PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED JANUARY___, 2024
The
information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities
and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
OZOP
ENERGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
1,000,000,000
Common Shares
The
selling stockholder identified in this prospectus may offer an indeterminate number of shares of its common stock, which will consist
of up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) pursuant to an Equity Financing Agreement
(the “Financing Agreement”) dated May 2, 2023. If issued presently, the 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock registered for
resale by GHS would represent 15.43% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of January 5, 2024.
The
selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing
market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by GHS. However, we will receive proceeds from our initial
sale of shares to GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement. We will sell shares to GHS at a price equal to 80% of the lowest daily volume
weighted average trading price (the “VWAP”) of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period preceding
the date on which we deliver a put notice to GHS (the “Market Price”).
GHS
is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales.
In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933.
Our
common stock is traded on OTC Markets under the symbol “OZSC”. On January 8, 2024, the last reported sale price for our common
stock was $0.0018 per share.
Prior
to this offering, there has been a limited market for our securities. While our common stock is on the OTC Markets, there has been negligible
trading volume. There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop in our securities.
This
offering is highly speculative, and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford
the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission
nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus.

Corporate
Background
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 to “Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.”
Ozop
Energy Systems Overview
On
December 11, 2020, the Company formed Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. (“OES”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. OES was formed to be a manufacturer and distributor of renewable energy products.
OES
is actively engaged in the renewable, electric vehicle (“EV”), energy storage and energy resiliency sectors. On April 15,
2021, OES signed a five-year lease beginning June 1, 2021, for approximately 8,100 SF in California. We are engaged in multiple business
lines that include Project Development as well as Equipment Distribution. Our solar and energy storage projects involve large-scale battery
and solar photovoltaics (PV) installations. The utility-scale storage business is based on an arbitrage business model in which we install
multiple 1+ megawatt batteries, charge them with off-peak grid electricity under contract with the utility, then sell the power back
during peak load hours at a premium, as dictated by prevailing electricity tariffs.
Solar
PV: Our PV business model involves the design and construction of electrical generating PV systems that can resell power to the
utilities or be used for off grid use as part of our developing Neo-Grids solution. The Neo-Grids proprietary program, patent pending,
was developed for the off-grid distribution of electricity to reduce the rates, fees and charges currently burdening the EV Charging
and residential carport sectors. It will also reduce the lengthy permitting processes and streamline the installations.
Electric
Vehicle Chargers: The Neo-Grids, patent pending, is comprised of the design, engineering, installation, and operational methodologies
as well as the financial arbitrage of how we produce, capture and distribute electrical energy for the EV markets. Neo-Grids will serve
both the private auto and the commercial sectors. OES has license rights to the proprietary “flow” that was filed with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office in March 2021. The exponential growth of the EV industry has been accelerated by the recent
major commitments of most of the major car manufacturers. Our Neo-Grids business model leverages this accelerated growth by offering
(1) charging locations that can be installed at a significant discount to utility-tied installations and (2) EV charger electricity that
is both renewable and less expensive than comparable grid supplied power as offered by local suppliers.
OES
has developed a business plan for the Neo Grids distribution solution that is being executed now and will be coming out of Research 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 entered the component supply/distribution side of the renewable, resiliency and energy storage industries
distributing the core components associated with commercial solar PV systems as well as onsite battery storage and power generation.
The components we are distributing include PV panels, solar inverters, solar mounting systems, stationary batteries, onsite generators
and other associated electrical equipment and components that are all manufactured by multiple companies, both domestic and international.
These core products are sourced from management-developed relationships and are distributed through our existing network and our in-house
sales team.
OES
management has decades of experience in the renewable, storage and resilient energy businesses and associated markets, which include
but are not limited to project finance, project development, equipment finance, construction, utility protocol, regulatory policy and
technology assessment.

