NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 into a leading multi-industry technology company. The Company has expanded in a wide range of sectors, including smart technologies, virtual and augmented realities, 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.

The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio businesses to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return in the coming years. During fiscal 2018, the Company made a strategic decision to exit its Electronics Manufacturing group by selling all companies in that business segment on August 15, 2019. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the Electronics Manufacturing business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied for all periods presented. During fiscal 2019, the Company also reached a strategic decision to exit the environmental products business, which was part of the Industrial Services Segment. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the environmental control products business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Now the Company has two business segments, consisting of (i) Advanced Technologies (AT) and (ii) Industrial Services (IS).

Advanced Technologies (AT)

Cemtrex’s Advanced Technologies segment delivers cutting-edge technologies in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Devices, such as the SmartDesk. Through the Company’s advanced engineering and product design, the Company delivers Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) solutions that provide higher productivity, progressive design and impactful experiences for consumer products, and various commercial and industrial applications. The Company is in the process of developing its own virtual reality applications for commercialization over the next couple years.

The AT business segment also includes the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Vicon Industries, which provides end-to-end security solutions to meet the toughest corporate, industrial and governmental security challenges. Vicon’s products include browser-based video monitoring systems and analytics-based recognition systems, cameras, servers, and access control systems for every aspect of security and surveillance in industrial and commercial facilities, federal prisons, hospitals, universities, schools, and federal and state government offices. Vicon provides cutting edge, mission critical security and video surveillance solutions utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) based data algorithms.

Industrial Services (IS)

Cemtrex’s IS segment, offers single-source expertise and services for rigging, millwrighting, in plant maintenance, equipment erection, relocation, and disassembly to diversified customers. We install high precision equipment in a wide variety of industrial markets like automotive, printing & graphics, industrial automation, packaging, and chemicals, among others. We are a leading provider of reliability-driven maintenance and contracting solutions for the machinery, packaging, printing, chemical, and other manufacturing markets. The focus is on customers seeking to achieve greater asset utilization and reliability to cut costs and increase production from existing assets, including small projects, sustaining capital, turnarounds, maintenance, specialty welding services, and high-quality scaffolding.

Acquisition of Virtual Driver Interactive

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.

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. The Company offers comprehensive training for new teen and novice drivers, along with advanced training for corporate fleets and truck drivers. VDI’s wide range of training courses and system options provide customers with highly portable, affordable and effective solutions, all while focusing on the dangers of distracted driving. Result for VDI will be reported under the AT segment.

The Company paid $900,000 in cash and issued a Note payable in the amount of $439,774. This note carries interest of 5% and is payable in two installments of $239,774 plus accumulated interest on October 26, 2021, and $200,000 plus accumulated interest on October 26, 2022. Additionally, the Company paid contingent consideration of $175,428 in May 2021. There is no further contingent consideration specified in the purchase agreement. The Company has accounted for this acquisition as a business combination and is in the process of calculating the allocation of purchase price. All amounts paid have been included in goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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 using the fair value method. No impairment has been recorded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021.

Potential Impacts of COVID-19 on our Business

The current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business operations and the results of our operations in this fiscal year, primarily with delays in expected orders by many customers and new product development. Overall bookings level in both business segments have been impacted. In addition, due to delays in certain supply chain areas, the expected launch times of our new products and new versions of existing products have been delayed for several months. We are also starting to see the costs of certain components that are facing shortages, increase in price which may affect gross margins.

The broader implications of COVID-19 on our results from operations going forward remains uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to cause adverse effects to our customers, suppliers or business partners in locations that have or will experience more pronounced disruptions, which could result in a reduction to future revenue and manufacturing output as well as delays in our new product development activities.

The extent of the pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact both within and outside the jurisdictions where we operate, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

NOTE 2 – INTERIM STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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, 2020, of Cemtrex Inc.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020, adjusted and restated as further discussed in Note 2 of these financial statements. Additionally, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss), the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and notes to the financial statements related to the results of the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2020, have been restated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cemtrex Advanced Technologies Inc., Cemtrex Ltd., Cemtrex Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Griffin Filters, LLC, Cemtrex XR Inc., and Advanced Industrial Services, Inc. and the Company’s majority owned subsidiary Vicon Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Telesite USA, IQInVision, Vicon Industries Ltd., and Vicon Systems, Ltd. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restatement of Financial Statements

Background

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 at 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.

As part of the restatement investigation, it was determined that the Company did not follow GAAP in the treatment of its Series 1 Preferred dividends. The Company currently has a deficit in retained earnings and in accordance with guidance has reversed the accrual for dividends payable and placed the amount of the accrual back into retained earnings.

Position and Adjusting Entries

The Company has determined that these transactions are not material in the years that they occurred and conclude that prior financial reports can be relied upon. The Company’s determination is based on the following: The adjustments do not cause any changes to the previously reported cash and debt balances as of the end of each of the periods in FY 2019 and 2020. The adjustments also do not cause any changes to revenues in any of the prior periods. In addition, the Company expects to maintain compliance with its debt covenants based on a preliminary review of the covenants for all the impacted periods. The Company has also determined that the adjustments have little effect on the trend of earnings over the last three fiscal years. In 2017 the operations of the Company were vastly different with both the environmental and circuit board manufacturing segments accounting for approximately 75% of revenues. These businesses are now either sold or discontinued. The current reported 2017 financial statements of the Company do not give an accurate representation of the Company today because only 16% of the $120M business operations are still a part of current operations.

The table below represents the balances of the affected accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2020.

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 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 this reporting period. 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).

Accounting Pronouncements

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, 2020, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued amended guidance, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, to remove certain exceptions to the general principles from ASC 740 - Income Taxes, and to improve consistent application of U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company on October 1, 2021; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures, results of operations and financial position.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU No. 2020-04”). The update provides optional guidance for a limited period to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) contract modifications on financial reporting caused by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2020. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or the related disclosures.

NOTE 3 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, the following items were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect is anti-dilutive:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	March 31,				March 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

Warrants to purchase shares		433,965		433,965		433,965		433,965
Options		880,049		1,050,000		944,757		1,050,000

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is applied to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance for fair value measurements are described below:

Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Our Level 1 assets include cash equivalents, banker’s acceptances, trading securities investments and investment funds. We measure trading securities investments and investment funds at quoted market prices as they are traded in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified contractual term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Level 3 assets and liabilities include cost method investments. Quantitative information for Level 3 assets and liabilities reviewed at each reporting period includes indicators of significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, business prospects of the investee, and financial indicators of the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s fair value assets at March 31, 2021 are as follows.

	Quoted Prices
	in Active		Significant
	Markets for		Other		Significant		Balance
	Identical Assets		Observable Inputs		Unobservable Inputs		as of March 31,

NOTE 10 – LEASES

ASC 842, “Leases”, requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at either the effective date (the “effective date method”) or the beginning of the earliest period presented (the “comparative method”) using a modified retrospective approach. Under the effective date method, the Company’s comparative period reporting is unchanged. In contrast, under the comparative method, the Company’s date of initial application is the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the Topic 842 transition guidance is then applied to all comparative periods presented. Further, under either transition method, the standard includes certain practical expedients intended to ease the burden of adoption. The Company adopted ASC 842 October 1, 2019, using the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:

●

whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease;

●

lease classification for expired or existing leases; and

●

whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842.

The Company also made the accounting policy decision not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

The Company entered into a financing lease for a single vehicle in the Industrial services segment with a term of 3 years. The Company enters into operating leases for its facilities in New York, United Kingdom, and India, as well as for vehicles for use in our Industrial Services segment. The operating lease terms range from 2 to 7 years. The Company excluded the renewal option on its applicable facility leases from the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Except for historical information contained in this report, the matters discussed are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “may”, “plans”, “potential” and “intends” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, identify forward-looking statements. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company’s management. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the effect of business and economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and their pricing; unexpected manufacturing or supplier problems; the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient credit arrangements; changes in governmental standards by which our environmental control products are evaluated and the risk factors reported from time to time in the Company’s SEC reports, including its recent report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

General Overview

Now the Company has two business segments, consisting of (i) Advanced Technologies (AT) and (ii) Industrial Services (IS).

Industrial Services (IS)

Significant 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 “significant”, 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 significant 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, 2020.

