HAMMER FIBER OPTICS HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (“the Company”) is a telecommunications company investing in the future of wireless technology. Hammer’s “Everything Wireless” go to market strategy includes the development of high-speed fixed wireless service using its wireless fiber platform, Hammer Wireless® AIR, Mobility, Over-the-Top services such as voice, SMS and video collaboration services, the construction of smart city networks and hosting services including cloud and colocation.
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. The Plan of Merger also provides for a 1 for 1,000 exchange ratio for shareholders of both the Company and the HRO Holdings, which had the effect of a 1 for 1,000 reverse split of the common stock. 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”). Accordingly, thereafter, the Company’s name was changed and the shares of common stock began trading under new ticker symbol “HMMR” as of May 27, 2016. The merger was effected on July 19, 2016.
In 2016 Hammer Fiber Optics Investments Ltd deployed its first beta network in Atlantic County, New Jersey. The network used a spectrum license agreement from Straightpath Communications, LLC. On January 17, 2018 Verizon Communications, LLC purchased Straightpath Communications, LLC and on July14 2018, Verizon terminated the spectrum license agreement effective October 31, 2018 despite communications that it would continue to honor the agreement. On October 31, 2018 the Company ceased operations of the network in Atlantic County and subsequently classified the subsidiary as a discontinued operation.
On November 1, 2018, the Company acquired Open Data Centers, LLC, 1stPoint Communications, LLC and its subsidiaries. 1stPoint and its subsidiaries possess CLEC licenses in Florida, New York State, and a nationwide CMRS (Commercial Mobile Radio Services) license. The companies operate data center facilities in Piscataway, New Jersey and Homewood, Alabama.

NOTE 3 - 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”). The interim financial statements for the three and nine months ending April 30, 2021 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, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) at www.sec.gov
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. There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact it will have on the company's operations, supply chain and demand for its products. As a result, the ultimate impact on the company's business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
On May 5, 2020, and on February 26, 2021 the Company’s 1stPoint Communications LLC subsidiary entered into two notes payable, each for $88,097 individually, with Bank of America, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) under the CARES Act. The loans remain outstanding at January 31, 2021. The Company has filed for loan forgiveness pursuant to the PPP Loan rules for the loan dated May 5, 2020 and has met the obligations for forgiveness. The Company intends to file for loan forgiveness for the second loan and also intends to meet the requirements as established by the PPP rules.
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 depreciated over their respective lease terms. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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, 2020, 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:

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 — unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability (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 and its subsidiaries, 1stPoint Communications, LLC and its subsidiaries, which includes Shelcomm, Inc, Endstream Communications, LLC and American Network Inc.. The financial statements for Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. It’s subsidiary Hammer Fiber Optics Investments, 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 (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, 2021, and April 30, 2020, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 provides for improvements to nonemployee share-based payment accounting by expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The awards will be measured at grant date, consistent with accounting for employee share-based payment awards. The measurement date has been redefined as the date at which the grantor and grantee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award. The requirement to reassess classification of equity- classified awards upon vesting has been eliminated. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 August 1, 2018.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 provides for improvements for accounting guidance related to leasing treatments on financial statements as a response to user input. The update maintains two classifications of leases, Financial lease and Operating leases. The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after July 31, 2021. The company has not yet adopted this standard but there may be impact to the presentation of the Company’s financial statements during the period of adoption.

NOTE 4 – 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 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 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Hammer Fiber Optics Investment Ltd ceased operations in the Atlantic County geographical market on October 31, 2018 when Verizon Communications, LLC terminated the spectrum lease agreement.

NOTE 8 – INDEFINITE LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company has $3,113,827 of recognized indefinite lived intangible assets, which consist of customer contract assets from acquisitions and goodwill. 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 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
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 matured 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 $725,831. 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 July 31, 2019 and 2018. The interest accrued was $219,434 at July 31, 2019.
The $1,000,000 note matured on June 9, 2018 at which time the principal became due in its entirety, in addition to simple interest accrued at 3%. The company is currently in default on this loan. However, in November 1, 2018, as a term of the Stock Purchase Agreements signed as part of the acquisition of Open Data Centers, LLC, 1stPoint Communications LLC and Endstream Communications LLC, this party agreed to convert the $1,000,000 and $2,400,000 notes at $3 per share of Common Stock at a time of the Company’s choosing.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a related party on May 5, 2020 and May 30, 2020 in the amounts of $14,000 and $12,000 respectively.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense, 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 taxes in the United States and numerous 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, 2021 and 2020, to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:
|
| April 30, | ||

Income tax benefit provision at statutory rate | $ | 863,257 | $ | (110,415) |
Change in valuation allowance |
| (863,257) |
| 110,415 |
| $ | - | $ | - |
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020 are as follows:
|
| April 30, |
| July 31, |

The Company has approximately $18,773,000 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 tax 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, 2021 and April 30, 2020, 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, 2021 and April 30, 2020. As of April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years from 2015 and forward remain open to examination by federal and state authorities due to net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30, 2020
Revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020 were $611,237 and $388,900, respectively, an increase of 57.17%. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units.
During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $609,606 compared with $453,269, an increase of 34.49%, for the comparable period ended April 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units and the discontinuation of the Open Data Centers, LLC business unit.
Operating income (loss) increased to $1,631 during the three months ended April 30, 2021 as compared with a loss of $64,369, an increase of 102.53%. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units.
The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $13,989 and $10,934 during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020 respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020 interest and other expense was $9,908 and $8,482 respectively.
During the three months ended April 30, 2021 the Company recorded a loss of $28,277 as compared to a loss of $185,568 for the three months ended April 30, 2020, a decrease of 86.74%. This improvement was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s Over-the Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units.
.
Nine Months Ended April 30, 2021 Compared to the nine Months Ended April 30, 2020
Revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020 were $1,604,927 and $1,651,114, respectively, a decrease of 2.80%. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, offset by the expansion of the Company’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $1,655,232 compared with $2,039,247, a decrease of 18.83%, for the comparable period ended April 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, offset by the expansion of the Company’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units.
Operating loss decreased to $50,305 during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 as compared with a loss of $388,133, a decrease of 87.04%. The increase was primarily due the impact of COVID-19, offset by the expansion of the Company’s Over-the-Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021 the Company recorded net income of $4,110,749 as compared to a loss of $525,784 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020, an increase of 881.83%. This improvement was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s Over-the Top (“OTT”) business segment which includes its SMS messaging and hosting business units and gains due to the settlement of two large claims against its Hammer Fiber Optics Investments, Ltd. subsidiary.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 or the Company increases its cash flow from operations through sale of services in the ongoing business units, Endstream Communications, 1stPoint Communications, Open Data Centers and its new markets.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2021 the Company’s total cash increased by $1,477, compared to a decrease in cash of $18,168 in the nine months ended April 30, 2020. Cash flow from Operating Activities decreased by $341,232, compared to a decrease of $228,328 in the nine months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the settlement of expenses from prior discontinued operations.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company’s investing activities used $25,235, compared to $35,153 provided by investing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the investments in Wikibuli, Inc. in 2020.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company netted $367,944 in cash from financing activities compared with $245,313 used during the nine months ended April 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the proceeds from PPP loans.
Going Concern
As of April 30, 2021, 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.
19
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 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 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 April 30, 2021. 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 April 30, 2021, 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
We have not identified any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended April 30, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
