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 Heisey Mechanical

On July 1, 2023, the Company under AIS, completed the acquisition of a leading service contractor and steel fabricator that specializes in industrial and water treatment markets, Heisey Mechanical, Ltd. (“Heisey”) based in Columbia, Pennsylvania, for $2,400,000 plus adjustments for the outstanding contract assets and liabilities of $393,291. The real estate of the business was purchased at fair market value on August 30, 2023, for $1,500,000 in a separate transaction.

Heisey provides the water treatment industry with a variety of fabricated vessels and equipment including ASME pressure vessels, heat exchangers, mix tanks, reactors, and other specialized fabricated equipment. Additionally, the contracting team assists with installation and service of fabricated items. The company has over 33,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space in its facility and an experienced staff of fabricators, welders, and field mechanics.

The purchase price allocation presented below compares the preliminary allocation which was developed based on an estimate of fair values of Heisey’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 1, 2023, compared to the final allocation.

The consideration transferred allocation of Heisey’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, are as follows:

The pro forma summary below presents the results of operations as if the Heisey acquisition occurred on October 1, 2022. Proforma adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2023, includes $63,900 of depreciation expense from acquired fixed assets, $31,500 of interest expense on the debt used in the acquisition, and $20,739 of income tax benefit. Proforma adjustments for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, includes $191,700 of depreciation expense from acquired fixed assets, $97,359 of interest expense on the debt used in the acquisition, and $13,694 of income tax expense. The pro forma summary uses estimates and assumptions based on information available at the time. Management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable; however, actual results may have differed significantly from this pro forma financial information. The pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that might have been achieved from combining the operations. The unaudited pro forma summary is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent the Company’s actual consolidated results of operations had the acquisition been completed as of the date presented, nor should it be considered indicative of the Company’s future consolidated results of operations.

On August 30, 2023, the Company acquired a mortgage in the amount of $1,200,000 from Fulton Bank to finance the purchase of the properties formerly owned by Heisey Mechanical Ltd. The mortgage carries interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2.8% and matures on September 30, 2043.

Nasdaq Notices for Listing Deficiencies

On July 29, 2022, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s Series 1 Preferred Stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). On January 26, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, it had been granted an additional 180 days or until July 24, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. On September 8, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) informing the Company that the Panel has granted the Company a temporary exception to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”) Listing Rule 5555(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”) by no later than January 19, 2024. The Company has announced a special meeting of Series 1 Preferred Stock shareholders was scheduled for December 26, 2023, to approve the reverse stock split. On December 26, 2023, the meeting was adjourned to December 29, 2023, due to insufficient votes represented by proxy or virtually in person to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. On December 29, 2023, there were still insufficient votes represented by proxy or virtually in person to constitute a quorum thus the resolution did not pass.

On January 5, 2024, and January 12, 2024, the Company bought back an aggregate of 71,951 shares for $69,705 under the Share Repurchase Program approved on August 22, 2023, that allows the Company to repurchase shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock through various means, including through privately negotiated transactions and through an open market program. On April 8, 2024, these shares were cancelled. The Company’s Series 1 Preferred Stock was delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market on January 22, 2024. The Series 1 Preferred Stock is now quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “CETXP”. Nasdaq filed a Form 25 on March 21, 2024 and the deregistration of the Company’s Series 1 Preferred Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act became effective for 90 days after filing of the Form 25.

On June 14, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The notification letter also disclosed that in the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by December 11, 2024, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify for additional time, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

May 2024* Equity Financing*

On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Aegis Capital Corp., in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”), providing for the issuance of(i) 554,705 units (the “Common Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrant will expire on the two-and-a-half year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series A Warrants”), and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series B Warrants”); and (ii) 11,210,000 pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each Unit was $0.85, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $0.849. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase additional 1,764,705 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, representing up to 15% of the number of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering, and/or additional 1,764,705 Series A Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series A Warrants sold in the Offering, and/or additional 1,764,705 Series B Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series B Warrants sold in the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering closed on May 3, 2024. An aggregate of 11,764,705 Units (which includes 554,705 shares of common stock), 11,210,000 Pre-Funded Units (which includes 11,210,000 Pre-Funded Warrants), and a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant were sold in the Offering. On May 3, 2024, the Underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to 1,764,705 Series A Warrants and 1,764,705 Series B Warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $10,035,293, before deducting underwriting discounts and other issuance expenses of $995,333 recorded under the caption “Other(expense)/income, net” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The underwriting discounts and other issuance expenses were expensed since the Series A, Series B, and Pre-Funded Warrants were each determined to be liabilities and recorded at their fair value.