Our Industrial Services segment revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2021, decreased by $2,986,119 or 27%, to $7,936,178 from $10,922,297 for the six months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease is mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit for the six months ended March 31, 2021, was $7,934,354 or 44% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $10,694,590 or 44% of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2020. Gross profit decreased in the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020, due to lower revenues. The Company’s gross profit margins vary from product to product and from customer to customer.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2021, increased $634,700 or 6% to $10,667,181 from $10,032,481 for the six months ended March 31, 2020. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was 59% and 41% of revenues for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2021, and 2020. The increase in General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of revenue is the reduction in revenues from the same period last year and the increase on a dollar per dollar basis is the result of increased personnel, legal and accounting fees, and marketing and sales expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2021, was $1,275,722 compared to $781,519 for the six months ended March 31, 2020. Research and Development expenses are primarily related to the Advanced Technologies Segment’s development of proprietary technology and further developments of the SmartDesk and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and next generation solutions associated with security and surveillance systems software.

Other Income/(Expense)

Other income/(expense) for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021 was $4,847,080 as compared to $(1,158,703) for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2020. Other income/(expense) for the six months ended March 31, 2021, included the following one-time items (i) the settlement with Aron Govil (see Note 2), generated other income of $3,674,165, (ii) employee retention credits of $736,899. Additionally, the company had realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities of $1,869,366.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021 the Company recorded an income tax provision of $127,431 compared to $189,543 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. 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 and the Company’s projected ability to utilize net loss carryforwards.

Net income/(loss) attributable to Cemtrex, Inc. shareholders

The Company had a net income attributable to Cemtrex, Inc. shareholders of $711,100, or 4% of revenues, for the six-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to a net loss attributable to Cemtrex, Inc. shareholders of $1,654,719 or 7% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net income/(loss) attributable to Cemtrex, Inc. shareholders increased in the first and second quarters as compared to the same period last year was primarily due to other income items mentioned above.

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 $19,962,805 at March 31, 2021, compared to $23,285,122 at September 30, 2020. This includes cash and equivalents and restricted cash of $17,280,660 at March 31, 2021, and $21,072,859 at September 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the reduction of the Company’s cash and equivalents, and trade receivables during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2021.

Accounts receivable decreased $1,283,505 or 19% to $5,403,292 at March 31, 2021, from $6,686,797 at September 30, 2020. The decrease in accounts receivable is attributable to lower revenues in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2021 due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Inventories increased $565,002 or 8% to $7,358,808 at March 31, 2021, from $6,793,806 at September 30, 2020. The increase inventories is attributable to the purchase of inventories for new products the Company plans to ship in the future.

Operating activities used $2,856,654 cash for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to using $1,370,703 cash for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the decrease in the Company’s accounts receivable, as compared to the same period a year ago.

Investment activities used $110,129 of cash for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to using cash of $3,794,158 during the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. Investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 were driven by the Company’s investment in Virtual Driver Interactive, MasterpieceVR Software, purchase of fixed assets, and marketable securities transactions.

Financing activities used $754,748 of cash in the six-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to providing cash of $6,564,694 in the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. Financing activities were primarily driven by payments on bank loans and notes payable and proceeds from the second round of Paycheck Protection Program loans.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash generated by operations is sufficient to meet the capital demands of our current operations during the 2021 fiscal year (ending September 30, 2021). 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.

Overall, there is no guarantee that cash flow from our existing or future operations and any external capital that we may be able to raise will be sufficient to meet our expansion goals and working capital needs.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures reporting as promulgated under the Exchange Act is defined as controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our CEO and our CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2021, there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the Company lacking sufficient accounting personnel. The shortage of accounting personal resulted in the Company lacking entity level controls around the review of period-end reporting processes, accounting policies and public disclosures. This deficiency is common in small companies, similar to us, with limited personnel.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with GAAP.

In order to mitigate the material weakness, the Board of Directors has assigned a priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Our Board of Directors will work with management to continuously review controls and procedures to identified deficiencies and implement remediation within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

While there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company is taking steps to improve its internal controls by obtaining additional accounting personnel.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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 our company have been detected.
