As of December 31, 2022, the Company
held 27.02% of the outstanding common stock of Odysight.ai.
On March 21, 2023, Odysight.ai completed
a private placement to existing stockholders, of 3,294,117 units, at a purchase price of USD 4.25 per unit, with each unit consisting
of one share of Odysight.ai’s common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Odysight.ai’s common stock at an exercise
price of USD 5.50 per share. The Company did not participate in the private placement. Following the private placement, the Company’s
holdings in Odysight.ai were diluted to 18.45% and the remaining holding was accounted for as investment at fair value through profit
or loss (FVTPL). As a result of the transition, the Company recognized a loss of USD 2,946 thousand.
On May 17, 2023, the Company signed
a stock transfer agreement to sell its entire holdings in Odysight.ai for total proceeds of approximately USD 5.7 million.
General
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31,
2023, the Company held 46.21% of Eventer’s issued and outstanding common stock.
On August 27, 2024, Julian Azoulay,
Eventer’s CEO exercised options to acquire ordinary shares, and as a result the Company’s holdings in Eventer decreased to
44.52%.
On December 6, 2023, the Company
signed a share purchase agreement with Keshet Holdings LP (“Keshet”) to purchase its entire stake in Eventer for
consideration of USD 250 thousand which will be paid in the Company’s shares. The closing of the transaction is expected to
occur in the near future, and as a result, the Company’s holdings in Eventer are expected to increase to
58.44%.
Exchange agreement
On October 14, 2020, the Company entered
into an exchange agreement with Eventer’s shareholders, pursuant to which, during the period commencing on the second anniversary
of the exchange agreement and ending fifty-four (54) months following the date of the exchange agreement, Eventer’s shareholders
may elect to exchange all of their Eventer shares for ordinary shares of the Company. The Company treated the exchange agreement at the
date of the business combination from accounting perspective as recognition of noncontrolling interests, in addition to the recognition
of a liability in respect of a derivative (exchange options) which will be measured at fair value at each cut-off date. The changes in
the fair value at each cut-off date will be recorded as a financial income/expense.
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31,
2023, the Company concluded that the fair value of this derivative is immaterial.
For more information, see contingent
liabilities section below.
Loan agreements between Eventer
and the Company
On October 30, 2022, the Company and
Eventer signed an amendment pursuant to which the maturity date of the loans between Eventer and the Company was extended to May 30, 2024.
In the event Eventer issues securities in consideration of at least USD 2 million or in the event of an IPO or rights offering (the “Investment”),
then the outstanding loans will automatically be converted into shares. The number of shares will be calculated by dividing the outstanding
balance as of the closing date of the Investment by a price per share which shall reflect a 20% discount off the lowest price per share
paid in the Investment.
As of the issuance date of these financial
statements, the Company and Eventer are renegotiating the terms of the loan agreement.
Contingent liabilities
| a. | On December 14, 2022, a motion to certify a class action
suit was filed against Eventer and two of its directors, alleging the violation of the provisions of the Prohibition of Discrimination
in Products, Services, and Entry into Places of Entertainment and Public Places Law. The plaintiff claims that Eventer enables the allocation
of different kinds of tickets to different groups (such as women, children etc.), thereby allowing structured discrimination. According
to the opinion of Eventer’s legal counsel, the chances of the class action to be rejected are more likely than not both against
Eventer and its directors. A hearing is scheduled for November27, 2024. |
| b. | On April 1, 2024, a lawsuit seeking declaratory judgement
was filed in the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa in Israel by minority shareholders of Eventer against Eventer and the Company (together,
the “Defendants”). The minority shareholders of Eventer (the “Plaintiffs”), hold in aggregate 31.86% of the outstanding
ordinary shares of Eventer. |
The Plaintiffs allege, among others,
that the Defendants violated the agreement whereby the Company acquired control of Eventer (the “Purchase Agreement”), which
established a “separation” mechanism, pursuant to which certain Plaintiffs were granted an option to convert their shares
in Eventer into shares of the Company. The claim alleges that the Company has violated the terms of the Purchase Agreement by refusing
to negotiate Eventer’s valuation to enable certain of the Plaintiffs to exercise their option to convert their shares of Eventer
into shares of the Company. The Plaintiffs seek an aggregate of NIS 1,229 thousand from Eventer due to claims of breach of agreements
(approximately USD 335 thousand) and seek an aggregate of NIS 8,602 thousand from the Company as consideration for the Plaintiffs’ shares
in Eventer or as an alternative remedy, to convert Eventer’s shares into the Company shares for an aggregate value of NIS 8,602
thousand (approximately USD 2,348 thousand) following which all the Plaintiffs shares in Eventer would be transferred to the Company.
