Tumbleweed Validation Authority®

Tumbleweed Validation Authority® is the
worlds most widely deployed Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder. It validates the revocation status of any digital certificate in real-time, and is Identrus and Joint Interoperability Technology Center
(JITC) certified. Many banks, governments and businesses have deployed Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) to secure everything from corporate network access to multi-million dollar electronic transactions. PKI systems
depend on the use of digital certificates. Tumbleweed Validation Authority® delivers a comprehensive, scaleable framework for real-time validation of digital certificates issued by any certificate authority.

Industry Background

The use of corporate email systems, customer service applications and web services is growing as
enterprises increasingly rely on these applications to communicate with their customers and business partners. In the early days of the Internet, companies opened their networks to the Web. Hackers exploited this opening and a class of products
called network firewalls emerged to address this threat.

Today, there are new classes of vulnerabilities. One area of concern
is inbound threats such as spam, viruses, worms, directory harvest attacks, email spoofing, phishing, and denial of service attacks. A study from Osterman Research found that this so-called Dark traffic accounts for more than 80% of
the average companys inbound email traffic. This same study found that denial of service attacks alone have grown by more than 50% in the last year. This Dark traffic is part of an ongoing battle between the creators of these
threats and messaging security providers with each party attempting to thwart the other by raising the technology bar. In addition to inbound threats, there are also outbound threats, which come from an organizations own employees. For
example, it can be very easy for an employee to email confidential financial or employee information to a third party and there have been a number of cases of companies losing sensitive customer data. The problem has grown to the point that some
states, such as California, have passed legislation requiring companies to publicize data breaches.

To fully leverage the power of
communicating using the Internet and email, businesses and government organizations must first address the issues of security, centralized management, automation, legacy integration, and end-user behavior, as well as potential adoption issues. The
policies and management protocols traditionally applied to paper or voice-based processes within an organization in many cases are now being applied, appropriately, to email communications. The adoption of these policies and protocols is critical to
establish compliance with regulatory requirements and to provide enterprises the same audit trail and confidentiality protections that paper processes supply. End-users are also interested in easily accessible online services and communications from
the companies with which they do business.

With comprehensive communication security solutions, organizations can deploy policies
enterprise-wide, provide critical management of communications, and leverage the investment they have made in their existing systems in order to maximize business conducted on the Internet.

Tumbleweeds Messaging Security Solutions and Services

We offer a comprehensive family of messaging security software and appliance solutions that enable organizations to leverage the cost-efficiencies and productivity of Internet communications. Our customers deploy our
messaging security solutions in between their network and the Internet to effectively protect against inbound threats and outbound vulnerabilities. Confidential information is automatically encrypted and securely delivered to third parties using
this solution. In addition, all of our solutions are designed to integrate with existing business and email systems, requiring no significant change in existing firewall or system infrastructures. Our solutions can be used independently or in
combination to create a secure Internet

communications solution for businesses. All of our solutions offer multi-level security using industry standards, universal access, and proven scalability
for high volume message traffic.

Tumbleweed MailGate® Suite

The Tumbleweed
MailGate® Suite is a family of products for
protecting, monitoring, and filtering email for enterprises and government organizations. These best-in-breed products enable organizations to manage inbound and outbound traffic, block threats, encrypt messages and optimize network
performance.

The MailGate® Suite is unique both in its depth and breadth. Unlike competitors who rely on other vendors for encryption and anti-spam technology, Tumbleweed
has developed native, integrated components that ensure scalability and interoperability. The MailGate® family of products allows organizations to:

Protect their
network: MailGate® stops attacks (e.g.
virus, spam, worms, denial of service and directory harvest) both at the internet gateway and within the corporate network.

Comply
with regulations and policies:MailGate®
has one of the most comprehensive content filtering and intelligent routing capabilities.

Secure private information:MailGate® provides industry-leading
encryption technology, automatically securing and routing messages based on customer-defined policies and practices.

Reduce
communication costs:MailGate® eliminates
potentially costly threats (viruses, denial of service/directory harvest, spam), and ensures optimal network performance.

Tumbleweed
SecureTransport Suite

Tumbleweed SecureTransport is a comprehensive enterprise secure file transfer solution that enables the exchange of valuable and sensitive data over the Internet in a secure and
reliable manner. SecureTransport is a centrally
managed, client-server solution supporting a broad set of open standard file transfer protocols, including File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, secure FTP; HyperText Tranfer Protocol, or HTTP; Secure HTTP, or HTTPS; Secure Shell, or SSH; and
Applicability Standard #2, or AS2.

SecureTransport forms the core of many financial networks, healthcare agencies, and state, local, and federal
governments. Financial networks use SecureTransport to move billions of dollars of financial transactions daily. Healthcare providers, payers, producers, and clearing houses are linked through SecureTransport, transferring private health information. Government agencies leverage
SecureTransport to communicate and share
documents with other agencies and to replace outdated forms of data transfers such as EDI, leased lines, and un-secure FTP.

With SecureTransport, organizations can:

Consolidate disparate systems:Many organizations have developed their own file transfer applications that do not scale and are not
interoperative with other applications. Based on standards and supporting multiple protocols, SecureTransport is a cost-effective, scaleable alternative.

Automate and streamline applications:SecureTransport enables organizations to easily convert paper-based or proprietary electronic transfers to a secure, standards-based, Internet model.

Comply with policies and regulations:SecureTransport enables organizations to securely send and receive private information in conformance with industry, government, or corporate regulations.

Utilize AS2 for efficient transactions:SecureTransport enables businesses to conduct EDI and business-to-business transactions without virtual private networks, or VPNs,
additional infrastructure, or proprietary software.

Tumbleweed Validation Authority® Suite

Tumbleweed Validation Authority® is the
worlds most widely deployed OCSP responder. It validates the revocation status of any digital certificate in real time, and is Identrus and JITC certified. Many banks, governments and businesses have deployed PKI to secure everything from
corporate network access to large electronic transactions. PKI systems depend on the use of digital certificates. These virtual identifications, which are issued by independent certificate authorities, provide a way to authenticate the identity of
an individual, an organization, or a computer. However, like physical credentials used in the real world  such as passports, credit cards, and security badgesdigital certificates are sometimes found to be expired, revoked or suspended.
The integrity of an organizations PKI system is only as reliable as its ability to check the validity of a certificate the moment it is presented. Tumbleweed Validation Authority® delivers a comprehensive, scaleable framework for real-time validation of digital
certificates issued by any certificate authority.

We also offer extended customer assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for those customers requiring around-the-clock support. Pricing for such
support is in addition to our standard maintenance fees.

Professional services are performed for an additional fee and are offered in
conjunction with the licensing or deployment of our products.

Strategy

Our objective is to be the leading provider of messaging security technology products for enterprises and government organizations. Our strategy for
growth is to build on our core competency in enterprise security and:



| |  |  | Foster a culture of innovation, where every employee is customer-focused and creativity is encouraged.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Differentiate our products on ease of use and security effectiveness.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Expand our customer base in email and file transfer by solving a larger number of our customers problems in messaging security.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increase our brand awareness in messaging security including building greater mindshare amongst buyers of email and file transfer technologies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Expand our reseller channel. The customers for email and file transfer products are increasingly buying through the reseller channel. Our salesforce and channel
partners work co-operatively to expand our revenue base.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customers

We provide our customers with messaging security solutions. We are trusted by more than 2,400 enterprise and government
customers who use our products to connect with over ten thousand corporations and millions of

end-users. While our market focus has been in the financial services, healthcare, and government markets, our products are sold across all
industries. Our products are sold directly and through channel partners to enterprises and governments.

The loss of one or
more of our major customers, the failure to attract new customers on a timely basis or a reduction in usage and revenue associated with the existing or proposed customers would harm our business and prospects. For 2006, 2005, and 2004, five
customers comprised in the aggregate approximately 27%, 11%, and 12%, respectively, of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2006, one customer comprised 13% of our revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, no single customer comprised 10% or more of our revenue.

Backlog

Our backlog consists of deferred revenue as well as contractual commitments that are not due and payable as of the balance sheet date, or for which the
product or service has not yet been delivered, and/or for which collectibility is not considered probable. Our backlog excludes all items relating to consulting and training services. Backlog was $26.0 million and $23.4 million at December 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively. We believe that $20.9 million of the backlog at December 31, 2006 will be recognized as revenue in 2007 in accordance with our revenue recognition policy, with the balance to be recognized thereafter.

Sales

We maintain a direct sales force that focuses
on signing key enterprise and government customers as well as further penetrating existing accounts by selling them new or expanded applications. Our sales force consists of a total of 71 employees as of December 31, 2006. Sales offices
currently include Redwood City, California; McLean, Virginia; Hurst, United Kingdom; New York, New York; Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois; Sofia, Bulgaria; Sydney, Australia, and Singapore. Our sales force includes field sales engineers and inside sales
personnel who support the account executives. Field sales engineers assist our account executives with technical presentations, customer requirements analysis and initial solution designs. Our inside sales personnel assist the account executives in
managing their customer relationships and qualifying new accounts. Our direct sales efforts are augmented by the sales forces of our channel partners. The typical sales cycle can range from one to nine months, but may be longer for large contracts.

Marketing

Our marketing strategy is
to build awareness of Tumbleweed as the industrys leading pure play messaging security vendor. We raise awareness and increase Tumbleweed mindshare through targeted, integrated campaigns highlighting both our company and our product
offerings. We use public relations, advertising and online marketing to build general awareness. We rely upon independent labs to prove to the market our competitive superiority in security effectiveness and ease of use. We run direct marketing
campaigns and events in unison with our channel partners to generate sales opportunities for both our direct salesforce and our channel partners.

Our marketing efforts are organized around four primary areas: product management, product marketing, field marketing and corporate marketing. Product management translates customer and market requirements into product plans and works with
our engineering team to deliver high quality products. Product management also trains salespeople on product information. Product marketing identifies target markets and customer opportunities, and develops the positioning, programs and materials to
reach customers and support sales activities. Field marketing oversees demand generation programs in order to build leads for our salesforce and channel partners. Corporate marketing drives overall market awareness of Tumbleweed as a company and of
our products through analyst and investor relations, media, events, and speaking engagements. Corporate marketing is also responsible for branding, corporate identity, and our website. Both product marketing and product

management work closely with direct sales and channel sales partners to focus programs more effectively and guide product research and development.

