The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations contains information that management believes is relevant to an
assessment and understanding of our results of operations. You should read this
discussion in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes included
elsewhere in this report and with Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 13, 2015 and Form
10-K/A filed with the SEC on January 16, 2015. Certain statements set forth
below constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements". References to "Fuse" the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to
Fuse Science, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; References to "Spiral"
refer to our 51% owned subsidiary, Spiral Energy Tech, Inc.
General
Fuse Science, Inc. ("Fuse", "our", "us", "we" or the "Company") was incorporated
in Nevada on September 21, 1988. Prior to 2002, the Company's activities
included developing and marketing data communications and networking
infrastructure solutions for business, government and education. From 2007 to
2009, the Company was a "business development company" under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. From April 2011 through October 1, 2014, the Company's
business involved developing and marketing nutraceutical products.
On October 1, 2014, Fuse entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
(the "Merger Agreement") with Spiral, a Nevada corporation, and Spiral
Acquisition Sub, Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary
("Acquisition Sub"). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated under the
Merger Agreement (the "Merger") which occurred concurrently with entering into
the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Spiral, and Spiral,
as the surviving entity, became a 51% majority-owned subsidiary of Fuse.
At the closing of the Merger, 51% of the outstanding shares of Spiral (the
"Spiral Shares") were acquired by the Company for an aggregate of 15 million
newly issued shares of Common Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, of Fuse (the
"Fuse Common Stock") or, at the election of any holder of the Spiral Shares,
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
"Series C Preferred Stock") if as a result of receiving Fuse Common Stock in
connection with the Merger, such holder would hold in excess of 5% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Fuse,. At the closing of the Merger, Fuse issued
3,269,808 shares of Fuse Common stock and 3,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock to the former Spiral shareholders. The Series C Preferred Stock is
convertible into 11,730,192 common shares, subject to adjustment.
Since October 1, 2014, Fuse, through its 51% owned subsidiary, Spiral has
focused on developing and commercializing its proprietary SkyPorts drone support
and Energy Demand Network ("EDEN") technology. This technology seeks to permit a
drone to operate predictably many miles outside of a "home range" limitation,
defined by the drone's finite battery power, by allowing for a flight path of
numerous stops (or waypoints) at recharging stations along the way, thus
extending the limit of the drone's useful range. Currently, we do not plan to
build or design any drones or autonomous vehicles; rather we intend to employ
our technology in non-military drones manufactured by third party commercial
manufacturers.
14
We have filed patents for technology related to SkyPorts and EDEN technology as
follows:
· US Provisional patent application No. 62/075,317; Drone Recharging Station and
Method of Networking
· US Provisional patent application No. 62/145,216; Controlling Autonomous UAV
Delivery Based Fleet Services
Also, through Spiral, we are engaged in developing and commercializing our
XTRAX® remote monitoring system, designed to measure the production of solar and
other renewable energy systems and to enable transmission of the data via the
cellular and radio frequency network (and potentially via microwave transmission
network or satellite). On April 25, 2013, we purchased the patents and
trademarks relating to the XTRAX® remote monitoring system from Carbon 612
Corporation and one of its creditors. On May 13, 2013, we entered into an
agreement with a patent assertion entity, pursuant to which we sold Endeavor the
XTRAX® patents and obtained a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable,
non-exclusive and worldwide license to develop, distribute and sell the products
and services covered by the patents and to a portion of the revenues generated
by patent enforcement activities. Our principal revenue during the period
covered by this report has been amounts paid related to settlement of patent
enforcement actions.
Results of Operations
Not applicable
The Company had no operations during the three month period ended December 31,
2015
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Not applicable
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2015, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Potential Litigation Liabilities
Due to our present lack of unissued authorized capital, we are currently in
default of certain provisions under our agreements with the holders of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In May 2015, we held a special shareholder
meeting seeking approval of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to
increase our authorized capital. However, the amendment was not approved by our
shareholders. Although we used our best efforts to increase our authorized
capital, we remain in default so long as we continue to have insufficient
capital to satisfy our obligations to the holders of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. While we have no present knowledge of pending or threatened
litigation related to this matter, we cannot guarantee future lawsuits will not
arise that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU'") No. 201 5-03, Interest - Imputation of
Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.
The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a
recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct
deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt
discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are
not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods with in those
fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments are to be
applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual
period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying
the new guidance. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a
material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
15
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02. Consolidation (Topic 810):
Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which is intended to improve targeted
areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships,
limited liability corporations and securitization structures (collateralized
debt obligations, col lateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security
transactions). In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from
four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and improves current U.S. GAA P by placing more emphasis on risk of
loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency
of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity ("VI E"), and changing
consolidation conclusions for companies in several industries that typically
make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. The ASU will be effective for fiscal
years, and interim period s with in those fiscal year, beginning after December
15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement -
Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement
Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items." This ASU
eliminates from U.S. GAA P the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments
prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have a material
effect on our financial posit ion, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, "Business Combinations (Topic
805): Pushdown Accounting." This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option
to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon
occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired
entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in
the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. If pushdown
accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is
irrevocable. ASU 2014- 17 was effective on November 18, 20 14. The adoption of
ASU 2014-17 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014- 16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815)." ASU 2014- 16 addresses whether the host contract in a hybrid financial
instrument issued in the form of a share should be accounted for as debt or
equity. ASU 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We have no outstanding,
nor are we investors in, hybrid financial instruments. Accordingly, we do not
expect the adopt ion of ASU 2014-16 to have any effect on our financial position
, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 20 14-15, "Presentation of Financial
Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)". ASU 2014-15 provides guidance
related to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial
doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide
related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending
after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early
application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 20 14-15 to have
a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock
Compensation (Topic 7 18): Accounting for Share- Based Payments When the Terms
of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the
Requisite Service Period ." This ASU requires that a performance target that
affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be
treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014- 12 is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 20
15. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014- 12 to have a material effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that
either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or
enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those
contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or
lease contracts). ASU 2014- 09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods with in those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are
still evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. On April 1, 2015,
the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new revenue
recognition standard by one year.
16
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial
Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) and
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of
an Entity." ASU 2014-08 amends the definition for what types of asset disposals
are to be considered discontinued operations, as well as amending the required
disclosures for discontinued operations and assets held for sale. ASU 2014-08 is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 20 14. The adoption of ASU 20 14-08 did not
have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recent accounting pronouncement s issued by the FASB and the SEC did not or are
not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or
future condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the
financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical
if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the
estimate was made, and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could
have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or
financial condition.
Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and
identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When
required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on
the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of
future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent
appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not
recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized
for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When
fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the
expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
associated with the recovery of the assets.
Application of Significant Accounting Policies
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take
advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In
other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain
accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private
companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended
transition period. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to
those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
