Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
(this “Quarterly Report”) and the Company’s other communications and statements may contain 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”), including statements about the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates, projections and intentions. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in the Company’s forward-looking statements depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of the Company’s customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments, demand for the Company’s products, the duration and scope of the coronavirus
(“COVID-19”)
pandemic and its variants, actions government entities and businesses take in response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, including mandatory business closures; the impact of the pandemic and actions taken on regional economies; and the pace of recovery when the
COVID-19
pandemic subsides. In addition, on February 24, 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. The impact to Ukraine as well as actions taken by other countries, including new and stricter sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries and companies against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia, and actions taken by Russia and certain other countries in response to such sanctions, could result in a disruption in our supply chain and higher costs of our products. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
For information concerning these factors and related matters, see the following sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2021: (a) Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and (b) Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect the Company’s 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 statement made by the Company herein speaks as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references in this Quarterly Report to the “Company,” “Gencor,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” or similar words are to Gencor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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 notes 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 quarter and six months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2022.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
On October 1, 2020, the Company acquired the Blaw-Knox paver line and associated assets, including inventory, fixed assets and related intellectual property, from Volvo CE. The acquisition provided the Company entry into the asphalt paver sector of the asphalt industry. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The initial purchase price of approximately $14.4 million, which was subject to post-closing adjustments, was funded by cash on hand. After post-closing adjustments transacted during
 the
quarter ended March 31, 2021, the final purchase price was $13.8 million, including $10.4 million in inventory and $3.4 
million in fixed assets. There were no liabilities assumed. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, and for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, include the assets, liabilities and operating results of the paver line as of and for the periods then ended.
These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K

There were no accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
COVID-19
Pandemic
The Company continues to monitor and evaluate the risks to public health and the slowdown in overall business activity related to the
COVID-19
pandemic, including impacts on its employees, customers, suppliers and financial results. As of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted. However, the full impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic continues to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and as of the date this Quarterly Report is issued. As such, the full magnitude that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition and future results of operations is uncertain. Management continues to monitor the situation on the Company’s financial condition, operations, suppliers,

industry, customers, and workforce. As the spread of
COVID-19
and its variants continues, the Company’s ability to meet customer demands for products may be impacted or its customers may experience adverse business consequences due to
COVID-19
and its variants. Reduced demand for products or ability to meet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at the Company’s suppliers) could have a material adverse effect on its business operations and financial performance.
Global, market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.
Concerns over inflation, geopolitical issues, global financial markets and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to increased economic instability and expectations of slower global economic growth. Our business may be adversely affected by any such economic instability or unpredictability. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions has led to increased oil and natural gas prices. Such sanctions and disruptions to the global economy may lead to additional inflation and may disrupt the global supply chain and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to secure supplies. The increased cost of oil, along with increased or prolonged periods of inflation, would likely increase our costs in the form of higher wages, further inflation on supplies and equipment necessary to operate our business. There is a risk that one or more of our suppliers could be negatively affected by global economic instability, which could adversely affect our ability to operate efficiently and timely complete our operational goals.
Note 2 - Marketable Securities and Fair Value Measurements
Marketable debt and equity securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing or latest bid prices for Level 1 investments and market standard valuation methodologies for Level 2 investments. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification and are recognized as incurred in the condensed consolidated income statements. Net changes in unrealized gains and losses are reported in the condensed consolidated income statements in the current period.
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.
The fair value of marketable equity securities (stocks), mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, government securities, and cash and money funds, are substantially based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Corporate bonds are valued using market standard valuation methodologies, including: discounted cash flow methodologies, and matrix pricing or other similar techniques. The inputs to these market standard valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to: interest rates, credit standing of the issuer or counterparty, industry sector of the issuer, coupon rate, call provisions, maturity, estimated duration and assumptions regarding liquidity and estimated future cash flows. In addition to bond characteristics, the valuation methodologies incorporate market data, such as actual trades completed, bids and actual dealer quotes, where such information is available. Accordingly, the estimated fair values are based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments (Level 2). Fair values of the Level 2 investments are provided by the Company’s professional investment management firms. From time to time the Company may transfer cash between its marketable securities portfolio and operating cash and cash equivalents.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Note 3 – Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined under the first in, first out method and net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price of goods less reasonable costs of completion and delivery. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, possible alternative uses and other factors in determining net realizable value. The cost of work in process and finished goods includes materials, direct labor, variable costs and overhead. The Company evaluates the need to record inventory adjustments on all inventories, including raw material, work in process, finished goods, spare parts and used equipment. Used equipment acquired by the Company on trade-in from customers is carried at estimated net realizable value. Unless specific circumstances warrant different treatment regarding inventory obsolescence, an allowance is established to reduce the cost basis of inventories
 three to four years old by 50%, the cost basis of inventories four to five years old by 75%, and the cost basis of inventories greater than five years old to zero. Inventory is typically reviewed for obsolescence on an annual basis computed as of September 30, the Company’s fiscal year end. If significant known changes in trends, technology or other specific circumstances that warrant consideration occur during the year, then the impact on obsolescence is considered at that time.

