ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance
and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Forward-looking statements may
appear throughout this report, including without limitation, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words such as “anticipates,”
“believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,”
“projects,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in particular, the risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A
of this report and in in our Form 10-K, and those discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Important factors that in our view could cause material adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations include,
but are not limited to, risks associated with service demands and acceptance, our ability to expand, changes in healthcare practices,
changes in technology, economic conditions, the impact of competition and pricing, government regulation and approvals, impacts and disruptions
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those described herein
as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision
to any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
As
used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms include Bitech Technologies Corporation

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bitech
Technologies Corporation (formerly, Spine Injury Solutions Inc.) (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) was
incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998. In connection with the Company’s planned expansion of its business following
the completion of the acquisition of Bitech Mining Corporation, a Wyoming corporation (“Bitech Mining”), it filed a Certificate
of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware on April 29, 2022 to change its corporate name to Bitech Technologies Corporation.
We
have refocused our business development plans as we seek to position ourselves as a global technology solution enabler dedicated to providing
a suite of green energy solutions with industry focus on green data centers, commercial and residential utility, EV infrastructure, and
other renewable energy initiatives. We plan to pursue these innovative energy technologies through research and development, planned
acquisitions of other green energy technologies and plans to become a grid-balancing operator using Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
solutions and applying new green technologies in power plants as a technology enabler in the green energy sector. While participating
in the clean energy economy, we are seeking business partnerships with defensible technology innovators and renewable energy providers
to facilitate investments, provide new market entries toward emerging-growth regions and implement or manufacture these innovative, scalable
energy system solutions with technological focuses on smart grids, Building Energy Management System (BEMS), energy storage, and EV infrastructure.
In light of these initiatives and our determination that the electric power generation and charging
system we had been developing was not functional nor was it capable of being developed into a commercially viable product, we elected
to discontinue our efforts to commercialize this technology.
The Company
is also seeking to expand its business to include the establishment of an energy storage system (ESS) sales division and a renewable
energy consulting division to provide knowledge-based online content in the green energy sector.
The
Company acquired Bitech Mining on March 31, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) through a share exchange pursuant to a Share Exchange
Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, Bitech Mining, each of Bitech Mining’s shareholders
(each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), and Benjamin Tran, solely in his capacity as Sellers’
Representative (“Sellers’ Representative”). The transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement is hereinafter
referred to as the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange Agreement provides that the Company will acquire from the Sellers,
an aggregate of 94,312,250 shares of Bitech Mining’s Common Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, representing 100 % of the issued
and outstanding shares of Bitech Mining (collectively, the “Bitech Mining Shares”). In consideration of the Bitech Mining
Shares, the Company issued to the Sellers an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each Bitech Mining Share shall be entitled
to receive 0.09543 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 53.975685
shares (an aggregate of 485,781,168) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Company Common Stock”) effective as of June
27, 2022 upon filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common
stock to 1,000,000,000 . Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Sellers held, in the aggregate, approximately 96 % of the
issued and outstanding shares of Company capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
The
Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and Bitech Mining is considered
the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of
the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles,
the historical financial results of Bitech Mining, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical
financial results.
Prior
to March 31, 2022, we were engaged in the business of owning, developing and leasing the Quad Video Halo video recording system (“QVH”)
used to record medical procedures including the collection of accounts receivables related to previously provided spine injury diagnostic
services (collectively, the “QVH Business”).

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position with
respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the results of its operations for the interim period ended September
30, 2023, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full
year.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes
principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s
contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
The
Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by performing the following five steps analysis:
Step
1: Identify the contract
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price
Step
5: Recognize revenue
Substantially
all of the Company’s historical revenues was derived from leasing equipment. The Company considers a signed lease agreement to
be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between signed agreements and
satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year, and virtually all of the Company’s contracts
are short-term. The Company recognizes revenue when services are provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company typically satisfies its performance
obligations in contracts with customers upon delivery of the services. The Company does not have any contract assets since the
Company has an unconditional right to consideration when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and payment from
customers is not contingent on a future event. Generally, payment is due from customers immediately at the invoice date, and the
contracts do not have significant financing components nor variable consideration. There are no returns and there is no allowances.
