PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

General

Gencor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery used in the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels, and environmental control equipment. The Company’s products are manufactured in two facilities in the United States and one facility, until June 30, 2009, located in the United Kingdom. The Company’s products are sold through a combination of Company sales representatives and independent dealers and agents located throughout the world.

The Company designs, manufactures and sells machinery and related equipment used primarily for the production of asphalt and highway construction materials. The Company’s principal core products include asphalt plants, combustion systems and fluid heat transfer systems. The Company believes that its technical and design capabilities, environmentally friendly process technology, and wide range of products have enabled it to become a leading producer of equipment worldwide. The Company believes it has the largest installed base of asphalt production plants in the United States.

Because the Company’s products are sold primarily to the highway construction industry, the business is seasonal in nature. The majority of orders for the Company’s products are 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 level of government funding for domestic highway construction and repair, infrastructure development in emerging economies, the need for spare parts, and a trend towards larger plants resulting from industry consolidation.

In 1968, the Company was formed by the merger of Mechtron Corporation with General Combustion, Inc. and Genco Manufacturing, Inc. The new entity reincorporated in Delaware in 1969 and adopted the name Mechtron International Corporation in 1970. In 1985, the Company began a series of acquisitions into related fields starting with the Beverley Group Ltd. in the United Kingdom (the “UK”). Hy-Way Heat Company, Inc. and the Bituma Group were acquired in 1986. In 1987, the Company changed its name to Gencor Industries, Inc. and acquired the Davis Line Inc. and its subsidiaries in 1988.

In January 1998, the Company finalized agreements with Carbontronics, LLC (“CLLC”) pursuant to which the Company sold, designed, manufactured, and installed four synthetic fuel production plants. These plants were subsequently sold by CLLC to a limited partnership (“LP”), Carbontronics Synfuels Investors, L.P., which was the owner of the plants. The Company was paid in full for these plants in 1998. In addition to payment for the plants, the Company received a member interest of 45% in CLLC. Revenue to CLLC was based upon the production of these plants continuing to qualify for tax credits under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the ability to economically produce and successfully market synthetic fuel produced by the plants. To the extent the LP was successful in producing fuel which qualifies for tax credits, sold the synthetic fuel, sold the tax credits to investors, and had sufficient cash flow to cover all operating expenses, then the LP remitted cash to CLLC as additional purchase price for the sale of the plants. CLLC generally distributed any cash receipts to its investors.

Also, the Company received a 25% partnership position in the General Partner (“GP”) of the LP and in Carbontronics II, LLC (“C2LLC”). C2LLC received royalty payments from the LP only if the LP had been successful in producing fuel which qualified for tax credits, sold the synthetic fuel, sold the tax credits to investors, and had sufficient cash flow to cover all other operating expenses. The remaining interests in the GP, CLLC, and C2LLC were owned by other, unrelated entities. An administrative member of the GP, not the Company, was responsible for administration of the day-to-day affairs of the GP and LP. The Company was entitled to appoint one of the three members of the GP Management Committee and had 1/3 of the voting rights thereof. As a part of the member positions in CLLC, C2LLC, and the GP (collectively “Investees”), the Company had the potential for income subject to the performance of the LP.

The 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 informed the Company 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 of final distributions from the partnerships upon the final disposition and winding-down of operations. Futures distributions are not anticipated to be material.

The Company received $19.9 million of distributions from Investees in fiscal 2007, $15.6 million of distributions in fiscal 2008 and $48,000 of distributions in fiscal 2009. These distributions are subject to state and federal income taxes.

Products

Asphalt Plants. The Company manufactures and produces hot-mix asphalt plants used in the production of asphalt paving materials. The Company also manufactures related asphalt plant equipment including hot mix storage silos, fabric filtration systems, cold feed bins and other plant components. The Company’s H&B (Hetherington and Berner) product line is the world’s oldest asphalt plant line, first manufactured in 1894. The Company’s subsidiary, Bituma Corporation, formerly known as Boeing Construction Company, developed the continuous process for asphalt production, which has been adopted as the United States industry’s standard technology, as well as patented the Gencor counterflow technology, several adaptations of which have become the industry standard, which recaptures and burns emissions and vapors, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient process. The Company manufactures a very comprehensive range of fully mobile batch plants, as well as trommel screens.

Combustion Systems and Industrial Incinerators. The Company manufactures combustion systems, which are large burners that can transform most solid, liquid or gaseous fuels into usable energy, or burn multiple fuels, alternately or simultaneously. Through its subsidiary General Combustion, the Company has been a significant source of combustion systems for the asphalt and aggregate drying industries since the 1950’s. The Company also manufactures soil remediation machinery, as well as combustion systems for rotary dryers, kilns, fume and liquid incinerators and fuel heaters. The Company believes maintenance and fuel costs are lower for its burners because of their superior design.

Fluid Heat Transfer Systems. The Company’s General Combustion subsidiary also manufactures the Hy-Way heat and Beverley lines of thermal fluid heat transfer systems and specialty storage tanks for a wide array of industry uses. Thermal fluid heat transfer systems are similar to boilers, but use high temperature oil instead of water. Thermal fluid heaters have been replacing steam pressure boilers as the best method of heat transfer for storage, heating and pumping viscous materials (i.e., asphalt, chemicals, heavy oils, etc.) in many industrial and petrochemical applications worldwide. The Company believes the high efficiency design of its thermal fluid heaters can outperform competitive units in many types of process applications.

