Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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 notes 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 in the interim financial information. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2015.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Gencor Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014.

Note 2 - Marketable Securities

Marketable debt and equity securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing or latest bid prices for Level 1 investments and market standard valuation methodologies for Level 2 investments. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification and are recognized as incurred in the statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statements of operations in the current period and represent the change in the fair value of investment holdings during the period.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instruments is presented based upon a hierarchy of levels that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of marketable equity securities, exchange traded funds, mutual funds and government securities are substantially based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Corporate and municipal bonds are valued using market standard valuation methodologies, including: discounted cash flow methodologies, matrix pricing or other similar techniques. The inputs to these market standard valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to: interest rates, credit standing of the issuer or counterparty, industry sector of the issuer, coupon rate, call provisions, maturity, estimated duration and assumptions regarding liquidity and estimated future cash flows. In addition to bond characteristics, the valuation methodologies incorporate market data, such as actual trades completed, bids and actual dealer quotes, where such information is available. Accordingly, the estimated fair values are based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments (Level 2). Fair values of the Level 2 investments are provided by the Company’s professional investment management firm.

6

The following table sets forth, by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2015:

	Fair Value Measurements
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Equities	$	19,087,000	$	—	$	—	$	19,087,000

Total	$	87,400,000	$	—	$	—	$	87,400,000

Net unrealized losses included in the consolidated statement of operations for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2015, on trading securities still held as of March 31, 2015, were $(159,000) and $(820,000), respectively. There were no transfers of investments between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended March 31, 2015.

The following table sets forth, by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2014:

Total	$	87,112,000	$	—	$	—	$	87,112,000

Net unrealized gains included in the consolidated statement of operations for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2014, on trading securities still held as of March 31, 2014, were $210,000 and $704,000, respectively. There were no transfers of investments between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Note 3 - Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined principally by using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and market defined as replacement cost for raw materials and net realizable value for work in process and finished goods. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, possible alternative uses and other factors in determining net realizable value. The cost of work in process and finished goods includes materials, direct labor, variable costs and overhead. The Company evaluates the need to record inventory allowances on all inventories, including raw material, work in process, finished goods, spare parts and used equipment. Used equipment acquired by the Company on trade-in from customers is included in inventory and carried at estimated net realizable value. Unless specific circumstances warrant different treatment regarding inventory obsolescence, the cost basis of inventories three to four years old is reduced by 50%, while the cost basis of inventories four to five years old is reduced by 75%, and the cost basis of inventories greater than five years old is reduced to zero. Inventory is typically reviewed for obsolescence on an annual basis computed as of September 30, the Company’s fiscal year end. If significant known changes in trends, technology or other specific circumstances that warrant consideration occur during the year, then the impact on obsolescence is considered at that time. No such provisions were made during the quarter or six months ended March 31, 2015.

Net inventories at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 consist of the following:

	March 31, 2015		September 30, 2014

Note 4 - Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 consist of the following:

	March 31, 2015		September 30, 2014
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	5,509,000	$	846,000

Billings to date		5,190,000		781,000
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings	$	2,344,000	$	344,000

Note 5 - Earnings per Share Data

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include basic and diluted earnings per share information. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Quarter Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Net Income	$	1,184,000	$	1,901,000	$	89,000	$	2,347,000
Common Shares:
Weighted average common shares outstanding		9,519,000		9,518,000		9,519,000		9,518,000
Effect of dilutive stock options		65,000		73,000		69,000		58,000
Diluted shares outstanding		9,584,000		9,591,000		9,588,000		9,576,000
Basic:
Net earnings per share	$	0.12	$	0.20	$	0.01	$	0.25
Diluted:
Net earnings per share	$	0.12	$	0.20	$	0.01	$	0.25

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the sum of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents. The weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2015 were 344,000, which equates to 65,000 and 69,000 dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively. Weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2014 were 339,000 and 330,000, respectively, which equates to 73,000 and 58,000 dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively. Weighted-average shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, which were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive, were 16,000 and 7,000, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2014. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2015.

Note 6 - Customers with 10% (or greater) of Net Revenues

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, 9.6% of net revenues were from entities owned by one global company versus 24.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, 9.8% of net revenues were from entities owned by one global company versus 22.3% for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

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

Overview

Gencor Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery used in the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels, and environmental control equipment. The Company’s core products include asphalt plants, combustion systems and fluid heat transfer systems. The Company’s products are manufactured in two facilities in the United States.

Because the Company’s products are sold primarily to the highway construction industry, the business is seasonal in nature. Traditionally, the Company’s 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. The majority of orders for the Company’s products are thus received between October and February, with a significant volume of shipments occurring prior to June. The principal factors driving demand for the Company’s products are the overall economic conditions, the level of government funding for domestic highway construction and repair, infrastructure development in emerging economies, the need for spare parts, fluctuations in the price of crude oil (liquid asphalt, as well as fuel costs), and a trend towards larger plants, resulting from industry consolidation.