All of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is
stated in the contract, usually as a price per unit. All estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, complete
satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company’s best judgment at the time the estimate is made.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximates
fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the
financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore
cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost,
which approximates fair value. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We
have not experienced any losses on these deposits.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the respective accounts, and the net difference, less any amount realized from the disposition, is recorded in operations.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Costs of significant improvements and renewals are capitalized.
Property
and equipment consist of computers and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three years , using the straight-line
method.
Long-Lived
Assets
We
periodically review and evaluate long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may
not be recoverable. In performing our review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of
such assets and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the related assets, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment
loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of such assets over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash
flows.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Assets
that expose us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable arise from a diversified customer
base and, therefore, we believe the concentration of credit risk is minimal. We evaluate the creditworthiness of customers before any
services are provided. We record a discount based on the nature of our business, collection trends, and an assessment of our ability
to fully realize amounts billed for services. We have no accounts receivable to warrant any allowance at September 30, 2023 or December
31, 2022.

Stock
Based Compensation
We
account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors,
including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of share-based payment awards on the
date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the
fair-value of stock-based awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $ 102,600 and $ 0 , respectively
as compensation expense during those periods.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized
based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax basis. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred
tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.
Uncertain
Tax Positions
Accounting
Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 740-10-25 defines the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being
recognized in the financial statements as “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than fifty percent).
Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, the recognition threshold is met when an entity concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical
merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify
for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard or are resolved
through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax
position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely
than not threshold of being sustained.
We
are subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur additional tax
expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. When applicable, we will adjust tax expense to reflect our ongoing assessments of such
matters which require judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective rate as well as impact operating results.
Under
ASC Topic 740-10-25, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current liability.
As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g. resolution due to the expiration of the statute of
limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are not classified as current. Estimated interest and penalties are recognized
as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized no estimated
interest or penalties as income tax expense.
Legal
Costs and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other
matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.
If
a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we recognize an expense for the estimated loss. If we have
the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, we make a separate assessment of recoverability and reduce
the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.

Net
Loss per Share
Basic
and diluted net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods
presented. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options and warrants
have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations, because all such
securities were anti-dilutive. The net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the periods.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) and, instead, requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the
reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13
amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to amend the effective date for entities that had not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-13.
Accordingly, the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application
permitted in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments of ASU No. 2016-13 should be applied through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Management is currently
evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

2. MANAGEMENT ’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of Bitech Technologies
Corporation (the “Company,” “Bitech Technologies,” “our” or “we”) is for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. It is supplemental to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial
statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the accompanying notes for such period included in our Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 4, 2022. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Financial information presented in
this MD&A is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “US$”), unless otherwise indicated.
The
information about us provided in this MD&A, including information incorporated by reference, may contain “forward-looking statements”
and certain “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable United States securities laws and Canadian securities
laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, made by us that address activities, events or developments that we expect
or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements preceded by,
followed by or that include words such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”,
“believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential”, “expects”, “plans”,
“intends”, “anticipates”, “targeted”, “continues”, “forecasts”, “designed”,
“goal”, or the negative of those words or other similar or comparable words and includes, among others, information regarding:
our ability to become profitable and generate cash in our operating activities; our need for substantial additional financing to operate
our business and difficulties we may face acquiring additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all; our significant indebtedness
and significant restrictions on our operations; our ability to develop and manufacture each of the components of our planned Evirontek
Integrated Platform; the impact of global climate change on our ability to conduct future operations; our dependence on key inputs, suppliers
and skilled labor for the production of each of the components of the Evirontek Integrated Platform; our ability to attract and retain
key personnel; growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls; risk related to
the protection of our intellectual property and our exposure to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties; risks related
to competition; risks related to our lack of internal controls over financial reporting and their effectiveness; increased costs we are
subject to as a result of being a public company in the United States; and other events or conditions that may occur in the future.
Forward-looking
statements may relate to future financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance or business developments.
These statements speak only as at the date they are made and are based on information currently available and on the then current expectations
of the party making the statement and assumptions concerning future events, which are subject to a number of known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from that which
was expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties described in “Risk
Factors.”
Although
we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should
not be placed on the forward-looking statements, because no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking
statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results
could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to
the risks described in “Risk Factors.”

Overview
of the Business
Currently,
we have refocused our business development plans as we seek to position ourselves as a global technology solution enabler dedicated to
providing a suite of green energy solutions with industry focus on green data centers, commercial and residential utility, EV infrastructure,
and other renewable energy initiatives. We plan to pursue these innovative energy technologies through research and development, planned
acquisitions of other green energy technologies and plans to become a grid-balancing operator using Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
solutions and applying new green technologies in power plants as a technology enabler in the green energy sector. While participating
in the clean energy economy, we are seeking business partnerships with defensible technology innovators and renewable energy providers
to facilitate investments, provide new market entries toward emerging-growth regions and implement or manufacture these innovative, scalable
energy system solutions with technological focuses on smart grids, Building Energy Management System (BEMS), energy storage, and EV infrastructure.
To
accelerate growth of a planned intellectual property (IP) portfolio through acquisition strategies, we plan to execute our Smart Acquisition
Model with selected acquisitions of defensible technologies accompanied with visionary management teams who can demonstrate a common
goal with us in order to unlock the full potential with capital infusion, accelerate growth. To achieve our development plans, we plan
to incubate those acquired companies toward foreseeable plans for mergers and acquisitions, formation of global joint ventures, while
facilitating new market entry to today’s fastest growing Southeast Asia region. With this acquisition model, we expect to build
a valuable technology portfolio of IP assets in various innovative green energy technologies, leveraging our network of global capital
partners with low-cost manufacturing capacity and oversea outsourcing technical talents from our niche sources in Vietnam.
Further,
we plan to execute a Dual Growth Business Model as depicted in the diagram below encompassing (1) IP portfolio growth which includes
technology licensing or technology acquisitions, enhanced with our plans to carry out research and development for specific applications,
and (2) sustainable revenue growth by executing planned BESS acquisitions via joint ventures with capital partners to collect joint venture
income from BESS operations or Vietnam-based manufacturing partners which can manufacture products derived from our technology solutions.
In
light of these initiatives and other reasons noted below, the Company has, however, elected to discontinue its efforts to commercialize
the electric power generation and charging system (the “Tesdison Technology”) it licensed from SuperGreen pursuant to the
SuperGreen License. The Company has determined that the Tesdison Technology was not functional nor was it capable of being developed
into a commercially viable product as had been represented to the Company by SuperGreen, its founder Calvin Cao, and his brother Michael
Cao, leading up to Bitech Mining entering into the SuperGreen License. In addition, the Company will temporarily pause the further development
of Intellisys-8, the Company’s planned chipset and related software that had been designed to reduce power consumption and heat
in computer systems and accelerate their computational speed due to the currently unfavorable market conditions within the cryptocurrency
market.
Nam
Viet Green Energy JSC Financing Initiative
On
May 8, 2023 we announced that we received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Nam Viet Green Energy JSC, (“Nam Viet Energy”), a
Vietnam partner to provide up to $300 million in financing for selected projects related to solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
projects.
Subject
to Nam Viet Energy’s completion of due diligence for each renewable energy sector project and execution of definitive agreements
with prospective target companies, the LOI formalizes Nam Viet Energy’s commitment to facilitate capital investment to invest or
acquire several selected projects to be hand-picked by the Company. Also, the LOI is also expected to position the Company to accelerate
its refocused business initiatives discussed above. Funding under any investment from Nam Viet Energy and its capital partners from Southeast
Asia is expected to occur within fiscal year 2023 with extension to fiscal year 2024.
