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 six months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2009, marketable securities consisted of $44,322 in municipal bonds $8,190 in Cash equivalents, and $1 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 instrument’s 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 Company’s assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009:

Note 6 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The total comprehensive income (loss) for the three-months and six-months ended March 31, 2009 was ($426) and ($1,001), respectively. Total comprehensive income for the three-months and six-months ended March 31, 2008, were $1,380, and $14,450, 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 consist of the receipt of contingent payments from the sales of the plants and the distribution thereof to its members. Carbontronics LLC has no other significant operations or assets. The operations of Carbontronics II, LLC consist of the receipt of royalty payments from the plants and the

Table of Contents

distribution thereof to its members. Carbontronics II, LLC has no other significant operations or assets. 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 is recorded as received. The Company received $48 in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and did not receive distributions in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The company received $15,625 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, and did not receive distributions in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. These distributions are subject to state and Federal income taxes.

The existing 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. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Our strong financial performance in the first quarter gave way to significantly weaker performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The global financial crisis has led to a decrease in the number of orders of our larger capital equipment, though this has been offset partially by an increase in sales of our aftermarket parts and ancillary services. Overall, we expect the second half of fiscal year 2009 to remain challenging.

For the long term, we believe our strategy of continuing to invest heavily in Product Engineering and Development and our focus on delivering a higher quality product and superior service will strengthen our market position when demand for capital equipment rebounds. In the short term, the current economic outlook leaves us with little confidence there will be a marked improvement in the economy for the balance of 2009. In response to our short-term outlook, we have already taken aggressive actions to right size our cost structure and have taken other steps to preserve the healthy state of our balance sheet.

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 also completed the transition of our investment portfolio to a more conservative strategy during this quarter by investing less in equities and more in bonds.

We continue to remain uncertain as to the state of the overall economy, and the impact, if any, the various governmental stimulus programs will have on revenues during the second half of 2009. However, we feel the actions we are taking to right size our cost structure now will prepare us for the future in the event of continued softness in demand for our larger capital equipment. Additionally, we will selectively and strategically build inventory in key product lines so we will be best positioned to meet or exceed expectations of our customers in terms of delivery time when the economic environment improves and access to capital is restored.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $15,416 and $24,573, respectively. Domestic sales during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $15,143 and $24,178, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $9,035 from the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Domestic sales were lower than the prior year’s comparable quarter primarily due to the overall worsening of the economy and tightening of credit availability.

Table of Contents

Foreign sales decreased $122 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $34,676 and $42,905, respectively. Domestic sales during the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $33,610 and $41,953, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $8,343. Domestic sales were lower than the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the overall worsening of the economy and tightening of credit availability.

Gross profit percentage decreased from 28% in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit percentage decreased from 26% for the six months ended March 31, 2008 to 21% in the six-months ended March 31, 2009. Overall, the decreases in gross profit margin were due primarily to decreases in revenues with a lag in reducing our cost structure to be in line with expectations for revenue.

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 recession and tightening of the credit markets in the second half of fiscal 2008 and first half of fiscal 2009 will have on future earnings.

Selling and administrative expense increased $244 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2008. This was due primarily to an increase in professional fees and services. Selling and administrative expense decreased $392 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, due mainly to decreases in personnel and also decreases in commissions associated with a decrease in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

We recognized income from investees (Carbontronics) of $48 in the six-month period ended March 31, 2009. We recognized income from investees (Carbontronics) of $15,625 in the six-month period ended March 31, 2008. We did not recognize income from investees (Carbontronics) in either of the quarters ended March 31, 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 existing 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 March 31, 2009, and for the six months ended March 31, 2009, the change in value of our marketable securities was a gain of $470, and a loss of $1,463, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, and for the six months ended March 31, 2008, the change in value of our marketable securities was a loss of $1,358, and $865, respectively. All of these decreases are the result of decreases in the market value of the securities held in the portfolio.

Included in other income for the six months ended March 31, 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 $1,038 and $8,987 as compared to the corresponding three month and six month periods ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2009, nor do we expect to receive significant distributions from Carbontronics in subsequent periods.

We entered into 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 provides for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory and real estate. The facility includes a $2 million limit on letters of credit. At March 31, 2009, we had $1 million of letters of credit outstanding. The interest rate at March 31, 2009, is at LIBOR plus 2.00% and subject to change based upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1:1. There are no required repayments as long as there are no defaults and there is adequate eligible collateral. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as security under the Agreement. We had no long term debt outstanding at March 31, 2009 or 2008.

As of March 31, 2009, we had $8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $53 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 $3.9 million at March 31, 2009 versus $16.1 million at March 31, 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.

In terms of working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities), our balance of $90 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2009, was in line with a working capital balance of $90 million at September 30, 2008.

Cash provided from Operations during the six months period ended March 31, 2009 was $4.7 million. This was driven in part by favorable reductions in accounts receivable and inventory.

Cash used for Investing activities during the six months period ended March 31, 2009 was $0.1 million and resulted from the purchase of fixed assets.

In terms of Financing activities, there were no cash disbursements or receipts during the quarter ended March 31, 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) “Management’s 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 management’s 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.”

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.

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 will use 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 its impact on earnings and cash flow and reduce its overall borrowing costs.

At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no debt outstanding. Under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, substantially all of the Company’s borrowings will bear interest at variable rates based upon the prime rate or LIBOR.

The Company’s 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 Company’s results of operations or equity.

The Company’s 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 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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “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 Company’s 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 March 31, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
