PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary provides an overview of all material information contained in this prospectus.  It does not contain all the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase the shares our selling stockholders are offering.  You should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus and review our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to, “Fuse,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Fuse Science, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

Business Overview

 

Fuse Science, Inc. is an innovative consumer products and delivery technology holding company based in Miami Lakes, Florida. Fuse Science holds the rights to new, patent-pending technologies poised to redefine how consumers receive energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals. The Company maintains the rights to sublingual and transdermal delivery systems for bioactive agents that can now, for the first time, effectively encapsulate and charge many varying molecules in order to produce complete product formulations which can be consumed orally, applied topically or delivered otherwise sublingually or transdermally, thereby bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and entering the blood stream directly. The Fuse Science technology is designed to accelerate conveyance of medicines or nutrients relative to traditional pills and liquids and can enhance how consumers receive these products.

 

We plan to commercialize our proprietary technology through a dual strategy:

 

  · the commercialization of select sports nutrition and performance products which showcase the efficacy and ease of use to consumers leveraging the voice of and endorsement partnerships with prominent athletes to drive, brand and product awareness, and
     
  · targeted licensing of the proprietary technology into major over-the-counter (OTC) and pharmaceutical categories in which the delivery system offers superior product efficacy and consumption.

 

The Company’s initial sports nutrition and performance product, Enerjel™, was launched online on December 30, 2011, followed by its expansion into targeted retail distribution channels in mid-2012. Enerjel™ is a topical product leveraging some of our proprietary technology, which is designed to address muscle fatigue and soreness, before, during and after physical activity. In December 2012, the Company launched its initial “DROP” products, PowerFuse™ (an energy formulation in a concentrated drop) and ElectroFuse™ (an electrolyte formula in a concentrated drop), online, with the expansion into targeted retail distribution channels to begin in early 2013. Simultaneously, the Company is focusing on OTC and pharmaceutical licensing efforts beginning with analgesic, hypoglycemic, and hyperglycemic platforms, with the assistance of Atlas Advisors, an investment banking firm specializing in this field. We believe that our dual approach provides a foundation for a long-term strategy to deliver significant shareholder value.

 

We are no longer a development stage company, having transitioned to the operating stage during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Our primary focus now is increasing market-acceptance for our products and, accordingly, increasing sales. With this change in our status, we expect that our financial condition and results of operations will undergo substantial change from what we experienced as a development stage company. In addition to recording both revenue and expense from product sales, we expect to incur increased costs for sales and marketing expenses. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements are not expected to be indicative of our future financial condition and results of operations.

 

Background

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 21, 1988.  Since that time, the Company has engaged in a number of businesses as a private and subsequently a publicly held company, including developing and marketing data communications and networking infrastructure solutions for business, government and education (which business was sold in 2002) and as a “ business development company ” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, from 2007 to 2009.

 

On April 14, 2011, Maurice E. Durschlag, our former President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and director, assigned and transferred the assets of two privately held companies to a newly formed Delaware company, Fuse Science, Inc. (“ Newco ”).  Newco was developing sublingual and transdermal delivery technologies with applications in the sports nutrition and medical fields for the delivery of energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals.

 

Mr. Durschlag held 23% of the outstanding shares of Newco.  Adam Adler, our current Chief Business Development Officer, and Brian Tuffin, our current Chief Executive Officer, each held 27% and 26%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Newco.  Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated April 14, 2011 (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, whose corporate name was then “Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd.,” Maurice E. Durschlag, Adam Adler, Leonard Adler and Brian Tuffin (collectively, the “Sellers”), the Sellers exchanged all the common stock of Newco for an aggregate of 23,297,000 shares of the Company’s common stock such that Newco is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In connection with the Exchange Agreement described above, the following shares of common stock of the Company were issued:  (i) 5,445,500 shares were issued to Maurice E. Durschlag; (ii) 6,007,000 shares were issued to Brian Tuffin; (iii) 6,332,300 shares were issued to Adam Adler; and (iv) 5,512,500 shares were issued to Leonard Adler.

In December 2011, the Company changed its name from “Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd.” to “Fuse Science, Inc.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

March 2013 Financing

 

General

 

On March 7, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated an offering (the “March 2013 Financing”) of (i) $1,500,000 in principal amount of senior convertible notes and $550,000 in principal amount of senior subordinated convertible notes (collectively, the “Notes”) and (ii) the 2013 Warrants, consisting of (a) series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,058,828 shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and (b) series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,058,828 shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrants,” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “2013 Warrants”) at a purchase price of $2,050,000 in a private placement to a group of institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2013 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), on the terms set forth below.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Investor purchased a Note, a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant. As discussed more fully below, the Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), and are entitled to earn interest which may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock (the “Interest Shares”). The 2013 Warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock (as exercised, the “Exercise Shares”). The Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares and the Exercise Shares are all subject to standard anti-dilution provisions.

 

The terms of the March 2013 Financing include a beneficial ownership limitation applicable to the conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the 2013 Warrants, such that no Holder (as defined below) may convert his or its Notes or exercise his, her or its 2013 Warrants if, after such conversion or exercise, the Holder would beneficially own, together with its affiliates, more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Each Holder may lower this limitation percentage at any time or increase this limitation percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon sixty-one (61) days’ prior written notice to the Company.

 

In connection with the March 2013 Financing, the Company paid National Securities Corporation and Dawson James Securities, the placement agents (the “Placement Agents”), a placement fee of $164,000 and issued to the Placement Agents and their designees, the placement agent warrants, consisting of five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,266,175 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share and seven-month warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,266,175 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share (collectively, the “Placement Agent Warrants”), all subject to the same resetting provisions as in the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, as described below.

In connection with the March 2013 Financing, the Company filed this registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC covering the resale of the Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares and the Exercise Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”).

 

The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file the registration statement with the SEC within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Closing Date and have the registration statement declared effective within seventy-five (75) calendar days after the Closing Date, or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date in the event the registration statement is subject to a full review by the SEC.  The registration statement covers the Registrable Shares for resale by the Investors or their permitted assigns (each, a “Holder”), in an amount equal to 110% of the sum of (i) the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes, (ii) the number of Interest Shares issuable pursuant to the Notes (assuming a per share price of $0.19) and (iii) the number of Exercise Shares initially issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants assuming the Warrant Share Adjustment (as hereinafter defined) occurs upon expiration of the Measurement Period (as hereinafter defined).

 

The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file the registration statement with the SEC within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Closing Date and have the registration statement declared effective within seventy-five (75) calendar days after the Closing Date, or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date in the event the registration statement is subject to a full review by the SEC. The Company is obliged to amend the registration statement or file a new registration statement in the event the number of shares available under any registration statement is insufficient to cover the securities issuable or exercisable under the March 2013 Financing.

 

The Company will pay registration delay payments of 1.0% of each Holder’s initial investment in the Notes and 2013 Warrants sold in the March 2013 Financing per month if the registration statement is not filed or declared effective within the foregoing time periods or ceases to be effective prior to the expiration of certain deadlines provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date. However, no registration delay payments shall be paid (i) with respect to any securities being registered that we are not permitted to include in the registration statement due to the SEC's application of Rule 415, or (ii) with respect to any Holder, solely because such Holder is required to be described as an underwriter under applicable securities laws, and such Holder elects not to have its shares registered.

 

- 10 -
 

 

If, at the end of the Measurement Period, there is no adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Notes and the Exercise Prices of the Warrants, the Warrants will adjust so that the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder will increase by 100% (the “Warrant Share Adjustment”). If at the date the Warrant Share Adjustment occurs (“Warrant Share Adjustment Date”), the expiration date of the Series B Warrants is less than sixty (60) days subsequent to the Warrant Share Adjustment Date, the expiration date of the Series B Warrants will be extended to the sixtieth (60th) day after the Warrant Share Adjustment Date.

 

Restriction Period

 

For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the sixty (60) day anniversary thereof, the Company shall not offer, sell, grant or otherwise dispose of any of its common stock (or the common stock of any of its subsidiaries) or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock, debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, or securities exercisable to convertible into shares of common stock (a “Subsequent Placement ”). In addition to the foregoing restrictions, for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Investors have a right to participate in any Subsequent Placement; except that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to certain issuances of the Company’s securities, including, without limitation, issuances (i) under outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and contractual commitments outstanding as of the Closing Date, (ii) under an approved equity incentive plan or plans (limited to 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the Closing Date), (iii) in connection with or related to mergers, acquisitions, strategic business partnerships or joint ventures, in each case with non-affiliated third parties and (iv) warrants (in an amount of up to 50% coverage) issued in connection with purchase order or inventory financing.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

As a condition to consummation of the March 2013 Financing, the Company’s executive officers who beneficially own an aggregate of 26,916,948 shares of common stock, entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they agreed not to sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer their shares during the sixty (60) day period commencing on the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions for estate planning and similar purposes.

 

Description of the Securities in the March Financing

 

Notes

 

General

 

The Notes under the March 2013 Financing are one (1) year senior convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 and one (1) year senior subordinated convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $550,000. Except for their subordination to the senior convertible notes, the terms of the senior subordinated convertible notes and the senior convertible notes are identical. The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum beginning on March 7, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), which will be paid on April 15, July 15 and October 15, 2013 and January 15, 2014 of each year to the record Holder of each Note. The interest accrued is payable in Interest Shares, although the Company may, at its option and upon written notice to each Holder of the Notes, make such interest payments in cash or in a combination of cash and Interest Shares.

 

Conversion and Conversion Price Adjustments

 

Any Holder of a Note is entitled to convert the Note into Conversion Shares at any time by delivery of a notice of conversion to the Company (“Conversion Notice”). On or before the third trading day after receipt of the conversion Notice, the Company must deliver to the Holder such number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to the conversion. The number of Conversion Shares the Holder will receive upon conversion of the Notes will be determined by dividing the amount of principal being converted plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the “Conversion Amount”) by the conversion price effective at the time of the conversion (the “Conversion Price,” and such calculation, the “Conversion Rate”).

 

The Notes have an initial Conversion Price of $0.17. The Conversion Price may be reset on the eleventh (11th) consecutive trading day following (i) the date on which a Registration Statement registering all the Registrable Shares is declared effective by the SEC, or (ii) if earlier, each of:

 

  · the date the Registrable Securities may first be sold under Rule 144; and
     
  · the date that any of the Registrable Securities are registered in a Registration Statement.

