Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Company”, “registrant”, “Cemtrex” or “management” refer to Cemtrex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company’s reporting segments consist of Security and Industrial Services. Additionally, the Company’s operational structure also reports unallocated corporate expenses.

Common Stock Reverse Stock Split On October 2, 2024, the Company completed a 60:1 reverse stock split on its common stock, and on November 26, 2024, the Company completed a 35:1 reverse stock split on its common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse splits. Nasdaq Notices for Listing Deficiencies 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. On December 11, 2024, we received a notification letter from the Nasdaq notifying us that we have regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The Reverse Stock Split would potentially increase our bid price such that we maintain the Minimum Bid Requirement required for maintaining the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although we currently meet the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Requirement, out of abundance of caution, we believe that a future reverse split may be necessary in the future if we were to fall short of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. 9 On August 21, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, because the stockholder’s equity for the Company was below $2,500,000 as reported on our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company no longer meets the minimum shareholder’s equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1), requiring a minimum stockholder’s equity of $2,500,000 (the “Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement”). On October 23, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq that it had been granted an extension to February 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement. On January 2, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that based on the Company’s Form 10-K filed on December 30, 2024, evidencing stockholders’ equity of $ 4,710,677 , Nasdaq has determined that the Company complies with the Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement and this matter is now closed. On February 24, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, because the stockholder’s equity for the Company was below $ 2,500,000 as reported on our Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company no longer meets the minimum shareholder’s equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1), requiring a minimum stockholder’s equity of $ 2,500,000 (the “Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement”). On April 22, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq that it had been granted an extension to August 20, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement. The Company expects to receive a compliance letter from Nasdaq, as a result of the Company’s balance sheet recording stockholder’s equity of $ 6,403,022 as of March 31, 2025. Going Concern Considerations The accompanying unaudited 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 operational losses of $ 5,269,745 and $ 1,511,508 for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an operational gain of $ 2,335,388 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company has debt obligations over the next fiscal year of $ 12,168,470 and working capital of $ 5,037,130 , that raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 10 While our working capital and current debt indicate 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 $ 4,538,405 in cash as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company has (i) secured a line of credit for its Vicon brand to fund operations, which as of March 31, 2025, has available capacity of approximately $ 133,000 , (ii) continually reevaluate our pricing model on our Vicon brand to improve margins on those products and introducing new innovative products to grow revenues, (iii) raised $ 9,039,959 in net proceeds through our May 2024 equity financing and anticipate up to $ 4 million when the Series B warrants are exercised, and (iv) on October 2, 2024, and November 26,2024 has effected a 60:1 and a 35:1 reverse stock split, respectively, on our common stock to remain trading on the Nasdaq Capital Markets, and improve our ability to potentially raise capital through equity offerings that we may use to satisfy debt. 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. The Company currently does not have adequate cash or available liquidity/available capacity on our lines of credit to meet our long-term needs and our above plans in the short term may prove to be inadequate to continue as a going concern. Thus, despite our cash on hand, our ability to draw on our credit line, or changes to our pricing models, and other safeguards, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date. 