Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2025.

 

The unaudited 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

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

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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was approximately $4,000, and $223,000, 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

Sales Concentration and credit risk

 

Following is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, and their accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2025:

 

   Sales % Three Months Ended March 31, 2025    Sales % Three Months Ended March 31, 2024   Accounts receivable balance March 31, 2025 
Customer A   44%    -   $14,875 
Customer B   28%    -   $- 
Customer C   20%    67%  $7,200 
Customer D   -     10%  $- 

 

Accounts Receivable

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 March 31, 2025, four customers represented 37%, 31%, 15% and 10%, respectively of our outstanding accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, two customers represented approximately 60% and 22%, respectively of our outstanding accounts receivable.

 

Inventory

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. Finished goods inventories as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were $11,216 and $10,673, respectively. There are no inventory markdowns for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

 

Purchase concentration

Purchase concentration

 

ARC began purchasing inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2025. OES purchases finished renewable energy products from its’ suppliers. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, OES made no purchases.

 

Property, plant, and equipment

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:

 

Building   10-25 years
Office furniture and equipment   3-5 years
Warehouse equipment   7 years

 

Revenue Recognition

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 three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024:

 

   2025   2024 
   Three months ended March 31, 
   2025   2024 
Sourced and distributed products  $3,024   $75,222 
OED Installations   39,233    176,500 
Total  $42,257   $251,722 

 

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded advertising and marketing expenses of $15,824 and $15,671, respectively.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded $24,668 and $2,094 of research and development expenses, respectively.

 

Convertible Instruments

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

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 unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. For additional information, see Note 14- Discontinued Operations.

 

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

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.

 

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

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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, for each fair value hierarchy level:

 

March 31, 2025  Derivative Liabilities   Total 
Level I  $-   $- 
Level II  $-   $- 
Level III  $98,734   $98,734 

 

December 31, 2024  Derivative Liabilities   Total 
Level I  $-   $- 
Level II  $-   $- 
Level III  $210,493   $210,493 

 

Leases

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases under ASU 2016-02 (see Note 13), applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. We allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

 

Operating lease ROU assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate of 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

 

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

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

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 March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into approximately 21,110,686,009 and 10,280,235,000, respectively, shares of common stock. The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of March 31, 2025, and 2024:

 

   March 31,
2025
   March 31,
2024
 
Convertible preferred stock (1)   12,329,766,446    8,732,725,692 
Unexercised common stock purchase warrants (1)   732,024,518    807,024,518 
Convertible notes payable (1)   471,429,292    72,738,215 
Promissory notes payable (1)   7,577,465,753    667,746,575 
Total   21,110,686,009    10,280,235,000 

 

(1) 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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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.
