Fuse Science, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2013 Financial Results

MIAMI LAKES, FL--(Marketwired - January 22, 2014) - Fuse Science, Inc. (OTCQB: DROP) (www.fusescience.com, the “Company”), a consumer products and delivery technology company that is developing new, patent-pending technologies working to redefine how consumers receive energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals announced today announced its financial results for its fiscal year 2013 ending September 30, 2013.

“2013 proved to be a challenging cleanup year as the Company strived for the required capital to execute against its business plan and to continue its growth,” stated Brian Tuffin, CEO of Fuse Science. “Unforeseen delays in the commercial efforts by leading retailers shifted revenue growth from the calendar fourth quarter 2013 to the calendar first quarter 2014, while at the same time creating significant strain on cash flow making it difficult for the Company to execute its business plan, including our marketing and advertising initiatives.”

“Dramatic cost reductions and essential financing efforts were deployed to ensure the solvency and continued functionality of the business. The Company has been in a constant battle for working capital and we survived a very demanding year in 2013. However, in spite of these resource constraints, we did successfully establish critical points of national distribution and strategic partnerships that have created what we believe to be a solid foundation for growth in 2014 and beyond,” added Tuffin.

“As we look ahead, additional working capital is essential to our forward strategy and we will require an increased share authorization by shareholders as well as a reverse split authorization to fully execute. These decisions are supported with confidence by the Company in facilitating the continued growth of the business, which is evidenced by the previously announced revenue results for our 2014 first quarter, ending December 31, 2013, in which we exceeded the net sales of fiscal year 2013. We remain confident in our strategy and the path forward with the anticipation of strategic announcements in the near future,” concluded, Tuffin.
