         Cedar  Falls,  IA - December  14,  2000 - Top Air  Manufacturing,  Inc.
(Amex:TPC)  announced today its receipt of a notice on December 7, 2000 from the
staff of the  American  Stock  Exchange  informing  the Company that because the
Company  is no  longer  in  compliance  with the  Exchange's  continued  listing
guidelines,  the  Exchange  has filed an  application  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  to "strike the  Company's  Common  Stock from  listing and
registration on the Exchange." The notice stated that the Company's Common Stock
is subject to delisting pursuant to Sections 1003(c)(ii) and 1003(c)(iii) of the
Exchange's  Company Guide,  due to the Company's  impending  liquidation and the
Company's belief that its shareholders will not receive any of the proceeds from
such liquidation.  The Company has informed the Exchange that it does not intend
to appeal  the  determination  of the  Exchange  or  request a hearing  before a
committee of the Exchange.
