ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

         Gencor Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gencor" or
"Registrant"), earlier indicated in a press release dated January 28, 1999 that
an internal investigation into the affairs of its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Gencor ACP Ltd. in the U.K. revealed accounting irregularities and other
improprieties that necessitate Gencor restate and re-audit its financial results
for fiscal year 1998.

         Gencor and Deloitte & Touche LLP have been diligently working on
revising Gencor's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year-ended
September 30, 1998. Gencor anticipates having its revised financial statements
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1998 available and furnished to the
public shortly. As such, the consolidated financial statements of Gencor as of
and for the year-ended September 30, 1998 obviously should no longer be relied
upon.

         Gencor received a letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP on February 1, 1999
to the effect that their report dated November 3, 1998 should no longer be
relied upon or associated with Gencor's consolidated financial statements as of
and for the year ended September 30, 1998. A copy of the said letter is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