Governmental Regulation

All of our
products are subject to U.S. export control laws and applicable foreign government import, export and/or use requirements. Minimal U.S. export restrictions apply to all products, whether or not they perform encryption functions.

The Export Administration Regulations of the U.S. Department of Commerce regulate the export of most commercial products with encryption features. Under
regulations issued by the Department of Commerce in January 2000, encryption products of any key length may be exported, after a one-time technical review, to non-governmental end-users around the world, except for embargoed countries and specific
prohibited end-users. Encryption products may be exported to governmental end-users under special Encryption Licensing Arrangements or individual export licenses that may be issued at the discretion of the Department of Commerce. In October 2000,
the Department of Commerce further revised the Export Administration Regulations to relax some reporting requirements and to remove the export licensing requirement for shipments to governmental end-users in 23 countries, including most of the
United States major trading partners. In June 2002, the Department of Commerce amended the encryption regulations again to conform them to the control lists implemented by other countries that are also members of the Wassenaar Arrangement. We
believe that we have completed the necessary technical reviews of the products and services we currently export, but new products that we acquire or develop may require technical review before we can export them. For the export of some of our
products, we are subject to various post-shipment reporting requirements.

The changes to the export regulations allow our products to be
exported more quickly and with more strength and, therefore, be more competitive with products from foreign producers. However, the export regulations may be modified at any time. In light of the ongoing discussions regarding anti-terrorism
legislation in the U.S. Congress, there may be an increased risk that export regulations may be modified in the future. Modifications to the export regulations could reduce or eliminate our ability to export some or all of our products from the U.S.
without a license in the future, which could put us at a disadvantage in competing for international sales compared to companies located outside of the U.S. that would not be subject to these restrictions.

Intellectual Property

We own 27 U.S. patents issued
by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office including 26 utility patents and one design patent. We have filed additional utility patent applications that are now pending in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and also have numerous patent applications
now pending in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, we currently have 19 registered trademarks worldwide, including the mark Tumbleweed, and are pursuing other key trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and internationally.

Competition

The markets in which we compete are
intensely competitive and rapidly changing. We believe there is no single competitor that offers the complete package of messaging security solutions that we sell. We are aware of competitors that exist for each of our product lines and for some
combined components of our solution sets.

Our principal competition for our MailGate® email security solutions are companies that offer various email content filtering and
anti-spam products. Some of the companies that sell products that compete with some of the features within our products include Clearswift Limited, IronPort Systems, Inc., Postini, Inc., Proofpoint, Inc., Secure Computing Corporation, and Zix
Corporation.

Our principal competition for our SecureTransport solutions comes from software and service providers that include Axway and Sterling Commerce (a division of AT&T
Corp).

Our principal competition for our Validation Authority solutions comes primarily from software providers including Alacris Inc., CoreStreet
Ltd., and SyTrust Technologies GmbH.

In addition to the competitors listed above, companies with which we do not presently directly
compete may become competitors in the future, either through the expansion of our products or through their product development in the area of secure online communication services.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we employed 362 people worldwide, including 153 in
engineering, 71 in sales, 81 in support and consulting services, 18 in marketing, and 39 combined in corporate management, finance, hardware operations, human resources, information technology, legal, and other administration. Our employees are not
represented by any collective bargaining organization. We have never experienced a work stoppage and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Item 1ARisk Factors

Although we have attained positive cash flow from operations, we have a history of losses and
may experience losses in the future.

Although we have attained positive cash flow from our operations, we may not be able to do so in
the future, which could harm our business. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies engaged in rapidly evolving technology markets like ours. We incurred net losses
of $4.9 million, $3.9 million, and $7.5 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, we had incurred cumulative net losses of $295.8 million.

Our success may depend in large part upon the adoption and utilization of our products and technology, as well as our ability to effectively maintain
existing relationships and develop new relationships with customers and strategic partners. If we do not succeed in doing so, we may not continue to generate cash from our operations. In particular, we intend to expend significant financial and
management resources on product development, sales and marketing, strategic relationships, technology, and operating infrastructure. As a result, we may incur additional losses for the foreseeable future and may not continue to have positive cash
flow from operations.

If we lose the services of executive officers or other key employees, our ability to develop our business and secure customer
relationships will suffer.

We are substantially dependent on the continued services and performance of our executive officers and other
key personnel and do not have long-term employment agreements with any of our key personnel. In this regard, during 2006 we appointed a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and subsequent to
December 31, 2006 we appointed a new Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations. These new appointments subject us to heightened risks as these executive officers assume their roles, work together as a team, and make changes to our
business and operations. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees, including members of our sales force, could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives.

If we have elected an ineffective strategy, or do not execute our strategy well, and in particular if we do not develop our products, marketing and
distribution channels more successfully than our competitors, our business could be harmed.

If we have elected an ineffective strategy,
or if do not execute our strategy well by optimizing our methods of producing, marketing, and selling our products, it could significantly limit our ability to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Vendors in our markets use different methods of marketing and
distribution in order to meet expected customer demand. For example, our competitors include multiple software-only vendors, appliance-only vendors, and service providers, as well as vendors that offer a combination of some or all of the foregoing.
Moreover, our competitors offerings range from single-function point products and services to more sophisticated and scalable multi-functional offerings. In addition, pricing and other terms and conditions of sales contracts also vary
considerably among our competition. Because it is difficult to predict demand in our rapidly changing markets, we may not be able to manage our product development, marketing, and sales efforts in an optimal way, which may disadvantage our business
in comparison to competitors.

Additional competitive factors in our industry include customer-driven requirements such as high quality,
additional functionality, improved product performance, ease of use, integration capacity, platform coverage, and the quality of each vendors global technical support. Some of our competitors have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing
and other resources than we do, as well as greater name recognition and a larger installed



12

##### Table of Contents

customer base. Additionally, some of these competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products
that may compete with product lines we market and distribute.

We expect that the market for messaging security products will become more
consolidated with larger companies being better positioned to compete in such an environment in the long term. As this market continues to develop, a number of companies with greater resources than ours have increased their presence in this market
and others could attempt to increase their presence in this market by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with our competitors or business partners.

Our success will depend on our ability to adapt our strategy to these competing forces, to develop and successfully launch more effective products more rapidly and less expensively than our competitors, and to educate
potential customers as to the benefits of licensing our products rather than developing their own products or licensing our competitors products. Competitors could introduce products with superior features, scalability and functionality at
lower prices than our products and could also bundle existing or new products with other more established products in order to compete with us. In addition, because there are relatively low barriers to entry for the software market, we expect
additional competition from other established and emerging companies. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business.

In particular, our success depends on our ability to grow and develop our indirect distribution channels, both in the United States and internationally,
and the inability to do so could adversely affect future operating results. Our failure to increase revenue through our indirect distribution channels could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We must increase the number of strategic and other third-party relationships with vendors of Internet-related systems and application software, resellers and systems integrators. Our existing or future channel partners may choose to devote greater
resources to marketing and supporting the products of other companies, which could have a negative impact on our company. In addition, our success depends in part on our ability to sell our appliance-based products through both direct and indirect
distribution channels. In comparison to several of our leading competitors, we have less experience in managing the product development, marketing, and sales of appliance-based products. Historically most of our revenue has been derived from
software-based products, not appliance-based products, and our business could be harmed if we do not successfully execute our plans with respect to our appliance-based products.

Economic conditions that result in a decrease in information technology spending could adversely affect our ability to maintain and increase revenue.

Our revenue and profitability or loss depends on the overall demand for our products and our services, particularly within the industries in which we
offer specific versions of our products. Because our sales are primarily to customers in the financial services, health care, and government markets, our business depends on the overall economic conditions and the economic and business conditions
within these industries. Any weakening of the global economy, the information technology industry in particular, or the weakening of the business conditions within the above industries could cause a decrease in our revenues. A softening of demand
for information technology spending caused by a continued weakening of the economy, domestically or internationally, may result in a decrease in revenues and continued losses.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may not be predictable and may result in significant volatility in our stock price.

Our revenue and our operating results have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on, among other things, the timing of the execution and termination of customer agreements in a given quarter. We have
experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in revenue and operating results from quarter to quarter for other reasons, including the timing of our target customers election to adopt and implement our products and services,
election of our customers to delay their purchase commitments or purchase in smaller



13

##### Table of Contents

amounts, and the timing of and our ability to continue to license our patents. Further, we have experienced and may continue to experience difficulty in
managing the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to our business, operations and infrastructure as well as collecting fees owed by customers. Finally, any acquisitions or divestitures we complete as well as the
announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products and services may create additional volatility in our results.

As a result of
these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that these comparisons may not be accurate indicators of future performance. Because our staffing and operating
expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, and because a high percentage of our costs are fixed, small variations in the timing of the recognition of specific revenue could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to
quarter. In addition, many of our customers delay purchases of our products until the end of each quarter. If we are unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, any significant revenue shortfall
would likely have an immediate negative effect on our operating results. Moreover, we believe the challenges and difficulties that we face, as outlined above with respect to financial forecasts, also apply to securities analysts that may publish
estimates of our financial results. Our operating results in the past have, and in future quarters may, fail to meet our expectations or those of securities analysts or our investors due to any of a wide variety of factors, including fluctuations in
financial ratios or other metrics used to measure our performance. If this occurs, we would expect to experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.

Contractual issues may arise during the negotiation of license agreements that may delay the anticipated closure of a transaction and our ability to recognize revenue as anticipated.

Because we focus on selling enterprise-wide software products to enterprises and government entities, the process of contractual negotiation is critical
and may be lengthy. Additionally, many factors may require us to defer recognition of license revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a license agreement.

Many customers negotiate software licenses near the end of each quarter. In part, this is because customers are able, or believe that they are able, to
negotiate lower prices and more favorable terms at that time. Our reliance on a large portion of software license revenue occurring at the end of the quarter and the increase in the dollar value of transactions that occur at the end of a quarter can
result in increased uncertainty relating to quarterly revenues. Due to end of period variances, forecasts may not be achieved, either because expected sales do not occur or because they occur at lower prices or on terms that are less favorable to
us.

A limited number of customers account for a high percentage of our revenue, and the failure to maintain or expand these relationships could
adversely affect our future revenue.

