Note 1 – Organization, Business & Operations
 
Cemtrex, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Griffin Filters, LLC (collectively the “Company”), is engaged in manufacturing and selling the most advanced instruments for emission monitoring of particulate, opacity, mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. Cemtrex also provides turnkey services for carbon creation projects from abatement of greenhouse gases pursuant to Kyoto protocol and assists project owners in selling of carbon credits globally. Company's products are sold to power plants, refineries, chemical plants, cement plants & other industries including federal and state governmental agencies. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Griffin Filters, the Company designs, manufactures and sells air filtration equipment and systems to control particulate emissions in a variety of industries.
 
Cemtrex, Inc. was incorporated as Diversified American Holding, Inc. on April 27, 1998. On December 16, 2004, the Company changed its name to Cemtrex, Inc. On April 30, 2007, Cemtrex, Inc. acquired Griffin Filters, LLC (see Note 5 – Business Combination and Related Party Transactions).
 
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cemtrex, Inc. and its wholly subsidiary Griffin Filters, LLC (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The acquisition of Griffin Filters, LLC by Cemtrex, Inc. was treated as a business combination due to the fact that the acquired entity and purchased entity were owned by the same individual. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented.
 
Accounting Method
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a September 30 year-end.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Cash
 
The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions, which may exceed federally insured limits throughout the period.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are comprised of replacement parts, system components and finished systems, which are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
In July 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (previously "SFAS 144"). This topic addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with this topic. This topic requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of the dilutive effect of stock warrants and convertible notes. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock warrants and convertible notes.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon shipment of finished goods to the customer.
 
Allowance for doubtful accounts
 
We provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable. As of December, 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, the Company has reserved $200,000 for doubtful accounts.
 
Advertising
 
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred $12,684 and $0 in advertising costs for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
In July 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 749 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (previously SFAS 109). Under this topic the Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between their financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
 
Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
 
Research and development costs
 
Expenditures for research & development are expenses as incurred. Such costs are required to be expensed until the point that technological feasibility is established. The Company incurred $5,535 and $0 in research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
In July 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 718, "Share-Based Payment" (previously "SFAS 123(R)"). This topic requires that companies account for awards of equity instruments issued to employees under the fair value method of accounting and recognize such amounts in their statements of operations. Under this topic, we are required to measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest.

 
7

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, "Share-Based Payment" (previously "SFAS 123(R)").  Under this topic Common stock issued to non-employees in exchange for services is accounted for based on the fair value of the services received.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
In July 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 825, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"(previously SFAS No. 107). This topic requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported income (loss).
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
The adoption of these accounting standards had the following impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition:
 
 
·
FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”. In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 855, which establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets forth : (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This FASB ASC Topic should be applied to the accounting and disclosure of subsequent events. This FASB ASC Topic does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable accounting standards that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. This FASB ASC Topic was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which was June 30, 2009 for the Corporation. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
 
·
FASB ASC Topic 105, “The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 105, which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this FASB ASC Topic, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This FASB ASC Topic identify the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Also, arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. In other words, the GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. This FASB ASC Topic is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure of the financial statements
 
 
·
FASB ASC Topic 320, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FASB ASC Topic does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The FASB ASC Topic shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This FASB ASC Topic does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FASB ASC Topic requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

The Company is evaluating the impact that the following recently issued accounting pronouncements may have on its financial statements and disclosures.
 
 
·
FASB ASC Topic 860, “Accounting for Transfer of Financial Asset”., In June 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under FASB ASC Topic 860, “Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities", which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The Board undertook this project to address (i) practices that have developed since the issuance of FASB ASC Topic 860, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that statement and (ii) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. This additional guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This additional guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This additional guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date.
 
 
·
FASB ASC Topic 810, “Variables Interest Entities”. In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 810, which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i)The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii)The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This FASB Topic requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both. This FASB ASC Topic shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited.

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value measurement and Disclosures”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 82010, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that hold an investment that is required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or non recurring basis and, as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, if the investment meets certain criteria The amendments in this Update are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.
 
