Ozop Energy Systems
Overview
On December 11, 2020, the Company formed Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. (“OES”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OES was formed to be a manufacturer and distributor of renewable energy products.
OES is actively engaged in the renewable, electric vehicle (“EV”), energy storage and energy resiliency sectors. In addition to its current East Coast location, the Company recently signed a letter of intent to a four- year lease of approximately 10,000 SF in California. We are engaged in multiple business lines that include Project Development as well as Equipment Distribution. Our solar and energy storage projects involve large-scale battery and solar photovoltaics (PV) installations. The utility-scale storage business is based on an arbitrage business model in which we install multiple 1+ megawatt batteries, charge them with off-peak grid electricity under contract with the utility, then sell the power back during peak load hours at a premium, as dictated by prevailing electricity tariffs.
Solar PV: Our PV business model involves the design and construction of electrical generating PV systems that can resell power to the utilities or be used for off grid use as part of our developing Neo-Grids solution. The Neo-Grids proprietary program, patent/s pending, was developed for the off-grid distribution of electricity to reduce the rates, fees and charges currently burdening the EV Charging and residential carport sectors. It will also reduce the lengthy permitting processes and streamline the installations.
Electric Vehicle Chargers: The Neo-Grids, patent pending, is comprised of the design engineering, installation, and operational methodologies as well as the financial arbitrage of how we produce, capture and distribute electrical energy for the EV markets. Neo-Grids will serve both the private auto and the commercial sectors. OES has license rights to the proprietary “flow” that was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in March 2021. The exponential growth of the EV industry has been accelerated by the recent major commitments of most of the major car manufacturers. Our Neo-Grids business model leverages this accelerated growth by offering (1) charging locations that can be installed at a significant discount to utility-tied installations and (2) EV charger electricity that is both renewable and less expensive than comparable grid supplied power as offered by local suppliers.
OES has developed a business plan for the Neo Grids distribution solution that is being executed now and will be coming out of Research & Development for proof of concept in Q3 2021. Having identified several manufacturers and established a supply line for EV chargers, we have entered into agreements for EV charger installations as part of this proof of concept and plan to service them under multi-year agreements.
Equipment Distributor: Building on that, OES has entered the component supply/distribution side of the renewable, resiliency and energy storage industries distributing the core components associated with commercial solar PV systems as well as onsite battery storage and power generation. The components we are distributing include PV panels, solar inverters, solar mounting systems, stationary batteries, onsite generators and other associated electrical equipment and components that are all manufactured by multiple companies, both domestic and international. These core products are sourced from management-developed relationships and are distributed through our existing network and our in-house sales team.
OES management has decades of experience in the renewable, storage and resilient energy businesses and associated markets, which include but are not limited to project finance, project development, equipment finance, construction, utility protocol, regulatory policy and technology assessment.