The loss of one or more of our major customers, the failure to attract new customers on a timely
basis, or a reduction in revenue associated with existing or proposed customers would harm our future revenue and prospects. For 2006, one customer comprised 13% of our revenue. For 2005 and 2004, respectively, no single customer comprised 10% or
more of Tumbleweed revenue. For 2006, 2005, and 2004, five customers comprised in the aggregate approximately 27%, 11%, and 12%, respectively, of our revenue.

Our appliance products may not be adopted in the market and expose us to hardware costs and supply chain issues.

Over time,
we have expanded our portfolio of products sold on appliances, which are manufactured by a third party. The inclusion of these hardware appliances in our product portfolio subjects us to additional risks, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | the inability of the manufacturer to perform in accordance with our expectations, in particular our expectations regarding the hardware appliances compliance
with any applicable regulations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability to deliver appliance products to customers in a timely manner, harming our ability to win time-sensitive customer contracts and/or recognize revenue;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product quality issues.
| | - |  | -----------------------

The
occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual
property rights or may be subject to claims of patent infringement, either of which could result in substantial costs to us.

We
currently rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and licenses, together with non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. We hold certain patent
rights with respect to some of our products. Our existing patents or trademarks, as well as any future patents or trademarks obtained by us, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or our competitors may independently develop or patent
technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. We also rely on unpatented trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary information. Although we take precautionary measures to maintain our unpatented proprietary
information, others may acquire equivalent information or otherwise gain access to or disclose our proprietary information, and we may be unable to meaningfully protect our rights to our proprietary information. As a result, our operating results
could suffer.

Third parties could assert patent or other intellectual property infringement claims against us and the cost of responding
to such assertions, regardless of their validity, could be significant. We may increasingly be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement as the number of our competitors grows and the functionality of their products and services
increasingly overlap with ours. In addition, we may infringe upon patents that may be issued to third parties in the future. It may be time consuming and costly to defend ourselves against any of these claims and we may not prevail. Furthermore,
parties making such claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could block our ability to further develop or commercialize some or all of our products in the United States and abroad. In the event of a claim of
infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from or pay royalties to third parties. We may be unable to obtain any such licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain such license could harm
our business.

The enforcement of our intellectual property rights, especially through patent infringement lawsuits we may initiate, could result in
substantial litigation costs and ultimately may not result in additional revenue to us or a favorable judicial determination.

Since
1999 we have aggressively pursued cases of potential infringement by third parties of our patents and other intellectual property rights. The enforcement process is costly and requires significant management attention. These costs are expensed
during the period incurred, and the costs of pursuing the litigation may not be directly matched with the related patent license agreement revenue, if any. In addition, our enforcement of our rights may increase the risk of adverse claims, with or
without merit, which could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert managements attention and our resources, limit the use of our services, or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. In addition, such
counter-claims asserted by these third parties may be found to be valid and could result in an injunction or damages against us. Our ability to prevail in this litigation is inherently uncertain, and if we were subject to an adverse judicial
determination, our ability to protect our products and to secure related licensing or settlement revenue could be lost.

Failure to license necessary third party software incorporated in our products could cause delays or reductions in our
sales.

We license third party software that we incorporate into our products. These licenses may not continue to be available on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Some of this technology would be difficult to replace. The loss of any such license could result in delays or reductions of our applications until we identify, license and integrate or develop equivalent
software. If we are required to enter into license agreements with third parties for replacement technology, we could face higher royalty payments and our products may lose certain attributes or features. In the future, we might need to license
other software to enhance our products and meet evolving customer needs. If we are unable to do this, we could experience reduced demand for our products.

Our international business exposes us to additional risks that may result in future additional costs or limit the market for product sales.

Products and services provided to our international customers accounted for 7%, 10%, and 11% of our revenues for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Conducting business outside of the United States subjects us to
additional risks, including:



| |  |  | changes in regulatory requirements and any resulting costs of compliance, for example, the introduction by the European Union of its Restrictions on Hazardous
Substances;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduced protection of intellectual property rights; evolving privacy laws; tariffs and other trade barriers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased income tax expenses;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | problems in collecting accounts receivable; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in authenticating customer information.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

Managing these risks may subject us to additional costs that may not be justified in light of the market opportunity, and the inability to comply with or manage foreign laws and related risks may preclude or limit
sales in foreign jurisdictions.

We rely on public key cryptography and other security techniques that could be breached, resulting in reduced demand
for our products and services.

A requirement for the continued growth of electronic commerce is the secure transmission of confidential
information over public networks. We rely on public key cryptography, an encryption method that utilizes two keys, a public and a private key, for encoding and decoding data, and on digital certificate technology, to provide the security and
authentication necessary for secure transmission of confidential information. Regulatory and export restrictions may prohibit us from using the strongest and most secure cryptographic protection available, and thereby may expose us or our customers
to a risk of data interception. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or interrupt our or our customers operations. Any compromise or elimination of our security could result in
risk of loss or litigation and possible liability and reduce demand for our products and services.

Our stock price could be adversely affected if we
are unable to continue to favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified report on our assessment.

In the future, we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any changes necessary to make a favorable assessment of our
internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, in connection with the attestation process by our independent registered public accounting firm, we may encounter

##### Table of Contents

future problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving a favorable attestation. If we cannot favorably assess
the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investor confidence and our stock price could be adversely affected.

The terms of
any financing we may obtain could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders.

In the future, we may be required or elect
to seek additional financing to fund our operations. Factors such as the commercial success of our existing products and services, the timing and success of any new products and services, the progress of our research and development efforts, our
results of operations, the status of competitive products and services, and the timing and success of potential strategic alliances or potential opportunities to acquire or sell technologies or assets may require us to seek additional funding sooner
than we expect. In the event that we require additional cash, we may not be able to secure additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, especially in light of uncertainty in the current market environment, and we may not be successful in
implementing or negotiating such other arrangements to improve our cash position. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced and the securities we
issue might have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. If adequate funds were not available on acceptable terms or at all, our ability to sustain positive cash flows, maintain current operations, fund any
potential expansion, take advantage of new opportunities, develop or enhance products or services, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly limited.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could discourage or prevent an acquisition of us, which could depress our stock price.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, may discourage or prevent an acquisition or
disposition of our business. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may inhibit changes of control that are not approved by our Board of Directors. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of our common stock. In particular, our certificate of incorporation includes provisions for a classified Board of Directors and prohibits stockholder action by written consent. Further, our bylaws contain provisions requiring advance notice
for nomination of directors and stockholders proposals. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, this law prevents a person who becomes the owner of 15% or
more of the corporations outstanding voting stock from engaging in specified business combinations for three years unless specified conditions are satisfied. In addition, our certificate of incorporation allows our Board of Directors to issue
preferred stock without further stockholder approval. The issuance of preferred stock also could effectively limit the voting power of the holders of our common stock. This could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control.

We are a defendant in a purported securities class action lawsuit that could divert management attention and resources or eventually expose us
to liability.

In December 2001, certain plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Valicert, alleging violations of federal securities laws. In re Valicert, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01-CV-10889 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related
to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). In June 2003, Valicert accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants in this case. Under the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs will dismiss
and release all claims against the Valicert Defendants (Valicert, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer) in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the
issuers in all the consolidated cases, and the assignment or surrender of control to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers will be required to pay the amount, if
any, by which $1 billion exceeds the aggregate amount ultimately collected by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all of the

cases. If the plaintiffs fail to recover $1 billion and payment is required under the guaranty, Valicert would be responsible to pay its pro rata portion of
the shortfall, up to the amount of the deductible retention under its insurance policy, which is $500,000. The timing and amount of payments that Valicert could be required to make under the proposed settlement will depend on several factors,
principally the timing and amount of any payment required by the insurers pursuant to the $1 billion guaranty. The proposed settlement is subject to approval of the Court, which cannot be assured. In April 2006, the Court held a hearing on the
proposed settlement but has not yet issued a ruling on the issue. Failure of the Court to approve the settlement followed by an adverse outcome could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm
future operating results. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

Item 1BUnresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2Properties

We have an operating lease covering approximately 40,000 square feet of office
space in Redwood City, California. The lease expires in July 2008 with current monthly rent payments of approximately $77,000.

We also
maintain sales offices in Hurst, United Kingdom with a lease term expiring in 2008; McLean, Virginia with a lease term expiring in 2007; New York, New York with a lease term expiring in 2007; Singapore with a lease term expiring in 2007; Oakbrook
Terrace, Illinois with a lease term expiring in 2007; and Sydney, Australia with a lease term expiring in 2007. Other offices we maintain include Palo Alto, California, Pfaffikon, Switzerland, and Sofia, Bulgaria. The Palo Alto, Pfaffikon, and Sofia
leases all have terms expiring in 2007. The Palo Alto lease was subleased in December 2004 for the remainder of the lease term with sublease rental income less than our rent payments due to a weak office rental market in and around Palo Alto.

Other than our office space in Redwood City, California, and Sofia, Bulgaria, none of our offices individually exceed 12,000 square feet
in size. Other than the facility space that we have subleased as described above and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we are currently utilizing all of our leased facility
space. We believe our current facilities will be adequate to meet our needs for the foreseeable future.

Item 3Legal Proceedings

In December 2001, certain plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Valicert, alleging violations of federal securities laws. In re Valicert, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation,
No. 01-CV-10889 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). The operative amended complaint is brought on purported behalf of all persons who purchased Valicert common stock
from the date of its July 27, 2000 initial public offering (IPO) through December 6, 2000. It names as defendants Valicert, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer (the Valicert
Defendants), as well as an investment banking firm that served as an underwriter for the IPO. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the IPO did not disclose that: (1) the underwriter agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the IPO in exchange for excess commissions to be paid to the underwriter; and
(2) the underwriter arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The complaint also appears to allege that false or misleading analyst reports were issued. The complaint does not claim
any specific amount of damages. Similar allegations have been made in lawsuits relating to more than 300 other initial public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes. In February 2003, the
Court issued a ruling on all defendants motions to

##### Table of Contents

dismiss, denying Valicerts motion to dismiss the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, but granting Valicerts motion to dismiss the claims
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In June 2003, Valicert accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants in
this case. Under the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Valicert Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers
in all the consolidated cases, and the assignment or surrender of control to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers will be required to pay the amount, if any, by
which $1 billion exceeds the aggregate amount ultimately collected by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all of the cases. If the plaintiffs fail to recover $1 billion and payment is required under the guaranty, Valicert would be
responsible to pay its pro rata portion of the shortfall, up to the amount of the deductible retention under its insurance policy, which is $500,000. The timing and amount of payments that Valicert could be required to make under the proposed
settlement will depend on several factors, principally the timing and amount of any payment required by the insurers pursuant to the $1 billion guaranty. The proposed settlement is subject to approval of the Court, which cannot be assured. In April
2006, the Court held a hearing on the proposed settlement but has not yet issued a ruling on the issue. Failure of the Court to approve the settlement followed by an adverse outcome could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs
in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

In June 2003, we were served with a summons and first amended complaint, captioned Liu v. Credit Suisse First Boston, et alia, alleging the
violation of federal and state securities laws, purportedly on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock of (other than purchasers of our IPO) from August 6, 1999 to October 18, 2000. The case was transferred to the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, where in March 2005, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice. In June 2005 plaintiffs filed an appeal of the dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which
remains pending. An adverse outcome in this case could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a
reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

All costs incurred as a result of these legal
proceedings and claims are charged to expense as incurred.

