NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Business

Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the” Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada.

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

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 and a wholly owned subsidiary of the 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.

On February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners offer the resources needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects. OED provides its customers systems to coordinate the understanding of electrical usage with the relationship between lighting design and lighting controls, by developing more efficient ecofriendly designs. We work with architects, engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors, and engineers.

On May 5, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company to 7,000,000,000 shares, of which 6,990,000,000 shall be authorized as common shares and 10,000,000 shall be authorized as preferred shares. The Company filed the Amendment with the State of Nevada on June 23, 2023.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $217,261,087 and a working capital deficit of $12,238,723 (including derivative liabilities of $5,895,175). As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in default of $3,715,000 plus accrued interest on debt instruments due to non-payment upon maturity dates. 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. 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.

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 April 4, 2022, the Company, and GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”). signed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “1^st GHS Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of up to Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock to GHS. We may sell shares of our common stock from time to time over a six (6)- month period ending October 4, 2022, at our sole discretion, to GHS under the GHS Purchase Agreement. On October 17, 2022, the Company and GHS extended the Maturity Date to April 4, 2023. The purchase price shall be 85% of lowest VWAP for the ten (10) days preceding the Company’s notice to GHS for the sale of the Company’s common stock. On April 8, 2022, the Company filed a Prospectus Supplement to the Registration Statement dated October 14, 2021, regarding the GHS Purchase Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold GHS 51,087,628 shares of common stock and received $205,443, net of offering costs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold to GHS 148,912,372 shares of common stock and received $1,141,514, net of offering costs. As of January 23, 2023, the Company sold GHS 200,000,000 shares of common stock.

On January 18, 2023, the Company and GHS signed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2^nd GHS Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of up to One Hundred Fifty Million (150,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock to GHS. The terms and conditions of the 2^nd GHS Purchase Agreement are similar to the terms and conditions of the 1^st GHS Purchase Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold to GHS 71,717,774 shares of common stock and received $392,777 net of offering costs.

On May 2, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS. Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, GHS has agreed to provide the Company with up to $10,000,000 of funding upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. Pursuant to the effectiveness of the registration statement on July 19, 2023, the Company has the right to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of our common stock based on the investment amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each put notice will not exceed two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the average of the daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put, so long as such amount does not exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase, and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s common stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the date on which the applicable put is delivered to GHS. No put will be made in an amount equaling less than $10,000 or greater than $750,000. Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier of twenty-four (24) months after the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 or the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $10,000,000 worth of put shares. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company sold to GHS 47,767,890 shares of common stock and received $240,936 net of offering costs.

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. Our utility-scale storage business model 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. On February 22, 2023, with an effective date of March 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Sublease for a Single Subleasee Agreement (the “Sublease”) with the landlord and a third party for the office and warehouse in Carlsbad California. Pursuant to the Sublease agreement, the third party will be responsible for all of the Company’s lease obligations through May 31, 2026, the lease termination date. The Company and the subleasee have agreed to work together regarding any existing Company inventory in the facility. OES currently is focused on solar panel sales to other distributors and large installation companies.

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 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-Grid^TM System comprises 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. OES has acquired the license rights to the Neo-Grid^TM System, a proprietary system (patent pending), for the capture and distribution of electrical energy for the EV market. The Neo-Grid^TM System will serve both the private auto and the commercial sectors. The exponential growth of the EV industry has been accelerated by the recent major commitments of most of the major car manufacturers. Our Neo-Grid^TM System 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-Grid^TM System for the distribution of electrical energy providing a solution to the inevitable stress to the existing grid infrastructure. The Company has completed its’ research and development of the Neo-Grid^TM System as well as compleyed the first set of engineered technical drawings. This first stage of the engineered technical drawings allows us to move forward with stage two, as well as to begin to construct the first prototype or proof of concept, (“PoC”). Our PoC design is partially reliant on auto manufacturers establishing standardizations of the actual charging/discharging protocols of the batteries such as on-board inverters as well as bi-directional capabilities in electric vehicles, which have only recently been established. As the market growth rate of EV’s continues to rise, the stress on the existing grid-tied infrastructure shows the need for the continued development of our Neo-Grid^TM System solution.

