DEVCON RECEIVES NOTICE REGARDING NONCOMPLIANCE WITH NASDAQ’S MINIMUM STOCKHOLDERS’

EQUITY REQUIREMENT

Boca Raton, FL, April 10, 2008—Devcon International Corp. (NASDAQ: DEVC) announced that it has received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market dated April 4, 2008 informing Devcon that it no longer complies with the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The rule requires that Devcon maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $10,000,000.

As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by Devcon on April 10, 2008, based on the Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007, Devcon’s stockholders’ equity is below the minimum as required by the Marketplace Rules of Nasdaq. Consistent with the Marketplace Rules, Devcon has until April 21, 2008 to provide a plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements. In the event Devcon does not regain compliance within this period, Devcon’s common stock will be delisted. At such time, Devcon may appeal the decision. Additionally, Devcon may move its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Devcon is currently examining the options available to it and anticipates compliance prior to the deadline set by Nasdaq.