For the quarter and six months ended
M
arch 31, 2022, there were no common stock equivalents included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were 252,000, which equates to 133,000 dilutive common stock equivalents. The weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended March 31, 2021 were 252,000, which equates to 129,000 dilutive common stock equivalents. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.
Note 6 – Customers with 10% (or greater) of Net Revenues
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 13.6% of net revenues. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, one other customer accounted for 12.0% of net revenues. During the six months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, no customer accounted for 10% or greater of net revenues.
Note 7 –
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and primarily consist of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes.
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns using current tax rates. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and the credits are expected to be used. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of the change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, the Company is more likely than not to realize the benefit of a deferred tax asset and whether a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a deferred tax asset. No such valuation allowances were recorded as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
The Company’s income tax provision is based on management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The tax provision in any period will be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as temporary differences in the deductibility of certain items, in addition to changes in tax legislation. As a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, its tax expense divided by
pre-tax
book income) from period to period. The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 reflect the impact of the reduced rates under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act) which was signed into law on December 22, 2017.
Note 8 – Revenue Recognition and Related Costs
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU
No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606). The following table disaggregates the Company’s net revenue by major source for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Revenues from contracts with customers for the design, manufacture and sale of custom equipment are recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the equipment. Control of the equipment transfers over time, as the equipment is unique to the specific contract and thus does not create an asset

with an alternative use to the Company. Revenues and costs are recognized in proportion to actual labor costs incurred, as compared with total estimated labor costs expected to be incurred, during the entire contract. All incremental costs related to obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred, as the amortization period is less than one year. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined.
Contract assets (excluding accounts receivable) under contracts with customers represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed on equipment sales recognized over time. These contract assets were $1,629,000 at March 31, 2022 and $1,903,000 at September 30, 2021, and are included in current assets as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates that all of the contract assets at March 31, 2022, will be billed and collected within one year.
Revenues from all other contracts for the design and manufacture of equipment, for service and for parts sales, net of any discounts and return allowances, are recorded at a point in time when control of the goods or services has been transferred. Control of the goods or service typically transfers at time of shipment or upon completion of the service.
Payment for equipment under contract with customers is typically due prior to shipment. Payment for services under contract with customers is due as services are completed. Accounts receivable related to contracts with customers for equipment sales were $130,000 and $210,000 at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
Product warranty costs are estimated using historical experience and known issues and are charged to production costs as revenue is recognized.
Under certain contracts with customers, recognition of a portion of the consideration received may be deferred and recorded as a contract liability if the Company has to satisfy a future obligation, such as to provide installation assistance. There were no contract liabilities other than customer deposits at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Customer deposits related to contracts with customers were $10,286,000 and $5,244,000 at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as freight revenue at the time of shipment, regardless of whether or not it is identified as a separate performance obligation. The cost of shipping and handling is classified as cost of goods sold concurrently with the revenue recognition.
All product engineering and development costs, and 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.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by performing a specific review of all account balances greater than 90 days past due and other higher risk amounts to determine collectability, and also adjusting for any known customer payment issues with account balances in the
less-than-90-day
past due aging category. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectible. Any recoveries of account balances previously considered in the allowance for doubtful accounts reduce future additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts also includes an estimate for returns and allowances. Provisions for estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments, are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Returns and allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using known issues and historical experience.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of 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, income from investees and litigation. 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, the performance of the investment portfolio and the demand for the Company’s products.
For information concerning these factors and related matters, see the following sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2021: (a) Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and (b) Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect the Company’s 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 the Company herein speak as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
Overview
Gencor is a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery used in the production and application of highway construction materials and environmental control equipment. The Company’s core products include asphalt plants, combustion systems, fluid heat transfer systems and asphalt pavers. The Company’s products are manufactured at three facilities in the United States.
