Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

As previously disclosed in the Reporting Person’s Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person purchased the stock of the Issuer for investment purposes.  Domestic Securities, Inc., of which Mr. Houtkin is the Chief Executive Officer and an indirect controlling stockholder, is a market maker in the stock of the Issuer and purchased the stock for its market making activities as well as for investment purposes.  Attain Services Corp., of which Mr. Houtkin is the Chief Executive Officer and an indirect controlling stockholder, purchased the stock for investment purposes.  Also, as previously disclosed, the Reporting Person,  Domestic Securities, Inc. and Attain Services Corp. believe that the November 2003 tender offer by the Issuer was grossly inadequate and not in the best interests of the public stockholders of the Issuer.  By press release dated December 30, 2003, the Issuer withdrew the tender offer.

 

The Reporting Person, Domestic Securities, Inc. and Attain Services Corp. have reviewed the Issuer’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and believe that they contain misleading statements, that there are material omissions, and that such filings, and the financial

 

4



 

 

statements included therein, are fraudulent.  On March 15, 2004, Domestic Securities, Inc., Attain Services Corp. and Joseph A. Ross, a stockholder of the Issuer,  filed suit against the Issuer and three of its directors, E.J. Elliott, John Elliott and Randolph Fields, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking a temporary restraining order to, among other things, (i) prohibit any further fraudulent filings by the Issuer with the SEC and (ii) appoint a monitor to investigate and oversee the affairs of the Issuer and report back to the court.

 

On August 24, 2004, the Reporting Person was informed that Carbontronics holds in escrow for the benefit of the General Partner approximately $35,800,000.00.  Gencor is entitled to 45 percent of such amount, or approximately $16,110,000.00.

 

The Reporting Person also was informed on August 24, 2004, that an additional approximately $22,500,000.00 is held in escrow for another General Partner entity.  Gencor is also entitled to at least 25 percent of this amount, or approximately $5,625,000.00.  Gencor has instituted a lawsuit against the other principals of this second entity, claiming Gencor is entitled to 45 percent.  If Gencor is successful, Gencor’s share of the amount escrowed for the second entity would equal approximately $10,125,000.00.

 

Finally, the Reporting Person was informed that the results of the IRS audit of Carbontronics are expected before the end of 2004.

 

Mr. Houtkin, Domestic Securities, Inc. and Attain Services Corp. believe that the information in the foregoing three paragraphs is material to the Issuer’s financial condition and should have been disclosed in the Issuer’s filings with the SEC.

 

The Reporting Person intends to continue to review his investment in the Issuer with the primary objective of maximizing its value.  In this regard, based upon such review, the Reporting Person will consider various alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate.  Such actions may include, but are not limited to, engaging in discussions with the management and board of directors of the Issuer regarding the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer, making recommendations to the board of directors for the appointment of one or more independent directors, communicating with other stockholders, and seeking changes in the board of directors.

 

Such actions may also involve the purchase of additional shares of common stock both as market maker and as an investor and, alternatively, may involve the sale of all or a portion of the shares held by the Reporting Person

 

5



 

 

in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or more financial or strategic purchasers.  As a result of the foregoing, the Reporting Person’s position with respect to the Issuer may not be considered solely that of a passive investor.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Reporting Person will take any of the actions set forth above.

 

Describe any plans or proposals which the reporting persons may have which relate to or would result in:

 

(a)                                  The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer:

 

Mr. and/or Mrs. Houtkin and/or their sons Stuart, Brad and Michael Houtkin, and Attain Services Corp. may purchase additional shares of the Issuer’s stock, or may sell all or a portion of the shares of the Issuer’s stock owned by them, but have no present plans to do so.  Domestic Securities, Inc. is a market maker in the Issuer’s stock and trades the stock actively.

 

(b)                                 An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries:

 

None

 

(c)                                  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

 

None

 

(d)                                 Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board:

 

Mr. Houtkin believes that the Issuer’s Board should consist of a majority of truly independent directors, representative of the public shareholders, who would also comprise the Issuer’s Audit Committee, the Issuer’s Nominating Committee and the Issuer’s Compensation Committee.

 

(e)                                  Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer:

 

Mr. Houtkin believes that the present management’s ability to control the composition of the Issuer’s Board through their control of the

 

6



 

 

Class B shares, which have the right to elect 75% of the Issuer’s directors, is not in the best interest of the public shareholders and intends to take steps to attempt to effectuate a change in such power of the Class B shares.

 

(f)                                    Any other material change in the issuer’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940:

 

None

 

(g)                                 Changes in the issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person:

 

None

 

(h)                                 Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association:

 

None

 

(i)                                     A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act:

 

None

 

(j)                                     Any action similar to any of those enumerated above:

 

None.

Item 5.

(d)                                 If any other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities, a statement to that effect should be included in response to this item and, if such interest related to more than five percent of the class, such person should be identified.  A listing of the shareholders of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, pension fund or endowment fund is not required.

 

 

Shares owned by Domestic Securities, Inc. and Attain Services Corp., and the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the common stock of the issuer, are shared equally by the co-directors of each of such corporations, Mark Shefts and Harvey Houtkin.

 

 

(e)                                  Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Describe any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the issuer, including, but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, naming the persons with whom such contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships have been entered into.  Include such information for any of the securities that are pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities except that disclosure of standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements need not be included.

 

None; however Domestic Securities, Inc. and Attain Services Corp. are co-plaintiffs in the suit filed against the Issuer and three of its directors, E.J. Elliott, John Elliott and Randolph Fields, as described in Item 4 above.
