FUSE GROUP HOLDING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED) AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

 

Note 1 – Organization and Operations

 

Fuse Group Holding Inc. (the “Company” or “Fuse Group” or “We”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 24, 2013.  Fuse Group currently explores opportunities in the mining industry. On December 6, 2016, the Company incorporated Fuse Processing, Inc. (“Processing”) in the State of California. Processing seeks business opportunities in the mining industry and is currently investigating potential mining targets in Asia and North America.  Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Processing. 

 

Fuse Group and Processing provide consulting services to mining industry clients to find mine acquisition targets within the parameters set by the clients, in circumstances in which the mine owner is considering selling its mining rights.  The services of Fuse Group and Processing include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as the ownership of the mine and whether the mine meets all operation requirements and/or is currently in operation.

  

In March 2017, Processing acquired 100% ownership of Fuse Trading Limited (“Trading”) for HKD1 (US$0.13). Trading had no operations prior to the acquisition by Processing. Trading seeks mining-related business opportunities in Asia.

 

On May 26, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the State of Nevada to (i) increase its authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 and (ii) effect a corresponding 5-for-1 forward stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Split”).  The consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) were retroactively restated to reflect the Stock Split for the periods presented.

 

On May 3, 2018, the Company incorporated Fuse Technology Inc. (“Technology”) in the State of Nevada.  Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Technology. Technology is mainly engaged in IMETAL system development. The IMETAL software will allow the Company to operate a platform which the Company plans to use to facilitate investment in raw metals, find specialized minerals, and exploit these opportunities, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

 

On April 29, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Fuse Enterprises Inc. to Fuse Group Holding Inc. Also on April 29, 2019, stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock approved the Amendment. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada on April 30, 2019, and became effective on May 13, 2019.  On May 29, 2019, the Company changed its trading symbol on OTC Markets from FNST to FUST.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) included herein were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, previously filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019, results of operations for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, were made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

 

Basis of Consolidation 

 

The CFS include the accounts of Fuse Group and its subsidiaries, Processing, Trading and Technology. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.   

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).

 

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

 

(i)

Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

 

(ii)

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company having incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

 

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change because there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) for disclosures about fair value (“FV”) of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the FV of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring FV in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about FV measurements. 

 

Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a FV hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure FV into three broad levels.  The FV hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three levels of FV hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1

 

Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2

 

Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3

 

Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

8

Table of Contents

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their FVs are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The FV hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the FV measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their FV because of the short maturity of those instruments. 

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  The Company had accounts receivable of $50,000 at June 30, 2019. The Company had no bad debt allowances at June 30, 2019.

 

Property and Equipment 

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; while additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets and estimated lives as follows:

 

Computer and office equipment

5 years

Office furniture

7 years 

Leasehold decoration and renovation

10 years

Production machinery

10 years

Autos

5 years

  

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB ASC for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the FV option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements.

The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. 

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

 

In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. 

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.  Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective and transition dates: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on October 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of October 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the Company did not have any revenue prior to October 1, 2018. As the Company will not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption.

 

Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify 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 revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that was included in the financial statements or tax returns. 

 

10

Table of Contents

 

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. 

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. 

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company follows paragraph 740-10-25 of the FASB ASC. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.

 

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 740-10-25 at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.  The tax years 2015 - 2017 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. 

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). 

 

Cash Flows Reporting 

 

The Company follows paragraph  230-10-45-24 of the FASB ASC for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect Method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB ASC to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.  The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB ASC.

Software Development Costs

 

The Company incurs costs to develop software programs to be used primarily to meet its internal needs and to market to others. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs for these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, the software will be used to perform the function intended, and the value will be recoverable. In accordance with ASC 985-20-25, costs incurred before product feasibility is established and all design and coding is completed are expensed. Reengineering costs and minor modifications and enhancements that do not significantly improve the overall functionality of the software are expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had not completed the preliminary project stage or the design stage, and accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any costs.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its CFS.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its FV, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its CFS.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 718 to non-employee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. The amendments specify that ASC 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The new guidance is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this guidance.