Because the Company’s products are sold primarily to the highway construction industry, the business is seasonal in nature. Traditionally, the Company’s customers reduce their purchases of new equipment for shipment during the summer and fall months to avoid disrupting their peak season for highway construction and related repair work. The majority of orders for the Company’s products are thus received between October and February, with a significant volume of shipments occurring in the late winter and spring. The principal factors driving demand for the Company’s products are the overall economic conditions, the level of government funding for domestic highway construction and repair, Canadian infrastructure spending, the need for spare parts, fluctuations in the price of liquid asphalt, and a trend towards larger more efficient asphalt plants.
On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed into law a five-year, $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the “IIJ Act”), including $550 billion in new spending and reauthorization of $650 billion in previously allocated funds. The IIJ Act provides $110 billion for the nation’s highways, bridges and roads.
California’s Senate Bill 1 (“SB1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was signed into law on April 28, 2017. The legislative package invests $54 billion over the next decade to fix roads, freeways and bridges in communities across California and puts more dollars towards transit and safety. These funds will be allocated to state and local projects. Additionally, numerous other states have taken steps to increase their gas tax revenues in recent years.
Fluctuations in the price of carbon steel, which is a significant cost and material used in the manufacturing of the Company’s equipment, may affect the Company’s financial performance. The Company is subject to fluctuations in market prices for raw materials, such as steel. If the Company is unable to purchase materials it requires or is unable to pass on price increases to its customers or otherwise reduce its cost of goods sold, its business results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Also, a significant increase in the price of liquid asphalt could decrease demand for hot mix asphalt paving materials and certain of the Company’s products. Increases in oil prices also drive up the cost of gasoline and diesel, which results in increased freight costs. Where possible, the Company will pass increased freight costs on to its customers. However, the Company may not be able to recapture all of the higher costs and thus could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance.

The Company believes its strategy of continuing to invest in product engineering and development and its focus on delivering the highest quality products and superior service will strengthen the Company’s market position. The Company continues to review its internal processes to identify inefficiencies and cost-reduction opportunities. The Company will continue to scrutinize its relationships with suppliers to ensure it is achieving the highest quality materials and services at the most competitive cost.
COVID-19
Pandemic
The Company continues to monitor and evaluate the risks to public health and the slowdown in overall business activity related to the coronavirus
(“COVID-19”)
pandemic, including impacts on its employees, customers, suppliers and financial results. As of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted. However, the full impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic continues to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and as of the date this Quarterly Report is issued. As such, the full magnitude that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition and future results of operations is uncertain. Management continues to monitor the Company’s financial condition, operations, suppliers, industry, customers, and workforce. As the spread of
COVID-19
and its variants continues, the Company’s ability to meet customer demands for products may be impacted or its customers may experience adverse business consequences due to
COVID-19
and its variants. Reduced demand for products or ability to meet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at the Company’s suppliers) could have a material adverse effect on its business operations and financial performance.
Global, market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.
Concerns over inflation, geopolitical issues, global financial markets and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to increased economic instability and expectations of slower global economic growth. Our business may be adversely affected by any such economic instability or unpredictability. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions has led to increased oil and natural gas prices. Such sanctions and disruptions to the global economy may lead to additional inflation and may disrupt the global supply chain and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to secure supplies. The increased cost of oil, along with increased or prolonged periods of inflation, would likely increase our costs in the form of higher wages, further inflation on supplies and equipment necessary to operate our business. There is a risk that one or more of our suppliers could be negatively affected by global economic instability, which could adversely affect our ability to operate efficiently and timely complete our operational goals.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 versus March 31, 2021
Net revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were $30,654,000 and $21,352,000, respectively, an increase of $9,302,000. The increased revenues reflect the impact of the new five year, $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, the IIJ Act, signed into law in November 2021.
As a percent of sales, gross profit margins were 20.2% in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 28.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company continued to experience higher manufacturing costs associated with wages, steel and OEM parts pricing.
Product engineering and development expenses decreased $149,000 to $920,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $1,069,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to reduced headcount. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $474,000 to $3,364,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3,838,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The higher fiscal 2021 SG&A expenses were primarily due to professional fees to support business development efforts.

