SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING RELIANCE ON RELIEF ORDER.
On May 12, 2020 we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) in compliance with and in reliance upon the SEC Order issued pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules thereunder (SEC Release No. 34-88465 on March 25, 2020) (the “Relief Order”). By way of filing the Form 8-K, we, among other things, extended the time of filing of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (“Form 10-Q”), until no later than June 29, 2020 in reliance on the Relief Order. The Form 8-K disclosed the reasons that the Form 10-Q could not be timely filed.
Fuse Group Holding Inc. (the “Company”) is relying on the SEC Order to delay the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state of California, where the Company is headquartered, has been affected by COVID-19. The Governor of California has issued a stay-at-home order, which took effect on March 19, 2020. Substantially all of the Company’s workforce is currently working from home either all or substantially all of the time, including the Company’s limited number of general administrative and accounting personnel. These safety measures have restricted access to the Company’s facilities and books and records, and have disrupted routine interactions among the Company’s staff, advisors and third parties involved in the preparation of the Form 10-Q. Due to these disruptions, the Company is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report, originally due on May 15, 2020. The Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on or before June 29, 2020, which is 45 days after the original filing deadline of the Form 10-Q.

Considering recent development of laws and regulations on token issuance and trading, management discussed its function and compliance issues with the designer of the platform and concluded that the project had more issues and costs for compliance than originally expected. On May 26, 2017,December 23, 2019, the Board decided to terminate the IMETAL project.
On April 29, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (“Amendment”) to change its name from Fuse Enterprises Inc. to Fuse Group Holding Inc. Also on April 29, 2019, stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock approved the Amendment. The Amendment was filed a Certificatewith the Secretary of Change withState for the State of Nevada on April 30, 2019, and became effective May 13, 2019.

In December 2019, a novel strain of common stock from 75,000,000coronavirus, causing a disease referred to 375,000,000as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and (ii)the U.S. government imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States, China and certain other countries. The state of California, where the Company is headquartered, has been affected by COVID-19. The Governor of California has issued a stay-at-home order, which took effect a corresponding 5-for-1 forward stock spliton March 19, 2020.