Ozop Plus markets vehicle service contracts (“VSC’s”) for electric vehicles (EV’s) that offer consumers to be able to purchase additional months and miles above the manufacturer’s warranty and to also bring added value to EV owners by utilizing our partnerships and strengths in the 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 marketed VSC’s will give “peace of mind” to the EV buyer.

On February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners offer the resources needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects. OED will provide its’ customers systems to coordinate the understanding of electrical usage with the relationship between lighting design and lighting controls, by developing more efficient ecofriendly designs by working with architects, engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors and engineers.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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 consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited 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 17, 2023.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. and the Company’s other wholly owned subsidiaries Ozop Capital Partners, Inc., Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc., Power Conversion Technologies, Inc. (“PCTI”), Ozop LLC, Ozop HK and Spinus, LLC (“Spinus”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and their accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2023:

SCHEDULES OF CONCENTRATION OF RISK, BY RISK FACTOR

 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 consist of finished goods. 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. Based on current market conditions related to solar panels including but not limited to reduced selling prices in the industry and the abundance of inventory supply in the market, management determined that the net realizable value of certain of the Company’s inventory required a lower of cost or market adjustment of $625,000 to the historical cost of inventory purchases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Finished goods inventories as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $2,328,373 and $3,601,026, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has on deposit with vendor(s) approximately $2,525,000 and has a balance due of approximately $7,820,000 for open purchase orders. The remaining balance is partially due when the vendor ships the product, with the final balance due prior to delivery.

Purchase concentration

OES purchases finished renewable energy products from its’ suppliers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there was one supplier that accounted for 100%. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, there were three suppliers that accounted for approximately 41%, 23%, and 20%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were four suppliers that accounted for approximately 38%, 16%, 15%, and 11%, 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 balances due on shipment and delivery, while other vendors’ terms are due immediately prior to delivery. We may also buy product from other distributors if we are not able to purchase direct from the manufacturer. While management believes 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

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. The Company has no outstanding contracts with any of its’ customers. The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms.

For contracts with customers, ownership of the goods and associated revenue are transferred to customers at a point in time, generally upon shipment of a product to the customer or receipt of the product by the customer and without significant judgments. Any advance payments are recorded as current liability until revenue is recognized.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022:

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE

Revenues from sourced and distributed products are purchased from suppliers as finished goods and the Company currently brings the finished goods into a third-party warehouse to fill orders as well as to build inventory for future sales orders.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded advertising and marketing expenses of $13,398 and $2,710, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded advertising and marketing expenses of $31,170 and $5,188, respectively.

Convertible Instruments

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

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

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of 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.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-10. In the period in which the component meets held-for-sale or discontinued operations criteria the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations.

On September 1, 2022, the BOD of the Company authorized the filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding which meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI are reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. For additional information, see Note 14- Discontinued Operations.

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.

Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.

Our CEO and Chairman holds sufficient shares of the Company’s voting preferred stock that give sufficient voting rights under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company such that the CEO and Chairman can at any time unilaterally vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company, without the need to call a general meeting of common shareholders of the Company.

Initial Measurement

The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity, or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.

Subsequent Measurement – Financial Instruments Classified as Liabilities

The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expenses).

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:

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 June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, for each fair value hierarchy level:

SCHEDULE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Leases

The Company accounts for leases under ASU 2016-02 (see Note 13), 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 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 income (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 June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into approximately 8,508,178,172 and 7,689,380,800, respectively, shares of common stock. The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of June 30, 2023, and 2022:

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 been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the period ended June 30, 2023, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

On July 10, 2020, PCTI (the accounting acquirer) assumed the balance of a past-due 15% convertible note issued by the Company on September 13, 2017. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of this note was $25,000.