RISK
FACTORS
This
investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and
the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial
condition could be harmed, and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.
Special
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some
of the statements in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve certain known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include,
among others, the factors set forth herein under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly
announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments.
However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non- reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D)
of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking
statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
Readers
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below.
Our
failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their
investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.
As
an enterprise engaged in the development of new technology, our business is inherently risky. Our common shares are considered speculative
during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors set out below.
Business
interruptions, including any interruptions resulting from COVID-19, could significantly disrupt our operations and could have a material
adverse impact on us if the situation continues.
The
ongoing coronavirus outbreak which began in China at the beginning of 2020 has impacted various businesses throughout the world, including
travel restrictions and the extended shutdown of certain businesses in impacted geographic regions. If the coronavirus outbreak situation
should worsen, we may experience disruptions to our business including, but not limited to equipment, to our workforce, or to our business
relationships with other third parties.
The
extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which
are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge
concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Any such disruptions
or losses we incur could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and our ability to conduct business as expected.
The
Company always maintains the ability for team members to work virtually.
We
need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm reports on our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, and
2021, indicate that there are a number of factors that raise substantial risks about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such
factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations, the excess
of liabilities over assets, and our dependence upon obtaining adequate additional financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able
to continue as a going concern, investors could lose their investments.
Because
of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, we face a risk of business failure.
Potential
investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by companies developing new technology and the high rate of failure
of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and
delays encountered in connection with the development of new technology with limited personnel and financial means. These potential problems
include, but are not limited to, unanticipated technical problems that extend the time and cost of product development, or unanticipated
problems with the operation of our technology.
Product
development involves significant time and expense and can be uncertain.
The
development of technology and products for OES is costly, complex and time-consuming. Any investment into product development often involves
a long wait until a return, if any, is achieved on such investment. We continue to make significant investments in research and development
relating to our technology and products. Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative.
If
we do not obtain additional financing or sufficient revenues, our business will fail.
Our
business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with developing our OES systems and paying our current obligations. The Company
will require additional financing to execute its business plan through raising additional capital and/or revenue. Obtaining additional
financing is subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of OES technology and current financial condition as well
as general market conditions. These factors affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
And if additional financing is not arranged, the Company faces the risk of going out of business. The Company’s management is currently
engaged in actively pursuing multiple financing options in order to obtain the capital necessary to execute the Company’s business
plan. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood we will prove successful, and we can provide investors
with no assurance that we will achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most
likely fail.
Successful
technical development of our products does not guarantee successful commercialization.
We
may successfully complete the technical development for one or all of our product development programs, but still fail to develop a commercially
successful product for a number of reasons, including among others the following:
● |
competing
products; |
● |
ineffective
distribution and marketing; |
● |
lack
of sufficient cooperation from our partners; and |
● |
demonstrations
of the products not aligning with or meeting customer needs. |
Our
success in the market for the products we develop will depend largely on our ability to prove our products’ capabilities. Upon
demonstration, our products and/or technology may not have the capabilities they were designed to have or that we believed they would
have. Furthermore, even if we do successfully demonstrate our products’ capabilities, potential customers may be more comfortable
doing business with a larger, more established, more proven company than us. Moreover, competing products may prevent us from gaining
wide market acceptance of our products. Significant revenue from new product investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if
at all.
If
we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose our ability to compete in the market.
Our
intellectual property and proprietary rights are important to our ability to remain competitive and for the success of our products and
our business. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality agreements and procedures,
non-compete agreements and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property, other proprietary rights and our brand.
We have confidentiality agreements in place with our consultants, customers and certain business suppliers and plan to require future
employees to enter into confidentiality and non-compete agreements. We have little protection when we must rely on trade secrets and
nondisclosure agreements. Our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. We may not
be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or other trade secrets by employees or competitors.
Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop technologies and products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our
technologies and/or products, which could result in decreased revenues. Moreover, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual
property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights which
could result in substantial costs to us and substantial diversion of management attention. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual
property, our competitors could use it to enhance their products. Our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights
could adversely affect our business and financial condition, and the value of our brand and other intangible assets.
Other
companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, which could materially increase our costs and harm our ability to generate
future revenue and profit.
We
do not believe that we infringe the proprietary rights of any third party, but claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common
and third parties may assert infringement claims against us. It may be difficult or impossible to identify, prior to receipt of notice
from a third party, the trade secrets, patent position or other intellectual property rights of a third party, either in the United States
or in foreign jurisdictions. Any such assertion may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property
rights of third parties. If we are required to obtain licenses to use any third party technology, we would have to pay royalties, which
may significantly reduce any profit on our products. In addition, any such litigation could be expensive and disruptive to our ability
to generate revenue or enter into new market opportunities. If any of our products were found to infringe other parties’ proprietary
rights and we are unable to come to terms regarding a license with such parties, we may be forced to modify our products to make them
non-infringing or to cease production of such products altogether.
The
nature of our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity.
We
develop and sell products where insurance or indemnification may not be available, including designing and developing products using
advanced and unproven technologies in solar and electric vehicle charging applications that are intended to operate in a variety of situations.
Failure of certain of our products could result in loss of life or property damage. Certain products may raise questions with respect
to issues of privacy rights, civil liberties, intellectual property, trespass, conversion and similar concepts, which may raise new legal
issues. Indemnification to cover potential claims or liabilities resulting from a failure of technologies developed or deployed may be
available in certain circumstances but not in others. We are not able to maintain insurance to protect against all operational risks
and uncertainties. Substantial claims resulting from an accident, failure of our product, or liability arising from our products in excess
of any indemnity or insurance coverage (or for which indemnity or insurance is not available or was not obtained) could harm our financial
condition, cash flows, and operating results. Any accident, even if fully covered or insured, could negatively affect our reputation
among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively.
If
we are unable to recruit and retain key management, technical and sales personnel, our business would be negatively affected.
For
our business to be successful, we need to attract and retain highly qualified technical, management and sales personnel. The failure
to recruit additional key personnel when needed with specific qualifications and on acceptable terms or to retain good relationships
with our partners might impede our ability to continue to develop, commercialize and sell our products. To the extent the demand for
skilled personnel exceeds supply, we could experience higher labor, recruiting and training costs in order to attract and retain such
employees. We face competition for qualified personnel from other companies with significantly more resources available to them and thus
may not be able to attract the level of personnel needed for our business to succeed.
The
reduction, elimination, or expiration of government subsidies, economic incentives, tax incentives, renewable energy targets, and other
support for on-grid solar electricity applications, or other public policies, such as tariffs or other trade remedies imposed on solar
cells and modules, could negatively impact demand and/or price levels for our solar modules and systems and limit our growth or lead
to a reduction in our net sales or increase our costs, thereby adversely impacting our operating results.
Although
we believe that solar energy will experience widespread adoption in those applications where it competes economically with traditional
forms of energy without any support programs, in certain markets our net sales and profits remain subject to variability based on the
availability and size of government subsidies and economic incentives. Federal, state, and local governmental bodies in many states have
provided subsidies in the form of rebates, tax incentives, and other incentives to end users. Many of these support programs expire,
phase out over time, require renewal by the applicable authority, or may be amended. To the extent these support programs are reduced
earlier than previously expected or are changed retroactively, such changes could negatively impact demand and/or price levels for our
solar modules and systems, lead to a reduction in our net sales, and adversely impact our operating results.
Several
of our key products are either single-sourced or sourced from a limited number of suppliers, and their failure to perform could cause
delays and impair our ability to deliver solar modules to customers in the required quality and quantities and at a price that is profitable
to us.
Our
failure to obtain products that meet our quality, quantity, and cost requirements in a timely manner could interrupt or impair our ability
to sell our solar modules or increase our product costs. Several of our key products are either single-sourced or sourced from a limited
number of suppliers. As a result, the failure of any of our suppliers to perform could disrupt our supply chain and adversely impact
our operations.
We
may be unable to profitably provide new product offerings or achieve sufficient market penetration with such offerings.
We
may expand our portfolio of offerings to include solutions that build upon our core competencies but for which we have not had significant
historical experience, including variations in our traditional product offerings or other offerings related to commercial and industrial
customers. We cannot be certain that we will be able to ascertain and allocate the appropriate financial and human resources necessary
to grow these business areas. We could invest capital into growing these businesses but fail to address market or customer needs or otherwise
not experience a satisfactory level of financial return. Also, in expanding into these areas, we may be competing against companies that
previously have not been significant competitors, such as companies that currently have substantially more experience than we do in the
residential, commercial and industrial, or other targeted offerings. If we are unable to achieve growth in these areas, our overall growth
and financial performance may be limited relative to our competitors and our operating results could be adversely impacted.
Material
weaknesses in our internal control over financing reporting may, until remedied, cause errors in our financial statements or cause our
filings with the SEC to not be timely.
The
Company believes that material weaknesses exist in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, including those
related to (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. If our internal control
over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, there may be errors in our financial statements that
could require a restatement or our filings may not be timely made with the SEC. We intend to implement additional corporate governance
and control measures to strengthen our control environment as we are able, but we may not achieve our desired objectives. Moreover, no
control environment, no matter how well designed and operated, can prevent or detect all errors or fraud. We may identify material weaknesses
and control deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future that may require remediation and could lead investors
losing confidence in our reported financial information, which could lead to a decline in our stock price.
We
cannot guarantee continued sales of our products or services.
We
cannot provide any assurance that our products and services will sell or continue to sell at rates they have historically. Our products
and services may become less attractive compared to competing products and services, and our business would be harmed.
We
