ELU Accelerated Return Notes Linked TO The Phlx Semiconductor Index

eLinear, Inc. (AMEX:ELU) announced today that it and its wholly owned subsidiary, eLinear Solutions, have been awarded a $580,000 contract to deploy a Cisco IP Telephony System. This revenue will be realized during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005. This implementation is for one of the world's largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, which is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The aforementioned E&P firm conducts exploration, production and development operations in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Africa, China and South America. Michael Lewis, President & Chief Executive Officer of eLinear, stated, "We are very excited to see that our customer's satisfaction in the initial $100,000 project, which was unrelated to this Cisco implementation, has now led to expanded opportunities. Once our customers engage us in a deployment, they are able to experience the value of our solutions resolving their business issues. Consequently, we believe opportunities like this will surface over and over again both within our current account base and with targeted prospects. Stephen Lurie, eLinear's IP Convergence Practice Manager, stated, "This win is another example of our team's ability to successfully cross-sell a variety of networking solutions to some of the most notable companies in the world. After talking to a number of Cisco partners, the customer felt our expertise, diverse background and our global VoIP experience could take them to the next stage of their IP Telephony rollout." eLinear previously announced revenue guidance of $32,000,000 to $36,000,000 for fiscal 2005 and targets reaching operating profitability during the fourth quarter of 2005.