Establishment
of an Energy Storage System (ESS) Sales Division
In
June 2023, the Company announced its strategic entry into the battery sales business with plans to establish an Energy Storage System
(ESS) sales division. With a focus on Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Residential, Commercial, and Industrial
ESS, Bitech aims to meet the soaring demand for ESS in the United States. The Company’s vision is to add long-duration energy storage
systems that reduce energy costs, enhance resilience, and unlock additional revenue opportunities. These solutions will be designed to
manage demand changes, maximize solar or BESS investments, enhance energy security, capture market opportunities, and support corporate
environmental, social, and corporate ESG targets.
16
Table of Contents
The
ESS sales division will be headed by Charles Rosenberry, the Company’s Vice President of Sales. Mr. Rosenberry plans to build a
unified technical salesforce and forge strategic partnerships across multiple states in the United States in order to enable us to deliver
technologically advanced energy storage products, flexible payment terms, and customized solutions to a wide range of customers, including
retail and home sales, EV charging providers, home builders, residential EPCs, renewable utilities, data centers, telecom, mobility,
and heavy energy demand consumers.
Renewable Energy Consulting
The Company established a Renewable Energy
Consulting Division empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3 social media technologies. The strategic addition of this division
is expected to strengthen the Company’s position as new player in providing knowledge-based online content in the green energy
sector. This initiative is expected to serve as a strategic base to generate revenue via a suite of AI tools to connect with online industry
leaders and visionary companies in the same sector. The application of AI in green energy-related content production, evaluation, and
data processing, driven by user behavior, is designed to create vital connections within online communities, enhance content marketing,
augment its quality, and offers the Company opportunities for sustainable revenue generation. Further, the Company has started to apply
a suite of AI and Web3 social media technologies which can be used to engage viewers on social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok and
Meta in advocating the Company’s environmental, social and governance strategy.
Nonprovisional Patent Application
In furtherance of the Company’s efforts to expand and commercialize green energy technology solutions it seeks
to incorporate into revenue generating applications in 2024, it filed a nonprovisional patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(Application No. 18/484,748) on October 11, 2023. The provisional patent relates to the field of renewable energy, healthcare, and information
technology. Specifically, it pertains to an integrated system that employs Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Robotics,
and Blockchain (Web3 & NFT) to optimize the operation of healthcare facilities using renewable energy and community-centric care delivery
systems.
Acquisition
of Bitech Mining Corporation
The
Company acquired Bitech Mining on March 31, 2022 pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement we
acquired an aggregate of 94,312,250 shares of Bitech Mining’s Common Stock representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Bitech Mining in exchange for an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. Effective June 27, 2022, each share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 53.975685 shares (an aggregate of
485,781,168) of the Company’s Common Stock upon filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number
of the Company’s authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Sellers held, in
the aggregate, approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
The
Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and Bitech Mining is considered
the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of
the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles,
the historical financial results of Bitech Mining, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical
financial results.
The
following agreements were entered into in connection with the acquisition of Bitech Mining:
Agreements
involving Peter L. Dalrymple. On March 31, 2022, the Company, Quad and Peter L. Dalrymple (“Dalrymple”), a former director
of the Company, entered into the MSA, Note Amendment and Security Agreement Amendment. See “Item 1 - Business – Acquisition
of Bitech Mining Corporation” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Disposition
of Quad Video Assets. On June 30, 2022, we completed the sale of the Quad Video Assets pursuant to the terms of the Quad Video APA and
the sale of certain accounts receivables related to our former spine pain management business pursuant to the terms of the SPIN Accounts
Receivable APA. See “Item 1 - Business – Disposition of Quad Video Assets” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March
31, 2023.
Prior
to March 31, 2022, we were engaged in the business of owning, developing and leasing the Quad Video Halo video recording system (“QVH”)
used to record medical procedures including the collection of accounts receivables related to previously provided spine injury diagnostic
services (collectively, the “QVH Business”). On June 30, 2022, we sold the assets related to the QVH Business.
