DORDRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS and ATLANTA – 17 February 2006 – Seagull Software

(AEX: SEAGULL), a leading provider of software products for connecting legacy applications

to Internet architectures, today announced that revenue for the nine-month period ended 31

January 2006 was $20.3 million, an increase of 16% as compared to $17.5 million for the

corresponding period in the previous financial year. On a pro forma basis net income for the

nine-month period ended 31 January 2006 was $310K, as compared with a loss of $2.8 million

for the corresponding period last year. On a pro forma basis earnings per share were $0.03,

as compared to a loss of $0.34 per share for the corresponding period last year. Cash

increased from $5.2 million at the end of Q2 FY06 to $6.1 million at the end of Q3 FY06.

“To provide a consistent basis for comparison against performance for the same period last

year, we are also providing pro forma results that exclude $182K in deferred stock

compensation costs resulting from compliance with IAS, and $563K in intangible asset

amortization costs associated with the acquisition of SofTouch in April 2005 and Oak Grove in

July 2005,” commented Mory Motabar, Seagull Software Chief Financial Officer.

On an International Accounting Standards (IAS) basis, the Company reported a net loss of

$435K for the nine-month period ended 31 January 2006; including deferred stock

compensation costs and amortization of intangible assets.

“Seagull Software has achieved continued revenue growth on both a year-over-year and

quarterly basis,” said Don Addington, Seagull Software CEO and President. “We’ve added

117 new customers to the installed base this year, not counting the customers who joined as

a result of our acquisitions. We’re pleased to report that license revenue has increased 20

percent year-over-year, which drives ongoing consulting and maintenance revenues.”

Gross margin for the nine-month period increased from $13.3 million or 76% of total revenues

to $16.4 million or 81% of total revenues.

For the nine-month period, total operating expense was $17.2 million as compared with $16.1 million in the corresponding period of the previous financial year, with most of the additional cost resulting from headcount increases associated with the SofTouch and Oak Grove acquisitions.

Quarterly Results

For the quarter ended 31 January 2006, the Company achieved revenue of $6.8 million, an

increase of 8% as compared to revenue of $6.3 million for the corresponding quarter in the

previous financial year (Q3 FY05). On a pro forma basis net loss for the quarter was $263K,

as compared to Q3 FY05 net income of $46K. On an IAS basis net loss for the quarter was

$536K, as compared to Q3 FY05 net income of $30K.

Gross margin for Q3 FY06 was $5.3 million or 79% of total revenues, as compared with gross

margin of $4.9 million or 78% of total revenues for the corresponding quarter in the previous

year.

Total operating expenses related to sales & marketing, research & development and

administrative functions were $5.9 million, as compared with $4.9 million reported for the

same period in the previous financial year. Sales & marketing expenses increased from $2.9

million to $3.4 million, reflecting headcount increases and investment in the development of

a new corporate Web site. Research & development costs increased from $1 million to $1.4

million due primarily to amortization of intellectual property and additional operating costs

associated with the SofTouch and Oak Grove acquisitions.