NOTE 6 – 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 as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, at $5,895,175 and $4,314,270 respectively. For the derivative liability associated with convertible notes, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, risk free interest rates at 5.47% and 4.76%, respectively, and volatility of 74% and 71%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 375,000,000 warrants in conjunction with the extension of certain notes payable. The Company recorded a discount to notes payable of $2,550,000 with the offset to derivative liabilities for the initial fair value of the warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were utilized in the initial Black-Scholes valuation of issued warrants during the year ended December 31, 2022, risk free interest rate of 4.45%, volatility of 509%, and an exercise price of $0.0067.

The following assumptions were utilized in the Black-Scholes valuation of outstanding warrants as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, risk free interest rate of 4.74% to 5.46%, and 4.39% to 4.73%, respectively, volatility of 102% to 126%, and 109% to 272%, respectively, and exercise prices of $0.0061 to $0.15.

Legal matters

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company.

We are involved as a plaintiff in a Complaint filed in the SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO NORTH COUNTY (the “Complaint”) on November 14, 2022. The Complaint alleges that former employees would place an order from a customer for purchase of product from OZOP with funds the exact source of which is presently unknown. OZOP alleges that next, the customer would sell that product to OZOP’s customers at a price marked up from the price for which the customer purchased from OZOP – to the benefit of Defendants and to the detriment of OZOP, their employer at the time. The Complaint further alleges that the former employees falsely represented that the price the customer was obtaining from other suppliers and therefore was willing to pay for OZOP product decreased, which allowed them to use the customer to then sell additional product to OZOP’s customers at increasingly larger margins, thus further wrongfully enriching themselves to the detriment of their employer, OZOP. The lawsuit also alleges that the employees were also making false statements to Ozop’s customers regarding the financial condition of Ozop and the lack of module inventory.

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.

NOTE 13 - OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a five-year lease which began on June 1, 2021, for approximately 8,100 square feet of office and warehouse space in Carlsbad, California, expiring May 31, 2026. Initial lease payments of $13,481 begin on June 1, 2021, and increase by approximately 2.4% annually thereafter. The interest rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 7.5%, as the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. During the year ended December 31, 2021, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $702,888 for this lease. On February 22, 2023, with an effective date of March 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Sublease for a Single Subleasee Agreement (the “Sublease”) with the landlord and a third party for the office and warehouse in Carlsbad California. Pursuant to the Sublease agreement, the third party will be responsible for all of the Company’s lease obligations through May 31, 2026, the lease termination date. The Company and the subleasee have agreed to work together regarding any existing Company inventory in the facility.

In adopting Topic 842, the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less.

Right-of- use assets are summarized below:

NOTE 14 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On September 1, 2022, the BOD of the Company authorized the filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding which meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI are reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. On October 3, 2022, PCTI filed a Voluntary Petition for Non- Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy. On November 30, 2022, the Trustee filed a Notice of Abandonment of Estate Property, as it is over encumbered by the secured creditors. No objections were filed, and as such the inventory and equipment is now considered abandoned to the secured creditors to do with what they wish. In March 2023, the Trustee declared this a no-asset case and closed the bankruptcy.

The results of operations of this component, for all periods, are separately reported as “discontinued operations”. A reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes as is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 are summarized below:

SCHEDULE OF LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

There are no assets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, as the secured lender has taken possession. Liabilities of discontinued operations are separately reported as “liabilities held for disposal” as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022. All liabilities are classified as current. The following tables present the reconciliation of carrying amounts of the major classes of liabilities of the Company classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

Current liabilities

On May 16, 2022, Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) filed a Complaint for Confession of Judgment (“COJ”) against Catherine Chis (“Chis”).

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely- than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to allow for the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future income, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for realizability.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From July 1, 2023, through the filing of this report, the Company sold GHS 47,767,890 shares of common stock for proceeds of $240,936 net of offering costs. These sales were under the May 1, 2023, GHS Equity Financing Agreement.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements, except as stated herein.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

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

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

THE COMPANY

Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada.

On 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 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 August 19, 2021, the Company formed Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. (“Ozop Capital”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was formed as a holding company. On October 29, 2021, EV Insurance Company, Inc. (“EVCO”) was formed as a captive insurer that reinsures in the State of Delaware. EVCO (DBA “OZOP Plus”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ozop Capital.

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. Our utility-scale storage business model 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.

