PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

ORGANIZATION

Ozop Surgical Corp. (the” Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada, for the purpose of the renting different kind of Segways and bicycles, dual wheels self-balancing electric scooters and related safety equipment. Following the acquisition of OZOP Surgical, Inc. as discussed below, we have been engaged in the business of inventing, designing, developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative endoscopic instruments, surgical implants, instrumentation, devices and related technologies, focused on spine, neurological and pain management procedures and specialties.

Our corporate website is located at http://ozopsurgical.com/, and the contents of our website are expressly not incorporated herein.

Acquisition

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Spinal Resources, Inc. (“SRI”). Pursuant to the Agreement, SRI granted to the Company an exclusive license, for products, as defined in the Agreement, and utilized in spine and related surgical procedures. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company has determined to account for the Agreement as a business combination. As consideration for the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay license fees equal to $1,500,000, over the eighteen- month term of the Agreement. The Company recorded the liability at its present value of $1,234,089. Additionally, the Company has agreed to issue 6,000 shares of restricted common stock on a quarterly basis, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, of which 1,000 shares were issued on August 23, 2019. The Company valued the shares issued at $49,000 (based on the market price of the common stock) and included the $49,000 as part of the consideration of the transaction. The remaining 5,000 shares to be issued has been recorded as a $245,000 liability to be paid in common stock and was included in the total consideration issued in the transaction. The Company also issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to SRI for $768,844 (subject to adjustments) for the purchase of the inventory of the Products (as defined in the Agreement). The Note has a stated interest rate of six percent (6%) and payment terms of the Note are in eighteen equal installments, beginning on October 1, 2019. Either party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice if the other party has failed to remedy a material breach within 30 days (or 15 days in the case of a breach of a payment obligation). SRI also granted the Company an option to purchase the Company on or before the termination date of the license for a minimum of $5,500,000 which can increase based on the revenue rate at the time the option is exercised. If the Company does not elect to exercise their option to purchase SRI, SRI can “put” the Acquisition to the Company. Any payments made for the license, the Note and other liabilities assumed by the Company can be net against the option to buy price. The Company calculated the net minimum purchase price to be $3,093,604 and recorded the liability at its present value of $2,834,692. The difference of $258,912 will be charged to interest expense over the option period.

The following table summarizes the preliminary value of the consideration issued and the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction:

The total purchase price of $5,856,012 has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimated fair values as of the completion of the transaction. These allocations reflect various preliminary estimates that are currently available and are subject to change upon the valuation being finalized within the measurement period. The Company will record amortization expense assuming a straight-line basis over the expected life of the finite lived intangible assets, which approximates expected future cash flows.

Goodwill represents the amount by which the estimated consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of the assets the Company acquired and the liabilities the Company assumed. The Company will not amortize the goodwill, but will instead test the goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2019. the Company recorded an impairment of $274,854, for the termination of the SRI Agreement pursuant to an email received from SRI on January 16, 2020, that the Agreement dated August 23, 2019, between SRI and the Company has been revoked, as the Company did not make the required January 6, 2020 license payment nor cure the default. The impairment charge was calculated as the difference of the carrying values of the assets acquired compared to the consideration and liabilities assumed in the transaction as follows:

Reverse Merger

On April 13, 2018, we entered into and completed a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with OZOP Surgical, Inc. (“OZOP”), the shareholders of OZOP (the “OZOP Shareholders”) and Denis Razvodovskij, the then holder of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the OZOP Shareholders transferred and exchanged 100% of the capital stock of OZOP in exchange for an aggregate of 25,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”). After giving effect to the redemption of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Redemption Agreement discussed below and the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we had 25,797,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with the OZOP Shareholders, as a group, owning 96.9% of such shares. Currently, our executive officers and directors, as a group, own 6,374,223 of our shares representing 21.81 % of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby OZOP was considered the accounting acquirer and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger” or a “reverse acquisition,” the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger were and will be replaced with the historical financial statements of OZOP prior to the reverse merger, in all future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In connection with the acquisition of OZOP, we purchased and redeemed 2,000,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Razvodovskij for a total purchase price of $350,000 pursuant to a Share Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, effective April 13, 2018, Mr. Razvodovskij resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and sole director, and Michael Chermak, Salman J. Chaudhry (who resigned March 4, 2019) and Eric Siu (who resigned March 5, 2019) were named as directors of the Company.

Corporate Matters

On March 28, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to designate 1,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock, nor does the Series B Preferred Stock have any right to dividends and any liquidation preference. The Series B Preferred Stock entitles its holder to a number of votes per share equal to 50 votes. On April 1, 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO (resigned February 28, 2020) and Director. The shares were valued at $68,000 of which $25,000 was applied to accrued liabilities-related and $43,000 was recorded as stock-based compensation expense-related parties.

On September 18, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to designate 50,000 shares as Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance, into one share of fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to ten thousand (10,000) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.

On September 19, 2019, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO (resigned February 28, 2020) and Director, in consideration of the cancellation and return of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. On September 20, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Withdrawal”) for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the prior designation of the Company’s Series B Stock was cancelled.

On October 29, 2019, the Company amended its’ Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of capital stock to 2,500,000,000 shares, of which 2,490,000,000 have been designated as common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Preferred Stock, par value $0.001. The Preferred Stock shall be issuable in such series, and with such designations, rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

On December 26, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split became effective on February 10, 2020. The par values and the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All common stock, stock options and per share amounts in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock split.

On December 30, 2019, the Company amended its’ Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of capital stock to 5,000,000,000 shares, of which 4,990,000,000 have been designated as common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Preferred Stock, par value $0.001. The Preferred Stock shall be issuable in such series, and with such designations, rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

OZOP

OZOP was originally incorporated in Switzerland on November 28, 1998 under the name Perma Consultants Holding AG (“Perma”). On July 19, 2016, Mr. Eric Siu (“Siu”), one of our former directors purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Perma and changed the name from Perma to Ozop Surgical AG (“Ozop AG”). On February 1, 2018, Ozop AG was re-domiciled as a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Ozop Surgical, Inc. On July 28, 2016, OZOP formed as the sole member, Ozop Surgical, LLC (“Ozop LLC”), a Wyoming limited liability company. On October 28, 2016, OZOP acquired 100% of Ozop Surgical Limited (“Ozop HK”), from Siu, the sole shareholder of Ozop HK. Ozop HK, is a private limited company incorporated in Hong Kong.

On February 16, 2018, OZOP acquired the 100% membership interest (the “Membership Interest”) in Spinus, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Spinus”), from RWO Medical Consulting LLC (“RWO”), a Texas limited liability company (the “Acquisition”). OZOP purchased the Membership Interest from RWO in exchange for; (i) 5,000,000 shares OZOP’s common stock and ii) the assumption of all liabilities of Spinus, including an obligation of $250,000 pursuant to a license agreement by and between Spinus and a third party (the “Assumed Debt”). The Assumed Debt is secured by Spinus’s assets and was due the earlier of (i) February 16, 2019 or (ii) 15 days subsequent to the Company completing a minimum of a $3,000,000 equity raise. OZOP acquired Spinus to gain control of a license rights agreement for exclusive rights to intellectual property related to minimally invasive spine surgery techniques. The Assumed Debt of $250,000 was paid in November 2018.

On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Power Conversion Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PCTI”), and Catherine Chis (“Chis”), PCTI’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and its sole shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PCTI (the “PCTI Shares”) from Chis (the “Acquisition”). PCTI operates in the very high power niche of the power electronics market, designing and manufacturing leading edge equipment for use in power conversion applications. PCTI serves clients in several industries including energy storage, shore power, DEWs, microgrid, telecommunications, military, transportation, renewable energy, aerospace and mission critical defense systems. PCTI’s clients include Fortune 500 companies, all branches of the US Department of Defense including the US Army and the US Air Force, NASA as well as other global military organizations. The Company believes the Acquisition will close by June 30, 2020, and is in the best interests of the Company and its’ shareholders. In conjunction with the LOI, Michael Chermak and Barry Hollander resigned as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), respectively, and Brian Conway was named CEO and Interim CFO. Mr. Chermak remains as the sole Director of the Company.

Overview

Our Principal Products and Services

We are engaged in the business of inventing, designing, developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative endoscopic instruments, surgical implants, instrumentation, devices and related technologies, focused on spine, neurological and pain management procedures and specialties.

Our principal products and services include a full line of implants which can be used in +80% of all surgical spine cases, including:

Sales and marketing

OZOP’s sales and marketing strategy is based on our market experience and an extensive network of personal relationships built over the careers of our founders and officers. These relationships include surgeons, institutional buyers, and a vast network of surgical product distributors throughout the US. The Company plans to sponsor ‘hands on’ clinical workshops for surgeons in the US to train practitioners in the new techniques and products. The overriding objective of this business approach is to generate steadily increasing revenue and build a customer base that will embrace the Company’s current and future products. This has the two-fold benefit of lowering the company’s capital requirements and decreasing new product adoption curve. It is important to note that the customers of the current product offering are the same buyers that we hope will adopt future products. The same physician customers and distribution partners are all prospects for the new products in development. In fact, in many cases, OZOP plans to use the attraction of early access to these new products as an inducement to secure their immediate business.

We primarily plan to sell our products to hospitals and surgical facilities by (i) employees and contracted sales representatives, and (ii) commission-paid distributors. Our representatives and commission-paid distributors use their business contacts to expand and establish relationships to build our target medical facility customer base. We also plan to execute and maintain stocking distribution agreements providing distributors exclusive or non- exclusive distribution rights in certain geographic areas for the sale and promotion of the products we offer. We believe our IP and exclusive distribution agreements can provide us with important competitive advantages by increasing our brand awareness and ensuring that we use the latest design and manufacturing technology for our products that are perceived to be important to our customers.

We plan to develop and expand our customer portfolio by building relationships with key medical professionals. We will provide on-going product training and support to our sales representatives and independent contractors along with product marketing materials to ensure customer satisfaction with the products we offer. We believe focusing on these key areas is essential to growing our customer base and revenues.

We have significant concentration in and dependence on a small number of customers. In 2019, two (2) customers represented one hundred percent (100%) of our consolidated net revenues. If we lose either customer relationship, without replacing them, it could adversely impact our business, future operating results, and financial condition.

Manufacturing

We contract primarily with small and medium-sized manufacturers that are subject to FDA compliance and approval standards. These manufacturers are highly innovative and cost effective because of their streamlined sales infrastructures. All of our manufacturing partners will be qualified to manufacture under the FDA’s Quality System Regulations/ISO 13485 standards. The Company intends to retain in-house the quality assurance function so that we can approve all products prior to their release to market. We also intend to utilize high quality software in an effort to assure that our products remain compliant throughout all operations. The Company believes that there are no significant issues with availability of needed materials that would prevent us from meeting the projected market demand for our initial products in a timely manner. Packaging design and manufacturing will be outsourced to one or more experienced medical device packaging companies. The Company believes that this will allow for accelerated time to market and optimizing the shelf life of those products that are pre-packaged sterile.

Competition

The global spinal surgery market is characterized by strong competition. The worldwide spinal implant market currently includes over 220 manufacturers, but not all active competitors offer interbody spinal fusion devices in the United States. According to the 2018 Orthoworld, Inc., Orthopedic Industry Annual Report, the top ten companies account for approximately 80% of the overall market. The FDA’s reclassification of spinal fusion devices from Class III to Class II in 2007 has attracted, and will continue to attract, new entrants in the market. The Company has recently seen a series of product launches and an increased focus on research and development activities, and it anticipates that intense competition between the new entrants and existing companies may lead to pricing pressure on all companies in the future.

According to the Orthoworld report, Medtronic Inc. dominates the global market for spinal surgery devices, with a market share of approximately 27%. The Company believes that this is due, in large part, to its broad portfolio of spinal fusion devices. DePuy Synthes ranks second at 16%. Other leading players with market shares of approximately 10% and 8%, respectively include NuVasive Inc. and Stryker Corporation.

We believe the competition in our industry is primarily caused by continued mergers and acquisitions of smaller companies by larger, vertically-integrated companies that produce, market and distribute medical devices and surgical implants. Our vertically-integrated competitors benefit from their ability to control costs for the devices they manufacture and distribute. Moreover, the market in which we operate is sensitive to changes in third-party and government reimbursements and, to a lesser degree, competitive discount pricing. We believe that our industry will continue to see increased mergers and acquisitions because the market is significantly fragmented with numerous medical device distributors and specialized suppliers offering similar product portfolios throughout the United States.

Intellectual Property

We own and license intellectual property (“IP”). On February 1, 2018, Spinus entered into an Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”). Pursuant to the Spinus acquisition, the Company assumed the obligations under the Licensing Agreement and pledged the assets of Spinus as security. In consideration of $250,000 Spinus has the exclusive rights to certain patents and the non-exclusive rights to other patents. The patents surround mechanical or inflatable expandable interbody implant products. The $250,000 was due the earlier of (i) February 16, 2019 or (ii) 15 days subsequent to the Company completing a minimum of a $3,000,000 equity raise. The Company paid the $250,000 on November 20, 2018. The Company also will pay a royalty of 7% of net sales on any product sold utilizing any of the patents. There have not been any sales of the licensed products and accordingly, no royalties have been incurred.

Regulatory Issues

Our business is subject to highly complex United States federal and state regulations that may impact our ability to fully implement our strategic plans and initiatives. We are required to obtain and hold licenses and permits and to comply with the regulatory requirements of various governmental agencies. If we fail to comply with such regulatory requirements or if allegations are made that we fail to comply with such regulations, the economic viability of our Company may be adversely affected.

FDA Regulations

The manufacturers and suppliers of the products we market are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, other federal governmental agencies, and state authorities. These laws and regulations govern the approval of, clearance of, or license to commercialize medical devices (such as implants). This includes compliance with the standards and requirements related to the design, testing, manufacture, labeling, promotion, and sales of the products, record keeping requirements, tracking of devices, reporting of potential product defects and adverse events, conduct of corrections, and recalls and other matters. As a distributor, marketer and repackager/relabeler of such FDA-regulated products, we are subject to independent requirements to register and list certain products. We may be required to obtain state licensure or certifications and we may be subject to inspections, in addition to complying with requirements that apply to the manufacturers of the products we market. Failure to comply with those applicable requirements could result in a wide variety of enforcement actions, ranging from warning letters to more severe sanctions such as fines, civil penalties, operating restrictions, injunctions, and criminal prosecutions.

Healthcare Laws and Regulations

We are required to comply with federal and state healthcare laws and regulations. Such healthcare fraud and abuse laws apply to the relationships that we or our distributors have with healthcare professionals and entities, such as physicians and hospitals. U.S. federal health care laws including laws related to false claims, health care fraud and abuse, physician self-referrals, and anti-kickbacks apply when we or our customers submit claims for items or services that are reimbursed under federally-funded health care programs (such as Medicare or Medicaid). State health care laws of a similar nature apply to state-funded health care programs and may also apply with private third-party payors. The requirements of these laws are complex and subject to varying interpretations. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to federal or state government investigations, substantial fines, exclusion from future participation in government healthcare programs, and civil or criminal sanctions. Such sanctions and damages could adversely affect the economic viability of our Company.

Employees

Other than our officers and directors, we currently do not have any employees.

This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

While our financial statements are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditors have raised a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

THE COMPANY

Ozop Surgical Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada, for the purpose of renting out Segways and bicycles. Following the acquisition of OZOP Surgical, Inc. as discussed below, we have been engaged in the business of inventing, designing, developing, manufacturing and globally distributing innovative endoscopic instruments, surgical implants, instrumentation, devices and related technologies, focused on spine, neurological and pain management procedures and specialties.

On April 13, 2018, we entered into and completed a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with OZOP Surgical, Inc. (“OZOP”), the shareholders of OZOP (the “OZOP Shareholders”) and Denis Razvodovskij, the then holder of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the OZOP Shareholders transferred and exchanged 100% of the capital stock of OZOP in exchange for an aggregate of 25,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”). After giving effect to the redemption of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Redemption Agreement discussed below and the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we had 25,797,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with the OZOP Shareholders, as a group, owning 96.9% of such shares. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby OZOP was considered the accounting acquirer and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger” or a “reverse acquisition,” the historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger were and will be replaced with the historical financial statements of OZOP prior to the reverse merger, in all future filings with the SEC. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the reverse merger have and will include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger.

In connection with the acquisition of OZOP, we purchased and redeemed 2,000,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Razvodovskij for a total purchase price of $350,000 pursuant to a Share Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, effective April 13, 2018, Mr. Razvodovskij resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and sole director, and Michael Chermak, Salman J. Chaudhry and Eric Siu were named as directors of the Company. On March 3, 2019, Mr. Thomas McLeer was named a director. Mr. Chaudhry resigned from our board of directors on March 4, 2019, and Mr. Siu resigned from the board on March 5, 2019.

On March 28, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to designate 1,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock, nor does the Series B Preferred Stock have any right to dividends and any liquidation preference. The Series B Preferred Stock entitles its holder to a number of votes per share equal to 50 votes. On April 1, 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO (resigned February 28, 2020) and Director. The shares were valued at $68,000 of which $25,000 was applied to accrued liabilities-related and $43,000 was recorded as stock-based compensation expense-related parties.

On September 18, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to designate 50,000 shares as Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance, into one share of fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to ten thousand (10,000) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.

On September 19, 2019, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO (resigned February 28, 2020) and Director, in consideration of the cancellation and return of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. On September 20, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Withdrawal”) for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the prior designation of the Company’s Series B Stock was cancelled.

On October 29, 2019, the Company amended its’ Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of capital stock to 2,500,000,000 shares, of which 2,490,000,000 have been designated as common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Preferred Stock, par value $0.001. The Preferred Stock shall be issuable in such series, and with such designations, rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

On December 26, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split became effective on February 10, 2020. The par values and the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All common stock, stock options and per share amounts in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock split.

On December 30, 2019, the Company amended its’ Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of capital stock to 5,000,000,000 shares, of which 4,990,000,000 have been designated as common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Preferred Stock, par value $0.001. The Preferred Stock shall be issuable in such series, and with such designations, rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

OZOP

OZOP was originally incorporated in Switzerland on November 28, 1998 under the name Perma Consultants Holding AG (“Perma”). On July 19, 2016, Mr. Eric Siu (“Siu”), one of our directors purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Perma and changed the name from Perma to Ozop Surgical AG (“Ozop AG”). On February 1, 2018, Ozop AG was re-domiciled as a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Ozop Surgical, Inc. On July 28, 2016, Ozop formed as the sole member, Ozop Surgical, LLC (“Ozop LLC”), a Wyoming limited liability company. On October 28, 2016, Ozop acquired 100% of Ozop Surgical Limited (“Ozop HK”), from Siu, the sole shareholder of Ozop HK. Ozop HK, is a private limited company incorporated in Hong Kong.

On February 16, 2018, OZOP acquired the 100% membership interest (the “Membership Interest”) in Spinus, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Spinus”), from RWO Medical Consulting LLC (“RWO”), a Texas limited liability company (the “Acquisition”). OZOP purchased the Membership Interest from RWO in exchange for; (i) 5,000,000 shares OZOP’s common stock and ii) the assumption of all liabilities of Spinus, including an obligation of $250,000 pursuant to a license agreement by and between Spinus and a third party (the “Assumed Debt”). The Assumed Debt was paid in November 2018. There have not been any sales of the licensed products and accordingly, no royalties have been incurred.

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into the Agreement (see Note 1) with SRI. Pursuant to the Agreement, SRI granted to the Company an exclusive license, for products, as defined in the Agreement, and utilized in spine and related surgical procedures. Under the Agreement, SRI continued to market the Swedge platform along with the existing portfolio to existing US and International customers. Ozop purchased all existing inventory of SRI instruments and implants and utilized SRI as a distributor. The Company began recognizing revenues for the sales of SRI product in September 2019. To optimize sales potential under the Agreement, the Company, on September 2, 2019, engaged an industry experienced consultant, with distributor relationships, performing the services of EVP Sales and Marketing. On January 16, 2020, the Company received via email from SRI notice that the Agreement dated August 23, 2019, between SRI and the Company has been revoked, as the Company did not cure a payment default within the cure period.

Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company generated revenue of $316,865, compared to $157,458 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The revenues are from the sale of spine surgery products and endoscopes. Revenues of $267,742 for the year ended December 31, 2019, were pursuant to the Agreement with SRI, while revenues of $49,123 and $107,851 for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, where from Spinus, were recognized as an agent and were recorded at net. Additionally, revenues from 2018 of $49,607 were derived from Ozop HK.

Other expenses, net, for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, was $3,687,910 and $1,046,933, respectively, and were as follows.

Net loss

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019, was $6,140,158, compared to $2,490,705 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increases are a result of the changes discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Currently, we have limited operating capital. The Company anticipates that it will require a minimum of $1,000,000 of working capital to complete substantially all of its desired business activity for the next twelve months, including bringing new products to market. The Company has achieved only limited revenues from its business operations. Our current capital and our other existing resources will be sufficient only to provide a limited amount of working capital, and, to date, the revenues generated from our business operations have not been sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. As noted above, we will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required. Our inability to generate capital or raise additional funds when required will have a negative impact on our operations, business development and financial results.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we primarily funded our business operations with $1,497,700 of proceeds from the issuances of convertible note financings as well as $100,000 from the sale of 200 shares of common stock at $500 per share. Of the proceeds $200,000 was used for the first license payment due, $410,825 was used to make principal and interest payments on convertible debt and for working capital. We may continue to rely on the issuance of convertible promissory notes to fund our business operations.

As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $10,877 as compared to $50,903 at December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2019, we had current liabilities of $7,872,764 (including $2,462,940 of non-cash derivative liabilities), compared to current assets of $397,343, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $7,475,421. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible debt, derivative liabilities, license fees payable and notes payable.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. On January 16, 2020, the Company received via email from SRI notice that the Agreement dated August 23, 2019, between SRI and the Company has been revoked, as the Company did not cure a payment default within the cure period. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $5,167,116 and a working capital deficit of $7,475,421. In addition, the Company has generated losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $1,040,889, compared to $835,378 for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $6,140,158, adjusted for the loss of $653,551 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss of $861,238 in extinguishment of debt, non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $2,018,556, stock-based compensation of $892,004 and impairment charges of $364,374. Net changes of $216,779 in operating assets and liabilities reduced the cash used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $2,490,705 and a gain of $661,853 in extinguishment of debt, adjusted by the non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $1,582,786, stock based compensation of $333,334 and loss on the change in fair value of derivatives of $33,787. Net changes of $366,274 in operating assets and liabilities reduced the cash used in operating activities.

Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, investing activities were comprised of $200,000 paid pursuant to the Agreement with SRI. For the year ended December 31, 2018, cash used investing activities of $236,066 was comprised of the cash acquired in the Spinus acquisition of $21,580, offset by the purchase of office equipment of $7,646 and payment of $250,000 under the Spinus license agreement.

Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the net cash provided by financing activities was $1,201,875, compared to $1,011,188 for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we received $1,497,700 of proceeds from the issuances of convertible note financings, as well as $100,000 from the sale of 200 shares of common stock at $500 per share and $15,000 received on the issuance of a note payable. The Company made payments on convertible debt and notes payable of $410,825. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received $1,333,000 of proceeds from the issuance of a note payable ($230,000) and convertible note financings ($1,527,425) as well as $300,000 from the sale of 600 shares of common stock at $500 per share. Payments of $350,000 was used to redeem 2,000 shares of common stock from our former CEO and we also made payments on convertible debt of $201,800 and notes payable of $270,012.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in more details in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe the following accounting policies to be most critical to the judgement and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of the Company and Ozop and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries; Ozop LLC, Ozop HK and Spinus. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Research and Development

Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company recorded $75,434 and $88,572 of research and development expenses, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

A review and evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2019, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019, as described below.

We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

Lack of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

We are committed to improving the internal controls and will (1) consider using third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

We have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Family Relationships

None

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No director, executive officer, significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

Corporate Governance

Our Board has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more form than substance.

Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

As with most small, early stage companies until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our Board.

Code of Ethics

We adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the Code of Ethics supplement, but do not replace, any other code of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.

Under the Code of Ethics, all members of the senior financial management shall:

Director Independence

None of the members of our Board of Directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

In performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements.

Our board as a whole will consider executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our board as a whole oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers, if any, and administers our equity incentive and stock option plans, if any.

Each of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Ozop Surgical Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ozop Surgical Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of two years in the periods ending December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 16, 2020, the Company received via email from SRI notice that the Agreement dated August 23, 2019, between SRI and the Company has been revoked, as the Company did not cure a payment default within the cure period. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $5,167,116 and a working capital deficit of $7,475,421. In addition, the Company has generated losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