May 2024**Warrants

The Company evaluated the Series A, Series B, and Prefunded Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance at ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the Warrants are precluded from being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, resulting in the Warrants being classified as a liability. The fair value of the Series A Warrants was determined based on the stock price on issuance of $0.277 multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A alternative cashless exercise. Under the alternative cashless exercise, the Holder is entitled to receive three times the normal number of shares issued in a cashless exercise. The Series A Holder may only execute the alternative cashless exercise after Stockholder Approval (and received June 17, 2024); at the time of issuance, Stockholder Approval was deemed perfunctory and almost certain to occur, and the most likely settlement option would be through the alternative cashless exercise. As such, upon issuance, the total fair value of the Series A Warrants was $11,242,940, which was based on 40,588,230 common shares issuable under the alternative cashless exercise. The measurement of fair value of the Series B Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $0.277 , exercise price of $0.85, term offive years, volatility of 132%, risk-free rate of 4.5%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Series B Warrants was estimated to be $2,942,711 on May 3, 2024, andsuch warrants were classified as liabilities. Due to the nominal exercise price, the fair value of the Prefunded Warrants was based on the intrinsic value of each Warrant on the grant date. The intrinsic value was calculated based on the May 3, 2024, stock price of $0.277 and the strike price of $0.001, resulting in a total fair value of $3,093,960. The total fair value of the Warrants upon issuance was $17,279,611. Given that the gross proceeds received of $10,024,083 was less than the total fair value of the liability classified Warrants, the Company recorded a loss on excess fair value of $7,255,527 at issuance.

Going Concern Considerations

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Pursuant to the requirements of the ASC 205, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.

This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company has incurred substantial losses of $9,196,875 and $13,020,958 for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively, and has losses on continuing operations for the nine months ending June 30, 2024, of $12,043,882 and has current liabilities of $14,004,886 and working capital of $12,400,461 along with negative operating cash flows of $2,076,477 that raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s working capital may not be sufficient to cover operating costs which indicates a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company has historically, from time to time, satisfied and may continue to satisfy certain short-term liabilities through the issuance of common stock, thus reducing our cash requirement to meet our operating needs. The Company has $7,620,225 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company has (i) secured a line of credit for its Vicon brand to fund operations, which as of June 30, 2024, has available capacity of $2,269,675, (ii) continually reevaluated its pricing model on our Vicon brand to improve margins on those products, (iii) entered into a Standstill Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”) in which Streeterville agreed not to seek to redeem any portion of its two outstanding notes with the Company for a period of one year expiring on April 30, 2025 in exchange, the Company agreed to pay to Streeterville the greater of $4,000,000 or fifty percent (50%) of the net proceeds the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock during the Standstill Period. To date, the Company has paid Streeterville $4,588,897 under this agreement.

In the event additional capital is raised through equity offerings and/or debt is satisfied with equity, it may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. While the Company believes these plans if successful, would be sufficient to meet the capital demands of our current operations for at least the next twelve months, there is no guarantee that we will succeed. 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 working capital needs. As of June 30, 2024, the Company may not have adequate cash or available liquidity/available capacity on our lines of credit to meet our operational needs.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to this uncertainty.

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, 2023, of Cemtrex, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States (“U.S. 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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for September 30, 2023 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The reclassification was to the caption “Short-term investments” which has been reclassified to “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and “Gain/(loss) on marketable securities to “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

Subsequent to the issuance of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, an immaterial error was identified and has been corrected in our historical information related to the calculation of earnings per share. The original calculation did not take into account the fair value of the Series 1 Preferred Stock dividends declared during the period.

The effects of the correction to the individual effected line items in our Consolidated Statement of Operations are as follows:

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, 2023, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 (Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity) and ASC 815 (Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“Update 2016-13”). Update 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including but not limited to trade receivables. For public business entities, the new standard became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that reporting period. On October 1, 2023, the Company implemented this standard and there has been no material change to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table illustrates the effect of implementation of Update 2016-13 on thecurrent expected credit losses for the following line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheet:

The Company estimates credit losses associated with our accounts receivable portfolio segment using an expected credit loss model, which utilizes an aging schedule methodology based on historical information and adjusted for asset-specific considerations, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company will utilize the Probability-of-default method for financing receivables and loans. Expected credit losses are determined by multiplying the probability of default (i.e., the probability the asset will default within the given time frame) by the loss given default (the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected because of default). The Company considers sources of repayment associated with a financial asset when determining its credit losses, including collection against the collateral and certain embedded credit enhancements, such as guarantees or insurance. The allowance for credit losses was immaterial as of June 30, 2024.