The Company submitted its response to the District Court of Tel Aviv
– Jaffa and it intends to defend its position vigorously. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company
is unable to estimate a loss or range of loss of this claim. Agreement with Screenz Cross
Media Ltd.
Following the last amendment of the
agreement with Screenz Cross Media Ltd., a company indirectly controlled and managed by Eli Uzan who served as Eventer’s Director
(hereafter “Screenz”), in December 2022, it was determined that Screenz will have the first right to receive any money received
from Eventer and resulting from a digital ticketing platform for interactive virtual events up to a total amount of USD 480 thousand.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company concluded that the fair value of this commitment is immaterial given the uncertainty of generating revenues
by Eventer from interactive virtual events.
Share based compensation grants
| 1. | On March 30, 2021, Eventer granted its CEO 29,944 options to purchase 29,944
shares at an exercise price of 0.001 NIS per share. The options vested on April 1, 2024, and on August 24, 2024 the options were converted
into common stock. |
The fair value of this grant was approximately
NIS 1,668 thousand (USD 473 thousand). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, NIS 0 thousand (USD 0 thousand) and NIS 91 thousand
(approximately USD 25 thousand), respectively, were recognized and recorded as expenses.
| 2. | On March 30, 2021, Eventer granted Round Robin Ltd., which is one of the founding partners of Eventer, 29,944 options to purchase 29,944 shares at exercise price of 1.0 NIS per share. The options vested and can be converted to Eventer’s ordinary shares until August 31, 2025. |
The fair value of this grant was approximately
NIS 1,668 thousand (USD 473 thousand). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, NIS 0 thousand (USD 0 thousand) and NIS 91 thousand
(approximately USD 25 thousand), respectively, were recognized and recorded as expenses.

and Viewbix Ltd.
On November 15, 2023, the Company (along
with several lenders) signed a loan agreement with Viewbix Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Viewbix Inc., in an aggregate amount of
USD 480 thousand. The Company’s portion in this loan was USD 200 thousand (the “2023 Loan”).
In connection with the 2023 Loan, Viewbix
Inc. issued to each lender a warrant to purchase shares of common stock (the “2023 Warrants”). The 2023 Warrants are exercisable
to 480,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of USD 0.50 per share and will expire and cease to be exercisable
on December 31, 2025.
The terms of the 2023 Loan were substantially
amended on June 18, 2024, by the June 2024 Facility Agreement (see below). These amendments represent a substantial modification in accordance
with IFRS 9. Accordingly, the terms modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the initial
recognition of new financial instruments issued at their fair value as of the effective date of the June 2024 Facility Agreement.
As a result of the substantial modification
of terms, the Group recognized a finance expense of USD 300 thousand and USD 1,833 thousand was recognized as a loss in connection with
issuance of warrants in its interim condensed consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income for the six months period
ended June 30, 2024
June 2024 Facility Agreement
On June 18, 2024, Viewbix Inc. entered into a credit facility agreement
which was amended and restated on July 22, 2024 (the “June 2024 Facility Agreement”) for a USD 1 million credit facility
(the “June 2024 Facility Loan Amount”) with a group of lenders including L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd (the “June 2024 Lead
Lender”, and collectively, the “June 2024 Lenders”). In addition to the June 2024 Facility Loan Amount, the June 2024
Facility Agreement includes modification to the terms of the outstanding debt in the amount of USD 531 thousand owed by Viewbix Inc.
to the June 2024 Lenders (the “June 2024 Prior Loan Amount”, and together with the June 2024 Facility Loan Amount, the “June
2024 Loan Amount”).
The term (the “June 2024 Facility
Term”) of the June 2024 Facility Agreement expires 12 months following the date of the June 2024 Facility Agreement (the
“Initial Maturity Date”), provided that, if the effectiveness of an uplisting of the Viewbix Inc. shares of common stock to
a national securities exchange (the “Uplist”) occurs prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the June 2024 Facility Term will
expire 12 months following the effective date of the Uplist. The June 2024 Facility Agreement sets forth a drawdown schedule
as follows: (i) an aggregate amount of USD 350 thousand was drawn down on the date of the Prior June 2024 Facility Agreement, (ii)
an aggregate amount of USD 150 thousand drawn down upon the filing of the Company’s PIPE Registration Statement (as defined below)
and (iii) an amount of USD 500 thousand drawn down upon the effectiveness of the Uplist. The June 2024 Facility Loan Amount
accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and Viewbix Inc. will also pay such interest on the June 2024 Prior Loan Amount, which
is equal to USD 184 thousand (the “June 2024 Facility Interest”). The June 2024 Facility Interest was paid in advance
for the first year of the June 2024 Facility in (i) shares of Viewbix Inc.’s common stock at a conversion rate of USD 0.25 for
each U.S. dollar of June 2024 Facility Interest accrued on the respective June 2024 Loan Amount, equal to an aggregate of 734,716 shares
of common stock (the “June 2024 Facility Shares”) and (b) a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to
the June 2024 Facility Shares (the “June 2024 Facility Warrant”).
Immediately following the effectiveness
of the Uplist, (i) USD 663 thousand of the June 2024 Loan Amount will convert into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal
to USD 0.25 per share of Viewbix Inc.’s common stock (the “June 2024 Convertible Stock”) and (ii) Viewbix Inc.
will issue a warrant in substantially the same form and on substantially the same terms as a June 2024 Facility Warrant to purchase a
number of shares of Viewbix Inc.’s common stock equal to the June 2024 Convertible Stock with an exercise price of USD 0.25 per
share (the “June 2024 Conversion Warrant”, and (i) and (ii), collectively a “June 2024 Conversion Unit”). Such
portion of the June 2024 Loan Amount that is not converted into a June 2024 Conversion Unit will remain outstanding and will not convert
following the Uplist. For the duration of the June 2024 Facility Term of the June 2024 Facility Agreement, the June 2024 Lenders may elect
to convert after the effectiveness of the Uplist such unconverted portion of the June 2024 Loan Amount into additional June 2024 Conversion
Units or, upon the expiration of the June 2024 Facility Term, such unconverted portion of the June 2024 Loan Amount will be repaid in
accordance with the terms of the June 2024 Facility Agreement.
The June 2024 Facility Warrants are
exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of USD 0.25 per share of common stock and will have a three-year term from
the issuance date.
In addition and in connection with
the June 2024 Facility Agreement, Viewbix Inc. agreed to pay the June 2024 Lead Lender a commission consisting of (i) 200,000 shares
of common stock, (ii) a warrant in substantially the same form and on substantially the same terms as the June 2024 Facility Warrant to
purchase 200,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of USD 0.25 per share (the “June 2024 Lead Lender
Warrant”) and (iii) a warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of USD 1.00 per
share, representing an aggregate exercise amount of USD 2.5 million, subject to beneficial ownership limitations and adjustments
(the “June 2024 Lead Lender Fee Warrant” and together with the June 2024 Lead Lender Warrant and the June 2024 Facility Warrants,
the “June 2024 Warrants”).
The conversion and conversion related
features of the June 2024 facility loan were bifurcated from their host debt contract and recognized as liabilities measured at fair value
at each cut-off date. The facility loan was initially recorded at its fair value and subsequently measured at cost. The June 2024 Facility
Warrant issued as prepayment of interest and the June 2024 Lead Lender Warrant were initially recognized at fair value and classified
as a liability measured at fair value at each cut-off date (see note 4).
Following the June 2024 Facility Agreement,
Gix Internet’s holdings in Viewbix Inc. decreased from 76% to 71.11%. The transaction was recorded as a transaction with non-controlling
interests in the Group’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity for the period ended June 30, 2024. Private Placement
On July 3, 2024, Viewbix Inc. entered
into a definitive securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain investor (the “Lead Investor”)
for the purchase and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of units consisting of (i) 1,027,500 shares
of Viewbix Inc.’s common stock at a purchase price of USD 0.25 per share (the “PIPE Shares”) and (ii) common stock
purchase warrants to purchase up to 1,541,250 shares of Viewbix Inc.’s common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”)
to the Lead Investor and other investors (collectively, the “Investors”) acceptable to the Lead Investor and Viewbix Inc.
The aggregate gross proceeds received by Viewbix from the Private Placement were $257, of which $237 were received in June 2024 and the
$20 remaining were received in July 2024. The effective date of the Purchase Agreement is June 30, 2024.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable upon
issuance at an exercise price of USD 0.25 per share and will have a three-year term from the issuance date. In addition,
the PIPE Warrants are subject to an automatic exercise provision in the event that Viewbix Inc.’s shares of common stock are approved
for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Upon the closing of the Private Placement,
Viewbix Inc. agreed to pay the Lead Investor: (1) USD 10 thousand for actual and documented fees and expenses incurred and, (2) a
commission consisting of (i) a cash fee of USD 123 thousand and (ii) 51,375 shares of Viewbix Inc.’s common stock.
In July 2024, Viewbix Inc. issued to
the Investors 1,027,500 shares of common stock and 1,541,250 warrants in connection with the Private Placement.
Following the Private Placement, Gix
Internet’s holdings in Viewbix Inc. decreased from 71.11% to 66.89%. The transaction was recorded as a transaction with non-controlling
interests in the Group’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity for the period ended June 30, 2024.
Stock Incentive Plan
On March 2, 2023, the Board of Directors
of Viewbix Inc. approved the adoption of the 2023 stock incentive plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan permits the issuance
of up to (i) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) an annual increase equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of Viewbix Inc.’s outstanding
capital stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year; and (B) such smaller amount as determined by the Board of Directors,
provided that no more than 2,500,000 shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options. If any outstanding
awards expire, are canceled or are forfeited, the underlying shares would be available for future grants under the 2023 Plan. As of the
date of approval of the financial statements, Viewbix Inc. had reserved 2,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2023 Plan.
As of June 30, 2024, 51,020 stock-based
awards were granted by Viewbix Inc. under the 2023 Plan and an expense of USD 12 thousand was recognized in the Group’s consolidated
statements of income/loss and other comprehensive income/loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The purpose of Zig Miami 54 is to acquire, improve, renovate, develop, manage, sell and otherwise deal with a commercial property located
in Miami, Florida. The rights of Zig Miami 54 are exercised by Zig Investment Group, and the business and affairs of Zig Miami 54 are

Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company invested an amount of USD 2,000 thousand (the “Initial Capital Contribution”) in consideration of 60% of the
issued and outstanding share capital of Zig Miami 54. The remaining 40% were allocated, without consideration, to Zig Investment Group.
In addition, Zig Miami 54 is entitled
to receive a loan from the seller of the property (“Seller Loan”) in the amount of up to USD 1,500 thousand which is secured
by a first lien on the property.
Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, commencing upon completion
of phase I of the renovation work, the Manager shall distribute net cash from operations, with respect to each calendar quarter, during
the next succeeding calendar quarter, or more frequently as determined by the Manager. All distributions of net cash from operations and
net cash from capital transactions, including refinancing the existing Seller Loan, shall be made in the following order: (i) one hundred
percent (100%) to repay all debts, regular operating expenses and obligations of Zig Miami 54, including the current periodic installments
of principal and interest due on the Seller Loan; (ii) one hundred percent (100%) to the Company until the Company has received a return
of one hundred percent (100%) of its Initial Capital Contribution; (iii) one hundred percent (100%) to Zig Investment Group to repay all
cost overruns incurred by Zig Investment Group, if any, up to the maximum amount of USD 180 thousand; and (iv) pro rata to the Company

Zig Miami 54, equaling a thirty percent (30%) percentage interest in Zig Miami 54 and to, thereafter, issue to Zig Investment Group, additional
interests in Zig Miami 54 equaling a thirty percent (30%) interest in Zig Miami 54. Following such redemption and issuance, Zig Investment
Group will hold a seventy percent (70%) interest in Zig Miami 54 and the Company will hold a thirty percent (30%) interest in Zig Miami
54.
The closing of the agreement was on
December 15, 2023 (the “Closing”). Following the Closing, Zig Miami 54 acquired the commercial property for an aggregate amount
of USD 2,250 thousand and received a Seller Loan in the amount of USD 1,350 thousand.

a loan and an investment. The Initial Capital Contribution was first allocated to the loan based on its fair value at the date of the
Closing in an amount of USD 1,545 thousand (the “Loan”) with the residual of the Initial Capital Contribution in an amount
of USD 455 thousand allocated to the investment (“Investment Purchase Price”).

value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

purchase agreement, the Company loaned Metagramm USD 250 thousand in order to fund a pilot. The loan bears an interest rate of 6% per
annum. The loan will be repaid upon the completion of the pilot, in eight quarterly installments starting from the first day of the third
year after the grant date. The loan was accounted for as financial assets measured at amortized cost.
In the event that the pilot approval
is not successfully completed within 15 months after the Closing, Metagramm will repay the loan and any interest on a monthly basis. In
such case, the Company will have the option to receive additional shares of Metagramm, at no cost, in such number that immediately after,
the Company’s holdings in Metagramm will increase to 31.25%. The option is measured at fair value through profit or loss. As of
June 30, 2024, the fair value of the option was estimated to be inconsequential.
In addition, in the event of any fundraising
transaction, the Company will have the option to be reimbursed the full loan amount with accrued interest immediately following the fundraising
