On
April
27, 1998, the Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware under the name
“Diversified American Holdings, Inc.” On November 13, 1998, the Company’s name
was changed to “Strateginet, Inc.” The Company subsequently changed its name to
“Cemtrex Inc.” on December 16, 2004.
On
December 30, 2004, the Company purchased certain assets from Ducon Technologies,
Inc., which related to a business engaged in designing, assembling, selling
and
maintaining emission monitors to utilities and industries. Ducon Technologies
Inc. is owned by Texxar Inc. a private corporation. The sole owner of Texxar,
Inc. is Arun Govil, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and
President of the Company. In consideration for the asset purchase, the Company
issued to Ducon Technologies, Inc. 3,250,000 shares of its common stock. The
shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and/or Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On
April
30, 2007, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership
interests of Griffin Filters LLC, (“Griffin”) a company established since 1971
and engaged in the design, engineering & supplying of industrial air
filtration equipment from its President. Arun Govil, the Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer, Treasurer and President of the Company, was the owner of
100%
of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Griffin. The Company
purchased 100% ownership in Griffin for a purchase price of $ 2,750,000.00.
The
Company completed the Griffin purchase by (i) paying cash of $700,000.00, (ii)
issuing 20,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $750,000.00 and (iii)
issuing a four year convertible debenture in the amount of $1,300,000.00, paying
interest of 8.0% per year and convertible into 30,000,000 shares of common
stock. Griffin had sales and net income of $3,297,409 and $145, 981 respectively
for fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. Griffin is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
The
Company designs, engineers, assembles and sells emission monitoring equipment
and instruments to the chemicals, pulp and paper, steel, power, coal and
petrochemical industries, as well as to municipalities, hospitals, and state
and
federal governments. Our emission monitoring systems are installed at the
exhaust stacks of industrial facilities and are used to measure the outlet
flue
gas concentrations of regulated pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen
chloride, hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxides, ammonia, nitrogen oxide, carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other regulated pollutants. Through use of our
equipment and instrumentation, our clients can monitor the exhausts to the
atmosphere from their facilities and comply with Environmental Protection Agency
and state and local emission regulations on dust, particulate, fumes, acid
gases
and other regulated pollutants into the atmosphere.
The
Company is also getting involved in providing turnkey services for carbon credit
projects from abatement of greenhouse gases pursuant to Kyoto protocol and
assists project owners in selling of carbon credits globally. Carbon
Credits are emission offsets that are generated from greenhouse gases abatement,
renewable energy such as solar & wind, and energy efficiency projects which
displace carbon emissions from traditional fossil fuel sources like coal, oil
or
gas with the subsequent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Companies,
agencies and governments buy, sell, bank and trade Carbon Credits called
Certified Emission Reductions or CERs. Cemtrex
provides consulting services for such projects and arranges for investment
equity and the sales of CERs for its customers.
INDUSTRY
BACKGROUND
The
market for environmental control systems and technologies is directly dependent
upon governmental regulations and their enforcement. During the past three
decades, federal, state and local governments have realized the contaminated
air
poses significant threats to public health and safety, and, in response, have
enacted legislation designed to curb emissions of a variety of air pollutants.
Management believes that the existence of governmental regulations creates
demand for Company’s emission monitoring equipment and environmental control
systems.
These
governmental regulations affect nearly every industrial activity. The principal
federal legislation that was created is the Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended
9th Clean Air Act). This legislation requires compliance with ambient air
quality standards and empowers the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
establish and enforce limits on the emissions of various pollutants from
specific types of facilities. The states have primary responsibility for
implementing these standards and, in some cases, have adopted standards more
stringent than those established by the EPA. In 1990, amendments to the Clean
Air Act were adopted which address, among other things, the country acid rain
problem by imposing strict control on the emissions of sulfur dioxide from
power
plants. During 1997, EPA approved regulations for ozone related emissions and
in
1998 EPA issued regulations requiring utilities in 22 states to significantly
reduce Nitrogen oxides emissions.
According
to scientists, the Earth's surface has risen in temperature by about 1 degree
Fahrenheit in the past century. There is increasing evidence that certain human
activities are contributing to this change in temperature through activities
that increase the levels of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, methane,
and nitrous oxide, in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat that would
normally escape back into the atmosphere, thus increasing the Earth's natural
greenhouse effect and increasing temperature over time.
The
Earth's climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering
the
chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse
gases—primarily carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH4),
and
nitrous oxide (NOx).
The
heat-trapping property of these gases is undisputed. Although uncertainty exists
about exactly how Earth's climate responds to these gases, global temperatures
are rising.
EPA
Clean Air market Programs
EPA’s
Clean air market programs include various market-based regulatory programs
designed to improve air quality. Clean air markets include various market-based
regulatory programs designed to improve air quality by reducing outdoor
concentrations of fine particles, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury,
ozone and other significant air emissions. The most well-known of these programs
are EPA’s Acid
Rain Program
and the
NOx
Trading Programs,
which
reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2)
and
nitrogen oxides (NOx)-compounds
produced by fossil fuel combustion.
