ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation was performed by the Company’s
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”),
as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the
CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2024, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application
of SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal
executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
●
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets;
●
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
●
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered
by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, as described below.
We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:
Insufficient Resources: We
have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
Inadequate Segregation of Duties :
We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Lack of Audit Committee: We
do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required
internal controls and procedures.
We are committed to improving the internal controls
and will (1) consider using third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities,
(2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties
until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
We have discussed the material weakness noted above
with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood
that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation
report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report
was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to
provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting.

GOVERNANCE
Identification of directors and executive officers .
The names and ages of our directors and executive

are elected annually by the stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their successors are duly

Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer
February 28, 2020
Brian P. Conway, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim
Chief Financial Officer, brings 20 years of proven success in marketing and business development for both private and publicly traded
companies. Starting off in database management and sales for Venture Direct on Madison Avenue, he crossed over to Wall Street as a co-founder
of Waypoint Capital Partners. During this time, he was responsible for national sales, marketing, business and product development, national
account customers, and new business relations with international and US companies while creating awareness for public companies with many
of the nation’s top public relations firms. From October 1, 2014, through August 31, 2019, Mr. Conway was the CEO, CFO and Director
of Ngen Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a/ Liberated Solutions, Inc.). His relationships and experience with investment bankers, non-dilutive
financing, and public relations should be instrumental in moving the Company forward.
Family Relationships
None
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, executive officer, significant employee,
or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.
Corporate Governance
Our Board has not established any committees, including
an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions
of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment
of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more form than substance.
Given our relative size and lack of directors’
and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near
future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members
of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
As with most small, early-stage companies until such
time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a greater revenue base, and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors’
and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our
Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention
that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted
on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent, and we are not currently otherwise subject to
any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor
are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our Board.
Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management
to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the Code of Ethics supplement, but do not replace, any other code
of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.
18
Under the Code of Ethics, all members of the senior
financial management shall:
●
Act honestly and ethically in the performance of their duties at our company,
●
Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships,
●
Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications by our company,
●
Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments and other private and public regulatory agencies that effect the conduct of our business and our financial reporting,
●
Act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing the member’s independent judgment to be subordinated
●
Respect the confidentiality of information in the course of work, except when authorized or legally obtained to disclosure such information,
●
Share knowledge and maintain skills relevant to carrying out the member’s duties within our company,
●
Proactively promote ethical behavior as a responsible partner among peers and colleagues in the work environment and community,
●
Achieve responsible use of and control over all assets and resources of our company entrusted to the member, and
●
Promptly bring to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer any information concerning (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operating of internal controls which could adversely affect to record, process, summarize and report financial data or (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting or internal controls.
Director Independence
None of the members of our Board of Directors qualifies
as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence
definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our
employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition,
our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board,
would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination
is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board would have reviewed and discussed information
provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate
to us and our management.
In performing the functions of the audit committee,
our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board,
among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain
or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review
the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for
any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s
financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement
of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results
of our quarterly financial statements.
Our board as a whole will consider executive officer
compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our board as a whole oversees our compensation
policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive
officers, if any, and administers our equity incentive and stock option plans, if any.
Each of our directors participates in the consideration
of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if
submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the
board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate
is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.
Compliance with Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the
Company’s equity securities, and certain other persons to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5
with the SEC, and to furnish the Company with copies of the forms. The Company does not believe that all of its directors, executive officers
and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all such filing requirements during 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Ozop
Energy Solutions, Inc.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2024, and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as
of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note
2 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $224,868,641 and a working
capital deficit of $32,232,815. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in default of $19,925,000 plus accrued interest on debt instruments
due to non-payment upon maturity dates. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters for
the current period.

