ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

            Extended Systems Incorporated ("ESI") entered into a Binding
Memorandum of Understanding effective April 27, 2005 (the "Agreement") with
Agilent Technologies Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("Agilent"), a subsidiary of U.S.-based
Agilent Technologies, Inc., Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.,
("Samsung"), and two Samsung U.S. affiliates. The Agreement resolves a lawsuit
in which ESI had sought, among other things, to recover damages or unpaid
royalties due as a result of Samsung's use of ESI's XTNDAccess(TM) IrDA Software
Development Kit (SDK) and XTNDAccess(TM) IrFM SDK solutions (collectively, "Ir
Software") in combination with Agilent transceiver products. Under the term of
the Agreement, ESI entered into a royalty-bearing license with Samsung for
future use of Ir Software. ESI also granted Samsung an option to purchase for a
lump sum a two-year license to use ESI's Ir Software and its XTNDConnect PC
software in Samsung cell phones. At the conclusion of the two-year paid up
licenses, Samsung would have the option to continue to license the software at
royalty rates not greater than those set out in the Agreement. In addition to
$1.5 million in payments received by ESI in March and April 2005 toward claims
asserted in the lawsuit, the Agreement also provides that Samsung and Agilent
will pay ESI an additional $1.25 million by May 27, 2005, $2.0 million by August
31, 2005 and a final installment of $1.0 million by December 1, 2005.

ITEM 2.02   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

            On May 3, 2005, ESI issued a press release that contained financial
data for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 ended March 31, 2005 and that provided
initial financial guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. A copy of the
press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
