NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Cemtrex was incorporated in 1998, in the state of Delaware and has evolved through strategic acquisitions and internal growth from a small environmental monitoring instruments company into a world leading multi-industry technology company. The Company drives innovation in a wide range of sectors, including smart technology, virtual and augmented realities, advanced electronic systems, industrial solutions, and intelligent security systems. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Cemtrex” or “management” refer to Cemtrex, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio businesses to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return in the coming years. During fiscal 2019, the Company made a strategic decision to exit its Electronics Manufacturing group by selling all companies in that business segment on August 15, 2019. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the Electronics Manufacturing business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied for all periods presented. During fiscal 2019, the Company also reached a strategic decision to exit the environmental products business which was part of Industrial Services group. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the environmental control products business as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Now the Company has two business segments, consisting of (i) Advanced Technologies (AT) and (ii) Industrial Services (IS)

state government offices.

Electronics Manufacturing (EM)

Industrial Services (IS)

 

Cemtrex’s Electronics Manufacturing (EM) segment 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 works with industry leading OEMs in their outsourcing of advanced 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 lifecycle of a product, from design, manufacturing, and distribution. The Company seeks to grow the business through the addition of new, high quality customers, the expansion of its share of business with existing customers and participating in the growth of existing customers.

Using its manufacturing capabilities, the Company provides customers with advanced product assembly and system level integration combined with test services to meet the highest standards of quality. Through its 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 its PCBAs to enhance value for their customers. The Company also provides engineering services from new product introductions and prototyping, related testing equipment, to product redesigns.

Industrial Technology (IT)

Cemtrex’s Industrial Technology (IT)IS segment, offers single-source expertise and services for rigging, millwrighting, in plant maintenance, equipment erection, relocation, and disassembly to diversified customers. We install high precision equipment in a wide variety of industrial markets like automotive, printing & graphics, industrial automation, packaging, and chemicals among others. We are a leading provider of reliability-driven maintenance and contracting solutions for the machinery, packaging, printing, chemical, and other manufacturing markets. The focus is on customers seeking to achieve greater asset utilization and reliability to cut costs and increase production from existing assets, including small projects, sustaining capital, turnarounds, maintenance, specialty welding services, and high-quality scaffolding.

 

The Company believes its ability to attract and retain new customers comes from their ongoing commitment to understanding its 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 to achieve a deep understanding of our customer’s goals, challenges, strategies, operations, and products to ultimately build a long-lasting successful relationship.

Recent Developments

The Company continues to experience weakness in new orders in its environmental instruments and control products markets both domestically and internationally. Revenues in that segment continue to be down as fewer number of projects are being decided and awarded due to relaxation of numerous environmental regulations under the current administration. Company has shifted its focus into smart devices and virtual reality applications, and its Electronics Manufacturing business, and hence the Company will continue to reduce its presence in the environmental instruments and control products markets in the coming year.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 28, 2019, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of Stateto effect a 1-for-8 reverse split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).As a result, every eight 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 June 13, 2019, the Reverse Stock Split became effective and that trading in its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Markets Exchange on a split-adjusted basis began on the morning of June 13, 2019. All share amounts and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split in the prior periods presented.

Vicon Industries, Inc.

On March 23, 2018, in a private resale transaction, Cemtrex purchased 7,284,824 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock of Vicon Industries, Inc.(OTCMKTS: VCON), (“Vicon”), from former Vicon shareholder NIL Funding Corporation, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement. Cemtrex’s purchase of the Vicon Industries common stock and warrant resulted in its beneficial ownership of approximately 46% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Vicon. Cemtrex purchased the shares of common stock and warrant of Vicon Industries in exchange for 1,012,625 shares of Cemtrex common stock. Following the closing of the transaction, Saagar Govil, Cemtrex’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Aron Govil, Cemtrex’s Executive Director, joined the Vicon Industries Board of Directors and Saagar Govil assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer of Vicon Industries. Following the resignation of all other Board members by January 2019, the Company had elected to account for Vicon using the consolidation method. On May 13, 2019, the Company acquired 15,000,000 shares of Vicon common stock in exchange for $300,000 in consideration. The Company now owns approximately 70% of Vicon’s outstanding shares of common stock. The company accounts for Vicon using the consolidation method of accounting.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018,2019, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adoption of ASC 606ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842)