Product Engineering and Development

The Company is engaged in product engineering and development efforts to expand its product lines and to further develop more energy efficient and environmentally compatible systems.

Significant developments include the use of cost effective, non-fossil fuels, biomass (bagasse, municipal solid waste, sludge and wood waste), refuse-derived fuel, coal and coal mixtures, the economical recycling of old asphalt and new designs of environmentally compatible asphalt plants. Product engineering and development activities are directed toward more efficient methods of producing asphalt and lower cost fluid heat transfer systems. In addition, efforts are also focused on developing combustion systems that operate at higher efficiency and offer a higher level of environmental compatibility. The Company also continues to evaluate opportunities in the energy field.

Sources of Supply and Manufacturing

Substantially all products sold by the Company and its subsidiaries are manufactured or assembled by the Company, except for procured raw materials and hardware. The Company purchases a large quantity of steel, raw materials and hardware used to manufacture its products from hundreds of suppliers and is not dependent on any single supplier. Periodically, the Company reviews the cost effectiveness of internal manufacturing versus outsourcing its product lines to independent third parties and currently believes it has the internal capability to produce the highest quality product at the lowest cost. This, however, may change from time to time.

Seasonality

The Company is concentrated in the asphalt-related business and subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Traditionally, the Company’s customers do not purchase new equipment for shipment during the summer and fall months to avoid disrupting their peak season for highway construction and repair work. This slow-down often results in lower reported sales and earnings and/or losses during the first and fourth quarters of the Company’s fiscal year.

Competition

The markets for the Company’s products are highly competitive. Within a given product line, the industry remains fairly concentrated, with typically a small number of companies competing for the majority of a product line’s industry sales. The principal competitive factors include technology and overall product design, dependability and reliability of performance, brand recognition, pricing and after-the-sale customer support. Management believes its ability to compete depends upon its continual efforts to improve product performance and dependability, competitively price its products, and provide the best customer support and service in the industry.

Sales and Marketing

The Company’s products and services are marketed internationally through a combination of Company employed sales representatives and independent dealers and agents.

Sales Backlog

The Company’s manufacturing processes allow for a relatively short turnaround from the order date to shipment date of usually less than ninety days. Therefore, the size of the Company’s backlog should not be viewed as an indicator of the Company’s annualized revenues or future financial results. The Company’s backlog was approximately $13 million and $9 million as of December 1, 2009 and December 1, 2008, respectively.

Financial Information about Geographic Areas Reporting Segments

The Company sold its operations in the United Kingdom in June 2009. For a geographic breakdown of revenues see the table captioned Reporting Segments in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

Licenses, Patents and Trademarks

Government Regulations

The Company believes its design and manufacturing processes meet all industry and governmental agency standards that may apply to its entire line of products, including all domestic and foreign environmental, structural, electrical and safety codes. The Company’s products are designed and manufactured to comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Certain state and local regulatory authorities have strong environmental impact regulations. While the Company believes that such regulations have helped, rather than restricted its marketing efforts and sales results, there is no assurance that changes to federal, state, local, or foreign laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s products and earnings in the future.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company believes it is in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. The Company does not expect any material impact on future operating costs as a result of compliance with currently enacted environmental regulations.

Employees

As of September 30, 2009, the Company employed a total of 282 employees, all in its domestic operations. The Company has collective bargaining agreements covering production and maintenance employees at its Marquette, Iowa facility. The remaining domestic employees are not represented by a labor union or collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company presently deems less significant may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. The order of these risk factors does not reflect their relative importance or likelihood of occurrence.

The business may be adversely affected by the current economic recession.

The domestic and international economies are experiencing a significant recession. This recession has been magnified by the tightening of the credit markets. The domestic and international markets may remain depressed for an undeterminable period of time. The Company’s sales to contractors are dependent on construction and infrastructure spending and availability of credit to its customers. Changes in construction and governmental spending have had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The business is affected by the cyclical nature of the markets it serves.

The demand for the Company’s products and service is dependent on general economic conditions and more specifically, the commercial construction industry. Adverse economic conditions may cause customers to forego or delay new purchases and rely more on repairing existing equipment thus negatively impacting the Company’s sales and profits. Rising gas and oil prices, increasing steel prices and shortage of qualified workers can have adverse effects on the Company. Market conditions could limit the Company’s ability to raise selling prices to offset increases in inventory costs.

The business is affected by the level of government funding for highway construction.

Many contractors depend on funding by federal and state agencies for highway, transit and infrastructure programs. Future legislation may increase or decrease government spending, which if decreased, could have a negative affect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Federal funding of infrastructure may be decreased in the future, especially since the United States is currently experiencing an economic recession.

If the Company fails to comply with requirements relating to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the business could be harmed and its stock price could decline.

Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require the Company to assess its internal control over financial reporting annually. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess its internal control over financial reporting are complex. They require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation of any significant deficiencies in and/or material weaknesses of internal controls in order to meet the detailed standards under these rules. The Company has evaluated its internal control over financial reporting as effective as of September 30, 2009. See Item 9A – Controls and Procedures – Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Although the Company has evaluated its internal control over financial reporting as effective as of September 30, 2009, in future fiscal years, the Company may encounter unanticipated delays or problems in assessing its internal control over financial reporting as effective or in completing its assessments by the required dates. In addition, the Company cannot assure you that its independent registered public accountants will attest that internal control over financial reporting are effective in future fiscal years. If the Company cannot assess its internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

The Company may be required to reduce its profit margins on contracts on which it uses the percentage-of-completion accounting method.