We indemnify our customers from third party claims of intellectual property
infringement relating to the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these guarantees have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the potential impact of these guarantees on our future results of operations.

Item 4Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of our
shareholders during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Item 7Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates
and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and at Part I,
Item 1A, Risk Factors to this Annual Report.

Overview

Tumbleweed Communications Corp. (Tumbleweed or we) is a recognized expert in providing messaging security solutions for enterprise
and government customers of all sizes. We provide one of the most comprehensive solutions for both inbound/outbound email and file transfer needs. With our products, organizations can block security threats, protect information, confidently conduct
business online, and reduce their cost of doing business. We provide comprehensive solutions for inbound and outbound email protection, secure file transfer and routing, and identity validation that allow organizations to safely and
confidently conduct business over the Internet. We offer these solutions in three comprehensive product suites: MailGate®, SecureTransport, and Validation Authority. MailGate® provides protection against spam, viruses, and attacks, and enables policy-based message filtering, encryption, and
routing. SecureTransport enables customers to safely exchange large files and transactions without having to change their internal infrastructure. Validation Authority is a world-leading solution for determining the validity of digital
certificates.

We are trusted by approximately 2,400 enterprise and government customers who use our products to connect with over ten
thousand corporations and millions of end-users. While our solutions apply to all industry sectors, our traditional market focus has been in the financial services, healthcare, and government markets. Security-conscious organizations use our
products to block security threats, protect information assets, and enable the safe exchange of messages, files, and transactions.

Revenue
during 2006 grew 24% relative to 2005 and deferred revenue improved 8% as of December 31, 2006 compared to the deferred revenue as of December 31, 2005. Our growth in revenue in 2006 from 2005 and growth in deferred revenue as of
December 31, 2006 compared to the balance as of December 31, 2005 were primarily driven by an increased volume of contracts with customers along with revenue growth in the financial services and government industries.

Outlook

We believe that our success in 2007 will
depend on our ability to increase customer adoption of our products; our ability to successfully expand our sales internationally and through distribution by third party partners; our ability to further implement the processes related to selling
hardware appliance products, such as supply chain effectiveness; and our ability to maintain control over expenses and cash. We believe that key risks include overall economic conditions and the overall level of information technology spending;
economic and business conditions within our target customer sectors in the financial services, healthcare, and government industries; timing of the closure of customer contracts; growing our sales internationally; and competitive factors in our
rapidly changing industry. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in rapidly evolving markets, have completed
several acquisitions and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties. Please refer to the Risk Factors section for additional information.

Revenue. Revenue, which consists of product revenue, service revenue and intellectual property revenue, results from new contracts and
backlog. We define backlog as deferred revenue, contractual commitments that are not due and payable as of the balance sheet date, or for which collectibility is not considered probable, and/or for which the product or service has not yet been
delivered. Product revenue consists of license fees,

subscription-based license fees, and transaction-based license fees. Service revenue includes support and maintenance fees, consulting fees, and training
fees. Intellectual property revenue consists of patent license agreement fees. Total revenue increased to $62.0 million in 2006 from $50.0 million in 2005. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in product
revenue, a $3.6 million increase in support and maintenance revenue, and a $694,000 increase in patent license revenue.

Product revenue
increased to $28.7 million in 2006 from $20.9 million in 2005. The increase in product revenue was due to an increase in license revenue of $8.2 million, partially offset by decreases in subscription-based license revenue and transaction-based
license revenue of $363,000 and $97,000, respectively. The increase in license revenue was primarily due to an increased volume of contracts with customers along with revenue growth in the financial services and government industries. The decreases
in subscription-based license revenue and transaction-based license revenue were due to our continued transition away from those selling models and towards selling perpetual licenses with associated support and maintenance contracts.

Service revenue increased to $29.7 million in 2006 from $26.1 million in 2005. The increase in service revenue was primarily due to a $3.6 million
increase in support and maintenance revenue. The increase in support and maintenance revenue was due to revenue growth in our installed customer base, an increase in sales of our anti-spam service which is sold on a subscription fee basis, and an
expansion of our customer base.

Intellectual property revenue increased to $3.6 million in 2006 from $3.0 million in 2005. The increase in
intellectual property revenue was due to an increase in patent license revenue.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue is comprised
of product costs, provision for excess inventory, service costs, and the amortization of intangible assets for core/developed technology and maintenance agreements relating to the acquisitions of Valicert, Incubator Limited (now named Tumbleweed
Communications Limited), and Corvigo, Inc. (Corvigo). Product costs are primarily comprised of royalties paid to third parties for software licensed by us for inclusion in our products, the cost of our products sold on appliances
including related shipping and warranty costs, and employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense in accordance with our adoption of SFAS 123R during 2006. Provision for excess inventory is comprised of costs
associated with excess inventory and purchase commitments resulting from our transitions to new appliance manufacturers. Service costs are comprised primarily of employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for
customer support, consulting and training, and contract development projects with third parties. Total cost of revenue increased to $13.5 million in 2006 (or 22% of total 2006 revenue) from $10.4 million in 2005 (or 21% of total 2005 revenue),
primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in product costs, a $1.3 million increase in service costs, and a $610,000 increase in provision for excess inventory, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets of $573,000.

Cost of product revenue increased to $4.3 million in 2006 (or 7% of total 2006 revenue) from $2.6 million in 2005 (or 5% of total 2005
revenue) due primarily to an increase in appliance costs and royalty costs. Appliance costs increased by $709,000 during 2006 due to an increase in the number of appliance products shipped, resulting from higher sales of our products sold on
appliances. Royalties paid to third parties for software licensed by us for inclusion in our products increased by $889,000 during 2006, due to an increase in our product revenues and the addition of new software licenses from third parties included
in our products. We expect cost of product revenue to increase during 2007 due to an expected increase in the number of appliance products to be shipped.

Provision for excess inventory of $933,000 in 2006 (or 2% of total 2006 revenue) is the estimated loss for excess inventory and purchase commitments associated with transitioning our hardware products to a new
appliance manufacturer and from a proprietary design to a standard product offering. Provision for excess inventory of $323,000 in 2005 (or 1% of total 2005 revenue) is the expense incurred for obsolete inventory associated with our transition to a
new appliance manufacturer.

Cost of service revenue increased to $6.8 million in 2006 (or 11% of total 2006 revenue) from $5.4
million in 2005 (or 11% of total 2005 revenue), primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, an increase in consulting costs, an increase in travel expenses, and an increase in
allocated overhead charges. Employee and employee-related costs increased by $632,000 during 2006 due to an increase in average services headcount and a $140,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense due to our adoption of SFAS 123R during
2006. Average services headcount increased to 65 employees in 2006 from 48 employees in 2005 primarily due to transitioning from a partial utilization of third parties in our support function towards a full employee-based support model and due to
the need for greater personnel resources to fulfill our customer service requirements due to our increased service revenues. Consulting costs increased by $168,000 during 2006 due to a greater utilization of third parties to assist with providing
service to our customers. Travel expenses increased by $211,000 during 2006 due to increased travel related to customer projects. Allocated overhead charges increased by $189,000 during 2006 due to an increase in our allocable cost base caused by
higher information technology costs including an upgrade to our computer network infrastructure performed during 2006. We expect cost of service revenue to increase during 2007 due to an anticipated increase in employee and employee-related costs
driven by increased headcount required to meet our customer requirements.

Amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenue
decreased to $1.5 million in 2006 (or 2% of total 2006 revenue) from $2.0 million in 2005 (or 4% of total 2005 revenue) due to the amortization in full during the three months ended June 30, 2006 of the intangible assets for core/developed
technology and maintenance agreements acquired during the acquisition of Valicert.

Research and Development Expenses. Research
and development expenses are primarily comprised of employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and other costs required for the development and quality assurance of our products. Research and development
expenses increased to $14.8 million in 2006 (or 24% of total 2006 revenue) from $12.1 million in 2005 (or 24% of total 2005 revenue), primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in employee and employee-related costs. Employee and employee-related
costs increased primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million resulting from our adoption of SFAS 123R during 2006 as well as salary increases and growth in average research and development headcount. Average
research and development headcount increased to 155 in 2006 from 149 in 2005 driven by our efforts to broaden and upgrade our products. We expect research and development expenses to increase during 2007 due to our continuous efforts to broaden and
upgrade our products.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses are primarily comprised of employee and
employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, travel expenses, and costs associated with marketing programs. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $28.0 million in 2006 (or 45% of total 2006 revenue) from $25.2 million in
2005 (or 50% of total 2005 revenue) primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in employee and employee-related costs. Employee and employee-related costs increased due to an increase in commissions of $1.0 million, an increase in stock-based
compensation expenses of $401,000 resulting from our adoption of SFAS 123R during 2006, salary increases, growth in average sales and marketing headcount, and expenses related to changes in sales and marketing management. Commissions increased as a
result of increased sales in 2006. Average sales and marketing headcount increased to 89 in 2006 from 84 in 2005 due to our efforts to expand our capabilities in this area. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase during 2007 due to an
anticipated increase in headcount to further expand our sales presence and an anticipated increase in marketing programs.