 

SEC Disclosure Update and Simplification

 

In August 2018, the SEC issued Securities Act Release No. 33-10532 that amends certain disclosure requirements, including extending to interim periods the annual requirement to disclose changes in stockholders’ equity. Under the new requirements, registrants must now analyze changes in stockholders’ equity, in the form of a reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods, with subtotals for each interim period. The final rule was effective in November 2018. The Company adopted the final rule and included a reconciliation of the changes in stockholders’ equity in its Form 10-Q starting from the quarter ending December 31, 2018.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying CFS were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the accompanying CFS, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5.92 million at June 30, 2019, and net loss of $82,431 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private or public offering, or by obtaining loans from banks or others.  While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds on reasonable terms and conditions, there can be no assurances to that effect.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

The CFS do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 – Prepaid expenses (current and noncurrent)

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had prepaid D&O insurance and prepaid consulting expenses to Risun Intelligent Technology Co., Limited (“Risun”) of $75,263. 

 

On August 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Consultant Agreement Service Contract with Risun. Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Risun shall provide services to the Company for market research, business strategy, business development and other business advisory services related to the iMetal project. The Company paid Risun the full service fee of $103,508 in August 2018. The service term began on August 1, 2018 and expired on February 1, 2019. For the nine and three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded consulting expense to Risun of $69,005 and $0, respectively. 

 

In addition, as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had another prepaid expense of $1,000,000.  On January 4, 2017, Processing entered into a Consulting and Strategist Agreement with a consulting company for a six-month term.  On July 3, 2017, the Company and the consulting company extended the Consulting and Strategist Agreement to January 3, 2018 at no additional cost, and the Agreement was subsequently further extended to July 3, 2018. The consultant provided Processing with market research findings, exploration and advice on business development opportunities in certain countries, and other general business advisory services. Processing paid a deposit of $1,325,000 for the consulting fee, of which $325,000 was expensed as a consulting fee based on the agreement, and the remaining $1,000,000 of which would have been refunded to the Company if the Company had not made an investment and/or entered into a business relationship in Mexico. The consulting company found acquisition targets for the Company, and on June 22, 2018, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with a seller for the purchase of five mines located in different areas of Mexico for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. Upon the execution of the MOU, the Company acquired the exclusive right to purchase the mines from the seller, effective until September 30, 2018. The parties have entered into an oral agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay the $1,000,000 purchase price upon receiving approvals from the Mexican government allowing for the transfer of the mining concession. The transfer request has been submitted to, and is being processed by, the Mexican government, but that processing was delayed due to elections in Mexico. The Company expects to receive the government approval in October 2019. Following the signing of the MOU, this prepaid item which relates to the acquisition of assets will be part of the asset acquisition cost and, now that an agreement to purchase the mines has been entered into, was classified as a non-current asset.

  

Note 6 – Other payables 

 

As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had other payables of $1,631 and $9,633, respectively. Other payables mainly consisted of salary and payroll tax payables.

Note 7 – Notes payable (related party)

 

On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with one of its major shareholders (“Purchaser”). Under the Agreement, the Company sold a Convertible Promissory Note of $6,869,818 with interest of 6% (the “Original Note”). The Original Note was to mature on December 18, 2018, and any outstanding principal and interest on the Original Note could be converted at any time prior to maturity at the lender’s option at $1.50 per share of the Company’s common stock.  The Original Note was not converted due to the conversion price being higher than the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of the issuance of the Original Note.

 

On March 20, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note Purchase Agreement with the major shareholder and Trading (the “Amended Agreement”).  The Amended Agreement amended and restated the Original Agreement.  Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Original Note issued under the Original Agreement was cancelled and Trading issued a Promissory Note to the Purchaser of $6,869,818, with a term of 12 months, renewable for up to an additional 12 months at the Purchaser’s option, with interest of 3% (the “New Note”).  The Purchaser did not have a conversion option under the New Note. The principal amount of the New Note and any unpaid interest accrued thereon may become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including but not limited to Trading’s insolvency or the institution of bankruptcy proceedings against Trading. The Amended Agreement was renewed on March 20, 2018 with a new maturity date of July 2, 2018. 

 

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Trading and the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company sold the Purchaser in a private placement 19,628,050 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $0.35 per Share for $6,869,818 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchaser paid the Purchase Price through cancellation of the New Note. There is no gain or loss arising from the note conversion due to the conversion price being the market price and there is no substantial change in the cash flows. The Private Placement was completed pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company issued the Shares to the Purchaser on July 6, 2018. 

 

Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity

 

Shares Authorized 

 

Upon formation, the number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company was authorized to issue was 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On May 26, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the State of Nevada to (i) increase its authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 and (ii) effect a corresponding 5-for-1 forward stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Split”).  The CFS were retroactively restated to reflect the Stock Split for the periods presented. 

 

On July 6, 2018, the Company issued 19,628,050 shares for repayment of the note payable of $6,869,818 (See Note 7 – Notes payable (related party)).

 

Note 9 – Income Tax

 

The President of the United States signed into law H.R. 1 (the “Tax Reform Law”). The Tax Reform Law, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United States tax law, including various provisions that are expected to impact the Company. The Tax Reform Law reduced the federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective October 1, 2018 for the Company. The Company will continue to analyze the provisions of the Tax Reform Law to assess the impact on the Company’s CFS.

 

At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward for income tax purposes; for federal income tax purposes, the NOL arising in tax years beginning after 2017 may only reduce 80% of a taxpayer’s taxable income, and may be carried forward indefinitely; for California income tax purposes, the entire NOL can be carried forward up to 20 years. The Company has NOL carry-forwards for Federal and California income tax purposes of $5.71 million and $5.63 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. No tax benefit was reported with respect to these NOL carry-forwards in the accompanying CFS because the Company believes the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets for the NOL for both federal and California State of approximately $1.57 million as of June 30, 2019, was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a full valuation allowance.

Note 10 – Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Major Customers

 

Fuse Group and Processing provide consulting services to mining industry clients to find mine acquisition targets within the parameters set by the clients, in circumstances in which the mine owner is considering selling its mining rights.  The services of Fuse Group and Processing include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as ownership of the mine and whether the mine meets all operation requirements and/or is currently in operation.

 

Cost of revenue mainly consisted of the management’s travel expenses to visit these mines and consulting expenses paid for mine expertise during the mine due diligence period.

 

Currently the Company has provided three potential mine acquisition opportunities to its clients, with one mine located in Asia and two mines located in North America.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded revenue of $1,016,000 for the services provided. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded revenue of $250,000 for the services provided.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had one customer which accounted for 96% of the Company’s total revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had one customer which accounted for 100% of the Company’s total revenue.

On April 1, 2017, the Company entered into a strategic consulting agreement with a consulting company with a term of one year. The compensation to the consulting company is $50,000 per year, payable in equal installments at the end of each month. The agreement was extended to March 31, 2020 with the same terms.

 

 

2)

On May 4, 2018, the Company entered into a Mineral Mining Interactive Technology and Related Application Software Development Service Contract (the “Contract”) with Prime King Investment Limited (“Prime King”) described as below:

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Prime King is providing services to the Company relating to the development, installation and debugging of a software system called IMETAL. The IMETAL software will allow the Company to operate a platform which the Company plans to use to facilitate investment in raw metals, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

IMETAL is a platform which we committed to build and through which we plan to provide not only institutional clients, but also individual investors, with a chance to invest in raw metals, find specialized minerals, and exploit these opportunities, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Prime King shall also provide training to the Company’s staff per the Company’s request as well as maintenance for the Project for one year after the completion of the Project, in each case free of charge.

 

Under the Contract, the Company shall pay Prime King $3,000,000, of which 50% was paid within 10 days of the execution of the Contract, and the remaining 50% was to be paid within 10 days of the completion of the Project after inspection and approval by the Company. The service was required to be completed in three months, however, on July 17, 2018, the deadline was extended until October 17, 2018, and the Company agreed to extend the deadline further, due to changes in technical requirements requested by the Company. Up to September 30, 2018, the Company paid Prime King $1.50 million, which was recorded as software development costs. The Company did not pay anything to Prime King for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company previously expected the project to be completed by March 31, 2019. However, the process has been further delayed because the Company is currently evaluating certain functions of this platform and regulatory compliance requirements for such functions before it can determine whether to include them in the platform. The Company expects the project will be completed soon after the Company completes its evaluation of the platform’s regulatory issues.

Overview

  

Fuse Group Holding Inc. (the “Company” or “Fuse Group” or “we”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 24, 2013.  Fuse Group currently explores opportunities in the mining industry. On December 6, 2016, the Company incorporated Fuse Processing, Inc. (“Processing”) in the State of California. Processing seeks business opportunities in the mining industry and is currently investigating potential mining targets in Asia and North America.  Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Processing.  In March 2017, Processing acquired 100% ownership of Fuse Trading Limited (“Trading”) for HKD1 ($0.13). Trading had no operations prior to the acquisition by Processing, and Trading expects to be engaged in mining-related businesses. On May 3, 2018, the Company incorporated Fuse Technology Inc. (“Technology”) in the State of Nevada.  Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Technology. Technology is mainly engaged in IMETAL system development. The IMETAL software will allow the Company to operate a platform which the Company plans to use to facilitate investment in raw metals, find specialized minerals, and exploit these opportunities, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

 

Fuse Group and Processing provide consulting services to mining industry clients to find acquisition targets within the parameters set by the clients, when the mine owner is considering selling its mining rights.  The services of Fuse Group and Processing include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as ownership of the mine and whether the mine meets all operation requirements and/or is currently in operation.

 

On January 4, 2017, Processing entered into a Consulting and Strategist Agreement with a consulting company for a six-month term.  On July 3, 2017, the Company and the consulting company extended the Consulting and Strategist Agreement until January 3, 2018 at no additional cost, and the Agreement was subsequently further extended to July 3, 2018. The consultant provides Processing with market research findings, exploration and advise on business development opportunities in certain countries, and other general business advisory services. Processing paid a deposit of $1,325,000 for the consulting fee, of which, $325,000 was expensed as a consulting fee based on the agreement, and the remaining $1,000,000 of which would have been refunded to the Company if the Company had not made an investment and/or entered into a business relationship in Mexico. The consulting company found acquisition targets for the Company, and on June 22, 2018, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with a seller for the purchase of five mines located in different areas of Mexico for $1,000,000. Upon the execution of the MOU, the Company acquired the exclusive right to purchase the mines from the seller until September 30, 2018. The parties entered into an oral agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay the $1,000,000 purchase price upon receiving approvals from the Mexican government allowing for the transfer of the mining concession. The transfer request was submitted to, and is being processed by, the Mexican government, but that processing was delayed due to elections in Mexico, the Company expected to receive the government approval in October 2019. 

 

On April 29, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Fuse Enterprises Inc. to Fuse Group Holding Inc. Also on April 29, 2019, stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock approved the Amendment. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada on April 30, 2019, and became effective on May 13, 2019.  On May 29, 2019, the Company changed its trading symbol on OTC Markets from FNST to FUST.

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 

 

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

 

We have historically generated revenue from sales of our marketing and web development services directly to small and medium-sized businesses. We have acquired customers through direct telemarketing and referrals. We currently seek business opportunities in the mining industry and are investigating potential mining targets in Asia and North America.  In addition to our own investment in mining businesses, we also provide consulting services to clients which are mining business investors with potential mine acquisition targets within the specific parameters set by those clients, where the mine owner is considering selling its mining rights. Our services include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as ownership of the mine and whether the mine meets all operation requirements and/or is currently in operation.

