (i) $200,000 in cash, and (ii) $600,000 in the form of 5,161
newly issued Preferred J Shares of Minute Media (the “Minute Media Shares”), the most senior class of preferred shares of
Minute Media. Minute Media retains a call option to repurchase the Minute Media Shares from Gix Media under certain conditions, including
insolvency or a change of control of Gix Media.
Gix
Media is subject to a two-year non-compete and non-solicitation covenant following the Cortex Closing.
As
a result of the Cortex Sale, Cortex is presented as discontinued operations in our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024.
July
2025 PIPE
On
July 11, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 2025 Purchase Agreement”) with certain
accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold in a private placement, (the “July 2025 Private Placement”)
an aggregate of 848,763 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 77,160 shares of common stock and common warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate of 925,923 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $4.86 per share of common stock and associated
common warrant and an offering price of $4.8599 per pre-funded warrant and associated common warrant.
The
pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will not expire until exercised
in full. The common warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $4.74 per share, subject to adjustment
as set forth therein, and will expire five and a half years from the issuance date. The common warrants may be exercised on a cashless
basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the shares of shares of common stock underlying the common warrants.
62
In
connection with the July 2025 Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “July 2025 Registration
Rights Agreement”) with each investor. Pursuant to the July 2025 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was required to file
a resale registration statement with the SEC (the “July 2025 PIPE Registration Statement”) to register for resale the shares
of common stock issued in the July 2025 Private Placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants
and common warrants issued in the July 2025 Private Placement within fourteen (14) trading days of the signing date of the July 2025
Purchase Agreement (the “July 2025 PIPE Signing Date”) and to have such July 2025 PIPE Registration Statement declared effective
within sixty (60) calendar days after the July 2025 PIPE Signing Date in the event the July 2025 PIPE Registration Statement is not reviewed
by the SEC, or ninety (90) calendar days of the July 2025 PIPE Signing Date in the event the July 2025 PIPE Registration Statement is
reviewed by the SEC. The Company filed the July 2025 PIPE Registration Statement on July 23, 2025, which was declared effective by the
SEC on July 31, 2025.
In
connection with the July 2025 Private Placement, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the “July 2025 Placement Agent
Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) dated July 11, 2025, pursuant to which
the Placement Agent served as the placement agent for in connection with the July 2025 Private Placement. The Company paid the
Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received in the July 2025 Private Placement and $50,000 for
reasonable legal fees and disbursements for the Placement Agent’s counsel. In addition, pursuant to the July 2025 Placement Agent
Agreement, the Company agreed to abide by certain customary standstill restrictions for a period of thirty (30) days following the later
of the closing of the July 2025 Private Placement and the date that the July 2025 PIPE Registration Statement is declared effective by
the SEC.
Aggregate
gross proceeds to the Company in respect of the July 2025 Private Placement were approximately $4.5 million, before deducting fees payable
to the Placement Agent and other offering expenses payable by us. If the warrants are exercised in cash in full this would result in
an additional $4.4 million of gross proceeds. The July 2025 Private Placement closed on July 14, 2025.
Filing
of Insolvency Petition Against Gix Media
On
March 27, 2025, a petition (the “Petition”) was filed with the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa (the “Court”)
for a court order to commence insolvency proceedings under the Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, 5778 – 2018 against
Gix Media. The Petition was filed by a primary service provider (the “Service Provider”) of Gix Media claiming that Gix Media
owes it approximately $260,000 (excluding linkage differentials and interest) and that Gix Media is unable to repay its debts to the
Service Provider.
On
July 16, 2025, the Court approved a settlement agreement entered into between Gix Media, the Service Provider and other creditors of
Gix Media that joined the Petition (collectively, the “Service Providers”) with respect to the debts owed by Gix Media to

to the Metagramm Shareholders an aggregate of 19.99% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a pro rata and post-closing basis,
equal to 1,323,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of Metagramm’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully
diluted and post-closing basis, equal to 718,520 Metagramm ordinary shares. The transaction closed on March 24, 2025 and resulted in
Metagramm becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viewbix.