may be unable to effectively implement our business model and expand.
Our
business model and growth and marketing strategy is predicated on its ability to introduce our products and services to the market. We
cannot assure that we will be able to execute our business plan, introducing our products and services into new markets, that customers
will embrace our products compared to competing products and services already well established in those markets, that any of the target
markets will adopt our products and services, or that prospective customers will agree to pay the prices for our products and services
in those new markets we plan to charge. In the event prospective customers resist our products and services and paying the prices we
will charge, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
We
may incur significant debt to finance our operations.
There
is no assurance that the Company will not incur debt in the future, that it will have sufficient funds to repay its indebtedness, or
that the Company will not default on its debt, jeopardizing its business viability. Furthermore, the Company may not be able to borrow
or raise additional capital in the future to meet the Company’s needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct
its business.
The
Company has not established consistent methods for determining the consideration paid to management.
The
consideration being paid by the Company to its CEO, Mr. Conway, has not been determined based on arm’s length negotiation. While
management believes that Mr. Conway’s current compensation arrangement is fair for the work being performed, there is no assurance
that the consideration to management reflects the true market value of his services. Additionally, in the future, the Company may grant
net profits interests to its executive officers in addition to stock options, which may further dilute shareholders’ ownership
of the Company.
There
is no guarantee that the Company will pay dividends to its shareholders.
The
Company does not anticipate declaring and paying dividends to its shareholders in the near future. It is the Company’s current
intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing its capital base and marketing. Prospective investors
seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should therefore not purchase the Shares. There can be no assurance that the Company
will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, and in any event,
a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Management
cannot guarantee that its relationship with the Company does not create conflicts of interest.
The
relationship of management and its affiliates to the Company could create conflicts of interest. While management has a fiduciary duty
to the Company, it also determines its compensation from the Company. Management’s compensation from the Company has not been determined
pursuant to arm’s-length negotiation.
The
Company may sustain losses that cannot be recovered through insurance or other preventative measures.
There
is no assurance that the Company will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of its business. The Company
plans to maintain comprehensive liability and property insurance at customary levels. The Company will also evaluate the availability
and cost of business interruption insurance. However, should uninsured losses occur, the Shareholders could lose their invested capital.
We
may be subject to liabilities that are not readily identifiable at this time.
The
Company may have liabilities to affiliated or unaffiliated lenders. These liabilities would represent fixed costs we would be required
to be pay, regardless of the level of business or profitability experienced by the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will
be able to pay all of its liabilities. Furthermore, the Company is always subject to the risk of litigation from customers, suppliers,
employees, and others. Litigation can cause the Company to incur substantial expenses and, if cases are lost, judgments, and awards can
add to the Company’s costs.
In
the course of business, the Company may incur expenses beyond what was anticipated.
Unanticipated
costs may force the Company to obtain additional capital or financing from other sources or may cause the Company to lose its entire
investment in the Company if it is unable to obtain the additional funds necessary to implement its business plan. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital to implement its business plan successfully. If a greater investment is required
in the business because of cost overruns, the probability of earning a profit or a return of shareholder investment in the Company is
diminished.
The
Company will rely on management to execute the business plan and manage the Company’s affairs.
Under
applicable state corporate law and the Bylaws of the Company, the officers and directors of the Company have the power and authority
to manage all aspects of the Company’s business. Shareholders must be willing to entrust all aspects of the Company’s business
to its directors and executive officers.
There
is no assurance the Company will always have adequate capital to conduct its business.
The
Company will have limited capital available to it. If the Company’s entire original capital is fully expended and additional costs
cannot be funded from borrowings or capital from other sources, then the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and
business performance would be materially adversely affected.
The
Company is required to indemnify its directors and officers.
The
Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.
If the Company were called upon to indemnify an officer or director, then the portion of its assets expended for such a purpose would
reduce the amount otherwise available for the Company’s business.
We
may encounter difficulties managing any growth, and if we are unable to do so, our business, financial condition and results of operations
may be adversely affected.
If
we are able to successfully launch our apps and websites, as our operations grow, the simultaneous management of development, production
and commercialization across our target markets will become increasingly complex and may result in less than optimal allocation of management
and other administrative resources, increase our operating expenses and harm our operating results.
Our
ability to effectively manage our operations, growth and various projects across our target markets will require us to make additional
investments in our infrastructure to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems
and procedures and to attract and retain sufficient numbers of talented employees, which we may be unable to do effectively. We may be
unable to successfully manage our expenses in the future, which may negatively impact our gross margins or operating margins in any particular
quarter.
Risks
Related to Our Intellectual Property
We
may become involved in intellectual property disputes, which may disrupt our business and require us to pay significant damage awards.
Third
parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement, which, if successful, could disrupt our business, cause us to pay significant
damage awards or require us to pay licensing fees. We may also be required to pay penalties, judgments, royalties or significant settlement
costs. If we fail or are unable to develop non-infringing technology our business could suffer.
Third
parties may misappropriate our proprietary technologies, information, or trade secrets despite a contractual obligation not to do so.
Third
parties (including joint venture, collaboration, development partners, contract manufacturers, and other contractors and shipping agents)
may have custody or control of any proprietary processes and technologies developed by us. If proprietary technologies developed by us
were stolen or misappropriated, they could be used by other parties who may be able to use the technologies for their own commercial
gain. In the event that any proprietary technologies are developed and then misappropriated, it could be difficult for us to challenge
the misappropriation or prevent reverse engineering, especially in countries with limited legal and intellectual property protection.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
An
investment in our securities is extremely speculative, and there can be no assurance of any return on the investment.
An
investment in our securities is extremely speculative, and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment.
Investors will be subject to substantial risks, including the risk of losing their entire investment in our securities. For example,
the market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results,
general trends in the market and other factors, many of which we have little or no control over. In addition, broad market fluctuations,
as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our
actual or projected performance.
Because
the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” we may take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to us, resulting
in holders of our securities receiving less Company information than they would receive from a public company that is not a smaller reporting
company.
We
are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of
certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures
for so long as (i) our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business
day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year
and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our
second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make it harder for investors to
analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospectus in comparison with other public companies.
To
fund its operations, the Company may conduct further offerings in the future, in which case our common stock will be diluted.
To
fund its business operations, the Company anticipates continuing to rely on sales of its securities, which may include common stock,
preferred stock, convertible debt and/or warrants convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock. Common stock may be issued
in return for additional funds or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible debentures or warrants. If additional common
stock is issued, the price per share of the common stock could be lower than the price paid by existing holders of common stock, and
the percentage interest in the Company of those shareholders will be lower. This result is referred to as “dilution,” which
could result in a reduction in the per share value of your shares of common stock. The Company’s failure or inability to raise
capital when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company and our shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations and would also have a negative adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
The
Company may utilize debt financing to fund its operations.
If
the Company undertakes debt financing to fund its operations, the financing may involve significant restrictive covenants. In addition,
there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. The Company’s
failure or inability to obtain financing when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company and our shareholders could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and would also have a negative adverse
effect on the price of our common stock.
The
trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Volatility
in the trading price of shares of our common stock may prevent shareholders from being able to sell shares of common stock at prices
equal to or greater than their purchase price. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons,
including:
● |
our
operating and financial performance and prospects; |
● |
our
quarterly or annual earning or those of other companies in the same industry; |
● |
sales
of our common stock by management of the Company; |
● |
public
reaction to our press releases, public announcements and filing with the SEC; |
● |
changes
in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company’s common stock or the stock of other companies
in the same industry; |
● |
strategic
actions by us or our competitors; |
● |
new
laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; |
● |
changes
in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; and |
● |
changes
in general economic conditions in the U.S. and in global economies and financial markets, including changes resulting from war or
terrorist incidents. |
In
addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a substantial
impact on the trading price of securities issued by many companies. The changes frequently occur irrespective of the operating performance
of the affected companies. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or
nothing to do with our business.
Because
we are a small company with a limited operating history, holders of common stock may find it difficult to sell their stock in the public
markets.
The
number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at any given time may be relatively small. This situation is attributable
to a number of factors. One factor is that we are a small company that is still relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume. Another factor is that, even
if the Company came to the attention of these persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would likely be reluctant to follow an unproven
company such as ours. Furthermore, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities, including our common
stock. As a consequence, there may be periods when trading activity in our common stock is minimal or even non-existent, as compared
to trading activity in the securities of a seasoned issuer with a large and steady volume of trading activity. We cannot give you any
assurance that an active public trading market for our common stock or other securities will develop or be sustained, or that, if developed,
the trading levels will be sustained.
FINRA
sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable
grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Before recommending speculative
low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the
customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA
believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The
FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit
your ability to buy and sell shares of common stock and may have an adverse effect on the market for our securities.
The
Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the future.
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings to reinvest in our business.
Therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company’s dividend policy will be reviewed
from time to time by the Board of Directors in the context of its earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. Until the
Company pays dividends, which it may never do, the holders of shares of common stock will not receive a return on those shares unless
they are able to sell those shares at the desired price, if at all, of which there can be no assurance. In addition, there is no guarantee
that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which holders purchased their common stock.
We
will continue to incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements.
We
will continue to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, including costs associated with applicable
corporate governance requirements such as those required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and with other rules issued or implemented
by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations will result in significant legal and financial compliance costs and
to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these
rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
We
may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share
value.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 6,990,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 5,481,513,400
shares are issued and outstanding as of January 5, 2024. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the
