FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this report may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” and any risks described in any other filings we make with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

Part I. 

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

 

The Company was incorporated on April 27, 1998, in the state of Delaware under the name “Diversified American Holdings, Inc.” The Company subsequently changed its name to “Cemtrex Inc.” on December 16, 2004. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Cemtrex” or “management” refer to Cemtrex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Cemtrex is a leading diversified technology company that operates in a wide array of business segments and provides solutions to meet today’s industrial and manufacturing challenges. The Company provides electronic manufacturing services of advanced electric system assemblies, provides instruments & emission monitors for industrial processes, and provides industrial air filtration & environmental control systems.

 

On October 31, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of the privately held ROB Group, a leader in electronics manufacturing solutions located in Neulingen, Germany. The ROB Group, founded in 1989, consisted of 4 distinct operating companies, forming a complete electronics design, manufacturing, assembly, and cabling solutions provider that serves the electronics and cabling needs of some of the largest companies in the world in the Medical, Automation, Industrial, and Renewable Energy industries. ROB Group also has a manufacturing facility in Sibiu, Romania. The ROB Group was restructured under ROB Cemtrex GmbH and now operates as a subsidiary of Cemtrex, Inc. (see NOTE 11).

 

Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS)

 

Cemtrex, through its Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) group, provides end to end electronic manufacturing services, which includes product design and sustaining engineering services, printed circuit board assembly and production, cabling and wire harnessing, systems integration, comprehensive testing services and completely assembled electronic products.

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Cemtrex’s EMS group works with industry leading OEMs in their outsourcing of non-core manufacturing services by forming a long term relationship as an electronics manufacturing partner. We work in close relationships with our customers throughout the entire electronic life of a product, from design, manufacturing, and distribution. We seek to grow our business through the addition of new, high quality customers, the expansion of our share of business with existing customers, and participating in the growth of existing customers. 

 

Using our manufacturing capabilities, we are able to provide our customers with advanced product assembly and system level integration combined with test services to meet the highest standards of quality. Through our agile manufacturing environment we can deliver low and medium volume and mix services to our clients. Additionally we design, develop, and manufacture various interconnects and cable assemblies that often are sold in conjunction with our PCBAs to enhance our value to our customers. The Company also provides engineering services from new product introductions and prototyping, related testing equipment, to product redesigns.

 

Our ability to attract and retain new customers comes from our ongoing commitment to understanding our customers’ business performance requirements and our expertise in meeting or exceeding these requirements and enhancing their competitive edge. We work closely with our customers from an operational and senior executive level in order to achieve a deep understanding of our customer’s goals, challenges, strategies, operations, and products to ultimately build a long lasting successful relationship.

 

Environmental Products & Systems (EPS)

 

Cemtrex, through its Environmental Products and Systems group, sells a complete line of air filtration and environmental control products to a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing industries worldwide. The group also manufactures, sells, and services monitoring instruments, software and systems for measurement of emissions of Greenhouse gases, hazardous gases, particulate and other regulated pollutants used in emissions trading globally as well as for industrial processes. The Company also markets monitoring and analysis equipment for gas and liquid measurement for various downstream oil & gas applications as well as various industrial process applications.

 

The Company, under the Griffin Filters brand, provides a complete line of air filtration and environmental control equipment to industries such as: chemical, cement, steel, food, construction, mining, & petrochemical. This equipment is used to: (i) remove dust, corrosive fumes, mists, hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, submicron particles and particulate from industrial exhausts and boilers; (ii) clean noxious and acid gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, chlorides, and organics from industrial exhaust stacks prior to discharging to the atmosphere; and (iii) control emissions of coal, dust, sawdust, phosphates, fly ash, cement, carbon black, soda ash, silica, etc. from construction facilities, mining operations and dryer exhausts.

 

Company through its Monitoring Instruments and Products (MIP) group manufactures and sells advanced instruments for emissions monitoring, process analysis, and controls for industrial applications and compliance with environmental regulations. MIP emission monitoring systems are installed at the exhaust stacks of industrial facilities and are used to measure the outlet flue gas concentrations of a range of regulated air pollutants to determine the quality of the air we breathe. Through use of the company’s equipment and instrumentation, Cemtrex clients can monitor the exhausts to the atmosphere from their facilities and comply with Environmental Protection Agency and state and local emission regulations on dust, particulate, fumes, acid gases and other regulated pollutants into the atmosphere.

 

MIP’s Laser Opacity monitor is used to determine opacity or dust concentration in stack gases. Cemtrex also provides direct-extractive and dilution-extractive CEMS (continuous emissions monitoring solutions) equipment and systems for use with utilities, industrial boilers, FGD systems, SCR-NOx control, furnaces, gas turbines, process heaters, incinerators in industries such as: chemicals, pulp and paper, steel, power, coal and petrochemical along with municipalities, state and federal governments. The Company provides a single source responsibility for design, engineering, assembly, installation and maintenance of systems to its customers. The Company’s products are designed to operate so as to allow its users to determine their compliance with the latest governmental emissions regulations.

 

Cemtrex’s MIP division also markets a range of crude oil and natural gas analyzers. These products provide real time measurement of various properties specific to the refining processes of oil and gas. Some of the properties include RON, salt and water content, pH, viscosity, and other critical parameters that can be used to improve the blending and refining processes. The analyzers are sold by refineries and similar facilities to optimize the yield of blended and refined product.

SUPPLIERS

 

The Company is not dependent on, nor expects to become dependent on, any one or a limited number of suppliers. The Company buys parts and components to assemble and manufacture its equipment and products. The Company also utilizes sub-suppliers and third party vendors to procure from or fabricate its components based on its design, engineering and specifications. The Company also enters into subcontracts for field installation, which the Company supervises; and the Company manages all technical, physical and commercial aspects of the performance of the Company contracts. To date, the Company has not experienced difficulties either in obtaining fabricated components and other materials and parts or in obtaining qualified subcontractors for installation work.

 

PARTS, REPAIR AND REFURBISHMENT SERVICES

 

The Company also provides replacement and spare parts and repair and refurbishment services for all its systems following the expiration of the warranties which generally range up to 12 months. The Company has experienced only minimal costs from its warranties.

 

The Company’s standard terms of sale disclaim any liability for consequential or indirect losses or damages stemming from any failure of its products or systems or any component thereof. The Company seeks indemnification from its subcontractors for any loss, damage or claim arising from the subcontractors’ failure to perform.

 

COMPETITION

 

The Company faces substantial competition in each of its principal markets. Most of its competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than the Company; several are divisions of multi-national companies. The Company competes on the basis of price, engineering and technological expertise, know-how and the quality of its products, systems and services. Additionally, the Company’s management believes that the successful delivery, installation and performance of the Company’s products and systems is a key factor in gaining business as customers typically prefer to make significant purchases from a company with a solid performance history.

 

The Company obtains virtually all its contracts through competitive bidding. Although price is an important factor and may in some cases be the governing factor, it is not always determinative, and contracts are often awarded on the basis of the efficiency or reliability of products and the engineering and technical expertise of the bidder. Several companies market products that compete directly with Company’s products. Other companies offer products that potential customers may consider to be acceptable alternatives to Company’s products and services. The Company faces direct competition from companies with far greater financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources.