Financing
Agreement
Effective
as of January 29, 2025, Gix Media and Leumi entered into a fifth addendum, to a certain financing agreement with Leumi for the provision
of a line of credit in the total amount of up to $3.5 million and a long-term loan totaling $6 million, which Gix Media used to finance
the acquisition of Cortex on October 13, 2021 (the “Cortex Acquisition” and “Financing Agreement”), which was
effective as of January 29, 2025, pursuant to which, inter alia: (i) the existing credit facility to Gix Media was extended to March
31, 2025; (ii) the repayment schedule of all outstanding obligations under the long term bank loans of Gix Media under the Financing
Agreement, was deferred until the actual deposit by the Company in Gix Media’s account of an investment account equal to the amounts
of the deferred long term bank loans owned by Gix Media (the “Investment Amount”), which in any event shall be no later than
March 31, 2025 (the “Deposit Date”); (iii) upon such deposit date, all deferred payments shall be immediately repaid using
the deposited amounts and any remaining amounts from any other sources; (iv) all remaining future due payments will be repaid as scheduled
until the end of the updated terms of each long term bank loan. On March 30, 2025, Gix Media and Leumi entered into a sixth additional
addendum to the Financing Agreement, which extended the Deposit Date until May 20, 2025. On July 8, 2025, Gix Media and Leumi entered
into an agreement in respect of the Financing Agreement (the “July 2025 Repayment and Financing Agreement”), which further
extended the Deposit Date until October 1, 2025. In connection with the July 2025 Repayment Financing Agreement, Gix Media agreed to
repay $2.4 million to Leumi by October 1, 2025. In addition, in connection with the July 2025 Repayment Financing Agreement, as of October
1, 2025, Bank Leumi shall grant to Gix Media a loan in an amount equal to Gix Media’s then-current outstanding principal portion
of the loan plus interest, fees and expenses. The loan shall accrue interest at Bank Leumi’s applicable rate as of October 1, 2025,
shall be repaid on a monthly basis and shall have a term of 24 months. During July 2025, Gix Media repaid a total of $2.4 million to
Bank Leumi in accordance with the July 2025 Repayment and Financing Agreement. On July 10, 2025, Gix Media received a new loan in the
amount of $1.56 million to be repaid in 24 consecutive monthly payments beginning in October 2025, at an annual interest rate of SOFR
+ 4.92%.
Cortex
Adverse Effect
On
November 9, 2025, Gix Media completed the Cortex Sale, which resulted in Cortex ceasing to be a consolidated indirect subsidiary of the
Company and a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Gix Media. In addition, Cortex is presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Sale of Cortex” above.
Prior
to the Cortex Sale, in April 2024, the Company was informed by Cortex, that certain recent developments relating to publishers that are
categorized by a number of programmatic advertisers as “Made for Advertising” (“MFA”) sites, including decisions
made by leading media programmatic advertisers to prioritize different media categories and implement publishing restrictions in connection
with MFA, have materially affected Cortex’s business and operations. In connection with the foregoing, a significant customer of
Cortex notified Cortex that in light of the foregoing changes relating to MFA that customer decided to stop advertising on Cortex’s
Websites, which decision significantly and negatively impacted Cortex’s future revenue streams (the “Cortex Adverse Effect”).
Consolidated Results of
Operations
Following
the Cortex Sale, Cortex is presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Sale of Cortex” above and Note 3 to our
consolidated financial statements.
Results
of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024
Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $1,569 thousand a decrease of $3,400 thousand as compared to $4,969 thousand for the year
end December 31, 2024.
64
Our
revenue from Gix Media’s Search Platform’s direct model was $1,518 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared
to $3,200 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the number of search referrals to the
Gix Major Customer conducted by users from the direct model was 21.51 million, compared to 55.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2024. The decrease in user search referrals is primarily due to changes and updates in internet browsers’ technology, which have
reduced the scale of distribution of the Company’s products through the direct model. The Company anticipates that its revenues
from add-ons to internet browsers will continue to decrease due to changes and updates in internet browsers’ technology while its
revenues from the Search to Search model will increase.
Our
revenue from Gix Media’s Search Platform’s indirect model was $25 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025,
compared to $1,769 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the number of search
referrals to the Gix Major Customer conducted by users from the indirect model was 0.5 million, as compared to 42.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in user search referrals through the indirect model is primarily due to: (i) a decrease
in the number of searches received from Gix Media’s third-party strategic partners through the indirect model mainly as a
result of decrease in the credit received from third-party strategic partners and (ii) global changes in a main Search Engine which
led to reductions in search base advertising budgets of Gix Media’s customers. In order to increase the revenues from the
Search Platform’s indirect model, the Company engaged with new third-party strategic partners in 2025.
Traffic acquisition and related costs for the year ended December 31, 2025,
were $297 thousand, a decrease of $1,433 thousand as compared to $1,730 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for
the decrease in the year ended December 31, 2025, is due to the decrease in revenues as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024,
as mentioned above.
Research and
development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $69 thousand as compared to $830 thousand for the year ended
December 31, 2024. The reason for the decrease in the year ended December 31, 2025 is due to the expense reduction primarily in
salaries and professional services during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, were
$100 thousand as compared to $309 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for the decrease in the year ended December
31, 2025, is due to the expense reduction primarily in salaries, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
General and administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025,
were $1,625 thousand as compared to $1,853 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for the decrease in the year ended
December 31, 2025, is due to expense reduction primarily in salaries, rental and headquarters expenses, offset by an increase due to higher
professional services expenses in the period following the Uplist in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December
31, 2024.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses for the year ended December
31, 2025, were $848 thousand, a slight increase as compared to $813 thousand during the same period in the prior year.
Our
other expenses were $814 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $271 during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, were primarily related to costs incurred in connection with the Uplist and
registration for the resale of the Company’s common stock. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were primarily
related to costs incurred in connection with the Uplist which were offset by other income attributable to governmental grants
received by Gix Media from the Israel Tax Authority in connection with the war in Israel.
65
Our net financial expense was $11,253 thousand for the year ended December
31, 2025, as compared to net financial expense of $2,610 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for the increase during
the year ended December 31, 2025 is mainly attributable to financing expenses related to financial instruments arising from facility agreements
entered into during June and July 2024, which are measured at fair value.
Our income tax benefit was $39 thousand for the year ended December 31,
2025, as compared to $131 thousand income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for the increase in our income
tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2025, is due to the decrease in income before tax.
Net loss from
discontinued operations decreased by $3,111 thousand to $7,417 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $10,528
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. For further details regarding the amounts recorded in respect of discontinued
operations in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, please refer to note 3 to our consolidated financial
statements.

