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 in the interim financial information. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2012.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011 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.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Gencor Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.

Note 2 – Marketable Securities

Marketable debt and equity securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value determined by using quoted closing prices in active markets is categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Market standard valuation methodologies used to determine fair value is categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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 statements of operations in the current period and represent the change in the fair value of investment holdings during the 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 and mutual funds are substantially based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Corporate and municipal bonds are valued using market standard valuation methodologies including: discounted cash flow methodologies, 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 investments categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are provided by the Company’s professional investment management firm.

The following tables set forth, by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2012:


	Fair Value Measurements
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Equities	$	19,026,000	$	—	$	—	$	19,026,000

Total	$	34,139,000	$	42,099,000	$	—	$	76,238,000

Net unrealized losses as of June 30, 2012 were $99,000. Estimated interest accrued on the corporate and municipal bonds portfolios was $439,000 at June 30, 2012.

The following tables set forth, by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2011:


	Fair Value Measurements
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Equities	$	24,213,000	$	—	$	—	$	24,213,000

Total	$	28,797,000	$	43,689,000	$	—	$	72,486,000

Net unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011 were $3,789,000. Estimated interest accrued on the corporate and municipal bonds portfolios was $568,000 at September 30, 2011.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Note 3 – Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined principally by using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and market defined as replacement cost for raw materials and net realizable value for work in process and finished goods. 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, the cost basis of inventories three to four years old is reduced by 50%, while the cost basis of inventories four to five years old is reduced by 75%, and the cost basis of inventories greater than five years old is reduced to zero. Inventory is typically reviewed for obsolescence on an annual basis computed as of September 30^th, 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.

Net inventories at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 consist of the following:


	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
Raw materials	$	6,870,000	$	8,846,000
Work in process		393,000		2,017,000
Finished goods		4,576,000		1,726,000
Used equipment		144,000		289,000

	$	11,983,000	$	12,878,000

Note 4 – Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, consist of the following:


	June 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	10,048,000	$	7,039,000
Estimated earnings		4,169,000		2,059,000

Billings to date		10,001,000		4,648,000

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings	$	4,216,000	$	4,450,000

Note 5 – Earnings per Share Data

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

The number of potentially anti-dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options) excluded from the fully diluted calculation above was 345,500 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 27,500 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2011.

Note 6 – Other Matters

Income Taxes

The reason for the tax benefit during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, was a decrease of approximately $1.7 million in unrecognized tax benefits booked during the second fiscal quarter of 2011 following the conclusion of examinations by a state taxing authority.

Customers with 10% (or greater) of Net Revenues

As a result of timing and production schedules of a very large contract and resultant revenue recognition, approximately 44% of total net revenue in the June 30, 2012 quarter and 6% of total net revenue for the June 30, 2011 quarter were from one or more separate U.S. corporate entities ultimately affiliated with a foreign-based global company. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, this company represented 27% and 7% of total net revenue, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Gencor Industries, Inc. (“Gencor” or the “Company”), is a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery used in the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels, and environmental control equipment. The Company’s core products include asphalt plants, combustion systems, and fluid heat transfer systems. The Company’s products are manufactured in two 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 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. The majority of orders for the Company’s products are thus received between October and February, with a significant volume of shipments occurring prior to May. 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, infrastructure development in emerging economies, the need for spare parts, fluctuations in the price of crude oil (liquid asphalt as well as fuel costs), and a trend towards larger plants resulting from industry consolidation.