General and
Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for our administrative, finance, legal, and human resources departments as
well as public reporting costs, and professional fees including intellectual property enforcement and protection costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $10.6 million in 2006 (or 17% of total 2006 revenue) from $6.0 million in 2005
(or 12% of total 2005 revenue). The

##### Table of Contents

increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs, legal expenses, and consulting costs.
Employee and employee-related costs increased by $4.0 million during 2006. Employee and employee-related costs increased due to an increase in stock-based compensation expenses of $2.5 million during 2006, due to our adoption of SFAS 123R, as well
as an increase in salary expenses due to growth in average general and administrative headcount and salary increases. Average general and administrative headcount increased to 38 in 2006 from 23 in 2005, largely due to a realignment of resources
into our general and administrative function from other functions during 2006. Legal expenses increased by $357,000 during 2006 due to various legal matters. Consulting costs increased by $216,000 during 2006 due to a greater utilization of third
parties to assist us with projects associated with our growth as a company. We expect general and administrative expenses to stay relatively flat during 2007.

Amortization of intangible assets.Amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses consists of the amortization of intangible assets for customer base and reseller agreements and trademarks and
tradenames recorded as a result of the Valicert, Incubator Limited, and Corvigo acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses decreased to $1.0 million in 2006 (or 2% of total 2006 revenue) from $1.3 million in 2005
(or 3% of total 2005 revenue). The decrease in the amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses was due to the amortization in full during the three months ended June 30, 2006 of the customer base and reseller agreements
acquired during the Valicert acquisition.

Merger-related and other costs. There were no merger-related and other costs in
2006. Merger-related and other costs of a net credit of $96,000 for 2005 consist of a $296,000 credit related to the termination of an operating lease in Slough, United Kingdom and a $200,000 severance cost associated with the resignation of our
former Chief Executive Officer. The combined cost of the final lease settlement payments, commissions, brokerage fees, and legal fees related to the termination of the Slough lease was less than the existing accrual for the loss on the lease,
resulting in the expense credit.

Other income, net. Other income, net, is generally comprised of interest income earned on
investment securities. Other income, net, increased to $1.2 million in 2006 from $982,000 in 2005. The increase in other income, net, was primarily due to increase in interest income driven by an increase in interest rates and a larger cash balance.

Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

Revenue. Total revenue increased to $50.0 million in 2005 from $43.4 million in 2004. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in product revenue, a $4.2 million increase in support and
maintenance revenue, and a $1.1 million increase in patent license revenue.

Product revenue increased to $20.9 million in 2005 from $19.6
million in 2004. The increase in product revenue was due to an increase in license revenue of $1.8 million, partially offset by decreases in subscription-based license revenue and transaction-based license revenue of $290,000 and $182,000,
respectively. The increase in license revenue was primarily due to an increased volume of license contracts resulting from an increase in new customers as well as an increase in contracts with existing customers. The decreases in subscription-based
license revenue and transaction-based license revenue were due to our continued transition away from those selling models and towards selling perpetual licenses with associated support and maintenance contracts.

Service revenue increased to $26.1 million in 2005 from $21.9 million in 2004. The increase in service revenue was primarily due to a $3.5 million
increase in support and maintenance revenue and a $493,000 increase in consulting revenue. The increase in support and maintenance revenue was due to revenue growth in our installed customer base, an increase in sales of our anti-spam service, which
is sold on a subscription fee basis, and an expansion of our customer base. The increase in consulting revenue was due to increased consulting

opportunities due to the expansion of our customer base and repeat business with existing customers for development projects.

Intellectual property revenue increased to $3.0 million in 2005 from $1.9 million in 2004. The increase in intellectual property revenue was due to an
increase in patent license revenue.

Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue increased to $10.4 million in 2005 from $7.9
million in 2004, primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in service costs, a $627,000 increase in product costs, and a $323,000 provision for excess inventory.

Cost of product revenue increased to $2.6 million in 2005 from $2.0 million in 2004 primarily due to an increase in royalty costs. Royalty costs increased by $583,000 during 2005 primarily due to the addition of new
software licenses from third parties included in our products. Provision for excess inventory of $323,000 was the expense incurred for obsolete inventory associated with our transition to a new appliance manufacturer.

Cost of service revenue increased to $5.4 million in 2005 from $4.1 million in 2004, primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs.
Employee and employee-related costs increased by $1.1 million during 2005 due to an increase in average services headcount to 48 employees in 2005 from 39 employees in 2004. The increase in average services headcount was primarily due to the need
for greater personnel resources to fulfill the requirements relating to our increased service revenues.

Amortization of intangible assets
included in cost of revenue increased to $2.0 million in 2005 from $1.8 million in 2004 due to the acquisitions of Corvigo and Incubator Limited in March of 2004 since there was a full twelve months of amortization during 2005 compared to less than
ten full months of amortization recognized during 2004.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased to $11.9 million in 2005 from $11.6 million in 2004, primarily due to an $861,000 increase in employee and employee-related costs, partially offset by a $716,000 decrease in allocated overhead charges. Employee and employee-related costs
increased primarily due to salary increases and growth in average engineering headcount to 149 employees in 2005 from 135 employees in 2004. The increase in average engineering headcount was driven by our efforts to broaden and upgrade our products.
Allocated overhead charges decreased due to a decrease in our allocable cost base caused by lower information technology and facility costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $25.0 million in 2005 from $23.1 million in 2004 primarily due to a $785,000 increase in employee and employee-related costs, a $417,000 increase in
marketing programs, and a $123,000 increase in consulting costs. In addition, sales and marketing expenses increased due to new expenses of $295,000 associated with the expansion of our sales team in Asia Pacific during the second half of 2005.
Employee and employee-related costs increased due to increased commissions as a result of increased sales in 2005. Consulting costs increased due to the increased usage of third parties to assist our sales and marketing employees. Marketing programs
increased due to an increase in marketing initiatives targeted at growing our revenues.

General and Administrative
Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.9 million in 2005 from $5.3 million in 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $247,000 increase in recruiting expenses, a $161,000
increase in commissions, and a $74,000 increase in expensed equipment and software. Recruiting expenses increased due to the utilization of third parties to assist in our hiring processes, including the recruitment of our former Chief Executive
Officer, with little comparable expenses for 2004. Commissions increased due to an increase in patent license revenue for 2005. Expensed equipment and software increased due to a higher usage driven by an increased number of employees.

Stock-based compensation expense.Stock-based compensation expense for 2005 and 2004 consists of the amortization of deferred stock-based
compensation recorded as a result of stock option grants to non-employees,

##### Table of Contents

unvested options assumed in the Valicert and Corvigo acquisitions, options granted to employees at exercise prices less than the fair value of the underlying
stock on the grant date, continued vesting of stock options for a former employee after the end of their service period, and the vesting acceleration of certain employees stock options, net of credits related to stock options granted to
employees who were later terminated before the options vested. Stock-based compensation expense decreased to $510,000 in 2005 from $640,000 in 2004. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was primarily due to reductions in the amortization
of stock-based compensation resulting from unvested options assumed in the Valicert and Corvigo acquisitions.

Amortization of
intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses decreased to $1.3 million in 2005 from $1.5 million in 2004. The decrease in the amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses was due to the
amortization in full during 2004 of the acquired workforce asset, partially offset by a full twelve months of amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of Incubator Limited and Corvigo, during 2005, compared to less than ten
full months of amortization recognized during 2004.

Merger-related and other costs. Merger-related and other costs of a net
credit of $96,000 for 2005 consist of a $296,000 credit related to the termination of an operating lease in Slough, United Kingdom and a $200,000 severance cost associated with the resignation of our former Chief Executive Officer. The combined cost
of the final lease settlement payments, commissions, brokerage fees, and legal fees related to the termination of the Slough lease was less than the existing accrual for the loss on the lease, resulting in the expense credit.

Merger-related and other costs of $1.1 million for 2004 consist of $703,000 of severance costs for Tumbleweed employees terminated in connection with the
Corvigo acquisition and the sale of our former development center subsidiary in India to a third party, $183,000 related to anticipated losses on an operating lease in Palo Alto, California, $168,000 related to anticipated losses on an operating
lease in Slough, United Kingdom, a credit of $44,000 for a gain on the sale of our former development center subsidiary in India, and $68,000 of other merger-related costs. The operating lease in Palo Alto was assumed during the acquisition of
Corvigo and covers approximately 12,000 square feet of office space. Subsequent to the acquisition of Corvigo, we decided to vacate the Palo Alto facility. The lease is for a term ending in 2007 with current monthly rent payments of approximately
$22,000. The $183,000 charge was recorded due to a revised estimate of the period required to locate and contract with a sublessee and reduced sublease rates. As a result of the new estimate, the existing accrual for the loss on the lease was found
to be insufficient and an additional liability was recorded. This office space was subleased in December 2004 for the remainder of the lease term with sublease rental income less than our rent payments due to a weak office rental market in and
around Palo Alto. The operating lease in Slough was assumed during the acquisition of Interface, Inc. in 2000 and covered approximately 13,000 square feet of office space. The lease was for a term ending in 2020 with quarterly rent payments of
approximately $65,000. The $168,000 charge was recorded due to a revised estimate of the term of expected subleases on the building. Our former development center subsidiary in India was acquired in the acquisition of Valicert and supported our
engineering, customer support, and consulting functions. This subsidiary was sold to consolidate our offshore development in our existing Bulgaria location.

Other income, net. Other income, net, increased to $982,000 in 2005 from $213,000 in 2004. The increase in other income, net was partially due to an increase in interest income of $385,000 in 2005 as a result
of an increase in interest rates and a larger cash balance. In addition, during 2005, income of $204,000 was recorded for the refund of previously paid value added tax related to a Valicert subsidiary. No comparable income occurred during 2004.
Finally, other income increased by $138,000 due to an increase in amounts collected from current and former employees of acquired companies that were previously deemed uncollectible.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through
the issuance of equity securities. As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $30.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

##### Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2006 was $4.1 million, which was primarily the result of our
net loss of $4.9 million, offset by non-cash charges of $4.6 million for stock-based compensation expense and $3.6 million for depreciation and amortization expenses. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities to $4.1 million in 2006
from $4.7 million in 2005 was primarily due to an increase in our accounts receivable balance due to a large amount of contracts entered into with customers late in 2006 that were not collected as of December 31, 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $1.9 million in 2006 from $955,000 in 2005. Net cash used in investing activities for both 2006 and
2005 was comprised of purchases of property and equipment. Purchases of property and equipment for 2006 increased as compared to 2005 due to an upgrade to our computer network infrastructure performed during 2006.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million in 2006 and $1.7 million in 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2006 was
primarily comprised of proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercises of stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 was comprised of $2.2 million from the proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a
result of the exercises of stock options, partially offset by $467,000 related to the full repayment of outstanding debt originally assumed in the acquisition of Valicert. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities in 2006 relative to
2005 was primarily due to a $779,000 decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock in 2006 due to a decrease in stock option exercises, partially offset by a $467,000 reduction in repayments of borrowings.

