financial information included in this press release is not
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principals ("GAAP") as it excludes amortization of intangible
assets, stock-based compensation expense, and merger-related and
other costs (credits). Management believes that the presentation of
non-GAAP information may provide useful information to investors
because Tumbleweed has historically provided this information and
understands that some investors consider it useful in evaluating
Tumbleweed's expenses exclusive of specific, non-recurring events.
Management also uses this non-GAAP information, along with GAAP
information, in evaluating Tumbleweed's expenses and to compare
Tumbleweed's performance with that of its competitors. The non-GAAP
results should not be considered a substitute for financial
information presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures
used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial information
included in this press release excludes expenses for the
amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation
expense, and merger-related and other costs (credits) of $893,000
and $1.0 million for Q4-05 and Q4-04, respectively, and $3.7
million and $5.0 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Safe

the growth of those markets, and its ability to regain its revenue
momentum and achieve improved bottom line performance in 2006. As