On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed a $118 billion transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”). MAP-21 included a final three-month extension of the previous SAFETEA-LU bill at then current spending levels combined with a new two-year, $105 billion authorization of the federal highway, transit, and safety programs effective October 1, 2012. The bill provided states with two years of funding to build roads, bridges, and transit systems and expires on May 31, 2015.

The Canadian government enacted major infrastructure stimulus programs, which benefitted the Company in prior years. In 2007, the Building Canada Plan provided $33 billion in infrastructure funding through 2014. As part of the Building Canada Plan, the Gas Tax Fund was approved in 2009, providing $2 billion in annual infrastructure spending.

The lack of a multi-year federal highway bill, and a funding shortfall in the highway trust fund that is anticipated in the second half of the year, have resulted in reduced capital equipment purchases within the Company’s served markets. This had an adverse impact on sales and pricing pressures on the Company’s products, resulting in lower revenues and margins.

In addition to government funding and the overall economic conditions, fluctuations in the price of oil, which is a major component of asphalt mix, may affect the Company’s financial performance. An increase in the price of oil increases the cost of liquid asphalt and could, therefore, decrease demand for hot mix asphalt paving materials and certain of the Company’s products. Increases in oil prices also drive up the cost of gasoline, which results in increased freight costs. Where possible, the Company will pass increased freight costs on to its customers. However, the Company may not be able to recapture all of the increased costs and thus could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance.

Steel is a major component used in manufacturing the Company’s equipment. Fluctuations in the price of steel can have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. Where possible, the Company will pass on increased steel costs to its customers. However, the Company may not be able to recapture all of the increased steel costs and thus its financial results could be negatively affected.

For the long term, the Company believes the strategy of continuing to invest in product engineering and development and its focus on delivering a high-quality product and superior service will strengthen the Company’s market position when demand for its products rebound. In response to the short-term outlook, the Company has taken aggressive actions to conserve cash, right-size its operations and cost structure, and will continue to do so based on its forecast. These actions included adjustments to workforce, reduced purchases of raw materials and reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company continues to review its internal processes to identify inefficiencies and cost reduction opportunities. The Company will continue to scrutinize its relationships with external suppliers to ensure it is achieving the highest quality materials and services at the most competitive cost.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 2015 versus March 31, 2014

Net revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $13,754,000 and $14,541,000, respectively, a decrease of $787,000 or 5.4%. Net revenues declined from the prior quarter as the domestic highway construction industry continues to remain cautious on the shortfall in federal funding of the Highway Trust Fund. Funding under MAP-21 expires on May 31, 2015.

As a percent of sales, gross profit margin increased from 25.4% in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to 26.4% in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 primarily from improved production efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $257,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. In February 2014, the Company collected $393,000 on a receivable which had been fully reserved in prior years. The $393,000 was recorded as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The Company had operating income of $1,500,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 versus $1,820,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The reduction in operating income was primarily due to lower net revenues and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, investment interest and dividend income, net of fees, from the investment portfolio was $197,000 as compared to $490,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities were $195,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 versus $685,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 37.4% versus 36.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was impacted by tax-exempt interest income and premium amortization on municipal bonds.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $1,184,000, or $.12 per diluted share, versus $1,901,000, or $.20 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The reduced net income was primarily due to lower sales, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, and reduced returns on the investment portfolio.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2015 versus March 31, 2014

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $20,041,000 and $24,560,000, respectively, a decrease of 18.4%.

Gross profit margin decreased to 19.8% in the six months ended March 31, 2015 from 21.3% in the six months ended March 31, 2014. The lower gross profit margin resulted from reduced net revenues.

Product engineering and development expenses decreased $45,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $173,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014. The 2014 expenses were reduced by a $393,000 recovery of a previously reserved receivable.

The Company had an operating loss of $(134,000) for the six months ended March 31, 2015 versus operating income of $1,238,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The reduced operating results were due to lower net revenues and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

11

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, investment interest and dividend income, net of fees, from the investment portfolio was $520,000 as compared to $1,430,000 in the 2014 comparable period. The net realized and unrealized losses on marketable securities were $(232,000) for the six months ended March 31, 2015 versus net realized and unrealized gains of $1,223,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2015 was 42.2% versus 39.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The effective income tax rate in 2014 was impacted by a $129,000 increase in the prior year federal tax provision estimate. In addition, the effective income tax rate for 2014 was impacted by tax-exempt interest income and premium amortization on municipal bonds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company does not currently require a credit facility but continues to review and evaluate its needs and options for such a facility.

The Company had no long-term or short-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2015 or September 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had funded $135,000 in cash deposits at insurance companies to cover related collateral needs.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $10,010,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and $87,400,000 in marketable securities, including $19,087,000 in equities, $12,406,000 in mutual funds, $4,053,000 in exchange-traded funds, $43,899,000 in government securities and $7,955,000 in cash and money funds. These marketable securities are invested through a global professional investment management firm. These securities may be liquidated at any time into cash and cash equivalents.

