Cemtrex, through its Industrial Products and Services (IPS) group, sells a complete line of air filtration and environmental control products to a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing industries worldwide. The group also manufactures, sells, and services monitoring instruments, software and systems for measurement of emissions of Greenhouse gases, hazardous gases, particulate and other regulated pollutants used in emissions trading globally as well as for industrial processes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events, our actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and judgment of our management, who continually evaluate the judgments, estimates and assumptions and may employ outside experts to assist in the evaluations.

 

13
 

 

Certain of our accounting policies are deemed “critical”, as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015. 

 

Results of Operations - For the three months ending December 31, 2015 and 2014 

 

Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $13,314,693 and $13,842,789, respectively, a decrease of $528,096, or 4%. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $692,395 and $396,872, respectively, an increase of $295,523, or 74%. Net income in the first quarter increased, as compared to net income in the same period last year, due to lower operating expense and an increase in other income.

 

Revenues

 

Industrial products and services revenues for three months ended December 31, 2015 increased by $525,802 or 7%, to $7,865,441 from $7,339,669 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of AIS on December 15, 2015.

 

Electronics manufacturing services revenues for three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased by $1,053,898 or 16% to $5,449,252 from $6,503,150 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The primary reason for decreased sales was due to the decline in exchange rate of the Euro vs US Dollar. Additionally, the sales were lower due to the timing of shipments of in-house orders during this quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

 

Gross Profit 

 

Gross Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $3,872,898 or 29% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $4,023,057 or 29% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The gross profit percentage has remained constant in the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

 

Operating Expenses

 

 Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $215,910 or 6% to $3,405,912 from $3,621,822 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 27% for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The decreases in operating expenses were primarily due to reductions in salaries and fringe benefits, and insurance expenses.

 

Other Income/(Expense)

 

Interest and other income/(expense) for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $175,235 as compared to $(83,063) for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The income was due primarily to forgiveness of some debt in the Electronics manufacturing services group.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 we recorded an income tax benefit of $20,785 and the reversal of the provision for the Fiscal year 2014 of $29,389 now filed, compared to an income tax benefit of $78,700 for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. 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 income taxes in their respective jurisdictions.

Net Income/Loss

 

The Company had net income of $692,395 or 5% of revenues, for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 as compared to a net income of $396,872 or 3% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Net income in the first quarter increased, as compared to net income in the same period last year, due largely to lower operating expenses and the forgiveness of debt in the Electronic manufacturing services group.

 

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 $5,794,280 at December 31, 2015 compared to $4,693,904 at September 30, 2015. This includes cash and cash equivalents of $2,379,981 at December 31, 2015 and $1,486,737 at September 30, 2015, respectively. The increase in working capital was primarily due to increases in cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, purchases of property and equipment, payments on affiliated loans, and payments on bank loans, offset by increases in accounts payable, revolving line of credit, and accrued expenses, and issuance of convertible notes.

 

Accounts receivable increased $3,374,916 or 71% to $7,895,241 at December 31, 2015 from $4,771,044 at September 30, 2015. The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to the acquisition of Advanced Industrial Services, Inc..

 

Inventories increased $422,701 or 7% to $6,792,217 at December 31, 2015 from $6,369,516 at September 30, 2015. The increase in inventories is attributable to the acquisition of Advanced Industrial Services, Inc..

 

Operating activities provided $1,549,720 of cash for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to providing cash of $1,309,296 of cash for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the issuance of stock for the acquisition of AIS during the three months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Investment activities used $7,561,470 of cash for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to providing cash of $97,396 during the three month period ended December 31, 2014. Investing activities were primarily driven by the acquisition of AIS.

 

Financing activities provided $6,904,994 of cash for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 as compared to using cash of $619,537 in the three month period ended December 31, 2014. Financing activities were primarily driven by proceeds of bank loans for the acquisition of AIS.

 

Our strategic plan includes the expansion of the Company both organically and through acquisitions. Due to the long-term nature of investments in acquisitions and other financial needs to support organic growth, including working capital, we expect our long-term and working capital needs to periodically exceed the short-term fluctuations in cash flow from operations. Accordingly, we use debt and equity vehicles in addition to cash flow from operations to fund our growth and working capital needs.
