CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, in the sections captioned “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere. Any and all statements contained in this Annual Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Terms such as “may,” “might,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “project,” “estimate,” “pro-forma,” “predict,” “potential,” “strategy,” “anticipate,” “attempt,” “develop,” “plan,” “help,” “believe,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect,” “future,” and terms of similar import (including the negative of any of the foregoing) may be intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, not all forward-looking statements may contain one or more of these identifying terms. Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report may include, without limitation, statements regarding (i) the plans and objectives of management for future operations, (ii) a projection of income (including income/loss), earnings (including earnings/loss) per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial items, (iii) our future financial performance, including any such statement contained in a discussion and analysis of financial condition by management or in the results of operations included pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (iv) our beliefs regarding potential clinical and other health benefits of our medical products, and (v) the assumptions underlying or relating to any statement described in points (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above.

 

The forward-looking statements are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events or circumstances and may not be realized because they are based upon our current projections, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and other influences, many of which we have no control over. Actual results and the timing of certain events and circumstances may differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. Factors that may influence or contribute to the inaccuracy of the forward-looking statements or cause actual results to differ materially from expected or desired results may include, without limitation, our inability to obtain adequate financing, the significant length of time and resources associated with the development of our products and related insufficient cash flows and resulting illiquidity, our inability to expand our business, significant government regulation of our business and the healthcare industry, lack of product diversification, existing or increased competition, results of arbitration and litigation, stock volatility and illiquidity, and our failure to implement our business plans or strategies. A description of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report appears in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties related to them and to the risk factors. We disclaim any obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report to reflect any new information or future events or circumstances or otherwise.

 

Readers should read this Annual Report in conjunction with the discussion under the caption “Risk Factors,” our financial statements and the related notes thereto in this Annual Report, and other documents which we may file from time to time with the SEC.

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On May 28, 2014, Golf Rounds.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Golf Rounds”), consummated a “reverse merger” transaction with Fuse Medical, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fuse”). Details of the transaction are provided in Item 1 of this Annual Report.

 

As a result of the “reverse merger” transaction, Golf Rounds agreed to continue the business operations of Fuse and change its name to Fuse Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Prior to the transaction, Golf Rounds was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”) and did not conduct any business.

 

In accordance with “reverse merger” accounting treatment, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the transaction will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Fuse prior to the transaction in all future filings with the SEC.

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, this Annual Report will reflect the reporting requirements of smaller reporting companies as set forth in Regulation S-K.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Historical Company Information

 

Golf Rounds was incorporated in 1968 as a Florida corporation.

 

Until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1992, Golf Rounds was engaged in the wholesale distribution of aluminum alloys, steel and other specialty metals under the name American Metals Service, Inc. This entity liquidated its assets and ceased operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1992. Golf Rounds did not conduct any business operations from such time until May 1999.

 

In May 1999, Golf Rounds acquired the assets of PKG Design, Inc., the developer of two sports-related Internet websites: golfrounds.com and skiingusa.com. In July 1999, Golf Rounds redomesticated through the merger of Golf Rounds into a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, with the Delaware subsidiary surviving. Also, in July 1999, in connection with the acquisition of these websites, Golf Rounds formally changed its name to Golf Rounds.com, Inc. In August 2001, Golf Rounds ceased operations of the golfrounds.com and skiingusa.com websites.

 

On December 18, 2013, Golf Rounds entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Fuse, Project Fuse LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and D. Alan Meeker, solely in his capacity as the representative of the Fuse members (the “Representative”), which agreement was amended on March 3, 2014 and April 11, 2014 solely to extend the termination date set forth therein (as so amended, and as further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Fuse, with Fuse surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Golf Rounds (the “Merger”). The Merger was effective as of May 28, 2014, upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the legal existence of Merger Sub ceased and each membership interest unit of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and became one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable membership interest unit of Fuse, so that after the Effective Time, Golf Rounds became the holder of all of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Fuse.

 

On May 28, 2014, as a result of the Merger, Golf Rounds acquired Fuse and the business of Fuse became our business. For more information on the Merger, see the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on August 29, 2014.

 

Fuse was formed in Delaware on July 18, 2012 to market, distribute and sell internal fixation, durable bone materials, biologics, tissues, surgical and other related surgical products for use in a variety of surgical procedures. Subsequent to the formation of Fuse, two physician partnerships were formed to operate separate businesses focusing on the distribution of medical devices. Fuse Medical V, LP, was formed on November 15, 2012 and is owned 59% by Fuse, 1% by Fuse Management V, LLC (the General Partner) and 40% by individual physicians. The second partnership, Fuse Medical VI, LP was formed on January 31, 2013. Fuse Medical VI, LP was owned 59% by Fuse, 1% by Fuse Management VI, LLC (the General Partner) and 40% by individual physicians. Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP are limited partnerships. Prior to the Merger, the General Partners in Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP agreed to surrender their interests and the individual physicians that owned limited partnership interests in Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP agreed to exchange their interests to corresponding interests in Fuse, each becoming one of the Holders. Accordingly, the above companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fuse immediately prior to the Merger. Certificates of Termination were filed for Fuse Medical V, LP, Fuse Medical VI, LP, Fuse Management V, LLC, and Fuse Management VI, LLC on February 12, 2015. A Certificate of Cancellation for Fuse Medical, LLC, was filed on February 20, 2015.

 

Overview

 

The Company’s business is to market, distribute and sell internal fixation, durable bone materials, biologics, tissues, surgical and other related surgical products for use in a variety of surgical procedures in various types of facilities (ambulatory surgical centers, hospitals and physician offices and other medical facilities) where surgeons and doctors treat patients and operate. The Company markets, distributes and sells a variety of existing FDA-approved and/or state licensed products and services manufactured or produced by other organizations where the Company is considered a distributor and/or a stocking distributor. Currently, these products consist of plates and screws for recurring bone fractures, allografts for bone chips and tendons, and amniotics. The amniotic products are derived from the inner layer of the human amniotic tissue and then processed by the manufacturer which results in an FDA-approved allograft. Amniotics has historically made up over half of the Company’s revenues. The Company utilizes its physician relationships, corporate partners, facility relationships and partnerships, as well as its knowledge of the healthcare industry, to further its business objectives. All sales are made in compliance with both the Stark Law and the federal anti-kickback statute, as further discussed below. In doing so, the Company’s overall goal is to add value to the healthcare industry by bringing down the overall cost of internal fixation, biologics, bone materials, tissues, surgical implants and other products in the industry.

Product Distribution Channels and Customer Base

 

The Company utilizes multiple distribution models including representative networks and independent contractors. The Company’s customers are physicians, orthopedic surgeons, hospitals, surgical facilities and physician practices. The Company distributes the products on behalf of manufacturers and, in some cases, receives a commission related to sales numbers. In most cases, the Company purchases products directly from manufactures and resells the products from existing inventory. The Company’s distribution model also utilizes its physician investment partners as part of the network. Beginning with the inclusion of Dr. Pratt and Dr. Dei on the Company management team and others of similar reputations who are investors in the Company, the Company is building a nationwide network of specialists in select clinical specialties, many of whom are leaders in their field, that the Company hopes will clinically utilize the Company’s product lines through appropriate channels in a manner consistent with professional standards of practice. These network specialists include heads of teaching hospitals, universities and clinical resident and fellowship programs at some of the most respected institutes in the nation.

 

For products sold on a commission basis, the Company receives payment from the manufacturer or distributor. For products sold from the Company’s inventory, the Company receives payment directly from its customers. Currently, the Company has a limited number of customers that it sells products to. In the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had a concentration of sales in a limited number of hospital and surgical facilities. Amniotics has historically made up the largest portion of the Company’s business. The Company recognizes that the diversification and growth of its customer base is instrumental to its long-term strategic and financial success. The Company has a diverse line of products and services and intends to grow both the number of customers and product sales through its product distribution channel strategy.

 

Our principal supplier is Texas AmBioMed, LLC (“AmBioMed”). Fuse entered into a Distributor Agreement with AmBioMed on August 2, 2012, pursuant to which Fuse acts as a non-exclusive global distributor of the following allograft products: AmnioFix® Spine Products, AmnioFix® Nerve Wrap, EpiFix® for wound care, AmBioChoice and AmbioChoice Plus. The term of the agreement was for an initial one year term and renews on each August 2nd anniversary date for successive one-year terms unless it is terminated in writing by either party. Fuse is required to purchase at least 10 units of AmBioMed product during each six month period of the agreement, which results in a minimum commitment of $2,640 every six months.

 

On August 20, 2012, Fuse entered into a Commission Agreement with Gulf Coast Surgical Solutions, LLC in which Fuse receives a 25% commission of all of its sales of ETEX Bone Graft products, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the agreement. The Commission Agreement expires at midnight on August 10, 2015, unless terminated by either party with 60 days prior written notice.

 

On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into an Independent Representative Agreement with Vilex, Inc. (“Vilex”) pursuant to which the Company was appointed as a representative of Vilex to promote and sell Vilex’s products in the United States. The Vilex products include certain plates, screws, and related equipment. Under the terms of the agreement with Vilex, the Company is a non-exclusive representative of Vilex, except for certain specified customers. The term of the agreement with Vilex is five years, and will automatically renew for additional one-year periods at the expiration of the original term unless terminated as provided therein. The Company will be paid a commission based on its net sales.

 

On January 8, 2015, the Company entered into a Distribution and Supply Agreement with BioDlogics, LLC (“BioD”), pursuant to which the Company was appointed as a non-exclusive distributor of certain products of BioD and granted the right to promote and sell such products in the United States. The term of the agreement with BioD is from January 8, 2015, through December 31, 2016, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement. The agreement sets forth a quota for the purchase of the products by the Company from BioD for the first year of the agreement, which the Company agreed to use its best efforts to meet or exceed.

Competition

 

For most of the products the Company offers there are a number of integrated competitors, several of which are publically traded, that not only manufacture and produce their own products but also have established distribution and sales networks and participate in large group purchasing organizations within the medical industry. Most of these competitors have linked physicians to their entities by engaging select physician and surgical specialties through consulting agreements, clinical trials remuneration and other compensation models. As mature companies, they also have extensive legacy systems and expensive administrative and sales commission cost structures. In addition, there are numerous independent medical distributorships primarily focused on limited geographic markets and products located across the United States.

 

Intellectual Property

 

At this time the Company holds no intellectual property, patents or trademarks.

 

Regulatory Issues

 

There are both federal and state regulations that may impact the Company’s ability to fully implement its strategic plan.

 

FDA Regulations

 

The manufacturers and suppliers of the products we market are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations (“FDA”), other federal governmental agencies and by state authorities. These regulations govern the approval, clearance or license to commercialize medical devices, biological products and human cellular and tissue products; including compliance with the standards and requirements related to the design, testing, manufacture, labeling, promotion and sales of the products, stringent record keeping requirements, tracking of devices, reporting of potential product defects and adverse events, conduct of corrections and recalls, and other matters. As a distributor and marketer of such FDA-regulated products, we are subject to independent requirements to register and list certain products, we may be required to obtain state licensure or certifications and we may be subject to inspections, in addition to complying with derivative requirements applicable to the manufacturers of the products we market. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in a wide variety of enforcement actions ranging from warning letters to more severe sanctions such as: fines and civil penalties, operating restrictions, injunctions and criminal prosecutions.

 

Affordable Care Act

 

Pursuant to the Physician Payment Sunshine Act (“Sunshine Act”) enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act, we are required to report annually to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) beginning in 2014 certain payments and other transfers of value furnished to physicians and teaching hospitals, as well as certain ownership or investments held by physicians or their family members. These annual reports will be publicly available. Failure to report timely, accurately, and completely may subject us to civil monetary penalties. Some states have laws similar to the federal Sunshine Act.

 

Fraud, Abuse and False Claims

 

We are directly and indirectly subject to certain federal and state laws governing relationships with healthcare providers and pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute (the “AKS”) is a criminal statute that prohibits the payment or receipt of remuneration, in cash or otherwise, in return for referrals of federal healthcare beneficiaries. The CMS has promulgated certain safe harbors that offer protection from liability for arrangements that fall within very specific parameters. The Company intends to utilize the “physician investment interest safe harbor” in the AKS as a business model. To reach the “public company exception” (as defined below) to the AKS, the Company must possess undepreciated net tangible assets related to the furnishing of healthcare items and services of more than $50,000,000 in the previous fiscal year or 12-month period.

 

The Stark Law prohibits physicians or their immediate family members from referring to entities that provide designated health services (“DHS”) to federal program beneficiaries if the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship (either via a compensation arrangement or ownership interest) directly or indirectly in that entity. Similar to safe harbors for the AKS, the Stark Law regulations created a series of exceptions to provide protection for certain types of business arrangements that fall within their parameters. Many states have laws similar to the federal law.

 

In order to meet its objectives in compliance with the Stark Law, the Company will rely on the exception for publicly traded securities (the “Public Company Exception”). This exception effectively permits physicians to own investment securities that may be purchased on terms generally available to the public and which are securities (i) in a corporation that had, at the end of the corporation’s most recent fiscal year, or on average during the previous three fiscal years, stockholder equity exceeding $75,000,000 and (ii) listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or any regional exchange in which quotations are published on a daily basis, or foreign securities listed on a recognized foreign, national, or regional exchange in which quotations are published on a daily basis, or traded under an automated interdealer quotation system operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers.

The Company will not accept federal reimbursement for its products until the Public Company Exception under the Stark Law is available to it. In addition there are various state statutes which may limit the Company’s ability to fully implement our business model until such time as the Company achieves Public Company Exception status. It is the intent of the Company to not sell any product to an insured that would be reimbursed under any government payer system including, but not limited to, Medicare, Tricare or other national or state government beneficiary program.

 

Employees

 

Currently, the Company has 10 employees and 4 independent contractors.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to a variety of risks. The following risk factors describe some of the most significant events, facts or circumstances that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our business plan and the market price for our securities. Many of these events are outside of our control. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

 

We are not currently profitable and we will need to raise additional funds in the future; however, additional funds may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

We have substantial operating expenses associated with the sales and marketing of the products we sell. The sales and marketing expenses are anticipated to be funded from operating cash flow. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient access to liquidity or cash flow to meet our operating expenses and other obligations. If we do not increase our revenue or reduce our expenses, we will need to raise additional capital, which would result in dilution to our stockholders, or seek additional loans. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could result in our inability to pay our expenses as they come due, limit our ability to expand our business operations, and harm our overall business prospects.

 

We may not be able to raise capital or, if we can, it may not be on favorable terms. We may seek to raise additional capital through public or private equity financings, partnerships, joint ventures, dispositions of assets, debt financings or restructurings, bank borrowings or other sources. To obtain additional funding, we may need to enter into arrangements that require us to relinquish rights to certain technologies, products and/or potential markets. If adequate funds are not otherwise available, we would be forced to curtail operations significantly, including reducing our sales and marketing expenses which could negatively impact product sales and we could even be forced to cease operations, liquidate our assets and possibly even seek bankruptcy protection.

 

Pricing pressure and cost containment measures could have a negative impact on our future operating results.

 

Pricing pressure has increased in our industry due to continued consolidation among healthcare providers, trends toward managed care, the shift towards government becoming the primary payer of healthcare expenses, and government laws and regulations relating to reimbursement and pricing generally. Pricing pressure, reductions in reimbursement levels or coverage or other cost containment measures could unfavorably affect our future operating results and financial condition.

 

Product pricing (and, therefore, profitability) is subject to regulatory control.

 

The pricing and profitability of the products we sell may become subject to control by third-party payors. The continuing efforts of governmental and other third-party payors to contain or reduce the cost of healthcare through various means may adversely affect our ability to successfully commercialize our products. In most foreign markets, the pricing and/or profitability of certain diagnostics and prescription pharmaceuticals are subject to governmental control. In the United States, we expect that there will continue to be federal and state proposals to implement similar governmental control though it is unclear which proposals will ultimately become law, if any. Changes in prices, including any mandated pricing, could impact our revenue and financial performance.

 

 
7

 

Future regulatory action remains uncertain.

 

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we, or the manufacturers or distributors that supply us products, fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards and regulations, action by the FDA or other regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions, including restrictions on the marketing or use of the products we sell or the withdrawal of the products we sell from the market. Any such restrictions or withdrawals could materially affect our business and operations.

 

Many competitive products exist and more will be developed, and we may not be able to successfully compete because we are smaller and have fewer financial resources.

 

Our business is in a very competitive and evolving field. Rapid new developments in this field have occurred over the past few years, and are expected to continue to occur. Other companies already have competing products available or may develop products to compete with ours. Many of these products have short regulatory timeframes and our competitors, many with more substantial development resources, may be able to develop competing products that are equal to or better than the ones we market. This may make the products we market obsolete or undesirable by comparison and reduce our revenue.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to engage and retain qualified technical personnel who are difficult to attract.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified technical personnel to assist in research and development, testing, product implementation, low-scale production and technical support. The demand for such personnel is high and the supply of qualified technical personnel is limited. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our technical work force and increases in the wage rates that we must pay or both. If either of these events were to occur, our cost structure could increase and our growth potential could be impaired.

 

Loss of key members of our management who we need to succeed could adversely affect our business.

 

We are highly dependent on the services of key members of our management team, and the loss of any of their services could have an adverse effect on our future operations. We do not currently maintain key-man life insurance policies insuring the life of any member of our management team.

 

Our executive management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, allocate part of their time to other companies.

 

Members of our executive management team, including Mr. Meeker, the Chief Executive Officer and President of our company, are also in management positions with other companies. Each of these individuals may allocate their time between the affairs of the Company and the affairs of other companies. This situation presents the potential for conflicts of interest in determining the respective percentages of their time to be devoted to the affairs of the Company and the affairs of others. In addition, if the affairs of these other companies require members of our management team to devote more substantial amounts of their time to the affairs of the other companies in the future, it could limit their ability to devote sufficient time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our business.

 

We will be required to invest in facilities and equipment on a continuing basis, which will put pressure on us to finance these investments.

 

We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in facilities and state-of-the-art equipment in order to increase, expand or update our capabilities and facilities. However, there can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient funds from operations to maintain our existing facilities and equipment or to finance any required capital investments or that other sources of funding will be available. Additionally, there can be no guarantee that any future expansion will not negatively affect earnings.

 

Our future will depend on our ability to increase sales.

 

We currently sell our products through direct sales by our contract employees and indirectly through distributor relationships. We incurred increased sales and marketing expenses in building and expanding our direct sales force, and there can be no assurance that we will generate increased sales as a result of this effort.

 

 
8

 

There may be fluctuations in our operating results, which will impact our stock price.

 

Significant annual and quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations may be caused by, among other factors, our volume of revenues, the timing of new product or service announcements, releases by us and our competitors in the marketplace of new products or services, seasonality and general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that the level of revenues achieved by us in any particular fiscal period will not be significantly lower than in other comparable fiscal periods. Our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations as to future revenues. As a result, if future revenues are below expectations, net income or loss may be disproportionately affected by a reduction in revenues, as any corresponding reduction in expenses may not be proportionate to the reduction in revenues.

 

Our revenues will depend upon our customers receiving prompt and adequate reimbursement from private insurers and national health systems.

 

Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the healthcare industry in the United States to fundamental change. The ability of hospitals to pay fees for allograft bone tissue products depends in part on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such materials and related treatments will continue to be available from private health coverage insurers and other organizations. We may have difficulty gaining market acceptance for the products we sell if third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement to hospitals. Major third-party payors of hospital services and hospital outpatient services, such as private healthcare insurers, annually revise their payment methodologies, which can result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain medical procedures or the elimination of reimbursement. Further, private healthcare insurer cutbacks could create downward price pressure on our products.

 

Our operating results will be harmed if we are unable to effectively manage and sustain our future growth.

 

We might not be able to manage our future growth efficiently or profitably. Our business is unproven on a large scale and actual revenue and operating margins, or revenue and margin growth, may be less than expected. If we are unable to scale our production capabilities efficiently, we may fail to achieve expected operating margins, which would have a material and adverse effect on our operating results. Growth may also stress our ability to adequately manage our operations, quality of products, safety and regulatory compliance. In order to grow, we may be required to obtain additional financing, which may increase our indebtedness or result in dilution to our stockholders. Further, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain any additional financing.

 

Future business combinations or acquisitions may be difficult to integrate and cause our attention to be diverted.

 

We may pursue various business combinations with other companies or strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, product lines or technologies. There can be no assurance that such acquisitions will be available at all, or on terms acceptable to us. These transactions may require additional financing which may increase our indebtedness or outstanding shares, resulting in dilution to stockholders. The inability to obtain such future financing may inhibit our growth and operating results. Integration of acquisitions or additional products can be time consuming, difficult and expensive and may significantly impact operating results. Furthermore, the integration of any acquisition may divert management’s time and resources from our core business. We may sell some or all of our product lines to other companies or may agree to combine with another company. Selling some of our product lines may inhibit our ability to generate positive operating results going forward.

 

We may be subject to future product liability litigation that could be expensive and our insurance coverage may not be adequate in a catastrophic situation.

 

Although we are not currently subject to any product liability proceedings, and we have no reserves for product liability disbursements, we may incur material liabilities relating to product liability claims in the future, including product liability claims arising out of the usage of our products. We do not currently carry product liability insurance and our insurance coverage and any reserves we may maintain in the future for product related liabilities may not be adequate and our business could suffer material adverse consequences.

 

The manufacturers and suppliers of the products we market are subject to continuing regulatory compliance by the FDA which is costly and could result in delays in the commercialization of the products we market.

 

The manufacturers and suppliers of the products we market are subject to regulation by the FDA. These regulations govern manufacturing of cellular and tissue products as well as the introduction of new medical devices, the observance of certain standards with respect to the design, manufacture, testing, labeling, promotion and sales of the devices, the maintenance of certain records, the ability to track devices, the reporting of potential product defects, the import and export of devices and other matters. Further, the manufacturers that create the products we market are facing an increasing amount of scrutiny and compliance costs as more states are implementing regulations governing medical devices, pharmaceuticals and/or biologics and these regulations could affect many of the products we market, which could impact our sales revenue.

 

 
9

 

As a distributor, we are subject to certain registration and listing requirements by the FDA and similar state authorities.

 

As a distributor and marketer of such FDA-regulated products, we are subject to independent requirements to register and list certain products, may be required to obtain state licensure or certifications and may be subject to inspections, in addition to complying with derivative requirements applicable to the manufacturers of the products we market. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in a wide variety of enforcement actions ranging from warning letters to more severe sanctions such as: fines and civil penalties operating restrictions, injunctions and criminal prosecutions all of which could adversely impact our business.

 

Future revenue will depend on our ability to develop new sales channels and there can be no assurance that these efforts will result in significant revenues.

 

We are heavily dependent on developing sales channels for the products we sell, but there can be no assurance that these channels can be developed or that we will continue to be successful in selling our products. We currently sell the products through representative networks, independent contractors and employed representatives. We are engaging in a major initiative to build and further expand our direct sales force. This effort will have significant costs that will be incurred prior to the generation of revenue sufficient to cover these costs. The costs incurred for these efforts may impact our operating results and there can be no assurance of their effectiveness. Many of our competitors have well-developed sales channels and it may be difficult for us to break through these competitors to take market share. If we are unable to develop these sales channels, we may not be able to grow revenue or maintain our current level of revenue generation.

 

Because we became public through a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms or certain investors.

 

There are coverage risks associated with our becoming public through a reverse merger, including, among other things, security analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us as there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. In addition, we may not attract the attention of major brokerage firms and certain investors due to our low stock price. We cannot assure you that brokerage firms would want to conduct any public offerings on our behalf in the future.

 

The market price of our common stock is extremely volatile, which may affect our ability to raise capital in the future and may subject the value of your investment to sudden decreases.

 

The market price for securities of biotechnology companies, including ours, historically has been highly volatile, and the market from time to time has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Fluctuations in the trading price or liquidity of our common stock may harm the value of your investment in our common stock.

 

Factors that may have a significant impact on the market price and marketability of our securities include:

 

 

·

announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by our collaborative partners or our present or potential competitors;

   

 

·

our issuance of debt, equity or other securities, which we need to pursue to generate additional funds to cover our operating expenses;

   

 

·

our quarterly operating results;

   

 

·

developments or disputes concerning patent or other proprietary rights;

   

 

·

developments in our relationships with employees, suppliers or collaborative partners;

   

 

·

acquisitions or divestitures;

   

 

·

litigation and government proceedings;

   

 

·

adverse legislation, including changes in governmental regulation;

   

 

·

third-party reimbursement policies;

   

 

·

changes in securities analysts’ recommendations;

   

 

·

short selling;

   

 

·

changes in health care policies and practices;

   

 

·

economic and other external factors; and

   

 

·

general market conditions.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. These lawsuits often seek unspecified damages, and as with any litigation proceeding, one cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of pending litigation. Furthermore, we may have to incur substantial expenses in connection with any such lawsuits and our management’s attention and resources could be diverted from operating our business as we respond to any such litigation. We maintain insurance to cover these risks for us and our directors and officers, but our insurance is subject to high deductibles to reduce premium expense, and there is no guarantee that the insurance will cover any specific claim that we currently face or may face in the future, or that it will be adequate to cover all potential liabilities and damages.

