GENERAL | NOTE 1: GENERAL A. Organizational Background Viewbix Inc. (formerly known as Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 16, 1985, under a predecessor name, The InFerGene Company (“InFerGene Company”). On August 25, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of InFerGene Company merged with Zaxis International, Inc., an Ohio corporation, which following such merger, the surviving entity, InFerGene Company, changed its name to Zaxis International, Inc (“Zaxis”). In 2015 the Company changed its name to Emerald Medical Applications Corp., subsequent to which the Company, through its 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 “Closing Date”) the Reorganization Transaction was consummated and as a result, all outstanding ordinary shares of Gix Media, having no par value (the “Gix Media Shares”) were delivered to the Company in exchange for the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). As a result of the Reorganization Transaction, the former holders of Gix Media Shares, who previously held approximately 68% of the Company’s Common Stock, hold approximately 97% of the Company’s Common Stock, and Gix Media became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In connection with the Closing of the Reorganization Transaction, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended COI”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, effective as of August 31, 2022, pursuant to which, concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amended COI, the Company, among other things, effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-28. As the Company and Gix Media Ltd. were consolidated both by the Parent Company and Medigus Ltd. (the “Ultimate Parent”), before and after the Reorganization Transaction, the Reorganization Transaction was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information of the Company and Gix Media Ltd. is presented in these financial statements, for all periods presented, reflecting the historical cost of the Company and Gix Media Ltd., as it is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company, for all periods preceding March 1, 2022, the date the Ultimate Parent obtained a controlling interest in the Parent Company and as it is reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Ultimate Parent for all periods subsequent to March 1, 2022. C. Business Overview The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), Gix Media and Cortex Media Group Ltd. (“Cortex”), operate in the field of digital advertising. The Group has two main activities that are reported as separate operating segments: the search segment and the digital content segment. The search segment develops a variety of technological software solutions, which perform automation, optimization, and monetization of internet campaigns, for the purposes of obtaining and routing internet user traffic to its customers. The search segment activity is conducted by Gix Media. The digital content segment is engaged in the creation and editing of content, in different languages, for different target audiences, for the purposes of generating revenues from leading advertising platforms, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Apple, by utilizing such content to obtain and route internet user traffic for its customers. The digital content segment activity is conducted by Cortex. On January 23, 2023, Gix Media acquired an additional 10% of the share capital of Cortex, increasing its holdings to 80% in consideration for $2,625 (the “Subsequent Purchase”). The Subsequent Purchase was financed by Gix Media’s existing cash balances and by a long-term bank loan received on January 17, 2023, in the amount of $1,500 (see also note 6.B). The Subsequent Purchase was recorded as a transaction with non-controlling interests in the Company’s statement of changes in shareholders equity for the six months ended June 30, 2023. VIEWBIX INC.

Impact of the “Iron Swords” War on Israel On October 7, 2023, following the brutal attacks on Israel by Hamas, a terrorist organization located in the Gaza Strip that infiltrated Israel’s southern border and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets, Israel’s security cabinet declared war (the “War”). Following the commencement of the War, hostilities also intensified between Israel and Hezbollah, a terrorist organization located in Lebanon. This may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. The War led to a reduction of business activities in Israel, evacuation of residences located in the northern and southern borders of Israel, a significant call up of military reserves and lower availability of work force. As the Group’s customers are mainly in the US and Europe, its operations, revenues, and profitability were indirectly affected due to recruitment of senior employees to military reserves for an extended period of time. In January 2024, the 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 other income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six months period ended June 30, 2024. As of the date of these financial statements the war is still on going. Therefore, there is no assurance that future developments of the War will not have any impact for reasons beyond the Company’s control, such as expansion of the War to additional regions and the recruitment of more senior employees. The Company has business continuity procedures in place, and will continue to follow developments, assessing potential impact, if any, on the Company’s business, financials, and operations. E. 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 following certain recent developments relating to publishers that are categorized by a number of on-line advertisers as MFA, including decisions made by leading media on-line advertisers to prioritize different media categories and implement publishing restrictions in connection with MFA. Due to the Cortex Adverse Effect and additional circumstances as explained in note 5.B, the Company recorded an impairment of $4,739 in the goodwill related to the digital content segment. VIEWBIX INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data) NOTE 1: GENERAL (Cont.) F. Going Concern During the second half of 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an operating loss of $6,490 compared to an operating profit of $174 in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company recorded a net loss of $9,374 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $428 in the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $609, bank loans of $5,789 and accumulated deficit of $18,837. 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, 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, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the company entered into a facility agreement (see Note 6.E) and subsequent to the balance sheet date raised through a private placement and through two additional facility agreements with certain investors and lenders (see note 12) aggregate gross proceeds of $887. Additionally, the Company plans to uplist its shares of common stock to a national securities exchange (the “Uplist”), after which, in accordance with the terms of the aforesaid private placement and facility agreements, the company is expected to receive additional funds. Furthermore, the company’s subsidiaries entered into an addendum to the loan agreement with Bank Leumi pursuant to which loans repayments were deferred while short term credit lines with Bank Leumi continued to be utilized. However, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company will further succeed to implement its plans or be able to secure additional funds when needed. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. VIEWBIX INC.