of a long-term loans and $867 thousand in short-term convertible loans.

as of December 31, 2024.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we had negative cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations of $2,769 thousand
as compared to positive cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations of $1,400 thousand during the year ended December
31, 2024. The reason for the decrease in the year ended December 31, 2025 is due to: (i) a decrease in changes in assets and liabilities
items in an amount of $760 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared an increase in the amount of $2,042 thousand
during the year ended December 31, 2024 mainly due to fact that Gix Media paid approximately $1.13 million to the Service Providers as
part of the settlement agreement, and (ii) an increase in the net loss continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 in
an amount of $9,820 thousand as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the decrease in the company’s revenues.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we had negative cash flows from operating activities of discontinuing
operations of $694 thousand as compared to positive cash flows from operating activities of discontinuing operations of $143 thousand
during the year ended December 31, 2024.
66

cash flow from investing activities of continuing operations as compared to $0 thousand cash flow from investing activities of continuing
operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in the cash flow from investing activities of continuing operations is
due to net cash from the sale of Cortex shares.
During the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we had $0 thousand cash flow from investing activities of discontinuing operations as compared
to $1 thousand negative cash flow from investing activities of discontinuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we had $3,800 thousand
positive cash flow from financing activities of continuing operations as compared to $2,113 thousand negative cash flow from financing
activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to proceeds of $2,222
thousand from the exercise of warrants in connection with facility agreements and a private placement, $4,023 thousand received under
the July 2025 Purchase Agreement, net repayments of bank loans and convertible loans, which totaled $2,441 thousand compared to $2,242
thousand net repayments of bank loans and convertible loans during the year ended December 31, 2024.

