E. | Going Concern |
The Company has incurred $169 in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $80 in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company has $2,449 stockholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2022 and $2,158 in stockholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2021 and $17 in negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $14 in negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Since January 2020, the Company has significantly reduced its operations and expenses of Viewbix Israel. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating losses and to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources and through additional raises of capital.
Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The COVID-19 pandemic which originated in China in late 2019, has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies and financial markets worldwide, placed constraints on the operations of businesses, decreased consumer mobility and activity, and caused significant economic volatility in the United States, Israel and international capital markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an economic recession, high unemployment rates and other disruptions, both in the United States, Israel and the rest of the world. The Company is actively monitoring the pandemic and is taking any necessary measures to respond to the situation in cooperation with the various stakeholders. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will continue to assess the situation, including government-imposed restrictions, market by market. The COVID-19 pandemic has not yet currently adversely affected our business, however, it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, the continued spread of COVID-19, and any additional measures taken by governments, health officials or by the Company in response to such spread, could have on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

As of the March 31, 2022 (“Reporting Date”), the closing conditions of the Merger Agreement have not been fulfilled yet.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Merger Effective Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) all outstanding ordinary shares of Gix Media, having no par value (the “Gix Media Shares”) will be converted into shares of Common Stock, such that immediately following the Gix Merger, holders of Gix Media Shares will hold 90% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Company, Gix Media and Merger Sub.
On December 21, 2021, the shareholders of each of Gix Media and Merger Sub approved the Merger Agreement. Consummation of the Gix Merger is subject to certain additional closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the Company filing an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to change the Company’s name to “Gix Media, Inc.”, (ii) obtaining approval from certain third parties, including the approval of Bank Leumi due to certain liens registered in its favor against ordinary shares of Gix Media; (iii) conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible instruments into restricted shares of Common Stock and (iv) obtaining a tax pre-ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority relating to the Agreement.
Reverse Stock Split
In connection with the Gix Merger, on February 13, 2022, the requisite majority of the Company’s stockholders approved certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, including, but not limited to (i) a name change from “Viewbix Inc.” to “Gix Media, Inc.”, (ii) a reverse stock split of the Company’s common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-28 (the “Planned Reverse Split”), (iii) a staggered board structure, and (iv) certain other provisions therein. Pursuant to the Planned Reverse Stock Split, each twenty-eight (28) shares of the Company’s common stock will be automatically converted, without any further action by the stockholders, into one share of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as the result of the reverse stock split. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive one share of common stock in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the reverse stock split.
The Company intends to effect the foregoing amended and restated certificate of incorporation upon the closing of the Gix Merger, thus, as of the Reporting Date the Planned Reverse Stock Split has not been effected.

Recent Developments
Merger with Gix Media Ltd.
On December 5, 2021, the Company entered into a certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Gix Media Ltd., an Israeli company and the majority-owned subsidiary of Gix Internet Ltd. (“Parent Company”), in the field of MarTech (Marketing Technology) solutions, primarily search and content monetization (“Gix Media”) and Vmedia Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, following the Merger (as defined herein), and upon satisfaction of additional closing conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into Gix Media, with Gix Media being the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Gix Merger”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Merger Effective Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) all outstanding ordinary shares of Gix Media, having no par value (the “Gix Media Shares”) will be converted into shares of Common Stock, such that immediately following the Gix Merger, holders of Gix Media Shares will hold 90% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Company, Gix Media and Merger Sub.

Results of Operations
Results of Operations During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Our revenues were $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $8 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The reason for the decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is due to the Company’s cost-reduction measures that were initially implemented beginning on January 1, 2021.
-21- |
Our research and development expenses were $14 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is a slight decrease as compared to $16 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Our selling and marketing expenses were $0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is a slight decrease as compared to $2 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Our general and administrative expenses were $68 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, slight increase as compared to the $63 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Our other expenses were $13 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our other expenses are due to expenses in connection with the Merger Agreement.
Our net financial expenses were $75 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net financial income of $7 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The reason for the increase during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is due to certain financial expenses in connection with the loan to the Parent Company, which was signed during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had current assets of $115 thousand consisting of $57 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $9 thousand in trade receivables, $21 thousand in other accounts receivables and $28 thousand in prepaid expenses.
As of March 31, 2022, we had $2,564 thousand in current liabilities consisting of $16 in trade payables, $239 in other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $69 in short term loans and a loan to the Parent Company in the amount of $2,240.
As of December 31, 2021, we had current assets of $156 thousand consisting of $74 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $8 thousand in trade receivables, $30 thousand in other accounts receivables and $44 thousand in prepaid expenses. As of December 31, 2021, we had $2,436 thousand in current liabilities consisting of $9 in trade payables, $242 in other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $69 in short term loans, and a loan to the Parent Company in the amount of $2,116.
We had a negative working capital of $2,449 thousand and $2,280 thousand as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
There are no limitations in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation on the Company’s ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of shares of its common stock to affect a business combination. The Company’s limited resources and lack of having cash-generating business operations may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. The Company’s limitations to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted capital stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination.
Until such time as the Company can generate substantial revenues, the Company expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, debt financing and strategic alliances and collaborations. The Company does not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of its stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business. If the Company raises funds through additional collaborations or strategic alliances with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams and/or distribution arrangements. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financings when needed or on attractive terms, the Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate the operations of some or all of its business segments.

Going Concern
The Company has incurred $169 in net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $80 in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company has $2,449 stockholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2022 and $2,158 in total stockholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2021. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating losses and to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources and through additional raises of capital.
Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, which is currently the same individual, conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the Evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of March 31, 2022, and pursuant to the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) because of certain material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
