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.

FUSE GROUP HOLDING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCHDECEMBER 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED) AND SEPTEMBER 30, 20192020
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
Fuse Group Holding Inc. (the “Company” or “Fuse Group” or “We”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 24, 2013. Fuse Group currently explores opportunities in mining. On December 6, 2016, the Company incorporated Fuse Processing, Inc. (“Processing”) in the State of California. Processing seeks business opportunities in mining and is currently investigating potential mining targets in Asia and North America. Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Processing.
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 whichwhen the mine owner is considering selling itshis mining rights. The services of Fuse Group and Processing include due diligence on the potential mine seller and the mine, such as ownership and whether the mine meets all operationoperational requirements and/or is currently in operation.
In March 2017, Processing acquired 100% ownership of Fuse Trading Limited (“Trading”) for HKD1 ($0.13). Trading had no operations prior to the acquisition by Processing. Trading seeks mining-related business opportunities in Asia.
On May 3, 2018, the Company incorporated Fuse Technology Inc. (“Technology”) in the State of Nevada.Nevada, which changed its name to Fuse Biotech Inc. on November 30, 2020. Fuse Group is the sole shareholder of Technology. TechnologyFuse Biotech Inc. ("Fuse Biotech”). Fuse Biotech 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. 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 December 23, 2019, the Board decided to terminate the IMETAL project. Currently, Fuse Biotech is seeking business opportunities in the biotech area.
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 with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada on April 30, 2019, and became effective 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.States (U.S.). In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the U.S. government imposedpandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, on travel betweenand the United States, Chinatemporary closure of office buildings and certain other countries.facilities in the US. 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.
The Company’sOur 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 the Company’s workforce is now working from home either all or substantially all of the time. The effects of the Stay-at-Home order have negativelypandemic impacted the Company’s business development, and disrupted or delayed the Company’s current mine projects and services to its clients, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on the Company’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course. 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 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.

The preparation of financial statementsCFS in conformity with U.S.US 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)date 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:
|
|
|
|
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change because 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.periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment, recognition and measurement of deferred income taxes and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10carrying amounts of certain of the Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Codification (“Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable, approximate their Fair Value ( “FV” ) due to their short maturities. FASB ASC”)ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the FV of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for disclosures about fair value (“FV”) of itscurrent liabilities qualify as financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37are a reasonable estimate of their FV because of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measureshort period of time between the FVorigination of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring FV in U.S. GAAP,such instruments and expands disclosures about FV measurements. their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
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 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the FV measurement. |
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.
As of December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV on a recurring basis.
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$0 outstanding accounts receivable at MarchDecember 31, 2020 orand September 30, 2019.2020.
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) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the FV option under the FV Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (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) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (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) 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 eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements.
The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (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) 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) 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 FASB ASC 450-20 to account 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 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 was 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 October 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new 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 earningsaccumulated deficit 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 those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. For the Company’s mine information service, revenue is recognized when the mine information is forwarded to the client. 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.
Income Tax Provision
The Company accountsuses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of thein accordance with FASB ASC which requires recognition of deferredTopic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax assets and liabilitiesexpense is recognized for the expected futureamount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred tax consequences of eventstemporary differences resulting from matters that was includedhave been recognized in thean entity’s 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 toalso include the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. 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 statementsresults of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences betweenA valuation allowance is provided to reduce 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 recordedreported if based on its balance sheetsthe weight of the available positive and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
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 740-10-25FASB ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of the FASB ASC. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 addresses the determination of whethera tax benefits claimedposition taken or expected to be claimed ontaken in a tax return shouldreturn. FASB ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be recordedsustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13,statements in the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only ifperiod during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained onupon examination, byincluding the taxing authorities, based onresolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should bemore-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured based onas the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greateris more than 50% likelihood50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.settlement with the applicable taxing authority. 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 areis classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statementsstatement of income.
Theoperations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits in accordance withand there was no charges during the provisions of Section 740-10-25 at Marchthree months ended December 31, 2020, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. There was no accrual for uncertain tax position as of December 31, 2020. The Company files a U.S. income tax return. With few exceptions, the U.S. income tax returns filed for the years ending on September 30, 2019. The tax years 2016 - 2018 remain open2017 and thereafter are subject to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other majorrelevant taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. authorities.
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).
Cash Flows Reporting
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”) 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 accordance with FASB ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, the 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 FASB 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) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which superseded the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees 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 910 – 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 havewere 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 are 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 payments 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 lease liabilities (current and non-current), on the consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017,June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test,No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now beentities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its FV, not to exceeddate based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces 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 issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of 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 pricingexisting incurred loss model and is applicable to the attributionmeasurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized 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 newThis guidance is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its CFS.
In December 2019, (i.e., January 1,the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistent application among reporting entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the Company must apply certain aspects of this standard retrospectively for calendarall periods presented while other aspects are applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year entities).

