Hickok 8-K

CLEVELAND, OH, February 15 Hickok Incorporated (OTC Bulletin Board: HICKA.OB), a Cleveland based supplier of products and services for automotive, locomotive, and aircraft industries, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2007 first quarter ended December 31, 2006.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded a net loss of $390,744 or 32 cents per share, compared with net income of $104,503 or 9 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. Sales in the first quarter were $2,191,630, down 19% from $2,703,224 a year ago.

Robert L. Bauman, President and CEO said that the first quarter results were weak due to the lack of any large orders and automotive aftermarket sales are generally weaker in the calendar fourth quarter. He also said he expects the second fiscal quarter to be weak as well. He went on to say that a large emissions program the Company has worked on for several years is expected to result in substantial sales in the third or fourth fiscal quarters. In addition he said aftermarket sales are expected to get stronger as the year progresses and the Company is hopeful of some additional large orders this year.

Backlog at December 31, 2006 was $880,000 a decrease of 70% from the backlog of $2,914,000 a year earlier. The decrease was due primarily to decreased orders for automotive diagnostic products to automotive OEM's of $1,857,000 offset in part by an increase in indicator products of approximately $65,000. Aftermarket products which include emissions products and fastening systems products declined by $97,000 and $147,000 respectively. The Company anticipates that most of the current backlog will be shipped in fiscal 2007.

The Company's financial position remains strong, with current assets of $7,457,167 that are 5.4 times current liabilities, and no long-term debt, and working capital of $6,087,073. At December 31, 2006 shareholder's equity was $8,783,378 or $7.25 per share.