 
·
FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to address the need for additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance answers the following questions: (i) Is the income tax paid by the entity attributable to the entity or its owners? (ii) What constitutes a tax position for a pass-through entity or a tax-exempt not-for-profit entity? (iii) How should accounting for uncertainty in income taxes be applied when a group of related entities comprise both taxable and nontaxable entities? In addition, this Updated decided to eliminate the disclosures required by paragraph 740-10-50-15(a) through (b) for nonpublic entities. The implementation guidance will apply to financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The disclosure amendments will apply only to nonpublic entities as defined in Section 740-10-20. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the guidance and disclosure amendments are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Arun Govil, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and President of the Company. Pursuant to the letter agreement Arun Govil agreed to cancel the convertible promissory note, held by him, dated April 30, 2007 (the " Note ").  The principal balance of the Note was $1,300,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the outstanding amount was convertible into 30,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the letter agreement, in return for cancelling the Note, the Company issued Arun Govil 2,500,000 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.  Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock, each issued and outstanding Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 1.01; divided by (ii) the total number of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote, at each meeting of shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or consideration, including the election of directors. In consideration of the issuance of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock described above, Mr. Govil agreed to forfeit 27,500,000 shares of our common stock issuable as per the original terms of the Note.
 
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 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. Company also markets MCDR technology for generating carbon credits from control of Methane from coal mines.
 
Company has recently developed an energy efficiency product line named Green DCV, which provides energy efficiency in HVAC systems for commercial buildings and industrial installations. Cemtrex’s Green-DCV system uses carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors to monitor CO2 levels inside a building, and then regulate the HVAC air-handling system to save energy and improve air quality. Cemtrex Green-DCV can provide significant   energy savings in buildings where occupancy fluctuates during a 24-hour period, such as: office buildings, government facilities, shopping malls, movie theaters, restaurants & schools.
 
Company through its subsidiary griffin Filters provides a complete line of air filtration and environmental control equipment to industries such as: chemical, cement, steel, food, construction, mining, & petrochemical. Griffin’s equipment is used to: (i) remove dust, corrosive fumes, mists, hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, submicron particles and particulate from industrial exhausts and boilers; (ii) clean noxious and acid gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, chlorides,  and  organics from  industrial exhaust stacks prior to discharging to the atmosphere; (iii) control emissions of coal, dust, sawdust, phosphates, flyash, cement, carbon black, soda ash, silica, etc. from construction facilities, mining operations and dryer exhausts.
 
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.

 
14

 

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.

 
15

 

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.

 
16

 


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.
 
·
An opacity 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
 
4.
SO2 and flow CEMs.
 
·
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.

The Company’s MIP division 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.

 
17

 
 
The MIP division’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.
 
The Company ‘s carbon Credits division  provides consulting services  for carbon credit projects from abatement of greenhouse gases pursuant to Kyoto protocol and assists project owners in developing such projects 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.

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.  Company also markets technologies for control of Methane from coal mines and creating energy efficiency in HVAC systems through monitoring of carbon dioxide for commercial buildings and industrial installations.  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 18 full time and three part time employees, consisting of four executive officers, three managers, six 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 $ 4,858.00 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.

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.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales: Net sales for three months ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $1,329,507 or 60%, to $891,454 from $2,220961 for the three months ended December 31,2008.Sales growth decreased during the three month period ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to decreased sales in the MIP division.

Gross Profit: Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $32,916 which made up 4% of net sales   as compared to $110,005 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, which was 5% of net sales. .   The lower gross margin in the three months ended December 31, 2009 was a direct result of low profit margin jobs booked and shipped due to the difficult economic climate as compared to the previous quarter and also due to the direct results of the lower margin products mix shipped during the period.
 
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 decreased $261,732, or 35%, to $503,961 from $765,693 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the three month period ended December 31,2009 to 57% from 35% in the three month period ended December 31, 2008. The increase in operating expenses  in the current quarter were primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses for promoting Company’s green DCV and ventilation air methane MCDR product lines.
 
