Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Domestic Securities, Inc. (Domestic”), of which Harvey Houtkin is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and a 50% indirect shareholder, 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.

Domestic and its affiliate, Attain Services Corp.(“Attain”), of which Mr. Houtkin is an officer, director and 50% indirect shareholder, employed attorneys, CPAs and others to review the Issuer’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The work of those professionals resulted in the filing by Domestic, Attain and Josef Ross, a Gencor shareholder, of a shareholders’ derivative action on March 15, 2004, effective March 12, 2004, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against three of the directors of the Issuer, E.J. Elliott, John Elliott and Randolph Fields.  The lawsuit alleged, among other things, that certain of the Issuer’s SEC filings were false, misleading and contained material misstatements and sought relief for the benefit of the Issuer and all of its public shareholders to, among other things, (i) prohibit any further fraudulent filings by the Issuer with the SEC and (ii) appoint a special monitor of the court to investigate and oversee certain matters related to the Issuer and report back to the court.  Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and the court dismissed all causes of action other than plaintiffs’ request for an equitable accounting.  Plaintiffs then amended their complaint to add as defendants other current and former directors of the Issuer, the Issuer’s chief financial officer, the Issuer’s independent auditors, Moore Stephens Lovelace, PA and the Issuer’s outside counsel, Greenberg Traurig LLP.  The amended complaint alleges that defendants committed various violations of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.  Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on July 18, 2005.

On January 10, 2005, Domestic, as a market maker in the Issuer’s Common Stock, applied to have the Common Stock of the Issuer listed on the OTCBB; Gencor’s Common Stock began trading on the Bulletin Board on January 20, 2005.

On March 14, 2005, Mr. Houtkin and Adam I. Frenz, in-house counsel to Domestic and a shareholder of the Issuer, filed a motion for summary relief against the Issuer in Delaware Chancery Court.  The plaintiffs alleged that the Issuer had not held a meeting of shareholders since March 2003 and asked the court to require the Issuer to hold a shareholders’ meeting as soon as possible.  On July 19, 2005, the court ordered the Issuer to hold a shareholders’ meeting on September 12, 2005.

As a result of the foregoing, Mr. Houtkin’s position with respect to the Issuer may not be considered solely that of a passive investor.

Mr. Houtkin intends to continue to review his investment in the Issuer with the primary objective of maximizing the value of the Issuer’s Common Stock.  In this regard, based upon such review, Mr. Houtkin will consider various alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to his 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 nomination 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 an investor and as a market maker and, alternatively, may involve the sale of all or a portion of the shares owned by him in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with one or more financial or strategic purchasers.  There can be no assurance, however, that Mr. Houtkin 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 may purchase additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and, alternatively, may sell all or a portion of the shares held by them in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or more financial or strategic purchasers, but have no present plans to do so.  Domestic is a market maker in the Issuer’s Common 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 shareholders, who would also comprise the Issuer’s Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee.

(e)

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

Mr. Houtkin believes that the Issuer’s present management’s ability to control the composition of the Issuer’s board through their control of the 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, is an impediment to maximizing shareholder value, and is no longer acceptable under applicable, present, legal standards 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
