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- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2003 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 3 – Earnings Per Share Data

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

The weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the first two quarters of 2003 and the first quarter of 2002 exclude approximately 1,616,000 and 1,676,000 stock options respectively, due to their antidilutive effect.

Note 4 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Total comprehensive income for the three-and six-months ended March 31, 2003 was $3,579 and $5,235 respectively, which compares favorably to the total comprehensive income for the three- and six-months ended March 31, 2002 of $1,916 and $1,374, respectively. Total comprehensive income differs from net income 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 5 – Income From Investees

During the first and second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company received cash distributions of $4,239 and $4,409, respectively, 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 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 and second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company received distributions of $465 and $1,061, respectively.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales for the six-months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $34.2 million and $33.3 million, respectively an increase of $.9 million or 2.7%. Domestic sales for the six-month period of fiscal 2003 were $25.2 million reflecting a $3.4 million increase from year ago levels. The increase in domestic sales is primarily due to the recovery of our industry from the September 11 events. Decreased asphalt plant orders at one of the Company’s wholly owned U.K. subsidiaries partially offset the increase in domestic sales. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 reflected a decrease of approximately $1,517 over the same period of the previous year. The foreign operations accounted for $782 of the decline due to unfavorable market conditions in the U.K. and increased competition in the Asian market. Domestic sales for the second quarter decreased by $735 from year ago levels, due to a delay in two customer shipments.

Gross margins as a percent of net sales declined by 1.0% during the six-months ended March 31, 2003 from year ago levels. Domestic margins decreased 3.4% during the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same period one year ago, due to LIFO inventory valuation adjustments in fiscal 2003. Gross margins from foreign sales declined the first six-months of fiscal 2003, but were consistent with prior year for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Product engineering and development costs increased $34 and $23

during the three- and six-month periods ended 2003. The increase reflects the increase in domestic sales during the first six-months of fiscal 2003. There were no significant changes in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2003.

Restructuring costs, primarily legal and professional fees relating to the reorganization were $302 during the first six-months of fiscal 2002. There were no restructuring costs for the first six-months of fiscal 2003.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense declined $240 for the six-month period of fiscal 2003 from the pervious year, reflecting the reduction in the debt balance and lower interest rates.

Distributions from investments in Carbontronics LLC, Carbontronics II LLC, and Carbontronics Fuels LLC, were $4,239 and $4,409 in the first and second quarters of 2003 versus $465 and $1,061 for the same periods of fiscal 2002.

Income tax expense increased by $2.9 million for the six-month period of fiscal 2003, 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 management’s intention to refinance any remaining balance. The interest rate during the term of the loan is based upon the prime rate plus 2%. During fiscal 2002, the Company paid $4,000 in principal and during the first six months of fiscal 2003, paid an additional $5,703. The Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement includes certain other financial and restrictive covenants.

Table of Contents

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 will continue until the balance is paid-off in March 2005.

With the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in place, the Company’s capital structure, liquidity and working capital have significantly improved. The current ratio of 1.40:1.00 and working capital of $13.2 million at March 31, 2003 compares to the current ratio of 1.63:1.00 and working capital of $17.9 million a year earlier, which reflects the payment of $5.7 million for debt reduction.

Cash provided (used) by operations increased from ($3.5 million) during the first six months of fiscal 2002 to $3.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2003. The $6.5 million improvement reflects favorable net cash inflows from increases in customer deposits of $2.7 million, income taxes payable of $2.5 million and, decreases in inventories of $1.2 million. Cash used in financing activities reflected principal payments of $5,703 against the secured loan agreements, and $250 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of the Company’s products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of the Company’s customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for the Company’s products.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 March 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $25 million of debt outstanding. Under the Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Company’s 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 March 2003. Such a movement in interest rates would cause the Company to recognize additional interest expense for the six-month period ended March 31, 2003 of approximately $139 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 management’s 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