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Over the years, the Company has developed proprietary technologies that gives it an edge in competing with its competitors. Thus, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets and know-how to protect its intellectual property.

 

MARKETING

 

The Company sells its products globally and relies on direct sales force, manufacturing representatives, distributors, commission sales agents, magazine advertisements, internet advertising, trade shows, trade directories and catalogue listings to market its products and services. The Company uses independent sales representatives in the United States backed by its sales management and technical professionals. The Company’s arrangements with independent sales representatives accord each a defined territory within which to sell some or all of its products and systems, provide for the payment of agreed-upon sales commissions and are terminable at will. The Company’s sales representatives do not have authority to execute contracts on the Company’s behalf.

 

5  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

The Company’s sales representatives also serve as ongoing liaison function between Company and its customers during the installation phase of the products and systems and address customers’ questions or concerns arising thereafter. The Company selects representatives based upon industry reputation, prior sales performance including number of prospective leads generated and sales closure rates, and the breadth of territorial coverage, among other criteria.

 

Technical inquiries received from potential customers are referred to the engineering personnel. Thereafter, the Company’s sales and engineering personnel jointly prepare a budget proposal, or a final bid. The period between initial customer contact and issuance of an order is generally between two and twelve months.

 

CUSTOMERS

 

The Company’s principal customers are engaged in automotive, medical, industrial automation, refining, power, chemical, mining, and metallurgical processing. Historically, most of the customers have purchased individual products or systems which, in many instances, operate in conjunction with products and systems supplied by others. For several years, the Company has marketed its products as integrated custom engineered systems and solutions. No one single customer accounts for more than 10% of its annual sales.

 

For the EPS group, the Company is responsible to its customers for all phases of the design, assembly, supply and, if included, field installation of its products and systems. The successful completion of a project is generally determined by a successful operational test of the supplied equipment conducted by our field service technician in the presence of the customer.

 

For the EMS group, the company is responsible for the production, supply, and delivery of products to its customers. In order to satisfy customer orders, the Company must consistently meet production deadlines and maintain a high standard of quality.

 

INSURANCE

 

The Company currently maintains different types of insurance, including general liability and property coverage. The Company also maintains product liability insurance with respect to its products and equipment. Management believes that the insurance coverage that it has is adequate for its current business needs.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

The Company employs approximately 244 people as of December 11, 2015, including 35 engaged in engineering, 160 in manufacturing and 49 in administrative and marketing functions.

 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 

The Company’s operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to, among others, environmental, waste management, labor and health and safety matters. Management believes that the Company’s business is operated in material compliance with all such regulations.

 

Management believes that the existence of governmental regulations creates demand for Company’s emission monitoring equipment and environmental control systems. Significant environmental laws, particularly the Federal Clean Air Act, have been enacted in response to public concern about the environment. The Company believes that compliance with and enforcement of these laws and regulations create the demand for its environmental control related products and systems. The Federal Clean Air Act, initially adopted in 1970 and extensively amended in 1990, requires compliance with ambient air quality standards and empowers the EPA to establish and enforce limits on the emission of various pollutants from specific types of industrial facilities. States have primary responsibility for implementing these standards, and, in some cases, have adopted more stringent standards.

 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this report, including the consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this annual report on Form 10-K/A, with respect to any investment in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of the date of this report (unless another date is indicated) and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the statements in light of future development.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We are substantially dependent upon the success and market acceptance of our technology.

 

The failure of the emissions monitoring and controls market to develop as we anticipate, would adversely affect our environmental control products business.

 

The Company’s success is largely dependent on increased market acceptance of our emission monitoring equipment and control systems.

 

If acceptance of emissions monitoring equipment does not continue to grow, then the Company’s revenues may be significantly reduced.

 

The Company’s ability to secure and maintain sufficient credit arrangements is key to its continued operations.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements and other finance agreements in the future. In the event the business grows rapidly, the uncertain economic climate continues or the Company considers another acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all in the future.

 

Adverse changes in the economy or political conditions could negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Company’s sales and gross margins depend significantly on market demand for its customers’ products. The uncertainty in the U.S. and international economic and political environment could result in a decline in demand for our customers’ products in any industry. Further, any adverse changes in tax rates and laws affecting our customers could result in decreasing gross margins. Any of these factors could negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Most of the Company’s customers do not commit to long-term production schedules, which makes it difficult to schedule production and achieve maximum efficiency at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and to manage inventory levels.

 

The volume and timing of sales to the Company’s customers may vary due to:

 

(i) customers’ attempts to manage their inventory
(ii) variation in demand for the Company’s customers’ products design changes, or
(iii) acquisitions of or consolidation among customers

 

Many of the Company’s customers do not commit to firm production schedules. The Company’s inability to forecast the level of customer orders with certainty can make it difficult to schedule production and maximize utilization of manufacturing capacity and manage inventory levels. The Company could be required to increase or decrease staffing and more closely manage other expenses in order to meet the anticipated demand of its customers. Orders from the Company’s customers could be cancelled or delivery schedules could be deferred as a result of changes in its customers’ demand, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s results of operations, and resulting in higher inventory levels.

 

7  

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

The Company’s customers have competitive challenges, including rapid technological changes, pricing pressure and decreasing demand from their customers, which could adversely affect their business and the Company’s.

 

Factors affecting the industries that utilize our customers’ products could negatively impact our customers and the Company. These factors include:

 

(i) increased competition among our customers and their competitors

 

(ii) the inability of our customers to develop and market their products

 

(iii) recessionary periods in our customers’ markets

 

(iv) the potential that our customers’ products become obsolete

 

(v) our customers’ inability to react to rapidly changing technology

 

(vi) pay for our products, which could, in turn, affect the Company’s results of operations.

 

If we are unable to develop new products, our competitors may develop and market products with better features that may reduce demand for our potential products.

 

The Company may not be able to introduce any new products or any enhancements to its existing products on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, the introduction by the Company of any new products could adversely affect the sales of certain of its existing products. If the Company’s competitors develop innovative emissions testing technology that are superior to the Company’s products or if the Company fails to accurately anticipate market trends and respond on a timely basis with its own innovations, the Company may not achieve sufficient growth in its revenues to attain profitability.

 

Even though we have a profit for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, and we may not incur profit for the foreseeable future.

 

We continue to incur significant expenditures related to selling and marketing and general and administrative activities as well as capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses may increase in the foreseeable future as we expand our business. Further, as a public company we will also incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we may not incur as a private company. To maintain profitability, we will need to generate significant additional revenues with significantly improved gross margins. It is uncertain whether we will be able to maintain our profitability.

 

The Company faces constant changes in governmental standards by which our environmental control products are evaluated.

