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 and nine months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2009.
The balance sheet at September 30, 2008 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, 2008.
Note 2 Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are categorized as trading securities and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing or latest bid prices. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification and are recognized as incurred in the statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations and represent the change in the fair value of investment holdings during the period. At June 30, 2009, marketable securities consisted of $51,715 in municipal bonds $5,441 in Cash equivalents, and $1,531 in equity stocks. At September 30, 2008, marketable securities consisted of $44,764 in municipal bonds and $9,212 in equity stocks.
Note 3 Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments is presented based upon a hierarchy of levels that prioritizes the inputs of 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). A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
If available, quoted market prices are used to value investments. Municipal bonds are valued at the closing price reported by the most active market on which the individual securities are traded (Level 1).
The following tables set forth, by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Companys assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2009:

Note 6 Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The total comprehensive income (loss) for the three-months and nine-months ended June 30, 2009 was ($570) and ($1,529), respectively. Total comprehensive income for the three-months and nine-months ended June 30, 2008 were $737, and $15,148, 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 income (Loss). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income.
Note 7 Income From Investees
The Company owned a 45% interest in Carbontronics LLC and a 25% interest in Carbontronics Fuels LLC and Carbontronics II, LLC. These interests were earned as part of value of risk on contracts to build four synthetic fuel production plants during 1998. The Company has no basis in these equity investments or requirement to provide future funding. The operations of Carbontronics LLC consisted of the receipt of contingent payments from the sales of the plants and the distribution thereof to its members. Carbontronics LLC had no other significant operations or assets. The operations of Carbontronics II, LLC consisted of the receipt of royalty payments from the plants and the distribution thereof to its members. Carbontronics II, LLC had no other significant operations or assets. Any income arising from these investments was dependent upon tax credits (adjusted for operating losses

at the fuel plants) being generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which is recorded as received. The Company received $48 in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and did not receive distributions in the quarters ended March 31, 2009 or June 30, 2009. The Company received $15,625 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, and did not receive distributions in the quarter ended June 30, 2008. These distributions are subject to state and Federal income taxes.
The synthetic fuel tax credit legislation expired at the end of calendar year 2007. Consequently, the four synthetic fuel plants were decommissioned. They were sold or transferred to site owners in exchange for a release of all contracted liabilities related to the removal of plants from the sites. The administrative partner has informed the Company that there were no operations in calendar 2008 and almost all of the partnership affairs are finalized. It is not possible to predict the amount, if any, of final distributions from the partnerships upon the final disposition and winding-up of operations.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
Sales continued to weaken during our third fiscal quarter as the roadbuilding industry languishes under the current economic conditions. Although the much-ballyhooed Stimulus program announced by President Obama at the beginning of the year was to have placed billions of federal money with States which had highway projects engineered and shovel ready, precious little has actually happened. As of this point in time, very few unemployed construction workers have left the unemployment lines and donned the orange jackets of road construction workers.
Our backlog of proposals to prospective buyers of asphalt plants and major pieces of equipment is in excess of $200 million, but very little movement is occurring as contractors are waiting for the States to move forward with the projects, or for availability of bank financing. In the meantime, the nations roads continue to languish in need of repair or expansion. We remain optimistic that this is a temporary situation and hopeful that orders of our larger capital equipment will improve in fiscal 2010, although at this time, the magnitude of that improvement cannot be determined.
Fortunately, the reduction in sales of our larger equipment has resulted in part in an increase in sales of components, aftermarket parts, and ancillary services as many customers are choosing to maintain versus replace or upgrade their equipment.
In the short term, the current economic outlook leaves us with little confidence that there will be a marked improvement in the economy and the roadbuilding industry for the balance of 2009.
For the long term, we believe our strategy of continuing to invest heavily in Product Engineering and Development and our focus on delivering a high-quality product and superior service will strengthen our market position when demand for capital equipment rebounds. In response to our short-term outlook, we have already taken aggressive actions to conserve cash, right size our operations and cost structure, and will continue to do so based on our forecasts. These actions include adjustments to workforce and staffing, reduced purchases of raw materials and reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses. We continue to review our internal processes to identify efficiencies and cost reductions and will continue scrutinizing our relationships with external suppliers to ensure we are achieving the highest-quality products and services at the most competitive cost.
We feel we are taking the appropriate actions to right size our cost structure which will prepare us for the future when the current deterrents to our market dissipate. Additionally, we will continue to strategically build inventory in key product lines so we will be best positioned to meet and exceed expectations of our customers in terms of delivery time when the economic environment improves and access to capital is restored.

