NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated on April 27, 1998, in the state of Delaware under the name "Diversified American Holdings, Inc."

On December 15, 2015, we acquired Advanced Industrial Services Inc. and its affiliate subsidiary company based in York, Pennsylvania for a purchase price of approximately $7,500,000, and acquisition related expenses of $476,340. The purchase price consisted of $5,000,000 in cash, $1,500,000 in a seller's note, and $1,000,000 in the form of 315,458 shares of Cemtrex restricted Common Stock. AIS averaged approximately $23 million in annual revenue and $2.4 million in annual normalized EBITDA over the two calendar years 2013 and 2014. We worked with a local bank to finance the $5.25 million self-amortizing, seven (7) year term loan and $3.5 million working capital credit line for the transaction. The loans carry annual interest rates of 30 day LIBOR plus 2.25 and 2.0 respectively. The seller's note is for 3 years at 6% (see NOTE 13).

On May 31, 2016, we acquired a machinery & equipment business, an electronics manufacturing business and a logistics business from a German company, Periscope, GmbH ("Periscope") and placed them in three newly formed entities: ROB Cemtrex Assets UG, ROB Cemtrex Automotive GmbH and ROB Cemtrex Logistics GmbH respectively. Periscope's electronic manufacturing business deals primarily with the major German automotive manufacturers, including Tier 1 suppliers in the industry, as well as for industries like telecommunications, industrial goods, luxury consumer products, display technology, and other industrial OEMs. Periscope had more than 35 years of industrial operating experience. The Periscope acquisition was completed through use of $4,902,670 of cash, $717,936 in a Seller note and $3,298,600 in proceeds from the issuance of a note to Ducon Technologies Inc., a related party (see NOTE 13).

The Company is aware of three alleged securities class action complaints filed against the Company and certain of its executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.  Under the requirements of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these three alleged class actions, as well as any further related actions, will be consolidated into a single lawsuit following decisions on motions to consolidate filed with the Court on April 25, 2017.

The allegations in the three complaints are based on the assertions contained in a blog post published on an internet website that challenged various aspects of the Company's stock trading and relationships.  The Company denies these assertions, and filed a lawsuit seeking damages of $170 million against the blogger on March 4, 2017 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The Company believes the alleged class action litigation is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company has retained Lane Powell PC, a national securities class action defense law firm with no previous relationship to the Company, to defend the litigation, and intends to seek dismissal of the litigation at the earliest possible stage.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 ("2016 Annual Report") of Cemtrex Inc. ("Cemtrex" or the "Company"). A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is identified in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2016 Annual Report. There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies subsequent to September 30, 2016.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions the Company makes are based on historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company's management. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries, Griffin Filters LLC, MIP Cemtrex Inc., Cemtrex Ltd., ROB Cemtrex GmbH, ROB Systems Srl, ROB Cemtrex Assets UG, ROB Cemtrex Automotive GmbH, ROB Cemtrex Logistics GmbH, and Advanced Industrial Services, Inc.

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, 2016, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY

Our current strategic plan includes the expansion of the Company both organically and through acquisitions if market conditions and competitive conditions allow. Due to the long-term nature of investments in acquisitions and other financial needs to support organic growth, including working capital, we expect our long-term and working capital needs to periodically exceed the short-term fluctuations in cash flow from operations. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will likely raise additional external capital from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, and debt instruments as market conditions may allow in addition to cash flow from operations to fund our growth and working capital needs.

To the extent that our internally-generated cash flow is insufficient to meet our needs, we are subject to uncertain and ever-changing debt and equity capital market conditions over which we have no control. The magnitude and the timing of the funds that we need to raise from external sources also cannot be easily predicted.

In January and February 2017, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $14,018,750 through the issuance of 1,401,875 shares of its series 1 preferred stock, paying cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% of the purchase price per year, and 2,803,750 series 1 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $6.31 per share for five years.

General Overview

The Company was incorporated on April 27, 1998, in the state of Delaware under the name "Diversified American Holdings, Inc." The Company subsequently changed its name to "Cemtrex Inc." on December 16, 2004. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we", "our", "us", "Company", "registrant", "Cemtrex" or "management" refer to Cemtrex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Cemtrex is a leading diversified technology company that provides solutions to meet today's industrial and manufacturing challenges. The Company provides manufacturing services of advanced electronic system assemblies, provides broad-based industrial services instruments & emission monitors for industrial processes, and provides industrial air filtration & environmental control systems.

The analyzers are sold by refineries and similar facilities to optimize the yield of blended and refined product.

On December 15, 2015, we acquired Advanced Industrial Services, Inc. and its affiliate subsidiary company based in York Pennsylvania. Advanced Industrial Services Inc. is a well-known broad based industrial services provider that offers one-source expertise and capabilities in plant and equipment erection, relocation, and disassembly. Over the years it has been one of the market leaders in installing high precision equipment in a wide variety of industrial markets like automotive, printing & graphics, industrial automation, packaging, and chemicals among others. In addition, AIS has experience in installing industrial air filtration equipment, similar to the equipment sold by Cemtrex through its existing business operations (see NOTE 13).

