(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (“the Company”) is an alternative telecommunications carrier formed to provide high capacity broadband through a wireless access network. Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. is the parent company and sole shareholder of Hammer Wireless Corporation. 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 interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2017 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, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) at www.sec.gov.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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.

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 is more likely than not to default.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

Capitalized software costs

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 are being amortized over their estimated useful life of five years.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when a sales or service arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue or customer deposits. The company accrues for sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

The Company’s revenues consist primarily of subscription agreements for its broadband internet and voice-over-IP phone services. Residential broadband service delivered to customers over the Company’s hybrid fiber and wireless network in Atlantic County, New Jersey is the primary revenue source. Revenues are supplemented by phone and add-on services. Broadband services delivered via fiber optics to enterprise businesses account for the remaining sources of revenue. Services are billed monthly to subscribers on either a one-year or two-year contract for residential customers and three-year contracts for enterprise business customers. Revenue begins accruing as service is delivered at commencement of the customer’s service contract.

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.

Fair value measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The Company has no assets or liabilities valued at fair value on a recurring basis.

Consolidation of financial statements

Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. is the parent company and sole shareholder of Hammer Wireless Corporation. 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.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company. As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement with MEK Investments Inc. for an aggregate amount of $235,000. The loan matures June 30, 2018 at which time the principal is due in its entirety, in addition to simple interest accrued at 3%.

NOTE 4 – INDEFINITE LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company has $18,934 of recognized indefinite lived intangible assets, which consist of the ownership of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address blocks. These assets are not amortized and are evaluated routinely for potential impairment. If a determination is made that the intangible asset is impaired after performing the initial qualitative assessment, the asset’s fair value will be calculated and compared with the carrying value to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On October 9, 2016, the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement with a family member of a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the agreement, the lender advanced $100,000 to the Company for the purpose of providing working capital. The loan is for a period of 6 months and shall accumulate interest at an annual rate of 3%. The Company is currently in default on this loan. On September 15, 2016, the Company received $210,000 from a family member of a member of the Board of Directors, also for the purpose of working capital, and has recorded such amount as a deposit in anticipation of executing a loan agreement. As of October 31, 2017, the full $310,000 is due and outstanding.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, the Company entered into two promissory notes with a related party for an aggregate amount of $2,400,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. The $2,400,000 note matures on January 4, 2019. The terms consist of ten principal and interest payments due quarterly in the amount of $300,000 for total payments of $3,000,000. The Company is currently in default on this loan. To date, the Company has made payments on this note amounting to $625,831. The payments were applied to interest accrued as of the time of payment as well as to principal. The principal balance was $ 2,294,067 at October 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016 respectively.

The $1,000,000 note matures June 9, 2018 at which time the principal is due in its entirety, in addition to simple interest accrued at 3%. The principal balance was $1,000,000 at October 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016 respectively.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In July 2016, certain shareholders of the Company contributed 9,291,670 restricted shares of their common stock to the Company’s 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 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

During the year ended July 31, 2016, the Company issued an additional 759,619 Class A shares and 992,481 Class B shares for proceeds of $3,140,094. After the merger effected July 19, 2016, the Company had 60,503,341 common shares outstanding with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Class A share of HFOI have been converted to common stock and as a result the company currently has only one class of stock (common).

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company received cash of $1,398,508 from the sale of 199,787 shares of Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. held by Hammer Wireless Corporation, and sold to third parties. These transactions represent capital contributions and did not result in an increase in shares outstanding.

NOTE 7 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has consistently sustained losses since its inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to increase revenues, adequately control operating expenses and receive debt and/or equity 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.

The Company intends to continue to address this condition by seeking to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or the sale of equity until such time that ongoing revenues can sustain the business, at which time capitalization may be considered through other means.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to October 31, 2017 the Company received cash of $276,100 from the sale of 39,443 shares of Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. held by Hammer Wireless Corporation, and sold to third parties.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted. You should read this Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Report are made as of the date of this Report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2017 and the related notes thereto. The discussions of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the future.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended October 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended October 31, 2016

Net revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were $37,293 and nil, respectively. The Company earned revenues in 2017 as a result of completing the initial portion of its network infrastructure necessary to offer services.

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $1,446,912 compared with $972,718 for the comparable period ended October 31, 2016. The increase in operating costs consisted primarily of $86,235 for outside labor, $46,462 for legal and professional services, $76,643 for business insurances, $15,742 for promotional and advertising costs and $28,840 for network costs. The Company anticipates operating costs are expected to increase as network expansions are planned.

The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $279,036 and $134,990 during the three months ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, respectively. The increase was the result of additional capital assets placed into service to further expand the company’s technology platform.

During the three months ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, interest expense was $86,284 and $79,311, respectively. The increase is attributable to an increase in the amount of related-party debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is at risk of remaining a going concern. Its ability to remain a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise debt and/or equity capital from third-party sources for both working capital and business development needs until such time as the Company may be substantially sustained as a going concern through cash flow from operations.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company used $1,278,835 in cash for operating activities, compared to $1,165,118 in cash used for operating activities during the comparable 2016 period. The primary reason for this increase was the increase in general and administrative expenses required for the Company to assume initial operations on Absecon Island in New Jersey.

10

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company’s investing activities consumed $389,830 of cash, compared to $52,821 for the three months ended October 31, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from expenditures for additional equipment for the continued expansion of infrastructure on Absecon Island in New Jersey. Such infrastructure investments were substantially incurred to construct and install assets to serve the customer base for which service was initially provided during the first ten months of calendar year 2017.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

During the three months ended October 31, 2017, the Company netted $1,391,603 in cash from financing activities compared with the net increase of $755,408 during the three months ended October 31, 2016. This change was the result of an increase in the volume of both debt and equity fundraising activity required to sustain ongoing and growing operations

Going Concern

As at October 31, 2017, substantial doubt existed as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has earned only minimal revenue, has no certainty of earning additional revenues in the future, has a working capital deficit and an overall accumulated deficit since inception. The Company will require additional financing to continue operations either from management, existing shareholders, or new shareholders through equity financing and/or sources of debt financing. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares presently held by the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hammer Wireless Corporation, in order to continue to fund business operations. Any issuances of additional shares beyond those shares presently held by Hammer Wireless Corporation, may result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of shares held by Hammer Wireless Corporation or issue additional equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations and other development 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of October 31, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer, with the participation of our principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our management has concluded that, as of October 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2017 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