OZOP ENERGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
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.
On July 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Power Conversion Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PCTI”),
and Catherine Chis (“Chis”), PCTI’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and its sole shareholder. Under the
terms of the SPA, the Company acquired one thousand ( 1,000 ) shares of PCTI, which represents all of the outstanding shares of PCTI, from
Chis in exchange for the issuance of 47,500 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, 18,667 shares of the Company’s
Series D Preferred Stock, and 500 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock to Chis.
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 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 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.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 224,868,641 and a working capital deficit of $ 32,232,815 .
As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in default of $ 19,925,000 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.
F- 8
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 May 2, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity
Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)
with GHS. Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, GHS has agreed to provide the Company with up to $ 10,000,000 of funding upon effectiveness
of a registration statement on Form S-1. Pursuant to the effectiveness of the registration statement on July 19, 2023, the Company has
the right to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of our common stock based on the investment amount specified
in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each put notice will not exceed two hundred
fifty percent (250%) of the average of the daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading
days preceding the put, so long as such amount does not exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Pursuant to the Financing
Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase, and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s common
stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common
stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s
common stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the date on which the applicable put is delivered to GHS. No put will
be made in an amount equalling less than $10,000 or greater than $750,000. Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier
of twenty-four (24) months after the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 or the date on which GHS has purchased an
aggregate of $ 10,000,000 worth of put shares. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold to GHS 587,432,649 shares of common
stock and received $ 1,230,043 net of offering costs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold to GHS 146,517,693 shares
of common stock for proceeds of $ 172,117 net of offering costs.
On January 26, 2024, the Company receive a Notice
of Effectiveness for the sale of up to One Billion ( 1,000,000,000 ) shares of the Company’s common stock to GHS, pursuant to the
May 2, 2023, Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement. The terms and conditions are similar to the terms and conditions of
the July 19, 2023, registration statement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold to GHS 1,000,000,000 shares of common
stock and received $ 760,160 , net of offering costs.
On July 30, 2024, the Company receive a Notice of
Effectiveness for the sale of up to Two Billion ( 2,000,000,000 ) shares of the Company’s common stock to GHS, pursuant to the May
2, 2023, Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement. The terms and conditions are similar to the terms and conditions of the
July 19, 2023, registration statement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold to GHS 457,990,649 shares of common stock
and received $ 280,094 , net of offering costs. From January 1, 2025, through April 15, 2025, the Company sold GHS 1,364,594,180 shares
of common stock for proceeds of $ 295,965 net of offering costs.
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 5
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.
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.
F- 9
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.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries Ozop Energy Systems,
Inc. (“OES”), Ozop Capital Partners, Inc. (“Ozop Capital”), Ozop Engineering and Design, Inc. (“OED), Automated
Room Controls, Inc. (“ARC”), Power Conversion Technologies, Inc. (“PCTI”), Ozop LLC, Ozop HK and Spinus, LLC (“Spinus”).
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Cash is maintained at a major financial institution. Accounts held at U.S. financial institutions are insured by the FDIC up to $ 250,000 .
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the
extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain
times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024, and 2023. The amount in excess of the
FDIC insurance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $ 223,000 and $ 639,000 , respectively. The Company has not experienced
any losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of this major financial institution, that the credit risk
with regard to these deposits is not significant.
Sales Concentration and credit risk
Following is a summary of customers who accounted
for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, and their accounts receivable
balance as of December 31, 2024:

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.
As of December 31, 2024, two customers represented
approximately 60 % and 22 %, respectively of our outstanding accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, three customers represented approximately
42 %, 32 %, and 15 %, respectively of our outstanding accounts receivable.
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 $ 134,025 , and $ 1,495,978 , respectively,
to the historical cost of inventory purchases for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. Finished goods inventories as of December
31, 2024, and 2023, were $ 10,673 and $ 1,089,979 , respectively.
Purchase concentration
OES purchases finished renewable energy products from
its’ suppliers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made no purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there
was one supplier that accounted for 100 % .
Property, plant, and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation
is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The Company reviews property and equipment for potential
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated
useful lives of property and equipment is as follows:
SCHEDULE OF USEFUL LIFE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ASSETS
Building
10 - 25 years
Office furniture and equipment
3 - 5 years
Warehouse equipment
7 years
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC 606, from the commercial sales of products or providing services 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 product
sales or upon delivery of service to the customer for installation services. Any advance payments are recorded as current liability until
revenue is recognized.
For product sales 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. For the periods covered herein, we did not have post shipment
obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection, or
other similar privileges.
For installation services contracts with customers,
the Company invoices the customer upon completion of the job and recognizes revenue based on the invoiced amount.
The following table disaggregates our revenue by major
source for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023:

Advertising and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs
as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded advertising and marketing expenses of $ 40,256 and $ 64,616 ,
respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reduced the amount of lead lists it was acquiring as well as reduced
the amount spent on promotional items.
Research and Development
Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified
as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded
$ 183,897 and $ 6,685 of research and development expenses, respectively.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion
options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion
options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria.
The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly
and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded
derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings
as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative
instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when
it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company
records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based
upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of this note transaction and the effective
conversion price embedded in this note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their
stated date of redemption.
The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible
debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are
removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as
a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial
Statements: Discontinued Operations , a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be
reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s
operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-10. In the period in which
the component meets held-for-sale or discontinued operations criteria the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and
noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing
operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as
components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations.
On September 1, 2022, the BOD of the Company authorized
the filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding which meets the definition of a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of PCTI
are reported as net income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2024, and 2023. 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 and certain notes
payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table represents the Company’s
derivative instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, for each fair value hierarchy

