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 unaudited consolidated financial statements, as well as information
relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,”
“anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,”
“continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports
or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date
hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
While
our financial statements are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditors have raised a substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future
results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the
United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments,
and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments,
and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial
statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated 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
February 25, 2022, the Company formed Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. OED was formed to become a premier engineering and lighting control design firm. OED offers product and design support
for lighting and solar projects with a focus on fast lead times and technical support. OED and our partners are able to offer the resources
needed for lighting, solar and electrical design projects. OED will provide customers systems to coordinate the understanding of electrical
usage with the relationship between lighting design and lighting controls, by developing more efficient ecofriendly designs. We work
with architects, engineers, facility managers, electrical contractors and engineers.
On
June 11, 2024, the Company formed Automated Room Controls, Inc. (“ARC”) a Nevada corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. ARC was created to address a significant need in the lighting controls industry. ARC’s personnel has extensive
experience in lighting controls since 2012, bringing together IT specialists and lighting control experts. We believe that easy deployment
and creative applications can transform lighting controls into essential tools for enhancing the utility and ambiance of any space. The
Company’s mission is to deliver cutting-edge technology that simplifies complex control needs, ensuring seamless integration and
exceptional performance.
OES
operates 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.
Equipment
Distributor: In April 2021, the Company signed a five-year lease (beginning June 1, 2021) of approximately 8,100 SF in California,
for office and warehouse space to support the sales and distribution of our west coast operations. On February 22, 2023, with an effective
date of March 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Sublease for a Single Subleasee Agreement (the “Sublease”) with the landlord
and a third party for the office and warehouse in Carlsbad California. Pursuant to the Sublease agreement, the third party will be responsible
for all of the Company’s lease obligations through May 31, 2026, the lease termination date.
Modular
Energy Distribution System: The NeoVolt ™ System comprises 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. Our
NeoVolt TM System offers (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.
The
Company has developed a business plan for NeoVolt™, a scalable battery storage solution that aims to relieve the stress on existing
grid infrastructure by providing distributed energy storage. With the first stage of engineered technical drawings completed, we are
advancing to stage two and preparing to construct the initial prototype or proof of concept (PoC). NeoVolt™ is designed with advanced
features, including automatic adoption of connected devices and dynamic load balancing through a master-slave configuration. These capabilities
enable NeoVolt™ to seamlessly integrate with and manage energy flows across multiple devices. Furthermore, the PoC is contingent
upon recent advancements in EV charging and discharging standardizations, including on-board inverters and bi-directional capabilities,
to ensure compatibility and efficiency in both residential and commercial applications.
OED
specializes in lighting commissioning services. On September 27, 2024, OED signed an agreement with Leviton Manufacturing Co, Inc., to
serve as a field service technician for their advanced lighting control systems.
Ozop
Plus markets vehicle service contracts (VSC’s”) for electric vehicles (EV’s) that offer consumers to be able to purchase
additional months and miles above the manufacturer’s warranty and to also bring added value to EV owners by utilizing our partnerships
and strengths in the energy market to offer unique and innovative services. Among EV owners’ concerns are the EV battery repair
and replacement costs, range anxiety, environmental responsibilities, roadside assistance, and the accelerated wear on additional components
that EV vehicles experience. Management believes that the Ozop Plus marketed VSC’s will give “peace of mind” to the
EV buyer. On October 23, 2024, Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. entered into an agreement with Empire Auto Protect (“Empire”).
Under the agreement, Empire will white label Royal Administration’s Fully Charged VSC, to be marketed as Empire Plus. OZOP Plus
will be ceded the battery premium portion of all of the Empire Plus VSC’s contracted.

The
increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, is primarily a result of the amortization expense of

expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
accompanying unaudited 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $236,064,897 and a working capital deficit of $40,724,721. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in default
of $18,714,423 plus accrued interest on debt instruments due to non-payment upon maturity dates or failure to comply with the
loan’s contractual payment terms. Current cash balances are not sufficient to satisfy obligations currently due. Management is
exploring capital raising options which may or may not become available on a timely basis to meet the obligations that are past due.
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 consolidated 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 not be sufficient to provide the working capital needed for our current
business, and 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 on terms favorable to the Company or at all. 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 in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements filed herein.

For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, we primarily funded our business operations with the existing cash on hand as of January 1, 2026,

of $40,993,623, compared to current assets of $268,902, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $40,724,721. The current liabilities
are comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party liabilities, convertible debt, derivative liabilities, lease obligations,
deferred liability, notes payable, and liabilities of discontinued operations.

and depreciation of $52,539, and stock based compensation expense of $48,000. Net changes of $886,398 in operating assets and liabilities
reduced the cash used in operating activities.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The preparation
of its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s
unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various
other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and
assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our
significant accounting policies are described in more details in Note 3 to our financial statements appearing in “Part II—Item
7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC
on May14, 2026. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain
of these policies as critical. The SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the
Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important
to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or
complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our management
believes that given current facts and circumstances, there are no material estimates or assumptions with levels of subjectivity and judgement
necessary to be considered critical accounting policies and estimates. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies
and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
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.