 

- 11 -
 

 

If the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as set forth above, it will be reset to the lower of:

 

  · the then-existing Conversion Price; and
     
  · 80% of the average of the volume-weighted average prices for each of the preceding ten (10) complete consecutive trading days (the “Measurement Period”).

 

The Conversion Price may also be subject to adjustment upon any change of control of the Company, any subdivision or combination of any one or more classes of common stock, or any issuance or sale by the Company of any shares of common stock at a price lower than the effective Conversion Price immediately prior to such issuance or sale (a “Dilutive Issuance”).

 

Rights Under the Notes

 

Purchase Rights

 

The Holders of the Notes are entitled to purchase rights in the event the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of common stock. Each Holder will be entitled to acquire such number of additional securities which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon conversion of the Note.

 

Redemption Rights of the Holders

 

At their option, the Holders of the Notes are entitled to redemption rights on all or any portion of the Notes upon the occurrence of (a) a change of control of the Company or (b) certain triggering events constituting an event of default, such as:

 

  · suspension from trading of the common stock
     
  · failure by the Company to convert the Notes into Conversion Shares within five (5) days of the conversion date;
     
  · failure by the Company to pay interest or other amounts due on the Notes;
     
  · failure to remove any restrictive legend on the certificates of the Conversion Shares; and
     
  · suspension from trading or failure of the common stock to be listed on a national securities exchange for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) trading days in any 365-day period.

 

Mandatory Conversion

 

All the outstanding Notes will be mandatorily convertible if at any time after the Measurement Period the closing sale price of the common stock listed on the principal market on which the common stock is sold exceeds 250% of the Conversion Price for twenty (20) consecutive trading days and certain other conditions as set forth in the Notes are met.

 

Miscellaneous

 

The Holders of the Notes are not entitled to voting rights in their capacities as such, except as required by law.

 

The Company must, with respect to each of the Notes, initially reserve a number of shares of common stock equal to 130% and the entire Conversion Rate with respect to the entire Conversion Amount of each Note as of the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Company must take all actions necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued common stock such number of shares of common stock equal to 130% of the number of shares of common stock necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding.

2013 Warrants

 

General

 

The Series A Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the Closing Date and the Series B Warrants have a term of seven (7) months from the Closing Date. Each of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants is immediately exercisable upon issuance into an aggregate of 12,058,828 fully paid and non-assessable Exercise Shares at an initial exercise price of $0.21 per share in the case of the Class A Warrants and $0.17 per share in the case of the Class B Warrants (the “Exercise Price”).

 

Exercise and Exercise Price Adjustments

 

The Holders may exercise the 2013 Warrants at any time by delivering to the Company a written notice of exercise and payment of an amount equal to the effective Exercise Price (as of the date of exercise) multiplied by the number of Exercise Shares as to which the 2013 Warrant is being exercised. Upon receipt of the notice of exercise and payment, the Company will issue and deliver to the Holder the number of Exercise Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to the exercise. The Class A Warrants may also be exercised on a “ cashless ” basis.

 

The Exercise Price may be reset on the first trading day after expiration of the Measurement Period.

 

If the Exercise Price is subject to adjustment as set forth above, it will be reset to the lower of:

 

  · the then-existing Exercise Price; and
     
  · 125% in the case of the Series A Warrants and 80% in the case of the Series B Warrants of the average of the volume weighted average prices for each of the preceding ten (10) consecutive trading days.

 

The Exercise Price is also subject to adjustment in the event the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, pays a stock dividend on, subdivides or combines one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of common stock, or issues or sells any shares of common stock pursuant to a Dilutive Issuance.

 

Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price, the number of Exercise Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the 2013 Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionally, such that after such adjustment, the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the adjusted number of Exercise Shares will be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the number of Exercise Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the 2013 Warrants.

 

If, at the end of the Measurement Period, there is no adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Notes and the Exercise Prices of the Warrants, the Warrants will adjust so that the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder will increase by 100% (the “Warrant Share Adjustment”). If at the date the Warrant Share Adjustment occurs (“Warrant Share Adjustment Date”), the expiration date of the Series B Warrants is less than sixty (60) days subsequent to the Warrant Share Adjustment Date, the expiration date of the Series B Warrants will be extended to the sixtieth (60th) day after the Warrant Share Adjustment Date. The Placement Agent Warrants are subject to the Warrant Share Adjustment as well, with the number of shares issuable under each set of Placement Agent Warrants to be increased by 844,118 Shares, if the Warrant Share Adjustment occurs.

 

Rights Under the 2013 Warrants

 

Participation Rights

 

The Holders of the 2013 Warrants are entitled to participate in any dividend or other distribution of assets, or rights to acquire assets, the Company makes to holders of shares of common stock, and the Holders are entitled too participation rights in the event the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of common stock, to the same extent that each Holder would have participated if such Holder had held the number of Exercise Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of the 2013 Warrants immediately before the date on which record is taken for such a distribution.

 

Miscellaneous

 

The Holders of the 2013 Warrants solely in their capacities as such, are not entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any share capital of the Company, and Holders do not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company, including any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rigs or otherwise prior to the exercise of the 2013 Warrants.

 

- 13 -
 

 

The Company must at all times keep reserved for issuance under the 2013 Warrants the number of shares of common stock necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligations to issue Exercise Shares. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of common stock to satisfy its obligations under the 2013 Warrants, the Company shall take all action necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to a sufficient amount.

The Company's financial ability to make payments due with respect to the Notes:

 

The Company believes that its business and financial strategy in conjunction with the anticipated revenue forecast and margin profile will produce adequate cash flow to service the financial obligations associated with this financing round.

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company is generating revenues from its consumer products, including ElectroFuseTM and PowerFuseTM Brands, which were launched in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. Management expects to rapidly build sales as it builds national distribution with existing and planned additional retailers.

 

The face value of all outstanding notes payable at December 31, 2012 was $374,000. These notes obligate the Company to approximately $8,250 interest payments on a quarterly basis payable April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 15. Management believes the conversion rates of the promissory notes will remain consistent with historical trends. All but $55,000 of the promissory notes outstanding at December 31, 2012 have been converted to equity or repaid as of the date of this prospectus.

 

To facilitate additional cash flows, Management structured the convertible promissory note offering to include the Series B Warrants which expire in October 2013. These warrants are designed to generate up to $4,100,000 in additional working capital for the Company, assuming the Warrant Share Adjustment occurs.

 

Short sales by the selling stockholders:

 

We have been advised by the selling stockholders that in connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. We have also been advised by the selling stockholders that no selling stockholder had a short position at the time such selling stockholder first became aware that the Company was contemplating a private placement. Furthermore, during the period commencing on such date through the time of the public announcement of the private placement, no selling stockholder entered into any short sales with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Calculation of shares registered hereunder:

 

The number of shares registered hereunder with respect to the 2013 Financing equals 110% of the sum of (i) the maximum number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Note, (ii) the maximum number of Interest Shares issuable pursuant to the Notes (assuming a per share price of $0.19 and (iii) the maximum number of Exercise Shares initially issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, assuming no adjustment to the Exercise Prices thereof upon expiration of the Management Period.

 

Exchange Offer

 

On March 14, 2013, Fuse repurchased its outstanding 2012 Series A Warrants (the “2012 Series A Warrants”) from the holders thereof (the “Holders”) through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”). The 2012 Series A Warrants were originally issued on February 9, 2012 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 7, 2012, among the Company and the Holders and were scheduled to expire on February 8, 2012. Accordingly, the Company believed that the 2012 Series A Warrants, which were currently exercisable on a “cashless basis,” represented a significant market “overhang” which has now been eliminated.

 

- 17 -
 

 

Under Exchange Agreements entered into among the Company and the Holders, (a) the Holders of 2012 Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,181,965 shares of our common stock agreed to exchange their 2012 Series A Warrants for an aggregate of 38,127,538 shares of our common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) (1.8 shares of our common stock for each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants) and (b) the Holders of Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,703,815 shares of our common stock agreed to exchange their 2012 Series A Warrants for (i) an aggregate of 8,555,723 Exchange Shares (1.5 Exchange Shares for each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants) and (ii) newly issued five-year warrants to purchase an equal number shares of our common stock, exercisable on a “cash only” basis at an exercise price of $0.30 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”). If exercised in full, the Exchange Warrants would generate approximately $2.6 million in capital to the Company. The Exchange Warrants provide for registration of the underlying shares of common stock under the Securities Act subsequent to the expiration of the 2013 Series B Warrants.

RISK FACTORS

 

The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling stockholders are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock.  Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected.  In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.

 

We have a limited operating history with our current business.

 

The Company was incorporated in 1985 and has engaged in a number of businesses as a private and subsequently a publicly held company, including developing and marketing data communications and networking infrastructure solutions for business, government and education (which business was sold in 2002) and as a “ business development company ” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, from 2007 to 2009.

 

The current business of Fuse Science only began to generate revenues in 2012 following the online launch of the Company’s first product, Enerjel , on December 30, 2011. Our business is subject to all the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in establishing a new business, including successful development, launch and commercialization of our products. The Company does not know if it will become commercially viable and ever generate significant revenues or operate at a profit.

 

We have incurred significant losses to date and the report of our auditors on our financial statements includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph.

 

The Company incurred net comprehensive losses of ($11,042,438) and ($2,017,269) for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. As of September 30, 2012, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of ($470,757). Our independent auditors reports for the years ended September 31, 2012 and 2011 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our lack of revenues and working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The presence of such a paragraph may adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital.

 

The Company will require substantial additional financing to become commercially viable.

 

To date, the Company has funded its development activities primarily through private placements of its securities and the subsequent exercise of warrants sold in those offerings, which raised approximately $5,288,000 and $900,000 during the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company will require financing of approximately $2,000,000 to $3,500,000 during fiscal 2013 in addition to the proceeds of the March 2013 Financing, to finance current and expected future operations, as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. We have no commitments or firm plans to raise the additional financing and there can be no assurance that necessary additional financing will be available to the Company, on favorable terms or otherwise.  Moreover, any such additional financing may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.  The absence of additional financing when needed, could cause the Company to scale down or delay implementation of its business plan in whole or in part and curtail its business activities, which would seriously harm the Company and its prospects.