On May 31, 2016, we acquired a machinery & equipment business, an electronics manufacturing business and a logistics business from a German company, Periscope, GmbH ("Periscope") and placed them in three newly formed entities: ROB Cemtrex Assets UG, ROB Cemtrex Automotive GmbH and ROB Cemtrex Logistics GmbH respectively. Periscope's electronic manufacturing business deals primarily with the major German automotive manufacturers, including Tier 1 suppliers in the industry, as well as for industries like telecommunications, industrial goods, luxury consumer products, display technology, and other industrial OEMs. Periscope had more than 35 years of industrial operating experience (see NOTE 13).

The Company is aware of three alleged securities class action complaints filed against the Company and certain of its executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Under the requirements of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these three alleged class actions, as well as any further related actions, will be consolidated into a single lawsuit following decisions on motions to consolidate filed with the Court on April 25, 2017.

The allegations in the three complaints are based on the assertions contained in a blog post published on an internet website that challenged various aspects of the Company's stock trading and relationships. The Company denies these assertions, and filed a lawsuit seeking damages in the amount of $170 million, against the blogger on March 4, 2017 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The Company believes the alleged class action litigation is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Company has retained Lane Powell PC, a national securities class action defense law firm with no previous relationship to the Company, to defend the litigation, and intends to seek dismissal of the litigation at the earliest possible stage.

Liquidity

In December 2016, we commenced a subscription rights offering to our stockholders to raise up to $15.0 million through the sale of units, each consisting of one share of our series 1 preferred stock, paying cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% of the purchase price per year, and two five-year series 1 warrants, upon the exercise of subscription rights at $10.00 per unit. On February 2, 2017, the Company completed the final closing of its rights offering. With the final closing, the total subscription proceeds received by the Company in its rights offering and related standby placement amounted to $14,018,750, before payment of the dealer-manager fee and other offering expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). 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 "critical", 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 critical 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, 2016.

The increase in operating expenses was due to certain onetime expenses related to litigation and marketing as a result of recent lawsuits as well as increased expenses due to sales and marketing activities.

Other Income/(Expense)

Interest and other income/(expense) for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $(641,022) as compared to $(70,890) for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The expense was due primarily to a loss on the disposal of fixed assets and interest on the acquisition loans for AIS and interest on convertible notes payable.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the second quarter of fiscal 2017 we recorded an income tax provision of $291,076 compared to $5,700 for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The provision for income tax is based upon the projected income tax from the Company's various U.S. and international subsidiaries that are subject to their respective income tax jurisdictions.

Interest and other income/(expense) for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2017 was $(979,916) as compared to $104,345 for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016.

Effects of Inflation

The Company's business and operations have not been materially affected by inflation during the periods for which financial information is presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital was $26,411,263 at March 31, 2017 compared to $11,771,946 at September 30, 2016. This includes cash and cash equivalents of $15,955,975 at March 31, 2017 and $6,045,521 at September 30, 2016, respectively. The increase in working capital was primarily due the proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and common stock warrants during our subscription rights offering.

Accounts receivable increased $40,312 or less than 1% to $13,609,039 at March 31, 2017 from $13,568,727 at September 30, 2016. The increase in accounts receivable is largely attributable to increased sales.

Inventories decreased $465,523 or 3% to $13,615,104 at March 31, 2017 from $14,071,627 at September 30, 2016. The decrease in inventories is attributable to the execution of in-house orders, delayed during the prior period, as compared to the same period a year ago. The shipments were delayed since the customers had to put a hold on taking delivery of certain shipments due to their own internal production issues.

Operating activities provided $630,641 of cash for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to providing cash of $1,865,210 of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to paying down our current liabilities during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2017.

Investment activities used $1,634,521 of cash for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to using cash of $7,503,929 during the six month period ended March 31, 2016. Investing activities for the first and second quarters of 2017 were primarily driven by the purchase and retirement of shares of our common stock and purchases and disposal of property, plant, and equipment.

Financing activities provided $10,914,334 of cash in the six month period ended March 31, 2017 as compared to providing cash of $7,433,685 in the six month period ended March 31, 2016. Financing activities were primarily driven by proceeds from our subscription rights offering offset by payments of bank loans, loans from affiliated companies, notes payable and dividends paid on our Series 1 Preferred Stock.

Our current strategic plan includes the expansion of the Company both organically and through acquisitions if market conditions and competitive conditions allow. Due to the long-term nature of investments in acquisitions and other financial needs to support organic growth, including working capital, we expect our long-term and working capital needs to periodically exceed the short-term fluctuations in cash flow from operations. Accordingly, in addition to the net proceeds received from the Company's recently-completed rights offering and standby purchase, we anticipate that we will likely raise additional external capital from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, and debt instruments as market conditions may allow in addition to cash flow from operations to fund our growth and working capital needs. There is no guarantee that cash flow from operations and/or debt and equity vehicles will provide sufficient capital to meet our expansion goals and working capital needs.

To the extent that our internally-generated cash flow is insufficient to meet our needs, we are subject to uncertain and ever-changing debt and equity capital market conditions over which we have no control. The magnitude and the timing of the funds that we need to raise from external sources also cannot be easily predicted.

In January and February 2017, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $14,018,750 through the issuance of 1,401,875 shares of its series 1 preferred stock, paying cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% of the purchase price per year, and 2,803,750 series 1 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $6.31 per share for five years.