The Company records revenues and profits on many of its contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As a result, revisions made to the estimates of revenues and profits are recorded in the period in which the conditions that require such revisions become known and can be estimated. Although the Company

believes that its profit margins are fairly stated and that adequate provisions for losses for its fixed-price contracts are recorded in the financial statements, as required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company cannot assure you that its contract profit margins will not decrease or its loss provisions will not increase materially in the future.

The Company may encounter difficulties with future acquisitions.

As part of its growth strategy, the Company intends to evaluate the acquisitions of other companies, assets or product lines that would complement or expand the Company’s existing businesses or broaden its customer relationships. Although the Company conducts due diligence reviews of potential acquisition candidates, it may not be able to identify all material liabilities or risks related to potential acquisition candidates. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to locate and acquire any business, retain key personnel and customers of an acquired business or integrate any acquired business successfully. Additionally, there can be no assurance that financing for any acquisition, if necessary, will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will be able to accomplish its strategic objectives in connection with any acquisition. Although the Company periodically considers possible acquisitions, no specific acquisitions are probable as of the date of this Report on Form 10-K.

Demand for the Company’s products is cyclical in nature.

Orders for the Company’s products slow down during the summer and fall months since its customers generally do not purchase new equipment for shipment in their peak season for highway construction and repair work. In addition, demand for the Company’s products depends in part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures by the highway construction industry. The highway construction industry historically has been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to general downturns in the economy. Decreases in industry spending could have a material adverse effect upon demand for the Company’s products and negatively impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of its common stock.

The Company’s marketable securities are comprised of stocks and bonds invested through a professional investment advisor and are subject to various risks such as interest rates, markets, and credit.

Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of securities, changes in these risk factors could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

There are and will continue to be quarterly fluctuations of the Company’s operating results.

The Company’s operating results historically have fluctuated from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including the value, timing and shipment of individual orders and the mix of products sold. Revenues from certain large contracts are recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. The Company recognizes product revenues upon shipment for the rest of its products. The Company’s asphalt production equipment operations are subject to seasonal fluctuation, which may lower revenues and result in possible losses in the first and fourth fiscal quarters of each year. Traditionally, asphalt producers do not purchase new equipment for shipment during the summer and fall months to avoid disruption of their activities during peak periods of highway construction.

If the Company is unable to attract and retain key personnel, its business could be adversely affected.

The success of the Company will continue to depend substantially upon the efforts, abilities and services of its management team and certain other key employees. The loss of one or more key employees could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, either through direct hiring, or acquisition of other businesses employing such persons, will also be an important factor in determining its future success.

The Company may be required to defend its intellectual property against infringement or against infringement claims of others.

The Company holds numerous patents covering technology and applications related to various products, equipment and systems, and numerous trademarks and trade names registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in various foreign countries. There can be no assurance as to the breadth or degree of protection that existing or future patents or trademarks may afford the Company, or that any pending patent or trademark applications will result in issued patents or trademarks, or that the Company’s patents, registered trademarks or patent applications, if any, will be upheld if challenged, or that competitors will not develop similar or superior methods or products outside the protection of any patents issued, licensed or sublicensed to the Company. Although the Company believes that none of its patents, technologies, products or trademarks infringe upon the patents, technologies, products or trademarks of others, it is possible that the Company’s existing patents, trademarks or other rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or future patents, trademarks or proprietary rights may occur. In the event that the Company’s products are deemed to infringe upon the patent or proprietary rights of others, the Company could be required to modify the design of its products, change the name of its products or obtain a license for the use of certain technologies incorporated into its products. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to do any of the foregoing in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent, registered trademark or other proprietary right, and, if the Company’s products are deemed to infringe upon the patents, trademarks or other proprietary rights of others, the Company could become liable for damages, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company may be subject to substantial liability for the products it produces.

The Company is engaged in a business that could expose it to possible liability claims for personal injury or property damage due to alleged design or manufacturing defects in its products. The Company believes that it meets existing professional specification standards recognized or required in the industries in which it operates, and there are no material product liability claims pending against the Company as of the date hereof. Although the Company currently maintains product liability coverage which it believes is adequate for the continued operation of its business, such insurance may prove inadequate or become difficult to obtain or unobtainable in the future on terms acceptable to the Company.

The Company is subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations, and the costs related to compliance with, or the Company’s failure to comply with, existing or future laws and regulations, could adversely affect the business and results of operations.

The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, significant administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. The Company’s business involves environmental management and issues typically associated with historical manufacturing operations. To date, the Company’s cost of complying with environmental laws and regulations has not been material, but the fact that such laws or regulations are changed frequently makes predicting the cost or impact of such laws and regulations on the Company’s future operations uncertain.

The loss of one or more of the Company’s raw materials suppliers, or increase in prices, could cause production delays, a reduction of revenues or an increase in costs.

