Fuse Group Holding (FUST) Risk Analysis
Risk Overview Q3, 2025
Risk Change Over Time
- Cyber Security - Risk 1Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business operations, result in the loss of confidential information and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.
Global cybersecurity threats can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our emails or files to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats. Cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption or unavailability of data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties) and the disruption of business operations. While no cybersecurity attack to date has had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, the threat remains and the potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident include reputational damage, litigation with third parties, and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness and results of operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 15
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1We are a "smaller reporting company" and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our shares of common stock less attractive to investors.
We are currently a "smaller reporting company", meaning we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $250 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. Smaller reporting companies are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a "smaller reporting company" may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company's results of operations and financial prospects.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We do not have a majority of independent directors on our Board and the Company has not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. Our BOD is comprised of two individuals, one of whom is also our executive officer. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committee of our Board. If we expand our Board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our Board. It is possible that if our BOD included independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurance that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, at present in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages or employment contracts to our senior officers are made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. However, as a general rule, the Board, in making its decisions, determines first that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us that those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. The Company executes the transaction between executive officers and the Company once it was approved by the BOD. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Landbond Home Limited, our largest shareholder, will have control over key decision making as a result of its control of a substantial amount of our voting stock.
As of December 24, 2025, Landbond Home Limited ("Landbond"), and its sole director and beneficial owner, Mr. Yong Zhang, directly and indirectly owns 4,209,373 shares, or 31.7%, of our outstanding common stock. Landbond's beneficial ownership of 31.7% of our issued and outstanding common stock gives it significant influence to the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval in the future, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets. This concentrated ownership could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets that other shareholders support, or conversely this concentrated control could result in the consummation of such a transaction that other shareholders do not support. This concentrated ownership could also discourage a potential investor from acquiring our common stock, due to the limited voting power of such shares. As a shareholder, even a major shareholder, Landbond is entitled to vote its shares in its own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our shareholders generally.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The Company is subject to the 15(d) reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which does not require a company to file all the same reports and information as fully reporting company.
Pursuant to Section 15(d), we are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K. That filing obligation will generally apply even if our reporting obligations have been suspended automatically under section 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the due date for the Form 10-K. On the first day of any fiscal year after fiscal year 2016 and provided the Company has fewer than 300 shareholders, the Company is not required to file these reports. If the reports are not filed, the investors will have reduced visibility as to the Company and its financial condition. In addition, as a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company is not required to prepare proxy or information statements; our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the going private regulations; the company will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules; our officers, directors, and more than ten percent shareholders are not required to file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings in our company; that these persons will not be subject to the short-swing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act; and that more than five percent holders of classes of your equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5There is a very limited public market for our common stock and therefore, our investors may not be able to sell their shares.
Our common stock is listed on the over-the-counter exchange, and is thinly traded. As a result, shareholders may be unable to liquidate their investments, or may encounter considerable delay in selling shares of our common stock. If an active trading market does develop, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile due to, among other things, the nature of our business and because we are a public company with a limited operating history. Further, even if a public market develops, the volume of trading in our common stock will presumably be limited and likely be dominated by a few individual shareholders. The limited volume, if any, will make the price of our common stock subject to manipulation by one or more shareholders and will significantly limit the number of shares that one can purchase or sell in a short period of time. The market price of our common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control: - variations in our quarterly operating results;- changes in general economic conditions;- price competition or pricing changes by us or our competitors;- new services offerings or other actions by our competitors;- loss of a major customer, partner or joint venture participant; and - the addition or loss of key managerial and collaborative personnel. The equity markets have, on occasion, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for many companies' securities and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Our common stock was accepted for quotation on the OTCQB, as a result, the application of the "Penny Stock" rules could adversely affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares. The SEC has Rule 3A51-1, which establishes the definition of a "Penny Stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has market price of less than $5.00 per share or within an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15G-9 require:
- that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and - the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: - obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and - make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: - sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and - that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. ITEM 1C – CYBERSECURITY As a smaller reporting company with limited business, we currently do not have formalized cybersecurity measures, a dedicated cybersecurity team or specific protocols in place to manage cybersecurity risks. As of the date of this report, we have not adopted an incident response plan as our only access to internet is the use of email account by large websites such as google and yahoo. Our business is managed by only one person, Mr. Umesh Patel, our Chief Executive Office, Chief Financial Officer and director and he is the person oversea our cybersecurity as well. We have a small board with three members including Mr. Patel, who will report and discuss the updates on cybersecurity matters, including material risks and threats to other two non-executive directors of the board. Given our current stage of cybersecurity development, we have not experienced any significant cybersecurity incidents to date. However, we recognize that the absence of a formalized cybersecurity framework may leave us vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents. Such events could potentially lead to unauthorized access to, or disclosure of business information, result in litigation costs and negatively impact our reputation among customers and partners. As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition and that are required to be reported in this report. For further discussion of the risks associated with cybersecurity incidents, see the cybersecurity risk factors in Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report.