 

The Company believes that, due to the constant focus on the environment and clean air standards throughout the world, a requirement in the future to adhere to new and more stringent regulations both domestically and abroad is possible as governmental agencies seek to improve standards required for certification of products intended to promote clean air. In the event our products fail to meet these ever-changing standards, some or all of our environmental control products may become obsolete.

 

The future growth of our environmental control business depends, in part, on enforcement of existing emissions-related environmental regulations and further tightening of emission standards worldwide.

 

The Company expects that the future environmental control products business growth will be driven, in part, by the enforcement of existing emissions-related environmental regulations and tightening of emissions standards worldwide. If such standards do not continue to become stricter or are loosened or are not enforced by governmental authorities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects.

 

8  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

We may incur substantial costs enforcing our proprietary information, defending against third-party patents, invalidating third-party patents or licensing third-party intellectual property, as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights.

 

The Company considers its technology and procedures proprietary. In particular, the Company depends substantially on its flexibility to develop custom engineered solutions for various applications and be responsive to customer needs.

 

The Company may be notified of claims that it has infringed a third party’s intellectual property. Even if such claims are not valid, they could subject the Company to significant costs. In addition, it may be necessary in the future to enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation may also be necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. An adverse outcome in litigation or any similar proceedings could force the Company to take actions that could harm its business. These include: (i) ceasing to sell products that contain allegedly infringing property; (ii) obtaining licenses to the relevant intellectual property which the Company may not be able to obtain on terms that are acceptable, or at all; (iii) indemnifying certain customers or strategic partners if it is determined that the Company has infringed upon or misappropriated another party’s intellectual property; and (iv) redesigning products that embody allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any of these results could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost of defending or asserting any intellectual property claim, both in legal fees and expenses, and the diversion of management resources, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be significant.

 

Product defects could cause the Company to incur significant product liability, warranty, repair and support costs and damage its reputation which would have a material adverse effect on its business.

 

Although the Company rigorously tests its products, defects may be discovered in future or existing products. These defects could cause the Company to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs and divert the attention of its research and development personnel. It could also significantly damage the Company’s reputation and relationship with its distributors and customers which would adversely affect its business. In addition, such defects could result in personal injury or financial or other damages to customers who may seek damages with respect to such losses. A product liability claim against the Company, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do.

 

There is significant competition among companies that provide emissions monitoring systems. Several companies market products that compete directly with our products. Other companies offer products that potential customers may consider to be acceptable alternatives to our products and services. We face direct competition from companies with far greater financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources.

 

The Company’s results may fluctuate due to certain regulatory, marketing and competitive factors over which we have little or no control.

 

The factors listed below, some of which we cannot control, may cause our revenue and results of operations to fluctuate significantly:

 

(i) The existence and enforcement of government environmental regulations. If these regulations are not maintained or enforced then the market for Company’s products could deteriorate;

 

(ii) Retaining and keeping qualified employees and management personnel;

 

(iii) Ability to upgrade our products to keep up with the changing market place requirements; Ability to keep up with our competitors who have much higher resources than us;

 

9  

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

(iv) Ability to find sub-suppliers and sub-contractors to assemble and install our products;

 

(v) General economic conditions of the industry and the ability of potential customers to spend money on setting up new industries that require our products;

 

(vi) Ability to maintain or raise adequate working capital required for the operations and future growth; and

 

(vii) Ability to retain our CEO and other senior key personnel.

 

The loss of our senior management and failure to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting a slower rate of growth.

 

We depend on the continued service of our senior management. Due to the nature of our business, we may have difficulty locating and hiring qualified personnel and retaining such personnel once hired. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy resulting in a slower rate of growth.

 

General economic downturns in general would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

 

The Company’s operations may in the future experience substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of general economic conditions affecting consumer spending. Therefore, any economic downturns in general would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

 

A significant portion of our business is conducted internationally. Consequently, we are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including the following:

 

(i) compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

 

(ii) compliance with the anti-corruption laws of other jurisdictions in which we operate;

 

(iii) contract award and funding delays;

 

(iv) potential restrictions on transfers of funds;

 

(v) foreign currency fluctuations;

 

(vi) import and export duties and value added taxes;

 

(vii) uncertainties arising from foreign local business practices and cultural considerations; and

 

(viii) potential military conflicts, civil strife and political risks.

 

Our growth strategy includes acquisitions of other businesses.

 

The Company may incur costs and liabilities or experience other unexpected consequences which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. In addition to internal or organic growth, our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions of complementary businesses, as well as growth from acquisitions that would diversify our current product offerings. Like other companies with similar growth strategies, we may be unable to successfully implement our growth strategy, as we may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates, obtain acceptable financing, or consummate any future acquisitions. We frequently engage in evaluations of potential acquisitions and negotiations for possible acquisitions, certain of which, if consummated, could significantly enhance the Company’s competitive position. Although it is our general objective only to acquire those companies which will be accretive to both earnings and cash flow, any potential acquisitions may result in material transaction expenses, increased interest and amortization expense, increased depreciation expense and increased operating expense, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Acquisitions will require integration and management of the acquired businesses to realize economies of scale and control costs. In addition, acquisitions may involve other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for ongoing development of our business and risks associated with entering new markets. Future acquisitions may also result in potential dilution of the Company’s securities. Consummation of acquisitions may subject the Company to unanticipated business uncertainties or legal liabilities relating to those acquired businesses for which the sellers of the acquired businesses may not fully indemnify us.

The Company’s Common Stock currently trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “CETX”. There can be no assurance that the Company’s shares will continue to trade on NASDAQ in the future, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. The market price of the shares of Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new products or new contracts by the Company or its competitors, developments with respect to proprietary rights, adoption of new government regulations affecting the environment, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market price for the common stocks of technology companies. These types of broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

 

Our common stock has from time to time been “thinly-traded.”

 

The number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. Therefore, stockholders may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if they need to sell shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares. Our “thinly-traded” stock is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give stockholders any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

 

We do not anticipate paying any dividends.

 

No dividends have been paid on the common stock of the Company. The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future, and anticipates that profits, if any, received from operations will be devoted to the Company’s future operations. Any decision to pay dividends will depend upon the Company’s profitability at the time, cash available and other relevant factors.

 

Our principal shareholder has significant influence over our Company which could make it impossible for the public stockholders to influence the affairs of the Company.

 

We are a “Controlled Company” under exchange listing rules. Approximately 60.0% of our outstanding voting equity is beneficially held by combination of Aron Govil, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, and Saagar Govil the Company’s CEO, as a result of this common stock ownership and the Series A preferred stock ownership by Mr. Aron Govil, the Company’s management controls and will control in the future, substantially all matters requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company, including the election of all directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This makes it impossible for the public stockholders to influence the affairs of the Company.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

The Company’s Common Stock currently trades on the NASDAQ Capital Markets under the symbol “CETX”.

 

As of December 11, 2015, there were approximately 818 holders of record of the Company’s common stock as determined from the Company’s transfer agent’s list. Such list also includes beneficial owners of securities whose shares are held in the names of various dealers and clearing agencies .

 

The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. On December 11, 2015, there were 7,585,267 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock issued or outstanding.