percentage of our common stock held by our then-existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary
basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the
value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
Our
common shares are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our securities will likely be
limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes
relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
|
● |
That
a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
|
● |
The
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quality of the
penny stock to be purchased. |
In
order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
|
● |
Obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
|
● |
Make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating
to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
|
● |
Sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
|
● |
That
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more
difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies
available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
There
is a very limited market for our securities. While our common stock is on the OTC Markets, there has been negligible trading volume.
There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop in our securities and if a trading market does not develop, purchasers
of our securities may have difficulty selling their shares.
There
is currently no established public trading market for our securities, and an active trading market in our securities may not develop,
or, if developed, may not be sustained. Accordingly, investors may have a difficult time selling their shares.
Our
common stock is quoted through the OTC Markets, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.
The
Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange
or NASDAQ. The trading volume may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, follow
a policy of not investing in OTC Markets stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Markets
stocks because they are considered speculative and volatile.
The
trading volume of the Company’s common stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic. As a result, the quoted price
for the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value.
Additionally,
the securities of small capitalization companies may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established
companies. The market for small capitalization companies is generally volatile, with wide price fluctuations not necessarily related
to the operating performance of such companies.
Trading
on the OTC Markets may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our
stockholders to resell their shares.
Our
common stock is quoted on OTC Markets. Trading in stock quoted on OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in
trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress
the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and
trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ
or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.
State
securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares
offered by this prospectus.
Secondary
trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the
applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities
manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for
the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by,
a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the
liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
We
may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.
Because
our CEO and director, Mr. Conway, owns a majority of the voting control of the Company, he could authorize our Board of Directors to
determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors
could then authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation,
the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such
preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue shares of preferred
stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests
in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal
of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as a holder of common stock.
We
may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock.
We
may finance our operations and develop strategic relationships by issuing equity or debt securities, which could significantly reduce
the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges
senior to those of our existing stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price
of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our stock
to decline.
There
may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls,
we may be subject to sanctions by the SEC.
We
are exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate internal controls under Section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. As a smaller reporting company and emerging growth company, we will not be required to provide a report on the effectiveness
of our internal controls over financial reporting until our second annual report, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation
requirements concerning any such report so long as we are an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company. We have not yet
evaluated whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in
our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations. If we are not able
to meet the requirements of Section 404a in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation
by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC.
We
are susceptible to general economic conditions, natural catastrophic events and public health crises, and a potential downturn in advertising
and marketing spending by advertisers could adversely affect our operating results in the near future.
Our
business is subject to the impact of natural catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, or floods, public health crisis, such as disease
outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics, and all these could result in a decrease or sharp downturn of economies, including our markets and
business locations in the current and future periods. The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in increased travel restrictions,
and shutdown of businesses, which may cause slower recovery of the economy. We may experience impact from quarantines, market downturns
and changes in customer behavior related to pandemic fears and impact on our workforce if the virus continues to spread. In addition,
one or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delayed or defaults on payment,
file for bankruptcy protection, sharp diminishing of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. The extent
to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments and reactions throughout the world, which are highly
uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private
businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus. It is likely to result in a potential material adverse impact on our business, results
of operations and financial condition. Wider-spread COVID-19 globally could prolong the deterioration in economic conditions and could
cause decreases in or delays in advertising spending and reduce and/or negatively impact our short-term ability to grow our revenues.
Any decreased collectability of accounts receivable, bankruptcy of small and medium businesses, or early termination of agreements due
to deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact our results of operations.
We
are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from
certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.
Because
our sole officer, Mr. Conway, owns a majority of voting control of the Company and will own a majority of the voting control after this
offering, we are and will continue to be after the offering a “controlled company” as defined under the listing rules of
Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq listing rules, controlled companies are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of
directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. For as long as we remain a controlled company, we are permitted to elect
to rely on certain exemptions from Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, including the following:
|
● |
an
exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors; |
|
● |
an
exemption from the rule that our compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors; |
|
● |
an
exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent; |
|
● |
directors
or a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors; |
If
we elected to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not
be independent directors, our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent
directors, and you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to Nasdaq’s corporate
governance rules.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE OFFERING
Our
existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement.
The
sale of our common stock to GHS Investments LLC in accordance with the Financing Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders.
As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our
put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to GHS in order to exercise a put under the Financing Agreement.
If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through
the offering.
The
perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock.
Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in
short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further
contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
The
issuance of shares pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.
Depending
on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing
shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Financing Agreement will vary based on our stock price
(the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on
different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Financing Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon common stock
put to GHS and the stock price discounted to GHS’s purchase price of 80% of the lowest VWAP during the pricing period.
GHS
Investments LLC will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock
to decline.
Our
common stock to be issued under the GHS Financing Agreement will be purchased at a twenty percent (20%) discount, or eighty percent (80%)
of the lowest VWAP during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding our notice to GHS of our election to exercise our
“put” right.
GHS
has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the
market price. If GHS sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, GHS may have further
incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Financing Agreement may cause the price of our common stock
to decline.
We
may not have access to the full amount under the Financing Agreement.
On
January 8, 2024, the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period was approximately
$0.0017. At that price we would be able to sell shares to GHS under the Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.00136. At that
discounted price, the 1,000,000,000 shares registered for issuance to GHS under the Financing Agreement would, if sold by us to GHS,
result in aggregate proceeds of $1,360,000. There is no assurance the price of our common stock will remain the same as the market price
or increase.
Since
our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your
shares at or above the price paid.
Since
our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response
to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):
|
● |
the
trading volume of our shares; |
|
● |
the
number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; |
|
● |
new
products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors; |
|
● |
actual
or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; |
|
● |
conditions
or trends in our business industries; |
|
● |
announcements
by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
|
● |
additions
or departures of key personnel; |
|
● |
sales
of our common stock; and |
|
● |
general
stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies. |
Investors
may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market
value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual
companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may
cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history
of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there
is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial
legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as
noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Link (OTC Pink tier) and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations.
Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and
option traders.
Item
4. USE OF PROCEEDS
The
Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions of assets,
businesses or operations or for other purposes that the Board of Directors, in good faith, deem to be in the best interest of the Company.
Item
5. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We
have not set an offering price for the shares registered hereunder, as the only shares being registered are those sold pursuant to the
GHS Financing Agreement. GHS may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing
market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices.
Item
6. DILUTION
Not
applicable. The shares registered under this registration statement are not being offered for purchase. The shares are being registered
on behalf of our selling shareholders pursuant to the GHS Financing Agreement.
Item
7. SELLING SECURITY HOLDER
The
selling stockholder identified in this prospectus may offer and sell up to 1,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, which consists of
shares of common stock to be sold by GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement. If issued presently, the shares of common stock registered
for resale by GHS would represent 15.43% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of January 5, 2024.
We
may require the selling stockholder to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus
upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material
respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.
The
selling stockholder identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares
of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered” in the table below.
GHS
will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by such selling stockholder may be
deemed to be underwriting commissions.
Information
concerning the selling stockholder may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly.
We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling stockholder upon termination
of this offering, because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of the common stock under the offering contemplated by this
prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock. The total number of shares that may be sold, hereunder, will not exceed the
number of shares offered, hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
The
manner in which the selling stockholder acquired or will acquire shares of our common stock is discussed below under “The Offering.”
The
following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such
stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholder’s account and the number and (if one
percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The number
of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative
of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which
a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire
within 60 days, through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic
termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed
to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants
or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership percentages are
calculated based on 5,481,513,400 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 5, 2024.

