NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bitech
Technologies Corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware
on March 4, 1998. In connection with the Company’s planned expansion of its business following the completion of the acquisition
of Bitech Mining Corporation, a Wyoming corporation (“Bitech Mining”), it filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April
29, 2022 to change its corporate name to Bitech Technologies Corporation.
We
have refocused our business development plans as we seek to position ourselves as a global technology solution enabler dedicated to providing
a suite of green energy solutions with plans to develop Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, commercial and residential renewable
energy solutions, enterprise utility services, public service engagements, and other renewable energy initiatives. We plan to pursue
these innovative energy technologies through research and development, technology integration, planned acquisitions of other early stage
green energy development projects and plans to become a grid-balancing operator using BESS solutions and applying new green technologies
as a technology enabler in the green energy sector. Our team has identified two highly competitive battery energy storage suppliers who
have expressed interest in establishing partnerships with us, as we seek to integrate their products into projects that we identify,
including grid-balancing BESS projects we plan to pursue following the Business Combination with Bridgelink discussed in Note 6 – Subsequent Events. In addition,
we are seeking business partnerships with defensible technology innovators and renewable energy providers to facilitate investments,
provide new market entries toward emerging-growth regions and implement innovative, scalable energy system solutions with technological
focuses on smart grid, Home Energy Management System (HEMS), Building Energy Management System (BEMS), City Energy Management System
(CEMS), energy storage, and EV infrastructure.
The
Company acquired Bitech Mining on March 31, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) through a share exchange pursuant to a Share Exchange
Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, Bitech Mining, each of Bitech Mining’s shareholders
(each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), and Benjamin Tran, solely in his capacity as Sellers’
Representative (“Sellers’ Representative”). The transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement is hereinafter
referred to as the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange Agreement provides that the Company will acquire from the Sellers,
an aggregate of 94,312,250 shares of Bitech Mining’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, representing 100% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Bitech Mining (collectively, the “Bitech Mining Shares”). In consideration of the Bitech Mining
Shares, the Company issued to the Sellers an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each Bitech Mining Share shall be entitled
to receive 0.09543 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into 53.975685
shares (an aggregate of approximately 485,781,300) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Company Common Stock”) upon
filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common stock so that
there are a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock authorized but unissued to permit a full conversion of all the Series
A Preferred Stock. Effective as of June 27, 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 485,781,168 shares of Company
Common Stock following the June 27, 2022 filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s
authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Sellers held, in the aggregate,
approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
The
Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and Bitech Mining is considered
the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of
the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles,
the historical financial results of Bitech Mining, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical
financial results.
Prior
to March 31, 2022, we were engaged in the business of owning, developing and leasing the Quad Video Halo video recording system (“QVH”)
used to record medical procedures including the collection of accounts receivables related to previously provided spine injury diagnostic
services (collectively, the “QVH Business”). On June 30, 2022, we sold the assets related to the QVH Business.
NOTE
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:
Going
Concern
Since our inception, our expenses
substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.2
million as of March 31, 2024. Presently, we are trying to limit all operating expenses
as much as possible. If in the future we decide to increase our service development, marketing efforts and/or brand building
activities, we will need to increase our operating expenses and our general and administrative functions to support such growth in
operations. No such growth in operations is presently planned. We are also actively seeking to acquire a private company with which
to enter into a strategic business transaction, including without limitation a merger; however, we cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of our efforts. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to successfully merge with a financially viable
company, or our ability to obtain additional capital from borrowing and/or selling securities, as needed, to fund our operations.
There is no assurance that additional capital can be obtained or that it can be obtained on terms that are favorable to us and our
existing stockholders. Any expectation of future profitability is likely dependent upon our ability to successfully merge with
another company, of which there can be no assurances.