The following table illustrates the current expected credit losses activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2024:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

On June 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), which (1) clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction and (2) requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. Under current guidance, stakeholders have observed diversity in practice related to whether contractual sale restrictions should be considered in the measurement of the fair value of equity securities that are subject to such restrictions. On the basis of interpretations of existing guidance and the current illustrative example in ASC 820-10-55-52 of a restriction on the sale of an equity instrument, some entities use a discount for contractual sale restrictions when measuring fair value, while others view the application of such a discount to be inconsistent with the principles of ASC 820. To reduce the diversity in practice and increase the comparability of reported financial information, ASU 2022-03 clarifies this guidance and amends the illustrative example. ASU No. 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for annual reporting for fiscal 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2026 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2023-07 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is required to adopt this standard prospectively in fiscal year 2026 for the annual reporting period ending September 30, 2026. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 –DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into two Asset Purchase Agreements and one Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) with the Company’s CEO, Saagar Govil, to secure the sale of the subsidiaries Cemtrex Advanced Technologies, Inc, which include the brand SmartDesk, and Cemtrex XR, Inc., which include the brands Cemtrex XR, Virtual Driver Interactive, Bravo Strong, and good tech (formerly Cemtrex Labs), to Mr. Govil.

Due to the on-going losses and risk associated with the SmartDesk business the Company has valued the royalty and SAFE agreement associated with the SmartDesk sale at $0 and considers such consideration to be a gain contingency.

Based on sales projections for Cemtrex XR, Inc., the Company does not believe that it will exceed the sales levels required to exceed the $820,000 royalties due and has not accounted for any additional royalties at this time. In accordance with*ASC 310 – Receivables,*the Company has discounted the royalties due and has recognized $13,282, and $14,724 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $39,845, and $33,875, during the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and will amortize the remaining amount over the period the royalties are due.

The following table summarizes the loss on the sale recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2022, included in Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations:

As of June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, there were no assets or liabilities included within discontinued operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, Vicon completed the closure of its discontinued operating entity Vicon Systems, Ltd. located in Israel. The Company received funds related to benefit obligations of $96,095, which at the time of operational closure were not guaranteed to be retrievable. The Company paid $7,010 in consulting fees for assistance in retrieving these funds. The net amount of $89,085 is recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as part of the Loss on Discontinued Operations.

Income/(loss)from discontinued operations, net of tax and the loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of Cemtrex Advanced Technologies, Inc. and Cemtrex XR, Inc., sold during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which are presented in total as discontinued operations, net of tax in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:

NOTE 4 –REVENUE

The following table illustrates the approximate disaggregation of the Company’s revenue based off timing of revenue recognition for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 5 –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 nine months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, the following items were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect is anti-dilutive:

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, loss per share basic and diluted for continuing operations are calculated as follows:

In accordance with ASC 260-45-13, the common shares underlying the Series A Warrants under the alternative cashless exercise have been included in the calculation of the weighted average shares.

NOTE 6 –SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports and evaluates financial information fortwo reportable segments: the Security segment and the Industrial Services segment.

The following tables summarize the Company’s reportable segment information and unallocated corporate expenses:

Unallocated corporate expenses mainly relate to payroll and benefits for corporate officers, investor relation expenses, accounting expenses related audit and taxes, legal expenses related to corporate matters, and interest expense on notes payable.

NOTE 7 –RESTRICTED CASH

A subsidiary of the Company participates in a consortium in order to self-insure group care coverage for its employees. The plan is administrated by Benecon Group and the Company makes monthly deposits in a trust account to cover medical claims and any administrative costs associated with the plan. These funds, as required by the plan are restricted in nature and amounted to $1,052,028 at June 30, 2024, and $919,652 at September 30, 2023. The Company has $100,000 in restricted cash held in escrow related to projects that are still bonded through Heisey as of June 30, 2024.

