June 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Business
Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the” Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was originally incorporated as Newmarkt Corp. on July 17, 2015, under the laws of the State of Nevada.

As permitted by the Section 92.A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the sole purpose and effect of the filing of Articles of Merger was to change the name of the Company from Ozop Surgical Corp to “Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.”
On December 11, 2020, the Company formed Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. (“OES”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OES was formed to be a manufacturer and distributor of renewable energy products.
On August 19, 2021, the Company formed Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. (“Ozop Capital”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Brian Conway was appointed as the sole officer and director of Ozop Capital and has voting control of Ozop Capital.
On October 29, 2021, EV Insurance Company, Inc. (“EVCO”) was formed as a captive insurance company in the State of Delaware. EVCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ozop Capital. On January 7, 2022, EVCO filed with New Castle County, Delaware DBA OZOP Plus.
On February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners offer the resources needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects.

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 () 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
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 () 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold to GHS shares of common stock and received $
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 $

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 - 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.
| F-8 |
| ● | 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: |
| ○ | U.S. Treasury Securities | |
| ○ | Cash or cash instruments | |
| ○ | U.S agency issues | |
| ○ | Other investments as Ceding Company approves |
On February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners offer the resources needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects. OED will provide its’ customers systems to coordinate the understanding of electrical usage with the relationship between lighting design and lighting controls, by developing more efficient ecofriendly designs by working with architects, engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors and engineers.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
| F-9 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has no cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Sales Concentration and credit risk
Following is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and their accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2023:

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 $

| Building | ||
| Office furniture and equipment | ||
| Warehouse equipment |
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.

Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of this note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in this note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-10. In the period in which the component meets held-for-sale or discontinued operations criteria the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations.
On September 1, 2022, the BOD of the Company authorized the filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding which meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI are reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. For additional information, see Note 14- Discontinued Operations.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Our CEO and Chairman holds sufficient shares of the Company’s voting preferred stock that give sufficient voting rights under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company such that the CEO and Chairman can at any time unilaterally vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company, without the need to call a general meeting of common shareholders of the Company.
| F-12 |
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 June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, for each fair value hierarchy level:
| June 30, 2023 | Derivative Liabilities | Total | ||||||
| Level I | $ | $ | ||||||

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
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.
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into approximately and , respectively, shares of common stock. The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of June 30, 2023, and 2022:
| June 30, 2023 | June 30, 2022 | |||||||

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging —Contracts in Entity’ Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’ Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company does not believe the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other than the above, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the period ended June 30, 2023, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

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.

We are involved as a plaintiff in a Complaint filed in the SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO NORTH COUNTY (the “Complaint”) on November 14, 2022. The Complaint alleges that former employees would place an order from a customer for purchase of product from OZOP with funds the exact source of which is presently unknown. OZOP alleges that next, the customer would sell that product to OZOP’s customers at a price marked up from the price for which the customer purchased from OZOP – to the benefit of Defendants and to the detriment of OZOP, their employer at the time. The Complaint further alleges that the former employees falsely represented that the price the customer was obtaining from other suppliers and therefore was willing to pay for OZOP product decreased, which allowed them to use the customer to then sell additional product to OZOP’s customers at increasingly larger margins, thus further wrongfully enriching themselves to the detriment of their employer, OZOP. The lawsuit also alleges that the employees were also making false statements to Ozop’s customers regarding the financial condition of Ozop and the lack of module inventory.
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

NOTE 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
While our financial statements are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditors have raised a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions.

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: |
| ○ | U.S. Treasury Securities | |
| ○ | Cash or cash instruments | |
| ○ | U.S agency issues | |
| ○ | Other investments as Ceding Company approves |
On February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners can offer the resources needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects. OED will provide its’ customers systems to coordinate the understanding of electrical usage with the relationship between lighting design and lighting controls, by developing more efficient ecofriendly designs by working with architects, engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors and engineers.
Discontinued Operations
On September 1, 2022, the BOD of the Company authorized the filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding which meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI are reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.
Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022:
Revenue
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company generated revenue of $1,241,326 and 4,032,524, respectively, compared to $4,765,877 and $7,685,199 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Revenues from Ozop Energy Systems, Inc. (“OES”) are classified as sourced and distributed products. Ozop Engineering and Design (“OED”) operations began in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and are classified as design and installation. Sales are summarized as follows:

Sales of sourced and distributed products (solar product) were lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The Company believes the lower revenues were due to higher interest rates affecting homeowners’ ability and desire for residential rooftop solar installations as well as competitors lowering their selling prices to try to capture a part of the lower demand. This also resulted in our customers having excess inventory on hand.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had inventory of approximately $2,328,000. As of the date of this report the Company also has outstanding purchase orders with its panel supplier of approximately $10,345,000 and has paid deposits of approximately $2,525,000 towards these open purchase orders. If the Company sells their current inventory and open purchase orders, sales of solar products can approach $15 million for 2023.
Cost of sales
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $1,733,892 and $4,128,592, respectively, of cost of sales, compared to $4,286,687 and $7,036,036 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

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

| Gross margin after Inventory Adjustment | (39.7 | %) | 10.1 | % | (2.4 | %) | 8.4 | % | ||||||||
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in gross margin prior to the Inventory Adjustment compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, is a result of the higher gross margins on design and installation sales related to OED, offset by lower gross margin on solar panel sales related to the product mix sold of solar panels. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in gross margin prior to the Inventory Adjustment compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, is a result of the higher gross margins on design and installation sales related to OED, and by higher gross margin on solar panel sales related to the product mix sold of solar panels.

Professional and consulting fees decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is the result that on March 1, 2023, OES subleased the Carlsbad office and warehouse to a third party.
Insurance expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase for the three-month period was a result of health insurance for OED for the full three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was reduced by termination of the west coast employees in November 2022, resulting in no health insurance and workers compensation expenses related thereto. The decrease for the six-month period 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company estimates that the monthly insurance expense to be approximately $20,000 per month.

The decrease in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily a result of the amortization period of certain note discounts were completed in 2022, resulting in $318,750 and $819,318 of interest related to the amortization of note discounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $820,704 and $4,199,825 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized losses on the change in the fair value of derivatives compared to gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Net loss
Net losses attributable to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $3,432,736 and $5,960,288, respectively, compared to net income of $6,704,305 and $5,510,544 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The change was primarily a result of the loss on the change in fair value of derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the loss was also a result of lower gross profits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of the Inventory Adjustment increasing the cost of goods sold by $625,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases on losses were partially offset by the decreases in operating expenses and interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $217,261,087 and a working capital deficit of $12,238,723 (including derivative liabilities of $5,895,175). As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in default of $3,715,000 plus accrued interest on debt instruments due to non-payment upon maturity dates. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
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 six months ended June 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 $598,220 received from sales of common stock.
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $1,294,898 as compared to $1,369,210 as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had current liabilities of $18,551,196 (including $5,895,175 of non-cash derivative liabilities), compared to current assets of $6,312,473, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $12,238,723. 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $120,370 compared to $4,676,160 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of $5,960,288, adjusted by non- cash items of the loss on the fair value change of derivatives of $1,580,905, interest expense of $819,318, the inventory write-down of $625,000 and amortization and depreciation of $112,397. Net changes of $2,713,024 in operating assets and liabilities reduced the cash used in operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net income of $5,150,437, adjusted by non- cash interest expense of $4,199,825, stock-based compensation of $136,249 and the non-cash expenses of amortization and depreciation of $86,984. This was offset by the gain on the fair value changes in derivatives related to warrants and convertible notes of $13,376,773. Net changes of $985,645 in operating assets and liabilities increased the cash used in operating activities.

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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons discussed below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
| 1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. | |
| 2. | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for cash, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signatures on the Company’s bank accounts. |
| 11 |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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.