Table of Contents
Overall, we expect our fourth fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009 to remain challenging, but are optimistic that significant improvement, and return to normalcy will begin during the last quarter of this calendar year. In the meantime, we are managing our strong cash reserves, and investments prudently, and profitably, with view to growing the company organically, as well as by acquisition, if the opportunity arises.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $11,674 and $23,907, respectively. Domestic sales during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $11,653 and $22,670, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $11,017. Domestic sales were lower than the prior years comparable quarter. We believe this was primarily due to the overall worsening of the economy and tightening of credit availability. Foreign sales decreased $1,127 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $46,350 and $66,812, respectively. Domestic sales during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $45,264 and $64,713, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $19,449. Domestic sales were lower than the comparable period in the prior year. We believe this was primarily due to the overall worsening of the economy and tightening of credit availability.
Gross profit percentage decreased from 20% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 17% in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit percentage decreased from 24% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 to 20% in the nine-months ended June 30, 2009. Overall, the decreases in gross profit margin were due primarily to decreases in revenues with less than a proportionate decrease in our existing cost structure.
Our revenues are concentrated in the asphalt-related business and are subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. We cannot predict what impact the current recession will have on future earnings.
Selling, general, and administrative expense decreased $803 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. Selling and administrative expense decreased $1,090 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. These reductions were primarily the result of decreases in personnel, deferral or cancellation of discretionary expenses, and also decreases in commissions associated with decreases in revenue versus comparable periods.
We recognized income from investees (Carbontronics) of $48 in the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009. We recognized income from investees (Carbontronics) of $15,625 in the nine-month period ended June 30, 2008. We did not recognize income from investees (Carbontronics) in either of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.
The operations of Carbontronics LLC consisted of the receipt of contingent payments from the sales from the plants and the distribution thereof to its members. Carbontronics LLC had no other significant operations or assets. The operations of Carbontronics II, LLC consisted of the receipt of royalty payments from the plants and the distribution thereof to its members. Carbontronics II, LLC had no other significant operations or assets. Any income arising from these investments was dependent upon tax credits (adjusted for operating losses at the fuel plants) being generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which were recorded as received. These distributions were subject to state and Federal income taxes. Distributions from these entities depended upon the production of these operations qualifying for tax credits under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code and the ability to economically produce and market synthetic fuel produced by the plants.
The synthetic fuel tax credit legislation expired at the end of calendar year 2007. Consequently, the four synthetic fuel plants were decommissioned. The plants were sold or transferred to site owners in exchange for a release of all contracted liabilities related to the removal of plants from the sites. The administrative partner has informed us that there were no operations in calendar 2008 and almost all of the partnership affairs were finalized in 2008. It is not possible to predict the amount, if any, of final distributions from the partnerships upon the final disposition and winding-up of operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the change in value of our marketable securities was a gain of $174, and a loss of $1,288, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we transferred $6,000 from our operating cash accounts to our investment portfolio. After this transfer, the cost basis in our investments portfolio grew from $46,000 to $52,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the change in value of our marketable securities was a loss of $2, and $867, respectively. All of these decreases were the result of decreases in the market value of the securities held in the portfolio.
Included in other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was the receipt of $4,100 in resolution of an outstanding claim against a former service provider less related legal costs of $700. The terms of the settlement are confidential and we do not expect any further collections or expenses related to this matter.
Income tax expense decreased by $441 and $9,429 as compared to the corresponding three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This is reflective of decreases in pre-tax income for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate our capital resources primarily through operations. Over the past three years, we also received cash from distributions from investees (Carbontronics). However, we did not receive significant distributions from Carbontronics for the three-month reporting period ended June 30, 2009, nor do we expect to receive significant distributions from Carbontronics in subsequent periods.
We maintained a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. The Agreement established a three year revolving $20 million credit facility and was renewed through July 31, 2009. The facility provided for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory, and real estate. The facility included a $2 million limit on letters of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had $1.1 million of letters of credit outstanding. The interest rate at June 30, 2009, is at LIBOR plus 2.00% and subject to change based upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. We were required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1:1. There were no required repayments as long as there were no defaults and there was adequate eligible collateral. Substantially all of our assets were pledged as security under the Agreement. We had no long term debt outstanding at June 30, 2009 or 2008. Prior to expiration of our credit facility with PNC Bank, we elected to amend this agreement as disclosed under the heading, Contractual Obligations, as set forth below in this Item 2.
As of June 30, 2009, we had $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $58.7 million in marketable securities. The marketable securities are invested through a professional investment advisor. The securities may be liquidated at any time into cash and cash equivalents.
Our backlog is at $2.6 million at June 30, 2009 versus $18.9 million at June 30, 2008. Orders have reduced significantly as a result of the recession and credit tightening in the second half of fiscal 2008 and first half of fiscal 2009. We are uncertain whether the decline in backlog was experienced by the industry as a whole.
In terms of working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities), our balance of $89 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2009, was in line with a working capital balance of $90 million at September 30, 2008.
Cash provided by Operations during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $126 thousand. This was driven in part by a reduction of revenue.
Cash utilized for Investing activities during the nine months period ended June 30, 2009 was $205 thousand and was primarily the result of capital expenditures. We historically operated a manufacturing facility and sales office in the United Kingdom. The revenues of the UK operations have been insignificant to our financial results. In June 2009, we sold our UK operations for $648 thousand dollars (not including transaction costs of $22 thousand dollars) and recognized a loss of $447 thousand dollars. We retained ownership of the building and land, the brand

