History
A small oil and gas hopeful that diluted heavily to clear debts, drifted into acquisitions and licences tied to FOMO and Vikram Grover, and by September 2024 was licensing an AI building-safety platform.
2010-2014: A move into oil and gas
In April and May 2010 the company, then called Homeland Resources, borrowed $55,000 and $50,000 from an unrelated lender (exhibits name Radium Ventures Corp.) on unsecured demand loans at 6.5%. It then signed a loan agreement for up to $1,000,000 at 7.5%, with 50,000 restricted shares going to the lender for each $100,000 borrowed. The money funded a 5% working interest in an Oklahoma 3-D seismic project and a 5% interest in a four-prospect Oklahoma drilling program. The filing also reported a change in shell company status.
The record then goes quiet until 2014. Shares on issue were 60,300,000 at the end of 2011 and 2012, and 60,800,000 at the end of 2013. In August 2014 the company issued 100,309,142 shares to settle $1,063,276.90 of debts, cutting debt but heavily diluting existing holders. In September it borrowed $88,500 from KBM Worldwide on a convertible note, and its board approved cutting authorised shares to 100,000,000 and a 1-for-5 reverse split. In November it said its earlier 10-Q should not be relied on, because a gain on selling oil and gas working interests had been overstated at $147,978 rather than $73,871, turning a reported profit into a loss.
2015-2018: Telesecurity talks and the debt squeeze
In January 2015 the company agreed to buy $7,500,000 of stock in Telesecurity Sciences (TSS), with a warrant for the same amount, to reach 50% ownership. This was a turn toward imaging technology, but it depended on financing. The agreement expired on July 15, 2015, and talks about buying a TSS division continued without any assurance.
Meanwhile the convertible notes did their damage. Between September and October 2015, 34,929,106 shares were issued as KBM, LG Capital and Typenex converted notes at falling prices. KBM and Vis Vires alleged default because authorised shares were insufficient, and the company said it was unlikely to pay by their deadline. It also said oil revenues had fallen and that it needed financing to file its annual report. In July 2018 the company deregistered its securities, ending its duty to report to the SEC. The record is silent for the years after.
2021-2022: New owners, new directions
In July 2021 the company, now Himalaya Technologies, bought 100% of KANAB CORP. by issuing 300,000 Series B Preferred shares, under agreements with FOMO CORP and Vikram Grover, who was now CEO. A loan from FOMO WORLDWIDE followed in June 2021. Shares on issue stood at 97,734,883 at the end of 2021 and 147,201,861 at the end of 2022.
In October 2022 it signed a binding agreement to buy a Midwest training software provider's assets for up to $280,000, though it warned financing was not assured. In November it agreed to sell its Ranken Energy stake to former CEO David St. James for $112,000, paid as accrued compensation. The filing said the wells were fully depleted on its books and non-core, which ended its remaining oil and gas exposure.
2023-2024: Deals with FOMO and InsureTEK
In May 2023 Himalaya sold KANAB to FOMO WORLDWIDE for partial forgiveness of FOMO's loan. In June it bought 210,000,000 Peer to Peer Network shares from FOMO, stated at $42,000, by issuing 1,680,000 Series A Preferred shares. Days later the KANAB sale was reversed, though the $17,017 loan forgiveness stayed. Shares on issue reached 233,203,037 at the end of 2023.
In December 2023 Himalaya sought $5-7 million of debt to buy two Florida contractors, a sign maker and a modular builder, with no agreement signed. On August 12, 2024 it signed a partnership with InsureTEK, including a four-year licence to an AI and Internet-of-Things loss-control platform, in exchange for 200,000 Series B Preferred shares and a $250,000 7.5% two-year convertible note. Shares on issue were 389,283,476 at the end of 2024. As of September 3, 2024, the company was incorporated in Wyoming rather than Nevada, and the Ranken sale, the training software purchase and the Florida deals were all unconfirmed.