Currently under management:
● | Eight sites are being negotiated under Letters of Intent for site control for potential implementation of in-front-of-the-meter battery storage projects. |
● | A $4 million, 11 MW three-month supply agreement for solar components with a carport manufacturer. It is anticipated that this agreement will increase to $2-4 Million per month during the balance of 2021. |
● | In-house distribution of inverters, collectors, and racking systems. |
● | EV charging stations, first installation paperwork being negotiated, and we will be filing for all applicable rebates, permits and approvals. First site valuation is approximately $450,000 with 300 additional sites under review. |
PCTI
Business Strategy
PCTI has the technology and capability to enter the solar inverter and energy storage market since many of these technologies are being manufactured outside of the U.S. The U.S. has a manufacturing sector for racking and a small sector for modules, but inverters and energy storage are not as robust domestically. PCTI is working to bring a line of both solar inverters and stationary energy storage products to market.
The current solar inverter market is dominated by five companies: SMA, CPS Solar, SolarEdge, Solectria and Enphase. PCTI is planning to develop a line of large commercial/industrial inverters for the solar industry that are in a similar space as their current line of inverters. PCTI will also analyze the utility inverter market for large scale/utility solar and wind generation. The Company will continue to evaluate the residential and small commercial inverter market to determine if this is a segment to enter in the future.
PCTI wants to engage the energy storage market. Developing energy storage products will not only serve the current needs of the renewable energy and utility markets for frequency regulation but also the long-term needs of addressing capacity issues that exist with or without renewable energy. PCTI is also currently using its unique mobile energy storage inverters and battery chargers to expand upon its capabilities within the maritime and container terminal industry.
Electric Vehicle Chargers
PCTI is analyzing the best way to apply their technology to the rapidly growing EV industry also zeroing in on EV charging stations. PCTI is analyzing the potential of providing the infrastructure for EV charging hubs for passenger vehicles and for heavy duty EVs. The heavy duty EV market has seen rapid growth in school busses, drayage trucks, Yard Hostlers, etc. and the costs of manufacturing these heavy duty EV’s has been decreasing rapidly, creating a need for heavy duty EV charging stations. The Heavy Duty Truck Electrification Market has a forecast of the compound annual growth rate of 14.3% and $25.5 Billion by 2027. The Global Electric Vehicle Market, valued at $118 Billion in 2017, is expected to reach $567 Billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 22.3%. Similar to heavy duty trucks and multiple EV charging stations, electric vessels for marine applications such as ferry boats are growing and present an opportunity for PCTI battery chargers.
Solar Inverters
PCTI sees an opportunity in entering the solar inverter market by using their existing technologies and applying them directly to the needs of solar inverters. The Company will be analyzing the existing market of foreign made inverters to provide a more substantial American made option. It will be the goal of PCTI to determine how to get the price point to be competitive as well as make sure new safety and fire codes are applied to their product as more states and countries are adopting codes such as these. The global solar inverter market is projected to be at $12.8 billion in 2020 and to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 15.5% from 2020 to 2025.
Our Principal Products and Services
PCTI has four main product lines: DC Power Supplies from 5KW to 2MW, Battery chargers from 5KW to 2MW, DC/AC inverters to 1.5MVA and frequency converters up to 1MVA.

Apply Technology to Various Types of Energy Storage
PCTI has the advantage of being able to apply its battery chargers and inverters to any type of energy storage system. As the cost, safety and relevance of the many types of energy storage solutions change in the years to come, they will all need battery chargers and inverters. Following are the various types of technologies used for energy storage; PCTI has provided equipment for many of these applications for a number of years.
○ | Batteries |
● | Lithium Ion | |
● | Flow | |
● | Lead Acid | |
● | Sodium |

Microgrids
Microgrids are becoming more necessary not just as a way to provide electricity to a remote region but also as a source of resiliency. Whether the entity is critical to society like a hospital, police station or container terminal or needs to maintain revenues by remaining operational (e.g. a manufacturer or food processor), a microgrid provides that unique function. Because PCTI’s inverters and battery chargers are in the highest power segments, they are uniquely suited for microgrid applications.
Following are the main functions and components of commercial or utility scale microgrids:
● | Generate Electricity on Site |
● | Renewables | |
● | Backup Generators |
● | Convert & Store the energy on site |
● | Inverters between generation and storage/use | |
● | Energy Storage & Battery Chargers |
● | Software & Controls |
● | Ability to remain connected to the grid or operate in “Island” mode | |
● | Analyze usage & production habits |

Utility Scale Energy Storage
Utility Scale Energy Storage offers a number of advantages to the grid operators, power generators and end users. By incorporating energy storage into different sections of the grid it allows renewables to be more efficient in dispersing energy when demand is high. It allows utilities to be able to hold onto energy and release it in relation to usage trends. By performing these functions and others it makes the energy on the grid more efficient and less expensive for the end user as well as providing more stability and resiliency when demand is high and brown outs are common. Because PCTI’s inverters and battery chargers are in the highest power segments, they are uniquely suited for the larger utility scale applications.
Following are Utility Scale Energy Storage applications.
● | Applications for Pumped Hydro Systems |
● | Utility Scale Renewables | |
● | Wind & Solar | |
● | Providing a smooth output from these resources to the grid | |
● | Providing Energy Storage solutions where the grid is oversaturated |
● | Transmission & Distribution System |
● | New resource for grid operators and utilities to maintain stability | |
● | Provide load function, holding energy when prices are low | |
● | Provide generating function, dispersing energy when prices are high |
Sales and marketing