 

Shares of common stock are equity securities and are subordinate to any indebtedness.

 

Shares of our common stock are common equity interests. This means that our common stock will rank junior to any outstanding shares of our preferred stock that we may issue in the future and any future indebtedness we may incur and to all creditor claims and other non-equity claims against us and our assets available to satisfy claims on us, including claims in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

 

Additionally, unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest customarily are payable on specified due dates, in the case of our common stock, (i) dividends are payable only when and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, and (ii) as a corporation, we are restricted to making dividend payments and redemption payments out of legally available assets. We have not paid or declared any dividends on our common stock during the past two fiscal years and we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, our common stock places no restrictions on our business or operations or on our ability to incur indebtedness or engage in any transactions, subject only to the voting rights available to shareholders generally.

 

Our stockholders may experience significant dilution if future equity offerings are used to fund operations or acquire complementary businesses.

 

If our future operations or acquisitions are financed through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders could experience significant dilution. In addition, securities issued in connection with future financing activities or potential acquisitions may have rights and preferences senior to the rights and preferences of our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our stock if you expect dividends.

 

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Our current management can exert significant influence over us and make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.

 

Our executive officers and directors beneficially own as a group approximately 44.7% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to assert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of the owners of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders and, accordingly, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

 

Our common stock is considered “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell.

 

The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1, which establishes the definition of a “penny stock” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and therefore may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

 

·

that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

   

·

that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

   

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

   

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

 
11

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. In addition, because the Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of the Common Stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.

  

We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

 

Our certificate of incorporation provides for the authorization to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company. In addition, advanced notice is required prior to stockholder proposals, which might further delay a change of control.

 

If we are deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and be subject to restrictions relating to our activities.

 

The regulatory scope of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which was enacted principally for the purpose of regulating vehicles for pooled investments in securities, extends generally to companies engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities. The Investment Company Act may, however, also be deemed to be applicable to a company that does not intend to be characterized as an investment company but that, nevertheless, engages in activities that may be deemed to be within the definitional scope of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act. While we do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we cannot assure you that we will not be deemed to be an investment company. If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may become subject to certain restrictions relating to our activities, including restrictions on:

 

 

·

the nature of our investments; and

   

  

·

the issuance of securities,

 

and have imposed upon us certain requirements, including: 

 

 

·

registration as an investment company;

   

 

·

adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

   

 

·

compliance with certain burdensome reporting, recordkeeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

 

If we are characterized as an investment company, we would be required to comply with these additional regulatory burdens, which would require additional expense.

 

 
12

  

U.S. and state governmental regulation could restrict our ability to sell the products.

 

AKS is a criminal statute that prohibits the payment or receipt of remuneration, in cash or otherwise, in return for referrals of federal healthcare beneficiaries. The CMS has promulgated certain safe harbors that offer protection from liability for arrangements that fall within very specific parameters. To reach the Public Company Exception to the AKS, we must first possess undepreciated net tangible assets related to the furnishing of healthcare items and services of more than $50,000,000 in the previous fiscal year or 12-month period. The Stark Law prohibits physicians or their immediate family members from referring to entities that provide DHSs to federal program beneficiaries if the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship (either via a compensation arrangement or ownership interest) directly or indirectly in that entity. Similar to safe harbors for the AKS, the Stark Law regulations created a series of exceptions to provide protection for certain types of business arrangements that fall within their parameters.

 

In order to meet our objectives in compliance with the Stark Law, we will rely on the Public Company Exception. This exception effectively permits physicians to own investment securities that may be purchased on terms generally available to the public and which are securities (i) in a corporation that had, at the end of the corporation’s most recent fiscal year, or on average during the previous three fiscal years, stockholder equity exceeding $75,000,000 and (ii) listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or any regional exchange in which quotations are published on a daily basis, or foreign securities listed on a recognized foreign, national, or regional exchange in which quotations are published on a daily basis, or traded under an automated interdealer quotation system operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers.

 

Many states also include laws similar to AKS or the Stark Law to which we may be subject to. If it is determined that our business arrangements fail to comply with the AKS, the Stark Law or similar state laws, we could face significant civil and/or criminal penalties.

 

Pursuant to the Sunshine Act enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act, we are required to report annually to the CMS beginning in 2014 certain payments and other transfers of value furnished to physicians and teaching hospitals, as well as certain ownership or investments held by physicians or their family members. These annual reports will be publicly available. Failure to report timely, accurately, and completely may subject us to civil monetary penalties. Some states have laws similar to the federal Sunshine Act.

 

The scope and enforcement of all of these laws is uncertain and subject to rapid change, especially in light of the lack of applicable precedent and regulations. There can be no assurance that federal or state regulatory or enforcement authorities will not investigate or challenge our current or future activities under these laws. Any investigation or challenge could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any state or federal regulatory or enforcement review of us, regardless of the outcome, would be costly and time consuming. Additionally, we cannot predict the impact of any changes in these laws, whether these changes are retroactive or will have effect on a going-forward basis only.

 

Our independent auditors included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph in their opinion about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has had losses from operations for the last several quarters and is currently dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources. Ultimately, we hope to resume viable profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized and our business plan is fully implemented. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Recurring losses from operations raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In their report dated April 15, 2015, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, concerning the Company’s assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Management plans to raise additional funds through offering our shares of common stock in private and/or public offerings and through debt financing, if available and needed. Our continued net operating losses increases the difficulty in meeting our plans and we might not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, which could materially adversely affect our business and operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 

Our only facility is our 1,572 sq. ft. leased principal executive offices, located at 4770 Bryant Irvin Court, Suite 300, Fort Worth, Texas 76107. We believe that our present business property is adequate and suitable to meet our needs until we consummate a business combination. The terms of the lease are governed by a lease agreement dated December 23, 2013 between JAR Financial, LLC and BC Legacy Management, LLC. Fuse entered into an Assignment of Lease on February 15, 2014 with JAR Financial, LLC, which was consented to by BC Legacy Management, LLC, in which Fuse agreed to be bound by the terms of the December 23, 2013 lease agreement. The lease expires on January 31, 2016, subject to Fuse’s rights to renew as set forth therein. The base rent is $19.00 per sq. ft. and is subject to certain adjustments as provided in the lease.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

On January 27, 2014, M. Richard Cutler and Cutler Law Group, P.C. (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 2014-03355, against Fuse, Alan Meeker, Rusty Shelton, Jonathan Brown, Robert H. Donehew and Golf Rounds (the “Defendants”). On April 21, 2014, the complaint was dismissed for “want of prosecution.” The Plaintiffs had 30 days from April 21, 2014 to file a motion to reinstate the case and no timely action was taken by the Plaintiffs. However, the Plaintiffs did file a motion to reinstate on May 22, 2014 and it was granted. The Defendants argued a Motion to Dismiss before the court on July 25, 2014 and, on July 28, 2014, the court granted the motion and dismissed the Plaintiffs’ (i) breach of fiduciary duty claim against all Defendants, (ii) suit on sworn account claim against all Defendants except Fuse, and (iii) quantum meruit claim against all Defendants except Fuse. The Defendants were also awarded attorneys’ fees in the amount of $4,343.00. Discovery in this matter ended on March 25, 2015 and Plaintiffs failed to file any discovery requests during the period or seek an extension of the period. The Defendants believe the lawsuit to be completely without merit and are continuing to vigorously defend against the remaining claims. The Defendants plan on moving for summary judgment in this matter for failure to prosecute.

 

Richard Cutler is the sole principal of Plaintiff, Cutler Law Group, which provided legal representation to its client, Craig Longhurst (“Cutler’s Client”), that was interested in engaging in a transaction with Fuse and Golf Rounds (“Cutler’s Failed Transaction”). The Plaintiffs had alleged that Cutler’s Failed Transaction failed to materialize notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Cutler and his law firm to document the transaction. The Plaintiffs further had alleged that the Defendants continued to pursue a similar transaction without Cutler’s Client or the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs had claimed that the Defendants were responsible for damages in the amount of (i) $46,465 plus interest because Plaintiffs were not paid their legal fees by Cutler’s Client and did not receive equity in Golf Rounds that Plaintiffs hoped would have been issued from Cutler’s Failed Transaction; (ii) $46,465 plus interest due to Defendants being unjustly enriched from Plaintiffs’ legal services to Cutler’s Client; (iii) $1,186,000 plus interest, being the alleged value of shares that Plaintiffs claimed to be entitled from Cutler’s Failed Transaction, which amount should allegedly be tripled as exemplary damages as a result of intentional fraud and/or negligent representations that some or all of the Defendants allegedly committed and that such conduct allegedly constitutes conspiracy to commit fraud; (iv) $1,186,000, allegedly arising from a breach of a Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure Agreement to which Plaintiffs were not a party; (v) $1,000,000 for breach of fiduciary duty by the Defendants because they would have been directors and officers of the surviving corporation in Cutler’s Failed Transaction had it not failed and Defendants’ moving on to another transaction without Plaintiffs; and (vi) Plaintiffs’ attorneys fees and costs for having brought the action.