Acid
Rain Program
The
goal
of the Acid Rain Program is to achieve significant environmental and public
health benefits through reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide
(SO2)
and
nitrogen oxides (NOx),
the
primary causes of acid rain. To achieve this goal at the lowest cost to society,
the program employs both traditional and innovative, market-based approaches
for
controlling air pollution. In addition, the program encourages energy efficiency
and pollution prevention.
"Acid
rain" is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition
(deposited material) from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts
of nitric and sulfuric acids. The precursors, or chemical forerunners, of acid
rain formation result from both natural sources, such as volcanoes and decaying
vegetation, and man-made sources, primarily emissions of SO2
and
NOx
resulting
from fossil fuel combustion. In the United States, roughly 2/3 of all
SO2
and 1/4
of all NOx
come
from electric power generation that relies on burning fossil fuels, like
coal. Acid rain occurs when these gases react in the atmosphere with
water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form various acidic compounds. The result
is a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxides are released from power plants and other sources, prevailing
winds blow these compounds across state and national borders, sometimes over
hundreds of miles.
NOx
Trading Program
The
goal
of the NOx Trading Program is to reduce the transport of ground-level ozone
across large distances. The Ozone
Transport Commission (OTC) NOx
Budget Program
was
implemented from 1999 to 2002 and was replaced by the NOx
Budget Trading Program—also
known as the “NOx
SIP
Call”—in 2003. The NOx
SIP
Call
Program
is a market-based cap and trade program created to reduce emissions of nitrogen
oxides (NOx)
from
power plants and other large combustion sources in the eastern United States.
NOx is a prime ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone (smog), a
pervasive air pollution problem in many areas of the eastern United States.
The
NOx
Budget
Trading Program was designed to reduce NOx
emissions during the warm summer months, referred to as the ozone season, when
ground-level ozone concentrations are highest.
Clean
Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)
On
March
10, 2005, EPA issued the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). This rule provides
states with a solution to the problem of power plant pollution that drifts
from
one state to another. CAIR covers 28 eastern states and the District of
Columbia. The rule uses a cap and trade system to reduce the target
pollutants—sulfur dioxide (SO2)
and
nitrogen oxides (NOx)—by
70
percent.
The
goal
of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) is to permanently cap emissions of
SO2
and
NOx
in the
eastern U.S. States must achieve the required emission reductions using one
of
two compliance options: (1) meet the state’s emission budget by requiring power
plants to participate in an EPA-administered interstate cap and trade system,
or
(2) meet an individual state emissions budget through measures of the state’s
choosing.
Clean
Air Mercury Rule (CAMR)
On
March
15, 2005, EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) to permanently cap and
reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants for the first time ever.
This rule makes the United States the first country in the world to regulate
mercury emissions from utilities.
The
goal
of the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) is to reduce mercury emissions from
coal-fired power plants through “standards of performance” for new and existing
utilities and a market-based cap and trade program.
CAMR
establishes “standards of performance” limiting mercury emissions from new and
existing coal-fired power plants, and creates a market-based cap and trade
program that will reduce nationwide utility emissions of mercury in two distinct
phases. The first phase cap is 38 tons and emissions will be reduced by taking
advantage of “co-benefit” reductions—that is, mercury reductions achieved by
reducing sulfur dioxide (SO2)
and
nitrogen oxides (NOx)
emissions under Clean
Air Interstate Rule (CAIR).
In the
second phase, due in 2018, coal-fired power plants will be subject to a second
cap, which will reduce emissions to 15 tons upon full
implementation.
EPA
Emission Monitoring Requirements
EPA’s
emissions monitoring requirements are designed to ensure the compliance with
its
current regulations pursuant to various programs. The emission monitoring
requirements ensure that the emissions data collected is of a known, consistent,
and high quality, and that the mass emissions data from source to source are
collected in an equitable manner. This is essential to support the Clean Air
Markets Program’s mission of promoting market-based trading programs as a means
for solving air quality problems
Continuous
emissions monitoring (CEM) is instrumental in ensuring that the mandated
reductions of SO2,
NOx
mercury
and other pollutants are achieved. While traditional emissions limitation
programs have required facilities to meet specific emissions rates, the current
Program requires an accounting of each ton of emissions from each regulated
unit. Compliance is then determined through a direct comparison of total annual
emissions reported by CEM and allowances held for the unit.
CEM
is
the continuous measurement of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere in exhaust
gases from combustion or industrial processes. EPA has established requirements
for the continuous monitoring of SO2,
volumetric flow, NOx,
diluent
gas, and opacity for units regulated under the Acid Rain Program. In addition,
procedures for monitoring or estimating carbon dioxide (CO2)
are
specified. The CEM rule also contains requirements for equipment performance
specifications, certification procedures, and recordkeeping and reporting.
The
Acid
Rain Program uses a market-based approach to reduce SO2
emissions in a cost-effective manner. (One allowance is an authorization to
emit
1 ton of SO2
during
or after a specified calendar year; a utility may buy, sell, or hold allowances
as part of its compliance strategy.) Complete and accurate emissions data are
key to implementing this market-based approach.
