NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS DEFICT

Ordinary shares confer the right to participate in the general meetings, to one vote per share for any purpose, to an equal part, on share basis, in distribution of dividends and to equally participate, on share basis, in distribution of excess of assets and funds from the Company and they shall not confer other privileges unless stated hereunder or in the Companies Law otherwise. Some investors have standard anti-dilutive rights, registration rights, and information and representation rights.

Preferred shares may have been converted into ordinary shares of Viewbix Ltd at any time. The preferred shares would have automatically converted into ordinary shares if (a) the holders of at least (i) 67% (sixty seven percent) of the issued and outstanding Preferred C/C-1 shares, (ii) a majority of the issued and outstanding Preferred B shares, and (iii) a majority of the issued and outstanding Preferred A shares, so agree in writing; or (b) in the event of an IPO.

The conversion price for any class or series of preferred would have been subject to adjustment, as follows: at any time, upon each issuance or deemed issuance by the Company of any new securities at a price per share less than the applicable conversion price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to the issuance of such new securities, the conversion price shall be reduced. Preferred shares had priority in the distribution of dividends and upon liquidation in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association (“AOA”). These rights may be changed if a meeting of the Company’s stockholders gather up and decides on a change of regulations in this context.

The preference mechanism for liquidation and the distribution of dividends gave priority to the most recent preferred stockholders.

The preferred shares were convertible into 16,199,520 ordinary shares of the Company.

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS DEFICT (Cont.)

The Company’s AOA do not provide redemption rights to the holders of the preferred shares. In the event of a liquidation event, all the funds and assets of the Company available for distribution among all the stockholders shall be distributed based on a certain mechanism as described in the Company’s AOA. Although the preferred shares are not redeemable, in the event of certain “deemed liquidation events” that are not solely within the Company’s control (including merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), the holders of the preferred shares would be entitled to preference amounts paid before distribution to other stockholders (as explained in the previous paragraph) and hence effectively redeeming the preference amount. In accordance with ASR 268 and ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company’s preferred shares are classified outside of stockholders’ deficit as a result of these in-substance contingent redemption rights.

As of December 31, 2019 the preferred shares were no longer outstanding.

As detailed in Note 1, as part of the Recapitalization Transaction in July 2019, the Company issued 20,281,085 shares of common stock to Gix in exchange for its 99.83% holdings in Viewbix Israel. The number of shares prior to the reverse capitalization have been retroactively adjusted based on the equivalent number of shares received by the accounting acquirer in the Recapitalization Transaction. As Part of the transaction all preferred shares were converted into ordinary shares.

The following table summarizes information of outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2020:

Additionally In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the earlier of: (a) the launch of a live video product to an American consumer in the United States by Viewbix Israel, or (b) the launch of an interactive television product to an American consumer in the United States by Viewbix Israel, the Company will issue to Gix an additional 1,642,193 shares of restricted common stock of the Company.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During August 2019, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and its parent Company, Gix. The plaintiffs claim that they were entitled to receive shares of the Company as a part of the consideration in Gix’s acquisition of the Company. In management’s opinion, the plaintiffs’ claims are based on incorrect assumptions that relate to the distribution of shares between the plaintiffs and other former shareholders of the Company prior to Gix’s acquisition which would have resulted in the receipt of shares in the acquisition transaction. During September 2020, a settlement was reached between the parties which was later approved by the court. The settlement outlines that in exchange for the voluntary waiver of claims made by the plaintiffs, Gix will issue 63,350 shares of its common stock held in trust in favor of securing the transaction by which Gix acquired shares of ViewBix Ltd. in November 2018. The remaining shares in the trust account will be used to indemnify Gix for any expenses related to the litigation. Since the consideration paid was in Gix’s shares, and as the claims relate to the distribution of shares between the plaintiffs and other former shareholders of the Company, the settlement did not impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2017, a lawsuit was filed by a former CEO of the Company with the Tel Aviv District Court (the “Tel Aviv Court”) against the Company claiming certain damages in the total amount of $100, under the assertion of wrongful termination by the Company and Emerald Israel. The Company believes these claims to be unsubstantiated and wholly without merit and accordingly filed its response with the Tel Aviv Court in October of 2017. The dispute was initially heard by the Tel Aviv Court on February 13, 2020 and a supplemental hearing has been set.

As of September 30, 2020, the company’s management, in consultation with its legal advisors, believes that the CEO's claims will not be successful therefore the financial statements do not include a provision for the above mentioned.

NOTE 9 - TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $6,961 in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforward and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that because the Company has a history of losses, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carryforward and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, 2020, Viewbix Israel incurred operating losses in Israel of approximately $13,368 which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.

As of September 30, 2020 the Company generated net operating losses in the U.S. of approximately $18,396 Net operating losses in the U.S. are available through 2035. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

NOTE 11 - TRANSACTION AND BALANCES WITH PARENT COMPANY

Balances:

As part of the agreement with Gix, the parties agreed to have the Company’s operations outsourced to Gix from the agreement date and until the acquisition is consummated. The following term were included in the agreement pursuant to the above:

No amounts were paid by the Company to Gix during 2020 and 2019 in respect of the above, which resulted in a parent company payable of $1,611 as of December 31, 2019 and $1,902 as of September 30, 2020.