 

The covenants in the Notes sold in the March 2013 Financing restrict our ability to incur additional debt.

 

The covenants in the Notes sold in the March 2013 Financing limits the amount of additional debt we may incur. Accordingly, such covenants may adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of debt instruments.

 

The Company is dependent upon the successful development, commercial launch and acceptance of its planned products and the successful license of its technology.

 

The Company’s ultimate success will be dependent in large part upon its ability to timely complete development of and commercially launch its planned products and their acceptance by potential customers, as well as the ability to successfully license its technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company’s planned products will ever gain commercial acceptance, whether its technology will be successfully licensed, whether it will ever generate significant revenues or that it will ever be profitable.

 

The Company cannot guaranty that it can effectively market its planned products and technology.

 

A significant part of the Company’s success will depend on its marketing strategy. The Company’s marketing efforts have been relatively limited to date, consisting principally of establishing endorsement partnerships with well-known athletes. There can be no assurance as to the success of any marketing strategy the Company may seek to implement. If the Company cannot effectively market its planned products and license its technology, its prospects will be harmed.

The scope of protection of intellectual property relating to the Company’s products is uncertain.

 

There can be no assurance as to the scope of proprietary protection, if any, which we will be able to secure for our technology. There can be no assurance that patent applications to which we hold rights or subsequently file, will result in the issuance of patents or that any patents issued will provide commercially significant protection to our technology. Moreover, the Company cannot guarantee that it will not infringe on intellectual property rights belonging to third parties, that third parties will not infringe upon the intellectual property belonging to the Company or that third parties will not develop a competing products without infringing on the Company’s intellectual property rights, any of which could harm its business.

 

We intend to rely on third parties to manufacture or products.

 

We do not directly manufacture our products, but instead outsource such manufacturing to a third party pursuant to a manufacturing agreement. This third party supplier may not be able to fulfill our demand as it arises, could begin to charge rates that make using its services cost inefficient or may simply not be able to or willing to provide their services to us on a timely basis or at all. In the event of any disruption or delay, whether caused by a rift in our relationship with our contract manufacturer or its inability to manufacture our products as required, we would need to secure the services of alternative suppliers. We may be unable to procure alternative suppliers at commercially reasonable rates and/or within a reasonably short time period and any such transition could be costly. In such case, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

We may incur material losses as a result of product recall and product liability.

 

We may be liable if the consumption of any of our planned products causes injury, illnesses or death. We also may be required to recall some of our products if they become contaminated or are damaged or mislabeled. A significant product liability judgment against us, or a widespread product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The amount of insurance we carry is limited, and that insurance is subject to certain exclusions and may not be adequate.

 

We may be subject to government regulation.

 

Depending on the category of potential products, regulatory requirements vary widely. Our sports and nutrition products typically do not require prior approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “ FDA ”) to market, but are subject to various regulations governing purity labeling and advertising. As we move to license our technology for OTC and other medicines, FDA approval requirements are more complex and the cost of complying therewith increases. Failure to comply with any regulatory requirements applicable to us could substantially harm our business.

 

The Company will likely face significant competition.

 

The market for the Company’s planned products and technology are highly competitive and we will compete with other companies who offer or plan to introduce alternative delivery systems for energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals.  Some of these competitors or potential competitors have greater experience, more extensive industry contacts and greater financial resources than the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company can effectively compete.

 

We currently rely on certain key individuals and the loss of one of these key individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company.

 

Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of our management.  These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and success.   In particular, the success of our Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers. Although we have employment and consulting agreements with our executive officers, the loss of any of their services could have a material adverse effect on the success and development of our Company.  Additionally, we do not anticipate having key man insurance in place on the life of our executive officers in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its ability to attract qualified personnel and consultants.

 

The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its ability to attract qualified creative marketing, sales and product development teams.  The inability to do so on commercial reasonable terms may harm the Company’s proposed business.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our executive officers and directors.  We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

The market for our common stock is limited.

 

Our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “DROP.” Trading in stock quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects.  This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance.  Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities in the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq, or a stock exchange like NYSE/AMEX.  Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

 

Our common stock is a penny stock.  Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.

 

Our common stock is a penny stock.  The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “ penny stock ” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “ accredited investors .”  The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.  Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.  Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.  Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.

 

Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include:

 

  · control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to a promoter or issuer;
     
  · manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
     
  · “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;
     
  · excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
     
  · wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation allows us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders.  Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights, super-voting or other preferred voting rights, and preferences of preferred stock.  As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.

 

We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock.  We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future.  The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider.  Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.

 

The “market overhang” from our outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities could adversely impact the market price of our common stock.

 

We have 143,967,570 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible securities, including, the Notes and the Warrants (including the Warrant Adjustment Shares). Such “market overhang” could adversely impact the market price of our common stock as a result of the dilution which would result if such securities were converted into shares of common stock.

 

Anti-dilution and other provisions in the Notes, the 2013 Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants may also adversely affect our stock price or our ability to raise additional financing.

 

The Notes, the 2013 Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that provide for adjustment of the Note conversion price and the warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable under the Notes, the 2013 Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, upon the occurrence of certain events. If we issue shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into our common stock, at prices below the conversion price or exercise price, as applicable, the conversion price of the Notes will be reduced and the exercise price of the 2013 Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants will be reduced and the number of shares issuable thereunder will be increased. The amount of such adjustment if any, will be determined pursuant to a formula specified in the Notes and 2013 Warrants and will depend on the number of shares issued and the offering price of the subsequent issuance of securities. Adjustments pursuant to these anti-dilution provisions may result in significant dilution to the interests of our existing stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The anti-dilution provisions may also limit our ability to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us.

 

If Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we will not receive any cash proceeds from such exercise.

 

We may not realize any cash proceeds from the exercise of the 2013 Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants. Holders of those warrants may opt for a cashless exercise of all or part of such warrants under certain circumstances. In a cashless exercise, the holder of a warrant would make no cash payment to us, and would receive a number of shares of our common stock having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the then-current market price of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant over the exercise price of such warrant. Such an issuance of common stock would be immediately dilutive to the interests of other stockholders.

 

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange/NYSE/AMEX and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance.  These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with voluntary compliance, we have not yet adopted these measures.

 

We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees.  As a result, directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation.  Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations as a result thereof.

 

We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required.  However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley.  The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers.  The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling stockholders.  We may receive proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, if exercised for cash. We intend to use any proceeds from exercise of the Warrants for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

We have agreed to bear the expenses (other than any underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions) in connection with the registration of the common stock being offered hereby by the selling stockholders.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are (i) those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the 2013 Warrants and (ii) those issuable to the Placement Agents and their designees upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of these securities, see “Recent Developments” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for participation of certain selling stockholders in a financing completed in June 2011, a financing completed in February 2012, the March 2013 Financing and Exchange Offer, and National Securities Corporation being party to investment banking agreements with the Company and serving as placement agent for the prior financing completed in February 2012 and as co-Placement Agents, the March 2013 Financing, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of common stock, Notes and Warrants, as of February 21, 2012, assuming conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants held by each such selling stockholder on that date but taking account of any limitations on conversion or exercise set forth therein. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the Notes set forth therein or (ii) exercise of the Warrants set forth therein.

 

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Investors, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) 110% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, (ii) 110% of the maximum number of other shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Notes and (iii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2013 Warrants (assuming the Warrant Share Adjustment occurs), in each case, determined as if the outstanding Notes and 2013 Warrants were converted or exercised (as the case may be) in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained therein) as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price of the Notes and the Exercise Prices of the 2013 Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Notes and the 2013 Warrants, a selling stockholder may not convert the Notes or exercise the 2013 Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. These restrictions do not apply to the Placement Agents. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

(1) Includes shares of common stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes, in lieu of payment of cash interest under the Notes and/or upon exercise of the 2013 Warrants, based on the Conversion and Exercise Prices in effect as of the date of this prospectus and, in the case of the 2013 Warrants, assumes that the Warrant Share Adjustment occurs.  As described in “Recent Developments – March 2013 Financing - Description of Securities in the March 2013 Financing,” the conversion and exercise prices of the Notes and March 2013 Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof, may be subject to reset based upon the trading price of our common stock during the ten (10) trading days after the date of this prospectus.  In such event, the number of shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders will increase and the volume limitations on beneficial ownership in the Notes and Warrants described above, may be applicable to the selling stockholders other than the Placement Agents.  

  

(2) Hudson Bay Capital Management LP, the investment manager of Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd., has voting and investment power over these shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of common stock held by selling stockholders or issuable upon conversion of or pursuant to the Notes and exercise of the Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock, although we may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, if exercised for cash. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be affected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

  · on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

  · in the over-the-counter market;

 

  · in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

  · through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

  · ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  · block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  · purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  · an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  · privately negotiated transactions;

 

  · short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

  · broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

  · a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

  · any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Notes, Warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

BUSINESS

Business Overview

 

Fuse Science is an innovative consumer products and delivery technology holding company based in Miami Lakes, Florida. Fuse Science holds the rights to new, patent-pending technologies poised to redefine how consumers receive energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals. The Company maintains the rights to sublingual and transdermal delivery systems for bioactive agents that can now, for the first time, effectively encapsulate and charge many varying molecules in order to produce complete product formulations which can be consumed orally, applied topically or delivered otherwise sublingually or transdermally, thereby bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and entering the blood stream directly. The Fuse Science technology is designed to accelerate conveyance of medicines or nutrients relative to traditional pills and liquids and can enhance how consumers receive these products.

 

We plan to commercialize our proprietary technology through a dual strategy:

 

  · the commercialization of select sports nutrition and performance products which showcase the efficacy and ease of use to consumers leveraging the voice of and endorsement partnerships with prominent athletes to drive, brand and product awareness, and

 

  · targeted licensing of the proprietary technology into major over-the-counter (OTC) and pharmaceutical categories in which the delivery system offers superior product efficacy and consumption.

 

The Company’s initial sports nutrition and performance product, Enerjel™, was launched online on December 30, 2011, followed by its expansion into targeted retail distribution channels in mid-2012. Enerjel™ is a topical product leveraging some of our proprietary technology, which is designed to address muscle fatigue and soreness, before, during and after physical activity. In December 2012, the Company launched its initial “DROP” products, PowerFuse™ (an energy formulation in a concentrated drop) and ElectroFuse™ (an electrolyte formula in a concentrated drop), online, with the expansion into targeted retail distribution channels to begin in early 2013. Simultaneously, the Company is focusing on OTC and pharmaceutical licensing efforts beginning with analgesic, hypoglycemic, and hyperglycemic platforms, with the assistance of Atlas Advisors, an investment banking firm specializing in this field. We believe that our dual approach provides a foundation for a long-term strategy to deliver significant shareholder value.