An
essential feature of smoothly operating markets is a method for measuring the
commodity being traded. The CEM data supplies the gold standard to back up
the
paper currency of emissions allowances. The CEM requirements, therefore,
management believes instills confidence in the market-based approach by
verifying the existence and value of the traded allowance.
The
owner
or operator of a unit regulated under the Acid Rain Program must install CEM
systems on the unit unless otherwise specified in the regulation. CEM systems
include:
|
·
|
An
SO2
pollutant concentration monitor.
|
|
·
|
A
NOx
pollutant concentration monitor.
|
|
·
|
A
volumetric flow monitor.
|
|
·
|
A
diluent gas (O2
or
CO2)
monitor.
|
|
·
|
A
computer-based data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) for recording
and performing calculations with the data.
|
All
CEM
systems must be in continuous operation and must be able to sample, analyze,
and
record data at least every 15 minutes. All emissions and flow data will be
reduced to 1-hour averages. The rule specifies procedures for converting the
hourly emissions data into the appropriate units of measure.
The
following is a summary of monitoring method requirements and options:
|
·
|
All
existing coal-fired units serving a generator greater than 25 megawatts
and all new coal units must use CEMs for SO2,
NOx,
flow, and opacity.
|
|
·
|
Units
burning natural gas may determine SO2
mass emissions by: (1) measuring heat input with a gas flowmeter
and using
a default emission rate; or (2) sampling and analyzing gas daily
for
sulfur and using the volume of gas combusted; or (3) using CEMs.
|
|
·
|
Units
burning oil may monitor SO2
mass emissions by one of the following methods:
|
|
1.
|
daily
manual oil sampling and analysis plus oil flow meter (to continuously
monitor oil usage)
|
|
2.
|
sampling
and analysis of diesel fuel oil as-delivered plus oil flow meter
|
|
3.
|
automatic
continuous oil sampling plus oil flow meter
|
|
·
|
Gas-fired
and oil-fired base-loaded units must use NOx
CEMs.
|
|
·
|
Gas-fired
peaking units and oil-fired peaking units may either estimate
NOx
emissions by using site-specific emission correlations and periodic
stack
testing to verify continued representativeness of the correlations,
or use
NOx
CEMS. The emission correlation method has been significantly streamlined
in the revised rule.
|
|
·
|
All
gas-fired units using natural gas for at least 90 percent of their
annual
heat input and units burning diesel fuel oil are exempt from opacity
monitoring.
|
|
·
|
For
CO2
all units can use either (1) a mass balance estimation, or (2)
CO2
CEMs, or (3) O2
CEMs in order to estimate CO2
emissions.

PRODUCTS
The
Company offers a range of products and systems, incorporating diverse
technologies, to address the needs of a wide variety of industries and their
environmental regulations. Management believes that the Company provides a
single source responsibility for design, engineering, assembly, installation
and
maintenance of systems to its customers. The
Company’s products are designed to operate so as to allow its users to determine
their compliance with the latest governmental emissions regulations. The
Company’s products measure the concentrations of various regulated pollutants in
the flue gases discharging the exhaust stacks at various utilities and
industries.
The
Company's current products include the following:
Opacity
monitor: Compliance & non-compliance types
Management
believes that the Company’s Laser Opacity monitor provides the highest accuracy
and long-term reliability available for stack opacity and dust measurements.
An
EPA-compliant monitoring system, the monitor is a lightweight, efficient
solution for determining opacity or dust concentration in stack gases. Proven
in
many installations worldwide, it advances the state of opacity monitoring with
higher levels of accuracy, flexible installation and reduced long-term
maintenance
Extractive
Continuous Emission Monitors (CEMS)
Cemtrex
provides direct-extractive
and
dilution-extractive
CEMS
equipment & systems that are applicable for utilities, industrial boilers,
FGD systems, SCR-NOx control, furnaces, gas turbines, process heaters,
incinerators, and process controls. In addition to traditional CEMS designed
for
maximum reliability and minimal maintenance in monitoring criteria pollutants,
the Company can also accurately quantify other gaseous compounds through in-situ
or extractive FTIR systems. The Company’s Extractive CEMS can be configured to
monitor for one or all of the following: • NOx • SO2 • CO2 • O2 • CO • THC •
Mercury • H2S • HCl & HF Acid • NH3 • Particulate • Opacity • Volumetric
Flow and Moisture.
Ammonia
Analyzer
The
flue
gas stream which contain ammonia, nitrogen oxides and in some cases sulfur
dioxide utilize Ultra Violet radiation techniques for measurements. All these
components absorb UV radiation, and therefore can be monitored by process
analyzers that utilize UV absorbance techniques for detection.
Mercury
Analyzer
The
EPA
Clean Air Mercury rule requires that all coal fired power plants must provide
continuous mercury monitoring by 2009. Management believes that Cemtrex's SM4
mercury monitor, a result of 10 years experience in mercury monitoring business,
provides reliable online measurements at a much lower cost than any other
competing model in the market. Cemtrex SM4 is the first instrument working
on a
thermo catalytic principle avoiding wet chemical sample treatment. As a
consequence, the Company has found that maintenance demand has been drastically
minimized. We believe that it is the only monitor that required no maintenance
at a coal fired utility wet stack, no carrier gases, no water and 95% data
availabilitySM4 uses straight extractive Teflon sheathed Hastelloy probe with
no
plugging or corrosion.
PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT
There
are
no products under development at the present time.
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
its equipment and products. The Company does not manufacture or fabricate its
own products or systems. The Company relies on 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 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 provide replacement and spare parts and repair and refurbishment
services for our emission monitoring systems following the expiration of our
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 our 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 our products, systems and services. Additionally, the Company’s
management believes that the successful performance of the Company’s installed
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.
We
obtain
virtually all our 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 our
products. Other companies offer products that potential customers may
consider to be acceptable alternatives to our products and
services. We face direct competition from companies with far greater
financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources, including
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Tekran Instruments Corporation, Altech
Environment USA, Shaw Group, and Horiba Instruments Inc. in the emissions
monitoring business.
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
Over
the
years, the Company has developed proprietary technologies that give us 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. The Company
has
not filed any patents.
MARKETING
The
Company relies on manufacturing representatives, distributors, direct
salespersons, magazine advertisements, internet advertising, trade shows, trade
directories and catalogue listings to market our products and services. The
Company uses more than eight manufacturing sales representatives in the United
States backed by our senior 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 our 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
us and our customers during the installation phase of our 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 our engineering
personnel. Thereafter, the Company’s sales and engineering personnel jointly
prepare a budget for future planning, a 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 refining, power, chemical, mining
and metallurgical processing. Historically, most of our 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 emission monitoring
systems and environmental management solutions. No one single customer accounts
for a large percentage of our annual sales.
On
most
projects, 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.
TECHNOLOGY
The
Company has developed a broad range of emission monitoring technological base.
The Company’s equipment and instruments are used: (i) to measure particulate,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury and sulfur dioxide from coal-fired
power plants, (ii) to measure particulate from cement plants, (iii) to measure
hydrocarbons, particulate and sulfur dioxide from refineries, (iv) to measure
hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons and other regulated
pollutants from chemical plants, steel plants, incinerators and other industrial
exhausts. Our emission monitors are capable of meeting all current federal
and
local emission monitoring standards. The Company has not filed any patents
with
respect to its technology.
BONDING
AND INSURANCE
While
only a very few of our contracts require the Company to procure bid and
performance bonds, such requirements are prevalent for large projects or
projects partially or fully funded by federal, state or local governments.
A bid
bond guarantees that a bidder will execute a contract if it is awarded the
job
and a performance bond guarantees performance of the contract. The Company
does
not presently have a bank credit line to back bid or performance bonds. Thus,
the Company cannot bid on certain contracts.
In
certain cases, the Company is able to secure large contracts by accepting
progress payments with retention provisions in lieu of bonds.
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 is adequate for our current business
needs.
GOVERNMENT
REGULATION
Significant
environmental laws, particularly the Federal Clean Air Act, have been enacted
in
response to public concern about the environment. The Company believe that
compliance with and enforcement of these laws and regulations create the demand
for our products and systems and largely determine the level of expenditures
that customers will make to monitor the emissions from their facilities. 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.
The
1990
amendments to the Federal Clean Air Act require, among other matters, reductions
in the emission of sulfur oxides, believed to be the cause of "acid rain,"
in
the emission of 189 identified hazardous air pollutants and toxic substances
and
the installation of equipment and systems which will contain certain named
toxic
substances used in industrial processes in the event of sudden, accidental,
high-volume releases. Such amendments also extend regulatory coverage to many
facilities previously exempt due to their small size and require the EPA to
identify those industries which will be required to install the mandated control
technology for the industry to reduce the emission of hazardous air pollutants
from their respective plants and facilities. The Montreal Protocol, adopted
in
1987, as well as EPA regulations issued in 1992, call for the phase-out of
CFCs.
In addition, regulations promulgated by the EPA in 1993 further limit the
concentration of pollutants, such as hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide,
chlorine, heavy metals and hazardous solid substances in the form of extremely
fine dust, from sewage sludge incinerators. Sewage sludge facilities are
required to comply with these regulations. Compliance with all these regulations
can only be achieved by first monitoring the pertinent emission
levels.
EMPLOYEES
The
Company employs 21 full time and three part time employees, consisting of one
executive officer, five managers, ten technical engineers, and five clerical
and
administrative support persons. None of our employees are represented by a
labor
union. In addition, the Company utilizes commission sales personnel and contract
design engineers, on an as needed basis. There are no employment
agreements.
FACILITIES
The
Company does not own any real estate.
The
Company leases its principal office at Farmingdale, New York, 4000 square feet
of office and warehouse/shop space in a single story commercial structure on
a
month to month lease from Ducon Technologies Inc., at a monthly rental of
2,157.00. The Company’s subsidiary Griffin Filters LLC leases approx. 10,000 sq.
ft. of office and warehouse space in Liverpool, New York from a third party
in a
five year lease at a monthly rent of $ 4,225.00 expiring on March 30, 2012.