The principal raw materials the Company uses are steel and related products. The Company has no long-term supply agreements with any of its major suppliers. However, the Company has generally been able to obtain sufficient supplies of raw materials for its operations. Although the Company believes that such raw materials are readily available from alternate sources, an interruption in the supply of steel and related products or a substantial increase in the price of any of these raw materials could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is subject to significant government regulations.

The Company is subject to a variety of governmental regulations relating to the manufacturing of its products. Any failure by the Company to comply with present or future regulations could subject it to future liabilities, or the suspension of production that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Such regulations could also restrict the Company’s ability to expand its facilities, or could require the Company to acquire costly equipment or to incur other expenses to comply with such regulations. Although the Company believes it has the design and manufacturing capability to meet all industry or governmental agency standards that may apply to its product lines, including all domestic and foreign environmental, structural, electrical and safety codes, there can be no assurance that governmental laws and regulations will not become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with a violation. The cost to the Company of such compliance to date has not materially affected its business, financial condition or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that violations will not occur in the future as a result of human error, equipment failure or other causes. The Company’s customers are also subject to extensive regulations, including those related to the workplace. The Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of governmental legislation, or regulatory requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered, or interpreted. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require substantial expenditures by the Company and could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s management has effective voting control.

The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 94.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s $.10 par value Class B stock. The Class B stock is entitled to elect 75% (calculated to the nearest whole number, rounding five-tenths to next highest whole number) of the members of its Board of Directors. Further, approval of a majority of the Class B stock is generally required to effect a sale of the Company and certain other corporate transactions. As a result, these stockholders can elect more than a majority of the Board of Directors and exercise significant influence over most matters requiring approval by the Company’s stockholders. This concentration of control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

The issuance of preferred stock may impede a change of control or may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors, without stockholder vote, to issue up to 300,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to determine for any series the dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other preferences, rights and terms that are senior, and not available, to the holders of the Company’s common stock. Thus, issuances of series of preferred stock could adversely affect the relative voting power, distributions and other rights of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could deter or impede a merger, tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority of the Company’s common stockholders might believe to be in their best interest or in which the Company’s common stockholders might receive a premium for their shares over the then current market price of such shares.

The Company may be required to indemnify its directors and executive officers.

The Company has authority under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent provided in that statute. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company’s Bylaws provide in part that it indemnify each of its directors and officers against liabilities imposed upon them (including reasonable amounts paid in settlement) and expenses incurred by them in connection with any claim made against them or any action, suit or proceeding to which they may be a party by reason of their being or having been a director or officer. The Company maintains officer’s and director’s liability insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that such insurance will be available in the future, or that if available, it will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the insurance coverage provided will be sufficient to cover the amount of any judgment awarded against an officer or director (either individually or in the aggregate). Consequently, if such judgment exceeds the coverage under the policy, the Company may be forced to pay such difference.

The Company enters into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors containing provisions that may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as officers or directors (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature) and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Management believes that such indemnification provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

The Company does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, the Company intends to retain any earnings to finance its business requirements, and it does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock or Class B stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including the financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.

Competition could reduce revenue from the Company’s products and services and cause it to lose market share.

The Company currently faces strong competition in product performance, price and service. Some of the Company’s national competitors have greater financial, product development and marketing resources than the Company. If competition in the Company’s industry intensifies or if the current competitors enhance their products or lower their prices for competing products, the Company may lose sales or be required to lower the prices it charges for its products. This may reduce revenues from the Company’s products and services, lower its gross margins or cause it to lose market share.

The Company’s quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate, which may decrease its stock price.

The Company’s quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results have varied significantly in the past and are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future. As a result, the Company’s operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors in some quarters, which could result in a decrease in the market price of its common stock. The reasons the Company’s quarterly results may fluctuate include:

•

General competitive and economic conditions

•

Delays in, or uneven timing in, delivery of customer orders

•

The seasonal nature of the industry

•

The introduction of new products by the Company or its competitors

•

Product supply shortages, and

•

Reduced demand due to adverse weather conditions.

Period-to-period comparisons of such items should not be relied on as indications of future performance.

The Company’s stock has been, and likely will continue to be, subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control.

In recent years, the stock market in general and the market for the Company’s common stock has experienced extreme price fluctuations. The market price of the Company’s common stock may be significantly affected by various factors such as:

•

Quarterly variations in operating results

•

Changes in revenue growth rates as a whole or for specific geographic areas or products

•

Changes in earning estimates by market analysts

•

The announcement of new products or product enhancements by the Company or its competitors

•

Speculation in the press or analyst community, and

•

General market conditions or market conditions specific to particular industries.

The market price of the Company’s common stock may experience significant fluctuations in the future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

“Forward-Looking” Information

This Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which represent the Company’s expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of the Company’s products and future financing plans, 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 “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in this Report. 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 statement, except as required by law.

Overview

Gencor Industries, Inc., (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, which included approximately $27.5 billion for highway and bridge construction activities. The Company believes that its customers are waiting on the states to move forward with the projects as their purchasing decisions are significantly influenced by the federal government’s legislation on federal road building funding. Any new funding will have a positive impact on the Company’s financial performance although the magnitude of that improvement cannot be determined. The reduction in sales of the Company’s larger equipment has resulted in part in an increase in sales of components, aftermarket parts, and ancillary services in fiscal 2009 as many customers are choosing to maintain versus replace or upgrade their equipment.