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.
F- 13
Operating lease ROU assets
represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value
of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company
used an incremental borrowing rate of 7.5 % , for the existing lease, based on the information available at the adoption date in determining
the present value of future payments. Operating lease expense is recognized pursuant to on a straight-line basis over the lease term and
is included in rent in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and
liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized.
Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only
recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the
largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits
from uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Segment Policy
The Company uses the “management approach”
in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s
chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our chief executive officer, for making operating decisions and assessing
performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision
maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined
that the Company has one operating segment (renewable energy) as defined by ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance
with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net 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 December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into approximately 12,715,043,534
and 9,749,983,678 , respectively, shares of common stock. The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of December
31, 2024, and 2023:

The potentially dilutive shares included in the above table are limited whereby the conversion or exercise cannot result in the beneficial owner holding more than 4.99 % of the then outstanding shares of common stock subsequent to any conversion or exercise. These shares were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position.
F- 14
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time-to-time new accounting pronouncements are
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the
Company’s accounting and reporting. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that other recently issued accounting pronouncements
and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting
or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements
by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported
measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified
as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance
and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU retrospectively on December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07
did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet
adopted
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosures primarily
through enhanced disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation items, and disaggregation of income (loss) from continuing operations, income
tax expense (benefit) and income taxes paid, net disclosures by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, among others. ASU 2023-09 is
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the
impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on the consolidated financial statements and its plan for adoption, including the adoption date and
transition method.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,
“Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation
of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities.
ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying
any relevant income statement expense caption. The prescribed categories include, among other things, purchases of inventory, employee
compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Additionally, entities must disclose the total amount of selling expenses
and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance
can be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating
the provisions of this ASU.

the balance of a past-due 15 % convertible note issued by the Company on September 13, 2017. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the outstanding
principal balance of this note was $ 25,000 .
F- 15
NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company determined the conversion feature of the
convertible notes, which all contain variable conversion rates, represented an embedded derivative since the notes were convertible into
a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the notes are not considered to be conventional debt under ASC 815 and the embedded
conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability.
At any given time, certain of the Company’s
embedded conversion features on debt and outstanding warrants may be treated as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes under ASC
815-40 due to insufficient authorized shares to settle these outstanding contracts. Pursuant to SEC staff guidance that permits a sequencing
approach based on the use of ASC 815-15-25 which provides guidance for contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The sequencing
approach may be applied in one of two ways: contracts may be evaluated based on (1) earliest issuance date or (2) latest maturity date.
Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon the latest maturity date.
The Company valued the derivative liabilities at December
31, 2024, and 2023, at $ 210,493 and $ 1,216,078 , respectively. For the derivative liability associated with convertible notes, the Company
used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, risk free interest rates
at 4.24 % and 5.26 % , respectively, and volatility of 101 % and 48 %, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued
60,000,000 warrants in conjunction with the extension of a note payable. The Company recorded a discount to notes payable of $ 113,921
with the offset to derivative liabilities for the initial fair value of the warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following assumptions were utilized in the initial Black-Scholes valuation of issued warrants during the year ended December 31, 2023,
risk free interest rate of 4.72 % , volatility of 72 %, and an exercise price of $ 0.0019 .
The following assumptions were utilized in the Black-Scholes
valuation of outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, risk free interest rate of 4.18 % to 4.25 %, and 4.3 % to 5.26 %, respectively,
volatility of 121 % to 146 %, and 48 % to 99 %, respectively, and exercise prices of $ 0.0019 to $ 0.008 , and $ 0.0019 to $ 0.15 , respectively.

Legal matters
We know of no material, existing or pending legal
proceedings against our Company.
We were 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.
On April 4, 2024, the Company executed a Settlement
Agreement (the “Settlement”) with its former employees and Your Home Solutions Corp (“YHS”). YHS and the former
employees were all defendants (the “Defendants”) in the Complaint. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, the Defendants
paid the Company $ 1,125,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024. In exchange, the Company agreed to release all Defendants from the
lawsuit and to deliver 11 containers of solar panels. Upon the receipt of the $ 1,125,000 and the delivery of the 11 containers, and pursuant
to the Settlement, the Company recorded sales of $ 728,640 , a credit of $ 125,000 to legal expense and for the year ended December 31, 2024,
recorded a gain on litigation settlement of $ 271,360 .

as PJN returned 490,000 shares, representing their 49 % ownership. As of that date, Ozop Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the accumulative noncontrolling interest is $ 784,777 , respectively.
NOTE 13 - OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND
OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES
On
April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a five-year 5
lease which began on June 1, 2021, for approximately 8,100 square feet of office and warehouse space in Carlsbad, California, expiring
May 31, 2026. Initial lease payments of $ 13,148 begin on June 1, 2021, and increase by approximately 2.4 % annually thereafter. The interest
rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 7.5 %, as the interest rate implicit in most
of our leases is not readily determinable. During the year ended December 31, 2021, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $ 702,888 for this lease. 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.
F- 21
In adopting Topic 842, the
Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior
conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight
or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected
not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less.