 

We are no longer a development stage company, having transitioned to the operating stage during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Our primary focus now is increasing market-acceptance for our products and, accordingly, increasing sales. With this change in our status, we expect that our financial condition and results of operations will undergo substantial change from what we experienced as a development stage company. In addition to recording both revenue and expense from product sales, we expect to incur increased costs for sales and marketing expenses. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements are not expected to be indicative of our future financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our Technology

 

Delivery mechanisms for the bioactive agents of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compounds (“bioactives”) lie within a constantly expanding field of research. As research and technology advance, so do the avenues of health and nutrition. In this field research, it is a known fact that the bioavailability of any bioactive administered to the body drastically decreases when delivered through the gastrointestinal (“GI”) tract. Through the GI tract, the amount of bioactives actually utilized is neither cost nor time efficient.

 

Fuse Science is developing formulations and devices, which are compatible with alternative delivery systems for energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals, among other bioactives. These alternative systems include, but are not limited to, sublingual, transdermal and buccal drug delivery methods. In most cases, bypassing the GI tract and going straight to the blood stream is a more efficient way to deliver bioactives. Administering bioactives through sublingual and buccal regions does just that.  

 

Fuse Science has developed and continues to advance, in conjunction with its scientific team, sublingual and transdermal delivery systems for bioactives that can effectively encapsulate and charge varying molecules in order to produce product formulations which can be consumed orally, applied topically or otherwise delivered sublingually or transdermally, thereby bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and entering the blood stream directly. The delivery technology is comprised of proprietary encapsulation vesicles and ion exchange permeation enhancers.  This technology utilizes a gradient across the mucosa membrane to help deliver the bioactive more efficiently through the mucosa.

 

Products and Product Pipeline

 

We believe that through use of our delivery systems and devices, ant-inflammatory medication, analgesics and antihistamines will be able to be administered with equal or higher bioavailability. Vitamins, minerals and caffeine will be able to be delivered with more convenience and faster absorption. We anticipate a large range of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical drug bioactives will be able to be delivered through the technology used in our delivery systems, which we believe will lead to greater efficiency in cost, time, product efficacy and user compliance.

Our current product line consists of:

 

  · EnerJel™ - a topical product leveraging some of our proprietary technology, which is designed to address muscle fatigue and soreness, before, during and after physical activity. The product contains a natural anti-inflammatory and energy source which is directly applied to the problem area. EnerJel™ was launched online on December 31, 2011 and expanded into targeted retail distribution channels in mid-2012.

 

  · PowerFuse™ - Fuse Science’s first energy formula in a concentrated drop. Administered quickly and easily by mouth, it allows for optimal absorption, so that you feel energized and are able to perform at your natural best throughout the game, workout or day. PowerFuse™ contains natural ingredients, causes no sugar crash with zero calories and less than half the caffeine of an eight ounce cup of premium coffee. It is available in a great tasting Berry Blast Flavor. PowerFuse™ was launched online in December 2012 with expansion into targeted retail distribution channels to begin in early 2013.

 

  · ElectroFuse™ - Fuse Science’s first electrolyte formula in a concentrated drop. Administered quickly and easily by mouth, it allows for optimal absorption of the electrolytes. ElectroFuse™ contains natural ingredients, causes no sugar crash with zero calories, is easily portable and is available in a great tasting Salty-Sweet flavor. Electrofuse™ was launched online in December 2012, with expansion into targeted retail distribution channels to begin in early 2013.

 

In support of our licensing efforts, there are a series of potential product formulations in various categories that are being contemplated or are in development through defined project platforms. It is anticipated that these formulations will be licensed and supplied to industry leaders in their respective categories. Immediate areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

 

Rx Applications   OTC Applications   OTC Applications (continued)
         
·    Insulin   ·    Aspirin   ·    Analgesics
·    Estradiol   ·    Caffeine   ·    Allergy
·    Paclitaxel   ·    Folic Acid   ·    Cough and Cold
·    Niacin   ·    Vitamin E   ·    Sleep Aids
·    Nicotine   ·    Niacin   ·    Appetite Suppressants
    ·    Anti-Aging Skin Care   ·    Complex Nutraceuticals

 

In August 2012, we entered into a letter of intent with Macular Health, LLC (“Macular”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of macular degeneration nutritional supplements to license our proprietary delivery technology for the development of DROP formulations of Macular’s products. As of the date of this report, we have advanced through four stages of product development and currently are preparing final formulations for clinical testing, which we anticipate will be facilitated by Macular in 2013.

 

Manufacturing

 

Fuse uses Cure Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Cure Pharma”), as a third party contract manufacturer for its products. Cure Pharma manufacturers Fuse’s products pursuant to a manufacturing agreement at a negotiated cost. The manufacturing agreement has a term currently expiring in November 2013, subject to automatic one-year renewals unless terminated by either party upon breach or upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. Manufacturing is conducted in Cure Pharma’s FDA inspected facility in Oxnard, California, which meets cGMP and GLP standards. The manufacturing facility operates with pharmaceutical grade equipment and processes as a standard operating practice, which will allow it to manufacture pharmaceutical grade applications of our technology.  Trade Secrets are maintained within this facility and current capacity will meet the needs of the business in the foreseeable future with adequate space for expansion.

 

In the event Fuse’s manufacturing agreement with Cure Pharma is terminated, Fuse currently would likely experience disruptions in product supply. Accordingly, since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, Fuse Science has been making capital investments in the manufacturing process to improve efficiency, reduce cost and expand output. We plan to make further capital investments in the manufacturing process during fiscal 2013 to optimize quality control, further improve operational efficiency and ensure sufficient levels of product output to meet demand. There is no assurance, however, that Fuse will be able to successfully do so.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

The launch of our sports nutrition and performance products began with the online launch of EnerJel™ on December 30, 2011, followed by its expansion into targeted retail distribution channels in mid-2012. In December 2012, we launched PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™ online, with expansion into targeted retail distribution channels to begin in early 2013. We select distribution channels which we believe create a strategic advantage for our products. Target retailers for our products include drugstores, health food stores, grocery stores, sporting goods stores and mass merchants. 

 

- 29 -
 

 

During 2012, we began establishing strategic marketing and distribution relationships with various retailers, including GNC for Enerjel™ and a comparable arrangement with Dicks Sporting Goods to lead retail distribution of our DROP products.

 

In February 2012, we entered into licensing and distribution agreements with Mission Product Holdings (“Mission”) who develops, manufactures and markets the Mission Athletecare™ line of skincare products. Pursuant to the license agreement, Fuse granted Mission a restricted license to use Fuse’s proprietary transdermal delivery technology in connection with the development, manufacture and marketing of Mission Athletecare™ skincare products. Under the distribution agreement, Mission has agreed to offer for sale and distribute Fuse’s line of existing and planned sports nutrition products to a network of food, drug and sporting goods retailers that currently carry the Mission brand.

 

We plan to continue our efforts to establish and enter into additional strategic marketing and distribution relationships.

 

Target consumers for our sports nutrition and performance products are active males and females who exercise frequently. It is our intent to further leverage our high profile endorsement partners to promote and generate consumer product trials via social media, database marketing and grass roots marketing efforts. We focus on athletes with a substantial social media presence in our endeavor to reach 30,000,000 target consumers with each communication leveraging our athlete partner portfolio.

 

During 2012, we hired a Vice President of Marketing and Clinical Research and a second employee with significant marketing experience with celebrity endorsers, social media management and “grass roots” marketing to enhance our marketing and sales efforts. We also established an internal sales force of four salary and commission-based salespersons, which focus on direct sales to targeted retailers, either directly or through third party distributors and wholesalers.

 

Endorsement Partnerships

 

Our endorsement partnerships represent a cornerstone for the Company’s efforts to build brand and product identity and awareness more rapidly than traditionally realized from basic advertising and promotion. This is facilitated by leveraging the social media consumer following of each sports figure to reach our target consumer base. It is believed that this will allow for more targeted marketing messages to be delivered in real time, with increased quality and relevance to our target consumers. We have entered into endorsement partnerships with the following sports figures:

 

  · Tiger Woods: World Leader in Golf
     
  · Tyson Chandler: New York Knicks
     
  · Paul Rodriguez: Skateboarder
     
  · Andre Ward: Boxer
     
  · Michelle Ray: IFBB Fitness Pro
     
  · David “Big Papi” Ortiz: Boston Red Sox
     
  · Jose Bautista:  Toronto Blue Jays
     
   ·    Ken Griffey, Jr.: Retired Baseball Player
     
  · Arian Foster: Houston Texans
     
  · Ronde Barber: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
     
  · Glover Quin: Houston Texans
     
  · Nolan Carroll:  Miami Dolphins

  

- 30 -
 

   

  · Paul Pierce: Boston Celtics
     
  · Florida Panthers:  National Hockey League

 

Under these agreements, our partner athletes license us to use their name and image in connection with the promotion of our products.  They also undertake to make ongoing social media promotion of our products (e.g. Twitter, Facebook), as well as endorsements in more traditional media forums such as television and radio. In certain circumstances, our brand may be promoted on athletic gear they use.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Our proprietary technology is comprised of a combination of filed, and to-be-filed provisional and pending patent applications as well as trade secrets that enable the full complement of the technology through each modality.. The pending patent application is licensed by Fuse through an exclusive thirty (30) year worldwide license agreement with the developer of this technology. There can be no assurance that patent applications to which we hold rights or subsequently file will result in the issuance of patents or that any patents issued will provide commercially significant protection to our technology. We also protect our trade secrets via internal corporate procedures conducive to rigid protection of our intellectual property in total. It is our diligent corporate practice to facilitate the ongoing advancement and defense of all intellectual property that support the going efforts of the Company. The Company cannot guarantee that it will not infringe on intellectual property rights belonging to third parties, that third parties will not infringe upon the intellectual property belonging to the Company, or that third parties will not develop a competing products without infringing on the Company’s intellectual property rights, any of which could harm its business.