Net Income/Loss: The Company had net loss of $32,916 which was 4% of net sales, for the three month period ended December 31 2009 as compared to a net income of $110,005 which was 5% of net sales, for the three month ended December 31,008. The loss in the current quarter as compared to the previous quarter a year ago was a result of higher  sales and marketing  expenses for promoting Company’s green DCV and ventilation air methane MCDR product lines and lower gross profit made on shipments made during the current quarter. The lower net income percentage in this period as compared to the previous one was a result of lower gross margin sales and  higher operating expenses due to higher  sales and marketing  expenses for promoting Company’s green DCV and ventilation air methane MCDR product lines.

Provision for Income Taxes: There is no provision for income for this period due net loss of $32,916.

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 $324,698 at December 31 2009, compared to $389,443 at September 30, 2009. This included cash and cash equivalents of $6,675 at December 31, 2009 and $356,552 at September 30, 2009, respectively. The reason for the decrease in working capital was due to non profitability of operations during this period.
 
Trade receivables increased  $288,794 or 31% at December 31, 2009 to $1,237,609 at December 31,2009 from $948,815 at September 30, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to terms and timing of order shipments from customers.
 
Inventories increased  $21,645 or 7% to $355,747 at December 31, 2009 from $334,102 at September 30, 2009.  The increase inventory was due to timing of order shipment from customers and receipt of fresh inventories.
 
Continuing operations provided $312,085 of cash for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to usage of $664,930.  The decrease in cash flows was primarily related to payments of account payable and collection of account receivables timing.   Investing activities for continuing operations generated $0 of cash during the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to use of $1,098 cash during the three months ended December 31, 2008.    The financing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2009 used up $37,792 in cash from repayment of loans to shareholder and provided $467,171 in cash for the three month period ended December 31, 2008 from loan proceeds.
 
We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operations, is sufficient to meet the capital demands of our current operations during the 2010 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.
 
President Obama has promised to invest $150bn over 10 years in renewable energy and environmental control technologies as part of a wider plan to increase US energy security amid fear of oil shortages, while also reducing the country’s carbon emissions in a bid to tackle global warming - and create jobs during an economic downturn. A report from a leading US-based research firm predicts that while the global carbon market will contract 29 per cent this year to just $84bn, it will recover quickly over the next four years, growing at an average of 68 per cent a year to be worth $669bn by 2013. According to official budget figures released by the Obama administration earlier this year, it expects to raise $646bn between 2012 and 2019 for the US treasury through the auctioning of carbon allowances.

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 “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 10QSB will in fact occur.
 
Item 3. Quantitative & Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures
 
(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2009. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our President (Chief Executive Officer), Arun Govil and our Vice President of Finance, Renato Dela Rama. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were and concluded that it is effective as of such date. Any internal control system, no matter how well designed, will have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b)  Changes in Internal Controls over financial reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is not currently a party to any threatened or pending legal proceedings, other than incidental litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Item 1A Risk Factors
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
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 quarterly report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially harmed.
 
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 three months ended December 31, 2009 and for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, and we may incur losses for the foreseeable future.
 
We had a net loss of $32,916 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. We had net loss of $123,565 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. These losses have resulted principally from higher marketing expenses of new product lines and 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; however, for the year ended September 30, 2009 and the three month period ended December 31, 2009 we generated a net profit of $155,010 and a net loss of ($32,916), respectively. 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 sustained 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. 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.
 

 
26

 

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.

 
27

 
 
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.
 
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, 2010, 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.

 
28

 

o Our stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) electronic quotation system.
 
The Company’s Common Stock currently trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) electronic quotation system under the symbol “CTEI.OB”. The OTCBB 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;
 
·
acquisitions;
 
·
litigation and government proceedings;
 
·
adverse legislation;
 
·
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 65% of our outstanding voting equity is beneficially held by Arun Govil the Company’s Chairman, Chief executive officer, President and Treasurer as a result of Mr. Govil’s common stock and Series A preferred stock ownership.  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 makes it impossible for the public stockholders to influence the affairs of the Company.
