Potential Impacts of COVID-19 on our Business

The current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business operations and the results of our operations in this fiscal year, primarily with delays in expected orders by many customers and new product development. Overall bookings level in both business segments have been impacted. In addition, due to delays in certain supply chain areas, the expected launch times of our new products and new versions of existing products have been delayed for several months. We are also starting to see the costs of certain components that are facing shortages, increase in price which may affect gross margins.

The broader implications of COVID-19 on our results from operations going forward remains uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to cause adverse effects to our customers, suppliers or business partners in locations that have or will experience more pronounced disruptions, which could result in a reduction to future revenue and manufacturing output as well as delays in our new product development activities.

The extent of the pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact both within and outside the jurisdictions where we operate, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

Restatement of Financial Statements

Significant Accounting Policies

Background

On February 23, 2021, Cemtrex’s Board of Directors determined that certain transactions between Cemtrex Inc. and Recent First Commercial, a company owned by former Executive Director, former Controlling Shareholder and former CFO, Aron Govil, were incorrectly handled and accounted for.

The total amount of disputed transfers was approximately $7,100,000 and occurred in fiscal year 2017 in the amount of $5,600,000 and in fiscal year 2018 in the amount of $1,500,000. Cemtrex did not find any other such transfers during this period or thereafter, upon further review of the Company’s records.

Upon the Company’s investigation into this matter, the Company has determined that there were inaccuracies in the Company’s financial statements. The financials for the periods 2017 and 2018 were incorrect corresponding to the amounts that were incorrectly accounted for, and subsequent years were affected by the roll forward effects of these entries. The Company found unsupported advertising expenses in the amount of approximately $400,000 on Cemtrex Inc’s income statement for fiscal year 2018 and found that approximately $5,700,000 of intangible assets and $975,000 of research and development expenses, as translated at from Indian Rupee at the time, were recorded on Cemtrex India’s financial statements in fiscal year 2018 and could not be substantiated. The total amount of unsubstantiated transfers recorded by Cemtrex India and the unsupported advertising expense recorded by Cemtrex, Inc. sums to $7,100,000, corresponding with the total amount in question regarding First Commercial transfers during fiscal years 2017 and 2018.

10

As part of the restatement investigation, it was determined that the Company did not follow GAAP in the treatment of its Series 1 Preferred dividends. The Company currently has a deficit in retained earnings and in accordance with guidance has reversed the accrual for dividends payable and placed the amount of the accrual back into retained earnings.

Position and Adjusting Entries

The Company has determined that these transactions are not material in the years that they occurred and conclude that prior financial reports can be relied upon. The Company’s determination is based on the following: The adjustments do not cause any changes to the previously reported cash and debt balances as of the end of each of the periods in FY 2019 and 2020. The adjustments also do not cause any changes to revenues in any of the prior periods. In addition, the Company expects to maintain compliance with its debt covenants based on a preliminary review of the covenants for all the impacted periods. The Company has also determined that the adjustments have little effect on the trend of earnings over the last three fiscal years. In 2017 the operations of the Company were vastly different with both the environmental and circuit board manufacturing segments accounting for approximately 75% of revenues. These businesses are now either sold or discontinued. The current reported 2017 financial statements of the Company do not give an accurate representation of the Company today because only 16% of the $120M business operations are still a part of current operations.

The table below represents the balances of the affected accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2020.

On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Aron Govil regarding these transactions.

As part of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Govil was required to pay the Company consideration of $7,100,000 (the “Settlement Amount”) by entering into the Agreement. The Settlement Amount was satisfied in a combination of Mr. Govil forfeiting certain Preferred Stock and outstanding options and executing a secured note in the amount of $1,533,280. The Independent Board of Directors in coordination with Management concluded the settlement represented fair value.

In March 2021, Mr. Govil returned to the Company 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 50,000 Shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 469,949 shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, and forfeited all outstanding options to purchase shares of commons stock (collectively, the “Securities”). For the purposes of accounting recognition, the Company determined the fair value of the Series A, Series C, and Series 1 Preferred stock based on the closing trading value of the Series 1 Preferred Stock on the date of the agreement. The options surrendered were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company recognized the gain with respect to the surrendered Securities during this reporting period. The gain of $3,674,165 is reported as Settlement Agreement - Related Party on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

As discussed above, Mr. Govil also executed a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of $1,533,280. The Note matures and is due in full in two years and bears interest at 9% per annum and is secured by all of Mr. Govil’s assets. Mr. Govil also agreed to sign an affidavit confessing judgment in the event of a default on the Note. While the Company believes the note is fully collectible, in accordance with ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies, the Company determined the gain will not be recognized until the note is paid. Accordingly, the note and associated gain is not presented on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

Accounting Pronouncements

 

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, 2019,2020, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842)

On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted 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 may use the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:

12
 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.

 

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.

See Note 10 for the impact implementing this standard had on our 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 believes adoption will not have a material effect on the 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 fromon 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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been madeIn March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU No. 2020-04”). The update provides optional guidance for a limited period to prior period amounts to conform toease the current period presentation.potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) contract modifications on financial reporting caused by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2020. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or the related disclosures.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability 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 three 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 or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at 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.

14

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.

 

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.investments. 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.

NOTE 10 – LEASES

 

ASC 842, “Leases”, 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 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.

16

 

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 57 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

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, 2019.2020.

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 Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our CEO and our CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020.2021. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 20202021, there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the Company lacking sufficient accounting personnel. The shortage of 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.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with GAAP.

 

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 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.