Quarantines, travel restrictions, shelter-in-place and other restrictions related to COVID-19 have impacted the Company’s abilities to visit mines in Mexico and in Asian counties as well as to meet with potential clients and mine owners for the periods presented.Company’s consulting business and for the Company’s own investment in mine projects. The Company’s clients that are negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 may cancel or suspend their mine acquisition projects, which in turn will reduce their demands for the Company’s services and materially adversely impact the Company’s revenue.
The global economy has also been materially negatively affected by COVID-19 and there is continued severe uncertainty about the duration and intensity of its impacts. The U.S. and global growth forecast is extremely uncertain, which could seriously affect people’s investment desires in mines in Mexico, Asia and internationally. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively affect the Company’s liquidity.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s CFSaccompanying consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) were prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.US GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Basis of Consolidation
The CFS include the financial statementsaccounts of the CompanyFuse Group and its subsidiaries.subsidiaries, Processing, Trading and Technology. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
For purposes of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Althoughstatement of cash flows, the Company has recognized nominal amounts of revenue, it is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing its business. All losses accumulated since its inception on December 24, 2013 were considered part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
(i) | Assumption as a going concern : Management assumes |
(ii) | Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact thatbecause there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASCASC”) for disclosures about fair value (“FV”) of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the FV of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring FV in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about FV measurements.
Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a FV hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure FV into three broad levels. The FV hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of FV hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their FVs are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The FV hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the FV measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their FV because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The Company had no outstanding accounts receivable or bad debt allowances at DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 or September 30, 2017.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; while additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets and estimated lives as follows:
Computer and office equipment | 5 years |
Office furniture | 7 years |
Leasehold decoration and renovation | 10 years |
Production machinery | 10 years |
Autos | 5 years |
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB ASC for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include: a.(a) affiliates of the Company; b.(b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the FV option under the Fair ValueFV Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c.(c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d.(d) principal owners of the Company; e.(e) management of the Company; f.(f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g.(g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements.
The disclosures shall include: a.(a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b.(b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c.(c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d.(d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopicASC 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accountingaccount for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has beenwas incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective and transition dates: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The new revenue standards became effective for the Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1October 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the FASB ASCnew revenue standards as of October 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the Company did not have any revenue prior to October 1, 2018. As the Company did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption.
Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for revenue recognition.those goods. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all ofrevenues following the following criteria are met:five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the product has been shipped orperformance obligations in the services have been rendered tocontract; (iii) determine the customer, (iii)transaction price; (iv) allocate the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Tax Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have beenwas included in the financial statements or tax returns.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows paragraph 740-10-25 of the FASB ASC. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 740-10-25 at DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 or September 30, 2017.2019. The tax years 2014-20162016 - 2018 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).
The Company follows paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB ASC for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”Method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB ASC to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB ASC.
Software Development Costs
The Company incurs costs to develop software programs to be used primarily to meet its internal needs and to market to others. In February 2016,accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)Company capitalizes development costs for these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, the software will be used to perform the function intended, and the value will be recoverable. In accordance with ASC 985-20-25, costs incurred before product feasibility is established and all design and coding is completed are expensed. Reengineering costs and minor modifications and enhancements that do not significantly improve the overall functionality of the software are expensed as incurred. After considering recent developments of laws and regulations on token issuance and trading that would apply to the platform that the Company has been designing, management discussed its function and compliance issues with the designer of the software platform and concluded that the project had more issues and costs for compliance than originally expected. On December 23, 2019, the Board decided to terminate the project.
Leases
On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which superseded the lease recognition requirements in ASCaccounting guidance under Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02and generally requires an entitylessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. For information regarding the impact of Topic 842 adoption, see Significant Accounting Policies - Leases and Note 9 – Commitments.
The Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after October 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with its historical accounting under Topic 840.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed it to carry forward its historical lease classification, its assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and its initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to October 1, 2019. The Company also elected to combine its lease and non-lease components and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Upon adoption, the Company recognized total ROU assets of $54,775, with corresponding lease liabilities of $54,775 on its consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets include adjustments for prepayments and accrued lease payments. The adoption did not impact our beginning retained earnings, or prior year consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows. At March 31, 2020, the ROU was $42,067.
Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities arising fromare recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The ROU asset also includes any lease for both financingpayments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options.
Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating leases, along with additional qualitativelease liabilities (current and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingnon-current), on the effect this standard will have on its CFS.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value,FV, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its CFS.
In June 2018, the FASB including its Emerging Issues Task Force,issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the American Institutescope of Certified Public Accountants,ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 718 to non-employee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. The amendments specify that ASC 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The new guidance is effective for SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact onfilers for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the Company’s present or future CFS.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The accompanying CFS were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying CFS, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,854,206$5.95 million at DecemberMarch 31, 2017, working capital deficit of $1,774,0312020, and net loss of $239,389$35,844 and $111,916 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, net loss of $6,433 and $49,586 for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020 and 2019, respectively, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private or public offering, or by obtaining loans from banks or others. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds on reasonable terms and conditions, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.
The financial statementsCFS do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The recently issued Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act or the Act), provides four relief provisions for corporate taxpayers as follows:
1. | Five-year net operating loss (NOL) carryback provision: the Act allows for the carryback of losses arising in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021, to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of the loss. |
2. | Fiscal year NOL carryback fix from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017: the Act corrects the language to provide fiscal year taxpayers who had NOLs arising in years that began prior to December 31, 2017 and ended after December 31, 2017 with the ability to carry back those NOLs. |
3. | Deferral of 80% income limitation on post-2017 NOLs to 2021: the Act suspends this 80% limitation for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021, and instead allows the full offset of taxable income. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, the Act reinstates the 80% limitation. |
4. | Immediate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) tax credit refunds: the Act accelerates availability of AMT credits. The full remaining refundable AMT credit amount will be available for a corporation’s first taxable year beginning in 2019. Alternatively, a corporation may elect to use 100% of its AMT credits for its first taxable year beginning in 2018. |

Note 8 – Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Major Customers
Fuse Group and Processing provide consulting services to mining industry clients to find mine acquisition targets within the parameters set by the clients, in circumstances in which the mine owner is considering selling its mining rights. The services of Fuse Group and Processing include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as ownership of the mine and whether the mine meets all operation requirements and/or is currently in operation.