 

On April 3, 2015 Cemtrex, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a Shareholder Resolution to permit the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to file a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter Amendment”), to effect a 1-for-6 reverse split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

On April 6, 2015, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, every six outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock combined automatically into one share of common stock. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership in the Company and proportional voting power remains unchanged after the Reverse Stock Split, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.

 

On April 14, 2015, the Company announced that it had effected the Reverse Stock Split and that trading in its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on a split-adjusted basis would begin on the morning of April 15, 2015.

 

On June 25, 2015 the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Markets under the symbol “CETX”. Prior to June 25, 2015 the Company’s Common Stock traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board trading system. The price ranges presented below represent the highest and lowest quoted bid prices during the calendar quarters for 2013, 2014 and 2015 reported by the exchange and converted based on the one-for-six reverse stock split. The quotes represent prices between dealers and do not reflect mark-ups, markdowns or commissions and therefore may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities during the periods reported. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as revenues, allowances for returns, early payment discounts, customer discounts, doubtful accounts, employee compensation programs, depreciation and amortization periods, taxes, inventory values, and valuations of investments, goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries.

 

We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We write down inventory balances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

 

Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company examined goodwill for impairment and determined that the Company’s carrying amount did not exceed the fair value, thus, there was no impairment.

 

Generally, sales are recognized when shipments are made to customers. Rebates, allowances for damaged goods and other advertising and marketing program rebates are accrued pursuant to contractual provisions and included in accrued expenses. Certain amount of our revenues fall under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting used for long-term contracts. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Sales and gross profit are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified.

 

In countries in which the Company operates, and the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using published exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses and cash flows are translated using an approximate weighted average exchange rate for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Results of Operations - For the fiscal years ending September 30, 2015 and 2014  

 

Total revenue for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $56,887,389 and $47,653,114, respectively, an increase of $9,234,275, or 19%. Net income for years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,838,116 and $2,668,886, respectively, an increase of $169,230, or 6%. Net income in this period as compared to the previous one was higher as a result of higher overall sales. Environmental products and systems revenues increased by $13,979,513 during fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 primarily due to increased orders received by the Company from Southeast Asian markets. Electronics manufacturing services revenues decreased by $4,745,238 during fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 primarily due to the drop in the currency exchange rate between US Dollar and the Euro.

 

15  

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Gross Profit for the year ended September 30, 2015 was $16,322,570 or 29% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $15,595,268 or 33% of revenues for the year ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in gross profit percentage in the year ended September 30, 2015 was a direct result of lower profit margin projects executed during this period as compared to the prior year. The higher dollar amount of gross profit during fiscal 2015 was due to higher overall revenue. 

 

Operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2015 increased $1,239,474 or 10% to $13,821,546 from $12,582,072 for the year ended September 30, 2014. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased in the year ended September 30, 2015 to 24% from 26% in the year ended September 30, 2014. The increases in operating expenses were primarily due to an increase in Company’s overall revenue and acquisition related expenses incurred by the Company during fiscal year 2015.

 

Other Income/(Expense)

 

Interest and other income/(expense) for the fiscal year of 2015 was $338,009 as compared to $(283,348) for the fiscal year of 2014. The change to income was due primarily to forgiveness of third party debt to ROB Systems.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

During the fiscal year of 2015 we recorded an income tax provision of $917 compared to $60,962 for the fiscal year of 2014. The provision for income tax is based upon the projected income tax from the Company’s various international subsidiaries that are subject to foreign income taxes.

 

  Net Income

 

The Company had net income of $2,838,116 or 5% of revenues, for the year ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net income of $2,668,886 or 6% of revenues, for the year ended September 30, 2014. Net income for the year increased, as compared to net income for last year, due to higher overall sales of environmental equipment. The net income percentage in the period as compared to the previous one was lower as a result of lower sales in electronic manufacturing.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

The Company’s business and operations have not been materially affected by inflation during the periods for which financial information is presented.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

   Working capital was $4,693,904 at September 30, 2015 compared to $5,276,633 at September 30, 2014. This includes cash and cash equivalent of $1,486,737 at September 30, 2015 and $146,095 at September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable attributed to higher overall sales of environmental equipment and the issuance of convertible notes payable.

 

Accounts receivable increased $732,704 or 18% to $4,771,044 at September 30, 2015 from $4,038,340 at September 30, 2014. The increased in accounts receivables is attributable to timing of shipments and collection of accounts receivable.

 

Inventories increased $99,189 or 2% to $6,369,516 at September 30, 2015 from $6,270,327 at September 30, 2014. The increase in inventories was primarily due to purchase of additional raw materials for production .

 

Operating activities provided $4,035,463 for the year ended September 30, 2015 compared to using $2,342,264 of cash for the year ended September 30, 2014. The increase in operating cash flows in fiscal 2015 was primarily due to profitable operations.

 

16  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Investment activities used $956,046 of cash during the year ended September 30, 2015 compared to using $9,289,242 during the year ended September 30, 2014. The use of cash by investing activities in fiscal 2015 was the result of the purchase of property and equipment, offset by the redemption of short-term investments.

 

Financing activities used $1,738,775 for the year ended September 30, 2015 as compared to providing $11,710,638 in the year ended September 30, 2014. Cash flows from financing activities during fiscal 2015 was the result of payments on affiliated party and bank loans offset by proceeds from convertible notes.

  

We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operations, is sufficient to meet the capital demands of our current operations during the 2016 fiscal year (ending September 30, 2016). Any major increases in sales, particularly in new products, may require substantial capital investment. Failure to obtain sufficient capital could materially adversely impact our growth potential.

 

In the event that we raise significant external capital from the issuance of our common stock, preferred stock, or any one or more debt instruments, we remain subject to the uncertainties and the volatility of the capital markets over which we have no control. In all of these transactions we may be forced to raise capital on adverse terms or terms that are not reasonable in light of current market conditions. As a result, persons who acquire our common stock may incur immediate and substantial dilution and, in the case of our issuance of preferred stock or any debt instrument, we may issue preferred stock with rights and privileges that adversely impact common stockholder rights, and, in the case of the issuance of any debt instrument, the affirmative and negative covenants that we may be required to accept, could adversely impact our financial and operating flexibility with consequent adverse impact on the rights of our common stockholders and our common stock market price.

 

Overall, there is no guarantee that cash flow from our existing or future operations and any external capital that we may be able to raise will be sufficient to meet our expansion goals and working capital needs.

 

Outlook

 

We anticipate that the outlook for our products and services remains fairly strong and we are positioned well to take advantage of it.

 

We believe there is currently a gradually increasing public awareness of the issues surrounding air quality and that this trend will continue for the next several years. We also believe there is an increase in public concern regarding the effects of air quality on society and future generations, as well as an increase in interest by standards-making bodies in creating specifications and techniques for detecting, defining and solving air quality problems. As a result, we believe there will be an increase in interest in our emission monitors, and environmental control products of subsidiary Griffin Filters.