through the issuance of shares of its common stock to affect a business combination.
Gix
Media has provided several liens under the Financing Agreement with Leumi in connection with the Cortex Transaction, as follows: (1)
a floating lien on Gix Media’s assets; (2) a lien on Gix Media’s bank account in Leumi; (3) a lien on Gix Media’s rights
under the Cortex Transaction; (4) a fixed lien on Gix Media’s intellectual property; and (5) a lien on all of Gix Media’s
holdings in Cortex.
The
Company has also provided several liens under the Financing Agreement with Leumi in connection with the Cortex Transaction, as follows:
(1) a guarantee to Leumi of all of Gix Media’s obligations and undertakings to Leumi unlimited in amount; (2) a subordination letter
signed by the company to Leumi; (3) A first ranking all asset charge over all of the assets of the Company; and (4) a Deposit Account
Control Agreement over the Company’s bank accounts.
According
to the Financing Agreement, Gix Media undertook to meet a financial covenant over the life of the loans. As of December 31, 2025, Gix
Media is in compliance with the financial covenant in connection with the Financing Agreement.
Going
Concern
During
the period ended December 31 2025, we experienced a decrease in its revenues from the Search Platforms and Cortex’s digital content
platform as a result of the Cortex Adverse Effect, 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, the Company’s operations were adversely affected.
As a result of
such decreases, for the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an operating loss from continuing operations of $2,184 thousand
compared to $837 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2024, and a net loss of $20,815 thousand compared to $14,106 thousand
during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents $1,018 thousand, bank loans and
convertible loans of $2,494 thousand and an accumulated deficit of $46,047 thousand. Such a decline in revenues raise a substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern during the 12-month period following the issuance date of our consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
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, the company entered into the facility agreements and a private
placement, through which it has raised capital. Additionally, following the consummation of the Uplist, the Company received additional
funds from the exercise of warrants and the receipt of additional loans in connection with a private placement and facility agreements.
Furthermore, on July 14, 2025, the Company closed the July 2025 Private Placement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which
the Company received gross proceeds of $4.5 million. In addition, on March 4, 2026, the Company closed the November 2025 Private Placement
with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company received gross proceeds of $1.4 million. However, there is significant
uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to secure additional funds when needed.
Our
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
67
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.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. We identify here a policy
that entail significant judgments or estimates by management.
Business Combination
- Metagramm acquisition
See
notes 1C and 8 C to our consolidated financial
statements.
In March 24, 2025 (the “acquisition
date”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Metagramm for a total consideration
of $6.17 million, of which $1,010 thousands was recorded as contingent consideration related to a potential earn-out provision, which
is based on achieving certain financing and revenue milestones of Metagramm during the years of the earn-out provision terms.
The transaction was accounted
for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values which primarily consisted of technology, customer
relationships and goodwill intangible assets of $550 thousands, $390 thousands and $5,309 thousands, respectively (collectively the “Intangible
Assets”). In addition, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration (“Earn-out Liability”) of
$1,010 thousands as of the acquisition date.
Third party appraisal firms and other consultants are engaged to assist management in determining the fair values
of the Intangible Assets and Earn-out Liability. The Company primarily uses the income approach in the valuation of intangible assets
and uses the Monte Carlo Method in the valuation of the Earn-Out Liability. The income approach to valuation is based on the present value
of future cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. This approach to valuation requires management to make significant
estimates and assumptions including but not limited to: discount rates, future cash flows, technology, and customer relationships. The
Monte Carlo Method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to: discount rates, future
cash flows and other management’s estimates. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the
management of the company and the acquired company and are inherently uncertain.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Viewbix
Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Viewbix Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1I to the financial statements, the decrease in revenues
and cash flows from operations may result in the Company’s inability to repay its debt obligations during the 12-month period following
the issuance date of these financial statements. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1I. These
conditions raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated
or required to be communicated to the board of directors and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Business
combinations – accounting for the acquisition of Metagramm Software Ltd. — Refer to Note 1c and 8c to the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Critical
Audit Matter Description
In
March 24, 2025 (the “acquisition date”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share
capital of Metagramm Software Ltd. (“Metagramm”) for a total consideration of $6.17 million, of which $1,010 thousands was
recorded as contingent consideration related to a potential earn-out provision, which is based on achieving certain financing and revenue
milestones of Metagramm during the years of the earn-out provision terms.
The transaction was accounted
for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values which primarily consisted of technology, customer
relationships and goodwill intangible assets of $550 thousands, $390 thousands and $5,309 thousands, respectively (collectively the “Intangible
Assets”). In addition, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration (“Earn-out Liability”)
of $1,010 thousands as of the acquisition date.
We identified the valuation of the Intangible Assets and Earn-out Liability as a critical
audit matter because auditing management’s estimations of the fair value of the Intangible Assets and Earn-out Liability were complex
due to the significant assumptions and judgment required by management in determining the fair value of the Intangible Assets and Earn-out
Liability. The Company used the income approach to measure the fair value of the Intangible Assets and the Monte Carlo Method to measure
the fair value of the Earn-out Liability (the “Valuation Models”). The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of the Intangible Assets and Earn-out Liability included, among others, forecasted revenues, revenues growth rates and discount
rates. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in
the Audit
Our audit procedures related
to forecasts used by management to estimate the fair value of the Intangible Assets and Earn-out Liability included the following, among
others:
● We assessed the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future cash flows by comparing the forecasts
to historical results and by evaluating revenue trends and material events that occurred after the acquisition date and their potential
influence on management’s forecasts, as well as by testing the other underlying source information for accuracy and completeness.
● We assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimations relating to the Earn-out Liability milestones
by inquiring management personnel, comparing them to historical results and by evaluating trends, circumstances and material events that
occurred after the acquisition date and their potential influence on management’s estimations.
● With
the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the Valuation Models and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions
including discount rate, tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, developed a range of independent estimates and compared
those to the discount rate selected by management.

