TABLE OF CONTENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID 6901) 21 Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 22 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 23 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 24 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 25 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 26 20 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Bitech Technologies Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bitech Technologies Corporation (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities, therefore, the Company has stated that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Going Concern As described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses each year from inception through December 31, 2023. We determined the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to the estimation and uncertainty regarding the Company’s future cash flows and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions in estimating these cash flows. Our audit procedures related to the Company’s assertion on its ability to continue as a going concern included the following, among others: We reviewed the Company’s working capital and liquidity ratios, operating expenses, and uses and sources of cash used in management’s assessment of whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date. This testing included inquiries with management, comparison of prior period forecasts to actual results, consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, the Company’s financing arrangements in place as of the report date, market and industry factors and consideration of the Company’s relationships with its financing partners. /s/ Fortune CPA, Inc We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Bitech Technologies Corporation (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 plans to develop Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, commercial and residential renewable energy solutions, enterprise utility services, public service engagements, and other renewable energy initiatives. We plan to pursue these innovative energy technologies through research and development, technology integration, planned acquisitions of other early stage green energy development projects and plans to become a grid-balancing operator using BESS solutions and applying new green technologies as a technology enabler in the green energy sector. Our team has identified two highly competitive battery energy storage suppliers who have expressed interest in establishing partnerships with us, as we seek to integrate their products into projects that we identify, including grid-balancing BESS projects we plan to pursue following the Business Combination with Bridgelink discussed below. In addition, 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 innovative, scalable energy system solutions with technological focuses on smart grid, Home Energy Management System (HEMS), Building Energy Management System (BEMS), City Energy Management System (CEMS), energy storage, and EV infrastructure. 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 shall automatically convert into 53.975685 shares (an aggregate of approximately 485,781,300) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Company Common Stock”) upon filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common stock so that there are a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock authorized but unissued to permit a full conversion of all the Series A Preferred Stock . Effective as of June 27, 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 485,781,168 shares of Company Common Stock following the June 27, 2022 filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares. 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”). On June 30, 2022, we sold the assets related to the QVH Business. NOTE 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management: 26 Going Concern Since our inception, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 2 million as of December 31, 2023. Presently, we are trying to limit all operating expenses as much as possible. If in the future we decide to increase our service development, marketing efforts and/or brand building activities, we will need to increase our operating expenses and our general and administrative functions to support such growth in operations. No such growth in operations is presently planned. We are also actively seeking a private company with which to enter into a strategic business transaction, including without limitation a merger; however, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of our efforts. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to successfully merge with a financially viable company, or our ability to obtain additional capital from borrowing and/or selling securities, as needed, to fund our operations. There is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained or that it can be obtained on terms that are favorable to us and our existing stockholders. Any expectation of future profitability is likely dependent upon our ability to successfully merge with another company, of which there can be no assurances. We were not involved in any procedures in 2023 and have no plans to do so in the future. The previous service revenues earned has resulted in longer settlement times, which has created a slowdown in cash collections. Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bitech Technologies Corporation. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quad Video Halo, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. 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. We have 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 revenue is 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 we have an unconditional right to consideration when we have 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. 27 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 December 31, 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did no t recognize any 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. 28 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, 2023, 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 years ended December 31, 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. The following were potentially outstanding dilutive securities during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, instruments: December 31, 2023 - 37,000,000 Potentially Dilutive Options December 31, 2022 – No Potentially Dilutive Options 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. 29 NOTE 3.

We have granted non-qualified stock options to employees and contractors. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by our Board of Directors. Options may be exercised up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by us upon grant. Vesting schedules vary by grant, with some fully vesting immediately upon grant to others that ratably vest over a period of time up to five years. Standard vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship unless alternate terms are specified at grant. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. At December 31, 2023, we had approximately $ 340,707 unrecognized stock-based compensation. 30 Stock option transactions during 2023 and 2022 were as follows: SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTION TRANSACTIONS 2023 2022 Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Outstanding at Beginning of Year 5,000,000 $ 0.07 - $ - Granted 42,000,000 0.03 5,000,000 0.07 Exercised - - - - Forfeited or Cancelled ( 5,000,000 ) 0.03 - - Outstanding at End of Year 42,000,000 0.04 5,000,000 0.07 Options Exercisable at Year-End 17,250,000 0.03 - - Weighted-Average Fair Value of Options Granted During the Year $ 0.01 $ 0.02 Information with respect to stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2023 is as follows: SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTIONS OUTSTANDING AND EXERCISABLE Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Number Outstanding at December 31, 2023 Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life Weighted- Average Exercise Price Number Exercisable at December 31, 2023 Weighted- Average Exercise Price $ 0.025 - $ 0.07 42,000,000 9.2 $ 0.04 17,250,000 $ 0.03 NOTE 5.
