Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Cemtrex” or “management” refer to Cemtrex, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Cemtrex has developed a cutting edge IoT product, the SmartDesk, over the last eighteen months to revolutionize the desktop PC and personal workspace market. The SmartDesk is custom engineered and manufactured by Cemtrex with over eighteen patents pending around the product. SmartDesk combines and reimagines the needs of the modern office workstation in a sleek, clutter-free design. The product includes 72 inches of touch display monitors, proprietary patent-pending touch and gesture control, digital phone and webcam, integrated document scanner, wireless smartphone charging, and a built-in keyboard / trackpad with an electric-powered, adjustable-height desk.

 

The Company is marketing this product to both consumers and enterprises alike. The Company currently markets this product directly to consumers but is also bringing on value added resellers (VARs) to reach enterprise customers. Cemtrex has received pre-orders from large Fortune 500 organizations like Black & Decker and United airlines. The Company will start fulfilling most SmartDesk orders in its fiscal second quarter.

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. The Company is currently evaluating any fair market value adjustments that may be required.

 

On August 8, 2018, the Company entered into a Research and Development Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Vicon to provide Vicon with outsourced software development services. Vicon is transitioning its principal Israeli based software development activities to the Company’s India based services group, which has now assumed principal software coding and test responsibilities for Vicon. The outsourcing of these activities is expected to materially reduce the Vicon’s software development costs and provide development efficiencies, which should help expedite its software roadmap. The terms of the Agreement, among other things, set forth the scope of services, consideration, developed technology ownership, non-disclosure and safeguard of Vicon’s software code.