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. 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 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 were consolidated both by the Parent Company and Xylo Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as 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 is presented
in these financial statements, for all periods presented, reflecting the historical cost of the Company and Gix Media, 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 the former majority-owned subsidiary of Gix Media, Cortex Media
Group Ltd. (“Cortex”), operate in the field of digital advertising. As of November 2025, the Group had two main activities
which were reported as separate operating segments: the search segment and the digital content segment. On November 9, 2025, Gix Media
sold all of its holdings in Cortex (see notes 8.A, 8.B). Subsequently, the Group ceased its operations in 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 was 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, by utilizing such content to obtain and route internet user traffic
for its customers. The digital content segment activity was conducted by Cortex until November 9, 2025 (see note 8.B).
On
March 24, 2025, the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement with Metagramm Software Ltd. (“Metagramm”) and
all of the shareholders of Metagramm, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100 %
of Metagramm’s share capital in exchange for consideration equal to $ 5,159 .
The consideration was paid to Metagramm’s shareholders in the form of 1,323,000
shares of common stock of the Company, representing 19.99 %
of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital (see note 8.C).
Metagramm

D.
Impact of the War in Israel
In
October 2023, Israel was attacked by the Hamas terrorist organization and entered a state of war on several fronts (the “War”).
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 a reduction of other expenses, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 2024.
In
June 2025, following escalating threats and intelligence reports of imminent attacks, Israel conducted preemptive strikes on military
and nuclear infrastructure in Iran. Iran responded with drones and missiles attacks, some of which caused civilian casualties and infrastructure
damage. After 12 days of hostilities, a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was reached in June 2025.
In
October 2025, Israel and Hamas entered into a ceasefire agreement calling for a permanent end of the War.
However, the situation remains volatile, and the risk of a broader regional escalation involving additional actors still exists.
On
February 28, 2026, after the reporting date, “The Lion’s Roar Operation” (the “Operation”) commenced, a
joint military operation by the United States and Israel involving attacks in Iran. In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles and
unmanned aerial vehicles toward Israel, Europe and neighboring countries in the Gulf region, and also launched counter-strikes against U.S. forces and
allied bases throughout the Gulf region. These events have resulted in civilian casualties
and property damage in Israel. Additionally, Hezbollah, a terrorist organization in Lebanon, joined the attacks against Israel and Israel
has started military operations in Lebanon.
Following
the commencement of the Operation, Israel’s Home Front Command announced a “special home front situation” and updated
safety guidelines that include, among other measures, restrictions on passenger flights, limitations on gatherings, broad reserve recruitment,
and temporary closure of certain businesses, which has contributed to a partial reduction in economic activity.
As
the Group’s customers are mainly in the U.S. and Europe, its operations, revenues, and profitability are not directly affected by
the Operation. However, this is an ongoing event and there is uncertainty regarding its duration, nature, and scope, management is unable
to reasonably estimate the extent of the impact at this time.
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

Going Concern
During
the second half of 2023 and the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an operating loss from
continuing operations of $ 2,184 compared to $ 837 during the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company recorded a net
loss of $ 20,815 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $ 14,106 during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December
31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,018 , bank loans of $ 1,627 and accumulated deficit of $ 46,047 .
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 and 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,
the Company raised funds during 2025, increasing its cash balance, as follows: (1) pursuant to the consummation of the
Uplist (as described in note 1.G above), the Company received during June and July 2025, aggregate gross proceeds of $ 2,852
in connection with a private placement (see note 15.B) and three facility agreements (see notes 11.D, 11.E, 11.F), consisting of $ 630
from the receipt of additional loans and $ 2,222
from the exercise of warrants and (2) on July 14, 2025, the Company closed an additional private placement transaction with certain
accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company received gross proceeds of $ 4.5
million (see note 15.C).
M oreover , on March 4, 2026, the Company closed a private placement transaction with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the
Company received gross proceeds of $ 1.4 million (see note 20.B).

Going Concern (Cont.)
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there remains uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to secure additional funding when needed. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at
least a year after the issuance date of the accompanying financial statements.
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: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation :
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and were prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
B.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis its assumptions, including those
related to contingencies, income taxes, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and leases. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C.
Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Transactions
Most
of the revenues of the Company are received in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the costs of the Company are incurred
in U.S. dollars. Therefore, the Company’s management believes that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the Company and each of its subsidiaries operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly,
monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement
of the Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) No. 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASC No. 830”).

Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Transactions (Cont.)
Under
ASC No. 830, transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-U.S.
dollar currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances,
respectively. For non-U.S. dollar transactions and other items in the statements of operations (indicated below), the following exchange
rates are used: (i) for transactions exchange rates at transaction dates and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance
sheet items such as depreciation and amortization) historical exchange rates. Currency transaction gains and losses are presented in
the financial income net, as appropriate.
D.
Cash and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments, which are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at
the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
E.
Restricted Deposits
Restricted
deposits are held as security for the Group’s credit card and rental obligations.
F.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses
Accounts
receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Group evaluates its outstanding accounts
receivables and establishes an allowance for credit losses based on information available on their credit condition, current aging, historical
experience, future economic and market conditions. These allowances are reevaluated and adjusted periodically as additional information
is available. Changes in the allowance for expected credit losses are recorded under general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations.