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. The Company currently does not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term needs. The unaudited 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, 2024, 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. 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, 2024, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 11 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 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. On October 1, 2024, the Company implemented this standard and there has been no material change to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 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. On October 1, 2024, the Company implemented this standard and there has been no material change to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, that requires public companies to disclose, in interim and reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. NOTE 3 – REVENUE The following table illustrates the approximate disaggregation of the Company’s revenue based off timing of revenue recognition for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024: SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE RECOGNITION For the three months ended For the six months ended March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Over time 40 % 58 % 49 % 55 % Point-in-time 60 % 42 % 51 % 45 % Revenue performance obligation percentage 60 % 42 % 51 % 45 % 12 NOTE 4 – INCOME/(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/(loss) 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 six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the following items were excluded from the computation of diluted net income/(loss) per common share as their effect is anti-dilutive: SCHEDULE OF COMPUTATION OF DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE AS ANTI-DILUTIVE EFFECT For the three months ended For the six months ended March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Options 18 18 18 18 Warrants 3,318,556 - 3,318,556 - Anti-dilutive shares 3,318,556 - 3,318,556 - For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, income/(loss) per share basic and diluted for continuing operations are calculated as follows: SCHEDULE OF LOSS PER SHARE BASIC AND DILUTED FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS For the three months For the six months ended March 31, March 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Earnings/(loss) from Continuing operations $ 8,610,510 $ ( 1,580,184 ) $ ( 20,056,721 ) $ ( 2,894,579 ) Less Earnings/(loss) in noncontrolling interest 254,537 ( 96,510 ) 74,385 ( 192,919 ) Preferred stock dividends 21,949 52,515 21,949 52,515 Net Earnings/(loss) applicable to common shareholders 8,334,024 ( 1,536,189 ) ( 20,153,055 ) ( 2,754,175 ) Weighted Average Number of Shares-Basic & Diluted 2,032,744 503 1,897,797 501 Earnings/(loss) per share - Basic & Diluted - Continuing Operations $ 4.10 $ ( 3,054.05 ) $ ( 10.62 ) $ ( 5,497.36 ) 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 5 – SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company reports and evaluates financial information for two reportable segments: the Security segment and the Industrial Services segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for all segments is Saagar Govil, the CEO of the Company. The following tables summarize the Company’s reportable segment information and unallocated corporate expenses: SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT INFORMATION Three months ended March 31, 2025 Three months ended March 31, 2024 Reportable Segments Reportable Segments Security Industrial Services Corporate Consolidated Security Industrial Services Corporate Consolidated External revenues $ 16,981,152 $ 10,269,117 $ - $ 27,250,269 $ 8,084,932 $ 9,074,663 $ - $ 17,159,595 Cost of revenues 8,177,296 6,907,518 - 15,084,814 3,971,963 6,248,216 - 10,220,179 Gross profit $ 8,803,856 $ 3,361,599 $ - $ 12,165,455 $ 4,112,969 $ 2,826,447 $ - $ 6,939,416 Operating expenses Sales, general, and administrative 3,655,756 2,229,023 575,661 6,460,440 3,833,596 1,897,269 984,403 6,715,268 Depreciation and amortization 85,433 224,869 - 310,302 71,260 233,629 - 304,889 Research and development 777,889 - - 777,889 951,400 - - 951,400 Operating (loss)/income $ 4,284,778 $ 907,707 $ ( 575,661 ) $ 4,616,824 ( 743,287 ) 695,549 ( 984,403 ) ( 1,032,141 ) Other income/(expense) $ ( 493,731 ) $ ( 110,145 ) $ 4,708,087 $ 4,104,211 $ ( 138,633 ) $ ( 78,289 ) $ ( 231,117 ) $ ( 448,039 ) 13 Six months ended March 31, 2025 Six months ended