CLEVELAND, OH, February 11 Hickok Incorporated (OTC Bulletin Board: HICKA.OB), a Cleveland based supplier of products and services for automotive, emissions testing, locomotive, and aircraft industries, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2008 first quarter ended December 31, 2007.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $1,108,889 or 90 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $390,744 or 32 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. Sales in the first quarter were $7,241,412, up 230% from $2,191,630 a year ago.

Robert L. Bauman, President and CEO said the first quarter results were unusually strong due to shipments of equipment to customers participating in the California Evaporative Emissions Testing Program that the state implemented December 1, 2007. Although the program is largely behind us we are hopeful that the success of the program will encourage other states to consider such programs, he said. He also said that automotive aftermarket sales were weak in the quarter and that he expects the weakness to continue in the second quarter, however, the Company expects the market to get stronger as the year progresses. He added that a project for testing diesel engine fuel injectors is progressing well and the Company believes it will result in substantial orders later this year.

Backlog at December 31, 2007 was $885,000 a slight increase from the backlog of $880,000 a year earlier. The increase was due primarily to increased orders for automotive diagnostic products to automotive OEM's and aftermarket products which include emissions products of $17,000 and $67,000 respectively. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in indicator products of approximately $79,000. These lower levels of backlog are more typical for the Company versus the large backlog level at September 30, 2007 of $5,756,000. The Company anticipates that most of the current backlog will be shipped in fiscal 2008.

The Company's financial position remains strong, with current assets of $8,718,219 that are 10.1 times current liabilities, and no long-term debt, and working capital of  $7,856,399.  At December 31, 2007 shareholder's equity was $9,667,613 or $7.82 per share.