Comparison
of the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2023 with the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2022.
The
Company has not generated any revenues from its primary business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $26,197 from
its legacy QVH Business for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $135,434 and $596,941 of general and administrative expenses, respectively,
compared to $240,205 and $806,955 for the same periods in 2022. General and administrative expenses have been mostly consistent during
2023 compared to 2022 as the Company seeks to move from development stage to revenue generation.
As
a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of (135,434) and ($589,941) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023,
respectively, compared to a net loss of ($240,205) and ($730,483) which included an offset of $26,197 for Other Revenue and $50,275
Net Other Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
Working
Capital
The
calculation of Working Capital provides additional information and is not defined under GAAP. We define Working Capital as current assets
less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP.
This information is intended to provide investors with information about our liquidity.
Other
companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total current liabilities of $17,080 and $11,397, respectively, and current assets
of $76,028 and $210,723, respectively, to meet our current obligations. As of September 30, 2023, we had working capital of $58,948,
a decrease of working capital of $140,378 as compared to December 31, 2022, driven primarily by cash used in operations but offset by
$245,000 of cash provided by sale of common stock.
17
Table of Contents
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operations was ($271,677) which primarily included the net loss of ($454,507)
primarily offset by $102,600 of non-cash option valuation recorded as stock compensation and services paid with common stock of $87,248.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was an aggregate of $245,000 that was a result of our sale of 11,250,000 unregistered shares
of our Common Stock to six private investors in exchange for $225,000 ($0.02 per share) in cash and 666,667 unregistered shares of
our Common Stock to one private investor for $20,000 ($0.03 per share) in cash.
We
have a history of operating losses. We have not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. We have funded
our operations primarily from equity financing. As of September 30, 2023, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient
to fund our growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of
the business, including operational expenses in connection with our efforts to become a provider
of a suite of green energy solutions. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private financing transactions. The ability
to fund operations and our growth strategy depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to
prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance
that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
On
May 8, 2023, we announced that we received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Nam Viet to provide up to $300 million in financing for
selected projects related to solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects as discussed above. While we believe that we
will be able to secure funding for future projects from Nam Viet and its capital partners pursuant to the LOI, we have not received
any funds pursuant to the LOI as of the date of this report and there can be no assurance that Nam Viet and its capital partners
will provide financing to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely
to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition, including, and without limitation, such considerations
as liquidity and capital resources.
Changes
in or Adoption of Accounting Practices
There
were no material changes in or adoption of new accounting practices during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls
and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based upon this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2023.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have also indicated that, upon evaluation, there were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting or other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls 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. In addition, 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. Because
of 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 a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments
in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented
by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any
system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations
in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

of the date of this Quarterly Report, to our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory actions material to us to which
we are a party, or have been a party to, or of which any of our property is or was the subject matter of, and no such proceedings or
actions are known by us to be contemplated except as provided below:
Due
to the misrepresentations and omissions of SuperGreen, Calvin C. Cao and Michael H. Cao, among other reasons, the Company filed a complaint
in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California on February 2, 2023 against SuperGreen, Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, Calvin
C. Cao and entities affiliated with them alleging fraud-concealment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty-duty of good faith,
breach of fiduciary duty-undivided loyalty, conversion and violation of California Penal Code Sec. 496 (the “Cao Lawsuit”).
This lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of at least $33.6 million, treble and punitive damages, imposition of a constructive trust over
the defendants assets, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, attorney’s fees and such other relief as determined by the court.
