PLAN

NEW YORK, New York — MARCH 3, 2008 — Gencor Industries, Inc. is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the largest independent proxy advisory firm issued an analysis for the election contest of Gencor Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: GENC) and recommended that shareholders vote for Russell R. Lee, III on managements’ WHITE proxy card.

Within the analysis, ISS concluded, “Given the positive shareholder returns over the past three years, the company’s significant outperformance of the DJ Heavy Construction index in the 5-year period prior to the dissident activity, and strong earnings growth, we believe that the incumbent board has done a good job in enhancing shareholder value.” They also went on to say that the dissident made no case to “enhance shareholder value or board dynamics.” Additionally, ISS also recommended a FOR vote for the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan.

“We are pleased that ISS has recommended shareholders vote FOR Russell R. Lee, III as well as for the 2008 Incentive Plan. I urge all shareholders to follow ISS’ INDEPENDENT recommendation to vote the white proxy card FOR Russell R. Lee, III,” said E.J. Elliott, Chief Executive Officer & Chairman.
