• During the period ended October 31, 2019 the net loss from both continuing and discontinued operations decreased to $139,684 from $513,425, a decrease of 73%.

• During the period Hammer closed on the acquisition of the assets of American Network, Inc., providing certain key interconnection agreements in the State of New York.

“We have turned our attention to building the components of the Everything Wireless strategy and selling the OTT services that have already been developed,” added Levitt. “Our revenues are now primarily generated from our hosting businesses and the OTT technologies that have been developed as part of the foundation of Everything Wireless, including the SMS/testing business. We anticipate that we will begin to derive revenues from our Hammer Wireless business unit in the coming quarters as those networks complete their testing.”