Competition
There are different competitors for each product line that are also further divided by power segment. By serving the high power products sector, we have sought to limit competition and commoditization of our products. We compete as a solution driven company, providing PCTI with what we believe are better margins and larger order values. As we are moving the direction of the company into the renewable energy storage market space, we are aware that some of the competitors have strong brand names. We believe PCTI offers a larger breath of product offering in these power ranges while our competition is fragmented in this area. In the high power segment, we believe PCTI’s experience, technology and flexibility provides a great advantage over other competitors.
We compete with many companies in the various application segments including larger, more established companies with substantial capabilities, personnel and financial resources.
PCTI is positioning itself to compete in the high power segment, with a focus on renewable energy and EV markets. These two segments are continuously looking to advance their products, which makes it difficult for the larger companies to adjust. We believe this is how PCTI will have an advantage to compete as a solutions driven company.
Many of our competitors have a larger presence in global markets. PCTI is also looking to expend its global footprint.
Intellectual Property
PCTI has a 29-year design library that includes all four product lines as well as some related equipment. One of our advantages over our competitors is our proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) control currently in its 7th generation. To the best of our knowledge, we believe that none of our competitors are using this sophisticated control topology at this time. DSP control permits great flexibility in our designs, allowing us to produce a wide variety of designs in a shorter period of time than our competitors. DSP allows for real-time control and monitoring of the equipment, which is faster than sequential control. This provides significant performance improvement as well as energy savings in the equipment.
PCTI additionally has trade secrets and know-how related to the design, manufacture, and testing of the equipment.
Research and Development
To maintain our level of continuous innovation, PCTI conducts numerous internal R&D projects. Additionally, the unique needs and applications of our customers require that we conduct R&D and engineering in order to provide them with the needed solutions and products.
Employees
As of the date of this filing, the Company employs 13 full time and 3 part- time employees. Ozop and PCTI have contracts with various independent contractors and consultants to fulfill additional needs, including accounting, investor relations, business development, permitting, and other corporate functions, and may increase staff further as we expand activities and bring new projects on line.
We are a smaller reporting Company and are not required to include disclosures under this item.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
We do not own any real estate or other properties. On October 25, 2019, PCTI executed a non-cancellable lease of office and industrial space totalling 11,800 square feet in Zelienople, PA., which began December 1, 2019 and expires on November 30, 2022. The lease terms include monthly rent of $7,000. The Company also pays $3,400 on a month-to-month basis for its corporate office in Warwick, New York.
On March 4, 2021 a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (the “Complaint”) was filed by a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Complaint named Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (“OZOP”) and Brian Conway, Ozop’s Chief Executive Officer, (the “CEO”). OZOP and the CEO are collectively referred to herein as “Defendants”. The Complaint alleges that the Plaintiff’s purchase and sale of OZOP’s securities, and damages caused by OZOP and its CEO, were violations of federal and state securities law and common laws. This securities fraud complaint is based on two (2) press releases issued by OZOP: the first dated January 12, 2021, which the complainant alleges contained materially false and misleading information about the execution of a Master Supply Agreement, and the second dated February 5, 2021, that retracted the press release it issued on January 12, 2021. In reliance on OZOP’s January 12, 2021 press release (which was retracted and corrected by OZOP’s February 5, 2021 press release), on the same date, Plaintiff sold all of his 4,370,180 OZOP shares on the public market. The Plaintiff alleges that the February 5, 2021 corrective press release (which retracted the January 12, 2021 press release and corrected the material misrepresentations provided therein) caused a dramatic increase in the price of OZOP’s shares, significantly in excess of the price at which Plaintiff sold his OZOP shares on January 12, 2021 (in reliance on the January 12, 2021 press release), causing Plaintiff to suffer significant losses, in excess of two Million Dollars, as a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ material misrepresentations. The Company disputes the allegations in the Complaint has engaged counsel to vigorously defend the Company and the CEO.

THE COMPANY
Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada.
On October 29, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Ozop Surgical Name Change Subsidiary, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Sub was formed under the Nevada Revised Statutes for the sole purpose and effect of changing the Company’s name to “Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.” That same day the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Merger Sub and filed Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Nevada Secretary of State, merging the Merger Sub into the Company, which were stamped effective as of November 3, 2020. As permitted by the Section 92.A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the sole purpose and effect of the filing of Articles of Merger was to change the name of the Company from Ozop Surgical Corp. to “Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.”