The
Company has no plans to acquire any property in the immediate future. The
Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs through
the next six months, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space
will be available to accommodate expansion of the Company's operations on
commercially reasonable terms, although there can be no assurance in this
regard. There are no written agreements.
ITEM
1A RISK
FACTORS
An
Investment in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider
the
following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially
harmed.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
o
We are
substantially dependent upon
the
success and market acceptance of our technology. The failure of the emissions
monitoring and controls market to develop as we anticipate, would adversely
affect our business.
The
Company's success is largely dependent on increased market acceptance of our
emission monitoring equipment and control systems. .
If
acceptance of emissions monitoring equipment does not continue to grow, then
the
Company’s revenues may be significantly reduced.
o
If
we are
unable to develop new products, our competitors may develop and market products
with better features that may reduce demand for our potential
products.
The
Company may not be able to introduce any new products or any enhancements to
its
existing products on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, the introduction
by
the Company of any new products could adversely affect the sales of certain
of
its existing products. If the Company's competitors develop innovative emissions
testing technology that are superior to the Company's products or if the Company
fails to accurately anticipate market trends and respond on a timely basis
with
its own innovations, the Company may not achieve sufficient growth in its
revenues to attain profitability.
o
We
have
incurred losses for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, and we may incur
losses for the foreseeable future.
We
had
net loss of $123,565 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. These losses
have resulted principally from expenses incurred in the extensive demonstration
testing of its new SM4 compliance mercury monitors at various utility sites
and
the low gross margin product line of Griffin Filters. We may continue to incur
significant expenditures related to research and development, selling and
marketing and general and administrative activities as well as capital
expenditures and anticipate that our expenses and losses may increase in the
foreseeable future as we expand our business. Further, as a public company
we
will also incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did
not
incur as a private company. To achieve profitability, we will need to generate
significant additional revenues with significantly improved gross margins.
It is
uncertain when, if ever, we will return to profitability. Even if we were to
become profitable, we might not be able to sustain or increase profitability
on
a quarterly or annual basis.
o
The
Company faces constant changes in governmental standards by which our products
are evaluated.
The
Company believes that, due to the constant focus on the environment and clean
air standards throughout the world, a requirement in the future to adhere to
new
and more stringent regulations both domestically and abroad is possible as
governmental agencies seek to improve standards required for certification
of
products intended to promote clean air. In the event our products
fail to meet these ever-changing standards, some or all of our products may
become obsolete.
o
The
future
growth of our business depends, in part, on enforcement of existing
emissions-related environmental regulations and further tightening of emission
standards worldwide.
The
Company expects that the future business growth will be driven, in part, by
the
enforcement of existing emissions-related environmental regulations and
tightening of emissions standards worldwide. If such standards do not
continue to become stricter or are loosened or are not enforced by governmental
authorities, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results, financial condition and long-term prospects.
o
We
may
incur substantial costs enforcing our proprietary information, defending against
third-party patents, invalidating third-party patents or licensing third-party
intellectual property, as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating
to patent and other intellectual property rights.
The
Company considers its technology and procedures proprietary. In particular,
the
Company depends substantially on its flexibility to develop custom engineered
solutions for various applications and be responsive to customer needs. The
Company has not filed for any patents for its technologies.
The
Company may be notified of claims that it has infringed a third party's
intellectual property. Even if such claims are not valid, they could subject
the
Company to significant costs. In addition, it may be necessary in the future
to
enforce the Company's intellectual property rights to determine the validity
and
scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation may also be necessary
to
defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. An adverse
outcome in litigation or any similar proceedings could force the Company to
take
actions that could harm its business. These include: (i) ceasing to sell
products that contain allegedly infringing property; (ii) obtaining licenses
to
the relevant intellectual property which the Company may not be able to obtain
on terms that are acceptable, or at all; (iii) indemnifying certain customers
or
strategic partners if it is determined that the Company has infringed upon
or
misappropriated another party's intellectual property; and (iv) redesigning
products that embody allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any of these
results could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition
and
results of operations. In addition, the cost of defending or asserting any
intellectual property claim, both in legal fees and expenses, and the diversion
of management resources, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be
significant.
o
Product
defects could cause the Company to incur significant product liability,
warranty, repair and support costs and damage its reputation which would have
a
material adverse effect on its business.
Although
the Company rigorously tests its products, defects may be discovered in future
or existing products. These defects could cause the Company to incur significant
warranty, support and repair costs and divert the attention of its research
and
development personnel. It could also significantly damage the Company's
reputation and relationship with its distributors and customers which would
adversely affect its business. In addition, such defects could result in
personal injury or financial or other damages to customers who may seek damages
with respect to such losses. A product liability claim against the Company,
even
if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.
o
The
markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors
have significantly greater resources than we do.
