This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Cemtrex and its subsidiaries, in which we refer to Cemtrex Inc. as “Company”, “Cemtrex” “we”, “our” and “us”, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Report and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 3, 2014, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”). Item 7 of the 2013 Form 10-K describes the application of our critical accounting policies, for which there have been no significant changes as of December 31, 2013.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this report may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under "Risk Factors" in our Form 10 filed June 19, 2008 and any risks described in any other filings we make with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

SUPPLIERS
The Company is not dependent on, nor expects to become dependent on, any one or a limited number of suppliers. The Company buys parts and components to assemble and manufacture its equipment and products. The Company also utilizes sub-suppliers and third party vendors to procure from or fabricate its components based on its design, engineering and specifications. The Company also enters into subcontracts for field installation, which the Company supervises; and the Company manages all technical, physical and commercial aspects of the performance of the Company contracts. To date, the Company has not experienced difficulties either in obtaining fabricated components and other materials and parts or in obtaining qualified subcontractors for installation work.
PARTS, REPAIR AND REFURBISHMENT SERVICES
The Company also provides replacement and spare parts and repair and refurbishment services for all its systems following the expiration of the warranties which generally range up to 12 months. The Company has experienced only minimal costs from its warranties.
The Company's standard terms of sale disclaim any liability for consequential or indirect losses or damages stemming from any failure of its products or systems or any component thereof. The Company seeks indemnification from its subcontractors for any loss, damage or claim arising from the subcontractors' failure to perform.
COMPETITION
The Company faces substantial competition in each of its principal markets. Most of its competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than the Company; several are divisions of multi-national companies. The Company competes on the basis of price, engineering and technological expertise, know-how and the quality of its products, systems and services. Additionally, the Company's management believes that the successful delivery, installation and performance of the Company's products and systems is a key factor in gaining business as customers typically prefer to make significant purchases from a company with a solid performance history.
The Company obtains virtually all its contracts through competitive bidding. Although price is an important factor and may in some cases be the governing factor, it is not always determinative, and contracts are often awarded on the basis of the efficiency or reliability of products and the engineering and technical expertise of the bidder. Several companies market products that compete directly with Company’s products. Other companies offer products that potential customers may consider to be acceptable alternatives to Company’s products and services. The Company faces direct competition from companies with far greater financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources.
9 | ||
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Over the years, the Company has developed proprietary technologies that gives it an edge in competing with its competitors. Thus, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets and know-how to protect its intellectual property.
MARKETING
The Company sells its products globally and relies on direct sales force, manufacturing representatives, distributors, commission sales agents, magazine advertisements, internet advertising, trade shows, trade directories and catalogue listings to market its products and services. The Company uses independent sales representatives in the United States backed by its sales management and technical professionals. The Company's arrangements with independent sales representatives accord each a defined territory within which to sell some or all of its products and systems, provide for the payment of agreed-upon sales commissions and are terminable at will. The Company's sales representatives do not have authority to execute contracts on the Company's behalf.
The Company's sales representatives also serve as ongoing liaison function between Company and its customers during the installation phase of the products and systems and address customers' questions or concerns arising thereafter. The Company selects representatives based upon industry reputation, prior sales performance including number of prospective leads generated and sales closure rates, and the breadth of territorial coverage, among other criteria.
Technical inquiries received from potential customers are referred to the engineering personnel. Thereafter, the Company's sales and engineering personnel jointly prepare a budget proposal, or a final bid. The period between initial customer contact and issuance of an order is generally between two and twelve months.
CUSTOMERS
The Company's principal customers are engaged in automotive, medical, industrial automation, refining, power, chemical, mining and metallurgical processing. Historically, most of the customers have purchased individual products or systems which, in many instances, operate in conjunction with products and systems supplied by others. For several years, the Company has marketed its products as integrated custom engineered systems and solutions. No one single customer accounts for a large percentage of its annual sales.
For the MIP business, the Company is responsible to its customers for all phases of the design, assembly, supply and, if included, field installation of its products and systems. The successful completion of a project is generally determined by a successful operational test of the supplied equipment conducted by our field service technician in the presence of the customer. For ROB Cemtrex GmbH, the company is responsible for the production, supply, and delivery of products to its customers. In order to satisfy customer orders, the Company must consistently meet production deadlines and maintain a high standard of quality.
INSURANCE
The Company currently maintains different types of insurance, including general liability and property coverage. The Company does not maintain product liability insurance with respect to its products and equipment. Management believes that the insurance coverage that it has is adequate for its current business needs.
EMPLOYEES
The Company employs approximately 220 people as of December 31, 2013, including 15 engaged in engineering, 162 in manufacturing and 43 in administrative and marketing functions.
10 | ||
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company’s operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to, among others, environmental, waste management, labor and health and safety matters. Management believes that the Company’s business is operated in material compliance with all such regulations.