In January 2009, the Canadian government announced its economic action plan to stimulate economic growth which included a $12 billion two year investment in new infrastructure including roads, bridges and other infrastructure. The Company believes that certain programs associated with this funding will have a positive impact on its financial performance although the magnitude of that impact cannot be determined.

Economic downturns like the one currently being experienced generally result in reduced purchasing within the Company’s served markets and thus have a direct impact on sales and tend to increase the pricing pressures on the Company’s products resulting in lower pricing and margins. The Company’s typical sales of asphalt plants are in the $2 to $4 million range and may require the Company’s customers obtain some sort of financing. The current state of the financial industry, the tightening of the credit markets and the higher interest rates, have had an adverse impact on the Company’s customers’ attitudes toward purchasing new equipment. On the positive side, the reduced value of the US dollar has resulted in more interest from international customers.

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 manufacturing asphalt and could therefore decrease demand for asphalt and certain of the Company’s products. The Company does not currently foresee the fluctuations in oil prices having a significant impact on its financial performance.

Steel is a major component used in manufacturing the Company’s equipment. Steel prices were at historically high levels during 2008 and the Company increased sales prices during 2008 to offset the rising steel costs. During the fourth quarter of 2008, steel prices retreated sharply from their 2008 highs and continued the downward trend through the first half of 2009. Moderate increases have occurred during the past several months and are expected to continue for the remainder of 2009. In the current economy and competitive environment, the Company does not expect to be able to raise prices to cover the increasing costs of steel and its financial results could be negatively affected.

For the long term, the Company believes the strategy of continuing to invest heavily 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 capital equipment rebounds. 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 and staffing, reduced purchases of raw materials and reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company continues to review its internal processes to identify efficiencies 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

Year ended September 30, 2009 compared with the year ended September 30, 2008

Net revenues for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $56.8 million and $88.3 million, respectively, a $31.5 million decrease (36%) over the previous year. Domestic revenues during this period for 2009 and 2008 were $55.7 million and $85.6 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the recessionary economy and tightening of credit availability which resulted in lower unit sales and decreased unit selling prices. The Company’s 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. The Company cannot predict what impact the current recession will have on future earnings.

Gross margin for fiscal 2009 was $9.2 million versus $21.2 million in 2008 and as a percent of net revenues was 16.3% in 2009 and 23.9% for 2008. Overall, the decreases in gross profit margin were due primarily to decreases in revenues with less than a proportionate decrease in existing cost structures. Margins were positively impacted by $1.1 million reduction in LIFO reserves in 2009 but negatively affected by $.6 million increase in LIFO reserves in 2008.

Product engineering and development costs were down slightly. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $.8 million to $10.7 million during 2009 due primarily to the decreases in personnel, deferral or cancellation of discretionary expenses, and also decreases in commissions associated with decreases in revenue versus comparable periods.

2009 had an operating loss of $4.8 million versus operating income of $6.8 million in 2008. Operating income decreased as a result of reduced revenues and related reduction in overhead absorption. The 2009 operating loss also includes a $0.6 million loss related to the sale of the UK operations.

Included in other income for the year ended September 30, 2008 was the receipt of $4.1 million in resolution of an outstanding claim against a former service provider less related legal costs of $.7 million.

During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company transferred a net $4.0 million from its operating cash accounts to its investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the cost basis of the investment portfolio was $56.6 million and $54.7 million, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2009, net investment interest and dividend income (“Investment Income”) was $2.2 million versus Investment Income of $1.8 million in 2008. The net realized and unrealized losses on marketable securities were $2.5 million in 2009 and $3.5 million in 2008. Total cash and investment balance at September 30, 2009 was $61.2 million compared to the September 30, 2008 cash and investment balance of $58 million.

The Company recognized income from Investees of $48,000 for the year ended September 30, 2009 and $15.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2008. See Part 1, Item 1 of this Report.

The effective income tax rate for 2009 was a benefit of 50.1% compared to an income tax rate of 37% for 2008. The change in the effective tax rate between years is mainly due to operating losses incurred during 2009 versus profit in 2008, and the effect of tax exempt interest income (see Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Year ended September 30, 2008 compared with the year ended September 30, 2007

Net revenues for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $88.3 million and $75.3 million, respectively, this represents a $13 million increase (17%) over the previous year. Domestic revenues during this period for 2008 and 2007 were $85.6 million and $72.4 million, respectively. Domestic revenues were higher than the prior year due to the general improvement in the road-building industry resulting in higher unit volumes. Infrastructure spending remained strong through fiscal 2008. Foreign revenues decreased by $.1 million. The backlog was $16 million at September 30, 2008 compared to a backlog of $24.5 million at September 30, 2007.

Gross margin for fiscal 2008 was $1.3 million higher than fiscal 2007 and as a percent of net revenues was 23.9% in 2008 and 26.4% of revenues for 2007. The margin for the year was adversely impacted by higher raw material costs, primarily significant increase in steel prices and high energy costs. Domestic margins were negatively affected by $.6 million and $.7 million, respectively for 2008 and 2007 due to an increase in the LIFO reserve.

Product engineering and development costs increased $.2 million due to hiring of additional engineers. Selling and administrative expenses increased $.5 million during 2008 due to higher commissions and payroll costs resulting from the higher sales volume, partially offset by lower legal costs.