 

This Outlook section, and other portions of this document, include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, among others, those statements preceded by, following or including the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the current expectations of management and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors as well as:

 

o the shortage of reliable market data regarding the emission monitoring & air filtration market;

 

o changes in external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations;

 

o anticipated working capital or other cash requirements;

 

o changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the market;

 

17  

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

o product obsolescence due to the development of new technologies; and

 

o Various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace.

 

o In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K/A will in fact occur.

The financial statements required to be included in this report appear as indexed in the appendix to this report beginning on page F-1.

 

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

There have been no changes in and/or disagreements with Bharat Parikh & Associates, our independent registered public accountants, on accounting and financial disclosure matters.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.

 

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost- benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Management evaluates the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework). Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015, and concluded that it is effective.

 

This report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

18  

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

As of September 30, 2015, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. The Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cemtrex, Inc.

 

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Cemtrex, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Fiscal Year-End

 

The Company elected September 30 as its fiscal year-end date.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

F- 7  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).

 

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

i. Allowance for doubtful accounts : Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical sales, historical loss levels, and an analysis of the collectability of individual accounts; and general economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay. The Company evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole;
ii. Inventory Obsolescence and Markdowns : The Company’s estimate of potentially excess and slow-moving inventories is based on evaluation of inventory levels and aging, review of inventory turns and historical sales experiences. The Company’s estimate of reserve for inventory shrinkage is based on the historical results of physical inventory cycle counts;
iii. Fair value of long-lived assets : Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review:
i. significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
ii. significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy;
iii. significant negative industry or economic trends;
iv. increased competitive pressures;
v. a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and
vi. regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
iv. Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry- forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

 

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8 the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.

 

The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:

 

Name of consolidated   State or other jurisdiction of   Date of incorporation or   Attributable  
subsidiary or entity   incorporation or organization   formation (date of acquisition, if applicable)   interest  
                 
Griffin Filters, LLC   New York   September 6,2005 (April 30,2007)     100 %
ROB Cemtrex GmbH   Germany   August 15, 2013 (October 31, 2013)     100 %
Cemtrex Ltd   Hong Kong   September 4, 2013     100 %
ROB Systems, Srl.   Romania   November 1, 2013     100 %
Cemtrex India (Pvt) Ltd.   India   April 10, 2009     100 %

 

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of the reporting period end dates and for the reporting periods then ended.

 

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1 - Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2 - Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3 - Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

F- 9  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets or Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

 

The Company’s non-financial assets include inventories. The Company identifies potentially excess and slow-moving inventories by evaluating turn rates, inventory levels and other factors. Excess quantities are identified through evaluation of inventory aging, review of inventory turns and historical sales experiences. The Company provides lower of cost or market reserves for such identified excess and slow- moving inventories. The Company establishes a reserve for inventory shrinkage, if any, based on the historical results of physical inventory cycle counts.

 

Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company has adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. When long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.

 

The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

 

The key assumptions used in management’s estimates of projected cash flow deal largely with forecasts of sales levels, gross margins, and operating costs of the manufacturing facilities. These forecasts are typically based on historical trends and take into account recent developments as well as management’s plans and intentions. Any difficulty in manufacturing or sourcing raw materials on a cost effective basis would significantly impact the projected future cash flows of the Company’s manufacturing facilities and potentially lead to an impairment charge for long-lived assets. Other factors, such as increased competition or a decrease in the desirability of the Company’s products, could lead to lower projected sales levels, which would adversely impact cash flows. A significant change in cash flows in the future could result in an impairment of long lived assets.

The impairment charges, if any, is included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Short-term Investments

 

The Company’s short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months. They are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near-term and are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in current assets, with the change in fair value during the year recorded in earnings.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company follows paragraph 310-10-50-9 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and general economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay.

 

Pursuant to paragraph 310-10-50-2 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company has adopted paragraph 310-10-50-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and determine when receivables are past due or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.

 

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any.

 

The Company has $65,002 and $68,101 allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers at September 30, 2015 or 2014.

 

Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Inventory Valuation

 

The Company values inventory, consisting of finished goods, at the lower of cost or market . Cost is determined on the first-in and first- out (“FIFO”) method. The Company reduces inventory for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, and (iii) competitive pricing pressures.

 

Inventory Obsolescence and Markdowns

 

The Company evaluates its current level of inventory considering historical sales and other factors and, based on this evaluation, classify inventory markdowns in the income statement as a component of cost of goods sold pursuant to Paragraph 420-10-S99 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to adjust inventory to net realizable value. These markdowns are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations.

 

F- 11  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

There was $148,967 in inventory obsolescence at September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.

 

Leases

 

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether they are capital leases or operating leases in accordance with paragraph 840-10-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 840-10-25-1”). Pursuant to Paragraph 840-10-25-1 A lessee and a lessor shall consider whether a lease meets any of the following four criteria as part of classifying the lease at its inception under the guidance in the Lessees Subsection of this Section (for the lessee) and the Lessors Subsection of this Section (for the lessor): a. Transfer of ownership. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term . This criterion is met in situations in which the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title at or shortly after the end of the lease term in exchange for the payment of a nominal fee, for example, the minimum required by statutory regulation to transfer title. b. Bargain purchase option . The lease contains a bargain purchase option. c. Lease term. The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property. d. Minimum lease payments . The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor. In accordance with paragraphs 840-10- 25-29 and 840-10-25-30, if at its inception a lease meets any of the four lease classification criteria in Paragraph 840-10-25-1, the lease shall be classified by the lessee as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria in Paragraph 840-10-25-1 are met, the lease shall be classified by the lessee as an operating lease. Pursuant to Paragraph 840-10- 25-31 a lessee shall compute the present value of the minimum lease payments using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate unless both of the following conditions are met, in which circumstance the lessee shall use the implicit rate: a.) It is practicable for the lessee to learn the implicit rate computed by the lessor. b.) The implicit rate computed by the lessor is less than the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. Capital lease assets are depreciated on a straight line method, over the capital lease assets estimated useful lives consistent with the Company’s normal depreciation policy for tangible fixed assets. Interest charges are expensed over the period of the lease in relation to the carrying value of the capital lease obligation.

 

Operating leases primarily relate to the Company’s leases of office spaces. When the terms of an operating lease include tenant improvement allowances, periods of free rent, rent concessions, and/or rent escalation amounts, the Company establishes a deferred rent liability for the difference between the scheduled rent payment and the straight-line rent expense recognized, which is amortized over the underlying lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense.

 

The Company has adopted Subtopic 350-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for intangible assets other than goodwill. Under the requirements, the Company amortizes the acquisition costs of intangible assets other than goodwill on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, the terms of the exclusive licenses and/or agreements, or the terms of legal lives of the intangible assets , whichever is shorter . Upon becoming fully amortized, the related cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

F- 12  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved b. description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitment and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company derives its revenues from sales of its products, with revenues being generated upon the shipment of merchandise. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales invoice or contract; the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the signed purchase order or contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or volume incentive.

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with paragraph 605-45-45-19 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs are classified in cost of goods sold as incurred.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty (50) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants.