 

Research and Development

 

We currently contract with the developer of our technology to provide product development and other research and development services. Our scientific team is enhanced by various members of our board of directors and advisory board. During 2013, we intend to start developing an in-house research and development team, who will initially coordinate these external efforts.

 

Competition

 

For the past three decades, transdermal and sublingual delivery systems have taken on an ever-expanding role in the delivery of medicines. This has been fueled by the technology’s numerous advantages over other routes of administration, including improved efficacy, fewer side effects and better patient compliance. Accordingly, we face existing and potential competition with respect to our planned product categories. Many of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories and far greater financial and technical resources.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete.

 

Government Regulation

 

Fuse Science maintains a strict policy of adherence to all government regulatory requirements to which our products are subject. Depending on the category of potential products, the regulatory requirements vary widely. Our sports and nutrition line products typically do not require prior approval of the FDA to market, but are subject to various regulations governing purity, labeling and advertising.  As we move into OTC and other medicines, FDA approval requirements are more complex and the cost of compliance therewith increase.  We anticipate that regulatory compliance for these product categories will be undertaken and the cost thereof borne by our planned licensees.

 

Employees

 

The Company currently employs six full time persons, including its executive officers. We also have an internal sales force of four salary and commission-based salespersons, who focus on direct sales. We use non-employee consultants to assist us in formulating research and development strategy, preparing regulatory submissions, developing protocols for clinical trials, and designing, equipping and staffing our manufacturing facilities and business development. These consultants and advisors usually have the right to terminate their relationship with us on short notice. As the Company expands its operations, it will be required to hire technical, marketing and sales and administrative personnel on a full time basis.

 

Properties

 

We currently lease approximately 3,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Miami Lakes, Florida. The space is occupied pursuant to a two (2) year lease with a non-affiliated party expiring in January 2014, at a monthly rental of $1,950, including taxes.

Legal Proceedings

 

A dispute has arisen between the Company and Maurice “Hank” Durschlag, the Company’s former President, with respect to approximately $70,000 in fees allegedly due under a consulting agreement entered into in March 2011 prior to the Company’s April 2011 acquisition of Fuse Science, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Mr. Durschlag has instituted a breach of contract action in North Carolina state court and the Company was served in such action on March 18, 2013. The Company intends to vigorously contest the action.

 

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.

OTCQB quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (i) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; (iii) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask  price; (iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and; (vi) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (i) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (iv) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules.  Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

 

Outstanding Shares and Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of March 20, 2012, we have 230,193,206 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 80 holders of record.

Rule 144 Shares

 

Rule 144 provides that a person who is not an affiliate and has held restricted securities for a prescribed period of at least six months (if the issuer is a reporting company) or 12 months (if the issuer is a non-reporting company, as is the case herein), may, under certain conditions, sell all or any of his shares without volume limitation.  Affiliates, however, may not sell shares in excess of 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock in any three month period.  There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for the three months prior to sale) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for the aforementioned prescribed period of time.

 

However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of restricted securities initially issued by a blank-check or shell company, both before and after a business combination, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.  As we were a blank check company prior to 1996, such restricted securities can be resold only through a registered offering or pursuant to another exemption from registration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of a company which:

 

(a)           has ceased to qualify as a blank-check or shell company;

 

(b)           is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

 

(c)           has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d), as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the company was required to file such reports and materials); and

 

(d)           has filed certain information with the SEC, (in our case, this registration statement) reflecting that it is no longer a blank-check or shell company;

 

may, after one year has elapsed from the effective date of this registration statement, within any three-month period resell a number of such restricted securities that does not, with respect to the ordinary shares, exceed the volume limitations set forth above.

 

Dividends on Common Stock

 

We have not previously declared a cash dividend on our common stock and we do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the near future.

Our operating expenses were $1,939,931 and $811,484 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, an increase of $1,128,447 from 2011 to 2012, reflecting increased operations. For the three months ending December 31, 2012, $557,167 was recorded for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation. This compares with $451,151 for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation for the three months ending December 31, 2011. The deferred compensation expense in 2012 and 2011 represents the amortized fair value of stock and options issued for services to non-employees. The share-based compensation charges to operations in 2012 and 2011 were primarily for stock options granted under our 2011 Incentive Stock Plan to executive officers and were made so that their interests would be aligned with those of shareholders, providing incentive to improve Company performance on a long-term basis. Grants of stock options were also made to third parties for various services rendered and as additional compensation for financing agreements. Amortization of deferred compensation is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation expense is included in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, general and administrative expenses were $1,190,013 and $468,622, respectively. The increase of $721,391 is primarily composed of decreases in non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $171,856 to consultants and $333,431 in compensation expenses to employees. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for management and administrative staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including professional fees related to accounting, finance, and legal services as well as other operating expenses.

Professional Fees Expense

 

Professional fees expense increased to $576,347 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, from $178,274 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. This increase was due to the Company’s requirements for legal, compliance, protection and accounting and consulting services related to the Company’s ongoing day-to-day business dealings and execution of its business plan, including, accounting, financial reporting and SEC compliance. Professional fees expense increase also includes $171,856 in non-cash compensation.

 

Salary and Benefits

 

Salary and benefits amounted to $494,541 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $106,394 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of approximately $388,000 was due to an increase in personnel headcount. Prior to April 1, 2012 the Company limited payments to employees and consultants based on cash availability resulting in underpayment of salaries. During the second quarter of the fiscal year the Company hired additional personnel. The payroll increase includes $333,431 in non-cash compensation.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, sales and marketing expenses were $748,318 and $342,862, respectively. The increase of $405,456 is primarily due to the marketing efforts for Enerjel™, and PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™, which were subsequently launched online in December 2012. In February 2012, the Company entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with Mission to market the Company’s products through their distribution channels. This agreement included comprehensive marketing services and heavy commercialization efforts during the first ten (10) months. The Company paid Mission approximately $650,000 for these services, which is amortized over 10 months. Included in the increase in 2012 is amortization of deferred compensation (non-cash) of approximately $104,039 as of December 31, 2011 compared to $274,481 as of December 31, 2012.

Our operating expenses were $7,495,221 and $1,614,307 for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $5,880.914 for 2011 to 2012, reflecting increased operations. In 2012, $2,078,185 was recorded for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation. This compares with $647,703 for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation for the period ending September 30, 2011. The deferred compensation expense in 2012 and 2011 represents the amortized fair value of stock and options issued for services to non-employees. The share-based compensation charges to operations in 2012 and 2011 were primarily for stock options granted under our 2011 Incentive Stock Plan to executive officers and were made so that their interests would be aligned with those of shareholders, providing incentive to improve Company performance on a long-term basis. Grants of stock options were also made to third parties for various services rendered and as additional compensation for financing agreements. Amortization of deferred compensation is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation expense is included in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 general and administrative expenses were $4,118,264 and $1,483,273, respectively. The increase of $2,634,991 is primarily composed of decreases in non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $392,924 to consultants and $644,636 in compensation expenses to employees. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for management and administrative staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including professional fees related to accounting, finance, and legal services as well as other operating expenses.

Professional fees expense increased to $2,231,952 for the year ended September 30, 2012, from $787,328 for the year ended September 30, 2011. This increase was due to the Company’s requirements for legal, compliance, protection and accounting and consulting services related to the Company’s ongoing day-to-day business dealings and execution of its business plan, including, accounting, financial reporting and SEC compliance. Professional fee expense increase includes $392,924 in non-cash compensation.

Salary and benefits increased by $922,793 to $1,542,848 for the year ended September 30, 2012 from $620,055 for the year ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due to an increase in personnel headcount. Prior to April 1, 2012 the Company limited payments to employees and consultants based on cash availability resulting in underpayment of salaries. During the second quarter of the fiscal year the Company hired additional personnel. The payroll increase includes $644,636 in non-cash compensation.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, sales and marketing expenses were $3,172,416 and $131,034, respectively. The increase of $3,041,382 is primarily due to the marketing efforts for Enerjel™ and our DROP under development, which were subsequently launched online in December 2012. In February 2012, the Company entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with Mission to market the Company’s products through their distribution channels. This agreement included comprehensive marketing services and heavy commercialization efforts during the first ten (10) months. The Company paid Mission approximately $650,000 for these services, which is amortized over 10 months. Included in the increase in 2012 is amortization of deferred compensation (non-cash) of approximately $104,039 as of September 30, 2011 compared to $1,040,642 as of September 30, 2012. The Company’s products are endorsed by a number of professional athletes which are remunerated cash and non-cash payments.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for sales and marketing personnel, professional services, promotional, marketing and related activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working deficit at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011.

 

   December 31,
2012
   December 31,
2011
   Increase/(Decrease) 
             
Current Assets  $739,539   $219,375   $520,164 
Current Liabilities  $1,160,923   $844,471   $316,452 
Working Deficit  $(421,384)  $(625,096)  $203,712 

  

As December 31, 2012, we had a working deficit of $(421,384), as compared to a working deficit of $(625,096) at December 31, 2011, an increase of $203,712. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company’s issuance of $250,000 from our 9% due on demand notes, as well as $1.5 million for warrants exercised on February 2012 Notes.

  

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(1,384,434) and $(281,249), respectively. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(2,105,174) and $(999,380), respectively. 

 

Net cash used in and provided by investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, was $(19,979) and ($21,190), respectively. The Company purchased equipment during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

 

Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,648,746, as compared to $315,000 which was used for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of approximately $1,333,746 is primarily related to a February 2012 private placement of convertible notes and warrants for approximately $3.2 million and the subsequent exercise of a portion of such warrants which generated approximately $1.3 million. Besides the foregoing existing notes and warrants, the Company issued additional notes and warrants (which we exercised) generating $1,521,324 in cash for the Company.

 

Our primary source of operating cash has been through private placements of our securities, principally convertible notes and warrants and the subsequent exercise of certain of those warrants.

