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 clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) above.

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, 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: (a) our inability to obtain adequate financing; (b) the significant length of time and resources associated with the development of our products and related insufficient cash flows and resulting illiquidity; (c) our inability to expand our business; (d) significant government regulation of our business and the healthcare industry; (e) lack of product diversification; (f) existing or increased competition; (g) results of arbitration and litigation; (h) stock volatility and illiquidity; and (i) our failure to implement our business plans or strategies. Descriptions 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 appear 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, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

Readers should read this Annual Report in conjunction with (1) the discussion under the caption “Risk Factors,” (2) our financial statements and the related notes therein included in this Annual Report, and (3) other documents which we may file from time to time with the SEC.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Starting in September 2017, under the supervision of our Board and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we began to analyze and assess our internal controls over financial reporting on the basis of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission on Internal Control – Integrated Framework (“COSO Framework”), which is a subset of our disclosure controls and procedures, to provide the evaluation required by Section 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our analysis and assessment of the internal controls over financial reporting has followed the below timeline and milestones;

 

          Phase   

Performed or anticipated to be performed

•   Phase I – Risk Assessment and Scoping

  

Fourth Quarter 2017

•   Phase II – Documentation of Key Controls and Processes

  

Fourth Quarter 2017

•   Phase III – Gap Assessment and Remediation

  

First Quarter 2018

•   Phase IV – Walkthroughs, Testing, and Remediation

  

On-going 2018

•   Phase V – Assessment Complete

  

Fourth Quarter 2018

1 First round of key control walkthroughs and first round of testing completed as of June 30, 2018. Second round of key control testing scheduled for Fourth Quarter 2018.

2 Upon second round of key control testing during the fourth quarter 2018, assessment of internal controls over financial reporting will be complete.

Until our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting is completed during the fourth quarter of 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer cannot yet conclude whether our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. As a result, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2017.

Because our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were unable to complete their full assessment regarding the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal controls over our financial reporting using the criteria set forth by COSO Framework, we are unable to conclude that internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2017. As a result, we must conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of that date.

Our Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer have engaged an independent third-party to assist in establishing a sustainable framework and processes to ensure adequate internal controls over financial reporting. We anticipate that our secondary testing under the COSO Framework will be completed by October 31, 2018.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management has not yet conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – COSO Framework. Our management cannot conclude our internal control over financial reporting is effective because this assessment has not been completed. As a result, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company relocated its finance and accounting operations from an off-site location in Wellington, Florida, to the CPM Medical Consultants, LLC headquarters located in Richardson, Texas. Prior to that time, the Chief Financial Officer was the sole finance and accounting employee of the Company.

Table of Contents

Prior to January 1, 2017, the Company had limited internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer initiated all financial transactions, including banking, and payroll processing without evidence of review, approval or oversite. The Company’s books and records did not have monthly closings, reconciliations, or appropriate analysis.

Effective with the relocation of the Company’s finance and accounting operations, the Company’s books and records became subject to the standard operating procedures and internal controls and procedures over financial reporting, including, but not limited to, segregation of duties, banking dual controls, monthly accounting closes and reconciliations with appropriate review and approvals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The shareholders and the board of directors of Fuse Medical, Inc. and Subsidiary

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fuse Medical, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended 2017 and 2016, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended 2017 and 2016, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits include performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Overview

The Company was initially incorporated in 1968 as Golf Rounds.com, Inc., a Florida corporation. During July 1999, GolfRounds, Inc. was re-domesticated to Delaware through a merger into its wholly-owned subsidiary GolfRounds.com, Inc. Effective May 28, 2014, GolfRounds.com, Inc. amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to Fuse Medical, Inc. (“Fuse”) and merged with and into Fuse Medical, LLC, with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger with Fuse the legal acquirer, and Fuse Medical, LLC deemed the accounting acquirer (“Reverse Merger”). During 2015, certificates of termination were filed for Fuse Medical, LLC and its two subsidiaries.