As of December 31, 2006, our principal commitments consisted of obligations related to outstanding operating leases and unconditional purchase
obligations. We do not anticipate a substantial increase in operating lease obligations in the immediate future.

In the acquisition of
Valicert, we assumed debt of $855,000 resulting from equipment leases with two financing companies. During 2003, this debt was refinanced with an $800,000 loan with a bank. This debt was repaid in full during 2005.

We have an operating lease covering approximately 40,000 square feet of office space in Redwood City, California. The lease expires in July 2008 with
current monthly rent payments of approximately $77,000.

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including revenue generated
from operations and market acceptance of our products and services, and the resources devoted to the development of our products and services and to sales and marketing and other operating activities. We believe that our existing capital resources
should enable us to maintain our current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months. Our current cash reserves, however, may be insufficient if we experience either lower than expected revenues or extraordinary or unexpected cash
expenses, or for other reasons. Funding, if pursued, may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail significantly or defer one or more of our operating goals or programs, or
take other steps that could harm our business or future operating results. We will continue to consider future financing alternatives, which may include the incurrence of debt, additional public or private equity offerings or an equity investment by
a strategic partner; however, we have no present commitments or arrangements assuring us of any future equity or debt financing.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

At December 31, 2006, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such
as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and requires a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions and determine if they should be recognized in the
financial statements. The two-step approach involves recognizing any tax positions that are more likely than not to occur and then measuring those positions to determine if they are recognizable in the financial statements. The
interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a
materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of our 2006 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings during the year of adoption for errors that were not previously deemed
material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108.

We adopted SAB 108 effective as of January 1, 2006. Although we
believe our prior period assessments of uncorrected differences and the conclusions reached regarding its quantitative and qualitative assessments of such uncorrected differences were appropriate, due to the analysis required in SAB 108,
certain historical uncorrected differences related to the application of cash receipts and the elimination of a minority interest related to a former subsidiary were corrected as a cumulative effect net adjustment to increase the opening accumulated
deficit balance as of the date of adoption by $227,000.

Prior to 2004, we incorrectly recorded certain cash receipts as a liability and
these amounts were included on the balance sheet in the Accrued liabilities line item. This error has previously been considered immaterial, but due to the analysis required upon our adoption of SAB 108, these balances were eliminated by decreasing
accrued liabilities by $397,000, resulting in a decrease in retained deficit.

Our former subsidiary in Japan, Tumbleweed Communications KK
(TKK), was majority-owned by us with a minority interest in TKK owned by a third party. When reporting the results of TKK in our consolidated statement of operations, the minority interest in TKKs results was eliminated during
consolidation with a partially offsetting amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the line item Accumulated other comprehensive income. During 2002, as a result of poor operating results, TKK was liquidated and we recorded a loss on the
write-off of TKK. However, $624,000 relating to the cumulative minority interest was not eliminated when TKK was liquidated and the loss recorded. Upon our adoption of SAB 108, we eliminated

$624,000 related to the minority interest, resulting in an increase to our retained deficit and a reduction in the Other comprehensive loss line item on the
consolidated balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments in determining the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, customer arrangements, collectibility of accounts receivable,
valuation of assets, and contingencies and litigation. When making estimates, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that the following critical
accounting policies represent areas where significant judgments and estimates have been used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from three sources: (i) product revenue, which includes license fees for
products sold as software or on appliances, subscription-based license fees, and transaction-based license fees; (ii) service revenue, which consists of support and maintenance fees, consulting fees, and training fees; and
(iii) intellectual property revenue which includes patent license agreement fees. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period.
Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period based on the judgments and estimates made by our management.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions (SOP 98-9). We make significant judgments related to revenue recognition. Specifically, as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2 in connection with each transaction involving
our products, we must evaluate whether: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is probable. We apply these criteria as
discussed below.



| |  |  | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.We require a written contract, signed by both the customer and us, or a purchase order from those customers
that have previously negotiated a standard license arrangement or volume purchase agreement with us prior to recognizing revenue on an arrangement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Delivery has occurred.We deliver software to our customers physically or electronically. For physical deliveries, our standard transfer terms are typically
free on board, or FOB, shipping point. For electronic deliveries, delivery occurs when we provide the customer access codes or keys that allow the customer to take immediate possession of the software.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The fee is fixed or determinable.Our determination that an arrangement fee is fixed or determinable depends principally on the arrangements payment
terms. Our standard payment terms require the arrangement fee to be due within a maximum of 90 days. Where these terms apply, we regard the fee as fixed or determinable, and we recognize revenue upon delivery (assuming all other revenue recognition
criteria are met). If the payment terms do not meet this standard, which we refer to as extended payment terms, we do not consider the fee to be fixed or determinable and generally recognize revenue when customer installments are due and
payable.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Collectibility is probable. To recognize revenue, we must judge collectibility of the arrangement fees, which we do on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant
to our credit review policy. We typically sell to
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | customers with whom we have a history of successful collection. For new customers, we evaluate the customers financial position and ability to pay. If
we determined that collectibility is not probable based upon our credit review process or the customers payment history, we recognize revenue when payment is received.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We allocate revenue on software transactions, (referred to as arrangements in the accounting literature), involving multiple elements to each
undelivered element based on their respective fair values. Specifically, in a multi-element arrangement we allocate revenue first to undelivered elements such as support and maintenance, consulting services, and training based on each elements
fair value and the residual is allocated to the product license as product revenue. The fair value of support and maintenance fees is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the maintenance, which is typically one year. The fair value
of services not considered essential to the functionality of the product or technology delivered is initially deferred and recognized into revenue as the services are performed. Our determination of the fair value of each element in multiple
element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). We limit our assessment of the VSOE of fair value for each element to the price charged when that element is sold separately.

Arrangements that include consulting services are evaluated to determine whether those services are essential to the functionality of the other elements
of the arrangement. When services are not considered essential, the revenue allocable to the services is recognized separately from the software, provided VSOE of the fair value of these services exists. If we provide consulting services that are
considered essential to the functionality of the software products, both the product revenue and service revenue are recognized under contract accounting in accordance with the provisions of SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized under the percentage of completion method based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to total projected labor hours except in
limited circumstances where completion status cannot be reasonably estimated, in which case the completed contract method is used.

Our
software products are typically fully functional upon delivery and do not require significant modification or alteration. For arrangements where services are not essential to the functionality of the software, customers typically purchase consulting
services to facilitate the adoption of our technology, but they may also decide to use their own resources or appoint other professional service organizations to perform these services. Software products and related support and maintenance services
may be billed separately and independently from professional services, which are typically billed on either a time-and-materials basis or a fixed fee basis. For time-and-materials contracts, we recognize revenue as the services are performed. For
fixed fee engagements with milestones or acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized upon completion of a milestone or acceptance, if applicable.

We recognize revenue from patent license agreements when (i) the patent license agreement is executed, (ii) the amounts due are fixed, determinable, and billable, and (iii) collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

We recognize revenue from indirect channels such as resellers using the same criteria as is used for arrangements obtained through our
direct sales team.

We typically grant our customers a warranty which guarantees that our products will substantially conform to our
current specifications for 90 days from the delivery date. We account for the estimated cost of product and service warranties in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, based on specific warranty claims received, provided that it is
probable that a liability exists, and provided the cost to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim can be reasonably estimated. The amount of the reserve recorded is equal to the costs to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim. Costs related to
warranty claims were $278,000, $0, and $0 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Under
this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). We recognize stock-based compensation expense for the unvested portion of stock-based compensation awards granted
prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006 on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual award consistent with our methodology prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and consistent with the method described in Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006
is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and compensation cost for these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the
option vesting term. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, we recognize stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognize the compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite
service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience during the preceding term that equals the expected life of the options. The expected life of the options is
based on the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. Our expected volatility is based on the daily historical volatility of
our common stock, over the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term to the expected life of the option. Where the expected
term of our stock-based awards does not correspond with the terms for which interest rates are quoted, we perform a straight-line interpolation to determine the rate from the available term maturities. Determining the fair value of stock based
awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected life of stock options, the expected volatility of our stock and the amount of stock options expected to be forfeited. To the extent actual results or updated estimates
differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates and our results of
operations could be materially impacted.

On June 30, 2006, we exchanged 959,531 vested stock options held by 18 employees with
exercise prices ranging from $3.86 to $118.44 for 422,472 vested stock options to those same employees at an exercise price of $2.85, which was our common stock price on the date of the exchange. Neither our officers nor members of our Board of
Directors participated in this exchange program. We did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense as a result of the exchange since the fair values of the new awards were less than the fair values of the original awards immediately prior to
the exchange.

On July 19, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of certain unvested stock options with
exercise prices equal to or greater than $3.82 per share previously awarded to our employees (including our executive officers) and our Directors under our stock option plans. The acceleration of vesting was effective for stock options outstanding
as of July 19, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock were accelerated. All of the options accelerated had exercise prices greater than our common stock price of $3.24 on the date of acceleration. The
weighted average exercise price of the options accelerated was $5.00. In accordance with the provisions of APB 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized as a result of the acceleration since the exercise price of all the accelerated
options exceeded our common stock price on the date of acceleration. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable us to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options in future periods in our consolidated statement of
operations upon our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Valuation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We must make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of our customers to make required payments. A considerable amount of judgment is required when we assess the realization of receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each
customer. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, including review of historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends, aging of the balance and estimated collectibility percentages for different aging ranges, and
changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of certain of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, we
may record a specific allowance against amounts owed to us by those customers, and thereby reduce the value of the receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, we would write off
the receivable against the allowance.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following:



| |  |  | significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in the manner or our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our market capitalization relative to our net book value.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

We evaluate goodwill at least on an annual basis for indications of impairment based on our fair value as determined by our market capitalization in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS 142) or more frequently if certain indicators are present. If this evaluation indicates that the value of the goodwill may be impaired, we make an assessment of the impairment of the goodwill using the two-step method
prescribed by SFAS 142. Any such impairment charge could be significant and have a material adverse effect on our reported financial statements. We completed our annual assessment of goodwill in the three months ended June 30, 2006, 2005, and
2004, respectively, and no impairment of goodwill was determined as a result of these assessments. Any future impairment loss related to the goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions will not be deductible by Tumbleweed for federal income
tax purposes. As of December 31, 2006, we had goodwill of $48.1 million.

