ELU Accelerated Return Notes Linked TO The Phlx Semiconductor Index

eLinear, Inc. (AMEX:ELU) announced today an update in relation to the November 22, 2005 notice the company received from the Amex staff indicating that the company did not meet certain of the American Stock Exchange's continued listing standards due to its delayed filing of its fiscal third quarter financial statements per the Amex Company Guide. The company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the exchange and on December 8, 2005, presented its plan to the Amex. On January 24, 2006, the American Stock Exchange notified eLinear that it accepted the company's plan of compliance and granted eLinear an extension of time to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The company will be subject to periodic review by Amex staff during the extension period which ends on February 15, 2006. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the company being delisted from the American Stock Exchange. Michael Lewis, President & Chief Executive Officer of eLinear, stated, "Consistent with our previous announcements, we continue to keep a fully open communication channel with the American Stock Exchange as we work our way through the regulatory process with the SEC that initially prohibited us from filing our fiscal third quarter financial statements in a timely manner per the Amex Company Guide. We are pleased with the progress we have been making towards getting through the process and getting the outstanding issues behind us and remain confident that our listing on the American Stock Exchange will not be affected."
