On October 26, 2020, the company acquired Virtual Driver Interactive (“VDI”), a California based provider of innovative driver training simulation solutions for a purchase price of $1,339,774 plus contingent consideration of $175,428.

 

For over 10 years, VDI has been known for its effective and engaging driver training systems, designed for users of all ages and skill levels.

Strategic Investment

 

On November 13, 2020, Cemtrex made a $500,000 investment via a simple agreement for future equity(“SAFE”) in MasterpieceVR. The SAFE provides that the Company will automatically receive shares of the entity based on the conversion rate of future equity rounds up to a valuation cap, as defined. MasterpieceVR is a software company that is developing software for content creation using virtual reality. The investment is included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet and the Company accounts for this investment and recorded at cost. No impairment has been recorded for the year ended September 30, 2021.

 

Going Concern Considerations

 

The Company has incurred substantial losses over the past two fiscal years and has debt obligations over the next fiscal year that raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has raised capital and will continue to reduce expenses through (i) issuance of notes and subsequent settlement of such notes with equity, (ii) equity offering to qualified investors and at-the-market offerings, (iii) review and improvement of our business processes for more efficiency, (iv) sale or reallocation of fixed assets held from exited business segments to raise capital or increase revenue in continuing business segments, (v) development of additional products for the Advanced Technologies segment to increase revenues, (vi) cost reductions to improve overall profitability in all segments. The Company believes that substantial doubt has been alleviated by management’s plans and that it has sufficient working capital to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months.