We
were not involved in any procedures in 2024 and have no plans to do so in the future. The previous service revenues earned has resulted
in longer settlement times, which has created a slowdown in cash collections.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bitech Technologies Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Bitech Mining Corporation and Quad Video Halo, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes
principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s
contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
We
have assessed the impact of the guidance by performing the following five steps analysis:
Step
1: Identify the contract
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price
Step
5: Recognize revenue
Substantially
all of the Company’s revenue is derived from leasing equipment. The Company considers a signed lease agreement to be a contract
with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between signed agreements and satisfaction of
the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year, and virtually all of the Company’s contracts are short-term. The
Company recognizes revenue when services are provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company
expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with
customers upon delivery of the services. The Company does not have any contract assets since we have an unconditional right to consideration
when we have satisfied its performance obligation and payment from customers is not contingent on a future event. Generally, payment
is due from customers immediately at the invoice date, and the contracts do not have significant financing components nor variable consideration.
There are no returns and there is no allowances. All of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied
at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as a price per unit. All estimates are based on the Company’s
historical experience, complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company’s best judgment at the time the estimate
is made.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximates
fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the
financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore
cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost,
which approximates fair value. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We
have not experienced any losses on these deposits.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the respective accounts, and the net difference, less any amount realized from the disposition, is recorded in operations.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Costs of significant improvements and renewals are capitalized.
Property
and equipment consist of computers and equipment and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three years, using the straight-line
method.
Long-Lived
Assets
We
periodically review and evaluate long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may
not be recoverable. In performing our review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of
such assets and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the related assets, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment
loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of such assets over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash
flows.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Assets
that expose us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable arise from a diversified customer
base and, therefore, we believe the concentration of credit risk is minimal. We evaluate the creditworthiness of customers before any
services are provided. We record a discount based on the nature of our business, collection trends, and an assessment of our ability
to fully realize amounts billed for services. We have no accounts receivable to warrant any allowance at December 31, 2023 or December
31, 2022.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and
directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of
share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to
vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We use the
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards. During the three month periods ended March 31,
2024 and 2023, we recognized stock based compensation expenses of $94,300
and $64,000,
respectively.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized
based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax basis. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred
tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.
Uncertain
Tax Positions
Accounting
Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 740-10-25 defines the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being
recognized in the financial statements as “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood of occurrence greater than fifty percent).
Under ASC Topic 740-10-25, the recognition threshold is met when an entity concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical
merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Those tax positions failing to qualify
for initial recognition are recognized in the first interim period in which they meet the more likely than not standard or are resolved
through negotiation or litigation with the taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations. De-recognition of a tax
position that was previously recognized occurs when an entity subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more likely
than not threshold of being sustained.
We
are subject to ongoing tax exposures, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur additional tax
expense based upon the outcomes of such matters. When applicable, we will adjust tax expense to reflect our ongoing assessments of such
matters which require judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective rate as well as impact operating results.
Under
ASC Topic 740-10-25, only the portion of the liability that is expected to be paid within one year is classified as a current
liability. As a result, liabilities expected to be resolved without the payment of cash (e.g. resolution due to the expiration of
the statute of limitations) or are not expected to be paid within one year are not classified as current. Estimated interest and
penalties are recognized as income tax expense and tax credits as a reduction in income tax expense. For the three months ended
March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized no
estimated interest or penalties as income tax expense.
Legal
Costs and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other
matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.
If
a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we recognize an expense for the estimated loss. If we have
the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, we make a separate assessment of recoverability and reduce
the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.
Net
Loss per Share
Basic
and diluted net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods
presented. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options and warrants have
been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations, because all such securities
were anti-dilutive. The net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the periods.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) and, instead, requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the
reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU No. 2016-13
amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to amend the effective date for entities that had not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-13.
Accordingly, the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application
permitted in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments of ASU No. 2016-13 should be applied through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Management is currently
evaluating the future impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

4. INCENTIVE AND NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN
As
of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 52,000,000,
and 42,000,000
options outstanding, respectively.
We

price no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by our Board of Directors. Options may be
exercised up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by us upon grant. Vesting schedules vary
by grant, with some fully vesting immediately upon grant to others that ratably vest over a period of time up to five years. Standard
vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship unless alternate terms are specified
at grant. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options
is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. At December 31, 2023, we had approximately
$340,707 unrecognized stock-based compensation.

