HAMMER FIBER OPTICS HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31 2016
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (the Company) (formerly Tanaris Power Holdings, Inc.) is an alternative telecommunications carrier that is poised to position itself as the premier provider of high capacity broadband through its wireless access network in the New Jersey [Southern and Central region] and the New Jersey Shore.
The interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2016 are unaudited. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently do not include all disclosures required to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. In management's opinion all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial statements are reflected in the interim periods included, and are of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Form 10-K, for the year ended July 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. is the parent company and sole shareholder of Hammer Wireless Corporation. Hammer Wireless Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. The financial statements for Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary are reported on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying financial statements and related notes for the period ended October 31, 2016 and for the preceding fiscal year, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. For furniture and fixtures, the useful life is five years, Leasehold Improvements are depreciated over the two-year lease term. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company has not recognized impairment losses.
7
Notes receivable
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are recorded at amortized cost less any provision for impairment. Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.
Indefinite lived intangible assets
The Company reviews property, plant and equipment, inventory component prepayments and certain identifiable intangibles, excluding goodwill, for impairment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property, plant and equipment, inventory component prepayments and certain identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair value. The Company has not recorded any related impairment losses.
The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, rather such assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company has not recorded any related impairment losses.
Revenue recognition
The Companys revenues consist primarily of subscription agreements for its broadband internet, phone and video services. Services are monthly to subscribers. The company recognizes revenues when cash payment for services is received. Revenue is recognized after service is provided and the customer has accepted the goods.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Capitalized software costs
The Company accounts for software development costs which consist of costs to develop software programs to be used to meet the Companys internal needs in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Costs incurred during the application development stage for software programs are capitalized. These costs consist primarily of direct costs incurred for professional services provided by third parties and compensation costs of employees which relate to software developed for internal use during the application stage. Costs incurred in the preliminary project stage of development and the post-implementation stage are expensed in the periods when they are incurred. Capitalized software costs are included in property and equipment, net and will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The Company has not yet completed its application stage of the software and will assess the estimated useful life upon completion.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. As of October 31, 2016, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the company and are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
8
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented. The company has no common stock equivalents. The presentation of fully diluted loss per share is therefore consistent with the calculation of the basic loss per share.
NOTE 3 NOTES RECEIVABLE
During fiscal period ending July 31, 2016 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Zena Capital LLC for the aggregate amount of $1,000,000. The agreement requires repayment of the loan at a rate of $185,000 per month for 5 months with a final payment of $75,000 in month 6 plus accumulated interest. To date the only one payment has been received. The Company believes the outstanding balance is fully collectible and therefore, a reserve against this receivable has not been recorded.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On October 9, 2016 the Company entered into a short term loan agreement with a family member of a Director. Under the loan agreement terms the lender advanced $100,000 to the Company. The loan is for a period of 6 months and shall accumulate interest at an annual rate of 3% which shall accrue until the final loan becomes payable. On September 15, 2016 the Company received $210,000 from a family member of a Director and has recorded such amount as a deposit in anticipation of executing a loan agreement.
NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
In July 2016, certain owners of the Company contributed 9,291,670 restricted shares of it its common stock to the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Hammer Wireless Corporation, for the purpose of effecting acquisitions, joint ventures or other business combinations with third parties. Then, Hammer Wireless sold a portion of these restricted shares to third parties and contributed the proceeds to the Company. Since such contribution was an inter-company transaction, any impact on the financial statements is eliminated in the consolidation of these financial statements.
NOTE 6 GOING CONCERN
Until such time that revenues can sustain the operations the Company will need additional working capital to fund any future projects. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to increase revenues and its ability to receive capital from third parties. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through directors advances, additional equity funding, and long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.
NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In Accordance with ASC 855-10, Company management has evaluated all events that have occurred subsequent to October 31, 2016 and determined that there are no material transactions to be reported.
9
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp., financial statements and the related notes thereto. The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words believe, plan, intend, anticipate, target, estimate, expect, and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (will, may, could, should, etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. The Companys actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report on Form 10-Q.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial data included elsewhere in this report. See also the notes to our consolidated financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on November 30, 2016.
Results of Operations
During the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no operating revenue.
During the three months ended October 31, 2016, the Company incurred operating expenses of $972,718 compared with operating expenses of $169,799 during the three months ended October 31, 2015. The increase in operating expenses is due to the increase in the Companys general business activities, including managing and maintaining its telecommunications infrastructure which effected an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2016 was $1,049,077 or $0.02 per share compared to $173,145 for the three months ended October 31, 2015 or $0.01 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 2016 the Company had $6,267,025 of assets, compared to $6,837,082 at July 31, 2016. The decrease in assets resulted from significant payments of open invoices in accounts payable.
At October 31, 2016, the Company had liabilities of $3,812,062 comprised of $85,516 in accounts payable, $3,410,500 in amounts due to related parties, $35,051 in other notes payable, and $280,995 in accrued interest. At July 31, 2016, the Company had $3,995,461 of liabilities comprised of $651,215 in accounts payable, $3,100,500 in amounts due to related parties, $42,062 in other notes payable, and accrued interest of $201,684. The change in liabilities is due to an increase of amounts due related party as a result of a related party deposit for $210,000 and a loan for $100,000 and a decrease in accounts payable as a result of less equipment being purchased from vendors.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the three months ended October 31, 2016, the Company used $1,165,118 in cash for operating activities, compared to $168,331 of cash used for operating activities during the comparable 2015 period. The primary reason for this increase was the general increase in the level of the Companys operations.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the three months ended October 31, 2016, the Companys investing activities consumed $52,821 of cash, compared to $369,932 for the three months ended October 31, 2015. This change resulted substantially from deferral of investments in equipment.
10
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the three months ended October 31, 2016, the Company received $755,408 in cash from financing activities compared with proceeds of $335,844 received during the three months ended October 31, 2015. This change was a result of an increase in stock issued to investors.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, there is substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the company and are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of October 31, 2016 (the Evaluation Date). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as noted below, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2016 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.
Material Weaknesses
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date and identified the following material weaknesses:
1. Certain entity level controls establishing a tone at the top were considered material weaknesses. As of October 31, 2016, we did not have a separate audit committee, nor a policy on fraud. A whistleblower policy is not necessary given the small size of the organization.
2. Due to the significant number and magnitude of out-of-period adjustments identified during the year-end closing process, management has concluded that the controls over the period-end financial reporting process were not operating effectively. A material weakness in the period-end financial reporting process could result in us not being able to meet our regulatory filing deadlines and, if not remediated, has the potential to cause a material misstatement or to miss a filing deadline in the future. Management override of existing controls is possible given the small size of the organization and lack of personnel.
3. There is no system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting. We maintain an insufficient complement of personnel to carry out ongoing monitoring responsibilities and ensure effective internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
