|1.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K dated April 30, 2004.  In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months and six months ended October 31, 2004 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2005.
Certain reclassifications within the financial statement captions have been made to maintain consistency in presentation between years.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|2.  Advances for Indian Gaming Development:  We are advancing funds for the establishment of Indian gaming. These funds have been capitalized in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects."  Such standard requires costs associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate and real estate related projects to be capitalized as part of that project. The realization of these advances is predicated on the ability of the Company and their Indian gaming clients to successfully open and operate the proposed casinos.  There is no assurance that we will be successful.  The inability to recover these advances could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Advances to the tribes and for gaming developments are capitalized and recorded as receivables from the tribes.  These receivables, shown as Advances for Indian Gaming Development on the balance sheet, represent costs to be reimbursed to us pending approval of Indian gaming in several locations.  We have agreements in place which require payments to be made to us for the respective projects upon opening of Indian gaming facilities.  Once gaming facilities have gained proper approvals, we will enter into note receivable arrangements with the tribe to secure reimbursement of advanced funds for the particular project.  However, reserves have been recorded for Indian gaming development costs when we are unable to determine whether reimbursement from the tribes will occur.  We have agreements with the Tribes to be reimbursed for all costs incurred to develop gaming when the facilities are constructed and open.
Advances for Indian Gaming Developments totaled approximately $4,718,991 and $4,718,991 at October 31, 2004 and April 30, 2004 respectively, related to the development of Indian gaming facilities.  These amounts are net of reserves of $2,712,440 at October 31, 2004 and April 30, 2004 respectively.  Current economic projections for the gaming activities indicate adequate future cash flows to recover the advances.  In the event we are unsuccessful in establishing gaming operations, these net advances will be recovered through the liquidation of the associated assets.
|3.  Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Stock options are considered in the dilutive earnings per share calculation.

We opened a new line of credit at ISB February 10, 2004 to support the additional inventory requirements of the RVSM product line.  The current debt relating to this line of credit was $1,177,758 at October 31, 2004.
We have additional short-term promissory notes with two other banks to finance the increased RVSM related activities.  Net advances against these loans were $1,500,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2004.
We plan to continue using the promissory notes payable to fund working capital.  We believe the extensions will continue and does not anticipate the repayment of these notes in fiscal 2005.  The extension of the promissory notes-payable is consistent with prior years.  If the Bank were to demand repayment of the notes payable we currently do not have enough cash to pay off the notes without materially adversely affecting the financial condition of the Company.
We do not, as of October 31, 2004 have any material commitments for other capital expenditures other than the terms of the Indian gaming Management Agreements.  Depending upon the development schedules, we will need additional funds to complete our currently planned Indian gaming opportunities.  We will use current cash available as well as additional funds, for the start up and construction of gaming facilities. We anticipate initially obtaining these funds, for the start up and construction of gaming facilities.  After a few gaming facilities become operational, gaming operations will generate additional working capital for the start up and construction of other gaming facilities.  We expect that our start up and construction financing of gaming facilities will be replaced by other financial lenders, long term financing through debt issue, or equity issues.FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATIONThe information set forth below includes "forward-looking" information as outlined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Butler National Corporation;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|2.  Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of 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 quarterly report;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly represent 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 quarterly report;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|4.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

|5.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

|1.  I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Butler National Corporation;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|2.  Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of 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 quarterly report;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly represent 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 quarterly report;