Accrual for Anticipated Operating Lease Losses

We assess anticipated operating lease losses whenever we determine that our usage of our facility space will be impacted by business conditions and
subsequently reevaluate anticipated losses each time a sublease is entered into or exited. Changing market conditions make anticipated operating lease losses difficult to determine. During 2003 we recognized a charge of $996,000 related to potential
losses on an operating lease in Slough, United Kingdom that was included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs. The charge was estimated to include contractually required repairs, remaining lease
liabilities, and brokerage fees, offset by estimated sublease income. During 2004 we recognized a charge of $168,000 on an operating lease in Slough, United Kingdom, that was included in our consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and
other costs due to a revised estimate of the term of expected subleases on the building which required an increase to the existing liability recorded for the anticipated lease loss on this lease. During 2005, we recognized a $296,000 credit related
to this same lease that was included in our consolidated statement of

##### Table of Contents

operations as Merger-related and other costs due to the combined cost of the final lease settlement payments, commissions, brokerage fees, and legal fees
related to the termination of this lease being less than the existing accrual for the loss on the lease. During 2004, we recognized a charge of $183,000 related to potential losses on an operating lease in Palo Alto, California that was included in
our consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs. The charge was estimated to include remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees, offset by estimated sublease income. This office space was subleased in December 2004 for
the remainder of the lease term with sublease rental income less than our rent payments due to a weak office rental market in and around Palo Alto. Estimates related to sublease costs and income are based on assumptions regarding the period required
to locate and contract with a sublessee, sublease rates, and brokerage fees. Each reporting period we review these estimates, and to the extent that our assumptions change and/or actual charges are incurred, the ultimate charge for the loss on this
operating lease could vary from our current estimates.

Item 7AQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We currently do not use financial
instruments to hedge operating expenses in Australia, Bulgaria, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom denominated in the respective local currency. We assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency
exposures on an ongoing basis.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our
foreign currency exposure in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. We regularly review our hedging program and may as part of this review determine at any time to change our hedging program.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The primary objective of
our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we have invested in may be subject to market risk.
This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed rate equal to the then-prevailing interest rate and the prevailing
interest rate later rises, the fair value of our investment will decline. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in commercial paper and money market funds. In general, our investments are not subject to market risk
because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. As of December 31, 2006, none of our cash equivalents were subject to market risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and
Stockholders

Tumbleweed Communications Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tumbleweed Communications Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tumbleweed
Communications Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Also, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of
quantifying errors in 2006.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the effectiveness of Tumbleweed Communications Corp.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 14, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Tumbleweed Communications Corp.:

We have audited managements assessment, included in
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A,that Tumbleweed Communications Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on
criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management of Tumbleweed Communications Corp. is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting of Tumbleweed Communications Corp. based on our audit.

We conducted our audit
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, managements assessment that Tumbleweed Communications Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.Also, in our opinion, Tumbleweed Communications Corp. maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance
sheets of Tumbleweed Communications Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2006 and our report dated March 14, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

TUMBLEWEED COMMUNICATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

(1)    Organization

Tumbleweed Communications Corp. (Tumbleweed) is a recognized expert in
providing messaging security solutions for enterprise and government customers of all sizes. Tumbleweed provides comprehensive solutions for both inbound/outbound email and file transfer needs. Security conscious organizations use our product to
block security threats, protect information, safely and confidently conduct business online, and enable the safe exchange of messages, files, and transactions.

(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Policy

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tumbleweed and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of Tumbleweeds wholly-owned subsidiaries, Incubator, Limited (Incubator), and Corvigo, Inc. (Corvigo), have been
included commencing March 15, 2004 and March 18, 2004, the effective dates of those acquisitions, respectively.

Cash and
Cash Equivalents

Tumbleweed considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject Tumbleweed to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Tumbleweeds cash equivalents generally consist of
money market mutual funds with qualified financial institutions. To reduce credit risk with accounts receivable, Tumbleweed performs periodic evaluations of its customers financial condition and, when necessary, records bad debt expense. One
customer comprised 27% of Tumbleweed accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, at December 31, 2006. This balance was collected in full in the first quarter of 2006. No single customer comprised 10% or more of
Tumbleweeds accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, at December 31, 2005. For 2006, one customer comprised 13% of revenue. For 2005 and 2004, respectively, no single customer comprised 10% or more of
Tumbleweeds revenue.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally 2 to 5 years for computers, software,
furniture, and equipment; and the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term for leasehold improvements. Tumbleweed recorded depreciation expense of $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.5 million for 2006, 2005,
and 2004, respectively.

Maintenance and repairs are recorded as expenses as incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the
lives of assets are capitalized and depreciated. Upon disposal, the assets cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Capitalized Software

Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as
incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. To date, capitalized costs for software development have not been material. The period between the achievement of technological feasibility and the general
release of Tumbleweeds products has typically been of a short duration.

Letters of Credit

As of December 31, 2006, Tumbleweed included restricted cash in the amount of $26,000 as a part of Other current assets on its consolidated balance
sheet. Tumbleweed had restricted cash in the amounts of $571,000 and $541,000 included as a part of Other assets on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The restricted cash primarily relates to letters
of credit held by the lessors of Tumbleweeds Redwood City, California, Palo Alto, California, and Sofia, Bulgaria office operating leases.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Tumbleweed assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and
goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that are considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following:



| |  |  | significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant decline in Tumbleweeds stock price for a sustained period; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Tumbleweeds market capitalization relative to its net book value.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

Recoverability of intangible assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets, generally estimated using
discounted net cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

In
connection with the acquisitions of Corvigo, Incubator, and Valicert, Inc. (Valicert) on March 18, 2004, March 15, 2004, and June 23, 2003, respectively, Tumbleweed recognized $33.4 million, $1.4 million, and $13.3
million of goodwill, respectively, representing the excess of the respective purchase prices over the fair values of the acquired net tangible and identified intangible assets. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (SFAS 142), the goodwill acquired in the Corvigo, Incubator, and Valicert acquisitions is not amortized, but instead, the goodwill balances will be tested for
impairment at least annually and more frequently if certain indicators are present. Any future impairment loss related to the goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Corvigo, Incubator, and Valicert will not be deductible by
Tumbleweed for federal income tax purposes.

Revenue Recognition

Tumbleweed derives its revenue from three sources: (i) product revenue, which includes license fees for products sold as software or on appliances,
subscription-based license fees, and transaction-based license fees;

(ii) service revenue, which consists of support and maintenance fees, consulting fees, and training fees; and (iii) intellectual property revenue
which includes patent license agreement fees. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount
and timing of Tumbleweeds revenue for any period based on the judgments and estimates made by its management.

Tumbleweed recognizes
revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to
Certain Transactions (SOP 98-9). Tumbleweed makes significant judgments related to revenue recognition. Specifically, as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2 in connection with each transaction involving its products, Tumbleweed must
evaluate whether: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is probable. Tumbleweed applies these criteria as discussed below.



| |  |  | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.    Tumbleweed requires a written contract, signed by both the customer and Tumbleweed, or a
purchase order from those customers that have previously negotiated a standard license arrangement or volume purchase agreement with Tumbleweed prior to recognizing revenue on an arrangement.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Delivery has occurred.Tumbleweed delivers software to its customers physically or electronically. For physical deliveries,
Tumbleweeds standard transfer terms are typically free on board, or FOB, shipping point. For electronic deliveries, delivery occurs when Tumbleweed provides the customer access codes or keys that allow the customer to take
immediate possession of the software.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The fee is fixed or determinable.    Tumbleweeds determination that an arrangement fee is fixed or determinable depends principally
on the arrangements payment terms. Tumbleweeds standard payment terms require the arrangement fee to be due within a maximum of 90 days. Where these terms apply, Tumbleweed regards the fee as fixed or determinable, and Tumbleweed
recognizes revenue upon delivery (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met). If the payment terms do not meet this standard, which Tumbleweed refers to as extended payment terms, Tumbleweed does not consider the fee to be
fixed or determinable and generally recognizes revenue when customer installments are due and payable.

| |  |  | Collectibility is probable.    To recognize revenue, Tumbleweed must judge collectibility of the arrangement fees, which it does on a
customer-by-customer basis pursuant to its credit review policy. Tumbleweed typically sells to customers with whom it has a history of successful collection. For new customers, Tumbleweed evaluates the customers financial position and ability
to pay. If Tumbleweed determined that collectibility is not probable based upon its credit review process or the customers payment history, Tumbleweed recognizes revenue when payment is received.

Tumbleweed allocates revenue on software transactions, (referred to as arrangements in the accounting literature), involving multiple
elements to each undelivered element based on their respective fair values. Specifically, in a multi-element arrangement Tumbleweed allocates revenue first to undelivered elements such as support and maintenance, consulting services, and training
based on each elements fair value and the residual is allocated to the product license as product revenue. The fair value of support and maintenance fees is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the maintenance, which is
typically one year. The fair value of services not considered essential to the functionality of the product or technology delivered is initially deferred and recognized into revenue as the services are performed. Tumbleweeds determination
of the fair value of each element in multiple element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). Tumbleweed limits its assessment of the VSOE of fair value for each element to the price charged when that element
is sold separately.

Arrangements that include consulting services are evaluated to determine whether those services are
essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement. When services are not considered essential, the revenue allocable to the services is recognized separately from the software, provided VSOE of the fair value of these services
exists. If Tumbleweed provides consulting services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software products, both the product revenue and service revenue are recognized under contract accounting in accordance with the provisions
of SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized under the percentage of completion method based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to
date to total projected labor hours except in limited circumstances where completion status cannot be reasonably estimated, in which case the completed contract method is used.

Tumbleweeds software products are typically fully functional upon delivery and do not require significant modification or alteration. For
arrangements where services are not essential to the functionality of the software, customers typically purchase consulting services to facilitate the adoption of Tumbleweeds technology, but they may also decide to use their own resources or
appoint other professional service organizations to perform these services. Software products and related support and maintenance services may be billed separately and independently from professional services, which are typically billed on either a
time-and-materials basis or a fixed fee basis. For time-and-materials contracts, Tumbleweed recognizes revenue as the services are performed. For fixed fee engagements with milestones or acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized upon completion
of a milestone or acceptance, if applicable.

