Excelligence Receives Notice of Potential Delisting from NASDAQ Due to Late Filing of Form 10-Q.

MONTEREY, Calif. -- Excelligence Learning Corporation (Nasdaq:LRNS) announced today that, on August 16, 2005, the Company received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Listing Qualifications Staff that the Company's securities are subject to potential delisting as of August 25, 2005 from The NASDAQ Stock Market due to the Company's failure to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2005 on a timely basis.

On August 12, 2005, the Company announced a delay in the filing of its Form 10-Q pending completion of an internal investigation of allegations by current and former accounting personnel that the Company had improperly failed to record and accrue for certain obligations for the period and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Company currently cannot estimate when it may file its Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2005, but will do so as soon as practicable following completion of the investigation.

Because of this delay, the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), which requires the timely filing with NASDAQ of all reports and other documents filed or required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of the filing delinquency, NASDAQ changed the Company's trading symbol for its securities from "LRNS" to "LRNSE" at the opening of business on August 18, 2005.

The Company expects to make a timely request for hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to request continued listing on The NASDAQ SmallCap Market until the Company files its Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2005. In its notification letter, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff informed the Company that this request will result in a postponement of the delisting pending the Panel's decision. However, the Company can provide no assurance that the Panel will grant its request for continued listing.
