Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-months and six-months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2008.

The balance sheet at September 30, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Gencor Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007.

Note 5 – Comprehensive Income

The total comprehensive income for the three-months and six-months ended March 31, 2008 was $1,380 and $14,450, respectively. The total comprehensive income for the three-months and six-months ended March 31, 2007 was $10,502 and $11,982, respectively. Total comprehensive income differs from net income due to gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation, which are reflected separately in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company sold land and buildings for $5,481 resulting in a loss of $1,633 after an adjustment of $1,905 for the cumulative translation adjustment related to the assets sold.

Note 6 – Income From 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 will be recorded as received. The Company received no distributions in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company received $15,625 in distributions. The Company received distributions of $3,285 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and $11,887 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. These distributions are subject to state and Federal income taxes.

Table of Contents

The synthetic fuel tax credit legislation expired at the end of calendar year 2007. Consequently, the four synthetic fuel plants are being decommissioned. The plants are in process of being 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 has informed the Company that there will be no operations in calendar 2008 and the partnership affairs will be 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.

 

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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $24.6 million and $26.5 million, respectively. Domestic sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased $1.2 million from year ago levels. Domestic sales remained seasonally high although slightly lower than the prior year’s quarter. Foreign sales decreased $.7 million from the prior year.

Net sales for the six-months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $42.9 million and $38.9 million, respectively, an increase of 10%. Domestic sales during the first six-months of fiscal 2008 increased $4.6 million from year ago levels. Domestic sales were higher than the prior year’s due to the general strength in the road-building industry. Foreign sales decreased .6 million from the prior year.

Our revenues are concentrated in the asphalt-related business and subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year.

Gross margins as a percent of net sales decreased to 28% from 29% from the prior year three-month period. Gross margins as a percent of net sales was 26% for the six-months ended March 31, 2008, and 28% for the six-months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in margins is a result of increased manufacturing costs related to facilities improvement and maintenance.

Selling and administrative expense decreased $165 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $334 for the six-months ended March 31, 2008 due to higher selling costs offset by lower legal costs.

We own 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. We have 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. The Company received no distributions in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company received $15,625. The Company received distributions of $3,285 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and $11,887 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. These distributions are subject to state and Federal income taxes.

Table of Contents

The change in the value of marketable securities is a result of net realized and unrealized gains and losses during the period. Also the cost basis of marketable securities fluctuates as excess cash is invested or securities sold to fund operations and pay income taxes. As of March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007 the cost basis of marketable securities was $49 million and $42 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the six months ended March 31, 2008, the change in value of our marketable securities was a loss of $1,358 and $865, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the six months ended March 31, 2007, the change in value of our marketable securities was a gain of $471 and $2,610, respectively.

Included in other income for the six months ended March 31, 2008 was the receipt of $4,100 in resolution of an outstanding claim against a former service provider less related legal costs of $700. The terms of the settlement are confidential and we do not expect any further collections or expenses related to this matter. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we sold land and buildings for $5,481 resulting in a loss of $1,633 after an adjustment of $1,905 for the cumulative translation adjustment related to the assets sold.

Income tax expense varies based on the pre-tax income. Deferred taxes changed primarily due to the income from investees becoming taxable in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. The Agreement established a three year revolving $20 million credit facility and was renewed through July 31, 2009. The facility provides for advances based on accounts receivable, inventory and real estate. The facility includes a $2 million limit on letters of credit. At March 31, 2008, we had $.8 million of letters of credit outstanding. The interest rate at March 31, 2008, is at LIBOR plus 2.00% and subject to change based upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1:1. There are no required repayments as long as there are no defaults and there is adequate eligible collateral. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as security under the Agreement. We had no long term debt outstanding at March 31, 2008 or 2007.

As of March 31, 2008, we had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $57.9 million in marketable securities. The marketable securities are invested in stocks and 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 our results of operations. The securities may be liquidated at any time into cash and cash equivalents

Inventory and customer deposits increased due to the timing of the completion and delivery of major contracts. In addition accumulated costs on these contracts, net of progress payments, and estimated earnings are included in inventory. Accrued expenses decreased due to payments for legal and tradeshow costs. Income taxes payable increased due to the increase in taxable income and the movement from deferred taxes related to the timing of taxes due on income from investees.