In August 2005, the federal government passed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”). This bill appropriated a multi-year guaranteed funding of $286.5 billion for federal highway, transit and safety programs that expired on September 30, 2009. On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), which included approximately $27.5 billion for highway and bridge construction activities. The ARRA and any future legislation approved by Congress could reduce infrastructure funding levels. In addition, funding restrictions can be imposed on states that do not comply with certain federal policies. On March 18, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (“HIRE”) Act. This law extended authorization of the surface transportation programs previously funded under SAFETEA-LU through December 31, 2010 at 2009 levels. In addition, the HIRE Act authorized a one-time transfer of $19.5 billion from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund related to previously foregone interest payments. On December 22, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Continuing Appropriations and Surface Transportation Extensions Act, 2011 extending funding for federal surface transportation programs authorized under SAFETEA-LU through March 4, 2011. On March 4, 2011, President Obama signed into law the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2011, providing an extension of Federal-aid highway, transit and other programs funded out of the Highway Trust Fund through September 30, 2011. On September 17, 2011, President Obama signed an eighth extension of SAFETEA-LU, authorizing funding at 2011 levels through March 31, 2012, and on March 30, 2012, the President signed into law the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012, a 90-day extension of the existing federal transportation reauthorization. The bill contained no policy changes and extended current programs and funding levels through June 30, 2012, pending enactment of a multi-year law reauthorizing such programs.

On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed a $118 billion transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”). MAP-21 includes a final three-month extension of SAFETEA-LU at current spending levels combined with a new two-year, $105 billion authorization of the federal highway, transit, and safety programs effective October 1, 2012. The new bill will provide states and communities with two years of steady funding needed to build roads, bridges, and transit systems. The Company believes this will have a modest impact on the road construction industry and will allow its customers to plan and execute longer term projects.

In addition, the Canadian government has been enacting from time to time infrastructure stimulus programs. The Company has continued to benefit from the activity associated with this funding.

The economic downturn over the past several years and the lack of a multi-year federal highway bill have resulted in reduced purchasing within the Company’s served markets. This had an adverse impact on sales and pricing pressures on the Company’s products, resulting in lower revenues and margins.

In addition to government funding and the overall economic conditions, fluctuations in the price of oil, which is a major component of asphalt mix, may affect the Company’s financial performance. An increase in the price of oil increases the cost of liquid asphalt and could, therefore, decrease demand for asphalt and certain of the Company’s products. Increases in oil prices also drive up the cost of gasoline, 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 increased costs and thus could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance.

Steel is a major component used in manufacturing the Company’s equipment. Fluctuations in the price of steel can have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. Where possible, the Company will pass on increased steel costs to its customers. However, the Company may not be able to recapture all of the increased steel costs and thus its financial results could be negatively affected.

For the long term, the Company believes the strategy of continuing to invest in product engineering and development and its focus on delivering a high-quality product and superior service will strengthen the Company’s market position when demand for its products rebound. In response to the short-term outlook, the Company has taken aggressive actions to conserve cash, right-size its operations and cost structure, and will continue to do so based on its forecasts. These actions included adjustments to workforce, reduced purchases of raw materials and reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company continues to review its internal processes to identify inefficiencies and cost reductions and will continue scrutinizing its relationships with external suppliers to ensure the Company is achieving the highest quality products and services at the most competitive cost.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended June 30, 2012 versus June 30, 2011

Net revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were relatively unchanged at $22,986,000 and $23,015,000, respectively.

As a percent of net revenue, gross profit margins increased from 18.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to 25.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Gross margins improved in 2012 primarily due to sales mix and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Product engineering and development expenses increased $123,000 to $670,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $413,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011, due to the establishment of an allowance of $500,000 to cover potential costs, legal fees, and other expenses in a number of commercial cases it is prosecuting or defending.

The Company had operating income of $2,401,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus operating income of $1,447,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the improved gross margins from cost-cutting measures implemented over the previous years.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, investment interest and dividend income, net of fees, from the investment portfolio was $581,000, as compared to $565,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The net realized and unrealized losses on marketable securities were $(1,290,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus net realized and unrealized losses of $(530,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was 30.1% versus 27.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The effective income tax rates for both years were impacted by tax-exempt interest income on municipal bonds, as well as net unrealized gains and losses on investments.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 versus June 30, 2011

Net revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $49,189,000 and $47,527,000, respectively, an increase of 3.5%.