March 31, 2024 Reportable Segments Reportable Segments Security Industrial Services Corporate Consolidated Security Industrial Services Corporate Consolidated External revenues $ 22,434,851 $ 18,555,317 $ - $ 40,990,168 $ 17,252,733 $ 16,785,028 $ - $ 34,037,761 Cost of revenues 10,791,236 12,331,541 - 23,122,777 8,622,817 11,393,129 - 20,015,946 Gross profit $ 11,643,615 $ 6,223,776 $ - $ 17,867,391 $ 8,629,916 $ 5,391,899 $ - $ 14,021,815 Operating expenses General, and administrative 7,415,054 3,990,426 1,810,526 13,216,006 8,161,224 3,426,532 1,731,177 13,318,933 Depreciation and amortization 171,456 476,569 - 648,025 199,412 473,778 - 673,190 Research and development 1,667,972 - - 1,667,972 1,800,205 - - 1,800,205 Operating (loss)/income $ 2,389,133 $ 1,756,781 $ ( 1,810,526 ) $ 2,335,388 $ ( 1,530,925 ) $ 1,491,589 $ ( 1,731,177 ) $ ( 1,770,513 ) Other expense $ ( 886,648 ) $ ( 188,371 ) $ ( 21,086,027 ) $ ( 22,161,046 ) $ ( 272,894 ) $ ( 186,433 ) $ ( 493,984 ) $ ( 953,311 ) March 31, September 30, 2025 2024 Identifiable Assets Security $ 17,642,142 $ 17,253,328 Industrial Services 26,634,657 24,576,055 Corporate 1,960,351 2,286,075 Total Assets $ 46,237,150 $ 44,115,458 Unallocated corporate expenses mainly relate to payroll and benefits for corporate officers, investor relation expenses, accounting expenses related to audit and taxes, legal expenses related to corporate matters, interest expense on notes payable, and Series A and B Warrants transaction losses. NOTE 6 – 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 $ 1,066,205 at March 31, 2025, and $ 1,030,606 at September 30, 2024. Additionally, there was $ 100,000 of restricted cash in escrow per the purchase agreement with Heisey Mechanical, Ltd, as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, an additional $ 296,750 and $ 325,340 in escrow related to bond requirements on certain public projects as of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, and $ 64,673 and $ 66,935 in deposit guarantees as of March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. NOTE 7 – 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. 14 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. The Company’s fair value liabilities at March 31, 2025, and September 30, 2024, are as follows. SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF LIABILITIES Quoted Prices Significant in Active Other Significant Balance Markets for Observable Unobservable as of Identical Assets Inputs Inputs March 31, (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) 2025 Liabilities Warrant liabilities $ 364,804 $ 4,382,664 $ - $ 4,747,468 $ 364,804 $ 4,382,664 $ - $ 4,747,468 Quoted Prices Significant in Active Other Significant Balance Markets for Observable Unobservable as of Identical Assets Inputs Inputs September 30, (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) 2024 Liabilities Warrant liabilities $ 4,160,658 $ 1,038,778 $ - $ 5,199,436 $ 4,160,658 $ 1,038,778 $ - $ 5,199,436 A summary of the warrant liabilities activity, per the valuation inputs disclosed in NOTE 20 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, for the six months ended March 31, 2025, is as follows: SCHEDULE OF WARRANT LIABILITIES ACTIVITY Series A Warrants Series B Warrants Total Warrant Liabilities at September 30, 2024 $ 4,160,658 $ 1,038,778 $ 5,199,436 Warrants Issued - - - Warrants Exercised ( 5,669,908 ) ( 94,898 ) ( 5,764,806 ) Fair market revaluation 1,874,054 3,438,784 5,312,838 Warrant Liabilities at March 31, 2025 $ 364,804 $ 4,382,664 $ 4,747,468 NOTE 8 – TRADE RECEIVABLES, NET Trade receivables, net consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF TRADE RECEIVABLES, NET March 31, September 30, 2025 2024 Trade receivables $ 12,852,482 $ 11,315,594 Allowance for credit losses ( 136,490 ) ( 155,918 ) Accounts receivables, net, total $ 12,715,992 $ 11,159,676 Trade receivables include amounts due for shipped products and services rendered. 15 Allowance for credit losses include estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make the required payments.

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 unaudited 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 unaudited 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: SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES March 31, 2025 September 30, 2024 Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $ 6,215,870 $ 12,724,334 Estimated gross profit 1,916,138 3,006,692 8,132,008 15,731,026 Applicable billings to date ( 8,899,813 ) ( 16,000,023 ) Net earnings in excess of billings / (billing in excess of costs) $ ( 767,805 ) $ ( 268,997 ) For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $ 342,725 and $ 95,533 , respectively, that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.