There
is
significant competition among companies that provide emissions monitoring
systems. Several companies market products that compete directly with
our products. Other companies offer products that potential customers
may consider to be acceptable alternatives to our products and
services. We face direct competition from companies with far greater
financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources, including
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Tekran Instruments Corporation, Altech
Environment USA, Shaw Group, and Horiba Instruments Inc. in the emissions
monitoring business. Newly developed products could be more effective and cost
efficient than our current or future products. Many of the current
and potential future competitors have substantially more engineering, sales
and
marketing capabilities and broader product lines than we
have.
o
The
Company’s results may fluctuate due to certain regulatory, marketing and
competitive factors over which we have little or no control.
The
factors listed below, some of which we cannot control, may cause our revenue
and
results of operations to fluctuate significantly:
|
·
|
the
existence and
enforcement of government environmental regulations. If these regulations
are not maintained or enforced then the market for Company’s products
could deteriorate;
|
|
·
|
Retaining
and keeping qualified employees and management
personnel;
|
|
·
|
Ability
to upgrade our products to keep up with the changing market place
requirements;
|
|
·
|
Ability
to keep up with our competitors who have much higher resources than
us;
|
|
·
|
Ability
to find sub suppliers and sub contractors to assemble and install
our
products;
|
|
·
|
General
economic conditions of the industry and the ability of potential
customers
to spend money on setting up new industries that require our
products;
|
|
·
|
Ability
to maintain or raise adequate working capital required for the operations
and future growth; and
|
|
·
|
Ability
to retain our CEO and other senior key
personnel.
|
o
The
loss of our senior management and failure to attract and retain qualified
personnel in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute
our
growth strategy, resulting a slower rate of growth.
We
depend
on the continued service of our senior management. Due to the nature of our
business, we may have difficulty locating and hiring qualified personnel and
retaining such personnel once hired. The loss of the services of any of our
key
personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced
personnel on acceptable terms, could limit our ability to execute our growth
strategy resulting in a slower rate of growth.
o
General
economic downturns in general would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
The
Company's operations may in the future experience substantial fluctuations
from
period to period as a consequence of general economic conditions affecting
consumer spending. Therefore, any economic downturns in general would have
a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
o
A
demand for payment of the outstanding loan or the conversion into non-assessable
share of common stock of the Company may have an adverse effect on the Company.
On
April
30, 2007, the Company issued a $1,300,000 Convertible Debenture to Arun Govil,
the Company’s Chairman, CEO, President and Treasurer, in conjunction with the
purchase of Griffin Filters, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement and Assignment
of
Membership Interests between Arun Govil and Cemtrex, Inc. The debenture carries
an 8% annual interest rate with interest payable semiannually in arrears on
the
first business day of January and July each year. The debenture principle is
due
and payable on April 30, 2011.
The
debenture has the right of conversion into 30,000,000 non-assessable shares
of
common stock of the Company at $0.001 (par value) per share. Conversion is
not
exercisable prior to December 31, 2007. Commencing December 31, 2007 and
continuing to April 30, 2011, the Debenture Holder shall have the right of
conversion subject o the terms and conditions of the debenture. In the event
the
face amount of the debenture is not fully converted on or before April 30,
2011,
the conversion rights will lapse.
Risks
related to investment in the common stock of the Company
o
We may
need additional funds in the future. We may be unable to obtain additional
funds
or if we obtain financing it may not be on terms favorable to us. You may lose
your entire investment.
Based
on
our current plans, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents along
with
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses
and capital requirements through December 31, 2008, although there is no
assurance of this result, we may need funds in the future. If our capital
resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we will have
to
raise additional funds. If we are unable to obtain additional funds on terms
favorable to us, we may be required to cease or reduce our operating activities.
o
If we
raise additional funds by selling additional shares of our capital stock, the
ownership interests of our stockholders will be diluted.
o
Our
stock trades on the Pink Sheets electronic quotation system.
The
Company’s Common Stock currently trades on the Pink Sheets electronic quotation
system under the symbol “CTEI.PK”. The Pink Sheets is a decentralized market
regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in which securities
are
traded via an electronic quotation system. There can be no assurance that a
trading market for the Company's shares will continue to exist in the future,
and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or
be
sustained. The market price of the shares of Common Stock is likely to be highly
volatile and may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or
anticipated fluctuations in the Company's operating results, announcements
of
technological innovations, new products or new contracts by the Company or
its
competitors, developments with respect to proprietary rights, adoption of new
government regulations affecting the environment, general market conditions
and
other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the
market price for the common stocks of technology companies. These types of
broad
market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's
common stock. See
Risk
Factor “Our stock price may be highly volatile” below.
o
Our
shares of common stock are thinly traded, so stockholders may be unable to
sell
at or near ask prices or at all if they need to sell shares to raise money
or
otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.
Our
common stock has from time to time been “thinly-traded,” meaning that the number
of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices
at
any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is
attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small
company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate
or
influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an
unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our
shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence,
there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares
is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large
and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous
sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give stockholders
any
assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common
shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be
sustained.
o
Our
common stock will be subject to “penny stock” rules which may be detrimental to
investors.
