Section 3 – Securities and Trading markets

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 18, 2010 Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp (“Tel” or “Company announced that the NYSE Amex accepted its proposed plan to return to compliance with the minimum stockholder equity requirement by January 30, 2012. As previously reported, the Company was not in compliance with the Exchange’s requirement for continued listing of its shares under Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Exchange’s rules as its stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2010 was $3.85 million as compared to the $4.0 million minimum requirement. Based upon the information provided by the Company, the Exchange has determined that the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to regain compliance with Section 1009 of the Company Guide by January 30, 2012. Based on this, the Exchange will continue the listing of the Company.

The Exchange will periodically review the Company for compliance with the Plan. If the Company does not show progress consistent with the Plan, the Exchange Staff will review the circumstances and could commence delisting proceedings. The Company is confident that it will achieve its objectives and maintain its listing on the NYSE Amex.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