5. ACQUISITION OF BITECH MINING
On
March 31, 2022, the Company acquired 94,312,250
shares of Bitech Mining’s Common Stock
representing 100%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Bitech Mining in exchange for 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.
The
Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and Bitech Mining is considered
the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of
the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles,
the historical financial results of Bitech Mining, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical
financial results.
The
Combination of the Company and Bitech Mining is considered a business acquisition and the method used to present the transaction is the
acquisition method. The acquisition method is a method of accounting for a merger of two businesses. The tangible assets and liabilities
and operations of the acquired business were combined at their market value of the acquisition date, which is the date when the acquirer
gains control over the acquired company.
The
following table summarizes the consideration paid for Bitech Mining and the fair value amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
recognized at the acquisition date:

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
April 14, 2024, the Company, Emergen Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Emergen”), Bridgelink Development,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bridgelink”) and C & C Johnson Holdings LLC, the sole member of Bridgelink
(“C&C”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) (the “Business Combination”).
On
April 24, 2024, the Company, Emergen, Bridgelink and C&C entered into Amendment No. 1 to the MIPA (the “Amendment”) to
amend Section 2.02(b)(i) of the MIPA which provides that instead of expanding the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)
to five persons upon the closing of the Business Combination, the size of the Board will be expanded to four persons and name Cole Johnson
to the Board as of the date of closing of the Business Combination. In addition, Amendment No. 1 requires the Company to expand the size
of the Board to five persons, and thereafter to name to the Board two persons as named by the Company, two persons as named by Bridgelink,
and one person jointly selected by the Company and Bridgelink, which person shall meet the requirements of being an “independent
director” pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
On April 24, 2024 (the “Closing”) the Company completed the acquisition of Emergen pursuant to the MIPA
whereby the Company issued 222,222,000 unregistered shares of its common stock to Emergen’s sole member, C&C, an entity controlled
by Cole Johnson who became an executive officer and director of the Company following the Closing, in exchange for 100% of Emergen’s
equity interests. Following the Closing, Mr. Johnson became the President of the Company’s BESS and Solar Divisions and a member
of the Board. In addition, Emergen became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with C&C’s ownership interest in the Company
being approximately 31.3% based on 711,090,664 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance
of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the MIPA.
Emergen holds certain contractual and other rights to develop a portfolio of battery energy storage system (“BESS”)
projects identified in the MIPA with a cumulative storage capacity estimated at 1.965 gigawatts (GW) upon completion of the construction
of such project (the “BESS Development Projects”) and rights to develop a portfolio of solar energy development projects with
a cumulative capacity estimated at 3.840 GW upon completion of construction of such project (the “Solar Development Projects,”
together with the BESS Development Projects, collectively, the “Development Projects”). Following the Closing, the Company
will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to uplist the Company to the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The
following agreements were entered into on the date of Closing as provided for in the MIPA:
Project
Management Services Agreement
At
the Closing, the Company and Emergen entered into a Project Management Services Agreement (the “PMSA”) with Energy Independent
Partners LLC (“Energy Independent Partners”), an entity owned or controlled by Mr. Johnson. Pursuant to the terms of the
PMSA, Energy Independent Partners is obligated to provide the following project management services in connection with the development
and operation of each of the Development Projects (collectively, the “Services”): (i) assist as needed with qualifying the
Development Projects for financing; (ii) assist as needed with obtaining all permits required for development of the Development Projects
which have sufficient rights to use all necessary real property, and for which the applicable draft interconnection agreement has been
received for the Development Projects (“RTB Status”); and (iii) if Emergen foregoes the development of a Development Project,
Energy Independent Partners will assist the Company as needed with marketing the Development Project to a third party or develop and
retain the Development Project outside of Emergen.
The
term of the PMSA (the “Term”) commenced on the date of the Closing (the “Effective Date”) and terminates on the
earlier to occur of (i) all of the Development Projects reaching RTB Status or being sold to a third party; and (ii) the mutual written
agreement of the Parties to the PMSA to terminate the PMSA.