Seasonality

The Company is concentrated in the asphalt-related business and is subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Traditionally, our 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 our fiscal year ended September 30.

Forward-Looking Information

This Report Form 10-Q 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 our expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of our products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of our customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for our products.

For information concerning these factors and related matters, see the following sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007: (a) “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and (b) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect our 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 us herein speak as of the date of this Report. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our 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 our consolidated financial statement included in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007, “Accounting Policies.”

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we use 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. We believe 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. We are 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. Revenues from all other sales are recorded as the products are shipped or service is performed.

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. 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, 2007, 2006, and 2005, we own 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. We have 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. The synthetic fuel tax credit legislation expired at the end of calendar year 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices principally located in the United States and 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. The Company’s principal currency exposure against the U.S. dollar is the British pound. 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 March 31, 2008, the Company had no debt outstanding. Under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, substantially all of the Company’s borrowings will bear interest at variable rates based upon the LIBOR.

The Company’s marketable securities are invested in stocks, municipal bonds, and money market funds 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.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Not applicable.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed is included in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Company, in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report.

The Company is a non-accelerated filer and is not required to comply with requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until its annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008.

Any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

Section 4. Notice. (a) Written notice of all meetings of stockholders stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) or more than fifty (50) days before the date of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the business which may be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall consist of and be limited to the purpose or purposes so stated in such notice.


(b) Advance Notice Provisions for Business to be Transacted at Annual Meeting. (i) No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (A) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (B) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (C) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the corporation who (1) is a stockholder of record on both (x) the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 4 and (y) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (2) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 4(b).

(i) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

(A) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided; however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than thirty (30) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be delivered not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

(B) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (2) the name and record address of such stockholder, (3) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder,


(4) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business and (5) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting. As used in these by-laws, “beneficially owned” means all shares which such person is deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(ii) No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 4 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

(c) Advance Notice Provisions for Election of Directors. (i) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination for election of a director to be made by a stockholder of the corporation at an annual meeting, such stockholder must (A) be a stockholder of record on both (1) the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 4 and (2) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (B) have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation. If a stockholder is entitled to vote only for a specific class or category of directors at a meeting of the stockholders, such stockholder’s right to nominate one or more persons for election as a director at the meeting shall be limited to such class or category of directors.


(ii) To be timely in connection with the annual meeting of the stockholders, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be delivered not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of such director(s) at such meeting and satisfying the requirements specified in Section 4(c)(i) may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as are specified in the corporation’s notice of such meeting, but only if the stockholder notice required by Section 4(c)(iii) hereof shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the first day on which the date of the special meeting and either the names of all nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting or the number of directors to be elected shall have been publicly announced.

(iii) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (1) the name, business address and residence address of the person, (2) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (3) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation, if any, which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (4) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange


Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (B) as to the stockholder giving notice (1) the name and record address of such stockholder, (2) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (3) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (4) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to nominate the person(s) named in its notice and (5) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

(iv) No person shall be eligible for nomination as a director by a stockholder at an annual meeting unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4(c). If the chairman of an annual meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

(v) This Section 4(c) shall not apply to any nomination of a director in an election in which only the holders of (1) Class B Stock, or (2) one or more series of Preferred Stock of the corporation designated pursuant to Article Four, Section B of the corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) are entitled to vote for such nominee (unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Class B Stock or series of Preferred Stock).


(d) Adjournment. In no event shall the adjournment of an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any announcement thereof, commence a new period for the giving of notice under this Section 4.