Operating income was $6.8 million in 2008 compared to $4.7 million in 2007. Operating income increased as a result of increased domestic business. 2007 included a loss on sale of assets of $1.6 million.

Miscellaneous Income in 2008 includes $3.4 million from a favorable legal settlement from a former service provider.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, Investment Income was $1.8 million versus Investment Income of $0.7 million in 2007. The net realized and unrealized losses on marketable securities were $3.5 million in 2008 versus a gain of $5.3 million in 2007. Total cash and investment balance at September 30, 2008 was $58 million compared to September 30, 2007 cash and investment balance of $55 million.

The Company recognized income from Investees of $ $15.6 million in 2008 and $19.9 million in 2007 (see Part 1, Item 1 of this Report).

The effective income tax rate for 2008 was 37% compared to 39.5% for 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate between years is mainly due to losses in 2007 from foreign operations for which no tax benefit was recognized (see Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generates capital resources primarily through operations. For the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company received $15.6 million and $19.9 million, respectively, in cash distributions from Investees. During fiscal 2009, the Company received cash distributions from Investees of $48,000. The Company does not expect to receive any significant distributions from Investees in subsequent periods.

The Company has maintained a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. The Credit Agreement originally established a three year revolving $20 million credit facility (“Credit Facility”) and was renewed through July 31, 2009. The Credit Facility provided for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory, and real estate. The facility included a $2 million limit on letters of credit. The interest rate at September 30, 2009, is at LIBOR plus 2.00% and subject to change based upon the fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1. There were no required repayments as long as there were no defaults and there was adequate eligible collateral. Substantially all of the Company’s assets were pledged as security under the Credit Agreement.

The Company amended the Credit Agreement on July 23, 2009 (the “Third Amendment”). The Credit Agreement was set to expire on July 31, 2009, and rather than let it expire, the Company elected to amend the agreement and reduce the amount of the Credit Facility from $20 million to $1.5 million. The Credit Facility also includes a $1.285 million limit on letters of credit, which is reduced from the original $2 million limit. The Company elected to reduce its Credit Facility because it believed the higher amount associated with the original line was not needed. The Company is currently evaluating other options for a new revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company’s Credit Facility shall continue until April 30, 2010, unless terminated sooner. Under the Third Amendment, substantially all representations, warranties, covenants, rights, duties and obligations set forth in the original agreement continue to apply.

The Company had no long term debt outstanding at September 30, 2009 or 2008. At September 30, 2009, the Company had $0.9 million of letters of credit outstanding.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $3.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $57.5 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.

The Company’s backlog was at $4.2 million at September 30, 2009 versus $16.0 million at September 30, 2008. Orders have reduced significantly as a result of the recession and credit tightening during the Company’s fiscal 2009.

In terms of working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities), the Company’s balance of $90.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, was $2.3 million lower than its working capital balance of $92.4 million at September 30, 2008. The reductions in accounts receivable ($1.8 million), estimated revenues in excess of customer deposits ($4.4 million), inventory ($3.8 million), accounts payable ($2.1 million) and customer deposits ($0.9 million) were all driven by the lower operating results from the recessionary economy.

Cash provided by operations during the year ended September 30, 2009 was $0.6 million. Cash used for investing activities during the year ended September 30, 2009 was $0.6 million. The Company historically operated a manufacturing facility and sales office in the United Kingdom. The revenues of the UK operations have been insignificant to the Company’s financial results. In June 2009, the Company sold its UK operations for $0.6 million (not including transaction costs of $22,000) and recognized a loss of $0.6 million. The Company retained ownership of the land and building, the brand name (“General Combustion”), and the associated intellectual property (e.g., engineering drawings).

In terms of financing activities, there were no cash disbursements or receipts during the year ended September 30, 2009.

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 Company’s 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, “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 and unpredictable. 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

Revenues from contracts for the design and manufacture of certain custom equipment are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. 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. Revenues from all other sales are recorded as the products are shipped or service is performed.

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.

Investment in Unconsolidated Investees

As of September 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the Company owns 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. The Company has no basis in these equity investments or requirement to provide future funding. Any income arising from these investments is dependent upon tax credits (adjusted for operating losses at the fuel plants) being generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which will be recorded as received (see Part 1, Item 1 of this Report).

Inflation

The overall effects of inflation on the Company’s business during the periods discussed have not been significant. The Company monitors the prices it charges for its products and services on an ongoing basis and believes that it will be able to adjust those prices to take into account future changes in the rate of inflation.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the outstanding borrowings and long-term contractual obligations at September 30, 2009:


	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years
Long-term debt	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Operating leases		126,000		59,000		67,000		—		—

Total	$	126,000	$	59,000	$	67,000	$	—	$	—

The long-term debt facility matures in April 2010. The Company also has $.9 million of letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit are typically for one year and are renewed annually.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices principally located in the United States and, until June 2009, 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. 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 their impact on earnings and cash flow and reduce its overall borrowing costs.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company had no debt outstanding. Under the Credit 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 municipal bonds through a professional investment advisor. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit. 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.

MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT REPORT

The management of Gencor Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of all internal control systems no matter how well designed. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and presentation of financial statements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of a change in circumstances or conditions.