Note 3 – Going Concern
The accompanying CFS were prepared assuming 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 $5.95$6.05 million at MarchDecember 31, 2020, andthe Company had net loss of $35,844$79,942 and $111,916 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, net loss of $6,433 and $49,586$29,411 for the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, whichrespectively. In addition, the Company’s business and services and results of operations have been adversely affected and continue to be adversely affect by the COVID-19 (also see the discussion of COVID-19 in Note 1), these raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Also see the discussion of COVID-19 in Note 1.
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 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 CFS 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.

At MarchDecember 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had noncurrent prepaid expense of $1,000,000. 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 to January 3, 2018 at no additional cost, and the Agreement was subsequently further extended to July 3, 2018. The consultant provided Processing with market research findings, exploration and advice 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 for the purchase of 5 mines located in different areas of Mexico for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. Upon the execution of the MOU, the Company acquired the exclusive right to purchase the mines from the seller, effective until September 30, 2018. The parties entered into an oral agreement pursuant to whichthat the Company willwould pay $1,000,000 to purchase all five mines that would be consolidated into a local company in Mexico upon the $1,000,000 purchase price upon receiving approvalsapproval from the Mexican government allowing for the transfer of all mining concession to the mining concession.Mexican company.

Loan payments will be deferred to either (1) the date that SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender or (2) if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness covered period. Loans issued prior to June 5, 2020 have a maturity of two years, loans issued after June 5, 2020 have a maturity of five years. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. A borrower may apply for loan forgiveness any time on or before the maturity date of the loan, including before the end of the Covered Period (either (1) the 24-week (168-day) period beginning on the PPP Loan Disbursement Date, or (2) if the Borrower received its PPP loan before June 5, 2020, the Borrower may elect to use an eight-week (56-day) Covered Period); provided such application for loan forgiveness is made within 10 months after the last day of the covered period, otherwise the loan is no longer deferred and the borrower must begin paying principal and interest. Just recently, the U.S. Treasury and SBA announced a streamlined PPP forgiveness application for loans of $50,000 or less (unless those borrowers together with their affiliates received loans totaling $2 million or more). It requires fewer calculations and may call for less documentation. It does not require borrowers to reduce their loan forgiveness calculations if they have reduced full-time equivalent (“FTE”) or salaries. The forgiveness application processing time may also be shorter. Fuse Processing applied PPP loan forgiveness in January 2020, and is currently waiting for the approval.

Note 78 – Income Tax
The President of the United StatesU.S. signed into law H.R. 1Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Law”). on December 22, 2017. The Tax Reform Law, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, except for certain provisions, resulted in significant changes to existing United StatesUS tax law, including various provisions that are expected to impact the Company. The Tax Reform Law reduced the federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective October 1, 2018 for the Company.
For most taxpayers, NOLs arising in tax years ending after 2017 can only be carried forward. At MarchDecember 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwardNOL carryforwards for income tax purposes; forpurposes. For federal income tax purposes, the NOLNOLs arising in tax years beginning after 2017 may only reduce 80% of a taxpayer’s taxable income, and may be carried forward indefinitely; for California income tax purposes, the entire NOL can be carried forward up to 20 years. However, the coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“the CARES Act”) issued in March 2020, provides tax relief to both corporate and noncorporate taxpayers by adding a five-year carryback period and temporarily repealing the 80% limitation for NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Company has estimated NOL carry-forwards for Federal and California income tax purposes of $4.13$4.44 million and $4.07$4.36 million at MarchDecember 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019,2020, respectively. No tax benefit was reported with respect to these NOL carry-forwards in the accompanying CFS because the Company believes the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets for the NOL for both federal and California State of approximately $1.22$1.24 million as of MarchDecember 31, 2020, was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a full valuation allowance.

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 imposedpandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, on travel betweenand the United States, China,temporary closure of office buildings and certain other countries.facilities in the US.

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 havepandemic 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.

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.

During the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reportedwe had net loss of $6,433$79,942 and $49,586,net loss of $29,411, respectively. We received $49,600 from the PPP loan and $105,500 from the EIDL loan during the year ended September 30, 2020 for paying the Company’s payroll and other operating expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If we are not successful in developing the mining business and establishing profitability and positive cash flow, additional capital may be required to maintain ongoing operations. We have explored and continue 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 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of MarchDecember 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Not applicable.
Item 4. | 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 MarchDecember 31, 2020, the Company was retaining copies of all financial data and material agreements; 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 unmitigated 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 a position that involves 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 MarchDecember 31, 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 MarchDecember 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We may from time to time be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As we grow and gain prominence in the marketplace we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings.