Payment
for Service. The Issuer agreed to pay Energy Independent Partners the following fees for providing the Services:
BESS
Development Fees. The sum of (i) $9,825,000 for prior actions of affiliates of Energy Independent Partners with respect to the BESS
Development Projects (the “BESS Initial Fee”); and (ii) $0.03 per watt for each applicable BESS Development Project, subject
to such BESS Development Project achieving RTB Status (as to each BESS Development Project, the “BESS RTB Fee”). The BESS
Initial Fee and the BESS RTB Fees are referred to collectively as the “BESS Development Fees”.
Solar
Development Fees. The sum of (i) $19,200,000 for prior actions of affiliates of Energy Independent Partners with respect to the Solar
Development Projects (the “Solar Initial Fee”); and (ii) $0.03 per watt for each applicable Solar Development Project, subject
to such Solar Development Project achieving RTB Status (as to each Solar Development Project, the “Solar RTB Fee”). The Solar
Initial Fee and the Solar RTB Fees are referred to collectively as the “Solar Development Fees”.
Other
Development Fees. For each other renewable energy development asset held by the Company, which are neither BESS Development Projects
nor Solar Development Projects, located in the United States in which the Company engages during the term of the PMSA (the “Other
Development Projects”), the Company shall pay Energy Independent Partners the higher of either (a) fifty percent (50%) of the gross
margin or (b) $0.02 per watt in cash, subject to such Other Development Project achieving RTB Status (the “Other Development Fees”).
Timing
of Payment of Fees
The
BESS Initial Fee and the Solar Initial Fee shall not be due or payable until the Company has completed one or more financings which have
resulted in the Company receiving net proceeds of at least $5,000,000, and at such time 15% of the proceeds from each such financing
shall be used to make payment on the BESS Initial Fee and the Solar Initial Fee, to be apportioned equally between the two. Thereafter,
15% of any additional proceeds of financings shall similarly be used to make payment on the BESS Initial Fee and the Solar Initial Fee,
to be apportioned equally between the two, until the BESS Initial Fee and the Solar Initial Fee have been paid in full. In the event
that the BESS Initial Fee and the Solar Initial Fee have been not paid in full from the 15% of the proceeds of such financings, any remaining
portions of the BESS Initial Fee and the Solar Initial Fee shall be due and payable on the 24-month anniversary of the Effective Date.
Subject
to achievement of RTB Status for each applicable BESS Development Project and certain other limitations provided for in the PMSA, the
BESS RTB Fees shall be payable at the time that the Company has obtained project financing with respect to the applicable BESS Development
Project to be able to pay such BESS RTB Fees. Subject to achievement of RTB Status for each applicable Solar Development Project and
certain other limitations provided for in the PMSA, the Solar RTB Fees shall be payable at the time that the Company has obtained project
financing with respect to the applicable Solar Development Project to be able to pay such Solar RTB Fees.
The
timing and other requirements for the payment of Other Development Fees shall be as agreed in writing by the parties to the PMSA via
an addendum to the PMSA prior to the parties undertaking such Other Development Projects.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the PMSA, in addition to the other requirements therein, payment of the BESS RTB Fees, the Solar RTB Fees
and any Other Development Fees is further contingent upon Cole W. Johnson (a) remaining an employee or consultant to Emergen and/or the
head of the BESS and Solar Division of the Company and/or (b) as an interest owner in the Energy Independent Partners during the period
of time in which the applicable BESS RTB Fees, the Solar RTB Fees or Other Development Fees are payable. Subject to the foregoing, the
BESS RTB Fees, the Solar RTB Fees or Other Development Fees are payable within ten (10) days of satisfaction of the conditions to payment
as discussed above.
Payment
for Sale of Development Projects. In the event the Company decides not to proceed with any Development Project(s), the Company may
elect to sell such Development Project(s) to one or more third parties. In such event, the Company and Energy Independent Partners agree
to a sales price for the applicable Development Project being sold, and provided that the parties to the PMSA agree that any sale agreement
for such Development Projects shall provide that the buyer thereof shall remain obligated to pay to Energy Independent Partners the BESS
Development Fees and/or the Soler Development Fee(s), as applicable, to the extent not already paid by the Company hereunder, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the Company and Energy Independent Partners.