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-Grid^TM System, patent 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 installation of those EV chargers.

Modular Energy Distribution System: The Neo-Grid^TM System patent pending, consists 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. OES has acquired through a license the rights to a proprietary system, the Neo-Grids^TM System (patent pending), for the capture and distribution of electrical energy for the EV market. The Neo-Grids^TM System will serve both the private auto and the commercial sectors. 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^TM System leverages this accelerated growth by offering (1) charging locations that can be rapidly installed in restricted areas or load limits and (2) EV charger electricity that is produced from renewable sources having little to no carbon footprint.

OES has developed a business plan for the Neo Grid^TM distribution system, a solution to alleviate the stress on the existing grid-tied infrastructure. The Company has completed its’ Neo Grid^TM research and development as well as the first stage that includes the specifications and engineered technical drawings. This completion of the first stage of allows us to move forward with stage two, as well as to begin to construct the first prototype or proof of concept, (“PoC”). Our PoC design is partially reliant on auto manufacturers establishing standardizations of the actual charging/discharging protocols of the batteries such as on-board inverters as well as bi-directional capabilities in electric vehicles, which have only recently been established. As the market growth rate of EV’s continues to rise, the stress on the existing grid-tied infrastructure shows the need for the continued development of our Neo-Grid^TM System as a viable solution.

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.

Ozop Plus markets vehicle service contracts (“VSC’s”) for electric vehicles (EV’s) that offer consumers to be able to purchase additional months and miles above the manufacturer’s warranty and to also bring added value to EV owners by utilizing our partnerships and strengths in the 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 marketed VSC’s will give “peace of mind” to the EV buyer.

On February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners can offer the resources needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects. OED will provide its’ customers systems to coordinate the understanding of electrical usage with the relationship between lighting design and lighting controls, by developing more efficient ecofriendly designs by working with architects, engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors and engineers.

Discontinued Operations

On September 1, 2022, the BOD of the Company authorized the filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding which meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI are reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.

Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022:

Revenue

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company generated revenue of $1,241,326 and 4,032,524, respectively, compared to $4,765,877 and $7,685,199 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Revenues from Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. (“OES”) are classified as sourced and distributed products. Ozop Engineering and Design (“OED”) operations began in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and are classified as design and installation. Sales are summarized as follows:

Sales of sourced and distributed products (solar product) were lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The Company believes the lower revenues were due to higher interest rates affecting homeowners’ ability and desire for residential rooftop solar installations as well as competitors lowering their selling prices to try to capture a part of the lower demand. This also resulted in our customers having excess inventory on hand.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had inventory of approximately $2,328,000. As of the date of this report the Company also has outstanding purchase orders with its panel supplier of approximately $10,345,000 and has paid deposits of approximately $2,525,000 towards these open purchase orders. If the Company sells their current inventory and open purchase orders, sales of solar products can approach $15 million for 2023.

Cost of sales

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $1,733,892 and $4,128,592, respectively, of cost of sales, compared to $4,286,687 and $7,036,036 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company reviewed its inventory valuation to determine if the historical cost of its solar panels was less than their net realizable value. Management also considers, if applicable, other factors, including known trends, market conditions, and other such issues. Based on current market conditions related to solar panels including but not limited to reduced selling prices in the industry and the abundance of inventory supply in the market, management determined that the net realizable value of certain of the Company’s inventory required a lower of cost or market adjustment of $625,000 (the “Inventory Adjustment”) to the historical cost of inventory purchased. Prior to the Inventory Adjustment, gross margin was 10.7% and 13.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 10.1% and 8.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in gross margin prior to the Inventory Adjustment compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, is a result of the higher gross margins on design and installation sales related to OED, offset by lower gross margin on solar panel sales related to the product mix sold of solar panels. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in gross margin prior to the Inventory Adjustment compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, is a result of the higher gross margins on design and installation sales related to OED, and by higher gross margin on solar panel sales related to the product mix sold of solar panels.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $963,070 and $2,032,832, respectively, compared to $1,368,829 and $3,134,396 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The operating expenses were comprised of:
