Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:TMWD), a leading provider of email
security, secure file transfer, and identity validation products,
today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March
31, 2006. Financial Results Tumbleweed reported record revenue in
Q1-06 of $15.1 million, compared to $12.0 million in Q1-05; a net
loss of $1.0 million, compared to a net loss of $1.1 in Q1-05; and
non-GAAP income of $1.5 million, compared to a non-GAAP loss of
$171,000 in Q1-05. Net loss per share for each of Q1-06 and Q1-05
was $(0.02). Non-GAAP income per share for Q1-06 was $0.03,
compared to non-GAAP loss per share of $(0.00) in Q1-05. Q1 Key
Financial Results: * Revenue increased to a record $15.1 million,
up 26% from Q1-05. * License revenue was $7.4 million, an increase
of 67% from Q1-05. * Non-GAAP income was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per
share, an improvement from a non-GAAP loss of $171,000, or $(0.00)
per share, in Q1-05. * In Q1-06, Tumbleweed adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 123R ("SFAS 123R"), which requires
that the fair value of employee stock option grants be recorded in
the Statement of Operations. As a result, approximately $1.7
million in stock-based compensation expense was recognized in
Q1-06. Tumbleweed recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$136,000 in Q1-05 under then-applicable accounting rules. * Cash
flow from operations was positive for the sixth consecutive quarter
and cash and cash equivalent balances increased to $27.4 million at
March 31, 2006. * Deferred revenue increased to $23.1 million, an
increase of 18% from $19.7 million at Q1-05. "I am pleased to
announce the achievement of record financial results for the first
quarter of 2006," said James P. Scullion, Chief Executive Officer
of Tumbleweed. "When I came on board in January, I asked
Tumbleweed's employees to focus on execution. They delivered." "We
saw particular strength in our secure file transfer business as we
closed two significant orders with major financial institutions,
reflecting strategic decisions to use our SecureTransport product
as a key element in their security infrastructure. We made progress
on several other fronts as well, including the continued expansion
of our market reach through the reseller distribution and inside
sales channels, and the hiring of Daniel Greenberg, an industry
veteran with 20 years of marketing experience, as our new Chief
Marketing Officer," continued Scullion. "We look forward to
improving our productivity in the quarters to come, as well as
refining our vision and strategy to deliver further growth in the
future," Scullion concluded. Customer Wins and Distribution The
first quarter of 2006 was particularly noteworthy in that
Tumbleweed closed contracts with two of the largest financial
institutions in the United States, as noted above. One of these
represented the largest enterprise contract in Tumbleweed's
history. Tumbleweed further continued to execute on its goal of
attracting new customers while expanding penetration into its
existing customer base. During the first quarter, Tumbleweed
entered into more than 500 customer contracts including
approximately 100 with new customers. New customers were primarily
in the financial services, health care, and government markets.
Approximately 150 customers entered into contracts for repeat
business, exclusive of maintenance renewals. Tumbleweed now has
more than 1,700 enterprise customers. Recent Announcements *
Tumbleweed announced the hiring of Daniel Greenberg Chief Marketing
Officer on April 3, 2006. Greenberg brings nearly two decades of
leadership experience in marketing and delivering world-class
products to market. Prior to joining Tumbleweed, Greenberg was vice
president of worldwide marketing and product management at
Macrovision's software technology group. Before Macrovision,
Greenberg was a founder and vice president of marketing and product
management at Active Decisions and before that he was vice
president global marketing for ACNielsen. Greenberg has also held
strategic marketing positions with Dun & Bradstreet and General
Motors. * Tumbleweed's MailGate Email Firewall was named the "Best
Email Content Filtering Solution" by SC Magazine -- the largest
information security magazine today. With over 1,300 product and
service nominations from over 330 competing companies globally, the
SC Awards are the world's leading awards program for the
information security industry. * Tumbleweed's MailGate Appliance
won the only "Recommended" product rating in a SC Magazine test of
nine Anti-Spam solutions. The goal of the SC Magazine anti-spam
test was to look at each appliance and its ability to filter email,
both in-bound and out-bound, in addition to the techniques used by
each vendor, as well as the overall functionality of each
appliance, all of which was based on each manufacturer's
recommended settings. The complete article and vendor-by-vendor
breakdown of the review is available in the January 2006 issue of
SC Magazine. * Tumbleweed announced that the Federal Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) Policy Authority's Path Discovery and
Validation (PD-Val) working group has qualified the Tumbleweed
Validation Authority(TM) (VA) and Desktop Validator(TM) (DV) for
Federal government agencies employing enterprise- level, real time
validation of digital certificates. Second Quarter 2006 Financial
Outlook "We were certainly pleased with our record results in the
first quarter," said Tim Conley, Chief Financial Officer of
Tumbleweed. "As stated in the past, we have seen extended sales
cycles for large, more significant customer orders, especially for
our SecureTransport and Validation Authority products. The effect
is an increased variability, or lumpiness, in our quarterly
results." Conley concluded, "Although our second quarter outlook
reflects this factor, we do continue to expect annual growth
year-over-year." Tumbleweed's outlook for the second quarter of
2006: * Tumbleweed currently estimates that revenue in the second
quarter of 2006 will be between $12.5 million and $14.0 million. *
Net loss for the second quarter of 2006 is currently expected to be
approximately $2.6 million to $1.5 million, or $(0.05) to $(0.03)
per share. * Non-GAAP results are currently expected to range from
a loss of $500,000 to income of $600,000, or $(0.01) to $0.01 per
share. Per share amounts are based on approximately 50.0 million
basic and diluted shares. Non- GAAP net loss excludes amortization
of intangible assets estimated to be $800,000 and stock-based
compensation expense estimated to be approximately $1.3 million.

conference call at 2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT) today to discuss

The non-GAAP 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 and stock-based compensation expense. 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 income of $1.5 million for Q1-06 and
non-GAAP loss of $171,000 for Q1-05, respectively, for non-GAAP
measures used by other companies. Safe Harbor Statement Tumbleweed

release are based on current plans and expectations, and that a

beliefs about Tumbleweed's opportunity ahead, the growth of the
markets it addresses, and its ability to participate in the growth
of those markets. As noted, these results are preliminary and
therefore subject to change as Tumbleweed completes its review of
the first quarter. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be
