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 losses of $ 28,112,368 and $ 7,229,491 for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively and a loss of $ 20,556,147 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and has debt obligations over the next fiscal year of $ 6,662,656 that raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

While the Company’s losses 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. These transactions add additional significant non-operational expenses which are non-cash in nature. The Company has $ 20,505,781 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company has (i) secured a line of credit for its Vicon brand to fund operations, which as of December 31, 2025, has available capacity of approximately $ 420,000 , (ii) continually reevaluate our pricing model on the Company’s Vicon brand to improve margins on those products, (iii) raised $ 5,657,264 through the exercise of our Series B warrants during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (iv) raised $ 6,000,000 in gross proceeds in equity offering during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and an additional $ 4,000,000 in gross proceeds subsequent to December 31, 2025. 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 the Company’s current operations for at least the next twelve months, there is no guarantee that the Company 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. 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025.

Field: Page; Sequence: 11; Value: 2

Field: /Page

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2025, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 adopted this standard on October 1, 2025. There has been no material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited financial statements and related disclosures.

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.

Field: Page; Sequence: 12; Value: 2

Field: /Page

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This guidance contains amendments that provide decision-useful information to investors and other financial statement users while reducing the time and effort necessary to analyze and estimate credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 - Interim Reporting (“ASU 2025-11”) which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-11 may have on the Company’s unaudited 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 months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024:


For the three months ended
December 31, 2025	December 31, 2024
Over time	70 %	66 %
Point-in-time	30 %	34 %
Revenue performance obligation percentage	30 %	34 %

NOTE 4 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net 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 months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the following items were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect is anti-dilutive:


For the three months ended
December 31, 2025	December 31, 2024
Options	7	7
Warrants	1,068,339	3,318,556
Anti-dilutive shares	1,068,339	3,318,556

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.

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.

Digital Assets – SOL

On July 29, 2025, the Company invested $ 998,642 in Solana (SOL) and staked our holdings. SOL is a fungible crypto asset that meets the criteria for an intangible asset, resides on a distributed ledger, is secured by cryptography, and does not grant enforceable rights to underlying goods or services to its holder. The digital assets were measured at fair value after acquisition, with changes reported in net income. Staking earnings are recorded as revenue.

Digital Asset staking allows holders of specific cryptocurrencies to earn rewards for helping to validate blocks of transaction data as it is submitted to the blockchain network.

The staking process serves two key purposes:

| ● | Ensures
the accuracy of new information as it is added to the blockchain. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Helps
to secure the underlying blockchain network against the majority of the network taking over control, known as a 51% attack. |

The staking process uses incentives and penalties governed by computer-based rules to encourage honest participation in the network. Stakers who act within the rules of the protocol receive rewards for their contributions, while those who act dishonestly can face penalties, such as losing their staked cryptocurrency through a process called slashing. Staking rewards are distributed as newly minted cryptocurrency units, oftentimes at a proportionate rate to the amount a person stakes. With some proof-of-stake blockchains, depositing more assets in a staking smart contract increases the chance of being selected to validate blocks. This mechanism is based on the assumption that those with more “skin in the game” are more likely to act within the best interests of the network because they have more to lose financially if their assets are slashed (confiscated by the network). However, to avoid favoring wealthier participants, some protocols incorporate randomness to ensure everyone, including those with smaller stakes, has a chance to earn rewards.

Staking incentives, in the form of additional SOL, are recognized on the date received at the fair market value on that date. There are no lockups or restrictions on the Company’s digital asset holdings due to staking.

The Company’s digital assets as of December 31, 2025, and September 30, 2025, are as follows.

	December 31, 2025	September 30, 2025

Warrant Liabilities

The value of the Series A Warrants is based on the market value of our common stock on the balance sheet date.

The fair value of the Series B Warrants is estimated on the balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common shares, expected share price volatility, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and the Company’s expected dividend yield.

At December 31, 2025, and September 30, 2025, the following inputs were used in the Black-Scholes model.

	December 31, 2025	September 30, 2025
Expected term	3.33 Years	3.59 Years
Risk-free interest rate	3.59 %	3.61 %

NOTE 16 – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Project contracts typically provide for a schedule of billings on percentage of completion of specific tasks inherent in the fulfillment of the Company’s performance obligation(s). The schedules for such billings usually do not precisely match the schedule on which costs are incurred. As a result, contract revenue recognized in the statements of operations can and usually does differ from amounts that can be billed to the customer at any point during the contract. Amounts by which cumulative contract revenue recognized on a contract as of a given date exceeds cumulative billings and unbilled receivables to the customer under the contract are reflected as a current asset in the 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:

Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	December 31, 2025 — $ 14,433,807	$	10,344,923

NOTE 17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

On January 6, 2025, the Company and Saagar Govil signed an agreement to revise the purchase price structure and payment terms.

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 December 31, 2025, there were royalties receivable from the sale of Cemtrex, XR, Inc. of $ 462,467 , of which $ 240,000 is considered short-term and is presented on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the caption “Trade receivables, net – related party.

Item 2. 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.

General Overview

The Company’s reporting segments consist of Security and Industrial Services. Additionally, the Company’s operational structure also reports unallocated corporate expenses.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Field: /Page

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, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital was $24,748,544 at December 31, 2025, compared to working capital of $5,184,339 at September 30, 2025. This includes cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $21,782,533 at December 31, 2025, and $6,347,041 at September 30, 2025. The increase in working capital was primarily due to cash raised in the equity offerings and Series B Warrant exercises and the payment of the Company’s debt through equity.

Cash used by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $891,914 and $1,201,817 for the three months ended December 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, contract assets, and accrued expenses.

Trade receivables decreased by $3,431,109 or 26% to $9,702,315 at December 31, 2025, from $13,133,424 at September 30, 2025. The decrease in trade receivables is attributable to a decrease in sales as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year2025.

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 $21,782,533 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company has (i) secured a line of credit for its Vicon brand to fund operations, which as of December 31, 2025, has available capacity of approximately $420,000, (ii) continually reevaluate our pricing model on our Vicon brand to improve margins on those products, (iii) raised $5,657,264 through the exercise of our Series B warrants during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (iv) raised $6,000,000 in gross proceeds in equity offering during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and an additional $4,000,000 in gross proceeds subsequent to December 31, 2025.

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.

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 December 31, 2025. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that as of December 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 three months ended December 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.