Table of Contents
Operating income increased from $1,239,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to $1,908,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, due primarily to increased sales and reduced professional fees.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, interest and dividend income, net of fees, was $296,000 as compared to $327,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The net realized and unrealized losses on marketable securities were $(1,488,000) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 versus net realized and unrealized gains of $1,294,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The fiscal 2022 investment losses reflect the decline in equity markets due to higher interest rates, inflation, and the Federal Reserve’s recent monetary tightening policy.
The effective income tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were 24.2% and 20.0%, respectively, based on the expected annual effective income tax rate.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $439,000, or $0.03 basic and diluted earnings per share, versus $2,288,000, or $0.16 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2022 versus March 31, 2021
Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $50,760,000 and $40,316,000, respectively, an increase of $10,444,000. The increased revenues reflect the impact of the new five year, $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, the IIJ Act, signed into law in November 2021. There were no revenues generated by Blaw-Knox during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as the facility was being readied to begin production.
Gross profit margins decreased to 19.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2022 from 22.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2021. Increases in wages, steel and OEM parts prices contributed to the lower overall gross margins during the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Product engineering and development expenses increased $355,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to salary increases as well as a full six months of engineering wages and benefits related to Blaw-Knox. SG&A expenses decreased $269,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in SG&A expenses from a full six months of SG&A wages and benefits related to Blaw-Knox employees was offset by reduced professional fees to support business development efforts.
The Company had operating income of $865,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 versus $181,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2021. The improved operating income was due primarily to the improved revenues.
For the six months ended March 31, 2022, interest and dividend income, net of fees, from the investment portfolio was $573,000, as compared to $1,130,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2021. Interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2021, included $456,000 of interest collected from a customer. Net realized and unrealized losses on marketable securities was $(1,065,000) for the six months ended March 31, 2022 versus net realized and unrealized gains of $3,488,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2021. The fiscal 2022 investment losses reflect the decline in equity markets due to higher interest rates, inflation, and the Federal Reserve’s recent monetary tightening policy.
The effective income tax rates for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, were 30.0% and 20.0%, respectively, based on the expected annual effective income tax rate. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2022 was $165,000, or $0.01 basic and diluted earnings per share, versus $3,839,000, or $0.26 basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company had no long-term or short-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2022 or September 30, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has funded $85,000 in cash deposits at insurance companies to cover related collateral needs. In April 2020, a financial institution issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit (“letter of credit”) on behalf of the Company for the benefit of one of the Company’s insurance carriers. The maximum amount that can be drawn by the beneficiary under the letter of credit is $150,000. The letter of credit expires in April 2023, unless terminated earlier, and can be extended, as provided by the agreement. The Company intends to renew the letter of credit for as long as the Company does business with the beneficiary insurance carrier. The letter is collateralized by restricted cash of the same amount on any outstanding drawings. To date, no amounts have been drawn under the letter of credit.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $22,571,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and $94,501,000 in marketable securities, including $24,022,000 in corporate bonds, $19,998,000 in equities, $10,130,000 in mutual funds, $9,849,000 in exchange-traded funds, $27,960,000 in government securities, and $2,542,000 in cash and money funds. The marketable securities are invested through a professional investment management firm. These securities may be liquidated at any time into cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s backlog was $44.9 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $42.6 million at March 31, 2021. The Company’s working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $154.7 million at March 31, 2022 and $155.4 million at September 30, 2021. Cash provided by operations during the six months ended March 31, 2022 was $1,045,000. The significant purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows reflect the recurring purchases and sales of United States treasury bills. Inventories increased by $5.3 million due to progress on several large contract orders where revenue is recognized at a point in time and some stock build to compensate for the increasing lead times from suppliers. Prepaid expenses increased $1.6 million due to estimated income tax deposits in excess of accrued income taxes, annual insurance contract renewals as well as deposits made on new equipment. Customer deposits increased by $5.0 million reflecting down payments on contract jobs, including several recent orders where revenues are recognized over time but work is yet to begin.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2022 of $1,706,000 were related to capital expenditures, primarily for manufacturing processing and finishing equipment.
Seasonality
The Company’s primary business is the manufacture of asphalt plants and related components and asphalt pavers. These products typically experience a seasonal slowdown during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. This slowdown often results in lower reported sales and operating results during the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year ended September 30.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
The Company believes the following discussion addresses its most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2021, “Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company uses 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. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable, but are inherently uncertain. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unanticipated events may occur. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated results.

Revenues & Expenses
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU
No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606).