Dividends

 

We have not paid or declared any dividends on our common stock during the past two fiscal years and we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contains certain provisions permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the liability of directors. The provisions eliminate a director’s liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances where such liability may not be eliminated under applicable law. Further, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions to indemnify the Company’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

As a result of the Merger and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company, formally known as Golf Rounds.com, is not pertinent, and, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, the historical financial results of Fuse, the acquirer for accounting purposes, prior to the Merger are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

 

The following discussion highlights Fuse’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected its consolidated financial condition as well as its liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on Fuse’s audited and unaudited financial statements contained in this Annual Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

 

On May 30, 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2014, the comparable period reflected below is for the year ended August 31, 2013.

 

Overview

 

The medical distribution industry is in a mature life-cycle phase. For most of the products we offer there are a number of integrated competitors, several of which are publicly traded, that not only manufacture and produce their own products, but also have established distribution and sales networks and participate in large group purchasing organizations within the medical industry. Most of these competitors have linked physicians to their entities by engaging select physician and surgical specialties through consulting agreements, clinical trials remuneration and other compensation models. As mature companies, they also have extensive legacy systems and expensive administrative and sales commission cost structures. In addition, there are numerous independent medical distributorships primarily focused on limited geographic markets and products located across the United States.

 

 
16

 

Few competitive companies, however, are structured to allow for physician and key stakeholder equity, profit participation and operational input in their companies. As a growth company, we currently compete through the following means:

 

 

·

Partnering with both established and new manufacturers and suppliers who are seeking to have access to a national distribution network for their products.

   

 

·

Engagement of physician investment in the Company through private market placements, acquisition of physician-owned companies and other partnership models.

   

 

·

Participation of physicians, both investor and non-investor, through our physician leadership structure, which includes the Chief Medical Officer, product and service line directors as well as national, regional, divisional and sectional medical directors.

   

 

·

Utilization and maintenance of a flat administrative organizational structure, thereby reducing our overhead cost structure.

   

 

·

Installation of a customer relationship management system for managing the Company’s interactions with current and future customers, which allows the Company to better organize, automate, and synchronize sales, marketing, customer service, and technical support.

   

 

·

Implementation of a minimum sales representative model.

   

 

·

Shadow pricing of competitor products that provide cost savings to our end consumers.

   

 

·

Engagement of our physician investors to assist in introducing our cost-saving products in healthcare facilities within their service area.

 

Strategy

 

Our strategy is to continue to expand our end customer, physician, manufacturer and supplier partnership base, both in the regions we currently serve and in new regions across North America that are conducive to our business model. The principal elements of our business strategy are to:

 

Integrate and Increase Profits

 

We intend to continue integrating and implementing best practices across all aspects of our operating facilities and product service lines, including financial, staffing, technology, products and packaging, distribution network and compliance.

 

Our customers and partners require high levels of regulatory compliance, which we intend to accomplish through employee training, facility policies and procedures coupled with ongoing analysis of operating performance. We intend to implement new accounting, invoicing, and logistics management and information technology systems. We believe all of these measures will increase the quality of service we can provide to our customers, increase the visibility of the Company, and maximize profitability.

 

 
17

 

Expand Services and Supply Volume

 

We intend to expand our product and services supply volume as well as our number of facility clients by growing our relationships with product manufacturers and suppliers. We plan to increase the volume we sell and distribute in the following ways: continued development of our sales and account management representative network structure to drive physician and facility relationships; growth of our partnership model with other healthcare manufacturers and providers who bring incremental service lines, strategic value and synergy; attraction of new services and customers by demonstrating product quality, customer service and cost value propositions; and attraction of new sales and service revenue in territories we feel may be underserved and provide ease of market penetration. We plan to increase the volume we collect from our end user by implementing specific sales programs and, in the future, increasing personnel dedicated to sales generation.

 

In January 2014, we executed a distributorship agreement with Flower Orthopedics Corporation (“Flower”), a national orthopedic internal fixation manufacturer. This national semi-exclusive agreement allowed for direct product sales to acute care hospitals under both consignment and stock-and-bill arrangements. In addition, the agreement allowed for profit participation for ambulatory surgical centers and physician offices business that the Company was responsible for developing in conjunction with another national medical supply and distribution company. On July 16, 2014, we terminated the distributorship agreement with Flower.

 

On July 17, 2014, we entered into an Independent Representative Agreement with Vilex, Inc. (“Vilex”), another national orthopedic internal fixation manufacturer, pursuant to which the Company was appointed as a representative of Vilex to promote and sell Vilex’s products in the United States. Under the agreement, the Company is a non-exclusive representative of Vilex, except for certain specified customers. The term of the Agreement is five years, and will automatically renew for additional one-year periods at the expiration of the original term unless terminated as provided therein. The Company will be paid a commission based on its net sales.

 

Improve our Corporate Office

 

The Company has completed improvements to its leased corporate offices and has relocated its executive and senior management team members. We feel this will provide for greater integration of our planning, operating and reporting systems.

 

Pursue Selective Strategic Relationships or Acquisitions

 

In the United States, the Company will continue to explore additional mergers and acquisitions and seek strategic alliances on a national basis with other companies that are developing, producing or distributing healthcare products and services. We plan to focus on partnerships and acquisitions that not only add revenues, cash flow and profitability to our financial position, but those that provide short and long-term growth potential and support the strategic goals and objectives of the Company.

 

Explore International Markets

 

Internationally, we are exploring strategic partnerships and business models to penetrate the healthcare sectors for the products and services the Company provides.

 

As a long-term objective, the Company will continue to explore the expansion of our operations and products into international markets. We have developed several relationships in markets where we believe the products, services and systems will be able to support an underserved market for western-based healthcare including the Middle East and Asia. We believe that moving into international markets will further establish the Company as a leader in our industry sector and will add incremental net income to the organization.

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended August 31, 2013

 

Net Revenues

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net product revenues were $941,086, compared to $979,539 for the year ended August 31, 2013, a decrease of $38,453, or 3.9%. Our pricing for amniotics was high when we initially began selling them. Subsequently, the reimbursable amounts received by our customers from insurance companies were found to be much lower than we anticipated. During April 2013 through June 2013, we significantly reduced our retail pricing in order to better align our prices with reimbursable amounts received by our customers from insurance companies. In addition, commencing November 2013, we began selling larger order quantities of the same product (subject to minimums) at a discounted selling price. On an aggregate basis, the selling prices of our products decreased by approximately 44.5% during the current year period. The decrease in selling prices at the retail level had no effect on outstanding accounts receivable for sales made prior to April 2013. Selling prices were changed prospectively and no bad debt occurred as a result of the decreased selling prices. Even though the number of units sold increased substantially (see cost of revenues below) during the current year period compared to the prior year period, this was more than offset by the decrease in contract pricing extended to our retail customers as well as the commencement of selling larger order quantities of the same product (subject to minimums) at a discounted selling price. Accordingly, net revenues decreased while the costs of revenues increased.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, consulting revenues were $0, compared to $79,800 for the year ended August 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we elected not to move forward with this consulting relationship.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, our cost of revenues was $485,384, compared to $203,532 for the year ended August 31, 2013, representing an increase of $281,852, or 139%. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we established an allowance for inventory obsolescence of $133,319. Excluding the allowance for obsolescence recognized during 2014, our cost of revenues increased by $148,533, or 73.0%. During the periods presented (including the period from April to June 2013 when we significantly reduced our retail pricing), the costs of our individual inventory items did not materially change. In other words, our cost of revenues, on a per unit basis, did not increase significantly during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the prior year period. Accordingly, excluding the establishment of an allowance for inventory obsolescence, the percentage increase in costs of revenues represented approximately the same percentage increase in the number of units sold. The increase in cost of revenues was due to an increase in the number of units sold as well as the establishment of a reserve for inventory obsolescence. Cost of revenues includes costs to purchase goods, transportation, storage, sales representatives and account management.