In order to ensure that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently as of September 30, 2009. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. Moore Stephen Lovelace, P. A., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Gencor Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gencor Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2009. We also have audited Gencor’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Gencor’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying financial report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gencor Industries, Inc. as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Gencor Industries, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

GENCOR INDUSTRIES, INC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Gencor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels and environmental control machinery and equipment.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Gencor Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

Other than as described below, no new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, guidance codifying generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). While the guidance was not intended to change GAAP, it did change the way the Company references authoritative literature. The Company has adopted this authoritative guidance during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted SFAS 165 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require additional disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies. The Company adopted FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Investments (“FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities. Under FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2, the pre-existing “intent and ability” trigger was modified such that an other-than-temporary impairment is now triggered when there is intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery in value, or the security is not expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security (“credit related loss”). Credit related losses on debt securities will be considered an other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings, and any other losses due to a decline in fair value relative to the amortized cost deemed not to be other-than-temporary will be recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The financial statements include basic and diluted per share information. Basic earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are based on the sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus common share equivalents.

The following presents the calculation of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share from for the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands except per share data):


	2009							2008					2007
	Net (Loss)			Shares	Per Share Amount			Net Income		Shares	Per Share Amount		Net Income		Shares	Per Share Amount

Basic EPS	$	(2,551	)	9,613	$	(0.27	)	$	15,247	9,611	$	1.59	$	18,495	9,708	$	1.91

Diluted EPS	$	(2,551	)	9,613	$	(0.27	)	$	15,247	9,618	$	1.59	$	18,495	9,710	$	1.91

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents, may consist of short-term certificates of deposit and deposits in money market accounts with original maturities of three months or less.

Marketable Securities

Marketable debt and equity 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 statement 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 September 30, 2009, marketable securities consisted of $49.4 million in municipal bonds, $7.1 million in equity stocks and $1.0 million in cash equivalents. At September 30, 2008 marketable securities consisted of $44.8 million in municipal bonds and $9.2 million in equity stocks.

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 and equity securities 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 September 30, 2009:


	Fair Value Measurements (in thousand’s)
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Equities	$	7,148	$	—	$	—	$	7,148
Municipal Bonds		49,432		—		—		49,432
Cash Equivalents		950		—		—		950

	$	57,530	$	—	$	—	$	57,530

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.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable rate of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal year. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period and equity accounts are translated at the rate in effect when the transactions giving rise to the balances took place. Gains and losses resulting from translation are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income.

Risk Management

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various domestic financial institutions. Domestic funds are swept daily into interest-bearing overnight repurchase agreements invested in U.S. government securities. The marketable securities are invested in stocks and municipal bonds through a professional investment advisor. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit. The Company’s customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region, but are concentrated in the road and highway construction industry. The Company extends limited credit to its customers based upon their creditworthiness and generally requires a significant up-front deposit before beginning construction and full payment subject to hold-back provisions, prior to shipment on asphalt plant orders. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other pertinent information.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of determining cost for substantially all inventories. All other inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Used equipment, acquired by the Company by trade-in from customers acquiring new equipment, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:


		Years
Land improvements		5
Buildings and improvements		6-40
Equipment		2-10

Impairments

If the carrying value of an asset, including associated intangibles and goodwill, exceeds the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value.

Investment in Unconsolidated Investees

The Company owns 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 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 $48,000, $15.6 million and $19.9 million during the fiscal years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. 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 informed the Company that there were no operations in calendar 2009 or 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.

Revenues

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.

The estimated costs of product warranties are charged to production costs as revenue is recognized.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in production costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other

Other income in 2008 includes a $3.4 million, net of legal expenses, favorable legal settlement from a former service provider.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns using current tax rates. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The foreign subsidiaries provide income taxes based on the tax regulations of the countries in which they operate. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. No deferred taxes have been provided on these earnings.

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. An assessment is made as to whether or not a valuation allowance is required to offset deferred tax assets.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

On September 28, 2006, the Company granted 30,000 options at market price to certain officers and directors of the Company. The fair value is estimated on grant date using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. Volatility was based on historical activity and the term was estimated based on the life of the option and the vesting period. As a result, $270,000 of unearned compensation was recorded at September 30, 2006 and was charged to operating expense over the vesting period of two years.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and includes all other changes in shareholders’ equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to them. For all years presented, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss), which encompasses net income and foreign currency translation adjustments, is separately displayed in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

Reporting Segments

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Consolidated Financial Statements. To maintain comparability among the periods presented, the Company has revised the presentation of certain prior period amounts reported within the Consolidated Financial Statements. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income (loss).

Subsequent Events

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through December 28, 2009, the date of financial statement issuance.

	-50.1	%	37.0	%	39.5	%

Deferred tax assets at September 30, 2009 and 2008, consist of allowances and reserves that will result in future tax deductions. The Company’s deferred tax liabilities arise primarily from unrealized gains on marketable securities and revenues recognized under percentage of completion accounting for financial reporting purposes that will result in taxable income in future periods,

Accumulated deficits of non-U.S. subsidiaries included in consolidated retained earnings (deficit) amounted to ($479,000) and ($382,000) as of September 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The Company follows the policy of

indefinitely reinvesting foreign earnings, if any, to expand its international operations. Accordingly, the Company will not provide U.S. income taxes on any future earnings. The Company’s foreign operations in the United Kingdom were sold during 2009.