 

F- 14  

 

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

There were 67,569 and zero potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 or 2014, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency Translation Gain and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

In countries in which the Company operates, and the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using published exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses and cash flows are translated using an approximate weighted average exchange rate for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. For the years ending September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, comprehensive income includes losses of $177,329 and $156,559, respectively, which were entirely from foreign currency translation.

 

Cash Flows Reporting

 

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - “Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the presentation for debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the June 2015 EITF Meeting. ASU 2015-15 amends Subtopic 835-30 to include that the SEC would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, and must be applied on a retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

F- 15  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12, “Plan Accounting—Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962) Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965)”. There are three parts to the ASU that aim to simplify the accounting and presentation of plan accounting. Part I of this ASU requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be measured at contract value instead of the current fair value measurement. Part II of this ASU requires investments (both participant-directed and nonparticipant-directed investments) of employee benefit plans be grouped only by general type, eliminating the need to disaggregate the investments in multiple ways. Part III of this ASU provides a similar measurement date practical expedient for employee benefit plans as available in ASU No. 2015-04, which allows employers to measure defined benefit plan assets on a month-end date that is nearest to the year’s fiscal year-end when the fiscal period does not coincide with a month-end. Parts I and II of the new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis. Part III of the new guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which amends ASC 330, Inventory. This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by using only the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, and must be applied on a retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Under this ASU, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY

 

Our current strategic plan includes the expansion of the Company both organically and through acquisitions if market conditions and competitive conditions allow. Due to the long-term nature of investments in acquisitions and other financial needs to support organic growth, including working capital, we expect our long-term and working capital needs to periodically exceed the short-term fluctuations in cash flow from operations. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will likely raise additional external capital from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, and debt instruments as market conditions may allow in addition to cash flow from operations to fund our growth and working capital needs.

 

To the extent that our internally-generated cash flow is insufficient to meet our needs, we are subject to uncertain and ever-changing debt and equity capital market conditions over which we have no control. The magnitude and the timing of the funds that we need to raise from external sources also cannot be easily predicted.

 

In the event that we need to raise significant amounts of external capital at any time or over an extended period, we face a clear risk that we may need to do so under adverse capital market conditions with the result that persons who acquire our common stock may incur significant and immediate dilution should we raise capital from the sale of our common or preferred stock. Similarly, we may need to meet our external capital needs from the sale of secured or unsecured debt instruments at interest rates and with such other debt covenants and conditions as the market then requires. In all of these transactions we anticipate that we will likely need to raise significant amounts of additional external capital to support our growth. However, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to raise external capital on terms that are reasonable in light of current market conditions. In the event that we are not able to do so, persons who acquire our common stock may face significant and immediate dilution and other adverse consequences. Further, debt covenants contained in debt instruments that we issue may limit our financial and operating flexibility with consequent adverse impact on our common stock market price.

 

F- 16  

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

There is no guarantee that cash flow from operations and/or debt and equity vehicles will provide sufficient capital to meet our expansion goals and working capital needs.

 

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).  Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAX PROVISION

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, formerly referenced as SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement carrying values and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

CEMTREX, INC.

CORPORATE CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS

 

OVERVIEW

 

It is essential that the highest standards of conduct be observed in all contacts made by Company employees with customers, shareholders, suppliers, governmental officials, fellow employees and the general public. This Corporate Code of Business Ethics represents the Company’s position regarding several important areas of business conduct. This Code establishes the standards of conduct to be followed by all employees of the Company.

 

GENERAL POLICY

 

It is the policy of the Company to comply with all applicable laws, to act fairly, impartially, and in an ethical, proper manner. The highest standards of conduct are required of our employees and all other persons who act on our behalf, which includes contractors, consultants, etc. It is Company policy that all persons acting on its behalf comply with the legal requirements of the various countries, economies and regional communities in which the Company does business. Employees shall conduct the Company’s affairs in accordance with the highest moral and legal standards. The reputations of the Company and each employee of the Company for unquestioned honesty, integrity and fair dealing are priceless assets. These are assets that must not be compromised. Therefore, the guidelines set forth in the following areas apply uniformly to all persons representing each member of the entire Cemtrex, Inc. group of companies.

 

CODE OF CONDUCT

 

Cemtrex, Inc. is committed to promoting integrity and maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct in all of its business activities. Our business success is dependent on trusting relationships, built on this foundation of integrity. Our reputation is founded on the personal integrity of the company personnel and our dedication to:

 

· Honesty in communicating within the company and with our suppliers and customers, while at the same time protecting the company’s confidential information and trade secrets.
· Error free workmanship in our products and services, leading to quality products and services to our customers.
· Responsibility for our words and actions confirms our commitment to do what we say.
· Limitless respect for our fellow employees, shareholders, customers and suppliers while showing willingness to solicit their opinions and value their feedback.
· Earnest and fair dealings with our fellow employees, shareholders, customers and suppliers through adherence to all applicable laws, regulations and policies, and high standards of behavior.
· Yielding to the need for strong relationships with our employees and the communities affected by our businesses.

 

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

 

People are the cornerstone of our business. Our continued success depends largely on our ability to attract and develop a diverse work force of qualified men and women. Any employment or personnel practice that is unjust to any of our employees, however inadvertent, ultimately injures all of us. Integrity, fairness and respect for others are characteristics we accept as inherent in the Cemtrex culture. We simply cannot afford to deprive ourselves of capable people for reasons based on unlawful or unjust discrimination. Recognizing our continuing need to hire and develop qualified people, while basing our judgment on their abilities, we reaffirm our commitment to provide meaningful employment opportunities for men and women and, to fully support all principles of equal opportunity in employment.

 

Equal Employment Opportunity - it is the policy of Cemtrex to ensure equal treatment for all employees and applicants, regardless of their color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation or mental/physical capacity and to comply voluntarily with the concept and practice of affirmative action. This policy applies to all company activities including, but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, training, transfers, promotions and benefits.

 

 

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Non-Harassment and Sexual Harassment – it is company policy to provide a workplace free from tensions involving matters that do not relate to company’s business. In particular, an atmosphere of tension created by ethnic, racial, sexual or religious remarks, unwelcome sexual advances, or requests for sexual favors, will not be tolerated. Harassment of employees, applicants, customers, contractors or suppliers by other employees is a violation of company policy.

 

Employees who observe, learn of, or are subject to harassment, are responsible immediately to report the conduct to their supervisor, manager, human resource representative, or Mr. Sunny Patel , as the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors, for prompt investigation (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information). Investigations will be conducted in as discrete and confidential manner as is practicable.

 

The company will act promptly and vigorously to take corrective action and appropriate discipline with respect to any harassment or retaliation.

 

Retaliation against individuals who report such violations of company policy, or against those who provide information in an investigation of such violations, is a violation of company policy.