name (General Combustion), and the associated intellectual property (e.g., engineering drawings). Consequently, and going forward, we currently do not expect to have Market Risk associated with the UK operations.
In terms of Financing activities, there were no cash disbursements or receipts during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Seasonality
We are concentrated in the asphalt-related business and subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Traditionally, our 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 our fiscal year ended September 30.
Forward-Looking Information
This Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), which represent our expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of our products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of our customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for our products.
For information concerning these factors and related matters, see the following sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008: (a) Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and (b) Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect our results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements made by us herein speak as of the date of this Report. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require managements most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Accounting policies, in addition to the critical accounting policies referenced below, are presented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statement included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008, Accounting Policies.
SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165): In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events. This pronouncement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 provides guidance on the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions which occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures an entity should make regarding events or transactions which occurred after the balance sheet date. We adopted SFAS 165 during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and its application had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were issued, August 10, 2009.

Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are used, among other places, when accounting for certain revenue (e.g. contract accounting), expense, and asset and liability valuations. We believe the estimates and assumptions made in preparing the consolidated financial statements are reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unanticipated events may occur. We are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated results.
Revenues
Revenues from contracts for the design and manufacture of certain custom equipment are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from all other sales are recorded as the products are shipped or service is performed.
The percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long term contracts recognizes revenue in proportion to actual labor costs incurred as compared with total estimated labor costs expected to be incurred during the entire contract. All selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Provision is made for any anticipated contract losses in the period that the loss becomes evident.
Investments
We mark to market all trading securities and record any unrealized gain or loss as income or loss in the current period.
Investment in Unconsolidated Investees
We owned a 45% interest in Carbontronics LLC and a 25% interest in Carbontronics Fuels LLC and Carbontronics II LLC. These interests were obtained as part of contracts to build four synthetic fuel production plants during 1998. We have no basis in these equity investments or requirement to provide future funding. Any income arising from these investments was dependent upon tax credits (adjusted for operating losses at the fuel plants) being generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which were recorded as received. The synthetic fuel tax credit legislation expired at the end of calendar year 2007.
Contractual Obligations
We amended the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., on July 23, 2009. The original agreement was set to expire on July 31, 2009, and rather than let it expire, we elected to amend this agreement and reduce the amount of the credit facility from $20 million to $1.5 million. The facility also includes a $1.285 million limit on letters of credit, which is reduced from our original $2 million limit. We elected to reduce our credit facility at this time because we believe the higher amount associated with the original line was not needed. We are currently evaluating other options for a revolving credit facility.
Pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., our credit facility shall continue until April 30, 2010, unless terminated sooner. We secured this revolving credit facility with a pledge of $2 million of assets from our investment portfolio by opening a separate bank account with PNC Bank, N.A. This pledge is governed by the Pledge Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., dated July 23, 2009. In connection with the Third Amendment to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., all representations, warranties, covenants, rights, duties and obligations set forth in the original agreement continue to apply, except as modified.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company historically operated a manufacturing facility and sales office in the United Kingdom. The revenues of the UK operations have been insignificant to the Companys financial results. In June 2009, the Company sold its UK operations for $648 thousand dollars (not including transaction costs of $22 thousand dollars) and recognized a loss of $447 thousand dollars. Gencor retained ownership of the building and land, the brand name (General Combustion), and the associated intellectual property (e.g., engineering drawings). Consequently, and going forward, the Company currently does not expect to have Market Risk associated with the UK operations.
At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no debt outstanding. Under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, substantially all of the Companys borrowings bore interest at variable rates based upon the prime rate or LIBOR.
The Companys marketable securities are invested in stocks and bonds through a professional investment advisor. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of securities, it is possible that changes in these risk factors could have an adverse material impact on the Companys results of operations or equity.
The Companys 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 divestures, all of which could be significantly influenced by changes in interest rates.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure controls and procedures are met and no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company has been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
