NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consistent of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2024.
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. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the valuation of intangible assets and the valuation of warrant liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents
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. The Company maintains its cash balances with various banks. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations or the period in which the disposal occurred. The Company computes depreciation utilizing estimated useful lives, as stated below:

Management regularly reviews property and equipment for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based on management's assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company's property and equipment as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively.
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 during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023.
Intangible assets
The Company's intangible assets with finite lives, including customer lists and internal-use software, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company assess all amortizable intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances or changes suggest the asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present, the Company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to its anticipated net undiscounted cash flows. Should these cash flows be less than the carrying amount, the Company proceeds to determine the asset's fair value and record any necessary impairment. Each year, the Company also re-evaluates the useful life of these intangible assets to decide if adjustments to their remaining useful lives are warranted based on current events and conditions.
The Company did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges during the three months ended October 31, 2024 or 2023.
As of October 31, 2024, the Company had a total of $
As of July 31, 2024, the Company had a total of $
Leases
The Company accounts for its lease contracts in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All leases that have lease terms of one year or less are considered short-term leases, and therefore are not recorded through a ROU asset or liability. As of October 31, 2024, and July 31, 2024, the Company did not have any leases with terms greater than 12 months.
Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenues under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which we adopted on August 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. This standard update, along with related subsequently issued updates, clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.
At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as unearned revenue or customer deposits. The company accrues for sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

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, 2024, and July 31, 2024, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
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. 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.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management's assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities (including warrants) approximate fair value.
All financial assets and liabilities are approximate their fair value. Warrants are valued at Level 3.

Principles of Consolidation
Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. is the parent company and sole shareholder of HammerPay [USA], Ltd. The financial statements for Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. its wholly-owned active subsidiary, and its three wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries are reported on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Its subsidiaries Hammer Fiber Optics Investments, Ltd., Hammer Wireless - SL, Ltd and its former subsidiary Open Data Centers, LLC are discontinued and are considered discontinued operations. Open Data Centers, LLC was dissolved on December 30, 2020.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Lose Per Share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). ASU 2023-07 does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires entities to disclose more detailed information about the types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Such guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)". This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, as well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis as of August 1, 2023 and the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed 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. For the three months ended October 31, 2024 the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $
The consolidated 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 funding through debt or equity financing until such time that ongoing revenues can sustain the business.

NOTE 4 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the Company's filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended October 31, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2024, the Company performed an evaluation of its accounting in relation to intangible assets subject to amortization. Management determined that the Form 10-Q did not give effect to certain expenses identified. Accordingly, the Company has restated its condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q as outlined further below. Upon review of the Company's previously filed 10-Q, the following errors were discovered and recorded:
1. Amortization expense associated with two intangible assets, software and customer contracts, had not been amortized in accordance with ASC 350-30-35. The Condensed Statement of Operations and the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended October 31, 2023 have been updated to properly reflect the amortization expense of intangible assets.

NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Hammer Fiber Optics Investment Ltd ceased operations on October 31, 2018 when Verizon Communications, LLC terminated the spectrum lease agreement. Open Data Centers, LLC ceased operations at its sole location in Piscataway, NJ on May 1, 2020. Open Data Centers, LLC was dissolved on December 30, 2020. The divestiture of Hammer Fiber Optics Investments Ltd and Open Data Centers, LLC qualified for held-for-sale accounting and represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Following the divestitures, the Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of Open Data Centers, LLC or Hammer Fiber Optics Investment Ltd. As a result, the divestitures met the criteria for reporting as a discontinued operation.
On November 1, 2024, the Company authorized and executed a Purchase Agreement with Viper Networks Inc. (“Viper’) to sell the Company's telecommunications assets to Viper (the “Viper Sale”). The assets include 1st Point Communications LCC, and all its subsidiaries, Endstream Communications LLC, American Networks Inc., and a
Upon signing the Purchase Agreement, the Principal Financial Officer of the Company tendered his resignation with the Company and the Board of Directors and became the CFO of Viper.

During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $355,586 compared with $332,288, an increase of approximately $23,298 or 7.0%, for the comparable period ended October 31, 2023. The increase in expenses is due to the launch of the Company's HammerPay software.
The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $169,027 and $168,298 during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, interest expense was $152 and $19,857 respectively.

During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company incurred total other expense of $57,089 primarily consisting of adjustments to the fair value of the warrant liability and interest expense of $56,937 and $152, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2023 the Company incurred total other income of $52,143 consisting primarily of adjustments to the fair value of the warrant liabilitity of $72,000. This expense is partially offset by interest expense of $19,857.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations since inception primarily through notes payable from related parties, which have been disclosed herein under Related Party Transactions. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $26,052 and $0 as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively.
See the analysis below of the cash flow statement for further details pertaining to liquidity.
The Company is at risk of remaining a going concern. Its ability to remain a going concern is dependent upon whether the Company can 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.

Changes in Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities
During the three months ended October 31, 2024 the Company's total cash used in continuing operations decreased by $30,295, compared to an increase in cash of $27,208 in the three months ended October 31, 2023. Cash flow used in operating activities was $344,101, compared to $116,327 in the three months ended October 31, 2023. The decrease in cash was partially due to a decrease in accounts payables, partially offset by an increase in net loss from continuing operations and a gain on warrant adjustment to fair value.
Changes in Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities
During the three months ended October 31, 2024, cash flow provided by financing activities was $313,806 compared with $143,535 provided during the three months ended October 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to greater borrowings of related party convertible notes payable, partially offset by repayments on convertible notes payable. During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company received approximately $852,271 more in proceeds from convertible notes payable - related parties as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2023.
Going Concern
As of October 31, 2024, 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.
22
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires application of management's subjective judgments, often requiring estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our actual results may differ substantially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in "Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in Item 1, "Financial Statements," of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies require the application of significant judgments and estimates.
Warrant Liability Fair Value
Our warrant liability fair value estimates are based on the Black Scholes model using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical prices of the Company's common stock.
Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets, composed of software and customer contracts, were obtained through the Company's January 2022 acquisition of Telecom Financial Services, Ltd. ("TFS"), as well as capitalized internal software development costs. A valuation specialist was contracted to determine a purchase price allocation for the $4,230,000 paid for TFS. Ultimately, it was determined that the software is valued at approximately $387,843 and the customer contract at approximately $3,862,657. The Company also capitalized internal software costs of $230,961. These assets have useful lives of between 5 and 7 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Periodically, the Company assesses its intangible assets for impairment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). ASU 2023-07 does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires entities to disclose more detailed information about the types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Such guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our disclosures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any 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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2024, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective.
Material Weakness
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2024. 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).
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, this is due to an inherent staffing limitation to properly segregate duties and provide adequate monitoring during the process leading to and including the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
During the fiscal year 2024, we engaged an outsourced firm with a panel of CPA consultants to assist in building internal controls and preparing financial reports, and to establish best practices and help us document and implement all the checks and balances needed for all financial areas.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
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 were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