If
our
common stock is not listed on a national exchange or market, the trading market
for our common stock may become illiquid. Our common stock trades on the
over-the-counter electronic bulletin board and, therefore, is subject to the
requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with
any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock". The Securities and
Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock"
to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than
$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. The
securities will become subject to rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. For transactions
covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule
prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock
market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both
the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer
must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the
market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and
information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny
stock" rules may restrict the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell
the
Common Stock offered hereby in the secondary market.
o
We do
not anticipate paying any dividends.
No
dividends have been paid on the common stock of the Company. The Company does
not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future,
and anticipates that profits, if any, received from operations will be devoted
to the Company's future operations. Any decision to pay dividends will depend
upon the Company's profitability at the time, cash available and other relevant
factors.
o
Our
stock price may be highly volatile.
The
market price of our common stock, like that of many other technology companies,
has been highly volatile and may continue to be so in the future due to a wide
variety of factors, including:
|
·
|
announcements
of technological innovations by us, our collaborative partners or
our
present or potential competitors;
|
|
·
|
our
quarterly operating results and performance;
|
|
·
|
developments
or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary
rights;
|
|
·
|
litigation
and government proceedings;
|
|
·
|
changes
in government regulations;
|
|
·
|
economic
and other external factors; and
|
|
·
|
general
market conditions.
|
In
addition, potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock
by shareholders and
by
the Company could have an adverse effect on the market price of our
shares.
o
Our
principal shareholder has significant influence over our company which could
make it impossible for the public stockholders to influence the affairs of
the
Company.
Approximately
74% of our outstanding voting capital stock is beneficially held by Arun Govil
the Company’s Chairman, Chief executive officer, President and Treasurer. In
addition, Mr. Govil holds a promissory note that may be convertible into
30,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at his option. Consequently,
Mr. Govil will be able to control substantially all matters requiring approval
by the stockholders of the Company, including the election of all directors
and
approval of significant corporate transactions. This could make it impossible
for the public stockholders to influence the affairs of the Company.
The
following discussion of the financial condition and plan of operations contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The
following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial
statements which 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.
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.
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.
|
Net
Sales: Net
sales for 2007 increased by $2,809,412 or 388%, to $3,533,621, from
$724,209 for 2006. Sales growth increased during the year of 2007
primarily due to the acquisition of Griffin Filters in April 2007.
The
overall market demand for our existing business increased during
the last
year.
|
|
|
|
Gross
Profit :
Gross profit for 2007 increased $721,972 or 161%, to $1,169,344 which
made
up 33.1% of net sales, from $447,372 for 2006, which made up 61.8%
of net
sales. The lower gross margin in 2007 was a direct result of the
low gross
margin product line of Griffin Filters. In addition, gross profit
in the
existing product line decreased due to the extensive demonstration
testing
of its new SM4 compliance mercury monitors at various utility sites.
|
|
|
|
Operating
Expenses: Operating
expenses for 2007 increased $808,699, or 182%, to $1,253,417 from
$444,718
in 2006. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased in
2007 to
35.5% from 61.4% in 2006. The decrease in operating expenses was
primarily
due to acquisition of Griffin Filters and having a larger sales volume
in
relation to the same operating expenses for the existing product
line.
|
|
|
Net
Income/Loss: The
Company had a net
loss of ($123, 565) for 2007 as compared to a net income of $2,222
for
2006. The net loss in 2007 was a result of several factors including:
(i)
increased expenses in demonstration testing of the new SM4 mercury
product
line, (ii) low bookings and sales of the acquired business of griffin
Filters.
|
|
|
Provision
for Income Taxes: Our
effective state and federal tax rate, adjusted for the effect of
certain
credits and adjustments, was approximately 38% and 38% for 2007 and
2006,
respectively.
|
|
|
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 ($277,074) at September 30, 2007, compared to $200,669 at September
30, 2006. This included cash and cash equivalents of $143,830 and $29,279 at
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The reason for the decrease in
working capital was the acquisition of Griffin Filters and the cash flow of
certain ongoing projects at Griffin Filters where by costs have been incurred
prior to shipping and recognizing the related sale revenue.
Trade
receivables increased $567,457, or 266% at September 30, 2007 to $780,474 at
September 30, 2007 from $213,017 at September 30, 2006. The increase in accounts
receivable is attributable to receivables of Griffin Filters.
Inventories
increased $177,512 or 237% to $252,443 at September 30, 2007 from $74,931 at
September 30, 2006. The increase inventory was due to acquisition of Griffin
Filters.
Continuing
operations used $443,017 of cash in 2007, compared to generating $4,343 of
cash
in 2006. The decrease in cash flows was primarily related to the increase in
inventory combined with increase in accounts payable. Investing activities
for
continuing operations used $2,765,949 of cash during 2007, compared to no
activity during 2006. The use of cash by investing activities was primarily
attributable to the purchase of griffin Filters in April, 2007. The financing
activities in 2007 generated $2,437,483 in cash from issuance of convertible
debenture in the amount of $1,300,000 and sale of common stock in the amount
of
$1,128,500.
We
believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operations, is sufficient
to
meet the capital demands of our current operations during the 2008 fiscal year.
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 quite 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.
