State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

Hickok Incorporated  (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed date without unreasonable effort or expense. The reason for the delay is to allow the Company additional time to gather information required for an accurate and full completion of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is working to finalize arrangements with respect to an extension of the Company's current convertible loan agreement with Roundball LLC. Those arrangements are currently expected to be completed within the next two weeks may, if completed, impact the Company's financial statements for fiscal 2015 and other information required to be disclosed in the Form 10-K. The filing delay is not the result of the need to restate any prior period financial results. At this point, the company expects to be able to file within the additional time allowed by the Form 12b-25.
