ELU Accelerated Return Notes Linked TO The Phlx Semiconductor Index

eLinear, Inc. (AMEX:ELU) announced today that it has filed a request with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a 15-day extension to file its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. The filing is being delayed while the company applies accounting adjustments to the quarter ended December 31, 2005, which has resulted from recent restatements of its previously filed Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Forms 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, June 30, 2005 and 2004 and September 30, 2004. The company has begun filing all of its amended filings requested by the SEC staff on April 3, 2006, to ensure compliance with the AMEX listing requirements. The restatements were required by the new SEC position that requires application of EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133 to certain convertible warrants and debentures issued over the last two years. The Company expects to file its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, no later than the end of the 15-day extension. Filings completed in this manner are considered to be timely filed by the American Stock Exchange and the Securities Exchange Commission.