 

Gross Profit

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we generated a gross profit of $455,702, compared to $855,807 for the year ended August 31, 2013, a decrease of $400,105, or 46.8%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a decrease in contract pricing extended to our customers during the period from April to June 2013, the commencement in November 2013 of selling larger order quantities of the same product (subject to minimums) at a discounted selling price, and the establishment of an allowance for inventory obsolescence of $133,319 and a decrease in consulting revenues of $79,800. Excluding the establishment of an allowance for inventory obsolescence in the current year period and consulting revenues for the comparable prior year period, gross margins were 62.6% in the current year vs. 79.2% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross margin percentage is primarily the result of the aforementioned decrease in contract pricing and commencement of selling larger order quantities at a discounted selling price.

Operating Expenses

 

General, Administrative and Other

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, general, administrative and other operating expenses increased to $1,469,864 from $419,752 for the year ended August 31, 2013, representing an increase of $1,050,112, or 250%. This increase is primarily attributable to the costs associated with being a public company whereas there were no such costs in the prior year period. In particular, salaries and wages increased by $448,620 and legal and professional fees increased by $343,169. Further, this increase is attributable to the Company’s expansion strategy and related costs to fund operations. General, administrative and other operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted primarily of salaries and wages, legal and professional fees, travel expenses, rent and insurance.

 

Merger Costs

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, merger costs increased to $320,448 from $0 for the year ended August 31, 2013. Merger costs were incurred for the merger with Golf Rounds.com, Inc. that closed on May 28, 2014.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, interest expense increased to $71,612 from $669 for the year ended August 31, 2013, representing an increase of $70,943, or 10,604%. Interest expense increased due to the issuance of an aggregate of $1,452,014 of promissory notes payable since December 31, 2013. Interest expense also includes interest on the Company’s line of credit, which is described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company generated a net loss of ($1,405,045) compared to net income of $435,386 for the year ended August 31, 2013. The change from net income to a net loss is primarily due to the increase in operating expenses.

 

Four Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Four Months Ended December 31, 2012

 

Net Revenues

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, net product revenues were $250,947, compared to $405,912 for the four months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $154,965, or 38.2%. Our pricing for amniotics was high when we initially began selling them. Subsequently, the reimbursable amounts received by our customers from insurance companies were found to be much lower than we anticipated. During April 2013 through June 2013, we reduced significantly our retail pricing in order for our prices to align better with reimbursable amounts from insurance companies received by our customers. On an aggregate basis, the selling prices of our products decreased by approximately 54.9% during the current year period. The decrease in selling prices had no effect on outstanding accounts receivable for sales made prior to April 2013. Selling prices were changed prospectively and no bad debt occurred as a result of the decreased selling prices. Even though the number of units sold increased substantially (see cost of revenues below) during the current year period compared to the prior period, the increased number of units sold was more than offset by the significant decrease in contract pricing extended to our customers. The decrease in contract pricing extended to our customers primarily accounted for the decrease in net revenues.

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, consulting revenues were $26,600, compared to $0 for the four months ended December 31, 2012.

Cost of Revenues

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, our cost of revenues was $83,109, compared to $60,620 for the four months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $22,489 or 37.1%. During the period from April to June 2013, the costs of our inventory items did not materially change. Accordingly, the 37.1% increase in costs of revenues represented approximately the same increase in the number of units sold. The increase in cost of revenues was due to an increase in the number of units sold. Our cost of revenues, on a per unit basis, did not increase significantly during the four months ended December 31, 2013. Cost of revenues includes costs to purchase goods, transportation, storage, sales representatives and account management.

 

Gross Profit

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, we generated a gross profit of $194,438, compared to $345,292 for the four months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $150,854, or 43.7%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in net revenues, which resulted primarily from a reduction in contracted prices in client facilities.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General, Administrative and Other

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, general, administrative and other operating expenses increased to $388,791 from $142,689 for the four months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $246,102, or 173%. General, administrative and other operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages, stock-based compensation, legal and professional fees and travel expenses, as well as other general and administrative expenses. This increase is attributable to Fuse’s expansion strategy and related costs to fund operations.

 

We intend to expand our product and services supply volume, as well as our number of facility clients, by growing our relationships with product manufacturers and suppliers and development of our sales and account management representative network structure to drive physician and facility relationships. This expansion will result in an increase in our working capital needs to fund the purchase of inventory, the cost of labor and other operating costs. This growth will require not only an increase in our net borrowings, but also will result in an increase in our accounts payable to the manufacturers as well as a corresponding increase in sales and associated accounts receivable from clients. The use of funds as part of our expansion strategy will primarily consist of increased inventory, salaries and case coverage costs, legal fees, information technology platforms, and travel and marketing expenses.

 

Interest Expense 

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, interest expense increased to $746 from $112 for the four months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $634, or 566%. Interest expense increased due to a higher average balance outstanding on the Company’s line of credit.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

For the four months ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated a net loss of ($194,729) compared to net income of $202,491 for the four months ended December 31, 2012. The change from net income to net loss is primarily due to the decrease in net revenues and the increase in general, administrative and other operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $1,168,784 and resulted primarily from a net loss of $1,405,045 and an increase in accounts receivable of $54,339, partially offset by a decrease in inventories of $111,733 (resulted from establishing a reserve for obsolescence of $133,319), advances to Golf Rounds.com, Inc. expensed to merger costs of $105,000, and an increases in accounts payable of $93,210.

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $70,313 and resulted from $60,954 of purchases of property and equipment, advances to Golf Rounds.com, Inc. of $10,000, offset by cash acquired in reverse merger of $641.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,294,313 and resulted primarily from proceeds of $1,452,014 ($724,238 from related parties) from the issuance of promissory notes, partially offset by repayment of our line of credit of $100,000.

 

The Company maintained a $100,000 line of credit with Trinity Bank bearing interest of 2.25% per year, based on a 360-day year. The line of credit required minimum monthly payments of interest only. The line of credit was secured by a money market account owned by Dr. and Mrs. Christopher Pratt that is also maintained at Trinity Bank. Dr. Pratt is the Chief Medical Officer and a director of the Company. On October 16, 2014, the line of credit was fully repaid.

 

During the period from January 1, 2014 through May 28, 2014, Fuse made cash distributions of $40,583 to the minority interest owners of Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP. Pursuant to the partnership agreements of Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP, available cash flow distributions were to be paid within 30 days of month-end. Prior to the Merger, and effective on and as of the business day immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the general partners in Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP agreed to surrender their interests and the individual physicians that owned the remaining limited partnership interests in Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP agreed to exchange their interest for corresponding interests in Fuse Medical, LLC, each becoming one of the Holders. Accordingly, as of May 28, 2014, distributions to the minority interest owners of Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP ceased. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends prior to regaining profitability. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, our capital requirements and our general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We intend to increase our revenues by expanding our client base as well as growing the number of manufacturers and suppliers from which we obtain products. We plan to increase the number of facility clients and physicians offering our products by utilizing our existing sales and account management representative network structure to drive physician and facility relationships. Our plans to increase the number of product lines available for sale will result in entering into agreements with manufacturers or suppliers, some of which may require the purchase of inventory while others may involve consigned inventory or a commission structure not requiring the purchase of inventory. In sum, our expansion strategy will likely require an increase in our working capital to fund increased inventories, accounts receivable and operating costs, including salaries and case coverage costs, legal fees, information technology platforms and travel and marketing expenses, offset by any increases in our accounts payable to the product manufacturers and suppliers. The working capital needed for this expansion shall be derived from an increase in our net borrowings, sale of our securities or a combination thereof.

 

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been from the issuances of debt and equity securities. Since December 31, 2013, we raised gross proceeds of $1,512,014 through the issuance of two-year promissory notes payable. The notes were unsecured, bore interest at 7.0% and required 18 monthly payments of interest only commencing at the beginning of month seven. Our outstanding notes payable had maturity dates commencing December 2015. On December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of notes payable of $1,512,014 and accrued interest of $57,893 was converted into 1,509,528 common shares of the Company. Since the beginning of 2015, we have received proceeds of: (i) $100,000 from a loan from a significant stockholder; (ii) $100,000 from the sale of common shares to a related party; and (iii) $80,000 from the sale of common shares in private offerings.

At December 31, 2014, we had working capital of $147,054, including $67,555 in cash and cash equivalents. As of April 13, 2015, the Company had approximately $137,000 in available cash. The Company is currently attempting to raise up to $2,000,000 from private offerings (of which $80,000 has been raised to date) in order to fund operations. These proceeds will be used to meet cash flow deficits during the next 12 months and to accelerate the growth of the business. If we are unable to raise capital, we believe that, with our current available cash along with anticipated revenues, we will need to reduce operating expenses. Depending on our cash position, we may spend up to $100,000 in capital expenditures over the next 12 months. These capital expenditures will be allocated across growth initiatives, including expansion of amniotics relationships. Depending on the results of management’s efforts to realize efficiencies in technology development and utilize our physician network, our capital expenditures may be less than anticipated. Our cash balances are kept liquid in order to support our growing infrastructure needs. The majority of our cash is concentrated in a large financial institution.