Notes:
(1) |
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and generally includes voting or investment power
with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible debentures currently
exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are counted as outstanding. The actual number of shares
of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors,
the future market price of our common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. |
(2) |
Because
the selling stockholders may offer and sell all or only some portion of the 1,000,000,000 shares of our common stock being offered
pursuant to this prospectus and may acquire additional shares of our common stock in the future, we can only estimate the number
and percentage of shares of our common stock that any of the selling stockholders will hold upon termination of the offering. |

Mark
Grober exercises voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of our common stock that are beneficially owned by GHS Investments
LLC. |

Consists
of up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by GHS pursuant to the Financing Agreement. |
THE
OFFERING
On
May 2, 2023, we entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”).
Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Financing Agreement, the Financing Agreement gives us the option to sell to GHS,
up to $10,000,000 worth of our common stock over the period ending twenty-four (24) months after the date this Registration Statement
is deemed effective. The $10,000,000 was stated as the total amount of available funding in the Financing Agreement because this was
the maximum amount that GHS agreed to offer us in funding. There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in
the future. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access
the full amount contemplated under the Financing Agreement. If the bid/ask spread remains the same, we will not be able to place a put
for the full commitment under the Financing Agreement. Based on the lowest VWAP of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading
day period preceding January 8, 2024 of approximately $0.0017, the registration statement covers the offer and possible sale of $1,360,000
worth of our shares.
The
purchase price of the common stock will be set at eighty percent (80%) of the lowest average daily volume weighted average trading price
of the common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers a
put notice to GHS. In addition, there is an ownership limit for GHS of 4.99%.
GHS
is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our common stock during the term of the commitment period. In accordance with Regulation
SHO, however, sales of our common stock by GHS after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased
by GHS under a put will not be deemed a short sale.
In
addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. GHS is not required to purchase the put shares
unless:
|
● |
Our
registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall
have been declared effective; |
|
● |
we
shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable
securities; and |
|
● |
we
shall have filed all requisite reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely manner. |
As
we draw down on the equity line of credit, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by GHS. The sale of these shares could
cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more puts, more shares will come into the market,
which could cause a further drop in our stock price. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price
of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. If our stock price declines, we will be required
to issue a greater number of shares under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under
the equity line of credit.
Neither
the Financing Agreement nor any of our rights or GHS’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.
Item
8. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each
of the selling stockholders named above and any of their pledgees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all
of their shares of common stock on OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common
stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at
varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
● |
privately
negotiated transactions; |
|
● |
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
● |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or |
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in
amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess
of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown
in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
GHS
is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales.
In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. GHS has informed us that it does not have
any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock of our company.
Pursuant to a requirement by FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer
may not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder.
The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales
of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act of 1933.
We
are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus. We
have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling
stockholders. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Financing Agreement with GHS. Neither the
Financing Agreement with GHS nor any rights of the parties under the Financing Agreement with GHS may be assigned or delegated to any
other person.
We
have entered into an agreement with GHS to keep this prospectus effective until GHS has sold all of the common shares purchased by it
under the Financing Agreement and has no right to acquire any additional shares of common stock under the Financing Agreement.
The
resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.
In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares
may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined
in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus
available to the selling stockholders.
Item
9. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
General
We
are authorized to issue 6,990,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of which 5,481,513,400 shares are issued and outstanding
as of January 5, 2024. Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters
submitted to the vote of stockholders, including the election of Directors. The holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive,
conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights. There is no provision in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that would delay,
defer, or prevent a change in control of our Company.
Dividends
We
have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board
of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions,
and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest
earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Warrants
and Options
Currently,
there are no warrants or options outstanding; nor are there any other equity or debt securities convertible into common stock other than
disclosed in the “Convertible Note” paragraph above.
Nevada
Anti-Takeover Laws
As
a Nevada corporation, we are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under Nevada law. Pursuant
to Section 607.0901 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act, or the Nevada Act, a publicly held Nevada corporation may not engage in a
broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder without the approval
of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder), unless:
|
● |
the
transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder; |
|
● |
the
interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding
the announcement date of any such business combination; |
|
● |
the
interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of
shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or |
|
● |
the
consideration paid to the holders of the corporation’s voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria. |
An
interested shareholder is defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns more than 10% of a corporation’s
outstanding voting shares. We have not made an election in our amended Articles of Incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.
In
addition, we are subject to Section 607.0902 of the Nevada Act which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Nevada corporation
that are acquired in a control share acquisition unless (i) our board of directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation
or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by our board of directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation’s
voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting
of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A control share acquisition is defined as an acquisition
that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.
Penny
Stock Considerations
Our
shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements
on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling
a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and
must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.
In
addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:
|
● |
Deliver,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating
to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt; |
|
● |
Disclose
commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities; |
|
● |
Send
monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s
value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and |
|
● |
Make
a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s
written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account. |
Because
of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect
the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market, and have the effect of reducing the
level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale
of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding
decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders
will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Business
Overview
Ozop
Energy Systems
OES
was formed to be a distributor of renewable energy products and is actively engaged in the renewable, electric vehicle (“EV”),
energy storage and energy resiliency sectors. OES management has decades of experience in the renewable, storage and resilient energy
businesses and associated markets, which include but are not limited to project finance, project development, equipment finance, construction,
utility protocol, regulatory policy and technology assessment.
We
are engaged in multiple business lines that include Project Development as well as Equipment Distribution. Our solar and energy storage
projects involve large-scale battery and solar photovoltaics (PV) installations. The utility-scale storage business is based on an arbitrage
business model in which we install multiple 1+ megawatt batteries, charge them with off-peak grid electricity under contract with the
utility, then sell the power back during peak load hours at a premium, as dictated by prevailing electricity tariffs.
Equipment
Distributor: OES has entered the component supply/distribution side of the renewable, resiliency and energy storage industries
distributing the core components associated with residential and commercial solar PV systems as well as onsite battery storage and power
generation. In April 2021, the Company signed a five- year lease (beginning June 1, 2021) of approximately 8,100 SF in California, for
office and warehouse space to support the sales and distribution of our west coast operations. The components we are distributing include
PV panels, solar inverters, solar mounting systems, stationary batteries, onsite generators and other associated electrical equipment
and components that are all manufactured by multiple companies, both domestic and international. These core products are sourced from
management-developed relationships and are distributed through our existing network and our in-house sales team.
Solar
PV: Our PV business model involves the design and construction of electrical generating PV systems that can sell power to the
utilities or be used for off grid use as part of our developing Neo-Grids solution. The Neo-Grids proprietary program, patents pending,
was developed for the off-grid distribution of electricity to remove or reduce the dependency on utilities that currently burdens the
EV Charging sectors. It will also reduce or eliminate the lengthy permitting processes and streamline the installations of those EV chargers.
Modular
Energy Distribution System: The Neo-GridTM 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-GridsTM System (patent pending),
for the capture and distribution of electrical energy for the EV market. The Neo-GridsTM 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-GridsTM 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 GridTM distribution system, a solution to alleviate the stress on the existing grid-tied
infrastructure. The Company has completed its’ Neo GridTM 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-GridTM System as a viable solution.
Ozop
Plus
On
August 19, 2021, the Company formed Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. (“Ozop Capital”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of the 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. EVCO has agreements
with others whereby the battery premium associated with any EV VSC will be ceded to EVCO. 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.
Ozop
Engineering and Design
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 are able to 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 by working with architects,
engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors and engineers.
Sales
and marketing
The
Company markets its products through its websites as well as attending industry specific trade shows. Additionally, Ozop Plus markets
the EV VSC in conjunction with Royal Administration Services, Inc. (“Royal”) through Royal’s agents and the Company
also will begin marketing the product through various third-party websites and portals for additional direct to consumer marketing to
EV owners. In April 2023, OED began marketing its’ maintenance and support contract program, named Ozop Secure to existing customers
as well as through other distributors.
Competition
We
compete with many companies in the various application segments including larger, more established companies with substantial capabilities,
personnel and financial resources. Many of our competitors have a larger presence in global markets.
Employees
The
Company employs 9 full time employees. Ozop also has contracts with various independent contractors and consultants to fulfill additional
needs, including accounting, investor relations, business development, permitting, and other corporate functions, and may increase staff
further as we expand activities and bring new projects online.
Legal
Proceedings
We
know of no existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any proceeding or pending litigation,
other than below. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial
stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
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.
Other
Information
None.

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-GridTM 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-GridTM 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-GridsTM System (patent pending),
for the capture and distribution of electrical energy for the EV market. The Neo-GridsTM 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-GridsTM 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 GridTM distribution system, a solution to alleviate the stress on the existing grid-tied
infrastructure. The Company has completed its’ Neo GridTM 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-GridTM 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.
|
● |
In
May 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with GS Administrators, Inc., a member of Houston-based GSFSGroup. Under the agreement,
the Company will market GSFSGroup’s EV VSC’s in all states (except, California, Florida, Massachusetts, and Washington)
to Ozop’s network of new and used franchised dealerships and other eligible entities. In addition to acting as an agent for
the marketing, Ozop also has the right to white label the product under its’ Ozop Plus brand. Ozop’s role won’t
be limited to marketing the product. GSFSGroup plans to tap into Ozop’s experience relative to battery collection and disposal
and has agreed to insurance risk sharing in connection with the insurance policies that back the VSC’s. GSFSGroup is working
on getting the approvals needed for the above four (4) states. |
|
|
|
|
● |
On
June 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Agent Agreement with Royal Administration Services, Inc. (“Royal”). Under
the agreement, the Company will market Royal’s EV VSC’s and has the right to white label it under Ozop Plus. Royal has
agreed to allow Ozop Plus on all VSC’s, marketed by Royal and the Company, to assume all the risk related to the electric battery
at an agreed upon premium. The battery premium is dependent on the consumer’s selection of the duration of the VSC, the miles
selected for coverage and the type of vehicle that the consumer has purchased, with a key component being the kWh size of the battery.
These VSC’s have a maximum of 10 years and 150,000 miles and cover new and used cars from model year 2017 and newer. Royal’s
VSCs are now effective in all 50 states. |

On
October 13, 2022, EVCO entered a Reinsurance Contract (the “Contract”) with American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida
(“ABIC” or the “Ceding Company”). Royal is the Administrator of the Contract. Pursuant to the terms of the
Contract, ABIC will cede 100% of the battery coverage portion of all electric vehicle service contracts to EVCO. On the same date
ABIC and EVCO also entered into a Trust Agreement, whereas EVCO as the reinsurer agrees to deposit an amount equal to unearned premium
reserves, plus losses reported but unpaid, plus the estimated amount of losses incurred but not reported to the trust account. Permissible
investments (with a maturity of no more than five (5) years) of the assets of the Trust account include: |

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.
Results
of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022:
Revenue
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company generated revenue of $172,559 and 4,205,083, respectively, compared to
$3,928,918 and $11,614,117 for the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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. These factors also resulted in our customers having excess inventory on hand and the cancellation of orders.
Cost
of sales
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $126,438 and $4,255,030, respectively, of cost of sales, compared
to $3,598,134 and $10,634,170 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

During
the nine months ended September 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.