Change in Control

Between the period July 2016 through October 2016, the Company obtained three loans in the aggregate amount of $150,000 in exchange for convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) bearing 10% interest per annum, with principal due and payable, upon demand of the payee. The Notes were issued as follows: $100,000 to NC 143 Family Holdings, LP, a family limited partnership controlled by Mark W. Brooks (“NC 143”), the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”); and $50,000 to Reeg Medical Industries, Inc., an investment holding company owned and controlled by Christopher C. Reeg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“RMI”, and together with NC 143, the “Investors”). The Investors have the sole discretion and right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share.

On December 19, 2016 (the “Change-in-Control Date”), the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Investors and the Company, pursuant to which NC 143 acquired 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $400,000 and RMI acquired 4 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $320,000 (collectively the “Investor Shares”), effective as of the Change-in-Control Date. Direct offering costs of the Company were $64,609 in connection with the offer and sale of the Investor Shares, and, net proceeds from the offer and sale of the Investor Shares were $655,391.

CPM Acquisition

On December 15, 2017, Fuse entered into an agreement with NC 143 pursuant to which Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM Medical Consultants, LLC (“CPM”) (the “CPM Acquisition Agreement” and such transaction, the “CPM Acquisition”).

On December 29, 2017, Fuse completed the previously-announced the CPM Acquisition, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement by Fuse and NC 143, dated December 15, 2017, whereby the Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM. Fuse issued 50 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in exchange for 100% of the outstanding membership interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of common stock. The effective date of the CPM acquisition was December 31, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). The CPM Acquisition provides for contingent payments, (Earn-Out”) to NC 143 subject to certain sales and profitability targets being met by the Company for years after 2017.

Fuse was the legal acquirer and, for accounting purposes, CPM was deemed to have acquired our Company in the CPM Acquisition. CPM is the successor entity and becomes the reporting entity which combines Fuse at the Change-in-Control Date, with the assets and liabilities of both companies combined at historical cost. (see note 3)

Nature of Business

Fuse is a national distributor of medical devices, who provides a broad portfolio of internal and external fixation products; upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction; soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures; spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease, and deformity indications (collectively, “Orthopedic Implants”) and a wide array of osteo-biologics and regenerative tissue which include human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (“Biologics”). All of our medical devices are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for sale in the United States, and all of our Biologics suppliers are licensed tissue banks accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks (“AATB”).

The Company’s board portfolio of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics provide high-quality products to assist surgeons with positive patient outcomes and cost-effective solutions for its customers, which include hospitals, medical facilities, and sub-distributors. Fuse operates under exclusive and non-exclusive agreements with certain vendors and supply partners in the geographic territories the Company serves.

 

F-7


Table of Contents

Fuse continuously reviews and expands its product lines to ensure that they offer the most comprehensive, high-quality and cost-effective selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics so that the Company can be more relevant to its customer needs while continuing to grow its existing customer base.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United State, (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company’s 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 allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual pricing, valuation of inventories, accrued commissions, the fair value calculation of stock based compensation, and fair value of Earn-Out liability.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2017, 700,000 outstanding common stock equivalents have been included with diluted net earnings per share.

As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, common stock equivalents included options to purchase 1,302,052 and 1,304,788 common shares, respectively.

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.

In connection with the CPM Acquisition, the Company recorded a $19,244,543 liability related to the Earn-Out portion of the purchase consideration. See Note 3, Acquisition, for further discussion of the Earn-Out Liability. The Company has classified the Earn-Out Liability as a Level 3 liability and the fair value of the Earn-Out Liability will be evaluated each reporting period and changes in its fair value will be included in the Company’s results of operations. The Earn-Out payments are based on the financial performance of the Company between the period of January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2034. The base amount of the Earn-Out is $16,000,000 with an additional bonus payment of $10,000,000. The payments of the base and bonus Earn-Out amounts are subject to the Company meeting certain earnings thresholds as detailed in the purchase agreement. The Earn-Out payments during the Earn-Out period specified above, ranges from $0 to $26,000,000.

 

F-8


Table of Contents

The fair value of the Earn-Out Liability was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, which was then applied to estimated Earn-Out payments with a discount rate of 4%. To determine the fair value of the Earn-Out liability, the Company’s management evaluates assumptions that require significant judgement. Significant assumptions used for estimating the Earn-Out liability included gross margins of approximately 48%, net income margins averaging 9% per year, revenue growth of approximately 5% over a forecast horizon period of 11 years.