 

The estimated costs of operations while we ramp up our revenues is substantially greater than the amount of funds we had available on December 31, 2014. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has had losses from operations for the last several quarters and is currently dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources in order to sustain operations and eventually resume profitable operations. Management plans to raise additional funds through offering our shares of common stock in private and/or public offerings and through debt financing, if available and needed. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any financings or that such financings will be sufficient to sustain our business operations or permit the Company to implement its intended business strategy. The Company plans to become profitable by increasing the sale of internal fixation, durable bone materials, biologics, tissues, surgical and other related surgical products that it markets, distributes and sells.

 

In their report dated April 15, 2015, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 concerning the Company’s assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of current working capital requirements and recurring losses from operations.

 

The Company has financed its operations from the issuance of notes payable and equity securities. As of December 31, 2014, all notes payable other than those listed below had been converted into common shares of stock of the Company.

 

On May 28, 2014, we acquired $17,250 of notes payable due to PharmHouse Pharmacy. As of April 13, 2015, the aggregate notes payable are $17,250 to PharmHouse Pharmacy. The maturity dates and amounts of each individual notes payable are as follows:

On May 28, 2014, as part of the Merger, the Company assumed an aggregate of $17,250 of promissory notes payable to PharmHouse Pharmacy. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 3.25% and require quarterly payments of interest only. The outstanding principal balance along with all accrued and unpaid interest is due at maturity.

 

In addition, the Company expects Cooks Bridge, LLC and Cooks Bridge II, LLC to assist in the funding of its working capital and growth needs in the future.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangement

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

No related party transactions had a material impact on our operating results. See Item 13 below and Note 13 - “Related Party Transactions” to the Company’s financial statements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 - “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s financial statements, which are an exhibit hereto, certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation throughout the next fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As discussed below, certain conditions currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has had losses from operations for the last several quarters and is currently dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources. Ultimately, we hope to resume viable profitable operations when operating efficiencies can be realized and our business plan is fully implemented. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Recurring losses from operations raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In their report dated April 15, 2015, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, concerning the Company’s assumption that we will continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to raise additional funds through offering our shares of common stock in private and/or public offerings and through debt financing, if available and needed. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any financings or that such financings will be sufficient to sustain our business operations or permit the Company to implement its intended business strategy. The Company plans to become profitable by increasing the sale of internal fixation, durable bone materials, biologics, tissues, surgical and other related surgical products that it markets, distributes and sells.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Controls

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among the Company’s existing or incoming directors or officers.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by the SES regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

 

Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that to date, all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were met.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

 

Corporate Governance

 

The entire board of directors serves as the audit committee. The board does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined under the securities laws. The board does not believe it is necessary to have a financial expert, given the early stage of the Company’s commercial operations and limited financial resources and activities. The Company believes that none of its directors would be considered “independent,” applying the NASDAQ listing standards for independence for members of an audit committee. No report of the audit committee is required in this information statement.

 

The Company is not required to have and does not have a compensation committee. The Company does not believe it is necessary for the board of directors to appoint a compensation committee because the volume of compensation matters that will come before the board for consideration permits the entire board to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Fuse has not paid any compensation to its executive officers or directors in the last two fiscal years. The entire board participates in consideration of executive officer and director compensation. The Company expects that the board will make all decisions regarding executive officer compensation. The board will consider the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for the other executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer will have no role in determining his own compensation. The Company has not paid any fee to or otherwise engaged any compensation consultants.

 

The Company also is not required to have and does not have a nominating committee. Given the limited scope of the Company’s operations, the board believes appointing a nominating committee would be premature and of little assistance until the Company’s business operations are at a more advanced level.

 

The Company does not have a written policy or formal procedural requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations for director nominations. However, the board will consider recommendations from stockholders. Stockholders should communicate nominee suggestions directly to the board and accompany the recommendation with biographical details and a statement of support for the nominee. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination.

 

The entire board of directors decides on nominees. The board reviews any written information provided with respect to the candidates and interviews the candidates. Although there are no formal criteria for nominees, the board believes that persons should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have a financial background, be familiar with acquisition strategies and money management and be able to promote a diversity of views based on the person’s education, experience and professional employment. Based on the information gathered, the board then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director.

 

 
28

 

The committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons. The Company does not pay any fee to or otherwise engage any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees. Though the committee does not have specific guidelines on diversity, it is one of many criteria considered by the board when evaluating candidates.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Mr. Meeker is the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The board does not believe that the Company’s size or the complexity of operations warrants a separation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer functions. Furthermore, the board believes that combining the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board promotes leadership and direction for the board and for executive management, as well as allowing for a single, clear focus for the chain of command. The board does not have a lead independent director.

 

The board of director’s primary function is one of oversight. The board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight and reviews management’s risk assessment and risk management policies and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors

Fuse Medical, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fuse Medical, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014, the four month period ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended August 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Fuse Medical, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their consolidated operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014, the four month period ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended August 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a significant net loss and negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December 31, 2014. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FUSE MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND AUGUST 31, 2013 

AND THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED) 

 

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

Overview

 

Fuse Medical, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Fuse Medical”) was formed in Delaware on July 18, 2012 as Fuse Medical, LLC. Fuse Medical V, LP was formed in Texas on November 15, 2012 and upon formation was owned 59% by Fuse Medical, LLC. Fuse Medical VI, LP was formed in Texas on January 31, 2013 and upon formation was owned 59% by Fuse Medical, LLC.

 

On December 18, 2013, Fuse Medical, LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Golf Rounds.com, Inc. (the “Registrant”), Project Fuse LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golf Rounds.com, Inc.) (“Merger Sub”), and D. Alan Meeker, solely in his capacity as the representative of the members of Fuse Medical, LLC (the “Representative”). Effective as of May 28, 2014, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Golf Rounds.com, Inc. amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name from “GolfRounds.com, Inc.” to “Fuse Medical, Inc.” On May 28, 2014, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement closed wherein Merger Sub merged with and into Fuse Medical, LLC, with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc. (the “Merger”). Accordingly, on May 28, 2014, the Company was recapitalized in a reverse merger (See Note 10). All references to the Company or Fuse Medical before May 28, 2014 are to Fuse Medical, LLC. On May 30, 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31.

 

Fuse Medical distributes diversified healthcare products and supplies, including biologics, internal fixation products and bone substitute materials in several states. The Company strives to provide cost savings and clinical outcomes to its customers, which include physicians and medical facilities.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of $1,405,045 and used $1,168,784 of cash in our operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, we had $67,555 of cash and cash equivalents on hand, stockholders’ equity of $198,504 and working capital of $147,054. While management expects operating trends to improve over the course of 2015, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on securing additional debt or equity financing from outside investors. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the period from December 31, 2013 through June 16, 2014, the Company issued several two-year promissory notes in exchange for aggregate cash proceeds of $1,512,014, of which 784,238 was received from related parties. On December 31, 2014, the foregoing borrowings were converted to shares of common stock on December 31, 2014.

 

Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and to fund operations by raising additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2014, we began to ramp up our revenues derived from the sale of internal fixation products, which will increase the amount of gross profit from operations. Accordingly, we shall have increased spending on payroll expenses as we increase our professional staff in this effort. Since the beginning of 2015, we have received proceeds of: (i) $100,000 from a loan from a significant stockholder; (ii) $100,000 from the sale of common shares to a related party; and (iii) $80,000 from the sale of common shares in private offerings, of which we are seeking up to $2,000,000 from these private offerings. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available, or if available, at rates favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND AUGUST 31, 2013 

AND THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED) 

 

The estimated costs of operations while we ramp up our revenues is substantially greater than the amount of funds we had available on December 31, 2014. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fuse Medical, LLC, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, valuation of inventories, the estimates of depreciable lives and valuation of property and equipment, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would have occurred if securities or other contracts to issue common shares (e.g. warrants and options) had been exercised or converted into common shares at the beginning of the period, or issuance date, if later, and had shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

 

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for: (1) the equivalent number of shares received by the accounting acquirer as a result of the reverse merger as if these shares had been outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest period presented; and (2) the 14.62 to 1 reverse stock split that occurred May 28, 2014 (See Note 10).