 

EffectiveOn October 1, 2018,2019, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach for all of its contracts. Following the adoption of ASC 606, the Company continues to recognize revenue at a point-in-time when control of goods transfers to the customer. This is consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition accounting policy under which the Company recognized revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer and collectability was reasonably assured. ASC 606 did not impact the Company’s presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis. The Company recognizes contract revenue from the sales of services for rigging, millwrighting, in plant maintenance, equipment erection, relocation, and disassembly. In addition, there was no impact of adoption on the statement of operations or balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 or for the nine months then ended. The Company expects the impact of adopting the new revenue standard to be immaterial to net income on an ongoing basis.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from sales of services for rigging, millwrighting, in plant maintenance, equipment erection, relocation, and disassembly at the point in time when the performance obligations in the contract are met, which is when the customer obtains control of such products and typically occurs upon delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. In some instances, the Company enters into contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations to deliver volumes of co-products over a contractual period of less than 12 months. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognizes the related revenue as control of each individual product is transferred to the customer in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), “Leases”. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. See Note 10 of these financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The new standard is effective for the Company from October 1, 2020. The Company will adopt this standard starting October 1, 2019. The Company does not believebelieves adoption will not have a material effect on itsthe Company’s financial position.

In December 2019, the FASB issued amended guidance, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, to remove certain exceptions to the general principles from ASC 740 - Income Taxes, and to improve consistent application of U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company from October 1, 2021; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures, results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, fairFair value is defined as the price that would be received to sellupon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is applied to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

The Company had nothree levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance for fair value measurements are described below:

Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets reportable under ASC 820or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at June 30,the measurement date. Our Level 1 assets include cash equivalents, banker’s acceptances, trading securities investments and investment funds. We measure trading securities investments and investment funds at quoted market prices as they are traded in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified contractual term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

11

Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Level 3 assets and liabilities include cost method investments, goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, which are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach when they are impaired. Quantitative information for Level 3 assets and liabilities reviewed at each reporting period includes indicators of significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, business prospects of the investee, and financial indicators of the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s fair value assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.2018 are as follows;

NOTE 10 – LEASES

ASC 842, “Leases”, requires that a lessee recognize the assets and $4,248,075liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and $2,583,465, respectively.a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at either the effective date (the “effective date method”) or the beginning of the earliest period presented (the “comparative method”) using a modified retrospective approach. Under the effective date method, the Company’s comparative period reporting is unchanged. In contrast, under the comparative method, the Company’s date of initial application is the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the Topic 842 transition guidance is then applied to all comparative periods presented. Further, under either transition method, the standard includes certain practical expedients intended to ease the burden of adoption. The Company adopted ASC 842 October 1, 2019 using the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:

whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease;
lease classification for expired or existing leases; and
whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842.

13

The Company also made the accounting policy decision not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

The Company entered into a financing lease for a single vehicle in the Industrial services segment with a term of 3 years. The Company enters into operating leases for its facilities in New York, United Kingdom, and India, as well as for vehicles for use in our Industrial Services segment. The operating lease terms range from 2 to 5 years. The Company excluded the renewal option on its applicable facility leases from the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events, our actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and judgment of our management, who continually evaluate the judgments, estimates and assumptions and may employ outside experts to assist in the evaluations.

Certain of our accounting policies are deemed “significant”, as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018.2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures reporting as promulgated under the Exchange Act is defined as controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (“ICFO”CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our CEO and our ICFOCFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019, basedDecember 31, 2019. Based on itstheir evaluation, our management has concluded that as of June 30,December 31, 2019 there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the Company lacking sufficient qualified, accounting personnel. The shortage of qualified accounting personal resulted in the Company lacking entity level controls around the review of period-end reporting processes, accounting policies and public disclosures. This deficiency is common in small companies, similar to us, with limited personnel.

 

In order to mitigate the material weakness, the Board of Directors has assigned a priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Our Board of Directors will work with management to continuously review controls and procedures to identified deficiencies and implement remediation within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

While there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company is taking steps to improve its internal controls by obtaining additional qualified accounting personnel.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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 our company have been detected.