 

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

 

Each of the Company’s facilities will function as an integral part of the country, economy and regional community in which it conducts the Company’s business operations. Employees are encouraged to participate in community activities as concerned and responsible citizens. Both the Company and its employees benefit from any activity that improves the health, well-being, education and culture of the community. Together, they have a responsibility to support and share in the development of social and civic activities designed to improve the quality of life in each such community.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

 

Cemtrex, Inc. is firmly committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable environmental and workplace laws and regulations in a manner that has the highest regard for the safety and well-being of employees and the general public. Therefore, Cemtrex expects all employees to do their utmost to abide by the letter and spirit of these laws and regulations. The Company will comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s environmental concerns include the health and aesthetic needs of communities’ citizens. The Company will participate in the development of standards designed to conserve the quality of the environment. The exercise of personal discretion or judgment in this area is not acceptable.

 

SAFETY

 

The protection of the health of its employees and their safety from injury are fundamental objectives of the Company. These are moral responsibilities of each employee as well and the Company recognizes their importance to the success of the business. Therefore, the Company’s goal is to be a leader in safety and health in its industry. The Company will also provide its customers with products that meet high standards of safety and reliability. Accordingly, employees will strive to minimize the potential risk of injury or illness to others from goods and services furnished by the Company. A Company goal is to maintain a position of industry leadership in meeting these standards.

 

In order to protect the safety and well-being of all employees, each of us must report to work free from the influence of any substance that could prevent us from conducting work activities safely and effectively.

 

QUALITY

 

Cemtrex is committed to being a worldwide leader in quality for every product it provides in every market it serves. The Company is dedicated to continued improvement in its overall quality performance in every facet of its operations. The Company’s goal is to conform consistently to its customers’ expectations regarding its products and services. To maintain Cemtrex’s valuable reputation, compliance with our quality processes is essential. We damage our good name when we ship products or deliver services that fail to live up to Cemtrex standards.

 

 

 

  

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

 

Employees should conduct all of the business affairs of the Company at arm’s length without consideration of personal advantage or self-interest. It is contrary to Company policy for employees to accept or furnish gifts, favors or entertainment of a size or nature which might influence or raise doubts as to the impartiality of the recipient. Any questionable conduct or appearance thereof must be avoided in dealing with customers, suppliers or others doing or seeking to do business with Cemtrex, Inc.

 

We must protect customer information that is sensitive, private or confidential just as carefully as our own. Only those who have a need to know should have access to confidential information.

 

We must take special care to comply with all legal and contractual obligations in dealing with governments. National and local governments all around the world have specific and varied procurement laws and regulations that have been established to protect the public interest. Many other laws strictly govern accounting and billing practices applied to the fulfillment of government contractors and subcontractors. Cemtrex employees who deal with government officials and contracts are responsible for knowing and complying with applicable laws and regulations.

 

COMPETITORS

 

Collecting information on our competitors from legitimate sources to evaluate the relative merits of their products, services and marketing methods is proper and often necessary. However, there are limits to the ways information should be acquired. Practices such as industrial espionage and stealing are obviously wrong. But so is seeking confidential information from a new employee who recently worked for a competitor, or misrepresenting your identity in the hopes of getting confidential information from a competitor.

 

Cemtrex is firmly committed to compliance with both the letter and spirit of the antitrust laws wherever they are in force. Any form of questionable intelligence gathering is strictly against the provisions of this Code. By strengthening the free market system, these laws have permitted Cemtrex, Inc. to grow and prosper. Accordingly, the Company’s employees will compete vigorously with its competitors at all times.

 

ANTI-TRUST AND RESTRICTIVE TRADE PRACTICES

 

The anti-trust laws of the United States prohibit certain anti-competitive activities. These include agreements or understandings among competitors to fix or control prices; to boycott specified suppliers or customers; to allocate territories or markets; or to limit the production or sale of products or product lines. Employees shall not engage in such activities and shall report any instance in which such activities were proposed or discussed to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).

 

Employees shall not engage directly or indirectly in any restrictive international trade practice (i.e., a boycott of a supplier or customer). Employees shall report the receipt of any request to engage in such activities to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).

 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

Cemtrex believes its confidential proprietary information is an important asset in the operation of its business and prohibits the unauthorized use or disclosure of this information. Employees shall not disclose directly or indirectly any confidential information acquired in the course of employment, nor shall employees use such information to further any personal interest or to the Company’s disadvantage. This includes trading or providing information to others to permit them to trade in securities of the Company or other companies while in possession of material non-public information about those securities.

 

Cemtrex respects the property rights of other companies to their proprietary information and requires its employees to fully comply with both the spirit and the letter of U.S. and foreign laws and regulations protecting such rights. Cemtrex’s success is dependent upon the strict adherence by employees to this portion of the Code and all applicable standards and procedures.

DISCLOSURE OF COMPANY INFORMATION

 

Information is the lifeblood of any company. Open and effective dissemination of this information is critical to our success. However, much of the information concerning Cemtrex’s business activities is confidential. The disclosure of this information outside the company could seriously damage the company’s interests. Safeguarding this information is everyone’s responsibility.

 

To protect this information, it is company policy that:

 

· Confidential information of the company should be disclosed within the company only on a need-to-know basis;

 

· Confidential information of the company (paper and electronic) must be marked with additional handling instructions;

 

· Confidential information of the company should be disclosed outside the company only when required by law or when necessary to further the company’s business activities and in accordance with the company’s disclosure guidelines.

 

We also have an obligation to protect the confidential information provided to us by our customers and suppliers during the course of business. They expect this from us just as we expect it from them.

 

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING

 

All business records, expense accounts, vouchers, invoices, bills, payroll, service records and other reports, books and records of the Company must be prepared with care and accuracy and maintained in a verifiable manner in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All entries to Company ledger accounts must be substantiated by documentation that accurately describes the transaction they represent.

 

All corporate funds and accounts must be established in accordance with applicable Standard Practices. No fund or account is to be established or maintained for a purpose that is not fully and accurately described in the relevant books of the Company. All company books, records, accounts, funds and assets must be maintained to reflect fairly and accurately the underlying transactions and disposition of company business in reasonable detail. No entries will be made that intentionally conceal or disguise the true nature of any company transaction.

 

In this respect, the following guidelines must be followed:

 

· No undisclosed, unrecorded, or “off-book” funds or assets should be established for any purpose.
· No false or fictitious invoices should be paid or created. · No false or artificial entries should be made or misleading reports issued.
· Assets and liabilities of the company shall be recognized and stated in accordance with the company’s standard practices and GAAP.

 

If an employee believes that the company’s books and records are not being maintained in accordance with these requirements, the employee should report the matter directly to their supervisor, or to Mr. Sunny Patel , as Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information).

 

INSIDER TRADING

 

Employees shall not trade in securities while in possession of material inside information. To avoid even the appearance of insider trading, employees shall not trade in options in the company’s stock and shall avoid speculating in Cemtrex stock. All employees shall follow the guidelines on securities trading issued by the company.

 

Federal law and company policy prohibits employees, directly or indirectly through their families or others, from purchasing or selling company stock while in possession of material, non-public information concerning the company. To avoid even the appearance of improprieties, company policy also prohibits employees from trading options on the open market in company stock under any circumstances.

