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.”
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.
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 with PJN Holdings LLC, a New York limited liability company, being the minority shareholder. 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.
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 was 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 and other global military organizations. 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 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.
SCHEDULE OF RECOGNIZED IDENTIFIED ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED
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 | ) | ||
Total purchase price allocation | $ | 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 was recorded as an impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.
NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT
During the preparation of the financial statements as of March 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company discovered an error was made in the financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020. The error relates to the recognition of certain warrants as derivative liabilities due to the fact the Company has insufficient authorized shares to cover the exercises. Management believes that the error as of and for December 31, 2020, does not materially impact the balance sheet as December 31, 2020. New warrants issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, have been properly accounted for as derivatives, when necessary. The following table reflects the effect of the error on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020:
SCHEDULE OF ERROR CORRECTIONS AND PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusted December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
Total assets | $ | 2,387,933 | $ | 2,387,933 | ||||
Current liabilities | 8,227,613 | 6,885,845 | ||||||
Total liabilities | 8,737,702 | 7,395,934 | ||||||
Total stockholders’ deficit | (6,349,710 | ) | (5,007,942 | ) |
The change in the current and total liabilities is as a result of the fair value of $2,061,307 of warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation method, and an increase in notes payable of $733,364 as a result of reclassifying amounts previously recorded as discounts on notes payable, related to the warrants.

NOTE 3 – 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 September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $220,268,262 and a working capital deficit of $30,621,414 (including derivative liabilities of $26,515,186). These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
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 inventory requirements as we expand our distribution in the U.S. market. On October 14, 2021, the Company received a Notice of effectiveness related to the Company’s Form S-3 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to the Registration Statement the Company may offer and sell from time to time in one or more offerings of up to thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) in aggregate offering price. We may offer these securities in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of offering. As of the date of this Quarterly Report the Company has not sold any securities pursuant to this Registration Statement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company raised $25,100,000 (of which $11,250,000 was used to redeem Series C and Series D shares of preferred stock from Chis) and has begun to implement the following business operations, plans and strategies:
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. Sales were approximately $4.7 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
OES is actively engaged in the renewable, electric vehicle (“EV”), energy storage and energy resiliency sectors. 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.
10 |
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, patent/s 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.
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 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.
Equipment Distributor: OES has also 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. 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.
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 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2021.
The unaudited condensed 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.
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 September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Sales Concentration and credit risk
Following is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, and their accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2021:
SCHEDULES OF CONCENTRATION OF RISK, BY RISK FACTOR
Sales % Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 | Sales % Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 | Sales % Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 | Sales % Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 | Accounts receivable balance September 30, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||
Customer A | N/A | 11.2 | % | N/A | N/A | $ | - | |||||||||||||
Customer B | N/A | N/A | 29.0 | % | 59.5 | % | - | |||||||||||||
Customer C | N/A | N/A | 19.0 | % | 14.3 | % | - | |||||||||||||
Customer D | N/A | N/A | 23.0 | % | N/A | - | ||||||||||||||
Customer E | N/A | N/A | 12.1 | % | N/A | - |
All of the above are customers of PCTI. PCTI, historically does not have year to year many recurring clients as the Company produces capital equipment for its’ customers.
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 finished goods, 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.
12 |
The components of inventories at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 are as follows:
SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY
September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 229,614 | $ | 207,178 | ||||
Work in process | 163,372 | 142,526 | ||||||
Finished goods | 1,333,597 | 9,643 | ||||||
Inventory net | $ | 1,726,583 | $ | 359,347 |
Purchase concentration
The principal purchases by PCTI are comprised of parts and raw materials that PCTI assembles and manufactures and sells to its customers. There were no suppliers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of PCTI’s purchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020. Suppliers to PCTI 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. PCTI believes it is not reliant on any particular vendor for future needs.
OES purchases finished renewable energy products from its’ suppliers. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were two suppliers that accounted for 20.1% and 46.8%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the same two suppliers accounted for 23.4% and 38%, respectively. There are only a handful of major suppliers, and we currently have supply arrangements with some of those vendors. One of these vendors requires a 20% down payment with the balance due on delivery, while other vendors terms are due on delivery. We also buy product from other distributors, if we are not able to purchase direct from the manufacturer. While management believes all of its relationships with its vendors are good, if we are unable to continue to use and/or find alternative suppliers, when we cannot buy direct, it may have a material negative effect on our business.
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:
SCHEDULE OF USEFUL LIFE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ASSETS
Office furniture and equipment | 3-5 years | |
Warehouse equipment | 7 years |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, 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.
13 |
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.
The following table disaggregates our revenue by major source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021:
DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE
Three months ended September 30, 2021 | Nine months ended September 30, 2021 | |||||||
Sourced and distributed products | $ | 4,716,607 | $ | 5,971,589 | ||||
Manufactured products | 66,734 | 881,339 | ||||||
Total | $ | 4,783,341 | $ | 6,852,928 |
Revenues from sourced and distributed products are purchased from suppliers as finished goods and the Company brings the finished goods into our California warehouse to fill orders as well as to build inventory for future sales orders. From time to time for some of our larger orders we may have our suppliers ship directly to our customers to avoid extra shipping charges. For manufactured products, there is usually a bidding process by branches of the military or other large firms that need mostly battery charging and storage systems for large industrial projects. We would then purchase the raw materials and parts needed to build out the project in our Pennsylvania warehouse. There was no disaggregation of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $9,882 and $38,426, respectively, of advertising and marketing expenses, compared to a credit of $44,158 and $47,325, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Research and Development
Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not record any research and development 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.
14 |
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. |
From time to time, certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt and outstanding warrants have been treated as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes under ASC 815 due to insufficient authorized shares to fully settle conversion features of the instruments if exercised. In this case, the Company utilized the latest inception date sequencing method to reclassify outstanding instruments as derivative instruments. These contracts were recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until such time as the conditions giving rise to such derivative liability classification were settled.
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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, for each fair value hierarchy level:

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 used an incremental borrowing rate of 7.5%, for the existing lease, 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.
Segment Policy
The Company has no reportable segments as it operates in one segment; renewable energy.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into approximately 7,516,857,489 and 10,062,327,062, respectively, shares of common stock. The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of September 30, 2021, and 2020:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging —Contracts in Entity’ Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’ Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company does not believe the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than the above, there have no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the period ended September 30, 2021, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

This note matures 12 months after the Issuance Date. This note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock beginning on the Issuance Date at 55% of the lowest trading price for the twenty-five trading days prior to the conversion. If the trading price cannot be calculated for such security on such date, the trading price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the investor for which the calculation of the trading price is required in order to determine the conversion price.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company determined the conversion feature of the convertible notes, which all contain variable conversion rates, represented an embedded derivative since the notes were convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the notes are not considered to be conventional debt under ASC 815 and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability.
At any given time, certain of the Company’s embedded conversion features on debt and outstanding warrants may be treated as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes under ASC 815-40 due to insufficient authorized shares to settle these outstanding contracts. Pursuant to SEC staff guidance that permits a sequencing approach based on the use of ASC 815-15-25 which provides guidance for contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The sequencing approach may be applied in one of two ways: contracts may be evaluated based on (1) earliest issuance date or (2) latest maturity date. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon the latest maturity date.
The Company valued the derivative liabilities at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, at $26,515,186 and $3,299,684, respectively. For the derivative liability associated with convertible notes, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, risk free interest rates at 0.05% and 0.09%, respectively, and volatility of 89% and 48% to 61%, respectively. During the nine months ended, the Company issued 300,000,000 warrants in conjunction with notes payable (see Note 8). Due to insufficient authorized shares (see above), the Company recorded a discount to notes payable of $12,000,000 and interest expense of $38,907,939, with the offset to derivative liabilities for the initial fair value of the warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing method of $50,907,939. The following assumptions were utilized in the Black-Scholes valuation, risk free interest rate of .48% to .80%, volatility of 363% to 366%, and exercise prices of $0.13 to $0.15. The Company revaluated the warrants outstanding at December 31, 2020, and based on the insufficient authorized shares, the Company determined that the warrants should have been classified as a liability, The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the change from an equity classification to a liability classification (see Note 2).

Cost of sales
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $4,485,316 and $5,926,693, respectively, of cost of sales compared to $271,510 and $1,366,672, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Total | $ | 4,485,316 | $ | 271,510 | $ | 5,926,693 | $ | 1,366,672 |
Based on the above cost of sales, gross margin (loss) was 6.2% and 13.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 9.9% and 8.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The increase of gross margin for the current periods is a result of the manufactured orders shipped in the 2021 period was at a higher margin than the manufactured orders were in the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. While the improved margin was partially offset by the lower margins we recognized on the sourced and distributed products, gross profit dollars increased from the sale of sourced and distributed products. While management expects the sourced and distributed margins to rise during the remainder of 2021 and beyond, the overall margin of the Company will decrease due to significantly higher revenues that will be coming from the sourced and distributed products. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, were $1,890,619 and $12,039,394, respectively, compared to $4,830,641 and $5,151,483 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

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
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net income of $11,714,723 compared to net loss of $6,563,262 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The change was a result of the other income recognized in the current quarter as described above, partially offset by the operating results described above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the increase in the loss to $197,989,597 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily a result of an increase in other expenses of $185,038,326 as described above, and an increase of $4,348,008 in stock-based compensation expenses as well as the operating results discussed above.

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 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements filed herein.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we primarily funded our business operations with $12,000,000 of proceeds received pursuant to the issuances of promissory notes and $13,100,000 received from the Series D SPA (see Note 13). 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).
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $3,915,057 as compared to $1,808,476 at December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, we had current liabilities of $39,898,712 (including $26,515,186 of non-cash derivative liabilities), compared to current assets of $9,277,298, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $30,621,414. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $6,230,871 compared to $878,327 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $197,989,597, adjusted by loss on debt extinguishment of $95,437,589, non- cash interest expense of $47,842,575 (including $38,907,939 for the initial fair value of the 300,000,000 warrants issued), losses on the fair value changes in derivatives related to warrants and convertible notes of $25,892,783, debt restructuring costs of $16,450,000, stock-based compensation of $8,834,656 and the non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $126,634. Net changes of $2,625,212 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $878,327 compared to $36,262 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $6,862,676, adjusted by stock-based compensation of $4,286,648, the non-cash expenses of interest and amortization and depreciation of $1,447,935 and losses on the fair value changes in derivatives of $189,612. Net changes of $72,960 in operating assets and liabilities reduced the cash used in operating activities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company acquired 47,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 18,667 shares of Series D Preferred Stock from Chis or $11,250,000, redeemed 5,000 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock for $5,000,000, and repaid $389,147 of notes payable and $13,634 to shareholders.

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.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in more details in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe the following accounting policies to be most critical to the judgement and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 15, 2021. The unaudited condensed 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.
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 three and nine months ended September 30, 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons discussed below.
38 |
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. | |
2. | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for cash, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signatures on the Company’s bank accounts. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
39 |
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.