H.
Leases
In
accordance with ASC No. 842 “Leases”, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. If an arrangement
is a lease, the Company determines whether it is an operating lease or a finance lease at the lease commencement date. Operating leases
are included in operating lease right-of-use asset, operating lease liabilities – current, and non-current operating lease liabilities
in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Operating
lease assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent
the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the estimated lease.
Operating
lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
The
Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value
of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on factors such as the lease term, credit standing and the economic
environment of the location of the lease. Variable lease payments, including payments based on an index or a rate, are expensed as incurred
and are not included within the operating lease asset and operating lease liabilities. The Company does not separate non-lease components
from lease components for its leases of real estate.
The
Company’s lease terms were the noncancelable periods, including any rent-free periods provided by the lessor, and included options
to extend or terminate the lease when it was reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. At lease inception, and in
subsequent periods as necessary, the Company estimated the lease term based on its assessment of extension and termination options that
were reasonably certain to be exercised. Lease costs were recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The
Company does not recognize operating lease asset and operating lease liabilities for leases with terms shorter than 12 months. Lease
costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When
a lease is terminated before the expiration of the lease term, the Company derecognizes the right of use asset and corresponding lease
liability. Any difference is recognized as a gain or loss related to the termination of the lease.
The
Company had a material non-functional currency lease. Lease liabilities in respect of leases denominated in a foreign currency were remeasured
using the exchange rate at each reporting date. Lease assets were measured at historical rates, which were not affected by subsequent
changes in the exchange rates.

Revenue Recognition
As
described in note 1.C, the Company generates revenues from obtaining internet user traffic and routing such traffic to its customers.
The Company is entitled to receive consideration for its service upon each individual internet user traffic routed to and monetized by
its customers.
The
Company’s revenues are measured according to the ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”).
Under ASC 606, revenues are measured according to the amount of consideration that the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as VAT taxes. Revenues
are presented net of VAT. The Company’s payments terms are less than one year. Therefore, no finance component is recognized.
As
the Company operates as the primary obligor in its arrangements and has sole discretion in determining which of its customers internet
user traffic is to be routed, revenues are presented on a gross basis.
J.
Traffic-acquisition and related costs
Traffic
acquisition and related costs consist primarily of fees paid to suppliers in connection with the Company’s internet traffic sources,
as well as internal costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of such traffic. Traffic acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
K.
Research and development expenses
Research
and development expenses consist of costs incurred in the process of developing improvements of software products and systems or new
products and are charged to the consolidated statements of operations as incurred.
L.
Income taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, and (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes
the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for carry forward tax losses. Deferred taxes are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation
allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain
tax positions are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, under which a company may recognize the tax benefit
from an uncertain tax position claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxation authorities, based on the technical merits of the position, at the largest benefit that
has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized
tax benefits, are recognized in tax expense.

Contingencies
The
Company records accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional
information becomes available. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
N.
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. U.S. 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.
O.
Debt Modification and Extinguishments
The
Company evaluates amendments to its debt in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt–Modification and Extinguishments for modification and
extinguishment accounting.
This
evaluation includes comparing the net present value of cash flows of the new debt to the old debt to determine if changes greater than
10 percent occurred. In instances where the net present value of future cash flows changed more than 10 percent, the Company applies
extinguishment accounting and determines the fair value of its debt based on factors available to the Company.

Business Combinations
The
Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).
ASC 805 specifies the accounting for business combinations and the criteria for recognizing and reporting intangible assets apart from
goodwill. ASC 805 requires recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest at the acquisition date,
measured at their fair values as of that date.
Acquisition-related
intangible assets result from the Company’s acquisitions of businesses accounted for under the purchase method and consist of the
fair value of identifiable intangible assets including customer relations, technology, as well as goodwill. Goodwill is the amount by
which the acquisition cost exceeds the fair values of identifiable acquired net assets on the date of purchase. Acquisition-related definite
lived intangible assets are reported at cost, net of accumulated amortization. For transactions between entities under common control
see note 1.B.
Q.
Deconsolidation of a Subsidiary
The
Company accounts for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary by recognizing a net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company
measured as the difference between: (a) the aggregate of all of the following: (1) the fair value of any consideration received and (2)
the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest in the former subsidiary (including any accumulated other comprehensive income attributable
to the non-controlling interest) at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated, and (b) the carrying amount of the former subsidiary’s
assets and liabilities.
R.
Goodwill
The
Company’s goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration paid or transferred including the fair value of contingent consideration
over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Goodwill
is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment, in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”
(“ASC 350”), at the reporting unit level, at least annually at December 31 each year, or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The
goodwill impairment test is performed by evaluating an initial qualitative assessment of the likelihood of impairment. If this step indicates
that the qualitative assessment does not result in a more likely than not indication of impairment, no further impairment testing is
required. If it does result in a more likely than not indication of impairment, the impairment test is performed.
In
the impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair
value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets allocated to that unit, goodwill is not impaired, and no further
testing is required. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, then the second step of the impairment
test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment (see note 7.B).

