        <footnote id="F1">This amendment is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting the Conversion or Exercise Price of Derivative Security in the original Form 4 filed March 2, 2009. Inadvertently, the strike price was listed as $2.50 but should have been $2.925. In addition, the original footnote number 1 becomes footnote number 2 and the original footnote number 2 becomes footnote number 3</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Granted pursuant to the Hickok Incorporated 2007 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan which complies with Rule 16b-3. These options become exercisable in equal 33% increments over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The reporting person still holds previously reported options to buy 6,000 Class A Common Shares granted pursuant to the Hickok Incorporated 2000 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan, the Hickok Incorporated 2003 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan and the Hickok Incorporated 2007 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan. All these plans comply with Rule 16b-3. These options were granted between February 21, 2003 and February 21, 2008 at exercise prices ranging from $3.67 to $11.00, become or became exercisable between February 21, 2004 and February 21, 2011, and will expire between February 21, 2013 and February 21, 2018.</footnote>