Salaries,
taxes, and benefits decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022. The decrease was a result of the termination for cause of all of the employees in the west coast location related to Ozop Energy
Systems. This decrease was reduced by the increases in Ozop Engineering and Design (“OED”) and EV Insurance Company (“Ozop
Plus”) having employees for the entire three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to OED beginning in April 2022,
and Ozop Plus not having any employees in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September

technology and general and administrative functions. The solar distribution of this vertical is being managed by our financial consultant
and the Company’s CEO. OED currently has four employees with an aggregate annual compensation of $414,000. EV Insurance Company
has one employee with annual compensation of $125,000.
Professional
and consulting fees decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022. The decrease is due to the expiration of certain consulting contracts and accounting fees. These decreases were partially offset
by increases in legal expenses and auditing fees.
Advertising
and marketing expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022. The increases were related to website development, lead generation costs, and trade show participation.
Rent
and office expenses (including supplies, utilities, and internet costs) decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023,
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was a result that effective March 1, 2023, OES subleased
the Carlsbad office and warehouse to a third party.
Termination
costs of $1,755,082 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was a result of storage fees for goods that remained at a
third-party warehouse and purchase order termination fees charged by the Company’s solar panel supplier, all of which was in connection
with an early termination of vendor agreement.
Insurance
expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022. The decrease was the result of the termination of the west coast employees in November 2022, resulting in no health insurance and
workers compensation expenses related thereto. The decrease was reduced by the health insurance costs for OED for the full three and
nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company estimates that the
monthly insurance expense to be approximately $20,000 per month.
Other
(Income) Expenses
Other
(income) expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was ($2,265,254) and $1,576,860, respectively, compared
to other income, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, of ($513,157) and ($8,501,649), respectively, and were

The
decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily a result of the amortization period
of certain note discounts that were completed in 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized increased
gains on the change in the fair value of derivatives compared to the gains for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized gains on the change in the fair value of derivatives less than the gains for
the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net
income (loss) attributable to the Company
Net
loss attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $321,058 compared to net loss of $534,988 for the
three months ended September 30, 2022. The change was primarily a result of the termination expense described above, which were offset
by the gain on the change in fair value of derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the gain for the three
months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net loss attributable to the Company was also a result of lower interest expense, partially
offset by the lower gross profit recognized in the current quarter compared to the quarter ending September 30, 2022. The net loss attributable
to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $6,281,346 compared to net income of $4,975,556 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022. The change was a result of the termination expense and less gain on change in fair value of derivatives for
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, also a result of lower gross
profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of lower sales
and the Inventory Adjustment increasing the cost of goods sold by $625,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These increases
on losses were partially offset by the decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2022.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
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, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $217,582,145 and a working capital deficit of $11,616,395 (including derivative liabilities of $2,590,186). As of September 30, 2023,
the Company was in default of $3,565,000 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.
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 consolidated financial statements filed herein.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we primarily funded our business operations with the existing cash on hand as of January 1,
2023, cash received from sales of inventory, and $1,200,537 received from sales of common stock.
As
of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $966,292 as compared to $1,369,210 as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, we had current
liabilities of $15,714,672 (including $2,590,186 of non-cash derivative liabilities), compared to current assets of $4,098,277, which
resulted in a working capital deficit of $11,616,395. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible
debt, derivative liabilities, customer deposits, deferred liability, lease obligations, notes payable and liabilities of discontinued
operations.
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, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $901,293 compared to $5,185,222 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable
to the net loss of $6,281,346, and the gain on the change in fair value of derivatives of $1,724,084, adjusted by non-cash items of the
termination expense of $1,755,082, interest expense of $1,138,067, the inventory write-down of $625,000 and amortization and depreciation
of $172,470. Net changes of $3,429,606 in operating assets and liabilities reduced the cash used in operating activities.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $5,185,222, which was primarily attributable to the
net income of $4,445,884, adjusted by non-cash interest expense of $5,020,528, stock-based compensation of $136,249 and the non-cash
expenses of amortization and depreciation of $132,924. This was offset by the gain on the fair value changes in derivatives related to
warrants and convertible notes of $15,314,483. Net changes of $246,943 in operating assets and liabilities decreased the cash used in
operating activities.
Investing
Activities
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net cash used in investing activities was $2,162, compared to $198,362 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022.
Financing
Activities
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net cash provided by financing activities was $500,537. During the nine months ended September
30, 2023, we received $1,200,537, net of issuance costs, from the sales of common stock to GHS. During the nine months ended September
30, 2023, we made payments of $700,000 for notes payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received shares proceeds
of $814,625, net of issuance costs.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
significant accounting policies are described in more detail 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 financial statements:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation
of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock
method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for
the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion
of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
OFF
BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support
and credit risk support or other benefits.
DIRECTORS,
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Identification
of directors and executive officers.
The
names and ages of our directors and executive officers are set forth below. Also included is their principal occupation(s). Our By-Laws
provide for up to four directors. All directors are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of the
stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Chief
Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer |

February

Brian
P. Conway, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer brings 20 years of proven success in marketing and business
development for both private and publicly traded companies. Starting off in database management and sales for Venture Direct on Madison
Avenue, he crossed over to Wall Street as a co-founder of Waypoint Capital Partners. During this time, he was responsible for national
sales, marketing, business and product development, national account customers, and new business relations with international and US
companies while creating awareness for public companies with many of the nation’s top public relations firms. From October 1, 2014,
through August 31, 2019, Mr. Conway was the CEO, CFO and Director of Ngen Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a/ Liberated Solutions, Inc.). His
relationships and experience with investment bankers, non-dilutive financing, and public relations should be instrumental in moving the
Company forward.
Family
Relationships
None
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
No
director, executive officer, significant employee, or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed
in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.
Corporate
Governance
Our
Board has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee
performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent
directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could
be considered more form than substance.
Given
our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders
will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event
such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
As
with most small, early-stage companies until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a greater revenue base,
and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects
to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish
an audit committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as
an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board
members be independent, and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of
our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or
other committee of our Board.
Code
of Ethics
We
adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies
to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the Code
of Ethics supplement, but do not replace, any other code of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.
Under
the Code of Ethics, all members of the senior financial management shall:
|
● |
Act
honestly and ethically in the performance of their duties at our company, |
|
● |
Avoid
actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, |
|
● |
Provide
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the SEC and
in other public communications by our company, |
|
● |
Comply
with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments and other private and public regulatory agencies that effect the
conduct of our business and our financial reporting, |
|
● |
Act
in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing the member’s
independent judgment to be subordinated |
|
● |
Respect
the confidentiality of information in the course of work, except when authorized or legally obtained to disclosure such information, |
|
● |
Share
knowledge and maintain skills relevant to carrying out the member’s duties within our company, |
|
● |
Proactively
promote ethical behavior as a responsible partner among peers and colleagues in the work environment and community, |
|
● |
Achieve
responsible use of and control over all assets and resources of our company entrusted to the member, and |
|
● |
Promptly
bring to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer any information concerning (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operating
of internal controls which could adversely affect to record, process, summarize and report financial data or (b) any fraud, whether
or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting or
internal
controls. |
Director
Independence
None
of the members of our Board of Directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of
the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not,
and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged
in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director that
no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out
the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors
made these determinations, our Board would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each
director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
In
performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function,
our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s
independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors
and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and
approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews
with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting
and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included
in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management
and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements.
Our
board as a whole will consider executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation.
Our board as a whole oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives
relevant to the compensation of our executive officers, if any, and administers our equity incentive and stock option plans, if any.
Each
of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board
will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for
director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs
and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience
and demonstrated character and judgment.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, persons who beneficially
own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, and certain other persons to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC, and to furnish the Company with copies of the forms. The Company does not
believe that all of its directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all such filing requirements
during 2023.

14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Pursuant
to Section 607.0850 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of
being a director or officer of the Registrant, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our Bylaws provide that the
Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
With
regard to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the common shares being registered, we will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such case.

