OZOP SURGICAL, CORP

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Business

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.

License Agreement

On August 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Spinal Resources, Inc. (“SRI”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, SRI granted to the Company an exclusive license for an eighteen- month term, for products, as defined in the License Agreement, and utilized in spine and related surgical procedures. As consideration for the licensed rights under the License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a license fees equal to $1,500,000, of which $200,000 has been paid as of September 30, 2019, over the eighteen- month term of the License Agreement. The Company recorded the liability at its present value of $1,234,089. Additionally, the Company has agreed to issue 6,000,000 shares of restricted common stock on a quarterly basis, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, of which 1,000,000 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 5,000,000 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 and instruments of the Licensed Products (as defined in the License 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 License 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 SRI 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” SRI 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 Company analyzed the transaction in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined that the acquired assets constitute a business based on the criteria set forth in ASC 805. The acquired assets consist of inputs, processes applied to those inputs, and outputs that are used to generate a return. Based on the foregoing, the Company has accounted for the acquisition as a business combination.

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 final fair value of SRI’s identifiable intangible assets will be determined primarily using the income approach which requires an estimate or forecast of all the expected future cash flows, either through the use of the relief-from-royalty method or the multi-period excess earnings method. 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 historical costs 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.

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 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 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. 

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”). 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.

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

The total purchase price of $528,779 has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values as of the completion of the Acquisition. These allocations reflect various estimates that are currently available. The final fair value of Spinus’s identifiable intangible assets were determined primarily using the income approach which requires an estimate or forecast of all the expected future cash flows, either through the use of the relief-from-royalty method or the multi-period excess earnings method. 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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the 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. 

Emerging Growth Companies

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits

Sales Concentration and credit risk

Following is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, and their accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2019:

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at the time products and services are delivered. An allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance (if any) is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists of finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.

Purchase concentration

The principal purchases by the Company is comprised of finished goods that the Company sells to its customers. Following is a summary of suppliers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s purchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018:

Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar raw materials on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

Property, plant and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Property and equipment  

The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment is as follows:

Depreciation expense was $7,120 and $8,719 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $573 and $1,008 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily represent purchased patent and license rights. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $2,810,000 of patent rights. The Company amortizes these costs over the shorter of the legal life of the patent or its estimated economic life using the straight-line method. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company impaired $44,200 of tradenames as management has decided not to go forward with the use of the trade name Spinus. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $52,538 and $6,618, respectively. In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded goodwill of $2,277,168 related to the SRI transaction. The Company reviews the goodwill allocated to each of our reporting units for possible impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate carrying amount may not be recoverable. When assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount, then the Company performs a two-step impairment test. If the Company concludes otherwise, then no further action is taken. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and only perform a quantitative assessment, which is the first step of the two-step impairment test. In the two-step impairment test, the Company measures the recoverability of goodwill by comparing a reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. There were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated potential impairment of goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of relevant events and circumstances, and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgments and assumptions. The judgment and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry, and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and share price trends, and making the assessment as to whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively and the magnitude of any such impact.

The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined based upon the assignment of our assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill and other intangible assets, to the identified reporting units. Where an acquisition benefits only one reporting unit, the Company allocates, as of the acquisition date, all goodwill for that acquisition to the reporting unit that will benefit. Where the Company has had an acquisition that benefited more than one reporting unit, The Company has assigned the goodwill to our reporting units as of the acquisition date such that the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business, or portion thereof, to be included in that reporting unit over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are assigned to the reporting unit.

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and the Company must perform the second step of the impairment analysis to measure the amount of the impairment loss, by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill, comparing the carrying amount of the goodwill to the resulting implied fair value of the goodwill, and recording an impairment charge for any excess.

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 by: (1) identify the contract (if any) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract (if any); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract (if any); 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. The Company has no outstanding contracts with any of its’ customers. Revenues of SRI products were $36,030 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Revenues from Spinus of $49,123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $28,229 and $69,616 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (from February 17, 2018, the date of the acquisition of Spinus), respectively, are recognized as an agent and are recorded at net. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $4,706 and $43,951, respectively, of advertising and marketing (including trade shows). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $7,466 and $42,811 of advertising and marketing expenses, respectively. 

Research and Development

Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $3,370 and $66,974 of research and development expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $47,657 and $58,222 of research and development expenses, respectively.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and the impact of the adoption of this standard was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value: 

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, for each fair value hierarchy level:

See Note 5

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary are maintained in Hong Kong dollars and the accounts of the U.S. companies are maintained in USD. The accounts of the Hong Kong subsidiary were translated into USD in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders' equity is translated at historical rates and statement of comprehensive loss items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency transactions are reflected in the statements of comprehensive loss.

Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, (Hong Kong dollar per one U.S. dollar):

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 comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders 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 (which aggregated approximately 360,000,000 shares at September 30, 2019) since 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). The Amendments in this Update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018, with no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

With the exception of the new standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

During the year ended December 31, 2017, OZOP issued 19 convertible promissory notes (the “2017 Notes”), in amounts of $10,000 to $50,000. OZOP received proceeds of $710,000 in the aggregate. Of the 2017 Notes, $50,000 was from the wife of one of our Directors at the time (see Note 7). The 2017 Notes mature(d) on their one- year anniversary and bear interest at ten percent (10%). The initial conversion feature allowed the holders to convert the note and any unpaid interest due, into shares of the Company’s common stock on the 15^th business day that the Company becomes listed, at conversion prices equal to discounts of 35%-50% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the common stock. In August 2018, the Company offered any noteholder to convert their principal and interest into shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. OZOP also issued $25,500 of convertible notes for consulting fees. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued a $50,000 convertible promissory note (the “March 2018 Note”) and received proceeds of $50,000. The Company determined that the conversion feature of the 2017 Notes and the March 2018 Note (together, the “Notes”) did not meet the criteria of an embedded derivative and therefore the conversion feature was not bi-furcated and accounted for as a derivative because the Company was a private company, there was no quoted price and no active market for the Company’s common stock.

On April 13, 2018, the Company determined the conversion feature of the Notes represented an embedded derivative since the Notes were convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, on April 13, 2018, the Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under ASC 815 and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of the derivative instruments of the Notes that occurred prior to April 13, 2018, were recorded as a liability on April 13, 2018, with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Note. Such discount was amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts are recorded in other income or expenses in the reporting period, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The embedded feature included in the Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $620,075, interest expense of $14,000 and initial derivative liability of $634,075. On August 29, 2019, pursuant to a Debt Purchase Agreement, one investor sold the principal balance of $15,000, accrued and unpaid interest of $2,624 and a repayment balance of $5,250 to third party investor, for a total purchase price of $22,874 (see below). As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of the 2017 Notes was $150,000 and $165,000, respectively.

On April 13, 2018, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $442,175 (the “Note”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into with an investor dated April 1, 2018. The Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due and payable on April 13, 2019. The note is convertible at any time following the funding of the note into a variable number of the Company's common stock, based on a conversion ratio of 55% of the average of the lowest trading price for the 25 days prior to conversion. The note was funded on April 13, 2018, when the Company received proceeds of $350,000, after OID of $57,675, and disbursements for the lender’s transaction costs, fees and expenses of $34,500, of which $25,000 were recorded as discounts against the debt to be amortized into interest expense through maturity. Periodic payments are due by us on the Note at the rate of $850 per day (the “Repayment Amount”) via direct withdrawal from our bank account, beginning on April 27, 2018 and to last for a 30-day period. Following this period, the Repayment Amount increased to $1,100 per day until the Note is satisfied in full. On June 28, 2018, the Note was amended to increase the Repayment Amount to $1,750 per day. On August 29, 2018, the parties agreed to stop the Repayment Amount, and on November 20, 2018, the parties agreed to restart the Repayment Amount at $1,000 per day. From time to time the investor waives any Repayment Amount for a period of time as agreed upon. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, principal payments of $50,000 were made.

The Company valued the derivative liabilities at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, at $2,050,469 and $1,199,514, respectively. The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions as of September 30, 2019, risk-free interest rates from 1.65% to 1.83% and volatility of 30% to 38%, and as of December 31, 2018; risk-free interest rates from 2.56% to 2.62% and volatility of 61% to 65%. The initial derivative liabilities for convertible notes issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, used the following assumptions; risk-free interest rates from 1.65% to 2.58% and volatility of 30% to 63%.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The Company was incorporated in the United States and has operations in two tax jurisdictions - the United States and Hong Kong. The Company’s HK subsidiary is subject to a 16.5% profit tax based on its taxable net profit. The Company’s U.S. operations are subject to income tax according to U.S. tax law.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes determined at the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

The Company had deferred tax assets as follows:

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has approximately $3,489,000 and $595,000 net operating loss carryforwards available in the United States and Hong Kong, respectively, to reduce future taxable income. The net operating loss from Hong Kong operations can be carried forward with no time limit from the year of the initial loss pursuant to relevant Hong Kong tax laws and regulations. For U.S. purposes the NOL deduction for a tax year is equal to the lesser of (1) the aggregate of the NOL carryovers to such year, plus the NOL carry-backs to such year, or (2) 80% of taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction). Generally, NOLs can no longer be carried back but are allowed to be carried forward indefinitely. The special extended carryback provisions are generally repealed, except for certain farming and insurance company losses. The amendments incorporating the 80% limitation apply to losses arising in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017. It is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets cannot be utilized in the future because there will not be significant future earnings from the entity which generated the net operating loss. Therefore, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods, and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of September 30, 2019, and 2018.

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduces significant changes to U.S. income tax law. Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and certain related-party payments, which are referred to as the global intangible low-taxed income tax and the base erosion tax, respectively. The Tax Act requires the Company to pay U.S. income taxes on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax at a rate of 15.5% to the extent of foreign cash and certain other net current assets and 8% on the remaining earnings. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, the Company has not recorded any adjustments according to Tax Act. As the Company collects and prepares necessary data, and interprets the Tax Act and any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies, the Company may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act will be completed in 2018.

Since the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have not generated income since inception, the Company believes that Tax Act will not have significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Equity Agreement, on July 5, 2019, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). On October 1, 2019, the SEC issued a Notice of Effectiveness of the Company’s Registration Statement.

NOTE 12 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

Management’s Plans
