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.