Management believes that the existence of governmental regulations creates demand for Company's emission monitoring equipment and environmental control systems. Significant environmental laws, particularly the Federal Clean Air Act, have been enacted in response to public concern about the environment. The Company believes that compliance with and enforcement of these laws and regulations create the demand for its environmental control related products and systems. The Federal Clean Air Act, initially adopted in 1970 and extensively amended in 1990, requires compliance with ambient air quality standards and empowers the EPA to establish and enforce limits on the emission of various pollutants from specific types of industrial facilities. States have primary responsibility for implementing these standards, and, in some cases, have adopted more stringent standards.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following table sets forth selected historical consolidated financial data from our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements including the related notes and this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section hereof.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities during the periods reported. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as revenues, allowances for returns, early payment discounts, customer discounts, doubtful accounts, employee compensation programs, depreciation and amortization periods, taxes, inventory values, and valuations of investments, goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries.
We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We write down inventory balances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company examined goodwill for impairment and determined that the Company’s carrying amount did not exceed the fair value, thus, there was no impairment.
12 | ||
Generally, sales are recognized when shipments are made to customers. Rebates, allowances for damaged goods and other advertising and marketing program rebates are accrued pursuant to contractual provisions and included in accrued expenses. A certain amount of our revenues fall under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting used for long-term contracts. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Sales and gross profit are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Month Period ending December 31, 2013 compared to Three Month Period ending December 31, 2012
Net Sales: Net sales for three months ended December 31, 2013 increased by $6,778,048 or 310%, to $8,964,380 from $2,186,332 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. Sales growth increased during the three month period ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to the acquisition of Rob Cemtrex GmbH . For two(2 )months operation, the latter, had a revenue of $6,664,723.
Gross Profit : Gross Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $2,824,738 which made up 31.51% of net sales as compared to Gross profit of $507,032 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 which was 23.19% of net sales. The Increase in gross margin in the three months ended December 31, 2013 was a direct result of high profit margin jobs shipped during this period as compared to the previous quarter. The higher amount of Gross Profit was due to ROB Cemtrex GmbH acquisition.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 increased $2,105,010 or 803,28% to $2,367,061 from $262,051 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the three month period ended December 31, 2013 to 26.40% from 11.98% in the three month period ended December 31.2012. The increase in operating expenses in the current quarter were primarily due to the acquisition of ROB Cemtrex GmbH .
Net Income/Loss: The Company had net profit of $416,552 which was 4.64% of net sales, for the three month period ended December 31, 2013 as compared to a net income of $166,915 for the three month ended December 31, 2012 which was 7.63% of net sales. The profit in the current quarter increased as compared to income in the previous quarter a year ago, due to higher overall sales. The net income percentage in this period as compared to the previous one was lower as a result of higher operating expenses in the current quarter.
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 $14,276,405 at December 31, 2013 compared to $1,870,968 at September 30, 2013. This includes cash and cash equivalent of $1,413,239 at December 31, 2013 and $66,963 at September 30, 2013, respectively. The reason for the increase in working capital was due to the acquisition of Rob Cemtrex Gmbh
Trade receivables increased $2,117,383 or 114.59% at December 31, 2013 to $3,965,019 at September 30, 2013 from $1,847,636 at September 30, 2013. The increased in accounts receivable is attributable to larger operation as a result of acquisition of Rob Cemtrex GmbH.
Inventories increased $5,134,954 or 3,222.47% to $5,294,302 at December 31, 2013 from $159,348 at September 30, 2013. The increased in inventories was due to acquisition of Rob Cemtrex GmbH.
Continuing operations used $7,325,947 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to using $587,509 of cash for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in cash flows was primarily due to increase in sales and inventory due to the acquisition of ROB Cemtrex-GmbH. Investment activities for continuing operations used $3,449,228 of cash compared to providing $21,493 during 2012.The Financing activities in 2013 provided $12,121,451 primarily related to loans received by the Company for Rob Cemtrex GmbH acquisition..
13 | ||
We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operations, is sufficient to meet the capital demands of our current operations during the 2014 fiscal year (ending September 30, 2014). Any major increases in sales, particularly in new products, may require substantial capital investment. Failure to obtain sufficient capital could materially adversely impact our growth potential.
OUTLOOK
We anticipate that the outlook for our products and services remains fairly strong and we are positioned well to take advantage of it.
We believe there is currently a gradually increasing public awareness of the issues surrounding air quality and that this trend will continue for the next several years. We also believe there is an increase in public concern regarding the effects of air quality on society and future generations, as well as an increase in interest by standards-making bodies in creating specifications and techniques for detecting, defining and solving air quality problems. As a result, we believe there will be an increase in interest in our mercury monitors, opacity monitors, carbon credits and air filtration products of subsidiary Griffin Filters. Due to recent regulations by the EPA regarding industrial and commercial boilers we anticipate that over the next six years there will be a major push by many boiler operators to install equipment we develop and market.
We also plan to grow our business this year through means of acquisitions and investments. We believe in long term business strategies of five to seven year time horizons. As a result we are looking to expand into new industries and markets where we can leverage our assets and talent into driving value for our shareholders.
This Outlook section, and other portions of this document, include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, among others, those statements preceded by, following or including the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the current expectations of management and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10K as well as:
|
•
|
the shortage of reliable market data regarding the emission monitoring & air filtration market,
|
|
|
|
|
•
|

|
|
|
|
•
|
anticipated working capital or other cash requirements,
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the market,
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
product obsolescence due to the development of new technologies, and
|
|
|
|
|
•
|

Item 3. Quantitative & Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Not applicable.
14 | ||
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost- benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of December 31, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, except that the Company increased its internal controls around the issuance and recording of common stock sales.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. The Company's chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
