NOTE 2 - CORPORATE HISTORY AND BACKGROUND ON MERGER

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 23, 2010, under the name Recursos Montana S.A. The Company's principal activity was an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition of mineral properties then owned by the Company.

On February 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Tanaris Power Holdings, Inc., whereby the Company acquired 100% of Tanaris Power Holdings, Inc. issued and outstanding common stock in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock equal to 51% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Tanaris Power Holdings, Inc. was the owner of certain rights in connection with the marketing and sale of smart lithium-ion batteries and battery technologies for various industrial vehicles markets and related applications. On March 6, 2015, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Tanaris Power Holdings, Inc.

On April 25, 2016, Tanaris Power Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation entered into s Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with Hammer Fiber Optics Investments, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("HFOI"), and the controlling stockholders of HFOI (the "HFOI Shareholders"). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 20,000,000 shares of common stock of HFOI from the HFOI shareholders (the "HFOI Shares") and in exchange, the Company issued to the HFOI Shareholders 50,000,000 (post-Merger) restricted shares of its common stock (the "HMMR Shares"). As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, HFOI shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On April 13, 2016, the Board of Directors (BOD) approved a Plan of Merger (the "Plan of Merger") under Nevada Revised Statuses (NRS) Section 92A.180 to merge (the "Merger") with our wholly-owned subsidiary HFO Holdings, a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change from Tanaris Power Holdings Inc. to Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp.

Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on April 13, 2016 and, on April 14, 2016, this corporate action was submitted to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the "FINRA") for its review and approval.

On May 3, 2016, the FINRA approved the merger with the wholly-owned subsidiary, HMMR Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. ("HFO Holdings").

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global health pandemic related to the outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the company's financial performance in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2020 and could have an impact throughout fiscal year 2021. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on public gatherings and other similar measures. As a result, the company and certain of the company's customers and suppliers temporarily closed locations beginning late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, continuing into the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. Partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company shut down the operations of its' Open Data Centers, LLC operations effective April 30, 2020. On May 5, 2020 and on February 26, 2021 the Company's 1stPoint Communications LLC subsidiary entered into two $88,097 notes payable to Bank of America, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP Loan") under the CARES Act. 1stPoint has met the requirements for Loan Forgiveness, and as of October 19, 2021, these notes have been forgiven by the Small Business Administration in accordance with rules of the CARES Act. The amounts of have been reflected as other income in the company's financial statements.

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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 depreciated over their respective lease terms. 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 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.

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

We adopted ASC 606 on August 1, 2018. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract or agreement with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Unearned revenues are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the performance of the services. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 July 31, 2022,2023, 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.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:

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per 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 April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2022 there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt -“Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity'sEntity’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'sentity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. At presentThe Company adopted this does notASU on a prospective basis as of August 1, 2023 and the adoption of this guidance had no material impact ouron the condensed consolidated financial statements, but may in the future if there is conversion of certain notes. Management will continue to evaluate if this impacts our financial statements.

No other accounting pronouncements are applicable.

NOTE 4 - 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. 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 for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. 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 5 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the Company's filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three months October 31, 2022, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2023, the Company performed an evaluation of its accounting in connection with warrants issued in conjunction with the February 11, 2022 Mast Hill Fund, L.P. and February 17, 2022 Talos Victory Fund, L.P. convertible notes. Management determined that the Original Form 10-K does not give effect to $97,196 in expense and the issuance of warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase shares at a price between $1.50 and $3.00 per share of the common stock outstanding. Accordingly, the Company restates its consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K as outlined further below. Upon review of the Company's previously filed 10-Q, the following errors were discovered and recorded:

1.Certain intellectual property (platform software) for the HammerPay subsidiary has been reclassified as an intangible asset.

2.Financing expense associated with the two convertible notes has been accrued and amortized instead of expensed in accordance with ASC 470-20-25.

3.Warrants issued in conjunction with two convertible notes have been valued in accordance with ASC 820-10 as clarified by ASU 2022-03.

4.The Statement of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows have been adjusted to reflect the change in warrant financing expenses, expenses associated with the convertible notes, and income associated with conversion of the convertible notes. Adjustments to the fair value of the warrants have also been reflected as other income.

The specific explanations for the items noted above in the restated financial statements are as follows:

(1) During February 2022, the Company entered into two convertible notes that included warrants exercisable for five years. Management determined that the original consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, and consolidated statement of cash flows amounts did not give effect to the issuance of warrants to purchase shares at a price between $1.50 and $3.00 per share of the common stock outstanding. The Company recorded an additional expense of $97,196 in relation to the Warrant.

• Financing expense associated with these convertible notes have been accrued and amortized instead of expensed in accordance with ASC 470-20-25.

• The warrants issued in conjunction with the aforementioned February 2022 convertible notes have been valued in accordance with ASC 820-10 as clarified by ASU 2022-03.

(2) Management evaluated the deferred revenue of the 1stPoint Communications, LLC business unit and determined that certain revenues had not been reflected in prior periods due to changes in the underlying systems relating to its web hosting business.

As a result, Management adjusted the deferred revenue from prior periods as Other Income. Adjustments to the current period were considered revenues in the period. Management evaluated revenue from Endstream Communications and recognized a customer prepayment of $5.38. These are not expected to recur. On October 4, 2022 Talos Fund exercised its right to convert the principal and accrued interest from its promissory note in the amount of $297,364 at $0.58 per share of the Company's common stock. The conversion price was above the market price at closing of $0.355 per share. Therefore, the Company recognized a gain of $115,357 on conversion.

The Company'sCompany’s provision for income taxes was not material and the effective tax expense,rate was 0% for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management's best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxesexcept in the United States and numerouscertain foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimate are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. The reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, to the Company's effective tax rate isjurisdictions, as follows:

  April 30,

Change in valuation allowance (78,624) (910,720)

The tax effects of temporary differencesit has concluded that give rise to the Company's net deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 are as follows:

  April 30,  July 31, 
  2023  2022

 $- $- 

The Company has approximately $21,446,000 of NOL carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. The tax laws enacted in 2017 also changed the treatment of NOL. Prior to the change, NOL could be carried back up to two years and carried forward up to 20 years to offset taxable income. In the new tax law, the NOL that can be carried forward is limited to 80% of the taxable income, can no longer be carried back, but are allowed to be carried forward indefinitely. The new law will apply to NOL arising in tax years beginning December 31, 2017, hence, $3,000,000 of the NOL will be subject to the 80% limitation and will be carried forward indefinitely while $15,773,000 of the NOL will be carried forward for 20 years and will begin to expire in 2036.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred taxthese assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

As of April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company's policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as a tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the quarters ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022. As of April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

Going Concern

As of April 30,October 31, 2023, doubt existed as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Company 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 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.

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 to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibilities, 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 JanuaryOctober 31, 2023. 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 JanuaryOctober 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. This is due to an inherent staffing limitation and the Principal Financial Officer and the President are the same individual. That individual does not maintain day-to-day banking responsibilities to provide some limitation in such risks.

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. The President and Principal Financial Officer are the same individual. 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

Effective November 1, 2018 the management and accounting resources of the 1stPoint subsidiary assumed responsibility ofWe have not identified any changes in our internal controls. The Company views this migration to have a positive material impact on our ability to maintain internal controlscontrol over financial reporting as 1stPoint has a separation in banking, day-to-day accounting andthat occurred during the period ended October 31, 2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting responsibilities, however, the President and Principal Financial Officer are the same individual..