Effective
February 20, 2023, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary Bitech Mining Corporation entered into a Confidential Settlement,
Mutual Release, and Share Transfer Agreement (the “C. Cao Settlement Agreement”) with Calvin Cao (“C. Cao”) and
SuperGreen Energy Corporation (“SuperGreen,” together with C. Cao, the “C. Cao Parties”). The C. Cao Settlement
Agreement settles as to the C. Cao Parties, the Cao Lawsuit. Pursuant to the C. Cao Settlement Agreement, the C. Cao Parties terminated
the Patent & Technology Exclusive and Non-Exclusive License Agreement between Bitech Mining Corporation and SuperGreen dated January
15, 2021 as amended on January 15, 2021 and on March 26, 2022 (the “License Agreement”) and SuperGreen cancelled 51,507,749
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share issued by the Company to SuperGreen pursuant to the License Agreement.
In addition, the parties to the Settlement Agreement agreed to a mutual general release of liabilities against each other, refrain from
making any disparaging remarks about each other and the Company’s filing a dismissal with prejudice of the Cao Lawsuit as to the
C. Cao Parties. The Settlement Agreement also contains additional covenants, representations and warranties that are customary of litigation
settlement agreements.
On
March 6, 2023, Michael Cao and Linh Dao filed, without an attorney, a pro se Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.
On April 17, 2023, the court
dismissed the Cao Lawsuit without prejudice due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On April 18, 2023, we filed a complaint against
Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, B & B Investment Holding, LLC (“B & B Investment”) and Cory Thomason in the Orange County
California Superior Court containing substantially the same allegations included in the Cao Lawsuit filed in federal court (the “Cao
State Court Lawsuit”). We served Mr. Cao, Ms. Dao and B & B Investment Holding, LLC on April 26, 2023 and are continuing efforts
to serve Mr. Thomason. Defendants Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, B & B Investment (pro se) filed a Motion to Quash Service of Summons;
Motion to Dismiss or Stay Complaint (the “B & B Motions”). In response to this motion, the Company filed a Motion to Strike
B & B Investment’s motion (the “Motion to Strike”), Request for Sanctions in Amount of $2,400 and Request for Default
as to B & B Investment because it is being impermissibly represented by Michael H. Cao who is engaging in the unauthorized practice
of law as to a corporate entity. On October 13, 2023, the Court granted in part the Company’s unopposed Motion to Strike, striking
the B & B Investment Motions and ordering B &B Investment to retain an attorney no later than October 27, 2023 or be subject to
default because corporate entities are not permitted to appear in court without an attorney. The Court denied Mr. Cao’s Motion to
Quash and took Linh Dao’s Motion to Quash off calendar, thus keeping all Defendants in the case. The Court ruled that Michael Cao
already waived his rights to file such a motion by making a general appearance in the case and noted that Defendants failed to appear
at the hearing. On or about October 27, 2023, the Company’s counsel received an initial communication from an attorney attaching
responses to the Company’s complaint on behalf of Mr. Cao and B&B Investment. The Company’s counsel has not been able
to verify if this response has been properly filed with the Court by the deadline.
Mr. Cao has served initial
responses to our discovery requests, but we believe these responses are evasive and assert unnecessary objections. After attempting to
meet and confer with Mr. Cao, we filed motions to compel further responses to our discovery requests which is set for a hearing on December
8, 2023. Mr. Cao has yet to serve any opposition to these Motions to Compel. The Company intends to continue pressing forward with discovery
as to all Defendants.
The
Company intends to vigorously prosecute the Cao State Court Lawsuit. We cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit, however.
Litigation
Assessment
We
have evaluated the foregoing Cao Lawsuit to assess the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome and to estimate, if possible, the amount
of potential loss as it relates to the litigation. Based on this assessment and estimate, which includes an understanding of our intention
to vigorously prosecute the Cao State Court Lawsuit, we believe that the potential defenses of any of the remaining defendants lack merit,
however, and we cannot predict the likelihood of any recoveries by any of our claims against the defendants in this case. This assessment
and estimate is based on the information available to management as of the date of this Quarterly Report and involves a significant amount
of management judgment, including the inherent difficulty associated with assessing litigation matters in their early stages. As a result,
the actual outcome or loss may differ materially from those envisioned by the current assessment and estimate. Our failure to successfully
prosecute, defend or settle the Cao State Court Lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, revenue and
profitability and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