Stock Purchase Agreement
On July 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Power Conversion Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PCTI”), and Catherine Chis (“Chis”), PCTI’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and its sole shareholder. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company acquired one thousand (1,000) shares of PCTI, which represents all of the outstanding shares of PCTI, from Chis in exchange for the issuance of 47,500 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, 18,667 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, and 500 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock to Chis. The Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination and was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes with PCTI as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). In accordance with the accounting treatment for 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 PCTI prior to the reverse merger, in all future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.
PCTI designs, develops, manufactures and distributes standard and custom power electronic solutions. PCTI serves clients in several industries including energy storage, shore power, DEWs, microgrid, telecommunications, military, transportation, renewable energy, aerospace and mission critical defense systems. Customers include the United States military, other global military organizations and many of the world’s largest industrial manufacturers. All of its products are manufactured in the United States. Because of the Company’s product scope and the high-power niche that their products occupy, the Company is aggressively targeting the rapidly growing renewable and energy storage markets. The Company’s mission is to be a global leader for high power electronics with a standard of continued innovation.
The Company utilized the Option Pricing Method (the “OPM”) to value the transaction. The OPM method treats all equity linked instruments as call options on the enterprise value, with exercise prices and liquidation preferences based on the terms of the various common, preferred, options, warrants, and convertible debt. Under this method, the common stock only has value if the funds available for distribution to the shareholders exceed the liquidation preferences of the preferred stock and face value of the convertible debt. The timing of a liquidity event is required to utilize this method. The OPM considers the various terms of the stockholder agreements—including the level of seniority among the securities, dividend policy, conversion ratios, and cash allocations—upon liquidation of the enterprise. In addition, the method implicitly considers the effect of the liquidation preference as of the future liquidation date, not as of the valuation date. A feature of the OPM is that it explicitly recognizes the option-like payoffs of the various share classes utilizing information in the underlying asset (that is, estimated volatility) and the risk-free rate to adjust for risk by adjusting the probabilities of future payoffs. 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.
Purchase Price Allocation | ||||
Fair value of OZOP equity consideration issued | $ | 818,444 | ||
Assets acquired | $ | 1,229,917 | ||
Goodwill | 11,201,145 | |||
Liabilities assumed | (11,612,618 | ) | ||
$ | 818,444 |
The Company reviews the goodwill allocated to each of our reporting units for possible impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Pursuant to that review, management has determined that the goodwill arising from the above transaction has been impaired and accordingly $11,201,145 has been recorded as an impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $20,482,953, compared to $571,595 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increases were primarily a result of impairment expenses of $11,526,303, stock compensation expense of $4,286,648, an increase in other expenses of $2,847,909 as well as the operating results discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Currently, we have limited operating capital. Our current capital and our other existing resources will be sufficient to provide the working capital needed for our current business, however, additional capital will be required to meet our debt obligations, 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 business development and financial results. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as well as our recurring losses from operations, deficit in equity, and the need to raise additional capital to fund operations. This “going concern” could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities. Management’s plans in regard to these factors are discussed below and also in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements filed herein.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we primarily funded our business operations with $750,000 of proceeds received pursuant to an agreement to provide future perpetual payments of 1.8% (as amended) of revenues, $1,553,000 of proceeds from the issuances of $1,750,000 of promissory notes, $489,000 of proceeds from the issuances of $723,175 of convertible notes, $100,400 from the PPP loan, $400,000 advance from affiliate and $42,420 received from shareholders. Of the proceeds, $101,864 was used for repayment of convertible notes and notes payable and $74,470 was paid back to shareholders.
As of December 31, 2020, we had cash of $1,808,476 as compared to $27,382 at December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $6,885,845 (including $1,283,378 of non-cash derivative liabilities), compared to current assets of $2,177,792, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $4,708,053. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible debt, derivative liabilities and notes payable.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged. Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout the United States, certain federal, state and local governmental authorities have issued stay-at-home orders, proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but it may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Management expects that its business will be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.
Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1,811,816 compared to $94,084 for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $20,482,953, adjusted by impairment charges of $11,526,303, stock-based compensation of $4,286,648, the non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $2,498,966 and losses on the fair value changes in derivatives of $176,050. Net changes of $378,723 in operating assets and liabilities and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $195,553 reduced the cash used in operating activities.

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 its’ wholly owned subsidiaries; PCTI, 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.
19 |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily represent purchased patent and license 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.
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, 2020, and 2019.
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, 2020, 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:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets; | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
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, 2020, 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.