NOTE 12 - COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPLICATIONS

The COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China in late 2019, has since spread across the globe and affected the economic condition of most, if not all, countries, including the United States, Israel and many countries in Europe. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. While COVID-19 is still spreading and the final implications of the pandemic are difficult to estimate at this stage, it is clear that it has affected the lives of a large portion of the global population. As of September 30, 2020, the pandemic has caused repeated states of emergency to be declared in various countries, ongoing and extended travel restrictions have been imposed for several months, strict quarantines rules have been established and maintained for an extended period of time in a plethora of jurisdictions and various institutions and companies have been closed and rendered bankrupt. 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. It is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the Company’s business, 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. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have also negatively impacted global economic conditions, which, in turn, could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the Company’s financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new government actions or restrictions, new information that may emerge concerning the severity, longevity and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

Our revenues were $17 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $63 thousand during the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 reflects current assets of $89 thousand, consisting of $65 thousand cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and trade receivables of $24 thousand. We also have $2,093 thousand in current liabilities, consisting of $191 thousand in trade payables and other accounts payable owed to Gix in the amount of $1,902 thousand. As of December 31, 2019, we had current assets of $225 thousand mainly consisting of $87 thousand in cash, other receivables and prepaid expenses of $136 thousand and restricted cash of $2. As of December 31, 2019, we had $1,923 thousand in current liabilities consisting of $312 thousand in trade payables and other accounts payables and $1,611 thousand payable to Gix.

We had negative working capital of $2,004 thousand as of September 30, 2020, as compared to negative working capital of $1,698 thousand on December 31, 2019. Our total liabilities as of September 30, 2020 were $2,093 thousand, as compared to $1,923 thousand on December 31, 2019.

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 $311 in net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, has $2,004 stockholders’ deficit as of September 30, 2020 and $1,693 in total stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2019. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating losses and to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources and through additional raises of capital.

Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, except as set forth below. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, our common stock, our officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect, other than as set forth below.

On August 7, 2019, Viewbix Ltd. was named as a co-defendant in a civil lawsuit filed with the Jerusalem District Court (the “Jerusalem Court”) by three shareholders of Viewbix Ltd. (in this section, the “Shareholders”), alleging that they were entitled to receive certain preferred shares in Viewbix Ltd., pursuant to a certain 2007 loan agreement by and between Viewbix Ltd. and the petitioning Shareholders, following the sale of Viewbix Ltd. shares to Gix (the “Conversion”). The Shareholders sought declaratory recourse from the Jerusalem Court, pursuant to which the Shareholders demanded, inter alia , shares in Gix on a post-Conversion basis or in an alternative form of compensation. On February 27, 2020, the parties presented their respective arguments before the Jerusalem Court, and the Jerusalem Court determined that the Company is entitled to file a motion for dismissal of the claims by the Shareholders by March 31, 2020, which was subsequently postponed to August 9, 2020. On September 24, 2020, the parties submitted before the Jerusalem Court a settlement proposal, which was thereafter approved by the Jerusalem Court on the same date (the “Settlement”). The Settlement provided, inter alia , that in exchange for the voluntary waiver of claims held by the Shareholders, Gix instructed the trustee holding the instant shares of Gix, which were issued by Gix as part of the transaction where Gix acquired share capital of Viewbix in November 2018, to issue 63,350 Gix shares of Common Stock to the Shareholders, whereby the remaining shares in the trust account will be used to indemnify Gix for any expenses related to the instant litigation. Since the compensation was provided with Gix shares, the settlement has no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2017, a lawsuit was filed with the Tel Aviv District Court (the “Tel Aviv Court”) against Emerald Israel, and other defendants, claiming certain damages in the total amount of approximately $100,000, under the assertion of wrongful termination by Emerald Israel. We believe these claims to be unsubstantiated and wholly without merit and accordingly filed our response with the Tel Aviv Court in October of 2017. The dispute was initially heard by the Tel Aviv Court on February 13, 2020 and a supplemental hearing was set for March 19, 2020, which was subsequently postponed twice, initially to September 29, 2020 and subsequently to February 12, 2021.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the information set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic, or any other pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, may materially and adversely affect our business and operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China in late 2019, has since spread across the globe and affected the economic condition of most, if not all, countries, including the United States, Israel and many countries in Europe. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. While COVID-19 is still spreading and the final implications of the pandemic are difficult to estimate at this stage, it is clear that it has affected the lives of a large portion of the global population. As of September 30, 2020, the pandemic has caused repeated states of emergency to be declared in various countries, ongoing and extended travel restrictions have been imposed for several months, strict quarantines rules have been established and maintained for an extended period of time in a plethora of jurisdictions and various institutions and companies have been closed and rendered bankrupt. We are actively monitoring the pandemic and we are taking any necessary measures to respond to the situation in cooperation with the various stakeholders.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to assess the situation, including government-imposed restrictions, market by market. It is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19, and any additional measures taken by governments, health officials or by us in response to such spread, could have on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have also negatively impacted global economic conditions, which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact our financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new government actions or restrictions, new information that may emerge concerning the severity, longevity and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity.
