Item 5.       Other Events.

          Elecsys Corporation (the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter")
from the American Stock Exchange (the "Amex" or "Exchange") Staff stating that
the Company does not meet all of the Exchange's continued listing standards as
set forth in Part 10 of the Amex Company Guide. The Company will submit a plan
to the Amex Listings Qualifications Department (the "Department") setting forth
definitive actions that the management expects will bring the Company into
conformity with the Exchange's continued listing standards within an agreed upon
period subsequent to receipt of the Letter. The Company's common stock will
continue to trade on the Exchange pending the Department decision. The Company
has issued a press release disclosing this information.