On January 6, 2025, the Company and Saagar Govil signed an agreement to revise the purchase price structure and payment terms. 18 The Agreement’s Purchase Price provisions were amended to reflect that the Purchase Price will solely consist of the royalties based on the actual revenues generated in the three years following closing. The provision requiring the total sum of royalties to reach a minimum of $ 820,000 , with any shortfall to be paid by Purchaser, was removed from the Agreement. Additionally, it was agreed that the payment terms due under the royalties shall be as follows commencing on January 1, 2025: ● First Year (January 2025) Monthly Payment: $ 10,000 ● Second Year (January 2026) Monthly Payment: $ 20,000 ● Balloon Payment at the end of the Second Year (December 31, 2026): Total outstanding royalties This transaction was approved by the Board of Directors with Saagar Govil abstaining from the vote. Based on the new payment terms, management determined that it was appropriate to remove the previously recognized royalty receivable of $ 280,545 from the financial statements as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, there were royalties receivable from the sale of Cemtrex, XR, Inc. of $ 462,423 , of which $ 110,000 is considered short-term and is presented on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the caption “Trade receivables, net – related party.

The Company used the rate implicit in the lease, where known, or its incremental borrowing rate as the rate used to discount the future lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company’s corporate segment leases approximately 100 square feet of office space in Brooklyn, NY on a month-to-month lease at a rent of $ 600 per month.

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, 333,650 shares of common stock were issued for the exercise of 333,650 Series B Warrants. 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 of five 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. 22 The following table summarizes information about shares issuable under warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Except for historical information contained in this report, the matters discussed are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “may”, “plans”, “potential” and “intends” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, identify forward-looking statements. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company’s management. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the effect of business and economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and their pricing; unexpected manufacturing or supplier problems; the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient credit arrangements; changes in governmental standards by which our environmental control products are evaluated and the risk factors reported from time to time in the Company’s SEC reports, including its recent report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events, our actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates. The estimates made are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and judgment of our management, who continually evaluate the judgments, estimates and assumptions and may employ outside experts to assist in the evaluations. Certain of our accounting policies are deemed “significant”, as they are both most important to the financial statement presentation and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024.

Effects of Inflation The Company’s business and operations have been affected by inflation during the periods for which financial information is presented. In response, the Company has instituted price increases and initiated cost-saving measures to mitigate the effects of inflation on operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working capital was $5,037,130 at March 31, 2025, compared to working capital of $8,103,457 at September 30, 2024. This includes cash and equivalents and restricted cash of $6,066,033 at March 31, 2025, and $5,420,392 at September 30, 2024. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the increase the current maturities of the Company’s long-term liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025, was $1,600,532 and used $2,752,236 of cash for the six-month period ended March 31, 2024. Our operating cash flow was mainly the result of our net loss, less the non-cash adjustments, combined with operating changes in inventory, accrued expenses, and contract liabilities. Trade receivables increased by $1,556,316 or 14% to $12,715,992 at March 31, 2025, from $11,159,676 at September 30, 2024. The increase in trade receivables is attributable to the remaining balance on the large sale in the Security segment, expected to be collected in the next quarter. Cash used by investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025, was $1,436,452 compared to $455,308 used for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, were driven by the Company’s purchase of property and equipment and investment in Masterpiece VR. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025, was $1,032,254 compared to $1,250,540 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025, were primarily driven by the proceeds from the Company’s revolving line of credit, note payable, and the exercise of 333,650 Series B Warrants. Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2024, were primarily driven by the proceeds from the Company’s revolving line of credit and payments on the Company’s debt. The Company’s working capital may not be sufficient to cover operating costs which indicates 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 $6,066,033 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company has (i) secured a line of credit for its Vicon brand to fund operations, which as of March 31, 2025, has available capacity of approximately 133,000, (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 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. The Company currently does not have adequate cash or available liquidity/available capacity on our lines of credit to meet our short or long-term needs. Absent an ability to raise additional outside capital and restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date. Each segment of the Company’s operations has positioned itself for growth and the Company’s long-term objectives include increasing marketing and sales for the Company’s products and services in each segment, increasing the Company’s presence through collaboration partnerships in each segment and through strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses for each segment. These long-term objectives will require sufficient cash to complete, and the Company expects to fund these objectives with cash on hand, issuance of debt, and from proceeds from the sale of the Company’s securities, which may not be sufficient to fully implement our growth initiatives. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to this uncertainty. 28 Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures reporting as promulgated under the Exchange Act is defined as controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our CEO and our CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the six months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. 29 Part II Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. Item 1A. Risk Factors Our business faces many risks, a number of which are described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on December 30, 2024 and amended on January 10, 2025 and April 11, 2025. The risks described in our Annual Report and below may not be the only risks we face. Other risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also materially and adversely impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in our Annual Report or described below occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted and the value of an investment in our securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the risks described in our Annual Report and below, and the information contained in the section captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report before deciding whether to invest in our securities. Our operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions and adverse economic conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. A deterioration in economic conditions and related drivers of global uncertainty and change, such as reduced business activity, high unemployment, rising interest rates, housing prices, and energy prices (including the price of gasoline), increased consumer indebtedness, lack of available credit, the rate of inflation, and perceptions of the economy, as well as other factors, such as terrorist attacks, protests, looting, and other forms of civil unrest, cyber-attacks and data breaches, public health emergencies (such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics), extreme weather conditions and climate change, significant changes in the political environment, political instability, armed conflict (such as the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the military conflict in Israel and Gaza) and/or public policy, including increased state, local or federal taxation, could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Major public health issues, including pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have adversely affected, and could in the future materially adversely affect, us due to their impact on the global economy and demand for our products and services; the imposition of protective public safety measures, such as shutdowns and restrictive health mandates; and disruptions in our operations, supply chain and sales and distribution channels, resulting in interruptions to our business and the supply of current products and offering of existing services, and delays in production ramps of new products and development of new services. In addition to an adverse impact on demand for our products and services, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions can have a significant impact on our suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, and other channel partners, and developers. Potential outcomes include financial instability, inability to obtain credit to finance business operations, and insolvency. As a result, our operating results may be impacted by the health of the global economy. Volatility and disruption in global capital and credit markets may lead to slowdowns or declines in client spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our business and financial performance, including new business bookings and collection of our accounts receivable, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions (including a reduction in the availability of credit, higher energy costs, rising interest rates, financial market volatility and lower than expected economic growth) that cause a slowdown or decline in client spending. Reduced purchases by our clients or changes in payment terms could adversely affect our revenue growth and cause a decrease in our cash flow from operations. Bankruptcies or similar events affecting clients may cause us to incur bad debt expense at levels higher than historically experienced. Further, volatility and disruption in global financial markets may also limit our ability to access the capital markets at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our ability to react to changing economic and business conditions. Accordingly, if global financial and economic volatility continues or worsens, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. 30 Adverse economic conditions can also lead to increased credit and collectability risk on our trade receivables, the failure of derivative counterparties and other financial institutions, limitations on our ability to issue new debt, reduced liquidity, and declines in the fair values of our financial instruments. These and other impacts can materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price. Changes in U.S. and international trade policies may adversely impact our business and operating results. Macroeconomic conditions and international trade policies may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Weak economic conditions or reduced consumer confidence can negatively impact demand for our products, potentially resulting in lower revenues and reduced operating income. We are also subject to risks arising from U.S. and foreign trade laws and regulations, including tariffs, duties, import restrictions, and changes to trade agreements that affect the products and materials we import. These risks may be heightened by shifts in government policy, including changes resulting from political transitions. For example, the U.S. government has enacted and proposed new tariffs on certain imported goods, and future changes in trade policy—whether through new legislation, administrative action, or retaliatory measures by other countries—could increase our costs or limit our ability to source or sell products across borders. There is ongoing uncertainty surrounding future trade agreements and tariff policies, including the U.S. relationship with key trading partners such as China, Mexico, and Canada. Any escalation in trade restrictions, imposition of new tariffs or duties, or retaliatory measures by foreign governments could lead to increased costs for our products and materials, disrupt our supply chain, or impact our competitiveness in certain markets. Additionally, changes to workplace regulations, sourcing requirements, or other restrictions tied to trade policy may adversely affect our operations. While we cannot predict the outcome or timing of any future trade policy actions, any such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