Intangible assets, other than goodwill
Intangible
assets are identifiable non-monetary assets that have no physical substance. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized
and are tested for impairment once a year, or whenever there is a sign indicating that impairment may have occurred, in accordance with
ASC 350. An estimate of the useful life of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life is examined at the end of each reporting
year. A change in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset that changes from indefinite-lived to finite-lived is treated prospectively.
Intangible
assets with a finite useful life are amortized in a straight line over their estimated useful life subject to impairment testing. A change
in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is treated prospectively.
The
useful life used to amortize intangible assets with a finite useful life is at the following annual rates:

Impairment of long-lived assets
The
Company’s long-lived assets to be held or used, including property and equipment, right of use assets and intangible assets subject
to amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plants and Equipment” (“ASC 360”),
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount
of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
U.
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 consolidated statements
of operations.
V.
Equity Investments
The
Company measures equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company accounts for equity
investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value as cost method investments under the measurement alternative to the extent
such investments are not subject to consolidation or the equity method. Under the measurement alternative, these financial instruments
are carried at cost, less any impairment (assessed quarterly for triggering events), adjusted for changes resulting from observable price
changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Share-based compensation
The
Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which
requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value
of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods, which is
generally the vesting period, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
The
Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its share options awards. The option-pricing
model requires several assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected share price volatility and the expected option term.
The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost for option awards on an accelerated basis over the employee’s requisite service
period and accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The
Company recognized share-based compensation expenses of restricted stock units based on the grant-date fair values. The compensation
expenses are recognized using the graded vesting attribution method based on the vesting terms of each unit included in the award resulting
in an accelerated recognition of compensation costs.
X.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC
815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial
instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements
for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among
other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time
of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For
issued warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are recorded as a component of additional paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are classified
as liability and are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
Y.
Net loss per share
In
accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”), basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing
net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if share options, warrants or other commitments to issue ordinary
shares were exercised or equity awards vested, resulting in the issuance of ordinary shares that could share in the net earnings of the
Company.
For
periods in which the Company has generated a net loss, the Company’s basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per
share, as the effects of common stock equivalents outstanding and shares issuable upon exercise of share options or warrants are antidilutive
and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1. Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases
of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization
recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense
caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations
that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed
under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3. Disclose
a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
4. Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
An entity is not precluded from providing additional voluntary disclosures that may provide investors with additional decision-useful
information. This ASU is effective for Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2027. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impacts on its consolidated financial statements that
could derive from the adoption of this standard.
ASU
2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270)
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), to
amend the guidance in “Interim Reporting” (Topic 270). The update provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency
and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure
principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives
of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning
January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.

in connection with the sale of Cortex (see note 8.B), whose operations are attributable to the digital content reporting unit. The Company
determined that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and recognized an impairment loss of $ 5,525 for

6: 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 was 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 included renewal options that it was 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 an early termination, Gix Media paid 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, net in its statement
of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Cortex Acquisition
On
October 13, 2021, Gix Media acquired 70% (on a fully diluted basis) of the shares of Cortex (the “Cortex Transaction”), a
private company operating in the field of online media and advertising. In consideration for the Cortex Transaction, Gix Media paid NIS
35 million in cash (approximately $11 million). The Cortex Transaction was financed by Gix Media’s existing cash balances and substantially
by debt through a bank financing in the aggregate amount of $ 9.5 million, that consists of a line of credit of up to $ 3.5 million and
a long-term loan of $ 6 million (see note 11.B).
On
January 23, 2023, Gix Media acquired an additional 10 % of Cortex, increasing its holdings to 80 % of the share capital of Cortex in consideration
for $ 2.6 million (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 $ 1.5 million (see note 11.B).
B.
Cortex Sale
On
November 9, 2025 (the “Cortex Closing Date”), Gix Media, Cortex, and certain founders of Cortex entered into a share purchase
agreement (the “Cortex Sale Agreement”) with Pro Sportority (Israel) Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), a subsidiary of
Minute Media Inc. (the “Parent”). Pursuant to the Cortex Sale Agreement, the Purchaser acquired from Gix Media all of its
holdings in Cortex, representing 80 % of Cortex’s issued and outstanding share capital.
The
aggregate consideration paid to Gix Media was $ 800 , consisting of (i) $ 200 in cash, and (ii) $ 600 in the form of 5,161 newly issued Preferred
J Shares of the Parent (the “Parent Shares”), the most senior class of preferred shares of the Parent.
The
Parent retains a call option to repurchase the Parent Shares from Gix Media under certain conditions, including insolvency or a change
of control of Gix Media. In addition, Gix Media is subject to a two-year non-compete and non-solicitation covenant following the Cortex
Closing Date.