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
as
well as:
|
|
|
|
•
|
the
shortage of reliable market data regarding the emission monitoring
&
air filtration market,
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes
in external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting
process which might impact trends in our results of operations,
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Various
competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully
in the
marketplace.
|
In
light
of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the events
contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10 will
in
fact occur.
Item
7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are
exposed to various market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market
risk is the potential loss arising from adverse change in market rates and
prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For Cemtrex,
these
exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not hold
any
derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The
Company’s financial position is not materially affected by fluctuations in
currencies against the U.S. dollar, since there are no assets held outside
the
United States. Risks due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are
negligible, as the preponderance of our foreign sales occur over short periods
of time or are demarcated in U.S. dollars.
ITEM
3 PROPERTIES
The
Company does not own any real estate.
The
Company leases its principal office at Farmingdale, New York, 4000 square feet
of office and warehouse/shop space in a single story commercial structure on
a
month to month lease from Ducon Technologies Inc., at a monthly rental of
2,157.00. The Company’s subsidiary Griffin Filters LLC leases approx. 10,000 sq.
ft. of office and warehouse space in Liverpool, New York from a third party
in a
five year lease at a monthly rent of $ 4,225.00 expiring on March 30, 2012.
The
Company has no plans to acquire any property in the immediate future. The
Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs through
the next six months, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space
will be available to accommodate expansion of the Company's operations on
commercially reasonable terms, although there can be no assurance in this
regard. There are no written agreements.

(iii) the purchaser was sophisticated and accredited investors; (iv) the
offerings were not a "public offering" as defined in Section 4(2) due to the
insubstantial numbers of persons involved in such sales, size of the offering,
manner of the offering and number of securities offered; and (v) in addition,
the purchaser had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2)
since the purchaser agreed to and received security bearing a legend stating
that such security is restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities
Act. (These restrictions ensure that this security would not be immediately
redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a "public
offering").
Authorized
Capital Stock
On
August
21, 2007 the Company completed a 1:25 reverse split of our common
stock.
The
Company is authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par
value per share. On April 10, 2008, there were 34,327,861
shares
of
common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued
or
outstanding.
Our
Common Stock
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record
on
all matters to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders and do not have
pre-emptive rights. Cumulative voting is not permitted. This means that the
holders of shares entitled to exercise more than 50% of the voting rights in
the
election of directors, for example, will be able to elect all of our directors.
The
holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends and other distributions
as
and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available
therefor. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares to
be
issued in the merger will be, when issued pursuant to the merger agreement,
fully paid and nonassessable. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up,
the holders of our common stock would be entitled to share pro rata in the
distribution of all of our assets, if any, remaining after payment or provision
for payment of all our debts and obligations and preferred liquidation payments,
if any, to holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Shares of
our
common stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not
convertible into any other security or other property of us. No share of our
common stock is subject to any call or assessment.
Certain
Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware
Law
No
Classified Board of Directors. Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for our directors to be elected
annually for a term of one year.
Advance
Notice Provisions for Stockholder Proposals and Stockholder Nominations of
Directors.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that at an annual meeting of stockholders,
only such business will be conducted as will have been properly brought before
the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must
be
(a) specified in the notice of such meeting (or any supplement thereof,
given by or at the direction of the board of directors of us),
(b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of
the board of directors of us, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the
meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereto
in writing to our Secretary.
Delaware
Takeover Statute.
We are
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware
General
Corporation Law which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware
corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations
with
any “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date that
such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
|
•
|
|
before
that date, our board of directors has approved either the business
combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming
an interested stockholder;
|
|
•
|
|
upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming
an “interested stockholder,” the interested stockholder owned at least 85%
of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced,
excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding
those shares owned:
|
|
•
|
|
by
persons who are directors and also officers; and
|
|
•
|
|
by
employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the
right
to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan
will
be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
|
|
•
|
|
on
or after such date, the business combination is approved by our board
of
directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders,
and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3%
of
the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested
stockholder.
|
An
“interested stockholder” is defined as any person that is (a) the owner of
15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (b) an
affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more
of
our outstanding voting stock at any time within the three-year period
immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether
such person is an interested stockholder.

transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is First American Stock

ITEM
12 INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Cemtrex,
as a Delaware corporation, are empowered by the Delaware General Corporation
Law
(“DGCL”), subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify
any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having been
our
director, officer, employee or agent. The statute provides that indemnification
pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification
to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Cemtrex pursuant to
the
DGCL indemnifies a director, provided that such indemnity shall not apply on
account of:
(a)
any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
(b)
acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; or
(c) unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in the DGCL.
Our
Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors for costs
and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of actions, suits, or
proceedings against them on account of their being or having been directors
or
officers of Cemtrex, absent a finding of negligence or misconduct in office.
Our
Bylaws also permit us to maintain insurance on behalf of our officers,
directors, employees and agents against any liability asserted against and
incurred by that person whether or not we have the power to indemnify such
person against liability for any of those acts.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may
be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to
the
foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC,
that type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is therefore unenforceable.
