"In FY 2005 we reduced expenses by 9%, grew maintenance revenues by 14% and grew consulting revenues by 8%. The software industry still remains vulnerable to quarterly fluctuations in license revenues, so we've worked successfully to grow the maintenance and consulting line items. FY 2005 results show good progress in overall performance on both an EBITDA and net basis."

Geographically, the Americas region contributed 69% of total revenues in FY 2005 with the remaining 31% generated by Europe and Asia Pacific, in line with results from the previous year.

Gross margin on license revenue was $9.6 million (FY 2004 $10.5 million). Maintenance and service gross margin was $8.4 million as compared with $7.4 million in FY 2004.

"Our growing maintenance and service revenues also contributed higher gross margin this year," commented Seagull Software Chief Financial Officer Mory Motabar.

Total operating expenses (excluding restructuring expense) were $20 million, a reduction of 9% as compared with total operating expense of $22 million in FY 2004. Sales and marketing expenses were $11.3 million (FY 2004: $12.5 million). Research and development expenses decreased from $5.3 million to $4.5 million as a result of consolidation of European development labs, now concentrated in the Netherlands. General and Administrative expenses including the finance, IT, maintenance renewal, HR, and administration departments as well as legal and accounting fees were $4.2 million (FY 2004: $4.1 million).

Total cash balance increased from $6.4 million at the end of H1 FY05 to $6.9 million on 30 April 2005. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) on 30 April 2005 was 42 days, comparing very favorably with industry averages of more than 60 days.

"We continue to experience outstanding DSO, reflecting customer satisfaction with our products and services," said Mr. Motabar.

Business Highlights

Global Expansion of Enterprise Account Customer Base
In FY 2005 Seagull Software continued to steadily grow its customer base in its target market of enterprise accounts with the addition of 129 new customers across a variety of vertical markets including financial services, government, telecommunications, transportation and utilities. The Company secured new and follow-on business from customers such as ADP Nederland, Aquila, Atlanta Gas Light, Bank of America, Cap Gemini for the Inland Revenue, Cendant Car Rental, Consumers Energy, CSC Healthcare, Dutch Ministry of Defense, Fetzer GmbH, Florida Department of Revenue, Hydron Flevoland, Island Pacific, MCI, Metavante Corporation, Nestle, New England Motor Freight, Nürnberger Versicherungsgruppe, PeopleSoft, Ryder Truck, State of Texas, SunTrust and Swiss Army Brands.

Acquisition
In April 2005 Seagull Software acquired SofTouch Systems, Inc., a privately-held software company that specializes in high-performance middleware to integrate mainframe applications with service-oriented architectures (SOA). This strategic acquisition immediately furthered the Company's vision to offer unrivaled SOA-enablement for large enterprises with heterogeneous legacy systems. In addition to intellectual property, the company gained a new customer base of approximately 70 enterprises, including American Express, Getronics PinkRoccade, the New York Times, Dassault Falcon Jet, Columbia University and the State of Minnesota.

Strategic Partnerships
During FY 2005, Seagull Software and JBoss, Inc., a leader in professional open source middleware, announced a strategic partnership under which Seagull Software will distribute and support the open source JBoss Application Server, expanding the capabilities of the LegaSuite platform and delivering even greater productivity and savings to customers. As a JBoss Authorized Service Partner (JASP), Seagull Software now offers JBoss production support and indemnification to customers and resells JBoss enterprise-level services.

A global alliance was also established with Cordys, a Netherlands-based international software company providing the most comprehensive Composite Application Framework (CAF) commercially available. Under the agreement, the companies will collaborate on technology, marketing and sales initiatives worldwide.

Seagull Software expanded its presence in the Asia Pacific region by establishing distributor relationships with iMon Technologies in China and Select Software in India.

Other Accomplishments
In FY 2005, Seagull Software introduced LegaSuite Transformation Methodology (LTM™), a software development methodology for unleashing new value from legacy application assets. Complementing the LegaSuite software platform, LTM provides a proven roadmap for liberating business processes that are trapped in mainframe, midrange and Windows applications. The combination of LegaSuite and LTM exponentially speeds the service-enablement of legacy applications, helping IT to provide rapid support for business change while simultaneously migrating existing systems to a SOA.

Additional achievements for FY 2005 include:

• Ranked in the Leader Quadrant by Gartner Group in the 2005 Magic Quadrant for Programmatic Integration Servers for the third consecutive year
• Achieved PeopleSoft certification of LegaSuite to provide SOA-based integration between legacy applications and PeopleSoft enterprise applications
• Ranked 313 in Software Magazine's prestigious Software 500 List for 2004
• Achieved Microsoft's 'Designed for Windows XP® Gold' certification for our BlueZone® terminal emulator
• Successful consolidation of European development labs to reduce cost
• Addition of two new sales executives to lead the direct sales channel in the US and the UK

Plans for FY 2006

On 13 June 2005 Seagull Software announced a definitive agreement to acquire Oak Grove Systems, Inc., a privately-held software company that specializes in business process management (BPM) technology. As a result, Seagull Software will own substantially all assets of Oak Grove, including all intellectual property. In addition the Company gains over 60 new customers including SAS, Sybase, Plumtree Software, Macnica, Empolis GmbH (Bertelsmann MOHN Media Group), Intentia International and the U.S. Navy.

The addition of Oak Grove and SofTouch technologies to the LegaSuite platform make it unrivaled not only for performance, scalability and breadth but also as the only legacy integration solution that includes BPM, viewed by many industry experts as critically important to the SOA value proposition.

"In addition to dramatically improving our financial results, we have made two strategic M&A investments in our future that are being well-received by our customers and by industry analysts," said Don Addington. "We have been able to expand our technology and customer domain, yet remain debt-free. While we remain cautious about the predictability of our business, we believe that these acquisitions combined with our emphasis on building maintenance and service revenues form a good foundation for FY 2006."

Due to the uncertainty of the technology market, the Company is not providing estimates of revenue or earnings for future periods at this time.
