2006 will be between $13.5 million and $15.0 million.

$400,000 to income of $800,000, or $(0.01) to $0.02 per share. Per

shares. Non-GAAP net loss excludes amortization of intangible assets
estimated to be $800,000 and stock-based compensation expense estimated

Non-GAAP Information
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, stock-based compensation expense, and merger-related and other costs.

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.