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.
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Identification of directors and executive officers.
The names and ages of our directors and executive officers are set forth below. Also included is their principal occupation(s). Our By-Laws provide for up to four directors. All directors are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Name | Age | Position | Beginning | |||||
Brian Conway | 50 | Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer | February 28, 2020 |
Brian P. Conway, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer brings 20 years of proven success in marketing and business development for both private and publicly traded companies. Starting off in database management and sales for Venture Direct on Madison Avenue, he crossed over to Wall Street first as a co-founder of Waypoint Capital Partners. During this time, he has overseen national sales, marketing, business and product development, national account customers, and new business relations with international and US companies while creating awareness for public companies with many of the nation’s top public relations firms. From October 1, 2014, through August 31, 2019, Mr. Conway was the CEO, CFO and Director of Ngen Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a/ Liberated Solutions, Inc.). His relationships and experience with investment bankers, non-dilutive financing, and public relations should be instrumental in moving the Company forward in the upcoming months.
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.
22 |
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:
● | Act honestly and ethically in the performance of their duties at our company, | |
● | Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, | |
● | Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications by our company, | |
● | Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments and other private and public regulatory agencies that effect the conduct of our business and our financial reporting, | |
● | Act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing the member’s independent judgment to be subordinated | |
● | Respect the confidentiality of information in the course of work, except when authorized or legally obtained to disclosure such information, | |
● | Share knowledge and maintain skills relevant to carrying out the member’s duties within our company, | |
● | Proactively promote ethical behavior as a responsible partner among peers and colleagues in the work environment and community, | |
● | Achieve responsible use of and control over all assets and resources of our company entrusted to the member, and | |
● | Promptly bring to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer any information concerning (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operating of internal controls which could adversely affect to record, process, summarize and report financial data or (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting or internal controls. |
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.
23 |
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. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, and certain other persons to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC, and to furnish the Company with copies of the forms. The Company does not believe that all of its directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all such filing requirements during 2020.

F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as Ozop Surgical Corp). (the Company) as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, 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, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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, As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,793,375 and a working capital deficit of $4,604,189. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Power Conversion Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Power Conversion Technologies, Inc. (an S-Corporation) as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of operations and retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Power Conversion Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, 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.

We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Power Conversion Technologies, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2020
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Business
Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the” Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada.
On October 29, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Ozop Surgical Name Change Subsidiary, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Sub was formed under the Nevada Revised Statutes for the sole purpose and effect of changing the Company’s name to “Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.” That same day the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Merger Sub and filed Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Nevada Secretary of State, merging the Merger Sub into the Company, which were stamped effective as of November 3, 2020. As permitted by the Section 92.A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the sole purpose and effect of the filing of Articles of Merger was to change the name of the Company from Ozop Surgical Corp to “Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.”
Stock Purchase Agreement
On July 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Power Conversion Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PCTI”), and Catherine Chis (“Chis”), PCTI’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and its sole shareholder. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company acquired one thousand (1,000) shares of PCTI, which represents all of the outstanding shares of PCTI, from Chis in exchange for the issuance of 47,500 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, 18,667 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, and 500 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock to Chis. The Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination and was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes with PCTI as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). In accordance with the accounting treatment for 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 PCTI prior to the reverse merger, in all future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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.
PCTI designs, develops, manufactures and distributes standard and custom power electronic solutions. PCTI serves clients in several industries including energy storage, shore power, DEWs, microgrid, telecommunications, military, transportation, renewable energy, aerospace and mission critical defense systems. Customers include the United States military, other global military organizations and many of the world’s largest industrial manufacturers. All of its products are manufactured in the United States. Because of the Company’s product scope and the high-power niche that their products occupy, the Company is aggressively targeting the rapidly growing renewable and energy storage markets. The Company’s mission is to be a global leader for high power electronics with a standard of continued innovation.
F-8 |
The Company utilized the Option Pricing Method (the “OPM”) to value the transaction. The OPM method treats all equity linked instruments as call options on the enterprise value, with exercise prices and liquidation preferences based on the terms of the various common, preferred, options, warrants, and convertible debt. Under this method, the common stock only has value if the funds available for distribution to the shareholders exceed the liquidation preferences of the preferred stock and face value of the convertible debt. The timing of a liquidity event is required to utilize this method. The OPM considers the various terms of the stockholder agreements—including the level of seniority among the securities, dividend policy, conversion ratios, and cash allocations—upon liquidation of the enterprise. In addition, the method implicitly considers the effect of the liquidation preference as of the future liquidation date, not as of the valuation date. A feature of the OPM is that it explicitly recognizes the option-like payoffs of the various share classes utilizing information in the underlying asset (that is, estimated volatility) and the risk-free rate to adjust for risk by adjusting the probabilities of future payoffs. 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.

