FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - GENCOR SETTLES WITH ITS BANKS

We are pleased to announce that Gencor and its lenders have resolved their
outstanding disputes, and have reached an accord which allows the Company to
focus on its growing markets and serve its customers.

This settlement brings to closure a protracted contentious period between
Gencor and its lenders, which was triggered by certain improprieties caused by
two managers in England. Although the malefactors were quickly dismissed and
appropriately dealt with under the law, the domino effect of their improper
actions had caused Gencor's lenders to aggressively demand full payment of
their loans.

Numerous efforts and proposals to resolve the protracted and contentious
situation were unsuccessful. Gencor believes that because the banks' internal
agreements with its syndicate members required unanimous consent to Gencor's
proposals, the banks were not able to agree among themselves. This became a
serious matter adversely affecting Gencor's operations, and required immediate
resolution. After some of the syndicate members petitioned to place the Company
into involuntary Chapter 11, it became obvious that the most expedient solution
to such gridlock was for Gencor to pre-agree to a consensual plan which Gencor
views as very favorable and then agree to enter voluntarily into Chapter 11,
thereby making possible the resolution of the entire matter.

Through this consensual agreement the parties have settled their disputes on
terms and in a manner favorable to Gencor, and which now puts Gencor in a
position to pay its banks in the shortest possible time and to refocus on its
business and growing markets. The lenders maintain a positive and supportive
attitude and have agreed to provide operational funding if needed for Gencor's
projected growing operations.

Management states that Gencor has been operating profitably and has been paying
its trade creditors and vendors on schedule, and intends to continue doing so.
This is not the typical case of an insolvent company running into Chapter 11
for protection. Gencor is enjoying very active markets across virtually all of
its product lines, and its profits and cash flows are healthy. The Company
therefore, has been meeting its trade obligations timely, and intends to
continue doing so.

Under this plan Gencor's management, employees and shareholders remain intact
while the Company will take steps to repay the lenders in the shortest time
possible. The Company had previously announced that it intends to divest itself
of certain operations outside its core business, and to concentrate on the
construction equipment industry which is enjoying a very robust market and
record revenues for fiscal 2000, which is ending on September 30, 2000.

Information contained in this Release, other than historical information, may
be considered forward-looking in nature. As such, it is based upon certain
assumptions and is subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may not be
controllable. Among the assumptions are those relating to the timing of
repayment to lenders, projected growth, the outcome of divestitures of certain
operations, the robust nature of the construction equipment industry market and
revenues for fiscal 2000. To the extent that any assumptions inherent herein
prove to be incorrect, Gencor could be adversely affected.