Termination.
The PMSA may be terminated at any time prior to the expiration of its term: (a) by the mutual written consent of the parties; (b) by
the Company if Energy Independent Partners has violated or breached any of the covenants or agreements of Energy Independent Partners
set forth therein, or any of the representations or warranties of Energy Independent Partners set forth in the PMSA has become inaccurate
or untrue, which violation, breach, inaccuracy or untruth, if reasonable capable of cure, has not been cured by Energy Independent Partners,
within 20 business days after receipt by Energy Independent Partners of written notice thereof from the Company; (c) by Energy Independent
Partners if the Company or Emergen has violated or breached any of the covenants or agreements of the Company or Emergen set forth in
the PMSA, or any of the representations or warranties of the Company or Emergen set forth in the PMSA has become inaccurate or untrue,
which violation, breach, inaccuracy or untruth, if reasonable capable of cure, has not been cured by the Company or Emergen, within 20
business days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from Energy Independent Partners; or (d) by any party, if a court
of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining,
enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Combination or the transactions contemplated by the PMSA and such order or action shall have become
final and nonappealable. Any of the Parties has a right to seek specific performance of the other parties’ obligations under the
PMSA in lieu of its right to terminate the agreement.
Indemnification.
Subject to certain limitations provided for in the PMSA, each of the parties to the PMSA mutually agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
each other and each of their affiliates and each of their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders,
attorneys and agents and permitted assignees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against and in respect of any and all
losses incurred or sustained by such party as a result of or in connection with (i) any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged
breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other party contained
in the PMSA or in any of the additional agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) any claim for
brokerage commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of the actions or agreements of the other party
or any of their representatives.

and directors: Benjamin Tran (Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board) and Cole Johnson (President of the Company’s BESS
and Solar Division and a Director).
The
Employment Agreements all provide for a term of five years that may be terminated by the Company for death or disability and with or
without cause, by the executive with or without good reason, or mutually terminated by the parties. If the Employment Agreements are
terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by the employee, the Company is obligated to pay the terminated person the
balance of their base salary for the remainder of the term in a lump sum and any equity grant made to such person shall automatically
vest. If the Employment Agreement is terminated for cause by the Company, the terminated person shall be entitled to their Base Salary

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”)
of the financial condition and results of operations of Bitech Technologies Corporation (the “Company,” “Bitech Technologies,”
“our” or “we”) is for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. It is supplemental to, and should be read
in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the accompanying
notes for such period included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 4,
2022. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). Financial information presented in this MD&A is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “US$”),
unless otherwise indicated.
The information about us provided in this MD&A,
including information incorporated by reference, may contain “forward-looking statements” and certain “forward-looking
information” as defined under applicable United States securities laws and Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact, made by us that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur
in the future are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements preceded by, followed by or that include words
such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “believes”,
“estimates”, “projects”, “potential”, “expects”, “plans”, “intends”,
“anticipates”, “targeted”, “continues”, “forecasts”, “designed”, “goal”,
or the negative of those words or other similar or comparable words and includes, among others, information regarding: our ability to
become profitable and generate cash in our operating activities; our need for substantial additional financing to operate our business
and difficulties we may face acquiring additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all; our significant indebtedness and significant
restrictions on our operations; the risk that the BESS and Solar Development Projects discussed below (the
“Development Projects”) may not be completed, will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected
or that the Company is otherwise unable to successfully complete the Development Projects; (iii) the failure to obtain the necessary approvals
and consents to complete the Development Projects, regulatory, or any other consents required to complete the projects; our ability to
obtain required governmental approvals to complete the Development Projects (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition
of conditions that could adversely affect the Company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination discussed below); the Company’s
ability to fund the costs required to complete the Development Projects; the impact of global climate change on our ability to conduct future operations; our dependence on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor
to complete construction of the Development Projects and acquire equipment for the operation of the proposed
Development Projects; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; growth-related
risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls; risk related to the protection of our intellectual
property and our exposure to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties; risks related to competition; risks related to
our lack of internal controls over financial reporting and their effectiveness; increased costs we are subject to as a result of being
a public company in the United States; and other events or conditions that may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements may relate to future
financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance or business developments. These statements speak only as at
the date they are made and are based on information currently available and on the then current expectations of the party making the statement
and assumptions concerning future events, which are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from that which was expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors.”
Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions
on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements,
because no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions,
by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated
due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to the risks described in “Risk Factors.”
Consequently, all forward-looking statements made
in this MD&A and other documents, as applicable, are qualified by such cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the
anticipated results or developments will actually be realized or, even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or
effects on us. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent
written or oral forward-looking statements that we and/or persons acting on its behalf may issue. We do not undertake any obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required
under securities legislation.
Overview of the Business
Currently, we have refocused our business
development plans as we seek to position ourselves as a global technology solution enabler dedicated to providing a suite of green
energy solutions with plans to develop Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, commercial and residential renewable energy
solutions, enterprise utility services, public service engagements, and other renewable energy initiatives. We plan to pursue these
innovative energy technologies and become a grid-balancing operator by developing a portfolio of battery energy storage system
(“BESS”) projects with a cumulative storage capacity estimated at 1.965 gigawatts (“GW”) and rights to
develop a portfolio of solar energy development projects with a cumulative capacity estimated at 3.840 GW (collectively, the
“Development Projects”) that we acquired in connection with our acquisition of Emergen Energy LLC
(“Emergen”). See Note 6 – Subsequent Events to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. We plan to raise the working capital we need to commence the Development Projects. See Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources. In addition, our team
has identified two highly competitive battery energy storage suppliers who have expressed interest in establishing partnerships with
us, as we seek to integrate their products into our recently acquired Development Projects. In addition, we are seeking business partnerships with
defensible technology innovators and renewable energy providers to facilitate investments, provide new market entries toward
emerging-growth regions and implement innovative, scalable energy system solutions with technological focuses on smart grid, Home
Energy Management System (HEMS), Building Energy Management System (BEMS), City Energy Management System (CEMS), energy storage, and
EV infrastructure.
To accelerate growth of a planned intellectual property
(IP) portfolio through acquisition strategies, we plan to execute our Smart Acquisition Model with selected acquisitions of defensible
technologies accompanied with visionary management teams who can demonstrate a common goal with us in order to unlock the full potential
with capital infusion, accelerate growth. To achieve our development plans, we plan to incubate those acquired companies toward foreseeable
plans for mergers and acquisitions, formation of global joint ventures, while facilitating new market entry to today’s fastest growing
Southeast Asia region. With this acquisition model, we expect to build a valuable technology portfolio of IP assets in various innovative
green energy technologies, leveraging our network of global capital partners with low-cost manufacturing capacity and oversea outsourcing
technical talents from our niche sources in Vietnam.
Further, we plan to execute a Dual Growth Business
Model encompassing (1) IP portfolio growth which includes technology licensing or technology acquisitions,
enhanced with our plans to carry out research and development for specific applications, and (2) sustainable revenue growth by executing
planned BESS acquisitions via joint ventures with capital partners to collect joint venture income from BESS operations or Vietnam-based
manufacturing partners which can manufacture products derived from our technology solutions.
In light of these initiatives and other reasons noted
below, the Company has, however, elected to discontinue its efforts to commercialize the electric power generation and charging system
(the “Tesdison Technology”) it licensed from SuperGreen pursuant to the SuperGreen License. The Company has determined that
the Tesdison Technology was not functional nor was it capable of being developed into a commercially viable product as had been represented
to the Company by SuperGreen, its founder Calvin Cao, and his brother Michael Cao, leading up to Bitech Mining entering into the SuperGreen
License. In addition, the Company will temporarily pause the further development of Intellisys-8, the Company’s planned chipset
and related software that had been designed to reduce power consumption and heat in computer systems and accelerate their computational
speed due to the currently unfavorable market conditions within the cryptocurrency market.
The Company acquired Bitech Mining on March 31, 2022
pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement we acquired an aggregate of 94,312,250 shares of Bitech
Mining’s Common Stock representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bitech Mining in exchange for an aggregate of 9,000,000
shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Effective June 27, 2022, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock automatically converted into 53.975685 shares (an aggregate of 485,781,168) of the Company’s Common Stock upon filing of an
amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000. Upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Sellers held, in the aggregate, approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Company capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
The Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization
and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and Bitech Mining is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result
of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine
Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles, the historical financial results of Bitech Mining,
the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical financial results.
Comparison of the three month period ended March
31, 2024 with the three month period ended March 31, 2023.
The Company has generated minimal revenues from its
primary business for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred
$313,835 of general and administrative expenses compared to $239,079 for the same period in 2023. General and administrative expenses
have been mostly consistent during 2024 compared to 2023 as the Company moves from development stage to revenue generation.
As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of ($313,507)
for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of ($232,079) which included $7,000 other income to offset the general
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Working Capital
The calculation of Working Capital provides additional
information and is not defined under GAAP. We define Working Capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. This information is intended to provide investors
with information about our liquidity.
Other companies in our industry may calculate this
measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had
total current liabilities of $53,557 and $35,229, respectively, and current assets of $242,037 and $163,417, respectively, to meet our
current obligations. As of March 31, 2024, we had working capital of $188,480, an increase of working capital of $60,292 as compared to
December 31, 2023, driven primarily by cash provided by financing offset by cash used in operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash
used in operations was ($166,379) which primarily included the net loss of ($313,507) primarily offset by $94,300 of non-cash
restricted stock awards and option valuation recorded as stock compensation and $23,499 common stock issued for services.
We have a history of operating losses. We have
not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. We have funded our operations primarily from equity
financing. As of March 31, 2024, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient to fund our growth strategy in the
short-term or long-term. The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including
operational and development costs to develop and construct our planned BESS and Solar projects that are part of the Development
Project rights we acquired upon completion of the acquisition of Emergen. As the Development Projects are in their early phase of
development, we have not determined the amount of capital needed to complete their development or operate them until sufficient cash
is generated from their operations. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private financing transactions. The ability
to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to execute on the development and commercialization of the Development
Projects depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to prevailing economic conditions
and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that additional financing
will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results
of operations or financial condition, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.
Changes in or Adoption of Accounting Practices
There were no material changes in or adoption of new
accounting practices during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies
See Note 2 of the accompanying notes to unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, which note is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17
C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon
their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange
Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were
effective as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have also indicated that, upon evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or other factors
during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
Our management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company
have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion
of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, to our knowledge,
there are no legal proceedings or regulatory actions material to us to which we are a party, or have been a party to, or of which any
of our property is or was the subject matter of, and no such proceedings or actions are known by us to be contemplated except as provided
below:
Due to the misrepresentations and omissions of SuperGreen,
Calvin C. Cao and Michael H. Cao, among other reasons, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California
on February 2, 2023 against SuperGreen, Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, Calvin C. Cao and entities affiliated with them alleging fraud-concealment,
breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty-duty of good faith, breach of fiduciary duty-undivided loyalty, conversion and violation
of California Penal Code Sec. 496 (the “Cao Lawsuit”). This lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of at least $33.6 million,
treble and punitive damages, imposition of a constructive trust over the defendants assets, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, attorney’s
fees and such other relief as determined by the court.
Effective February 20, 2023, the Company, together
with its wholly owned subsidiary Bitech Mining Corporation entered into a Confidential Settlement, Mutual Release, and Share Transfer
Agreement (the “C. Cao Settlement Agreement”) with Calvin Cao (“C. Cao”) and SuperGreen Energy Corporation (“SuperGreen,”
together with C. Cao, the “C. Cao Parties”). The C. Cao Settlement Agreement settles as to the C. Cao Parties, the Cao Lawsuit.
Pursuant to the C. Cao Settlement Agreement, the C. Cao Parties terminated the Patent & Technology Exclusive and Non-Exclusive License
Agreement between Bitech Mining Corporation and SuperGreen dated January 15, 2021 as amended on January 15, 2021 and on March 26, 2022
(the “License Agreement”) and SuperGreen canceled 51,507,749 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001
per share issued by the Company to SuperGreen pursuant to the License Agreement. In addition, the parties to the Settlement Agreement
agreed to a mutual general release of liabilities against each other, refrain from making any disparaging remarks about each other and
the Company’s filing a dismissal with prejudice of the Cao Lawsuit as to the C. Cao Parties. The Settlement Agreement also contains
additional covenants, representations and warranties that are customary of litigation settlement agreements.
On March 6, 2023, Michael Cao and Linh Dao filed,
without an attorney, a pro se Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.
On April 17, 2023, the court dismissed the Cao Lawsuit
without prejudice due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On April 18, 2023, we filed a complaint against Michael H. Cao, Linh T.
Dao, B & B Investment Holding, LLC (“B & B Investment”) and Cory Thomason in the Orange County California Superior
Court containing substantially the same allegations included in the Cao Lawsuit filed in federal court (the “Cao State Court Lawsuit”).
We served Mr. Cao, Ms. Dao and B & B Investment Holding, LLC on April 26, 2023 and are continuing efforts to serve Mr. Thomason. Defendants
Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, B & B Investment (pro se) filed a Motion to Quash Service of Summons; Motion to Dismiss or Stay Complaint
(the “B & B Motions”). In response to this motion, the Company filed a Motion to Strike B & B Investment’s motion
(the “Motion to Strike”), Request for Sanctions in Amount of $2,400 and Request for Default as to B & B Investment because
it is being impermissibly represented by Michael H. Cao who is engaging in the unauthorized practice of law as to a corporate entity.
On October 13, 2023, the Court granted in part the Company’s unopposed Motion to Strike, striking the B & B Investment Motions
and ordering B &B Investment to retain an attorney no later than October 27, 2023 or be subject to default because corporate entities
are not permitted to appear in court without an attorney. The Court denied Mr. Cao’s Motion to Quash and took Linh Dao’s Motion
to Quash off calendar, thus keeping all Defendants in the case. The Court ruled that Michael Cao already waived his rights to file such
a motion by making a general appearance in the case and noted that Defendants failed to appear at the hearing. On or about October 27,
2023, the Company’s counsel received an initial communication from an attorney attaching responses to the Company’s complaint
on behalf of Mr. Cao and B&B Investment. On November 27, 2023, Mr. Cao and B&B Investment filed a Demurrer to the Complaint and
Motion to Strike Portions of the Complaint. These responses to the Company’s Complaint, along with the motions filed by Mr. Cao
pro se, were heard on May 10, 2024. The Company filed Oppositions to each of these motions. A Case Management
Conference occurred on May 10, 2024. The Company will be supplying additional facts and supporting documentation as requested by the court.
Mr. Cao served initial responses to our discovery
requests, but we believed these responses were evasive and asserted unnecessary objections. After attempting to meet and confer with Mr.
Cao, we filed motions to compel further responses to our discovery requests which were heard on December 8, 2023. The Court granted in
part and denied in part our motions. Accordingly, Mr. Cao served supplemental responses and provided responsive documents, which we have
deemed sufficient.
The Company intends to vigorously prosecute the Cao
State Court Lawsuit. We cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit, however.
Litigation Assessment
We have evaluated the foregoing Cao Lawsuit to assess
the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential loss as it relates to the litigation.
Based on this assessment and estimate, which includes an understanding of our intention to vigorously prosecute the Cao Lawsuit, we believe
that the potential defenses of any of the remaining defendants lack merit, however, and we cannot predict the likelihood of any recoveries
by any of our claims against the remaining defendants. This assessment and estimate is based on the information available to management
as of the date of this Annual Report and involves a significant amount of management judgment, including the inherent difficulty associated
with assessing litigation matters in their early stages. As a result, the actual outcome or loss may differ materially from those envisioned
by the current assessment and estimate. Our failure to successfully prosecute, defend or settle the Cao Litigation with the remaining
defendants could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, revenue and profitability and could cause the market value
of our common stock to decline.
