HAMMER FIBER OPTICS HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2017

(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 formed to provide high capacity broadband through a wireless access network.


The interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 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/A, for the year ended July 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) at www.sec.gov.


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. 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 April 30, 2017 and for the preceding fiscal year, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles 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 recorded 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 capitalized and depreciated over their respective lease terms. 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 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 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 any related 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. The Company has not recognized any related impairment losses.



6




HAMMER FIBER OPTICS HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2017

(Unaudited)


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’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. As of April 30, 2017, 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 there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that may have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.


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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2017

(Unaudited)


Reclassifications


Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.


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. As of April 30, 2017, two payments have been received. A payment of $185,000 was received in July 2016 and a payment of $65,000 was received in December 2016, leaving an outstanding balance of $750,000 at April 30, 2017. The note is in default. The loan is collateralized by Hammer common stock issued in the name of Zena Capital LLC having value greater than the outstanding loan balance. Such stock is being held in escrow for the benefit of Hammer until the loan is fully repaid. Based upon the market value of the Hammer stock held in escrow, and therefore subject to forfeiture by Zena Capital LLC, the Company believes the outstanding balance is fully collectible. A reserve against this receivable therefore, has not been recorded.


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 – 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.


During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, the Company entered into two promissory notes with a related party (“Lender”) for an aggregate amount of $2,400,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. The $2,400,000 note matures on December 31, 2018. 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. A payment of $129,831, representing a portion of accrued interest, was made during the three months ended April 30, 2017.


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%.


NOTE 5 – 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.


During the three months ended April 30, 2017, the Company received cash of $1,075,593 from the sale of 153,651 shares of Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. previously held by Hammer Wireless Corporation, and sold to third parties.



8




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 and ongoing operations. 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 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.


NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


In Accordance with ASC 855-10, Company management has evaluated all events that have occurred subsequent to April 30, 2017 and has determined there are no material transactions to be reported.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S 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 Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial data included elsewhere in this report. See also the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended July 31, 2016, filed with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

 

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended April 30, 2017


Revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2017 consisted of sales of voice and data services totaling $20,315 on Absecon Island in New Jersey


During the three months ended April 30, 2017, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $996,094 compared to $357,200 for the three months ended April 30, 2016. The increase is due to increased general business activities as the company began adding customers in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 and overall increased business activity associated with the increased scope of the company’s operations. The increase in operating costs consisted primarily of $197,546 for consulting fees, $148, 386 for labor and related employee costs, $52,702 for technical support, $48,262 for rents and equipment leasing fees, $47,687 for business insurances, $23,584 for various operational supplies, $13,007 for permits and related fees, $10,639 for computer software expenses, $9,552 for promotional and advertising costs, $7,575 for network fees and $7,479 for fleet and related vehicle costs.


The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $244,562 during the three months ended April 30, 2017 as a result of capital assets placed into service. There were no capital assets in service during the comparable period in 2016.


Interest expense was $68,108 for costs associated with financing of equipment purchases and related party debt.


Net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2017 was $1,267,820, or $.02 per share, compared to $357,200 or $.01 per share for the three months ended April 30, 2016.


Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended April 30, 2017


Revenues for the nine months ended April 3, 2017 were $58,329 as a result of initially providing services to customers during this period. There were no active customers, and therefore no operating revenues, for the same period in 2016.


During the nine months ended April 30, 2017, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,960,232 compared to $795,249 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016. The increase in expenses is due to the increase in the Company’s general business activities as the company begun adding customers and therefore, recognized additional costs associated with such increased activity. The increase in operating costs consisted primarily of $571,480 for consulting fees, $473,659 for labor and related employee costs, $327,771 for technical support, $520,505 for rents and equipment leasing fees, $112,013 for business insurances, $36,773 for various operational supplies, $49,665 for promotional and advertising costs and $48,753 for fleet and related vehicle costs.


The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $630,639 as a result of capital assets placed into service. There were no capital assets in service during the comparable period in 2016.


Interest expense was $233,935 for costs associated with financing of equipment purchases and related party debt.

Net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 was $3,739,373 or $0.06 per share compared to $795,249 or $0.02 per share for nine months ended April 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As indicated in Note 6 to the financial statements, 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 nine months ended April 30, 2017, the Company used $3,626,405 in cash for operating activities, compared to $884,753 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.


Cash Flow from Investing Activities


During the nine months ended April 30, 2017, the Company’s investing activities consumed $473,607 of cash, compared to $2,640,573 for the nine months ended April 30, 2016. This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in expenditures required to construct 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 six months ended April 30, 2017.


Cash Flow from Financing Activities


During the nine months ended April 30, 2017, the Company received $3,611,096 in cash from financing activities compared with proceeds of $4,224,935 received during the nine months ended April 30, 2016. This change was the result of a decrease in the volume of both debt and equity fundraising activity required to sustain ongoing and growing operations.


Going Concern


We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining additional debt and/or equity capital from third-party sources to sustain operations or to pursue acquisitions and other business development 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 business operations. Issuances of additional shares may result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of 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.


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.


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


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


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 January 31, 2017 (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 April 30, 2017 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. In connection with ongoing efforts to improve the quality of internal controls over financial reporting and overall corporate governance, on January 11, 2017 the Board of Directors formed a separate Audit Committee, a function previously performed by the full Board. The committee is comprised of two independent Directors experienced in matters of accounting and financial reporting.


2. The Company does not have a whistleblower policy in effect due to the relatively small size of the organization. Such a policy will be given future consideration.


3. 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.


4. Although plans are in place, and progress is being made, the system to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting is not yet fully implemented. 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 April 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
