Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
All amounts in thousands, except per share amounts
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2003.
The balance sheet at September 30, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Gencor Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002.
Note 2 Reorganization and Restructuring Costs
On December 31, 2001 the Amended Plan of Reorganization of Gencor Industries, Inc. became effective and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 in accordance with its earlier confirmed plan of reorganization.
As part of its planned reorganization, the Company announced its intent to dispose of its food segment. Accordingly, the Company reported the results of the remaining food processing equipment manufacturing business as discontinued operations. Most of the food processing equipment manufacturing operations were sold in May 2001. During September 2001, the Companys Swedish food processing operation was placed into receivership and subsequently disposed of during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company provided a loss contingency for the net assets of the Swedish operations during fiscal 2001. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company wrote off the remaining net assets of the Swedish operations against the loss reserve. The Company does not anticipate the realization of any significant proceeds or significant economic benefit from this transaction in the immediate future.
Restructuring costs consist of nonrecurring legal and professional fees relating to the bankruptcy filing and amending the Companys credit agreements.

Approximately 1,600,000 and 1,700,000 options to purchase common stock have not been included as common stock equivalents in the 2002 and 2001, respectively, per share calculations since the effect would not be dilutive or would be antidilutive.
Note 5 Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The total comprehensive income (loss) for the three-months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $1,656 and ($542), respectively. Total comprehensive income (loss) differs from net income (loss) due to gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation, which are reflected separately in the shareholders equity section of the balance sheet under the caption Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income.
Note 6 Income From Investees
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company received cash distributions of $4,239 from its 45% interest in Carbontronics LLC and 25% interest in Carbontronics II LLC and Carbontronics Fuels LLC. These interests were obtained as part of contracts to build four synthetic fuel production plants during 1998. The Company has no basis in these investments nor requirement to provide future funding. Any income

Table of Contents
arising from these investments is dependent upon tax credits (adjusted for operating losses at the fuel plants) being generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which will be recorded as received. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company received a distribution of $465.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net sales for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $13.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Domestic sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were $8.8 million reflecting an increase of $3.8 million from year ago levels. The increase in domestic sales is primarily due to the stalling of our industry in the first quarter of 2002, attributable to the September 11 events and the prevailing national economic conditions. This uncertainty was combined with the typical seasonal slowdown (see Seasonality).
Gross margins as a percent of net sales increased by 3.0% during the quarter ended December 31, 2002 from year ago levels. Gross margins on domestic sales increased by 8.0% as compared to the previous year. This reflects the increase in domestic orders. Gross margins from foreign sales declined 9.1% during the quarter from year ago levels resulting from the decline in foreign sales.
Product engineering and development costs along with selling and administrative expenses have remained relatively constant from year ago levels, reflecting the companies efforts to maintain the cost savings initiatives instituted during the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
Restructuring costs, primarily legal and professional fees relating to the reorganization were $302 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. There were no restructuring costs for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased by $138 from the first quarter of fiscal 2002, reflecting a decrease in the prime lending rate and a reduction in the debt balance.
Distributions from investments in Carbontronics LLC, Carbontronics II LLC, and Carbontronics Fuels LLC, were $4,239 in the first quarter of 2003 versus $465 for the same period of fiscal 2002.
Income tax expense increased by $2.1 million from year ago levels, reflecting the increase in pre-tax income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 27, 2001, the Company and its Senior Secured Lenders signed an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which specifies monthly principal payments of $320 beginning December 2001 and continuing through July 2002, then increasing to $400 in August 2002 and continuing to August 2005, with the remaining balance due September 6, 2005. It is managements intention to refinance any remaining balance. The interest rate during the term of the loan is based upon the prime rate plus 2%. The Company may elect to defer the first thirteen (13) monthly principal payments and if so incur an additional 5% interest premium on the total deferred principal payments until such time the deferred principal payments are paid. The Credit Agreement also provides for quarterly supplemental principal payments if certain operating levels are surpassed. During fiscal 2002, the Company paid $4,000 in principal and in November
8
Table of Contents
2002, paid an additional $1,500 in principal. As of December 31, 2002, there are no deferred principal payments. The Credit Agreement includes certain other financial and restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated credit agreement, the Company will not be paying dividends for the foreseeable future.
Pursuant to its Amended Plan of Reorganization, on January 29, 2002, the Company made a principal payment of $488 on the industrial revenue bond. Monthly principal and interest payments of $38 are required to be made until the balance is paid off in March 2005.
With the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in place, the Companys capital structure, liquidity and working capital have significantly improved. The current ratio of 1.39:1.00 and working capital of $13 million at December 31, 2002 compares to a current ratio of 1.66:1.00 and working capital of $18 million a year ago, which reflects the requirement to classify $5.2 million of debt as current maturities, based upon terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Cash provided (used) by operations increased from ($1.6 million) during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to $5.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2003. The $6.8 million improvement reflects favorable net cash inflows primarily from increases in income from investees and customer deposits. Cash used in financing activities reflected principal payments of $2,502 against the secured loan agreements, and $142 against the Industrial Revenue Bond.
Seasonality
The Company is concentrated in the asphalt-related business and is subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Traditionally, the Companys customers do not purchase new equipment for shipment during the summer and fall months to avoid disrupting their peak season for highway construction and repair work. This slow-down often results in lower reported sales and earnings and or losses during the first and fourth quarters of the Companys fiscal year ended September 30.
Forward-Looking Information
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), which represent the Companys expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of the Companys products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Companys control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of the Companys customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for the Companys products.

Table of Contents
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices principally located in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations, and market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Companys principal currency exposure against the U.S. dollar is the British pound. Periodically, the Company has used derivative financial instruments consisting primarily of interest rate hedge agreements to manage exposures to interest rate changes. The Companys objective in managing its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flow and to reduce its overall borrowing costs.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $28 million of debt outstanding. Under the Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Companys borrowings will bear interest at variable rates based upon the prime rate plus 2%. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 1% adverse movement in the interest rates on the debt outstanding at the end of December 2002. Such a movement in interest rates would cause the Company to recognize additional quarterly interest expense of approximately $70 along with a corresponding decrease in cash flows.
The above sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the effect on other variables such as changes in sales volumes or managements actions with respect to levels of capital expenditures, future acquisitions or planned divestitures, all of which could be significantly influenced by changes in interest rates and cause the results to differ significantly from those indicated by the sensitivity analysis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Companys President and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report. Based upon this evaluation, the Companys President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed is included in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