The Company’s working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was equal to $108.0 million at March 31, 2015 and $107.7 million at September 30, 2014. Cash provided by operations during the six months ended March 31, 2015 was $3,078,000. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings increased $2.0 million reflecting an increase in jobs-in-progress at March 31, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014. Customer deposits increased $4.3 million with the increase in the number of open percentage-of-completion jobs compared to September 30, 2014.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $261,000 were related to capital expenditures. There were no cash disbursements or receipts related to financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Seasonality

The Company’s operations are concentrated in the asphalt-related business and are typically subject to a seasonal slow-down during the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. This slow-down often results in lower reported sales, and earnings or losses during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year ended September 30.

Forward-Looking Information

This Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which represent the Company’s expectations and beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning gross margins, sales of the Company’s products and future financing plans. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including the financial condition of the Company’s customers, changes in the economic and competitive environments and demand for the Company’s products.

For information concerning these factors and related matters, see the following sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014: (a) “Risk Factors” in Part I and (b) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II. However, other factors besides those referenced could adversely affect the Company’s 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 the Company herein speak as of the date of this Report. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

The Company believes the following discussion addresses its most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the 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 the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, “Accounting Policies.”

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company uses 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. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions made in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable, but are inherently uncertain. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unanticipated events may occur. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated results.

Revenues & Expenses

Revenues from contracts for the design, manufacture and sale of asphalt plants are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting for these contracts recognizes revenue, net of any promotional discounts, and costs in proportion to actual labor costs incurred as compared with total estimated labor costs expected to be incurred during the entire contract. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is classified as current assets under “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings.” The Company anticipates that all incurred costs associated with these contracts at March 31, 2015 will be billed and collected within one year.

Revenues from all other contracts for the design and manufacture of custom equipment, for service and for parts sales, net of any discounts and return allowances, are recorded when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: product is delivered or service is performed, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using historical experience. The Company’s customers may qualify for certain cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Provisions for these rebates, as well as estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

13

Product warranty costs are estimated using historical experience and known issues and are charged to production costs as revenue is recognized.

All product engineering and development costs, and 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.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by performing a specific review of all account balances greater than 90 days past due and other higher risk amounts to determine collectability and also adjusting for any known customer payment issues with account balances in the less-than-90-day past due aging buckets. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectable. Any recoveries of account balances previously considered in the allowance for doubtful accounts reduce future additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined principally by using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and market defined as replacement cost for raw materials and net realizable value for work in process and finished goods. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, possible alternative uses and other factors in determining net realizable value. The cost of work in process and finished goods includes materials, direct labor, variable costs and overhead. The Company evaluates the need to record inventory adjustments on all inventories, including raw material, work in process, finished goods, spare parts and used equipment. Used equipment acquired by the Company on trade-in from customers is carried at estimated net realizable value. Unless specific circumstances warrant different treatment regarding inventory obsolescence, the cost basis of inventories three to four years old are reduced by 50%, while the cost basis of inventories four to five years old are reduced by 75%, and the cost basis of inventories greater than five years old are reduced to zero. Inventory is typically reviewed for obsolescence on an annual basis computed as of September 30, the Company’s fiscal year end. If significant known changes in trends, technology or other specific circumstances that warrant consideration occur during the year, then the impact on obsolescence is considered at that time.

Investments

Marketable debt and equity securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing or latest bid prices for Level 1 investments and market standard valuation methodologies for Level 2 investments. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification and are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of operations in the current period and represent the change in the fair value of investment holdings during the period.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess over its fair value of the asset’s carrying value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices principally located in the United States. 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 may use derivative financial instruments consisting primarily of interest rate hedge agreements to manage exposure to interest rate changes. The Company’s objective in managing its exposure to changes in interest rates on any future variable rate debt is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow and reduce overall borrowing costs.

At March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the Company had no debt outstanding. The Company’s marketable securities are invested primarily in stocks, government securities, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds through a global professional investment management firm. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with investment 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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Because of inherent limitations, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure controls and procedures are met and no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, has reviewed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

Marketable Securities

Note 2 - Marketable Securities

Marketable debt and equity securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing or latest bid prices for Level 1 investments and market standard valuation methodologies for Level 2 investments. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification and are recognized as incurred in the statements of operations. Net unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statements of operations in the current period and represent the change in the fair value of investment holdings during the period.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instruments is presented based upon a hierarchy of levels that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of marketable equity securities, exchange traded funds, mutual funds and government securities are substantially based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Corporate and municipal bonds are valued using market standard valuation methodologies, including: discounted cash flow methodologies, matrix pricing or other similar techniques. The inputs to these market standard valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to: interest rates, credit standing of the issuer or counterparty, industry sector of the issuer, coupon rate, call provisions, maturity, estimated duration and assumptions regarding liquidity and estimated future cash flows. In addition to bond characteristics, the valuation methodologies incorporate market data, such as actual trades completed, bids and actual dealer quotes, where such information is available. Accordingly, the estimated fair values are based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments (Level 2). Fair values of the Level 2 investments are provided by the Company’s professional investment management firm.

The following table sets forth, by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2015:
