Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On August 31, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of Griffin Filters, LLC to Ducon Technologies, Inc., which Aron Govil, the Company’s Founder and former CFO, is President, for total consideration of $550,000. As of March 31, 2022, and September 30, 2021, there was $1,472,514 and $1,487,155 in receivables due from Ducon Technologies, Inc., respectively. At March 31, 2022, $500,000 of the balance due is for the sale of Griffin, which was due in February 2021, and the remaining balance are various receivables with various due dates within the next fiscal year. The Company is currently negotiating a payment agreement surrounding all these amounts due. On February 23, 2021, Cemtrex’s Board of Directors determined that certain transactions between Cemtrex Inc. and 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 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 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 with a total value 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 the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. 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).