 

Management estimates that it will need between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000 in capital during fiscal 2013 to continue to commercialize our products, license our technology and otherwise fully implement our business plan. We have no commitments to raise any such capital. If such capital is not available when needed on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, we may have to scale down or delay implementation of our business plan in whole or in part and curtail its business activities, which would seriously harm the Company and its prospects.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow since its inception. At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash of approximately $306,383 and a deficit in working deficit of $(421,384). Further, at December 31, 2012, the accumulated deficit amounted to $25,219,218. As a result of the Company's history of losses and unfavorable financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 

 

The Company will require additional funding of between $2,000,000 and $3,500,000 during fiscal 2013, in addition to the proceeds of the March 2013 Financing, to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations, as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

  · continue with the implementation of our business plan;

 

  · generate new sales from expanded retail distribution of EnerJel™, PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™;

 

- 39 -
 

 

  · seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing;

 

  · continue facilitation of licensing efforts; and

 

  · allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

 

A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund the Company’s planned expenses and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Management plans to finance future operations through the use of cash on hand, increased revenues and capital raised through equity or debt financing. We also expect to receive proceeds from stock warrant exercises from existing shareholders. As the Company’s product continues to gain market acceptance, the Company expects sales in fiscal 2013 and beyond to substantially increase.

  

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve its projected level of revenues in fiscal 2013 and beyond. If the Company is unable to achieve its projected revenues and is not able to obtain alternate additional financing of equity or debt, the Company would need to significantly curtail or reorient its operations during 2013, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives and as a result may require the Company to file for bankruptcy or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.

 

Our future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including: the rate at which we can introduce and sell products; the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and market acceptance of our products and competing technological developments. We expect that we will incur between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000 in cash expenditures for our operating expenses during fiscal 2013. As we expand our activities and operations, our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with revenue growth after we have achieved sustained revenue generation.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New Accounting Standards

 

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective.  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.  See Note 2.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The SEC issued “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policies”; suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies.  The SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Based on this definition our most critical accounting policies are in process of evolving while we move from the development stage to the operational stage of our business cycle.

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Effective with the filing with the Secretary of State of Nevada of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation on December 27, 2011, our board of directors has been divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III.  Class I, Class II and Class III directors will initially be elected at the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders for terms of one year, two years and three years, respectively.  Class I directors elected at the next annual meeting will hold office for one year; Class II directors will hold office for two years; and Class III directors will hold office for three years; and, in each case, until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.  At each annual meeting of shareholders, directors elected to succeed those in the class whose terms then expire will be elected for three-year terms so that the terms of one class of directors will expire each year.  Thus, our shareholders will elect only approximately one-third of the directors at each annual meeting.  In addition, the board of directors may fill any vacancies which occur for the remainder of the term of the director who ceases to be a director.  We have not yet designated which directors will be in each class.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Fuse Science, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fuse Science, Inc. (formerly Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd.) and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

 

We conduct our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fuse Science, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss since inception, has a net accumulated deficit and may be unable to raise further equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We conduct our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fuse Science, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss since inception, has a net accumulated deficit and may be unable to raise further equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FUSE SCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

ORGANIZATION

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 21, 1988.  Since that time, the Company has engaged in a number of businesses as a private and subsequently a publicly held company, including developing and marketing data communications and networking infrastructure solutions for business, government and education (which business was sold in 2002) and as a “ business development company ” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, from 2007 to 2009.

 

On April 14, 2011, Maurice E. Durschlag, our former President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and director, assigned and transferred the assets of two privately held companies to a newly formed Delaware company, Fuse Science, Inc. (“ Newco ”).  Newco was developing sublingual and transdermal delivery technologies with applications in the sports nutrition and medical fields for the delivery of energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals.

 

Mr. Durschlag held 23% of the outstanding shares of Newco.  Adam Adler, our current Chief Business Development Officer, and Brian Tuffin, our current Chief Executive Officer, held 27% and 26%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Newco.  Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated April 14, 2011 (the “ Exchange Agreement ”) by and among the Company, whose corporate name was then “ Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd., ” Maurice E. Durschlag, Adam Adler, Leonard Adler and Brian Tuffin (collectively, the “ Sellers ”), the Sellers have exchanged all the common stock of Newco for an aggregate of 23,297,000 shares of the Company’s common stock such that Newco is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.  In connection with the Exchange Agreement described above, the following shares of common stock of the Company were issued:  (i) 5,445,500 shares were issued to Maurice E. Durschlag; (ii) 6,007,000 shares were issued to Brian Tuffin; (iii) 6,332,300 shares were issued to Adam Adler; and (iv) 5,512,500 shares were issued to Leonard Adler.

 

The business of Newco, which the Company acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and on which the Company is focusing its efforts is subject to all the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in establishing a new business including successful development, launch, and commercialization of its planned products using and licensing of its sublingual and transdermal delivery technology.

 

On December 8, 2011, and pursuant to shareholder action by written consent, the Company made the following amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation:

 

  · changed the name of the Company from Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. to Fuse Science, Inc.;

 

  · increased the number of shares of common stock which the Company is authorized to issue to 400,000,000 shares from 100,000,000 shares;

 

  · increased the number of shares of preferred stock with the Company is authorized to issue to 10,000,000 shares from 12,500 shares;

 

  · increased the number of directors to a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 15;

 

  · created a classified board of directors;

 

  · required advance notice and disclosure procedures for shareholders seeking to nominate the Company's directors;

 

  · required advance notice and disclosure procedures for shareholders seeking to bring forth proposals for consideration at shareholder meetings;

 

  · established the percentage of shares required to be held for shareholders to call a special meeting of shareholders;

 

  · eliminated the ability to take shareholder action by written consent in lieu of a shareholder meeting;

  

  · added a provision to limit the liability of officers and directors of the Company;

 

  · added a provision to allow the board of directors to adopt, repeal or amend the Company's ByLaws; and

 

F-10
 

 

  · required the affirmative rule of 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to effect certain future amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CONSOLIDATION POLICY AND HISTORY OF BUSINESS

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, Fuse Science, Inc. (“FUSE”) a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries FS Consumer Products Group, Inc., a Florida corporation and Ultimate Social Network, Inc. (“USN”) its 60%-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company was originally incorporated in 1985 in Nevada. Its common stock now trades on the OTCQB under the symbol DROP.PK.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company records revenue from the sale of Enerjel™, its initial product, when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s customers may return ordered items for a refund . The Company also provides customers incentives to purchase products at a discount. For the year ended September 30, 2012, we have recorded sales discount, returns and allowances of $2,285 is netted against sales for the year then ended.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories consist of items or products, which are manufactured by a contracted manufacturer on behalf of the Company, for resale and packaging material used to distribute such products. Inventories are valued at average cost and adjusted to reflect lower of cost or market. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon the specific facts and circumstances and market conditions. As of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, no obsolescence reserves were considered necessary.

 

FIXED ASSETS

 

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three 3-10 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Fixed assets currently included machinery of $85,440 and website cost of $13,062. As of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the accumulated depreciation of equipment was $4,622 and $0, respectively.

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Investments are classified into the following categories:

 

  · Trading securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings;
  · Available-for-sale securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reported in other comprehensive income;
  · Held-to-maturity securities and other investments reported at amortized cost; and
  · Investments using the equity method of accounting.

 

F-11
 

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value information about financial statements is required to be disclosed when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments and because related interest rates offered to the Company approximate current rates.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. A wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans are included. The Company’s financial statements would include an expense for all share-based compensation arrangements granted on or after January 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Other intangible assets primarily consist of intellectual property.   We apply an impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable.  Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives.  We believe that the straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events change or if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method and deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  

 

The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with existing accounting guidance on income taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other non-interest expense, respectively.

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Company follows current accounting requirements and uses the modified prospective and transition method for all stock options issued.  The Company measures compensation cost for all options granted based on fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation over the service period for those options expected to vest.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. 2011 Incentive Stock Plan on October 17, 2011 and it was approved by a majority of shareholders on December 8, 2011.  The Company did not grant any options during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 pursuant to this plan.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options would have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s options, although they provide the best estimate currently.

 

F-12
 

 

RECLASSIFICATION

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements at September 30, 2011 and for the year then ended to conform to the September 30, 2012 presentation.  The reclassifications had no effect on net loss.

 

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The Company’s earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

 

As described in Note 6 and Note 11 – Convertible Notes Payable, the Company had warrants outstanding during each of the period ended September 30, 2012. The convertible notes are reflected in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the corresponding periods by application of the “if converted” method to the extent their effect is dilutive.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not established sources of revenue sufficient to fund the development of the business, projected operating expenses and commitments for the next twelve months. The Company had a net loss from operations of $(11,042,438) during the year ended September 30, 2012. Included in this loss, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $2,460,177 which relates to contracts entered into by the Company for current and future services undertaken for marketing and promotional activities by brand athletes through endorsement contracts, as well as contracts with consultants to provide professional services and employment contract with the Company’s key employees. Also included is $116,000 of value in stock issued as penalty for early termination of a consulting agreement. As a result, 400,000 shares were issued to terminate the agreement. At September 30, 2012, current assets are $573,979 and current liabilities are $1,184,615. These conditions raise serious doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made as a result of this uncertainty.

 

The Company intends to continue to raise necessary capital from different financing sources including private placements of its restricted securities, including common stock, convertible notes and exercising of warrants. During the year ended September 2012, the Company issued 10% secured senior convertible promissory note in the amounts of $3,169,359 (“February 2012 Notes”). The February 2012 Notes include two sets of Warrants, “Series A Warrants” and “Series B Warrants.” Series A Warrants are five-year warrants to purchase 15,092,186 shares of the common stock at $.26 per share. Series B Warrants are seven-month warrants to purchase 15,092,186 shares of the common stock at $.21 per share. The warrants are subjected to certain price adjustments based on subsequent issuance of additional convertible notes and mandatory conversion if the market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds 250% for 25 consecutive days. On July 6, 2012, the Company successfully completed its registration statement. This triggered a price adjustment on August 8, 2012 and the total convertible shares increased to 24,379,685 at a conversion price of $.13. Similarly, the number of warrants increased to 24,379,685 for Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, respectively.

In December 2011, the Company also issued two 90-Day 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes with Subscription Options (the “December Notes”) in the amounts of $75,000 and $60,000. An additional December Note in the principal amount of $50,000 was issued in January 2012. These notes were extinguished as a result of being rolled into the February 2012 Notes. The December Notes included an increment in principal of 15% of the face value of the note. In the event the Company did not undertake the subsequent financing, the December Notes with accrued interest would convert into Units consisting of 10 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an additional six shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of units issuable upon the conversion would be equal to the value of note plus accrued interest divided by $1.50. If the subsequent financing did not take place, the December Notes would include five-year warrants to purchase 300,000 and 240,000 shares of common stock respectively at a price of $0.18 per share. However, the December Notes were converted in to subscriptions for the securities sold in the subsequent financing. There can be no assurance in any case that the Company will secure sufficient funding to fully implement the Company’s business plan.

