GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Solicitation and Revocability of Proxies

 

The enclosed proxy is being solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Elecsys Corporation for use at the annual meeting of the stockholders to be held on September 21, 2006, or at any adjournment thereof, at 2:00 p.m. local time, at the Company’s new headquarters, 846 N. Mart-Way Court, Olathe, Kansas. Any proxy given does not affect your right to vote in person at the annual meeting and you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by notifying Todd A. Daniels, Secretary, by mail, telegram or facsimile, or by appearing at the annual meeting in person and casting a ballot. This proxy statement and the proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about August 11, 2006.

 

All expenses of solicitation will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitations by mail, employees and directors of the Company may solicit proxies in person or by telephone. We do not expect to pay any compensation for the solicitation of proxies.

 

Voting Procedures

 

Shares represented by a properly signed proxy received pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in accordance with instructions thereon. If the proxy is properly signed and returned and no instructions are given on the proxy with respect to the matters to be acted upon, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the annual meeting or any adjournment thereof for the election, as director of the Company, of the nominee named in this proxy. The nominee hereinafter named has indicated his willingness to serve if elected, and it is not anticipated that he will become unavailable for election. However, if the nominee should unexpectedly become unavailable for election for any reason, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted for such substituted nominee as the Board of Directors may name.

 

The enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority to the proxyholders to vote on any other business that may properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other business, other than the matter described in this proxy statement and except for matters incident to the conduct of the annual meeting, to be presented for action at the annual meeting and does not itself intend to present any such other business. However, if any such other business does come before the annual meeting or any adjournment thereof, shares represented by proxies

properly signed and returned pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in the discretion of the proxy holder.

 

The nominee for director receiving the greatest number of votes at the annual meeting will be elected as a director. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote, or otherwise) have no impact in the election of directors except to the extent the failure to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of the total votes.

 

Only holders of common stock of the Company of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2006, are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. At the close of business on that date, 3,239,937 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share held on the record date.

Stan Gegen, age 55, was appointed to the Board of Directors on July 22, 2004 and was elected to his first three year term to serve on the Board in September 2005.

Mr. Gegen is currently the Chairman of the Audit Committee and serves on the Compensation Committee.

 

Committees and Director Meetings

 

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. The entire Board of Directors acts as the Nominating Committee and each director participates in the consideration of director nominees. The Nominating Committee meets the independence requirements of the American Stock Exchange. The Nominating Committee does not have a charter.

 

Stockholders wishing to submit the name of a candidate for the Board of Directors should submit the recommendation, along with the candidate’s biographical information, to the Secretary of the Company at 846 N. Mart-Way Court, Olathe, Kansas, 66061. Other than this submission requirement, there are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates a stockholder recommended director nominee. Potential nominees are identified by the Board of Directors based on the criteria, skills and qualifications that have been recognized by the Nominating Committee. Once a potential nominee for director has been identified, including those candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating Committee determines whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This determination is based primarily on the need for additional directors to fill vacancies or expand the size of the Board of Directors. If it is determined that additional consideration is warranted, the Nominating Committee will then evaluate the potential nominee against the qualifications and skills it believes are necessary for directors to possess, including:

 

 

Independence in accordance with the American Stock Exchange standards;

 

High personal and professional ethics, integrity, and mature judgment;

 

Business experience that is useful to the Company and complementary to the background and experience of the other directors;

 

A commitment to serve and the ability to devote the required amount of time to carry out the duties and responsibilities of a director; and

 

Other relevant factors as the Nominating Committee may determine.

 

 

5

 



 

 

An independent director on the Board of Directors nominated the nominee standing for election at the annual meeting. The nominee is already serving as a director of the Company.

 

The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include: (i) retaining and compensating the public accounting firm to be engaged to audit the Company; and (ii) reviewing with the independent accountants the Company’s quarterly results, the plan for, and results of, the auditing engagement, and the Company’s internal accounting controls. In July 2006, the Board of Directors ratified the previously adopted charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A. Mr. Gegen and Mr. Taylor comprise the Audit Committee and are independent (as defined in Section 121(A) of the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange). Mr. Gegen is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held eleven meetings during fiscal year 2006. The Board has determined that both Mr. Gegen and Mr. Taylor qualify as audit committee financial experts.

 

The Compensation Committee met once during the last fiscal year and is comprised of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Gegen. Mr. Taylor serves as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has been given the responsibility of setting and administering the policies governing the annual compensation of the Company’s executive officers, as well as the Company’s benefit plans other than the Elecsys Corporation Stock Option Plan. The entire Board administers the Elecsys Corporation Stock Option Plan.

 

The Board of Directors held eight meetings during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all Committees on which the director served.

 

The Company encourages each member of the Board of Directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All directors were in attendance at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or with a particular director may send a letter to Todd A. Daniels, the Secretary of the Company, at 846 N. Mart-Way Court, Olathe, Kansas 66061. Any communication should clearly specify that it is intended to be made to the entire Board of Directors or to one or more particular directors. The Secretary will forward the correspondence to the Board of Directors who may review the correspondence in their next meeting. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters are immediately brought to the attention of Stan Gegen, Chairman of the Audit Committee.

 

Report of the Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to

 

6

 



 

be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 from the independent auditor and has discussed with the auditor the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services rendered by the Company’s principal accountant are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. Pursuant to its review, the Audit Committee approved and authorized the Board of Directors to include the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the last fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stan Gegen, Chairman

Robert D. Taylor

Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

 

Independent Public Accountants

 

On October 12, 2005, the Company replaced Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. as its independent accountants. The audit report of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

The decision to replace Mayer Hoffman McCann was approved by the Board of Directors on October 12, 2005.

 

In connection with its audit for the 2005 fiscal year, there were no disagreements with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. would have caused them to make reference to them in their report on the financial statements for that year.

 

On October 12, 2005, the Company engaged McGladrey & Pullen LLP, as independent accountants for purposes of auditing the financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. The decision to retain McGladrey & Pullen LLP was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 12, 2005.

 

The Company did not consult with McGladrey & Pullen LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements, and no written or oral advice was provided by McGladrey & Pullen LLP that was a factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue prior to October 12, 2005.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Audit Committee of the Company has not met to discuss the engagement of independent accountants for the purposes of

 

7

 



 

auditing the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2007.

 

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to the Company for fiscal years ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 by the Company’s respective principal accounting firms.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the accountant’s independence. The Audit Committee pre-approves all non-audit services as presented and prior to any work being performed.

 

It is anticipated that a representative from McGladrey & Pullen LLP will be present at the annual meeting. If a representative from McGladrey & Pullen LLP is in attendance at the annual meeting it is anticipated that they will be available to respond to appropriate questions and, if they desire, to make a statement.

The following persons are not considered independent:

 

 

(1)

a director who is employed by the Company or any of its affiliates for the current year or any of the past three years;

 

(2)

a director who accepts compensation from the Company or any of its affiliates in excess of $60,000 during the previous fiscal year, other than compensation for board service, benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation;

 

(3)

All members of the Audit Committee shall be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement at the time of their appointment to the Audit Committee.

 

The members of the Audit Committee shall be elected by the Board of Directors at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors to serve a term of one (1) year or until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified. The Board of Directors will appoint a Chair to preside at the Audit Committee meetings and schedule meetings as appropriate.

The Audit Committee shall be provided appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Directors, for the payment of (i) compensation to the independent auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company; (ii) compensation to any advisors employed by the Audit Committee; the employment of which the Audit Committee determines necessary to carry out its duties; and (iii) ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

I.

PURPOSE

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing: (i) the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to any governmental body or the public; (ii) the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and the Board of Directors has established; and (iii) the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes generally. Consistent with this function, the Audit Committee should encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster compliance with, the Company’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels. The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are as follows:

 

To serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system.

 

To review and appraise the audit efforts of the Company’s independent auditors and internal auditing department.

 

To provide an open avenue of communication among the independent auditors, financial and senior management, the internal auditing department, and the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in Section IV of this Charter.

 

15

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and a representative from independent auditors may be invited to all meetings. Other management may be invited as necessary. Non-committee members may be excused from attendance at any meeting or portion of any meeting by the Chair.

As part of its job to foster open communication, the Audit Committee should meet at least annually with management and the independent auditors in separate executive sessions to discuss any matter that the Audit Committee or each of these groups believes should be discussed privately. In addition, the Audit Committee or its Chair should meet with the independent auditors and management quarterly to review the Company’s financial statements and significant findings based upon the auditor’s limited review procedures.