 

Currently we have provided three potential mine acquisition opportunities to clients, with one mine located in Asia and two mines located in North America. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded revenue of $250,000 for the services provided. Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0. Our cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $56,946 and $0, respectively, mainly for the management’s travel expenses to visit these mines and consulting expenses paid for mine expertise during the mine due diligence period, resulting in a gross profit of $193,054 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

 

Costs and Expenses

 

The major components of our expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are outlined in the table below:

)

Total operating expenses

  $ 163,403     $ 2,602,488     $ (2,439,085

)

 

The decrease in our operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, was due to a decrease in consulting fees of $2,416,590. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a few outstanding consulting agreements for advisory services on business development strategy in the Far East, including in Hong Kong and Russia, and acquisition opportunities in Mexico and North America. Some of the consulting agreements entered in prior periods expired in the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

The Company also had a consulting agreement for developing software programs to allow the Company to operate a platform called IMENTAL for investment in raw metals. This platform would be used primarily to meet the Company’s internal needs, and may in the future be made available to external users for a fee. In the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company paid $1.50 million, which was recorded as software development costs. The Company did not pay anything for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company previously expected the project to be completed by March 31, 2019. However, the process has been further delayed because the Company is currently evaluating certain functions of this platform and regulatory compliance requirements for such functions before it can determine whether to include them in the platform.  The Company expects the project will be completed soon after the Company completes its evaluation of the platform’s regulatory issues.

 

Non-operating expenses, net

 

Net non-operating expense was $167 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $60,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease in non-operating expense was mainly due to a decrease in interest expense by $60,110 resulting from repayment of the loan through issuance of shares in June 2018.

Our revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.

The decrease in our operating costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2018, was due to a decrease in consulting fees of $2,284,296. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a few outstanding consulting agreements for advisory services on business development strategy in the Far East, including in Hong Kong and Russia, and acquisition opportunities in Mexico and North America. Some of the consulting agreements entered in prior years expired in the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Non-operating expenses, net

 

Net non-operating expenses were $833 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, compared to non-operating expenses of $117,017 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease in non-operating expense was mainly due to a decrease in interest expense by $157,433, which was partly offset by a decrease in interest income by $41,410.

Liquidity

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company reported net loss of $82,431 and $3,255,976, respectively. 

 

If we are not successful in transitioning into the mining business and establishing profitability and positive cash flow, additional capital may be required to maintain ongoing operations. We have explored and continue to explore options to provide additional financing to fund future operations as well as other possible courses of action. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, securing lines of credit, sales of debt or equity securities (which may result in dilution to existing shareholders), loans and cash advances from other third parties or banks, and other similar actions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding (if needed), on acceptable terms or at all, through a sale of our common stock, loans from financial institutions, or other third parties, or any of the actions discussed above. If we cannot sustain profitable operations, and additional capital is unavailable, lack of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on our business viability, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Our cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $63,527 and $3,468,353, respectively.  The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was mainly due to decreased net loss by $3,173,545, resulting from increased revenue of $1,016,000 from the Company’s provision of mine scouting services to clients and decreased prepaid expense by $261,621 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. 

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities 

 

Our cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0 and $3,925,000, respectively. The cash inflow for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was from the collection of outstanding notes receivable of $3,925,000.

Item 4.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the end of the period covered by this report that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses. The control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses are as described below.

 

 1.  We do not have an Audit Committee. While we are not legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is of the utmost importance for entity-level control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently, the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of an audit committee.

 

2.  We did not implement appropriate information technology controls. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was retaining copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. 

 

3.   We currently lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We have one employee assigned to a position that involves processing financial information, resulting in a lack of segregation of duties so that all journal entries and account reconciliations are reviewed by someone other than the preparer, heightening the risk of error or fraud.

 

We have taken certain actions to remediate the material weakness related to our lack of U.S. GAAP experience. We have engaged an outside CPA with U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience to supplement our current internal accounting personnel and assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

If we are unable to remediate the material weakness, or other control deficiencies are identified, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner. Due to our small size and the early stage of our business, segregation of duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. We have limited capital resources and have given priority in the use of those resources to our business development efforts. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. However, we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis. As our operations grow and become more complex, we intend to hire additional personnel in financial reporting and other areas. However, there can be no assurance of when, if ever, we will be able to remediate the identified material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

We may from time to time be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As we grow and gain prominence in the marketplace we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings.