NOTE 14 – 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 from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2024, and 2023. On October 3, 2022, PCTI filed a Voluntary Petition for Non- Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy. On November 30, 2022,
the Trustee filed a Notice of Abandonment of Estate Property, as it is over encumbered by the secured creditors. No objections were filed,
and as such the inventory and equipment is now considered abandoned to the secured creditors to do with what they wish. In March 2023,
the Trustee declared this a no-asset case and closed the bankruptcy.

The results of operations of this component, for all
periods, are separately reported as “discontinued operations”. A reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740,
Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and
the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation
allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely- than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management
must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to allow for the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical
and anticipated future income, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for
realizability. Accordingly, there is a full valuation allowance provided against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December
31, 2024, and 2023.
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes
determined at the U.S. statutory rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favourably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods and does not believe
that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties
relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, and no provision for
interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.
NOTE 16 – LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH EARLY TERMINATION
OF VENDOR AGREEMENT
In November 2022, the Company issued a purchase order
for 80 containers of solar panels to VSUN Solar USA, Inc. (“VSUN”), based solely on an order the Company received from a customer
at that time. The Company had remitted a deposit to VSUN of $ 2,395,768 in November 2022. Because of market conditions that began to deteriorate
in early 2023 in the residential solar PV market and VSUN’s refusal to negotiate a price that would enable Ozop to realize a profit
on the order, the customer eventually cancelled the order in June 2023. VSUN had already shipped 40 containers out of total 80 containers
to the US and the remaining 40 containers of products have not been produced by September 30, 2023. The general terms and conditions of
the purchase order allowed Ozop 30 days free storage, and to be charged storage fees after the 30 days.
On November 6, 2023, the Company and VSUN entered
into a Termination Agreement (the “TA”) after negotiation. Pursuant to the TA, the parties agreed to cancel the remaining
unpaid and/or not fully executed purchase orders the Company issued to VSUN, and to apply part of the vendor deposits (totaling $ 2,525,102
paid to VSUN) to unpaid storage fees of $ 556,884 and to a termination fee of $ 1,198,198 . The combined amount of storage fees and termination
fee of $ 1,755,082 is classified separately as Loss associated with early termination of vendor agreement on the consolidated statements
of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The remaining balance of the deposit of $ 770,020 was received on November 17, 2023.
In addition, VSUN shall retain the above 40 containers of products in storage as a result of the early termination. The Company and VSUN
shall not have any further obligations under the purchase orders which shall be terminated, and the Company shall have no liability to
VSUN and VSUN shall have no liability to the Company as a result of or in connection with this termination.
NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From January 1, 2025, through April 15, 2025, the
Company sold GHS an aggregate of 1,364,594,180 shares of common stock for proceeds of $ 295,965 net of offering costs.
On March 4, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “2025 Amendment”) to increase the authorized capital
stock of the Company to 16,000,000,000 shares, of which 15,990,000,000 shall be authorized as common shares and 10,000,000 shall be authorized
as preferred shares. The Company filed the 2025 Amendment with the State of Nevada on April 10, 2025 (see Note 11).
On
April 11, 2025, the Company entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (the “2025 Financing Agreement”) and Registration
Rights Agreement (the “2025 Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS. Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, GHS has
agreed to provide the Company with up to $ 10,000,000 of funding upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. Pursuant
to the effectiveness of the registration statement the Company has the right to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase
shares of our common stock based on the investment amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be
entitled to put to GHS in each put notice will not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the average of the daily trading dollar
volume of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put, so long as such amount does not exceed
4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Pursuant to the 2025 Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted
to purchase, and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s common stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial
ownership equaling more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty
percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading
days preceding the date on which the applicable put is delivered to GHS. No put will be made in an amount equalling less than $10,000
or greater than $1,000,000. Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the effectiveness
of the registration statement on Form S-1 or the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $10,000,000 worth of put shares.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through
the date the financial statements were issued. The Company has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure
or recognition in the financial statements, except as stated herein.