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 September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $217,582,145 and a working capital deficit of $11,616,395 (including derivative liabilities of $2,590,186). As of September 30, 2023,
the Company was in default of $3,565,000 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 “1st
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 nine months ended September 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 “2nd 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 2nd GHS Purchase Agreement are similar to the terms and conditions of the 1st GHS Purchase Agreement. During
the nine months ended September 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. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold to GHS 163,625,529 shares of common stock and received $602,317 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-GridTM 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-GridTM System, a proprietary system (patent pending), for the capture and
distribution of electrical energy for the EV market. The Neo-GridTM 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-GridTM 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-GridTM 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-GridTM
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-GridTM 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.
|
● |
In
May 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with GS Administrators, Inc., a member of Houston-based GSFSGroup. Under the agreement,
the Company will market GSFSGroup’s EV VSC’s in all states (except, California, Florida, Massachusetts, and Washington)
to Ozop’s network of new and used franchised dealerships and other eligible entities. In addition to acting as an agent for
the marketing, Ozop also has the right to white label the product under its’ Ozop Plus brand. Ozop’s role won’t
be limited to marketing the product. GSFSGroup plans to tap into Ozop’s experience relative to battery collection and disposal
and has agreed to insurance risk sharing in connection with the insurance policies that back the VSC’s. GSFSGroup is working
on getting the approvals needed for the above four (4) states. |
|
|
|
|
● |
On
June 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Agent Agreement with Royal Administration Services, Inc. (“Royal”). Under
the agreement, the Company will market Royal’s EV VSC’s and has the right to white label it under Ozop Plus. Royal has
agreed to allow Ozop Plus on all VSC’s, marketed by Royal and the Company, to assume all the risk related to the electric battery
at an agreed upon premium. The battery premium is dependent on the consumer’s selection of the duration of the VSC, the miles
selected for coverage and the type of vehicle that the consumer has purchased, with a key component being the kWh size of the battery.
These VSC’s have a maximum of 10 years and 150,000 miles and cover new and used cars from model year 2017 and newer. Royal’s
VSCs are now effective in all 50 states. |
|
|
|
|
● |
On
October 13, 2022, EVCO entered into a Reinsurance Contract (the “Contract”) with American Bankers Insurance Company of
Florida (“ABIC” or the “Ceding Company”). Royal is the Administrator of the Contract. Pursuant to the terms
of the Contract, ABIC will cede 100% of the battery coverage portion of all electric vehicle service contracts to EVCO. On the same
date ABIC and EVCO also entered into a Trust Agreement, whereas EVCO as the reinsurer agrees to deposit an amount equal to unearned
premium reserves, plus losses reported but unpaid, plus the estimated amount of losses incurred but not reported to the trust account.
Permissible investments (with a maturity of no more than five (5) years) of the assets of the Trust account include: |

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 September 30, 2023, 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, 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 September 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 nine months
ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, and their accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023:

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. Finished goods inventories as of September 30,
2023, and December 31, 2022, were $2,201,935 and $3,601,026, respectively.
Purchase
concentration
OES
purchases finished renewable energy products from its’ suppliers. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there
was one supplier that accounted for 100%. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, there was one supplier that accounted for 91.7%,
and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were four suppliers that accounted for 34.9%, 27.2%, 11.3% and 11.2%, 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:

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022:

advertising and marketing expenses of $15,911 and $8,045, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company
recorded advertising and marketing expenses of $47,081 and $13,233, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022. For additional information, see Note
15-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:
|
● |
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, 2023, and December 31, 2022, 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 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 (loss) 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 September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s
dilutive securities are convertible into approximately 8,840,489,549 and 7,826,372,485, respectively, shares of common stock. The following
table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of September 30, 2023, and 2022:
SCHEDULE OF ANTIDILUTIVE SECURITIES EXCLUDED FROM COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

The
potentially dilutive shares included in the above table are limited whereby the conversion or exercise cannot result in the beneficial
owner holding more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock subsequent to any conversion or exercise. These
shares were excluded
from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the Company’s
net loss position. |
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 September
30, 2023, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.
NOTE
4 – OTHER RECEIVABLES
In November 2022, the Company issued a purchase order
for 80 containers of solar panels to VSUN Solar USA, Inc. (“VSUN”), based solely on an order the Company received from a
customer at that time. The Company had remitted a deposit to VSUN of $2,395,768 in November 2022. Because of market conditions that began
to deteriorate in early 2023 in the residential solar PV market and VSUN’s refusal to negotiate a price that would enable Ozop
to realize a profit on the order, the customer eventually cancelled the order in June 2023. VSUN had already shipped 40 containers out
of total 80 containers to the US and the remaining 40 containers of products have not been produced by September 30, 2023. The general
terms and conditions of the purchase order allowed Ozop 30 days free storage, and to be charged storage fees after the 30 days.
On
November 6, 2023, the Company and VSUN entered into a Termination Agreement (the “TA”) after negotiation. Pursuant to
the TA, the parties agreed to cancel the remaining unpaid and/or not fully executed purchase orders the Company issued to VSUN, and
to apply part of the vendor deposits (totaling $2,525,102 paid to VSUN) to unpaid storage fees of $556,884
and to a termination fee of $1,198,198.
The combined amount of storage fees and termination fee of $1,755,082
is classified separately as Loss associated with early termination of vendor agreement on the consolidated statements of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The remaining balance of the deposit of $770,020
is included in Other Receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. The Company received $770,020
on November 17, 2023. In addition, VSUN shall retain the above 40 containers of products in storage as a result of the early
termination. The Company and VSUN shall not have any further obligations under the purchase orders which
shall be terminated, and the Company shall have no liability to VSUN and VSUN shall have no liability to the Company as a result of
or in connection with this termination.

NOTE
6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
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 September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of this note was $25,000.
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 as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, at $2,590,186 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 September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, risk free interest rates at 5.53% and 4.76%, respectively, and
volatility of 48% 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 September 30, 2023, and December 31,
2022, risk free interest rate of 5.01% to 5.53%, and 4.39% to 4.73%, respectively, volatility of 69% to 107%, 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.

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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 are summarized below:

On
May 16, 2022, Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) filed a Complaint for Confession of Judgment (“COJ”) against
Catherine Chis (“Chis”). Chis was the former CEO of PCTI and a Guarantor on Huntington’s Letter of Credit financing
(“LOC”) and a Term Loan (“Term Loan”). The Chis COJ for the LOC was for $352,415 and accrues per diem interest
of $63.65, and the Chis COJ for the Term Loan was for $141,415 and accrues per diem interest of $28.60. On June 24, 2022, Huntington
filed a COJ against Power Conversion Technologies, Inc (“PCTI”). The PCTI COJ for the LOC was for $354,774 and accrues per
diem interest of $63.65 and the PCTI COJ for the LOC was for $142,473 and accrues per diem interest of $28.60. On July 20, 2022, Huntington
assigned the PCTI judgment against PCTI to Meraki Advisors, LLC. (“Meraki”). The Company’s understanding is Meraki
is a Pennsylvania limited liability company, controlled by Chis.
The
Company wrote off the book value of the inventory of $237,091 and fixed assets of $15,447 during the year ended December 31, 2022, with
the offset to Loss on Disposal of Assets of Discontinued Operations. Included in the Current portion of notes payable are the principal
balances of Huntington’s LOC of $344,166 and Term Loan of $134,681. Accrued interest and fees on the LOC and Term Loan debt $54,256
is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
NOTE
16 - 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
17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From
October 1, 2023, through the filing of this report, the Company sold GHS 225,731,372 shares of common stock for proceeds of $350,852
net of offering costs. These sales were under the May 1, 2023, GHS Equity Financing Agreement.
On
November 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement with VSUN (See Note 4).
On November 6, 2023, a noteholder and the Company signed an extension agreement to extend the maturity date of a
note with face value of $389,423 to November 6, 2025, with interest rate increasing from 12% to 15%. The note was originally due on November
6, 2023. In connection with the extension, the Company agreed to issue a warrant to the noteholder to purchase 60,000,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.0019. The warrant expires on November 6, 2026, and provides for a cashless exercise (See Note 8).
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.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, As of December 31, 2022,
the Company had an accumulated deficit of $211,300,799 and a working capital deficit of $7,552,616 (including derivative liabilities of
$4,314,270). As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in default of $1,470,000 plus accrued interest on debt instruments due to non-payment
upon maturity dates. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the
risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from
the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and
that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $211,300,799 and a working capital deficit of $7,552,616 (including derivative liabilities of $4,314,270). As of December 31, 2022,
the Company was in default of $1,470,000 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
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.
On
April 4, 2022, the Company, and GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”). signed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “1st
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. 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. On October 17, 2022, the Company and GHS extended the Maturity
Date to April 3, 2023. 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. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, through January 23, 2023, the Company sold GHS 51,087,628 shares
of common stock for proceeds of $205,443, 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 “2nd 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 2nd GHS Purchase Agreement are similar to the terms and conditions of the 1st GHS Purchase Agreement. As
of the date of this report the Company has sold GHS 63,698,905 shares of common stock for proceeds of $355,060, 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. 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-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-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. :
OES has acquired the license rights to a proprietary system, the Neo-GridsTM System (patent pending), for the capture
and distribution of electrical energy for the EV market. The Neo-GridsTM 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-GridsTM 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 Grids distribution, a solution to the stress forthcoming to the existing grid infrastructure.
The Company has completed its’ Neo Grid research and development as well as the first set of engineered technical drawings. This
first stage of 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 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.
|
● |
In
May 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with GS Administrators, Inc., a member of Houston-based GSFSGroup. Under the agreement,
the Company will market GSFSGroup’s EV VSC’s in all states (except, California, Florida, Massachusetts and Washington)
to Ozop’s network of new and used franchised dealerships and other eligible entities. In addition to acting as an agent for
the marketing, Ozop also has the right to white label the product under its’ Ozop Plus brand. Ozop’s role won’t
be limited to marketing the product. GSFSGroup plans to tap into Ozop’s experience relative to battery collection and disposal
and has agreed to insurance risk sharing in connection with the insurance policies that back the VSC’s. GSFSGroup is working
on getting the approvals needed for the above four (4) states. |
|
|
|
|
● |
On
June 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Agent Agreement with Royal Administration Services, Inc. (“Royal”). Under
the agreement, the Company will market Royal’s EV VSC’s and has the right to white label it under Ozop Plus. Royal has
agreed to allow Ozop Plus on all VSC’s, marketed by Royal and the Company, to assume all the risk related to the electric battery
at an agreed upon premium. The battery premium is dependent on the consumer’s selection of the duration of the VSC, the miles
selected for coverage and the type of vehicle that the consumer has purchased, with a key component being the kWh size of the battery.
These VSC’s have a maximum of 10 years and 150,000 miles and cover new and used cars from model year 2017 and newer. Royal’s
VSCs are now effective in 46 states and the others have various waiting times or approvals needed. |
|
● |
On
October 13, 2022, EVCO entered into a Reinsurance Contract (the “Contract”) with American Bankers Insurance Company of
Florida (“ABIC” or the “Ceding Company”). Royal is the Administrator of the Contract. Pursuant to the terms
of the Contract, ABIC will cede 100% of the battery coverage portion of all electric vehicle service contracts to EVCO. On the same
date ABIC and EVCO also entered into a Trust Agreement, whereas EVCO as the reinsurer agrees to deposit an amount equal to unearned
premium reserves, plus losses reported but unpaid, plus the estimated amount of losses incurred but not reported to the trust account.
Permissible investments (with a maturity of no more than five (5) years) of the assets of the Trust account include: |

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 are able to 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. In April, 2022, OED began operations
and generated $92,100 of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, and currently has six employees in sales, marketing installation
and services.
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United
States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Ozop Energy
Systems, Inc. and the Company’s other wholly owned subsidiaries Ozop Capital Partners, Inc., PCTI, Ozop LLC, Ozop HK and Spinus,
LLC (“Spinus”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments
are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured
limits. The Company has no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022, and 2021
Sales
Concentration and credit risk
Following
is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the years ended December
31, 2022, and 2021, and their accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2022:

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. Finished goods
inventories at December 31, 2022, and 2021, were $3,601,026 and $788,110, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has on deposit
with vendor(s) approximately $3,043,000 and has a balance due of approximately $12,176,000 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 year ended December 31, 2022, there were two suppliers
that accounted for 61% and 16.3%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were two suppliers that accounted for 42.6%
and 20.4%, 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 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:

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 years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021:

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.
Advertising
and Marketing Expenses
The
Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded advertising
and marketing expenses of $51,441 and $23,025, respectively.
Research
and Development
Costs
and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December
31, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded $-0- and $7,500 of research and development expenses, respectively.
Convertible
Instruments
The
Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and
Hedging Activities.
Applicable
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative
financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and
risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host
contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at
fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same
terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The
Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated
from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value
of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at
the commitment date of 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 (see Note 2) which meets the definition of
a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI are reported as a loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. 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 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:
|
● |
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 December
31, 2022, and 2021, for each fair value hierarchy level:

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 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 December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company’s dilutive
securities are convertible into approximately 8,332,973,619 and 7,592,474,061, respectively, shares of common stock. The following table
represents the classes of dilutive securities as of December 31, 2022, and 2021:

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 December
31, 2021, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

NOTE
5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
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 December 31, 2022, and 2021, 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 at December 31, 2022, and 2021, at $4,314,270 and $20,966,701, respectively. For the derivative
liability associated with convertible notes, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions
as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, risk free interest rates at 4.76% and 0.19%, respectively, and volatility of 71% and 92%, 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.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 375,000,000 warrants in conjunction with notes payable (see Note 7). Due to insufficient
authorized shares (see above), the Company recorded a discount to notes payable of $14,982,815 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 $53,890,754.
The
following assumptions were utilized in the Black-Scholes valuation of outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, risk free
interest rate of 4.39% to 4.73%, and .48% to .99%, respectively, volatility of 109% to 272%, and 344% to 366%, 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.

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 $13,148 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.
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.

of $63.65, and the Chis COJ for the Term Loan was for $141,415 and accrues per diem interest of $28.60. On June 24, 2022, Huntington
filed a COJ against Power Conversion Technologies, Inc (“PCTI”). The PCTI COJ for the LOC was for $354,774 and accrues per
diem interest of $63.65 and the PCTI COJ for the LOC was for $142,473 and accrues per diem interest of $28.60. On July 20, 2022, Huntington

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. Accordingly, there is a full valuation allowance provided
against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022.
A
reconciliation of the provision for income taxes determined at the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate
is as follows:

realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future income, management has determined that the deferred
tax assets meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against
the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022.
As
of December 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $17,623,000 net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income.
As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income
tax rate in future periods, and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits
within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the years
ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2022, and 2021.

Item
16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
The
following exhibits are included as part of this Form S-1/A.
|

Incorporated
by reference to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on August 1, 2016 |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
Incorporated
by reference to Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2023 |
Item
17. Undertakings
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) |
File,
during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
|
(i) |
Include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
“Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
Include
any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) |
For
determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering. |
|
|
(3) |
File
a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
|
|
(4) |
For
determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424; |
|
(ii) |
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
Each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of
sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part
of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf

Re:
Registration Statement on Form S-1/A for Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel for Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the registration of 1,000,000,000
shares of common stock of the Company (the “Offering Shares”) to be issued to GHS Investments, LLC, on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1/A being filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Registration Statement”).
In
rendering the opinion expressed below, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent verification or investigation:
1.
That all signatures on documents we have examined in connection herewith are genuine and that all items submitted to us as original are
authentic and all items submitted to us as copies conform with originals;
2.
Except for the documents stated herein, there are no documents or agreements between the Company and/or any third parties which would
expand or otherwise modify the respective rights and obligations of the parties as set forth in the documents referred to herein or which
would have an effect on the opinion;
3.
That as to all factual matters, each of the representations and warranties contained in the documents referred to herein is true, accurate
and complete in all material respects, and the opinion expressed herein is given in reliance thereon.
We
have examined the Registration Statement and various other documents, books, records, instruments and certificates of public officials,
directors, executive officers and agents of the Company, and have made such investigations as we have deemed reasonable, necessary or
prudent under the circumstances. Also, in rendering this opinion, we have reviewed various statutes and judicial precedent as we have
deemed relevant or necessary.
Based
on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1.
The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Nevada.
2.
The Offering Shares covered by the Registration Statement to be sold pursuant to the terms of the Registration Statement, when issued
upon receipt by the Company of the agreed-upon consideration therefore, will be duly authorized, and, upon the sale thereof as contemplated
in the Registration Statement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The
opinions set forth above are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors;
(ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; and (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law
or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such
indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update our opinions herein, regardless
of whether changes in such facts or laws come to our attention after the date hereof.
We
hereby consent to be named in the Prospectus forming Part I of the aforesaid Registration Statement under the caption, “Interest
of Named Experts and Counsel,” and the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In providing this consent,
we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of
1933, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, including Item 509 of Regulation
S-K.