The Earn-Out liability, which represented contingent consideration associated with the CPM Acquisition is recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved and the changes in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations at each reporting period since the arrangement is not subject to the accounting for hedging instruments.

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. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company’s cash is concentrated in large financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses from inception through December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, there were deposits of $537,388 and $421,636, respectively, greater than federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and an allowance for contractual pricing. 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 re-evaluated 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.

The Company’s management estimates its allowance for contractual pricing, by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customer is offered contractual pricing and discount allowances. In these arrangements, the Company’s management uses assumptions and judgement, based on the best available facts and circumstances to record a specific allowance for the amounts due from those customers. The allowance is offset by a corresponding reduction to revenue. These specific allowances are re-evaluated 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.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the net realizable value (first-in, first-out). Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include Orthopedic Implants and Biologics. 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. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful life or the lease term. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

   Amortization

Computer equipment

     3 years  

Furniture and fixtures

Office equipment

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.

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: (i) significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, (ii) significant changes in the use of the assets, (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends, (iv) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time, and (v) 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 the Company’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. The test for impairment requires us to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on projected future cash flows. The Company’s management estimates associated with the goodwill impairment test are considered critical due to the amount of goodwill recorded on our consolidated balance sheets and the judgment required in determining fair value, including projected future cash flows. No goodwill impairment has been recognized during 2017 or 2016.

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 Company reports funds collected from customers as deferred revenues until all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Revenues are sales of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics to support orthopedic surgeries and wound care. For customers that purchase products as needed, the Company invoices the customers on the date the product is utilized. For customers that have consigned product, the Company invoices the customers as each unit of the product is utilized. Payment terms are due upon receipt of invoice.

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, discounts and other incentives.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of cost of goods sold, freight and shipping costs for items sold to customers, cost of storage, and related supply chain costs.

Shipping and Handling Fees

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

Income Taxes

As a result of the CPM Acquisition, Fuse became the sole managing member of CPM and as a result, began consolidating the financial results of CPM. CPM is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by CPM is passed through to an included in the taxable income or loss of its members.

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.

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, 2017, 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, is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer manages the Company’s operations as a whole, and does not evaluate revenue, expense or operating income information 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 May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current 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 interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company’s management is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 — “Inventory (Topic 330)”, which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 as of January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company’s management is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Table of Contents

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash payments.” The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for the public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update may be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-18 — “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (A Consensus of the FASB EITF)”. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. These amounts should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This amendment does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company’s management is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-18 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”) did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Acquisition

Between the period July 2016 through October 2016, the Company obtained three loans in the aggregate amount of $150,000 in exchange for the Notes bearing 10% interest per annum, with principal due and payable, upon demand of the payee. The Notes were issued as follows: $100,000 to NC 143, and $50,000 to RMI. The Investors have the sole discretion and right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share. (see note 6).

On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Investors and the Company, pursuant to which NC 143 acquired 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $400,000 and RMI acquired 4 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $320,000 effective as of the Change-in-Control Date. Direct offering costs of the Company were $64,609 in connection with the offer and sale of the Investor Shares, and, net proceeds from the offer and sale of the Investor Shares were $655,391.

The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement resulted in a change-in-control of the Company whereby the Investors beneficially acquired approximately 61.4% of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Change-in-Control Date. Mark W. Brooks became our Chairman of the Board and Christopher C. Reeg became our Chief Executive Officer, as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on December 23, 2016, which is herein incorporated by reference. Fuse recorded a goodwill asset of $820,000 to reflect the excess of the carrying value of the Company’s net assets over their fair value as implied by the purchase price paid by the Investors on the Change-in-Control Date.

On December 15, 2017, Fuse entered into the CPM Acquisition Agreement with NC 143 pursuant to which Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM.