As a percent of net revenue, gross profit margins increased to 21.4% in the nine months ended June 30, 2012 from 16.7% in the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The improved gross margins in 2012 resulted primarily from sales mix and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Product engineering and development expenses increased $154,000 to $1,764,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $337,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, due to higher legal expenses. The Company has established an allowance of $500,000 to cover potential costs, legal fees, and other expenses in a number of commercial cases the Company is prosecuting or defending.

The Company had operating income of $1,775,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 versus an operating loss of $(362,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The improvement in operating results was due to increased sales and related margins.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, investment interest and dividend income, net of fees, from the investment portfolio was $1,704,000, as compared to $1,469,000 in the 2011 comparable period. The net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities were $3,548,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 versus net realized and unrealized gains of $2,838,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was 31.7% versus a benefit of 16.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The tax benefit in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was due to a decrease of approximately $1.7 million in unrecognized tax benefits following the conclusion of examinations by a state taxing authority. The effective income tax rates in both years were also impacted by tax-exempt interest income on municipal bonds, as well as net unrealized gains and losses on investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company does not currently require a credit facility but continues to review and evaluate its needs and options for such a facility.

The Company had no long-term or short-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has funded $397,000 in cash deposits at insurance companies to cover related collateral needs.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $10,760,000 in operating cash, and $76,238,000 in its investment portfolio, including $19,026,000 in equities, $10,976,000 in mutual funds, $29,868,000 in municipal bonds, $12,231,000 in corporate bonds and $4,137,000 in cash and money funds. These 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 working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was equal to $95.5 million at June 30, 2012 and $89.8 million at September 30, 2011. Accounts payable and customer deposits increased with the increased sales and production in the third fiscal quarter of 2012 versus the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Increases in accrued expenses and other current liabilities reflect increased litigation allowances and current deferred tax liabilities from the timing of revenue recognition on percentage-of-completion contracts.

Cash provided by operations during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $9,818,000 primarily from net income, customer deposits on new bookings and increased accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were related to capital expenditures. There were no cash disbursements or receipts related to financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2012.

Seasonality

The Company’s operations are concentrated in the asphalt-related business and are typically subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. This slow-down often results in lower revenues, and earnings or losses during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year ended September 30.

Customers with 10% (or greater) of Net Revenues

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 the Company’s expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of the Company’s products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of the Company’s customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for the Company’s products.

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, 2011: (a) “Risk Factors” in Part I and (b) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II. 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 Report. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

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, 2011, “Accounting Policies.”

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the 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 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

Revenues from contracts for the design, manufacture and sale of asphalt plants are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting for these contracts recognizes revenue, net of any promotional discounts, and costs in proportion to actual labor costs incurred, as

compared with total estimated labor costs expected to be incurred during the entire contract. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is classified as current assets under “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings.” The Company anticipates that all incurred costs associated with these contracts at June 30, 2012 will be billed and collected within one year.

Revenues from all other contracts for the design and manufacture of custom equipment, for service and for parts sales, net of any discounts and return allowances, are recorded when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: product is delivered or service is performed, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using historical experience. The Company’s customers may qualify for certain cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Provisions for these rebates, as well as estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments, are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Product warranty costs are estimated using historical experience and known issues and are charged to production costs as revenue is recognized.

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 buckets. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectable. Any recoveries of account balances previously considered in the allowance for doubtful accounts reduce future additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Investments

The Company marks to market all trading securities and records any unrealized gains or losses as income or loss in the current 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices principally located in the United States. 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 may 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 any future variable rate debt is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow and reduce overall borrowing costs.

At June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company had no debt outstanding. The Company’s marketable securities are invested primarily in stocks, mutual funds, and corporate and municipal bonds through a professional investment management firm. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with investment 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) 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, 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 has been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer 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 nine months ended June 30, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