Total income taxes paid were $7,000, $15,452,000 and $5,436,000 in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 7 – RETIREMENT BENEFITS

401(k) Plan

The Company has a voluntary 401(k) employee benefit plan which covers all eligible domestic employees. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions subject to a maximum level, in accordance with the terms of the plan. The Company charged approximately $136,000, $151,000 and $114,000 to expense under the provisions of the plan during the fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

On August 1, 2003, the Company entered into a revolving credit and security agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. The Credit Agreement established a three year revolving $20 million credit facility (Credit Facility”) and was renewed through July 31, 2009. The Credit Agreement provided for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory and real property. The Credit Agreement also provided for up to $2 million of letters of credit capacity.

The Company amended the Credit Agreement on July 23, 2009 (the “Third Amendment”) by extending its maturity thru April 30, 2010 and reducing the amount available under the Credit Facility from $20 million to $1.5 million. The amended Credit Agreement also reduced the amount available for letters of credit from $2 million to $1.285 million. The Third Amendment provides for substantially the same representations, warranties, covenants, right, duties and obligations as set forth in the original Credit Agreement.

The Company is required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.1:1. There are no required repayments as long as there are no defaults under the Credit Agreement and there is adequate eligible collateral. The interest rate at September 30, 2009, was LIBOR plus 2% and is subject to change based upon the fixed charge coverage ratio. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as security under the Credit Agreement.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were $.9 million and $.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Future minimum rental commitments under these leases at September 30, 2009 consist of $126,000 due over the next five years.

Total rental expense for the fiscal years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $244,000, $175,000 and $193,000 respectively.

Litigation

The Company has various pending litigation and other claims. Those claims which are made in the ordinary course of business may be covered in whole or in part by insurance, and if found against the Company, management does not believe these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 10 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Under the Company’s amended certificate of incorporation, certain rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock are modified by shares of Class B stock for as long as such shares shall remain outstanding. During that period, holders of common stock will have the right to elect approximately 25% of the Company’s Board of Directors, and conversely, Class B stock will be entitled to elect approximately 75% of the Company’s Board of Directors. During the period when common stock and Class B stock are outstanding, certain matters submitted to a vote of shareholders will also require approval of the holders of common stock and Class B stock, each voting separately as a class. Common stock and Class B shareholders have equal rights with respect to dividends, preferences, and rights, including rights in liquidation.

NOTE 11 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains stock based compensation plans, which provide for the issuance of Company stock to certain directors, officers, key employees and affiliates.

On March 17, 2009 the stockholders of the Company approved the 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides that the total number of shares of Company stock that may be subject to the granting of awards under the 2009 Plan (“Awards”) at any time during the term of the 2009 Plan shall be equal to 800,000 shares of common stock and 160,000 shares of Class B stock. The foregoing limit shall be increased as provided for in the 2009 Plan. Persons eligible to receive Awards under the 2009 Plan include employees, directors, consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company. The 2009 Plan imposes individual limitations on the amount of certain Awards in part to comply with IRS Code Section 162(m). The Awards can be in the form of stock options, restricted and deferred stock, performance awards and other stock base awards as provided for in the 2009 Plan. There have been no Awards made under the 2009 Plan.

The 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) provided for the issuance of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s Class B stock and up to fifteen percent (15%) of the authorized common stock of any subsidiary. Under the terms of the 1997 Plan, option holders may tender previously owned shares with a market value equal to the exercise price of the options at exercise date, subject to compensation committee approval. Additionally, option holders may, upon compensation committee approval, surrender shares of stock to satisfy federal withholding tax requirements. Options become exercisable in a manner and on such dates and times as determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. Options expire not more than ten years from the date of grant. The option holders have no shareholder rights until the date of issuance of a stock certificate for such shares. Exercise of the options granted during 2002 and 2001 were limited to 20% per year over the next 5 years.

During 2006, 30,000 options were granted under the 1997 Plan to certain officers and directors of the Company at the market value of $9.32 at the date of grant. These options vested over two years and are exercisable through 2016. The fair value of these options is estimated on grant date using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. As a result, $270,000 of unearned compensation was recorded at September 30, 2006 and was charged to operating expense over the vesting period of two years. As of September 30, 2009, there were no options available for future grants under the 1997 Plan.

The following table summarizes option activity under the 1997 Plan:


	Number of Shares		Option Price Per Share
Outstanding at September 30, 2007	30,000		$	9.32
Exercised at price of $9.32 per share	(2,500	)		9.32

Outstanding at September 30, 2008	27,500		$	9.32
Exercised	—			—

Outstanding at September 30, 2009	27,500		$	9.32

The weighted average remaining contractual life on the options outstanding as of September 30, 2009 is 7 years.

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Marcar Leasing Corporation (“Marcar”) is engaged in leasing machinery and vehicles to the public and the Company. Marcar is owned by family members of the Company’s chairman. The terms of the leases are established based on the rates charged by independent leasing organizations and are believed to be more favorable than those generally available from independent third parties. Leases between the Company and Marcar generally provide for equal monthly payments over either thirty-six months or forty-eight months. During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company made lease payments to Marcar totaling $156,000, $150,000 and $124,000 respectively.

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 (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, 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.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of all internal control systems no matter how well designed. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and presentation of financial statements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of a change in circumstances or conditions.

control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. Moore Stephen Lovelace, P. A., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009.

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 ended September 30, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