On December 29, 2017, Fuse completed the previously-announced CPM Acquisition, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement by Fuse and NC 143, dated December 15, 2017, whereby Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM. Fuse issued 50 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in exchange for 100% of the outstanding membership interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of common stock. The effective date of the CPM Acquisition was December 31, 2017. Additional one-time costs incurred with the acquisition totaled approximately $200,000 and are included in the selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

The CPM Acquisition Agreement provides for Earn-Out payments to NC 143 subject to certain sales and profitability targets being met by the Company for years after 2017. The fair value of the Earn-Out was recorded at $19,244,543 as of the Effective Date. The Company recorded the Earn-Out at its fair value of the Effective Date. The CPM Acquisition Agreement provides for a working capital post-closing adjustment (“Post-Closing Adjustment”) for certain changes in CPMs current assets and current liabilities pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Post-Closing Adjustment is approximately $397,463 and will be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock within 120 days the Effective Date.

 

F-14


Table of Contents

On the Effective Date of the closing of the CPM acquisition, NC 143 and RMI beneficially acquired approximately 90.4% of the Company’s common stock outstanding.

Fuse is the legal acquirer and, for accounting purposes, CPM was deemed to have acquired the Company in the CPM Acquisition. CPM is the successor entity and becomes the reporting entity which combines Fuse at the Change-in-Control Date, with the assets and liabilities of both companies combined at historical cost. (see note 1).

Note 5. Revolving Line of Credit

On December 29, 2017, Fuse became party to a revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) with ZB, N.A. (d/b/a Amegy Bank), to facilitate the December 31, 2017 CPM Acquisition. The RLOC establishes an asset based senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $5,000,000. The RLOC bears interest at a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 3.00% (effective rate of 4.56% at December 31, 2017). The RLOC contains customary representation, warranties, covenants, events of default, and is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Chairman of the Board personally guarantees fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding loan amount.

The outstanding balance of the RLOC was $3,415,351 and $3,305,347 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest expense incurred was $134,668 and $133,334 for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 6. Notes Payable – Related Parties

During July 2016 through October 2016, the Company obtained three short-term loans in the aggregate amount of $150,000 in exchange for promissory notes bearing 10% interest per annum, which principal shall be due and payable, upon demand of the payee. Notwithstanding, at the holder’s sole discretion, the holder has the right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share. On each respective date of issuance, the conversion price of each of the promissory notes was less than the market price of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in a beneficial conversion feature in the aggregate amount of $117,500, which was treated as a discount to each of the promissory notes and amortized over the term of each respective promissory note. Subsequent to the issuance of the notes, affiliates of the noteholders entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company (See Notes 1 and 11).

Notes payable – related parties consisted of the following:

 

     December 31, 2017      December 31, 2016  

Notes Payable originating July 15, 2016; no monthly payments required; bearing interest at 10%; due on December 31, 2016, convertible on demand

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

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, 201 4-03355, 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.”

On September 18, 2015, Plaintiffs refiled a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 2015-55652 and added PH Squared, LLC as an additional Plaintiff. Thereafter, the term “Plaintiffs” collectively refers to M. Richard Cutler, Cutler Law Group, P.C. and PH Squared, LLC. The new complaint asserts essentially the same claims as the original nonsuited complaint: (i) suit on sworn account against Fuse; (ii) fraud against all Defendants; and (iii) breach of contract against all Defendants for allegedly violating a non-circumvention/non-disclosure agreement. Richard Cutler is the sole principal of Cutler Law Group, P.C., which provided legal representation to its clients, Craig Longhurst and PH Squared, LLC d/b/a PharmHouse Pharmacy (“Cutler’s Client”), during a failed merger attempt between Fuse and Golf Rounds.com, Inc. (the “Failed Transaction”). The Plaintiffs have alleged that the Failed Transaction failed to materialize notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Cutler, his law firm and PH Squared, LLC. The Plaintiffs have further alleged that the Defendants continued to pursue a similar transaction without Cutler’s Client or the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs claim that the Defendants are responsible for damages in the amount of $46,465 plus interest for the breach of contract claim because Plaintiffs were not paid their legal fees by Cutler’s Client and Plaintiffs did not receive equity in the merged company that would have resulted from the Failed Transaction. Plaintiffs are also asking for undisclosed damages related to the fraud and breach of contract claims, and are asking for exemplary damages as a result of allegedly intentional fraud that some or all of the Defendants allegedly committed. Plaintiffs also seek their attorneys’ fees and costs for having brought the action. On November 18, 2015, Fuse filed a counterclaim against PH Squared, LLC for breach of contract and further asserted a counterclaim and third-party claim against PH Squared, LLC’s principle, Craig Longhurst, for fraud in the inducement. Fuse also seeks a declaratory judgment on the intended third-party beneficiary status of Plaintiffs Cutler and Cutler Law Group related to a non-circumvention/non-disclosure agreement. The trial date for the above matter was scheduled for May 1, 2017, but it was moved to July 24, 2017 in order to allow for some additional discovery.