 

 

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Material, non-public information is any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the value of a stock. If an employee is considering buying or selling a stock because of inside information they may possess, they should assume that such information is material. It is also important for the employee to keep in mind that if any trade they make becomes the subject of an investigation by the government, the trade will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. Consequently, employees should always carefully consider how their trades would look from this perspective.

 

If an employee’s family or friends ask for advice about buying or selling company stock, the employee should not provide it. Federal law and company policy also prohibit the employee from “tipping” family or friends regarding material, non-public information that the employee learns about Cemtrex in the course of employment. The same penalties apply, regardless of whether the employee derives any benefit from the trade.

 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

Each Cemtrex employee must be careful to avoid any situation that might create a personal conflict of interest. This may involve participating in activities, including outside employment, which conflict or appear to conflict with Cemtrex’s business. Included are financial interests in suppliers or competitors. Business decisions and actions must be based on the best interests of Cemtrex and must not be motivated by personal considerations or relationships. Relationships with prospective or existing suppliers, contractors, customers, competitors or regulators must not affect our independent and sound judgment.

 

General guidelines to help employees better understand several of the most common examples of situations that may cause a conflict of interest follow:

 

· Outside Employment – employees of Cemtrex may not work for or receive payments from any competitor, customer, distributor or supplier of Cemtrex without approval of local management. Any outside activity must be strictly separated from Cemtrex employment and should not harm job performance at Cemtrex.

 

· Board Memberships – serving on the Board of Directors or a similar body for an outside company or government agency requires the advance approval of local management. Helping the community by serving on boards of non-profit or community organizations is encouraged and does not require prior approval.

 

· Gifts Given to Cemtrex Employees – employees of Cemtrex may not accept kickbacks, lavish gifts or gratuities. We can accept items of nominal value, such as small promotional items bearing another company’s name. We cannot accept anything that might make it appear that our judgment for Cemtrex would be compromised.

 

· Gifts Given by Cemtrex Employees – some business situations call for giving gifts. Gifts from Cemtrex must be legal, reasonable and approved by local management.

 

TRADE (EXPORT AND IMPORT)

 

Compliance with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce should be strictly enforced. The Marketing and Contracts group has the lead role within Cemtrex to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations pertaining to importing and exporting for all countries where Cemtrex does business. The export regulations are very complex and employees who are unfamiliar with them should not make decisions regarding licenses, etc.

 

INTERNATIONAL CITIZENSHIP

 

Since Cemtrex, Inc. is a multinational company, employees will frequently be confronted with laws, regulations and business practices in the various countries and economies that differ from those in places where they customarily do business. However, honesty and integrity are not subject to equivocation at any time in any culture. Cemtrex, Inc. will be a responsible corporate citizen in every country in which it conducts its business. By maintaining high levels of personal integrity and by recognizing the needs of the host countries in which the Company conducts its business, Cemtrex, Inc. will maintain its reputation for fairness and ethical behavior on a worldwide basis.

REPORTING VIOLATIONS

 

There are no easy answers to many ethical issues we face in our daily business activities. In some circumstances, the right thing to do will be obvious, but in other more complex situations, it may be difficult for an employee to decide what to do. When an employee is faced with a tough ethical decision or whenever they have any doubts as to the right thing to do, they should talk to someone else such as their supervisor or another manager. The company also has a member of the Board of Directors who has been identified as the individual to handle reports on violations of company policy. As the Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors, Mr. Sunny Patel serves as the individual to whom reported violations of company policy should be made, as well as any suspected misconduct by any employee or representative of the company. This may be done anonymously in writing to: William M. Aul, Esq., c/o Law Offices of William M. Aul, 7676 Hazard Center Drive, Suite 500, San Diego, CA 92108.

 

Cemtrex, Inc. will not permit any form of retribution against any person, who, in good faith, reports known suspected violations of this Corporate Code of Business Ethics or other company policy.

 

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY

 

Only employees who are specifically authorized may commit the company to others. A commitment by Cemtrex includes the execution of any written agreement or any other undertaking that obligates or binds the company in any respect, whether or not it involves the payment of money. Employees must never execute a document or otherwise commit the company unless they have clear authority to do so. They should check with the Controller of their organization to determine what authority limits have been delegated to them. Failure to follow this portion of the Code will subject the employee to disciplinary action.

 

USE OF COMPANY ASSETS

 

Cemtrex’s assets are to be used only for legitimate business purposes of Cemtrex, Inc. and its subsidiaries and only by authorized employees or their designees. This includes tangible and intangible assets. Some examples of tangible assets include office equipment such as phones, copiers, computers, furniture, supplies and production equipment.

 

We all have a responsibility to protect Cemtrex assets entrusted to us from loss, damage, misuse or theft. Cemtrex assets, such as funds, products or computers, may only be used for business purposes and other purposes approved by management. Cemtrex assets may never be used for illegal purposes.

 

Cemtrex’s electronic mail (e-mail) system should be restricted primarily to company business. Highly confidential information should be handled appropriately. The company reserves the right at any time to monitor and inspect, without notice, all electronic communications data and information transmitted over network and electronic files located on personal computers owned by the company or computers on the premises used in company business.

 

To the extent permitted under applicable law, employees, contractors and temporary employees shall assign to the company any invention, work of authorship, composition or other form of intellectual property created during the period of employment. Each employee shall execute a Confidentiality Agreement prior to commencing work for Cemtrex.

 

PURPOSE OF THE CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS

 

This Corporate Code of Business Ethics is a guide to help employees of Cemtrex live up to Cemtrex’s high ethical standards – and their own. It summarizes many of the laws that Cemtrex and its employees are required to live by. The Code goes beyond the legal minimums, however, by describing the ethical values we all share. This Code is neither a contract nor a comprehensive manual that covers every situation employees throughout the Company might encounter. It is a guide that highlights key issues and identifies policies and resources to help employees reach decisions that will make Cemtrex, Inc. proud.

 

RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

 

As employees of Cemtrex, Inc. each of us has the personal responsibility to make sure that our actions abide by this Corporate Code of Business Ethics and the laws that apply to our work. If anyone has any questions or concerns about illegal or unethical acts, check with your supervisor, or contact Mr. Sunny Patel, as Chairman of the Audit Committee for the Board of Directors (see Section entitled “Reporting Violations” for contact information). Keep in mind that failure to abide by this Code and the law will lead to disciplinary measures appropriate to the violation.

 

 

 

 

Cemtrex, Inc. and Subsidiaries

  

ADMINISTRATION

 

Employees acting on behalf of the Company are responsible for adherence to this Policy. All managers are responsible for advising their employees of the principles embodied in this Corporate Code of Business Ethics and for directing their activities consistent with these principles.

 

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGERS

 

Cemtrex managers are expected to lead according to our standards of ethical conduct, in both words and actions. Managers are responsible for promoting open and honest two-way communications. Managers must be positive activists and role models to show respect and consideration for each of our employees. Managers must be diligent in looking for indications that unethical or illegal conduct has occurred.
