Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Certain of our accounting policies are deemed “critical”, as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Results of Operations - For the three Months ending December 31, 2014 and 2013

Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $13,842,789 and $8,964,380, respectively, an increase of $4,878,409, or 54%. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $396,872 and $416,552, respectively, a decrease of $19,680, or 5%. Net income in the first quarter decreased, as compared to net income in the same period last year, due to lower sales of Electronics manufacturing services group resulting from the timing of shipments of in-house orders.

Revenues

Environmental products and systems revenues for three months ended December 31, 2014 increased by $4,984,464 or 212%, to $7,339,639 from $2,355,175 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increased demand for environmental products and services.

Electronics manufacturing services revenues for three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by 106,055 or 2% to $6,503,150 from $6,609,205 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The primary reason for decreased sales was due to the decline in exchange rate of 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 similar quarter a year ago.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $4,023,057 or 29% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $2,824,738 or 32% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in gross profit percentage in the three months ended December 31, 2014 was a direct result of high profit margin jobs shipped during this period as compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased $1,273,761 or 54% to $3,640,822 from $2,367,061 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue remained the same at 26% for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The increase in operating expenses were primarily due to the acquisition of ROB Cemtrex GmbH.

Other Income/(Expense)

Interest and other income/(expense) for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $(83,063) as compared to $(35,849) for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase was due primarily to interest expense recognition on loans used to acquire ROB Cemtrex GmbH and the mortgage on the building in Neulingen, Germany.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 we recorded an income tax benefit of $78,700 compared to an income tax provision accrual of $5,276 for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. 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.

Net Income/Loss

The Company had net income of $396,872 or 3% of revenues, for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 as compared to a net income of $416,552 or 5% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Net income in the first quarter decreased, as compared to net income in the same period last year, due to lower sales of Electronics manufacturing services group resulting from the timing of shipments of in-house orders.

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 $7,074,334 at December 31, 2014 compared to $$7,631,897 at September 30, 2014. This includes cash and cash equivalents of $1,118,590 at December 31, 2014 and $146,095 at September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to decreases in short-term investments, trade receivables, accrued income taxes, and current portion of long-term liabilities offset by increases in cash and equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.

Trade receivables decreased $999,764 or 25% to $3,038,576 at December 31, 2014 from $4,038,340 at September 30, 2014. The decrease in trade receivables is attributable to the timing of shipments of in-house orders and collection of trade receivables.

Inventories increased $108,054 or 2% to $6,378,381 at December 31, 2014 from $6,270,327 at September 30, 2014. The increase in inventories was due to timing of shipments of in-house orders.

Operating activities provided $1,494,636 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to using $7,325,947 of cash for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the collection of trade receivables during the quarter.

Investment activities provided $97,396 of cash compared to using $4,229,233 during the three month period ended December 31, 2014. Investing activities were primarily driven by the redemption of short-term investments offset by the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing activities used $619,537 for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 as compared to providing $12,121,451 in the three month period ended December 31, 2013. Financing activities were primarily driven by payments on bank loans offset by proceeds from convertible notes payable.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operations, is sufficient to meet the capital demands of our current operations during the 2015 fiscal year (ending September 30, 2015). 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.

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 Vice President of Finance (“VPF”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our CEO and our VPF have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014 and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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.