F-14
 

 

In 2011 and 2012, the Company engaged in three rounds of financing. Each round consisted of debt issuances as well as the issuance of warrants and is summarized below.

 

       Conversion   Number of 
Due Date  Face Value   Rate   Warrants 
February 7, 2014  $3,169,359    See below    30,184,371 
September 9, 2012  $100,000   $0.12    3,000,000 

 

Round 3 – December 2011 Notes

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, several note holders converted to common stock. A total of $260,000 of our September 9, 2012 notes with a fair value of $360,000 bearing interest at 8% converted at $0.12 per share. In addition to the September notes, a note holder of the October 20, 2012 notes converted with a face value of $180, 000 and bearing interest at 8%.

 

On January 4, 2012, we executed an agreement for additional December Notes with a face value of $50,000 bearing 8% interest rate maturing in 90 days. Similar to the previous notes issued in December 2011, these notes are convertible into Units consisting of 10 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an additional six shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price $.18 per shares. The notes are convertible at $1.50 per unit and $0.15 per share. The fair value of these instruments resulted in a discount of $28,508, which is the fair value of the warrants. In addition, a beneficial conversion value of $145,175 was immediately expensed as a result of the notes’ immediate conversion feature following execution of the agreement.

 

On February 9, 2012, the terms of our December Notes with were significantly modified and the note holders were now included as part of the February 2012 Notes. Detailed below are the face values of the December Notes prior to modification of the terms:

 

       Unit Conversion   Number of 
Due Date  Face Value   Rate**   Warrants 
March 22, 2012  $75,000   $1.50    300,000 
March 29, 2012  $60,000   $1.50    240,000 
April 4, 2012  $50,000   $1.50    200,000 

 

** Each unit consists of ten shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase six additional shares of the Company’s stock

   

As a result of the modification to the terms of the December Notes, we recognized a gain on the extinguishment of the debt due the present value of the cash flow of the old notes (December Notes) exceeding the value of the new notes (February 2012 Notes) by more than 10%. The modification of the December Notes included an increase in face values of the notes as well as an increase in the interest rate from 8% to 10% and the maturity date was extended from 90 days to two years. As a result of these modifications, a gain on the extinguishment of the debt in the amount of $211,419 was recorded to settle the December Notes. The face values of December Notes is $185,000 and the interest accrued through the date of the modification amounted to $1,642. The Company wrote off the fair value originally allocated to the warrants issued with these notes, from additional paid in capital, in the amount of $71,225 as well as the beneficial conversion features originally allocated in the amount of $211,038. Unamortized discount of $70,844 associated with the December Notes was written off.

 

On February 9, 2012, we consummated a private placement of (i) $3,169,359 in principal amount of Notes (“ February 2012 Notes ”) which is inclusive of the modified December Notes and (ii) the February 2012 Warrants, consisting of (a) series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,092,185(prior to conversion rate adjustment) shares of common stock (the “ Series A Warrants ”) and (b) series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,092,185 (prior to conversion rate adjustment) shares of common stock (the “ Series B Warrants ”) at a purchase price of $3,169,359 in a private placement to a group of institutional and accredited investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2012. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, and are entitled to earn interest which may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock. The February 2012 Warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock. The convertible shares are all subject to standard anti-dilution provisions. See below for additional information on the anti-dilution provision and conversion rate adjustment.

 

The February 2012 Notes are two (2) year senior convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $3,169,359. The February 2012 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum beginning on February 9, 2012, which will be paid on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year to the record note holder of each note. The interest accrued is payable in interest shares, although the Company may, at its option and upon written notice to each note holder of the February 2012 Notes, make such interest payments in cash or in a combination of cash and interest shares.

 

F-15
 

 

The Series A Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the Closing Date and the Series B Warrants have a term of seven (7) months from the Closing Date. Each of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants is immediately exercisable upon issuance into an aggregate of 15,092,185 (prior to conversion rate adjustment) fully paid and non-assessable Exercise Shares at an initial exercise price of $.26 per share in the case of the Class A Warrants and $0.21 per share in the case of the Class B Warrants.

 

The February 2012 Notes contain a standard “blocker” provision so that no holder shall have the right to convert any portion of its Convertible Notes to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the note holder and its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. By written notice to the Company, a holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered and such percentage may not, in any event, exceed 9.99%.

 

Any note holder of the February 2012 Notes is entitled to convert the notes into conversion shares at any time by delivery of a notice of conversion to the Company. On or before the third trading day after receipt of the conversion notice, the Company must deliver to the note holder such number of conversion shares to which the note holder is entitled pursuant to the conversion. The number of conversion shares the note holder will receive upon conversion of the Notes will be determined by dividing the amount of principal being converted plus any accrued and unpaid interest by the conversion price effective at the time of the conversion. The February 2012 Notes have an initial conversion price of $0.21 however it is subject to reset depending on the filing of the registration statement. At no time, however, will the Conversion rate be reset below $0.12 per share as a result of a conversion rate adjustment.

 

The Company received net proceeds in the amount of $2,391,500 after offering cost of $558,500 and non-cash settlement for the $219,359. In recording the transaction, the Company allocated the face value of the notes between the estimated the fair values of the February 2012 Notes, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. As a result, the February 2012 Notes were discounted by $1,421,848 for Series A Warrants and $892,776 Series B Warrants. The carrying value of the February 2012 Notes as of the day of the transaction amounted to $854,735. The Company also recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $854,735 representing the amount allocated to the Notes. The beneficial conversion feature was expensed in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operation, as a result the February 2012 Notes being available for conversion 3 days after consummation of the agreement. The discount associated with Series A Warrant is amortized over the life of the note and the discount associated with Series B Warrants is amortized over six months as a result of that being exercisable in seven months.

 

Placement Agent Fee

 

The Company paid the placement agent, a placement fee of $236,000 and issued to the placement agent and its designees, the placement agent warrants, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,366,868 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.26 per share and seven-month warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,366,868 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share. The Company recorded an asset related to financing charge that will be amortized over the life of the February 2012 Notes. As of September 30, 2012, the unamortized financing cost amounted to $64,230. As a result of the significant conversion of the February 2012 Notes, we have accelerated the amortization of the financing fees.

 

 

The fair value of each warrant on the date issued was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used for the calculation of the warrants granted in September, October, December 2011 and February 2012.

 

   11-Sep   11-Dec   12-Feb
(A Warrants)
   12-Feb
(B Warrants)
 
Expected term   5 years    5 years    5 years    6 months 
Expected average volatility   309%   296%   163.06%   163.06%
Expected dividend yield   0%   0%   0%   0%
Risk-free interest rate   3.50%   2.90%   .82%   .11%

 

The recorded discount on the convertible notes payable is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note or seven months for the discount associated with Series B Warrants and is summarized as follows as of September 30, 2012.

 

       Debt Discount

Exercise Price Adjustment

 

 In July 2012, the Company registered under the Securities Act of 1933 the shares underlying and associated with the February 2012 Notes and Series A and Series B warrants issued in connection with the February 2012 Notes. As a result, the 25 trading day price adjustment provision of the February 2012 Notes and Series A and B Warrants was triggered. Accordingly, in August 2012, the conversion price of the February 2012 Notes and the exercise price of the Series B Warrants was decreased to $0.13 and the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was decreased to $0.21. In each instance, there was a corresponding increase in the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of these securities. The reduction in the conversion rate increased the number convertible shares to 24,379,685 and related Series A and Series B Warrants to 24,379,685, respectively.

 

 

On September 5, 2012 the board of directors approved an extension of the Series B Warrants, which would have expired on September 9, 2012 to November 9, 2012.

 

7. WARRANT EXERCISES

  

In January 2012, the Company entered into agreements with holders of outstanding warrants to purchase 3,583,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share. These warrants were originally issued with our first round of private financing completed in May and June 2011. Pursuant to these agreements (i) such holders agreed to exercise their warrants for cash, (ii) we agreed to (a) issue to each of such holders an additional five (5) year warrant entitling them to purchase a number of shares equal to that acquired upon exercise of their Initial Warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the “ January 2012 Warrants ”) and (b) grant them certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares issued upon exercise of the Initial Warrants and issuable upon exercise of the January 2012 Warrants. The January 2012 Warrants also provides for cashless exercise and for anti-dilution adjustments in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions. The January 2012 Warrants generated gross proceeds of $430,000. The Company recorded the cash received of $430,000 and a discount of $887,753 as the difference between the fair value of the new warrants of $1,337,086 issued and the shares that were delivered to the investor as a result of exercising the warrants. The fair value associated with the new issue was expensed immediately as a result of the induced exercise.

 

 

In addition to the January 2012 warrants, we had cashless exercises of warrants for 8,431,294 shares. As a result of the shares being exercised, we adjusted the additional paid in capital account to reflect for the value of the warrants exercised.

 

8. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded no income tax benefit or expense for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

During the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the provision for income taxes (all deferred) differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to income before provision for income taxes as a result of the following:

 

   2012   2011 
         
Computed "expected" income tax benefit  $3,754,400   $686,900 
State income taxes, net of federal benefit   441,700    80,800 
Other   -    (150,500)
Valuation allowance   (4,196,100)   (617,200)
   $-   $- 

 

Significant components of deferred income tax assets are as follows:

 

   2012   2011 
         
Net operating loss carry-forwards  $4,828,300   $1,576,600 
           
Stock compensation   632,200      
Capital loss carry-forwards   121,600    121,600 
Investments   12,700    12,700 
Total deferred tax assets   5,594,800    1,710,900 
Valuation allowance   (5,594,800)   (1,710,900)
Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

F-17
 

 

The Company has approximately $12,706,000 of Federal and State net operating loss carry-forwards which will expire at various dates beginning in 2022 through 2032. Their utilization is limited to future taxable earnings of the Company and may be subject to severe limitations if the Company undergoes an ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company also has a capital loss carry forward of $320,000 which expires in 2015. Its utilization is limited to the Company’s future capital gains.