Overview
Fuse EnterprisesGroup Holding Inc. (the “Company” or “Enterprises”“Fuse Group” or “We”“we”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 24, 2013. Enterprises isFuse Group currently a full service online marketing agency, but is exploringexplores opportunities in the mining industry.mining. On December 6, 2016, the Company incorporated Fuse Processing, Inc. (“Processing”) in the State of California. Processing seeks business opportunities in the mining industry and is currently investigating potential mining targets in Asia and North America. EnterprisesFuse Group is the sole shareholder of Processing. On November 28, 2016, 5,500,000 shares of the common stock of Enterprises, or 60.91% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, were sold by Pavel Mikhalkov and Aleksandr Kriukov in a series of private transactions to a new shareholder for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000 (collectively, the “Stock Sales”). In connection with the Stock Sales, Messrs. Mikhalkov and Kriukov released the Company from certain liabilities and obligations arising out of their service as directors and officers of the Company. In March 2017, Processing acquired 100% ownership of Fuse Trading Limited (“Trading”) for HKD1 (US$($0.13). Trading had no operations prior to the acquisition by Processing, and Trading expects to be engaged in mining-related businesses. On May 3, 2018, the Company incorporated Fuse Technology Inc. (“Technology”) in the State of Nevada. Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Technology. Technology was mainly engaged in IMETAL system development. The Company originally planned to operate IMETAL as a platform to facilitate investment and trade in raw metals, find specialized minerals, exploit these opportunities and issue tokens to be used on the platform, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Due to the recent development of laws and regulations on token issuance and trading, management discussed its function and compliance issues with the designer of the platform and concluded that the project had more issues and costs for compliance than originally expected, on December 23, 2019, the Board decided to terminate the IMETAL project.
Fuse Group and Processing provide consulting services to mining industry clients to find acquisition targets within the parameters set by the clients, when the mine owner is considering selling its mining rights. The services of Fuse Group and Processing include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as ownership of the mine and whether the mine meets all operation requirements and/or is currently in operation.
On January 4, 2017, Processing entered into a Consulting and Strategist Agreement with a consulting company for a six-month term. On July 3, 2017, Processing and the consulting company extended the Consulting and Strategist Agreement until January 3, 2018 at no additional cost, and the Agreement was subsequently extended to July 3, 2018. The consultant provides Processing with market research, exploration and advise on business development opportunities in certain countries, and other general business advisory services. Processing paid a deposit of $1,325,000 for the consulting fee, of which, $325,000 was expensed as a consulting fee based on the agreement, and the remaining $1,000,000 of which would have been refunded to the Company if the Company had not made an investment and/or entered into a business relationship in Mexico. The consulting company found acquisition targets for the Company, and on June 22, 2018, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with a seller to purchase five mines located in different areas of Mexico for $1,000,000. Upon the execution of the MOU, the Company acquired the exclusive right to purchase the mines from the seller until September 30, 2018. The parties entered into an oral agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay the $1,000,000 purchase price upon receiving approvals from the Mexican government allowing for the transfer of the mining concession. The transfer request was submitted to, and is being processed by, the Mexican government, but that processing was delayed due to elections and new administration in Mexico and the COVID-19 pandemic, such that the Company was not able to provide an estimated time for the approval at this report date.
On May 26, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the State of Nevada to (i) increase its authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 and (ii) effect a corresponding 5-for-1 forward stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Split”).
On April 29, 2019, the Board of Directors (“BOD”) of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name from Fuse Enterprises Inc. to Fuse Group Holding Inc. Also on April 29, 2019, stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock approved the Amendment. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada on April 30, 2019, and became effective on May 13, 2019. On May 29, 2019, the Company changed its trading symbol on OTC Markets from FNST to FUST.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the U.S. government imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States, China, and certain other countries. The state of California, where the Company is headquartered, has been affected by COVID-19. The Governor of California has issued a stay-at-home order, which took effect on March 19, 2020.
Our business and services and results of operations have been adversely affected and could continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Substantially all of our workforce is now working from home either all or substantially all of the time. The effects of the stay-at-home order and our work-from-home policies have negatively impacted our business development, and disrupted or delayed our current mine projects and services to our clients, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. These and similar, and perhaps more severe, disruptions in our operations could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
Quarantines, travel restrictions, shelter-in-place and other restrictions related to COVID-19 have impacted our abilities to visit mines in Mexico and Asian counties as well as to meet with potential clients and mine owners for our consulting business and our own investment in mine projects. Our clients that are negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 may cancel or suspend their mine acquisition projects, which in turn will reduce their demands for our services and materially adversely impact our revenue.
The global economy has also been materially negatively affected by COVID-19 and there is continued severe uncertainty about the duration and intensity of its impacts. The U.S. and global growth forecast is extremely uncertain, which would seriously affect people’s investment desires in mines in Mexico, Asia and internationally.
While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock.
Further, as we do not have access to a revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we would be able to secure commercial debt financing in the future in the event that we require additional capital. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to see us through the outbreak. However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future, the outbreak-related instability in the securities markets could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

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

Not applicable.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the end of the period covered by this report that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses. The control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses are as described below.
1. We do not have an Audit Committee. While we are not legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is of the utmost importance for entity-level control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently, the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of an audit committee.
2. We did not implement appropriate information technology controls. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was retaining copies of all financial data and material weakness. The material weakness relatesagreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to our havingunmitigated factors.
3. We currently lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We have one employee assigned to positionsa position that involveinvolves processing financial information, resulting in a lack of segregation of duties so that all journal entries and account reconciliations are reviewed by someone other than the preparer, heightening the risk of error or fraud.
We have taken certain actions to remediate the material weakness related to our lack of U.S. GAAP experience. We have engaged an outside CPA with U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience to supplement our current internal accounting personnel and assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
If we are unable to remediate the material weakness, or other control deficiencies are identified, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner. Due to our small size and the early stage of our business, segregation of duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. We have limited capital resources and have given priority in the use of those resources to our business development efforts. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017.2020. However, we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis. As our operations grow and become more complex, we intend to hire additional personnel in financial reporting and other areas. However, there can be no assurance of when, if ever, we will be able to remediate the identified material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