(e) Definition of Publicly Announced. For purposes of this Section 4, a matter shall be deemed to have been “publicly announced” if such matter is disclosed in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, the Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 5. Stockholders’ List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

Section 6. Quorum. At each meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At any


such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 7. Voting and Proxies. The holders of the outstanding Common Stock and the holders of any outstanding Class B Stock shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share standing in such holder’s name with respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent except that at such time as Class B Stock shall be outstanding, holders of Class B Stock, voting separately as a class, shall have the right to elect that number of directors so that seventy-five percent (75%) (calculated to the nearest whole number rounding a fractional number of five-tenths (.5) to the next highest whole number) of the total number of directors of the corporation fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 1 of Article III of these By-Laws, and the holders of Common Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect the other approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of such total number of directors. Provided further, that, while any shares of Class B Stock are outstanding, the approval by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Common Stock and the approval by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Class B Stock, each such class voting separately as a class, shall be required on (i) any merger or consolidation of the corporation with or into any other corporation; any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets to or with any other person except, where such merger or transaction is with a majority owned subsidiary of the corporation; or any dissolution of the corporation, (ii) any additional issuance of shares of Class B Stock other than in connection with share splitups and share dividends on shares of Class B Stock; or the exercise of stock options granted to directors, officers or employees of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation; or an exchange for shares of Common Stock upon the initial issuance of Class B Stock; and, (iii) any modification, alteration or amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation other than an


amendment filed under the provisions of subparagraph 2 of paragraph B of the Fourth Article of the Certificate of Incorporation, to fix, change, or designate the terms, other than conversion rights into shares of Class B Stock (for which conversion rights the approval by the majority of shareholders of each class voting separately as a class as provided in this Section 7 shall be required), of the Preferred Stock; and, (iv) on any other matters requiring a separate vote by classes provided for under the Delaware General Corporation Law. For purposes of this paragraph a “subsidiary” is any corporation more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by the corporation; and a “person” is any individual, partnership, corporation or entity. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 8. Written Consent of Stockholders. Any action required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Delaware General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

ARTICLE III

Board of Directors

Section 1. Number. The Board of Directors shall consist of at least three (3) directors, at least one (1) of whom shall be electable by the holders of the Common Stock voting separately as a class as provided in Section 7 of Article II of these By-Laws. The number of directors shall be such as from time to time may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors at a duly held regular or special meeting.


Section 2. Standing and Term. All directors, whether elected by the holders of the Common Stock or by the holders of the Class B Stock shall have equal standing, serve terms of one (1) year, and have equal voting powers.

Section 3. Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum.

Section 4. Removal. Directors separately elected or electable (in the case of vacancies or newly created directorships filled by the remaining directors) by the holders of the Common Stock or by the holders of the Class B Stock may be removed, with or without cause, only by the vote or consent of a majority of the votes then entitled to be cast by which such directors were elected or electable, voting or consenting separately as a class.

Section 5. Designation of Directorships. At the time Class B Stock shall first become outstanding, the Board of Directors shall designate seventy-five percent (75%) (calculated to the nearest whole number, rounding a fractional number of five-tenths (.5) to the nearest whole number) of the then authorized number of directorships as directorships to be elected by the separate class vote of the holders of the Class B Stock at the next meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected. The balance of the then authorized number of directorships shall be designated as directorships to be elected by the separate class vote of the holders of the Common Stock at the next meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected. Any director filling a designated directorship shall hold such office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, death or removal.


Section 6. Annual Meetings. After each annual election of directors and on the same day, the Board of Directors may meet for the purpose of organization, the election of officers and the transaction of other business at the place where the annual meeting of the stockholders is held. Notice of such meeting need not be given. Such meeting may be held at any other time or place which shall be specified in a notice given at least five (5) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held as hereinafter provided for in Article IV.

Section 7. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such places and at such times as the Board shall by resolution determine, or in the absence of such determination, at such stated time as may be determined by the President. If any day fixed for a regular meeting shall be a legal holiday at the place where the meeting is to be held, then the meeting which would otherwise be held on that day shall be held at such place at the same hour and on the next succeeding business day not a legal holiday.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification and Insurance

Section 1. Indemnification.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its


equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(b) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise is defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that


indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or, (3) by the stockholders.

(e) Expenses incurred by an officer or director defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

(f) The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was


serving at the request of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(h) For Purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

Section 2. Liability Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or designated agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or designated agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article or of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of: (i) a new certificate or certificates; or (ii) uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit or affirmation of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, certificates, or uncertificated shares the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same


in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in the form and in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 4. Transfer.
