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

On February 16, 2005, Collins Industries, Inc. received notice of a determination by Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff that the Company fails to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) for continued listing due to the delayed filing of its annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that its securities are therefore subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National Market.  The Company intends to appeal the Staff’s determination to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which will stay the delisting until the appeal has been heard and the Panel has rendered its decision.  In connection with this appeal and pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4820, the Company intends to submit a written request for hearing to Nasdaq’s Office of Listing Qualifications Hearings.  There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

The Company issued a press release on February 22, 2005 regarding this matter.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
