Overview
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes
is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and
financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of
forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future
events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often
identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project
and similar expressions, or words which refer to future events. These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

On June 6, 2020, Algomizer Ltd. changed its name to Gix Internet Ltd.
On January 1, 2020, the Company announced certain cost reduction measures due
the Company not achieving certain revenues goals. In connection with these cost
reduction measures, on January 1, 2020, Mr. Jonathan Stefansky, the Company's
then chief executive officer and member of the Company's board of directors,
tendered his resignation from the Board, and on the same date the sides reached
a mutual understanding whereby Mr. Stefansky would step down as chief executive
officer, effective March 1, 2020. On the same date, the Company and Mr. Hillel
Scheinfeld, the Company's then chief operating officer, reached a similar mutual
understanding and agreed he would step down, also effective March 1, 2020. Mr.
Amihay Hadad, the Company's chief financial officer, was appointed to the
Company's board of directors on January 1, 2020, and, effective as of March 1,
2020, he was also appointed as the Company's chief executive officer as well.
On January 27, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to
sell Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd. for NIS 50,000 ($14, 459), which
transaction was consummated on February 12, 2020.
Results of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2020
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $41 thousand as compared to
$96 thousand for the year end December 31, 2020. The reason for the decrease
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 is due to the Company's
cost-reduction measures implemented beginning on January 1, 2021.
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0 which is a slight
decrease to $5 thousand for the year end December 31, 2020.
Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $64
thousand as compared to $108 thousand for the year end December 31, 2020. The
reason for the decrease during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 is due to
the Company's cost-reduction measures implemented beginning on January 1, 2020,
though despite these measures, the Company hired the services of an R&D team
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2
thousand as compared to $8 thousand for the year end December 31, 2020. The
reason for the decrease during the year ended December 31, 2021 is due to the
Company's cost-reduction measures implemented beginning on January 1, 2020.
21
General and Administration expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 was
$304 thousand as compared to $437 thousand for the year end December 31, 2020.
The reason for the decrease in 2021 is due to certain cost reduction measures
initiated by the Company as of the beginning of January 2020.
Our net financial expense was $30 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021,
compared to net financial income of $13 thousand for the year end December 31,
2020. The reason for the increase in financial expenses in 2021 is due to the
loan agreement with Pure Capital and other lenders entered into on December 18,
2020, which interest expenses were recognized in the year ended December 31,
2021.
Our taxes on income was $2 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for
the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 Short term loan, and $2,116 payable to our Parent Company.
As of December 31, 2020, we had current assets of $225 thousand consisting of
$148 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, $15 thousand in
trade receivables, $20 thousand in other receivables and $42 thousand in prepaid
expenses. We had $2,303 thousand in current liabilities, which consisted of $177
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $22 trade payable, $50 Short
term loan, and $2,054 payable to our Parent Company.
We had a negative working capital of $2,280 thousand and $2,078 thousand as of
December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Our total liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were $2,436 thousand compared to
$2,303 thousand as of December 31, 2020.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we had negative cash flow from
operations of $74 thousand which was mainly the result of a net loss of $386
thousand, offset by decrease in working capital of $312 thousand.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we had negative cash flow from
operations of $53 thousand which was mainly the result of a net loss of $443
thousand, depreciation expense of $5 thousand, offset by gains from the sale of
a subsidiary and decrease in working capital of $385 thousand.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we had no cash flow from
investing activities as compared to a positive cash flow effect from investing
activities of $13 thousand as during the year ended December 31, 2020.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we had no cash flow from
financing activities as compared to a positive cash flow from financing
activities of $99 thousand during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which
related to the Loan Agreement and issuance of shares we have made during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In January 2022, the repayment date under
the Loan Agreement was extended per the Investors' request. The Investors also
expressed their intention to convert the remaining sum of the Principal Amount
to shares of our Common Stock, however, if we are required to repay the
Principal Amount in cash, we will be able to receive cash flow for the repayment
from our Parent Company. The Gix Loan along with any accrued interest is due on
December 31, 2022, unless extended upon mutual consent of the Company and Gix
Internet.
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.
22
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, collaborations, and funds from its Parent Company. 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 shareholders will be
diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other
preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. 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 $386 thousand in net losses for the year ended December
31, 2021, has $2,280 thousand shareholders' deficit as of December 31, 2021 and
$2,078 thousand in total shareholders' deficit as of December 31, 2020 and $74
thousand negative cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31,
2021, and $53 thousand negative cash flows from operations for the year ended
December 31, 2020. 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.
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.
The Company has only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for the
Company to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have issued an
unqualified audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2021 with an
explanatory paragraph on going concern.
23
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain
additional equity financing will provide the opportunity to continue as a going
concern.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, we did not have any contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of our consolidated
financial statements and disclosures requires us to make judgments, estimates,
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting
periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events
and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
and conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to
our audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
