Law Enforcement Associates Corporation (LEA) (AMEX: AID), the largest U.S. developer and manufacturer of undercover surveillance equipment, today announced that it filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is the official form giving notice that the Company has elected to voluntarily withdraw its listing on the American Stock Exchange. As a result of the filing, the Company is set to be removed from trading on the AMEX at the open of business on November 28, 2008. A market maker has filed a Form 211 with FINRA to have the Company's common stock re-listed on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.

Management said the decision to withdrawal its AMEX listing was motivated by a projected $100,000 in annual cost savings opportunities. "We are making significant progress in our efforts to improve our financial performance, reduce costs and ultimately deliver sustained profitability," said Paul Feldman, president. "Unfortunately, with the current turmoil in the markets, we do not believe that the benefits of our AMEX listing have offset the associated expenses. Moreover, we do not believe that the AMEX's request that we execute a reverse split of our common stock would have been in the best interest of our shareholders."