Metagramm Acquisition:
On
July 31, 2024, the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement with Metagramm pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue
to Metagramm 9.99 % of its issued and outstanding share capital in exchange for 19.99 % of Metagramm’s issued and outstanding share
capital (the “2024 SEA”).
On
March 24, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a new securities exchange agreement with Metagramm and all
of the shareholders of Metagramm which replaced and terminated the 2024 SEA (the “2025 SEA”). Pursuant to the 2025 SEA, the
Company acquired 100 % of Metagramm’s shares in exchange for consideration of $ 5,159 . The consideration was paid to Metagramm’s
shareholders in the form of 1,323,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 19.99 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding
share capital immediately following the acquisition (the “Metagramm Acquisition”).
In
addition, the Company agreed to pay Metagramm’s shareholders cash earn-out payments on a pro rata basis of up to a cumulative sum
of $ 2.0 million, contingent on achieving certain financing and revenue milestones within 3 years following the Closing Date (see note
15.C).

The total consideration has been allocated between assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair

The
goodwill that arose from the acquisition consists of synergies expected from the activities of the Company and Metagramm. The estimation
of the fair value of these intangible assets was determined using the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future
cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. The estimation of the fair value of the earn-out liability was calculated
based on Monte Carlo method.
Other
current assets were estimated to have fair values that approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The
estimated useful lives for the acquired technology and customer relations of Metagramm Acquisition are 5 years and 2.5 years, respectively.
The goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

Gix Media’s Loan Agreement and short-term loans:
In
connection with the Cortex Transaction (see note 8.A), on October 13, 2021, Gix Media entered into a financing agreement with Bank Leumi
Le Israel Ltd (“Leumi”), an Israeli bank, for the provision of a line of credit in the total amount of up to $ 3,500 and a
long-term loan totaling $ 6,000 , which Gix Media used to finance the Cortex Transaction (the “Financing Agreement”).
The
Financing Agreement included the following main terms:
1)
A
loan of $ 6,000 to be provided to Gix Media which will be repaid in 48 monthly payments at an annual interest rate of LIBOR + 4.12% .
2)
A
renewable monthly line of credit, of up to $ 3,500 to be provided to Gix Media, which will be available for utilization for a period
of two years and will be determined on a monthly basis, at 80 % of Gix Media’s accounts receivable balance (“Gix Media
Credit Line”). The amounts that will be withdrawn from the Gix Media Credit Line will bear annual interest of LIBOR + 3.2% .
3)
Gix
Media undertook to meet financial covenants over the life of the loans as follows: the ratio of debt to EBITDA, based on the Gix
Media’s consolidated financial statements in all 4 consecutive quarters, will not exceed 2.4 in the first two years and will
not exceed 1.75 in the following two years. As of December 31, 2023, Gix Media didn’t meet the financial covenants in connection
with the Financing Agreement, however, Gix Media has received a waiver by Leumi to be effected until April 16, 2024, according to
which, Leumi agreed to delay its right for immediate repayment of the loans. Accordingly, the Company did not reclassify long-term
loans, net of current maturities item in the balance sheet as a current liability.
4)
As
part of the Financing Agreement, Gix Media and the Company provided several liens in favor of Leumi (see note 14).
On
July 25, 2022, Gix Media and Leumi entered into an addendum to the Financing Agreement, according to which, Leumi will provide Gix Media

existing cash balances and by the Additional Loan received on January 17, 2023, in the amount of $ 1,500 to be repaid in 42 monthly payments
at an annual interest rate of SOFR + 5.37% .
On
October 10, 2023, Gix Media and Leumi entered into a second addendum to the Financing Agreement, according to which, Leumi extended the
Gix Media Credit Line by one year, until October 13, 2024. The amounts that are drawn from the Gix Media Credit Line bear an annual interest
of SOFR + 4.05% . In addition, according to the second addendum the 2.4 ratio of debt to EBITDA was extended by nine months to June 30,
2024.
On
June 13, 2024, Gix Media and Leumi entered into a third addendum to the Financing Agreement between the parties which was effective from
May 15, 2024, pursuant to which, inter alia: (i) the addendum will be effective until August 31, 2024; (ii) the Company is obligated
to transfer to Gix Media $ 600 ; (iii) a new covenant which replaced the previous financial covenant, measured by reference to positive
EBTIDA was implemented; (iv) all payments due to Leumi Long-term bank loan were deferred to August 31, 2024 and from September 1, 2024,