During April 2017, one of the named individuals in the complaint filed for bankruptcy protection. There is currently no trial date set.

The Company’s management continues to believe that the lawsuit is completely without merit and will vigorously contest it and protect the Company’s interests.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space under a noncancelable operating lease agreement, from a real estate investments company that is owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman of the Board and President. This lease terminated December 31, 2017 with month-to-month renewals. The lease requires monthly payments of $14,000. Annual rent expense was approximately $142,000 and $120,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and are included in selling, general, administrative and other expenses.

The Company leases office equipment under two noncancelable operating lease agreements which expire March 2019 and February 2021. In aggregate, these office equipment leases require monthly payments of approximately $779. Rent expense for the equipment leases totaled approximately $11,000 and $8,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are included in selling, general, administrative and other expenses.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized Capital

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.01 per share, and its Board is authorized to issue shares of the common 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.

The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.01 per share, and its Board is authorized 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.

Common Stock

On December 29, 2017, Fuse completed the previously-announced acquisition of CPM, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement by Fuse and NC 143, dated December 15, 2017, whereby the Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM. Fuse issued 50,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in exchange for 100% of the outstanding equity interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of common stock, as reflected in the fairness opinion provided by ValueScope. The Effective Date of the CPM acquisition was December 31, 2017.

On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Investors and the Company, pursuant to which NC 143 acquired 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $400,000 and RMI acquired 4 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $320,000, effective as of the Change-in-Control Date. Direct offering costs of the Company were $64,609 in connection with the offer and sale of the Investor Shares, and, net proceeds from the sale of the Investor Shares were $655,391. (See Note 6)

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan which provides for the granting of equity awards, including qualified incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation awards and restricted stock awards to employees, directors, consultants and advisors; the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board on April 5, 2017. The awards are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in individual agreements.

On September 21, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan from 1,500,000 shares of common stock to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.

On October 4, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan from 2,500,000 shares of common stock to 4,500,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Options

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are the Company’s estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The Company did not grant stock options in 2017.

 

F-20


Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2016:

The Company’s management utilized the simplified method to estimate the expected life for stock options granted to employees, as the Company does not have sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock subsequent to the closing of the Reverse Merger. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected life of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company’s management believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.

On September 21, 2017, the Company’s Board granted an aggregate of 2,000,000 RSA’s pursuant to the 2017 Plan, to the Company’s independent directors as compensation. The RSA’s have a fair market value of $0.78 on the date of grant and vest fully upon the earlier of a change in control of the Company or the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not amortized any amounts relating to the vesting of these shares due to the uncertainty of meeting these vesting milestones.

On December 14, 2017, the Board awarded a total of 942,500 shares of common stock of the Company, in the form of RSAs issued in accordance with the 2017 Plan of the Company, to the members of the Board of the Company as annual compensation for services rendered to the Company as Board members. Each member of the Board was granted an RSA constituting 188,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. Based in part on the analysis of the fairness opinion provided by a third-party valuation specialist, the Board determined that the common stock within each RSA had a fair market value of $0.20 on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had amortized $20,945 relating to the vesting of these shares which is included in selling, general, administrative and other expenses, and $167,555 which will be recognized as an expense in future periods as the shares vest.

The Board voted to revise the $0.78 fair market value for each share issued pursuant to each RSA granted on September 21, 2017, to $0.20. The Board voted to amend the indicated fair market value in the September grants to $0.20 based in part on the analysis within the fairness opinion provided by the third-party valuation specialist.

