Organization and Plan of Operations

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.

 

Advanced Technologies (AT)

 

Cemtrex’s Advanced Technologies segment delivers cutting-edge technologies in the IoT, Wearables and Smart Devices, such as the SmartDesk. Through the Company’s advanced engineering and product design, they deliver progressive design and development solutions to create impactful experiences for mobile, web, virtual and augmented reality, wearables and television as well as providing cutting edge, mission critical security and video surveillance. Through its Cemtrex VR division, the Company is developing a wide variety of applications for virtual and augmented reality markets.

 

Cemtrex has developed a cutting edge IoT product, the SmartDesk, over the last eighteen months to revolutionize the desktop PC 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. The Company also offers white glove installation, extended warranties, and accessories to go along with the SmartDesk.

 

Electronics Manufacturing (EM)

 

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) segment, offers single-source expertise and services for rigging, millwrighting, in plant maintenance, equipment erection, relocation, and disassembly to diversified customers.

 

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 State to 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.