Revenues from contracts with customers for the design, manufacture and sale of custom equipment are recognized over time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the equipment. Control of the equipment transfers over time, as the equipment is unique to the specific contract and thus does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. Revenues and costs are recognized in proportion to actual labor costs incurred, as compared with total estimated labor costs expected to be incurred, during the entire contract. All incremental costs related to obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred, as the amortization period is less than one year. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined.
Contract assets (excluding accounts receivable) under contracts with customers represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed on equipment sales recognized over time. These contract assets were $1,629,000 and $1,903,000 at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in current assets as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company anticipates that all of the contract assets at March 31, 2022, will be billed and collected within one year.
Revenues from all other contracts for the design and manufacture of equipment, for service and for parts sales, net of any discounts and return allowances, are recorded at a point in time when control of the goods or services has been transferred. Control of the goods or service typically transfers at time of shipment or upon completion of the service.
Payment for equipment under contract with customers is typically due prior to shipment. Payment for services under contract with customers is due as services are completed. Accounts receivable related to contracts with customers for equipment sales were $130,000 and $210,000 at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
Product warranty costs are estimated using historical experience and known issues and are charged to production costs as revenue is recognized.
Under certain contracts with customers, recognition of a portion of the consideration received may be deferred and recorded as a contract liability if the Company has to satisfy a future obligation, such as to provide installation assistance. There were no contract liabilities other than customer deposits at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Customer deposits related to contracts with customers were $10,286,000 and $5,244,000 at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as freight revenue at the time of shipment, regardless of whether or not it is identified as a separate performance obligation. The cost of shipping and handling is classified as cost of goods sold concurrently with the revenue recognition.
All product engineering and development costs, and 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.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by performing a specific review of all account balances greater than 90 days past due and other higher risk amounts to determine collectability, and also adjusting for any known customer payment issues with account balances in the
less-than-90-day
past due aging category. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectible. Any recoveries of account balances previously considered in the allowance for doubtful accounts reduce future additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts also includes an estimate for returns and allowances. Provisions for estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments, are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Returns and allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using known issues and historical experience.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined under the first in, first out method and net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price of goods less reasonable costs of completion and delivery. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, possible alternative uses and other factors in determining net realizable value. The cost of work in process and finished goods includes materials, direct labor, variable costs and overhead. The Company evaluates the need to record inventory adjustments on all inventories, including raw material, work in process, finished goods, spare parts and used equipment. Used equipment acquired by the Company on
trade-in
from customers is carried at estimated net realizable value. Unless specific circumstances warrant different treatment regarding inventory obsolescence, an allowance is established to reduce the cost basis of inventories three to four years old by 50%, the cost basis of inventories four to five years old by 75%, and the cost basis of inventories greater than five years old to zero. Inventory is typically reviewed for obsolescence on an annual basis computed as of September 30, the Company’s fiscal year end. If significant known changes in trends, technology or other specific circumstances that warrant consideration occur during the year, then the impact on obsolescence is considered at that time.
Marketable Securities and Fair Value Measurements
Marketable debt and equity securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing or latest bid prices for Level 1 investments and market standard valuation methodologies for Level 2 investments. Realized gains and (losses) on investment transactions are determined by specific identification and are recognized as incurred in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Net unrealized gains and (losses) are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the current period and represent the change in the fair value of investment holdings during the period.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment
Property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess over its fair value of the asset’s carrying value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s President (who is currently serving as the Company’s Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting 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 Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the President and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Because of inherent limitations, the Company’s 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 have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any current legal proceedings are material to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, operations, and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on December 17, 2021, should be carefully considered, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
and in our other filings filed with the SEC in connection with evaluating us, our business, and the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
During the six months ended March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form
10-K,
for the year ended September 30, 2021, other than the addition of the following risk factor:
Global, market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.
Concerns over inflation, geopolitical issues, global financial markets and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to increased economic instability and expectations of slower global economic growth. Our business may be adversely affected by any such economic instability or unpredictability. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions has led to increased oil and natural gas prices. Such sanctions and disruptions to the global economy may lead to additional inflation and may disrupt the global supply chain and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to secure supplies. The increased cost of oil, along with increased or prolonged periods of inflation, would likely increase our costs in the form of higher wages, further inflation on supplies and equipment necessary to operate our business. There is a risk that one or more of our suppliers could be negatively affected by global economic instability, which could adversely affect our ability to operate efficiently and timely complete our operational goals.