Fuse is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a corporation, Fuse is subject to U.S. federal and applicable state income taxes.

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 has recorded a valuation allowance in 2016 due to the uncertainty of realization. As a result of the organizational transactions of Fuse and CPM in 2017, it is more likely than not that the tax deferred tax assets benefits would be realized.

At December 31, 2017, Fuse had $822,399 of net operating loss carryforwards which will expire from 2018 to 2037. These carry forward benefits may be subject to annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation, if imposed, may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2017, tax years 2012 through 2015 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

Change in Control

Between the period July 2016 through October 2016, we obtained three loans in the aggregate amount of $150,0in exchange for convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) bearing 10% interest per annum, with principal due and payable, upon demand of the payee. The Notes were issued as follows: $100,000 to NC 143 Family Holdings, LP, a family limited partnership controlled by Mark W. Brooks (“NC 143”), our Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”); and $50,000 to Reeg Medical Industries, Inc., an investment holding company owned and controlled by Christopher C. Reeg, our Chief Executive Officer (“RMI”, and together with NC 143, the “Investors”). The Investors have the sole discretion and right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance of the Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share.

Since December of 2016, the Company has been controlled by the Investors, who are its two primary stockholders. On the Change- in-Control Date the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Investors and the Company, pursuant to which the Investors received the Investor Shares, effective as of the Change-in-Control Date. For more details please see “Item 1. Business” of this 2017 Annual Report

The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement resulted in a change-in-control of the Company whereby the Investors beneficially acquired approximately 61.4% of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Change-in-Control Date. Mark W. Brooks became the Chairman of the Board and Christopher C. Reeg became our Chief Executive officer, as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 23, 2016, which is herein incorporated by reference.

CPM Acquisition

On December 15, 2017, Fuse entered into an agreement with NC 143 pursuant to which Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM Medical Consultants, LLC (“CPM”) (the “CPM Acquisition Agreement” and such transaction, the “CPM Acquisition”).

On December 29, 2017, Fuse completed the previously-announced acquisition of CPM Acquisition, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement by Fuse and NC 143, dated December 15, 2017, whereby Fuse would purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of CPM. Fuse issued 50 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in exchange for 100% of the outstanding membership interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of common stock. The effective date of the CPM Acquisition was December 31, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). The CPM Acquisition provides for contingent payments to NC 143 subject to certain sales and profitability targets being met by the Company for years after 2017.

 

F-28


Table of Contents

For accounting purposes, CPM was deemed to have acquired Fuse in the CPM Acquisition because NC 143 and RMI had combined majority control of our issued and outstanding common stock and they jointly have the power to appoint a majority of our members of the Board. Because Fuse is the legal acquirer, the CPM Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of an entity under common control. CPM is the successor entity and becomes the reporting entity which combines Fuse at the Change-in-Control Date, with the assets and liabilities of both companies combined at historical cost (collectively, Fuse and CPM consolidated or the “Company”). (see note 3)

Note 12. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through April 5, 2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

On January 30, 2018, the Company received notice from UOC USA, Inc. (“UOC”) that UOC has elected to terminate the distribution agreement dated January 1, 2011, as amended (the “UOC Agreement”) between the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CPM, and UOC. While the UOC Agreement terminated on February 28, 2018, in accordance with its terms and conditions, the UOC Agreement also authorized the continued provision of UOC products at UOC-contracted facilities until March 15, 2018. Because we hold title to our UOC inventory, we may continue selling UOC products until we deplete our UOC inventory.

Pursuant to the UOC Agreement, in consideration for mutual promises and covenants, the Company was appointed as a non-exclusive authorized distributor of UOC orthopedic implants and instruments for an initial fixed term of two years with auto-renewals thereafter. Either the Company or UOC could terminate the UOC Agreement at any time and for any reason upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party.

At UOC’s sole discretion, the termination notice provides for the repurchase of the Company’s unsold UOC orthopedic implants by UOC on or before April 30, 2018. The Company’s revenue derived from the sale and distribution of UOC products was approximately $4.3 million or 16% and $4.9 million or 19%, for the year-ended December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company’s Management concluded there are no other material events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure.