Fair value of OZOP equity consideration issued | $ | 818,444 | ||

Goodwill | 11,201,145 | |||
Liabilities assumed | (11,612,618 | ) | ||
$ | 818,444 |
The Company reviews the goodwill allocated to each of our reporting units for possible impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Pursuant to that review, management has determined that the goodwill arising from the above transaction has been impaired and accordingly $11,201,145 has been recorded as an impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Included in the audited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, are the results of Ozop, the accounting acquiree, of revenues of $-0- and a loss before income taxes of $7,782,364.The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, as if the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of that period presented. The pro forma results include the effect of certain purchase accounting adjustments, such as the estimated changes in depreciation and amortization expense on the acquired intangible assets. However, pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost savings (if any) of the combined companies. Accordingly, such amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results if the acquisition has occurred on the date indicated, or which may occur in the future.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
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. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,793,375 and a working capital deficit of $4,604,189. The Company has also generated losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged. Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout the United States, certain federal, state and local governmental authorities have issued stay-at-home orders, proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but it may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Management expects that its business will be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.
Management’s Plans
As a public company, management believes it will be able to access the public equities market for fund raising for product development, sales and marketing and as we expand our distribution in the U.S. market, we will need to meet increasing inventory requirements.
On December 11, 2020, the Company formed Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. (“OES”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OES was formed to be a manufacturer and distributor of renewable energy products.
Since January 1, 2021, the Company has raised $12,000,000 for working capital purposes and to implement and carry out the following initiatives.
OES is actively engaged in the renewable, electric vehicle (“EV”), energy storage and energy resiliency sectors. In addition to its current East Coast location, the Company recently signed a letter of intent to a four- year lease of approximately xx SF in California. We are engaged in multiple business lines that include Project Development as well as Equipment Distribution. Our solar and energy storage projects involve large-scale battery and solar photovoltaics (PV) installations. The utility-scale storage business is based on an arbitrage business model in which we install multiple 1+ megawatt batteries, charge them with off-peak grid electricity under contract with the utility, then sell the power back during peak load hours at a premium, as dictated by prevailing electricity tariffs.
Solar PV: Our PV business model involves the design and construction of electrical generating PV systems that can resell power to the utilities or be used for off grid use as part of our developing Neo-Grids solution. The Neo-Grids proprietary program, patent/s pending, was developed for the off-grid distribution of electricity to reduce the rates, fees and charges currently burdening the EV Charging and residential carport sectors. It will also reduce the lengthy permitting processes and streamline the installations.
Electric Vehicle Chargers: The Neo-Grids, patent pending, is comprised of the design engineering, installation, and operational methodologies as well as the financial arbitrage of how we produce, capture and distribute electrical energy for the EV markets. Neo-Grids will serve both the private auto and the commercial sectors. OES has license rights to the proprietary “flow” that was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in March 2021. The exponential growth of the EV industry has been accelerated by the recent major commitments of most of the major car manufacturers. Our Neo-Grids business model leverages this accelerated growth by offering (1) charging locations that can be installed at a significant discount to utility-tied installations and (2) EV charger electricity that is both renewable and less expensive than comparable grid supplied power as offered by local suppliers.
F-10 |
OES has developed a business plan for the Neo Grids distribution solution that is being executed now and will be coming out of Research & Development for proof of concept in Q3 2021. Having identified several manufacturers and established a supply line for EV chargers, we have entered into agreements for EV charger installations as part of this proof of concept and plan to service them under multi-year agreements.
Equipment Distributor: Building on that, OES has entered the component supply/distribution side of the renewable, resiliency and energy storage industries distributing the core components associated with commercial solar PV systems as well as onsite battery storage and power generation. The components we are distributing include PV panels, solar inverters, solar mounting systems, stationary batteries, onsite generators and other associated electrical equipment and components that are all manufactured by multiple companies, both domestic and international. These core products are sourced from management-developed relationships and are distributed through our existing network and our in-house sales team.
OES management has decades of experience in the renewable, storage and resilient energy businesses and associated markets, which include but are not limited to project finance, project development, equipment finance, construction, utility protocol, regulatory policy and technology assessment.
Currently under management:
● | Eight sites are being negotiated under Letters of Intent for site control for potential implementation of in-front-of-the-meter battery storage projects. | |
● | A $4 million, 11 MW three-month supply agreement for solar components with a carport manufacturer. It is anticipated that this agreement will increase to $2-4 Million per month during the balance of 2021. | |
● | In-house distribution of inverters, collectors, and racking systems. | |
● | EV charging stations, first installation paperwork being negotiated, and we will be filing for all applicable rebates, permits and approvals. First site valuation is approximately $450,000 with 300 additional sites under review. |
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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 PCTI and the Company’s other 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.
F-11 |
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. The Company has no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020, and 2019.
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 years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, and their accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020:

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
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. In evaluating the net realizable value of inventory, management also considers, if applicable, other factors, including known trends, market conditions, currency exchange rates and other such issues.
The components of inventories at December 31, 2020, and 2019, are as follows:
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 207,178 | $ | 116,329 | ||||
Work in process | 142,526 | 845,218 | ||||||
Finished goods | 9,643 | 10,266 | ||||||
$ | 359,347 | $ | 971,813 |

Purchase concentration
The principal purchases by the Company are comprised of parts and raw materials that the Company assembles and manufactures and sells to its customers. There were no suppliers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s purchases for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019.
Suppliers to the Company vary from period to period dependent upon our customer’s order specifications. In any specific reporting period, we may be relying on certain vendors, however these vendors will vary dependent on the parts and materials needed. The Company believes it is not reliant on any particular vendor for future needs.
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.
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:
December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||||||
Office equipment | $ | 143,247 | $ | 78,851 | ||||
Less: Accumulated Depreciation | (82,576 | ) | (63,642 | ) | ||||
Property and Equipment, Net | $ | 60,671 | $ | 15,199 |
Depreciation expense was $11,857 and $7,259 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily represent purchased patent and license 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded amortization expense of $20,834. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company impaired $130,207 of license rights as management has decided not to go forward with the use of the license rights of Spinus. 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. 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.
F-13 |
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on December 31, and at any time upon occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances. 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.
The transaction with PCTI resulted in recognizing goodwill of $11,201,145 (see Note 1).
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. Under ASC 606, 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. Other than The Company has no outstanding contracts with any of its’ customers. The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms.
For contracts with customers, ownership of the goods and associated revenue are transferred to customers at a point in time, generally upon shipment of a product to the customer or receipt of the product by the customer and without significant judgments. Advance payments are typically required for commercial customers and are recorded as current liability until revenue is recognized. Advance payments are not required for government customers. The majority of contracts typically require payment within 30 to 60 days after transfer of ownership to the customer.
For the periods covered herein, we did not have post shipment obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection, or other similar privileges.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company recorded $55,249 and $611, respectively, of advertising and marketing expenses.

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 this note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in this 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.
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:
● | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
● | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
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 derivative instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020, for each fair value hierarchy level:
December 31, 2020 | Derivative Liabilities | Total | ||||||
Level I | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
Level II | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
Level III | $ | 1,238,378 | $ | 1,238,378 |

Leases
The Company accounts for leases under ASU 2016-02 (see Note 14), applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. We allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease ROU assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate of 7.5%, based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Operating lease expense is recognized pursuant to on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in rent in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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.

Legal matters

The Complaint named Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (“OZOP”) and Brian Conway, Ozop’s Chief Executive Officer, (the “CEO”). OZOP and the CEO are collectively referred to herein as “Defendants”. The Complaint alleges that the Plaintiff’s purchase and sale of OZOP’s securities, and damages caused by OZOP and its CEO, were violations of federal and state securities law and common laws. This securities fraud complaint is based on two (2) press releases issued by OZOP: the first dated January 12, 2021, which the complainant alleges contained materially false and misleading information about the execution of a Master Supply Agreement, and the second dated February 5, 2021, that retracted the press release it issued on January 12, 2021. In reliance on OZOP’s January 12, 2021 press release (which was retracted and corrected by OZOP’s February 5, 2021 press release), on the same date, Plaintiff sold all of his 4,370,180 OZOP shares on the public market. The Plaintiff alleges that the February 5, 2021 corrective press release (which retracted the January 12, 2021 press release and corrected the material misrepresentations provided therein) caused a dramatic increase in the price of OZOP’s shares, significantly in excess of the price at which Plaintiff sold his OZOP shares on January 12, 2021 (in reliance on the January 12, 2021 press release), causing Plaintiff to suffer significant losses, in excess of two Million Dollars, as a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ material misrepresentations.