NOTE 8 –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. The Company measures 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.

NOTE 17 –CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Project contracts typically provide for a schedule of billings on percentage of completion of specific tasks inherent in the fulfillment of the Company’s performance obligation(s). The schedules for such billings usually do not precisely match the schedule on which costs are incurred. As a result, contract revenue recognized in the statements of operations can and usually does differ from amounts that can be billed to the customer at any point during the contract. Amounts by which cumulative contract revenue recognized on a contract as of a given date exceeds cumulative billings and unbilled receivables to the customer under the contract are reflected as a current asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Contract assets.” Amounts by which cumulative billings to the customer under a contract as of a given date exceed cumulative contract revenue recognized are reflected as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Contract liabilities.” Conditional retainage represents the portion of the contract price withheld until the work is substantially complete for assurance of the Company’s obligations to complete the job.

The following is a summary of the Company’s uncompleted contracts:

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $18,625 and $0, and $905,319 and $369,835, respectively, that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2024,3,508,593 shares of common stock were issued for the exercise of 1,169,531 Series A Warrants under the Alternative Cashless Exercise option.

May 2024 Equity Financing

On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Aegis Capital Corp., in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”), providing for the issuance of(i) 554,705 units (the “Common Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrant will expire on the two-and-a-half year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series A Warrants”), and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series B Warrants”); and (ii) 11,210,000 pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each Unit was $0.85, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $0.849. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase additional 1,764,705 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, representing up to 15% of the number of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering, and/or additional 1,764,705 Series A Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series A Warrants sold in the Offering, and/or additional 1,764,705 Series B Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series B Warrants sold in the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering closed on May 3, 2024. An aggregate of 11,764,705 Units (which includes 554,705 shares of common stock), 11,210,000 Pre-Funded Units (which includes 11,210,000 Pre-Funded Warrants), and a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant were sold in the Offering. On May 3, 2024, the Underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to 1,764,705 Series A Warrants and 1,764,705 Series B Warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were $10,035,293, before deducting underwriting discounts and other issuance expenses of $1,133,166. The underwriting discounts and other issuance expenses were expensed since the Series A, Series B, and Pre-Funded Warrants were each determined to be liabilities and recorded at their fair value.

May 2024 Warrants

The Company evaluated the Series A, Series B, and Prefunded Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance at ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the Warrants are precluded from being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, resulting in the Warrants being classified as a liability. The fair value of the Series A Warrants was determined based on the stock price on issuance of $0.277 multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A alternative cashless exercise. Under the alternative cashless exercise, the Holder is entitled to receive three times the normal amount of shares issued in a cashless exercise. The Series A Holder may only execute the alternative cashless exercise after Stockholder Approval (and received June 17, 2024); at the time of issuance, Stockholder Approval was deemed perfunctory and almost certain to occur, and the most likely settlement option would be through the alternative cashless exercise. As such, upon issuance, the total fair value of the Series A Warrants was $11,242,940, which was based on 40,588,230 units issued under the alternative cashless exercise. The measurement of fair value of the Series B Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $0.277 , exercise price of $0.85, term offive years, volatility of 132%, risk-free rate of 4.5%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Series B Warrants was estimated to be $2,942,711 on May 3, 2024, and such warrants were classified as liabilities. Due to the nominal exercise price, the fair value of the Prefunded Warrants was based on the intrinsic value of each Warrant on the grant date. The intrinsic value was calculated based on the May 3, 2024, stock price of $0.277 and the strike price of $0.001, resulting in a total fair value of $3,093,960. The total fair value of the Warrants upon issuance was $17,279,611. Given that the gross proceeds received of $10,024,083 was less than the total fair value of the liability classified Warrants, the Company recorded a loss on excess fair value of $7,255,527 at issuance.

The following table summarizes information about shares issuable under warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

NOTE 22 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $7,559 and $22,675 and $26,736 and $93,313 of share-based compensation expense on its outstanding options, respectively.

Future compensation amounts will be adjusted for any change in estimated forfeitures.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, no options were granted, cancelled, or forfeited.

NOTE 23 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On July 22, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, and the holders of an excess of a majority of the outstanding shares of our classes of voting stock of the Company have executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting approving a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize a reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with asplit ratio of between 1 for 10 and 1 for 20, which will be determined by the Board of Directors at any time or times for a period of 12 months after the date of the written consent.