 

Due to the uncertain nature of the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax asset, the Company has established a full valuation allowance the benefits of the net deferred tax asset and will recognize these benefits only as reassessment demonstrates they are realizable. Ultimate realization is dependent upon several factors, among which is future earnings. While the need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the allowance is reduced, the tax benefits of the net deferred tax assets will be recorded in future operations as a reduction of the Company’s income tax expense. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company reduced the valuation allowance by $312,200 as a result of the deferred tax liability relating to the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes payable.

 

The U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Florida are the major tax jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or State examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

 

For the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period or during the current period. No interest or penalties have been recorded as a result of tax uncertainties.

10.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company operated as a BDC until January 20, 2009, when it elected to no longer be treated as a BDC.  As a part of its operations and consistent with the operating parameters of a BDC, the Company developed a number of relationships with its portfolio company investments, including members of the Company's board of directors becoming officers and directors of its portfolio company investments.  The Company made loans to the portfolio companies and entered into management agreements with the portfolio companies.  As a result of operating as a BDC and then converting to an operating company, a number of its previous relationships were required to be categorized as related party transactions.  Subsequently, these transactions ceased to qualify as related party transactions due to the termination of the related party relationship.

 

While operating as a BDC the Company had management contracts and made loans to its 60% owned subsidiary USN. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation with USN.

 

Related party amounts included in the balance sheet may be summarized as follows:

11.          2011 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

 

On October 26, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. 2011 Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan").  The maximum number of shares authorized and available under the Plan is 20,000,000 shares and the Plan was approved on December 8, 2011 by written consent of a majority of the Company's shareholders.  Under the terms of the Plan, the options expire after 5 years.  The Company has reserved 20,000,000 shares of common stock for the grant of qualified incentive options or non-qualified options to employees and directors of the Company or its parents or subsidiaries, and to non-employee directors, consultants and advisors and other persons who may perform significant services for or on behalf of the Company under the Plan.  Prices for incentive stock options must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the options are granted unless the eligible employee owns more than 10% of the Company's common stock for which the exercise price must be at least 110% of such fair market value.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted options for 14,043,000 shares of restricted common stock.  A summary of this activity during the year ended September 30, 2012 follows:

15.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

 

On October 12, 2012, we issued an additional unsecured note with a face value of $250,000 bearing 9% interest rate maturing on demand.

 

Effective October 19, 2011, Rubin Hanan, President and Chief Operating Officer, Aitan Zacharin, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Information Officer and Adam Adler, Vice President of Business Development, agreed to reduce their monthly cash compensation from $18,000 each to $17,000, $8,333 and $8,333, respectively. In addition, Mr. Hanan, Zacharin and Adler, together with Brian Tuffin, Fuse’s Chief Executive Officer, agreed to eliminate their monthly car allowances of $1,000 each. The monthly compensation of Jeanne Hebert, who joined Fuse as Vice President of Marketing and Clinical Research in January 2012 was increased from $8,333 to $10,000. Fuse believes that these adjustments more clearly align executive compensation levels with industry norms for executives holding comparable positions and will free additional cash resources for implementation of the Company’s business strategy.

 

Contemporaneously with the changes in executive compensation, the executive officers were granted options under Fuse’s 2011 Incentive Stock Plan to purchase common stock, certain of which are exercisable at $0.12 per share and certain of which are exercisable at $0.21 per share as follows:

 

Name of Executive Officer  Number of
$0.12
Options
   Number of $0.21 Options 
Brian Tuffin   1,050,000    450,000 
Rubin Hanan   1,225,000    525,000 
Aitan Zacharin   700,000    300,000 
Adam Adler   700,000    300,000 
Jeanne Hebert   700,000    300,000 

 

 As of November 8, 2012, approximately $1,521,324 in new working capital was raised by the Company through exercise of Series B Warrants sold in the February 2012 Private Placement. This represented approximately 13,830,216 shares. In addition, another $125,605 of our February 2012 Notes converted into common stock of 971,117 shares.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CONSOLIDATION POLICY AND HISTORY OF BUSINESS

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fuse Science, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“FS R&D”), FS Consumer Products Group, Inc., a Florida corporation and its 60% owned subsidiary, Ultimate Social Network, Inc. (“USN”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Its common stock now trades on the OTCQB under the symbol DROP.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information set forth in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2012, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments and which in the opinion of management are necessary to make the interim condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. The September 30, 2012 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with these financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest stockholder’s annual report (Form 10-K) which were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company records revenue from the sale of Enerjel™, Powerfuse™ and Electrofuse™ , when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s customers may return ordered items for a refund . The Company also provides customers incentives to purchase products at a discount. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we have recorded sales discounts, returns and allowances of $4,740 which is netted against sales.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories consist of items or products, which are manufactured by a contracted manufacturer on behalf of the Company, for resale and packaging material used to distribute such products. Inventories are valued at average cost and adjusted to reflect lower of cost or market. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon the specific facts and circumstances and market conditions. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, no obsolescence reserves were considered necessary.

 

F-31
 

 

FIXED ASSETS

 

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three 3-10 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted to $114,510 and $93,880 as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, the accumulated depreciation of equipment was $7,434 and $4,622, respectively.

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Investments are classified into the following categories:

 

·Trading securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings;
·Available-for-sale securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reported in other comprehensive income;
·Held-to-maturity securities and other investments reported at amortized cost; and
·Investments using the equity method of accounting.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value information about financial instruments is required to be disclosed when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments and because related interest rates offered to the Company approximate current rates.

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Intellectual property is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our intellectual property may not be recoverable.  Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives.  We believe that the straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events change or if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method and deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with existing accounting guidance on income taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other non-interest expense, respectively.

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Company follows current accounting requirements and uses the modified prospective and transition method for all stock options issued.  The Company measures compensation cost for all options granted based on fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service period for those options expected to vest.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. 2011 Incentive Stock Plan on October 17, 2011 and it was approved by a majority of shareholders on December 8, 2011.

 

F-32
 

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options would have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s options, although they provide the best estimate currently.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The wide range of share-based compensation arrangements includes share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. The Company’s financial statements include an expense for all share-based compensation arrangements granted on or after January 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

 

RECLASSIFICATION

 

A reclassification has been made to the financial statements at September 30, 2012 to comply with the presentation for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The reclassification had no effect on net loss.

 

LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company’s loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three months. Diluted losses per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the losses of the Company.

 

As described in Note 5 – Notes Payable and Note 9 – Incentive Stock Plan, the Company had warrants outstanding during each of the three months ended December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. The convertible notes are reflected in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the corresponding periods by application of the “if converted” method to the extent their effect is dilutive.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

 

   For the Three Months ended
December 31,
 
   2012   2011 
Numerator:          
Net loss available to stockholders  $(2,105,174)  $(999,380)
           
Denominator:          
Weighted average number of common shares – Basic   176,794,628    94,360,082 
Weighted average number of common shares – Diluted   176,794,628    94,360,082 
           
Net income (loss) per common share:          
Basic  $(0.01)  $(0.01)
Diluted  $(0.01)  $(0.01)

 

3.GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not established sources of revenue sufficient to fund the development of the business, projected operating expenses and commitments for the next twelve months. The Company had a net loss from operations of $(2,105,174) during the three month period ended December 31, 2012. Included in this loss, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $738,344 which relates to contracts entered into by the Company for current and future services undertaken for marketing and promotional activities by brand athletes through endorsement contracts, as well as contracts with consultants to provide professional services and employment contracts with the Company’s key employees. At December 31, 2012, current assets are $739,539 and current liabilities are $1,160,923. These conditions raise serious doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made as a result of this uncertainty.

4.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

In April 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of FS R&D, a development stage company with no prior operations. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 unamortized intellectual property relating to this acquisition amounted to $81,106 and $81,756, respectively.

8.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company operated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) until January 20, 2009, when it elected to no longer be treated as a BDC.  As a part of its operations and consistent with the operating parameters of a BDC, the Company developed a number of relationships with its portfolio company investments, including members of the Company's board of directors becoming officers and directors of its portfolio company investments.  The Company made loans to the portfolio companies and entered into management agreements with the portfolio companies.  As a result of operating as a BDC and then converting to an operating company, a number of its previous relationships were required to be categorized as related party transactions.  Subsequently, these transactions ceased to qualify as related party transactions due to the termination of the related party relationship.

 

While operating as a BDC the Company had management contracts and made loans to its 60% owned subsidiary USN. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation with USN.

 

Related party amounts included in the balance sheet may be summarized as follows:

9.2011 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

 

On October 17, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. 2011 Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan").  The maximum number of shares authorized and available under the Plan is 20,000,000 shares and the Plan was approved on December 8, 2011 by written consent of a majority of the Company's shareholders.  Under the terms of the Plan, the options expire after 5 years.  The Company has reserved 20,000,000 shares of common stock for the grant of qualified incentive options or non-qualified options to employees and directors of the Company or its parents or subsidiaries, and to non-employee directors, consultants and advisors and other persons who may perform significant services for or on behalf of the Company under the Plan.  Prices for incentive stock options must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the options are granted unless the eligible employee owns more than 10% of the Company's common stock for which the exercise price must be at least 110% of such fair market value.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company granted options for 22,597,598 shares of restricted common stock, under the Plan, with a fair value of $1,184,129.

Pursuant to these agreements (a) such holders agreed to exercise these warrants for cash, and (b) the Company agreed to (i) issue to each of such holders an additional five-year warrant entitling them to purchase a number of shares equal to that acquired upon exercise of their warrants and (ii) grant them certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants and issuable upon exercise of the newly issued warrants.

All of the foregoing securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) promulgated thereunder. With respect to each issuance, the shares delivered to the Company appropriate investment representations, including an affirmation of “accredited investor” status. Each party being issued shares had an opportunity to ask questions of the Company and acknowledge that such party understood the risks of an investment in the Company.

 

On March 14, 2013, the Company entered into an exchange offer with the holders of the Series A Warrants issued in February 2012. In such exchange offer, the holders of Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,181,965 shares of common stock exchanged their Series A Warrants for 38,178,538 shares of our common stock and the holders of Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,703,815 shares of common stock exchanged there Series A Warrants for 855,723 shares of common stock and newly issued five-year warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock at $.30 per share.

ITEM 17.UNDERTAKINGS

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1.            To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;

 

(a)           to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(b)           to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.; and

 

(c)           to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

2.           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-4
 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B of the Securities Act or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A of the Securities Act, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
