RULE 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) CERTIFICATION
I, Robert L. Bauman, certify that:
I have reviewed this quarterly
report
on Form 10-Q of Hickok Incorporated (the "registrant");
Based on my knowledge, this report
does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
Based on my knowledge, the
financial statements, and other financial information included in this
report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as
of, and for,
the periods presented in this report;
The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
a) Designed such
disclosure
controls and
procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to
be
designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information
relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;
b) Designed such internal controls over
financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial
reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles;
c) Evaluated the effectiveness of
the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and
presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered
by this report based on such evaluation; and
d) Disclosed in this report any
change in the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent
fiscal quarter
(the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual
report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially
affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting;
and
The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
