       EXTENDED SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF NASDAQ DELISTING NOTIFICATION

                   NASDAQ RULE VIOLATION RELATED TO UNREVIEWED
                FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN RECENTLY FILED FORM 10-Q

BOISE, Idaho--(November 18, 2004)--Extended Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: XTND),
a leading provider of mobile application solutions for the enterprise, announced
that it received on November 17, 2004 a Nasdaq Staff Determination indicating
its securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq National Market at the
opening of business on November 29, 2004. The Company's recently filed Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q contained interim financial statements that had not been
reviewed by an independent accountant; as such, the filing is incomplete and the
Company fails to comply with the requirements for continued listing set forth in
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

The Company intends to appeal Staff's determination by requesting a hearing
before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel ("the Panel"). The Company's stock
will continue to be listed while the appeal is pending. Effective November 19,
2004, the fifth character "E" will be added to the Company's trading symbol so
that it will be changed from XTND to XTNDE. There can be no assurance that the
Company's request for continued listing during the period it seeks to retain an
independent accountant and complete the review of its interim financial
statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 will be granted.

As previously announced by the Company, on October 28, 2004 its registered
independent public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), informed
the Company they are not independent and cannot perform audit and quarterly
review services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, because one of
Deloitte's member firms had rendered de minimis services for the Company. Due to
the timing of Deloitte's withdrawal from the engagement, the Company was not
able to engage an independent registered public accounting firm to complete a
review of the Company's interim financial statements before the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was required to be filed on November 15, 2004. The
Company has not yet engaged an independent registered public accounting firm to
replace Deloitte, but is actively engaged in discussions with several
candidates.