 

As of December 31, 2014, common stock equivalents included options to purchase 11,628 common shares. These instruments are not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Prior to May 28, 2014, the Company had no potentially dilutive instruments and, accordingly, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is 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. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

  

 

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

   
 

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities; and

   
 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The recorded value of notes payable approximates their fair value based upon their effective interest rates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential bad debts.

 

The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations, such as bankruptcy proceedings and receivable amounts outstanding for an extended period beyond contractual terms. In these cases, the Company uses assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may also record a general allowance as necessary.

 

Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise has evaluated other circumstances that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts. Previously written-off accounts receivable subsequently collected are recognized as a reduction of bad debt expense when funds are received.

AND THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED) 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include biologics, internal fixation products, bone substitute materials, and tendon anchor systems. The Company reviews the market value of inventories whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories may not be recoverable from the estimated future sales price less cost of disposal and normal gross profit. In cases where the market values are less than the carrying value, a write down is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the market value of inventories.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets per the following table.

 

Category

  Amortization Period  

Computer equipment

 

3 years

 

Furniture and fixtures

   

5 years

 

Software

   

3 years

 

 

Upon the retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed and a gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses potential impairment to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. An impairment loss is recorded when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and an expense to operating results. Based upon management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of its long lived assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the fees are fixed or determinable; (iii) no significant Company obligations remain; and (iv) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company reports revenues for transactions in which it is the primary obligor on a gross basis and revenues in which it acts as an agent (earning a fixed percentage of the sale) on a net basis, (net of related costs).

 

The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of the Company.

AND THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED) 

 

Product revenues is comprised of medical biologics, internal fixation products, bone substitute materials and other medical supplies. For customers that order products as needed (i.e. for specific cases), the Company invoices the customer on the date the product is utilized. For customers that order larger quantities of the same product (subject to minimums) at a reduced selling price, the Company invoices the customers when the products are shipped. Payment terms are net 30 days after the invoice date.Consulting revenues is recognized on a monthly basis pursuant to an agreement. This revenue is recorded in the period the services have been provided.

 

Products that have been sold are not subject to returns unless the product is deemed defective. Credits or refunds are recognized when they are determinable and estimable. Net revenues have been reduced to account for sales returns, rebates and other incentives.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues consists of cost of goods sold, operating overhead, distributor representative compensation, and freight and shipping costs for items sold to customers.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees

 

The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in product revenues and the related costs in cost of revenues.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income.

 

Prior to the recapitalization discussed in Note 1, the members of the consolidated group included Fuse Medical, LLC, a Delaware-registered limited liability corporation, and Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP, which were Texas-registered limited partnerships; all of which are taxed as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As such, there were no state or corporate tax liabilities due for these entities.

 

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company operates in one reportable segment including medical products and supplies. The Company's chief operating decision maker, its CEO and President, manages the Company's operations as a whole, and no revenue, expense or operating income information is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker on any component level.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the prorata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the non-employee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”), “Presentation of Financial Statements” (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction-specific and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (“ASU 2014-15”), “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.

Legal Matters

 

On January 27, 2014, M. Richard Cutler and Cutler Law Group, P.C. (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 2014-03355, against Fuse, Alan Meeker, Rusty Shelton, Jonathan Brown, Robert H. Donehew and Golf Rounds.com, Inc. (the “Defendants”). On April 21, 2014, the complaint was dismissed for “want of prosecution.” The Plaintiffs had 30 days from April 21, 2014 to file a motion to reinstate the case and no timely action was taken by the Plaintiffs. However, the Plaintiffs did file a motion to reinstate on May 22, 2014 and it was granted. The Defendants argued a Motion to Dismiss before the court on July 25, 2014 and, on July 28, 2014, the court granted the motion and dismissed the Plaintiffs' (i) breach of fiduciary duty claim against all Defendants, (ii) suit on sworn account claim against all Defendants except Fuse, and (iii) quantum meruit claim against all Defendants except Fuse. The Defendants were also awarded attorneys' fees in the amount of $4,343. Discovery in this matter ended on March 25, 2015 and Plaintiffs failed to file any discovery requests during the period or seek an extension of the period. The Defendants believe the lawsuit to be completely without merit and are continuing to vigorously defend against the remaining claims. The Defendants plan on moving for summary judgment in this matter for failure to prosecute.

Richard Cutler is the sole principal of Plaintiff, Cutler Law Group, which provided legal representation to its client, Craig Longhurst (“Cutler’s Client”), that was interested in engaging in a transaction with Fuse and Golf Rounds.com, Inc. (“Cutler’s Failed Transaction”). The Plaintiffs had alleged that Cutler’s Failed Transaction failed to materialize notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Cutler and his law firm to document the transaction. The Plaintiffs further had alleged that the Defendants continued to pursue a similar transaction without Cutler’s Client or the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs had claimed that the Defendants were responsible for damages in the amount of (i) $46,465 plus interest because Plaintiffs were not paid their legal fees by Cutler’s Client nor receive equity in Golf Rounds.com, Inc. that Plaintiffs hoped would be issued from Cutler’s Failed Transaction; (ii) $46,465 plus interest due to Defendants being unjustly enriched from Plaintiffs’ legal services to Cutler’s Client; (iii) $1,186,000 plus interest, being the alleged value of shares that Plaintiffs claimed to be entitled from Cutler’s Failed Transaction, which amount should allegedly be tripled as exemplary damages as a result of intentional fraud and/or negligent representations that some or all of the Defendants allegedly committed and that such conduct allegedly constitutes conspiracy to commit fraud; (iv) $1,186,000, allegedly arising from a breach of a Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure Agreement to which Plaintiffs were not a party; (v) $1,000,000 for breach of fiduciary duty by the Defendants because they would have been directors and officers of the surviving corporation in Cutler’s Failed Transaction had it not failed and Defendants’ moving on to another transaction without Plaintiffs; and (vi) Plaintiffs’ attorneys fees and costs for having brought the action.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Authorized Capital

 

Effective as of May 28, 2014, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Golf Rounds.com, Inc. amended its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock from 12,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.01 per share to 500,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.01 per share and from zero shares of preferred stock to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.01 per share, and to expressly authorize its board of directors to issue shares of the preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series the voting powers, designations, preferences, or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

Effective as of May 28, 2014, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Golf Rounds.com, Inc. amended its certificate of incorporation to effect a 14.62 to 1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) whereby every 14.62 issued and outstanding shares of its common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests. All references to shares of common stock of the Company herein are discussed on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis for all periods presented.

 

Recapitalization

 

On May 28, 2014 (the “recapitalization date”), Fuse Medical, LLC was acquired by Fuse Medical, Inc. (formerly Golf Rounds.com, Inc.), an inactive publicly-held company, in a reverse merger transaction accounted for as a recapitalization of Fuse Medical, LLC (the “Recapitalization” or the “Reverse Merger”). All of the units reflecting membership interests in Fuse Medical, LLC that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were cancelled and converted into 3,600,000 shares of Fuse Medical, Inc.’s common stock (on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis), representing 90% of the Registrant’s issued and outstanding common stock after giving effect to the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration was allocated among the members of Fuse Medical, LLC immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Holders”) in accordance with Fuse Medical’s limited liability company operating agreement. Prior to the Merger, and effective on and as of the business day immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the general partners in Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP agreed to surrender their interests and the individual physicians that owned the remaining limited partnership interests in Fuse Medical V, LP and Fuse Medical VI, LP agreed to exchange their interest to corresponding interests in Fuse Medical, LLC, each becoming one of the Holders.

 

For accounting purposes, Fuse Medical, LLC is the acquirer and Fuse Medical, Inc. is the acquired company because, immediately following the completion of the transaction, Fuse Medical, LLC acquired both voting and management control of the consolidated entity. The Company is deemed to have issued 401,280 common shares to the original stockholders of the publicly-held entity. Accordingly, after completion of the recapitalization, the historical operations of the Company are those of Fuse Medical, LLC and the operations since the recapitalization date are those of Fuse Medical, LLC and Fuse Medical, Inc. The assets and liabilities of both companies are combined at historical cost on the recapitalization date. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in this transaction. As a result of the closing of the Merger, the Company now has 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share authorized. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the publicly-held company have been accounted for as an adjustment to accumulated deficit upon the recapitalization and were as follows (See Notes 3 and 8):

A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance in 2014 due to the uncertainty of realization. Management believes that based upon its projection of future taxable operating income for the foreseeable future, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit associated with deferred tax assets. The net change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 was an increase of $432,730 and $0, respectively.
