Business Overview

Ozop Energy Systems

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 and is actively engaged in the renewable, electric vehicle (“EV”), energy storage and energy resiliency sectors. 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.

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.

Equipment Distributor: OES has entered the component supply/distribution side of the renewable, resiliency and energy storage industries distributing the core components associated with residential and commercial solar PV systems as well as onsite battery storage and power generation. In April 2021, the Company signed a five- year lease (beginning June 1, 2021) of approximately 8,100 SF in California, for office and warehouse space to support the sales and distribution of our west coast operations. 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. Sales were approximately $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Solar PV: Our PV business model involves the design and construction of electrical generating PV systems that can sell power to the utilities or be used for off grid use as part of our developing Neo-Grids solution. The Neo-Grids proprietary program, patents pending, was developed for the off-grid distribution of electricity to remove or reduce the dependency on utilities that currently burdens the EV Charging sectors. It will also reduce or eliminate the lengthy permitting processes and streamline the installations of those EV chargers.

Modular Energy Distribution System: 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 with reduced delays, restricted areas or load limits and (2) EV charger electricity that is produced from renewable sources claiming little to no carbon footprint.

OES has developed a business plan for the Neo Grids distribution solution that is being executed now and will be coming out of Research and Development for proof of concept in Q4 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.

Ozop Plus

On August 19, 2021, the Company formed Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. (“Ozop Capital”), a Delaware corporation. The Company is the majority shareholder of Ozop Capital. On October 29, 2021, EV Insurance Company, Inc. (“EVCO”) was formed as a captive insurance company in the State of Delaware. EVCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ozop Capital (DBA OZOP Plus). Ozop Plus plans on producing vehicle service contracts (“VSC’s”) for electric vehicles (EV’s). to respond to not only in filling the gap of a manufacturer’s warranty but to bring added value to EV owners by utilizing our partnerships and strengths in the renewable energy market to offer unique and innovative services. Among EV owners’ concerns are the EV battery repair and replacement costs, range anxiety, environmental responsibilities, roadside assistance, and the accelerated wear on additional components that EV vehicles experience. Management believes that the Ozop Plus VSC will give “peace of mind” to the EV buyer. The Company is currently in negotiations to complete the necessary agreements to launch the product in Q2 2022. Additionally, the Company is also in discussions with entities whereby Ozop Plus can re-insure the battery portion of another entity’s VSC.

PCTI

The following relates to PCTI activity during the year ended December 31, 2021. Due to supply chain issues and other factors, management is currently reviewing the current business model of PCTI, in determining the best course of action going forward.

PCTI designs, develops, manufactures and distributes standard and custom power electronic solutions. All of its products are manufactured in the United States.

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.

PCTI historically has manufactured the following product types:

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.

Sales and marketing

For legacy products, the Company uses a government contracting service that reviews the daily buying notices from the U.S. government and filters them via keywords specific to the company’s market sectors. Additionally, opportunities come through the U.S. Governments System of Award Management.

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 30-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 7^th 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 21 full 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.

Ozop Capital was formed as a holding company and seeks to develop a captive insurance company. Brian Conway was appointed as the sole officer and director of Ozop Capital and has voting control of Ozop Capital.

On October 29, 2021, EV Insurance Company, Inc. (“EVCO”) was formed as a captive insurance company in the State of Delaware. EVCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ozop Capital. On January 7, 2022, EVCO filed with New Castle County, Delaware DBA OZOP Plus.

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.

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.

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 years 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 year ended December 31, 2020, as if the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of that period. 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.

Stock Redemption Agreement

On July 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Chis to purchase the 47,500 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock held by Chis and the 18,667 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock held by Chis for the total purchase price of $11,250,000.

Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

The following discussion relates to the historical financial statements of PCTI, and beginning on July 11, 2020 the consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of PCTI and Ozop, (the combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger).

Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated revenue of $11,928,605 compared to $1,411,432 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in revenues is a result of revenues of $10,595,799 from Ozop Energy Systems, beginning May 2021, and are classified as sourced and distributed products. Sales are summarized as follows:

Cost of sales

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized $10,342,413 and $1,404,348, respectively, of cost of sales.

Based on the above cost of sales, gross margin was 13.3% and 0.5% for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The increase of gross margin for the current year is a result of the manufactured orders shipped in 2021 were at a higher margin than the manufactured orders were in 2020. While the improved margin was partially offset by the lower margins recognized on the sourced and distributed products, gross profit dollars increased from the sale of the sourced and distributed products. The sourced and distributed margins were approximately 7.9% for 2021. Due to product availability, increased buy prices and delivery issues that the solar industry experienced at the end of the 4^th quarter 2021, and into the first quarter of 2022, the Company expects that margins on sourced products may be temporarily reduced at the beginning of 2022. However, the Company anticipates that margins of sourced products will rise during the remainder of 2022. While the overall margin will be reduced, the higher gross profit dollars generated from the higher sourced and distributed products revenues will benefit the Company.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, were $14,387,941 and $17,585,427, respectively. The operating expenses were comprised of:

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the above amounts include expenses incurred by PCTI for the year ended December 31, 2020, and expenses incurred by Ozop for the period July 11, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

Wages and management fees- related parties, include amounts paid to our CEO and to the President (resigned July 2021) of PCTI. The CEO is eligible for additional bonuses as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Beginning January 1, 2021, the CEO was compensated $20,000 per month and effective September 1, 2021, an additional $10,000 per month for the management of Ozop Capital. The following table summarizes management fees:

The Series E Preferred Stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2021 is a result of on March 2, 2021, the BOD authorized the issuance of 1,800 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to Mr. Conway and on April 16, 2021, the BOD authorized the issuance of 1,050 to Mr. Conway. The issuances were for services performed. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Preferred Stock, including the redemption value of $1,000 per share, the Company recorded $2,850,000 as stock-based compensation expense for year ended December 31, 2021.

The Series D Preferred Stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020, of $4,286,648, is related to 1,333 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Conway on August 28, 2020, pursuant to his employment agreement. The Series D Preferred Stock was convertible in the aggregate into three times the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the time of conversion. Mr. Conway owns 6.67% of the issued and outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, and based on the 3,107,037,634 shares outstanding on August 28, 2020, Mr. Conway’s Preferred Stock was convertible into 621,253,401 shares of common stock. Based on the share price of the common stock on that date of $0.0065, the shares were valued at $4,286,648.

Stock based compensation, other for the year ended December 31, 2021, of $6,472,751 is comprised of the following stock issuances:

Salaries, taxes and benefits increased for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Included in the increase are the cost of OES employees in 2021. The California operation of OES had expenses of $378,232 for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition to the California employees, OES had payroll expenses of $284,525 covering business development, sales, administration and IT.

Professional and consulting fees increased to $1,284,364 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $459,340 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was due to accounting and auditing expenses of Ozop included in the current year, the engagement of various consultants by OES as we initiated the Company’s business plan regarding distribution of renewable energy products, the inclusion of Ozop Capital’s consultants as well as an increase in legal fees in 2021. The Company’s consolidated current monthly professional and consulting fees is approximately $140,000.

Advertising and marketing expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was related to additional marketing programs during the year ended December 31, 2020, including brand awareness programs for both PCTI and Ozop.

Rent and office expense (including supplies, utilities and internet costs) increased for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was the result of including in 2021, rent and office expense of approximately $41,983 for Ozop and $121,343 for OES. The Company estimates that the monthly OES rent and office expense for the California operation to be approximately $18,000 per month.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had the following expenses charged to impairment:

Other Income (Expenses)

Other expenses, net, for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, was $182,501,302 and $3,389,890, respectively, and were as follows.

The increase in other expense for the year ended December 31, 2021, is primarily a result of loss on extinguishment of debt related to the market value of shares of common stock issued in excess of the debt and accrued interest extinguished. The Company also issued 175,000,000 shares of restricted common stock related to the restructure of the deferred liability. The shares were valued at $0.094 per share and the Company recognized $16,450,000 of restructuring costs. Included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021, is the initial $38,907,939 of fair value related to the issuance of 375,000,000 warrants. In addition, the increases were the result of the amortization of debt discounts and losses on changes in fair values of derivatives, related to convertible notes and warrants.

Net loss

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $195,303,051 compared to $20,968,243 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in the loss was primarily a result of the increase in other expenses of $179,111,412 described above partially offset by lower operating expenses and the increase in gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Currently, 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. If we are unable to generate capital or raise additional funds when required it 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 3 to the consolidated financial statements filed herein.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we primarily funded our business operations with $15,000,000 of proceeds received pursuant to the issuances of promissory notes and $13,100,000 received from the Series D SPA (see Note 13 to the financial statements filed herein). Of the proceeds, $5,000,000 was used for the redemption of 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and $11,250,000 was used for the redemption of Chis’s Series C and Series D Preferred Stock (see Note 11 to the financial statements filed herein).

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash of $6,767,167 as compared to $1,808,476 at December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, we had current liabilities of $38,385,016 (including $20,966,701 of non-cash derivative liabilities), compared to current assets of $10,159,108, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $28,225,908. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible debt, derivative liabilities, customer deposits, lease obligations 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, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $6,368,006 compared to $1,811,816 for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $195,303,051, adjusted by loss on debt extinguishment of $95,499,996, non- cash interest expense of $51,492,115 (including $38,907,939 for the initial fair value of the 375,000,000 warrants issued), losses on the fair value changes in derivatives related to warrants and convertible notes of $17,349,075, debt restructuring costs of $16,450,000, stock-based compensation of $9,322,751 and the non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $189,348. Net changes of $1,318,240 in operating assets and liabilities increased the cash used in operating activities, primarily as a result of the start-up of the Company’s California operations in the support of inventory and accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $20,968.243, adjusted by impairment charges of $11,526,303, stock-based compensation of $4,286,647, the non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $2,984,251 and losses on the fair value changes in derivatives of $176,050. Net changes of $378,729 in operating assets and liabilities and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $195,553 reduced the cash used in operating activities.

Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the net cash used in investing activities was $116,836, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $424.431 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired $470,849 cash in an acquisition and purchased $46,418 of office furniture and equipment.

Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the net cash provided by financing activities was $11,443,533, compared to $3,168,487 for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received $15,000,000 of proceeds from the issuances of $16,610,000 face value of promissory notes and $13,100,000 (net of costs) from the Series D SPA. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired 47,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 18,667 shares of Series D Preferred Stock from Chis for $11,250,000, redeemed 5,000 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, and repaid $392,833 of notes payable and $13,634 to shareholders.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $750,000 pursuant to an obligation to pay a perpetual 1.8% (as amended) fee of revenues, $489,000 of proceeds from the issuances of convertible note financings, $1,553,000 from the issuances of promissory notes, $400,000 advance from affiliate, $100,400 from the Payroll Protection Program and $42,420 from shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid $101,864 of principal of convertible notes and notes payable and $74,470 to shareholders.

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 include the accounts of the Company and PCTI and the Company’s other wholly owned subsidiaries Ozop Energy Systems, Inc., Ozop LLC, Ozop HK and Spinus, LLC (“Spinus”), and the Company’s majority owned subsidiary Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. 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.

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, 2021, and 2020.

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, 2021, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

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

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

Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021, as described below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

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

PART III

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.

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 as a co-founder of Waypoint Capital Partners. During this time, he was responsible for 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.

Family Relationships

None

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

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

Corporate Governance

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

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

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

Code of Ethics

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

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

Director Independence

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

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

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

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

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. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years 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, 2021, and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years 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. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $217,326,611 and a working capital deficit of $28,225,908 (including derivative liabilities of $20,966,701). As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in default of $1,973,847 and accrued interest on debt instruments due to non-payment upon maturity dates, and subsequent to December 31, 2021, an additional $13,310,000 and accrued interest on debt instruments also were in default status due to non-payment upon maturity dates. 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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.