Tumbleweed recognizes revenue from patent license agreements when (i) the patent license
agreement is executed, (ii) the amounts due are fixed, determinable, and billable, and (iii) collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

Tumbleweed recognizes revenue from indirect channels such as resellers using the same criteria as is used for arrangements obtained through its direct sales team.

Tumbleweed typically grants its customers a warranty which guarantees that its products will substantially conform to its current specifications for 90
days from the delivery date. Tumbleweed accounts for the estimated cost of product and service warranties in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, based on specific warranty claims received, provided that it is probable that a
liability exists, and provided the cost to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim can be reasonably estimated. The amount of the reserve recorded is equal to the costs to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim. Costs related to warranty claims were
$278,000, $0, and $0 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Advertising

Tumbleweed expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising expense was $236,000, $111,000, and $179,000, for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation

allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount whose realization is more likely than not. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock-Based Compensation

Tumbleweeds stock-based compensation program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain
employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Effective January 1, 2006, Tumbleweed adopted SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for 2006 includes
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Tumbleweed recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the unvested portion of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 on an
accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual award consistent with its methodology prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 28, Accounting
for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and compensation cost for these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. In accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R, Tumbleweed recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award, which
is generally the option vesting term. Tumbleweed estimated the forfeiture rates for 2006 based on its historical experience during the preceding 4.5 fiscal years. Estimated forfeitures are adjusted for actual forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

Prior to January 1, 2006, Tumbleweed accounted for its stock-based compensation arrangements for employees and non-employees using
the intrinsic-value method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense was generally recorded for fixed plan stock options on
the date of grant only when either options were granted to non-employees or the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeded the exercise price for stock options granted.

During 2006, Tumbleweed recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4.6 million under the requirements of SFAS 123R. As a result of adopting
SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, Tumbleweeds net loss and net loss before income taxes for 2006 were $4.5 million higher than if Tumbleweed had continued to account for stock-based compensation expense under APB 25. Both basic and
diluted net loss per share for 2006 were $0.09 per share higher than if Tumbleweed had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25.

During 2005, Tumbleweed recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $178,000 to recognize the fair value of stock options granted to certain non-employees for professional services. The assumptions used to value the
option grants were a contractual term of 10 years, volatility of 100%, risk-free interest rate of 4.15%, and dividend yield of 0%. This deferred stock-based compensation was amortized over twelve month periods, which were the expected periods over
which the related services would occur. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during 2005 also included expense resulting from a separation agreement with a former employee. The separation agreement modified the former employees existing
stock options by extending the vesting period beyond the original terms of the stock option grants.

Had stock-based compensation expense
for Tumbleweeds stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with the fair value approach set forth in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based

On June 30, 2006, Tumbleweed exchanged 959,531 vested stock options held by 18 employees with
exercise prices ranging from $3.86 to $118.44 for 422,472 vested stock options to those same employees at an exercise price of $2.85, which was Tumbleweeds common stock price on the date of the exchange. Neither Tumbleweed officers nor members
of its Board of Directors participated in this exchange program. Tumbleweed did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense as a result of the exchange since the fair values of the new awards were less than the fair values of the original
awards immediately prior to the exchange.

On July 19, 2005, Tumbleweeds Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting
of certain unvested stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $3.82 per share previously awarded to its employees (including its executive officers) and its directors under its stock option plans. The acceleration of vesting was
effective for stock options outstanding as of July 19, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock were accelerated. All of the options accelerated had exercise prices greater than Tumbleweeds common
stock price of $3.24 on the date of acceleration. The weighted average exercise price of the options accelerated was $5.00. In accordance with the provisions of APB 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized as a result of the
acceleration since the exercise price of all the accelerated options exceeded Tumbleweeds common stock price on the date of acceleration. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable Tumbleweed to avoid recognizing compensation expense
associated with these options in future periods in its consolidated statement of operations upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Tumbleweed
estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected life of the options is based on the weighted average period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and Tumbleweeds historical exercise patterns. Tumbleweeds expected volatility is based on the daily historical volatility of Tumbleweeds
common stock, over the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term to the expected life of the option. Where the expected
term of Tumbleweeds stock-based awards does not correspond with the terms for which interest rates are quoted, Tumbleweed performs a straight-line interpolation to determine the rate from the available term maturities.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is calculated as the difference between the
exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of Tumbleweeds common stock for the 5.4 million options that had an exercise price below Tumbleweeds common stock closing price of $2.63 on December 29, 2006. During
2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under Tumbleweeds stock option plans was $1.3 million, determined as of the date of option exercise.

As of December 31, 2006 there was $5.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

At December 31, 2006, Tumbleweed has the following stock option plans as described below:

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan) was approved by Tumbleweeds stockholders on August 3, 1999, which allows eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount from fair
market value. A total of 500,000 shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan for each fiscal year occurring during the term of the Purchase Plan, which will terminate in 2009. Tumbleweed suspended the Purchase Plan
in 2002.

1993 Stock Option Plan

On September 30, 1993, Tumbleweed adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (Plan). In 1999, Tumbleweeds Board of Directors approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares authorized
for issuance by 650,000 shares to a total of 3,768,500 authorized shares. In August 1999, Tumbleweed ceased granting further options under the Plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price for incentive options is at least 100% of the fair market value
on the date of grant. The exercise price for nonqualified stock options is at least 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally expire in 10 years. Vesting periods are determined by the Board of Directors and generally
provide for 25% of the options to vest on the first anniversary date of the grant with the remaining options vesting monthly over the following 36 months.

1999 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan

The 1999 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) was approved by Tumbleweeds stockholders on August 3, 1999, for the benefit
of Tumbleweeds officers, directors, key employees, advisors and consultants. An aggregate of 14,882,858 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, which provides for the issuance of stock-based incentive awards,
including stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, and performance shares. The Incentive Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of stock options available
for grant of the lesser of 2,000,000 shares or 5% of the number of Tumbleweeds outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

2000 NSO Incentive Stock Plan

The 2000 NSO Incentive Stock Plan (NSO Incentive Plan) was
adopted by Tumbleweeds Board of Directors on July 10, 2000. The NSO Incentive Plan qualifies as a broadly based plan and is for the benefit of Tumbleweeds officers, directors, employees, advisors, and consultants. It
provides for the issuance of stock-based incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, and performance shares or any combination of such. The options granted under the NSO Incentive Plan are
not intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. An aggregate of 4,181,500 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the NSO Incentive Plan,
which will terminate on July 10, 2010.

Under the terms of the NSO Incentive Plan, the exercise price for stock options is determined
by the Board of Directors, Compensation Committee, or Administrators, generally 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The option term is determined by the Administrators, generally no longer than 10 years. Vesting periods are
determined by the Administrators and generally provide for 25% of the options to vest on the first anniversary date of the grant with the remaining options vesting monthly over the following 36 months.

Interface Stock Option Plans

On
September 1, 2000, Tumbleweed assumed the Interface 1992 Stock Option Plan (1992 Plan) and 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (Directors Plan) in connection with the Interface, Inc.
(Interface) acquisition. The 1992 Plan provided for the grant of both incentive stock options and non-qualified options to officers and key employees at not less than market price on the date of grant as determined by the Board of
Directors. Under the 1992 Plan, options generally vest at the rate of 33% per year after one year from the date of grant and have a term of ten years. The Directors Plan provided for the grant to non-employee directors of non-qualified options
at market price on the date of grant. The Directors Plan provides for discretionary grants with vesting determined at the time of grant with a term of ten years. A total of 236,000 shares of Tumbleweeds common stock were reserved for issuance
upon the exercise of stock options assumed in connection with the acquisition of Interface. Tumbleweed registered an additional 304,023 shares for issuance from the 1992 Plan, that was used to grant options to Interface employees at the time of the
merger and who remain employed by Tumbleweed. The Directors Plan was terminated upon its assumption by Tumbleweed, and no further options will be granted under it.

Valicert Stock Option Plans

On June 23, 2003, Tumbleweed assumed the Valicert 1998 Stock Option
Plan, the 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Plan, the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, and the Receipt.com Plan in connection with the acquisition of Valicert. These stock plans provide for the grant of options and restricted stock to employees, consultants and
directors. Incentive stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Non-statutory options may

be offered at not less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally vest over four years, and have a maximum term of 10
years. The number of stock options available for grant automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year by the lesser of 1,413,912 shares or 5% of the number of Tumbleweeds outstanding shares on the last day of the preceding year.
An aggregate of 7,545,901 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the Valicert stock option plans.

Valicert stock option
plans assumed by Tumbleweed were amended to conform with Tumbleweed stock option plans. This provides Tumbleweed with the flexibility to issue additional options as needed and promotes uniformity in new options issued to ex-Valicert and Tumbleweed
employees. Specifically, the 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, were amended, including the forms of option agreements under each such plan, to conform the terms and conditions applicable to
options granted under such plans to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under Tumbleweeds 1999 Omnibus Incentive Plan, including the form of option agreement under such plan.

In addition to conforming the terms of the Valicert stock option plans assumed by Tumbleweed to Tumbleweeds stock option plan, the 1998 Stock
Option Plan was further amended prior to the closing of the merger to provide the following:



| |  |  | the number of shares of Valicert common stock available for grant under the 1998 Stock Option Plan immediately following the close of the merger was no less than
1.5 million shares of Valicert common stock; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the provision of the 1998 Stock Option Plan that provides for a 5% annual increase in the number of stock options available for grant under such plan shall be
calculated as a percentage of the number of Tumbleweed shares issued and outstanding rather than the number of Valicert shares issued and outstanding.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corvigo Stock Option Plan

On March 18, 2004, Tumbleweed assumed the Corvigo 2002 Stock Option
Plan in connection with the acquisition of Corvigo. This plan provides for the grant of options to employees, consultants and directors. Incentive stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Non-statutory options may be
offered at not less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. Generally, 25% of the options vest on the first anniversary date of the grant with the remaining options vesting monthly over the following 36 months. Options have a
maximum term of 10 years. An aggregate of 884,678 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the Corvigo 2002 Stock Option Plan, which will not grant new options after November 15, 2012.

Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Tumbleweed records as deferred revenue any billed amounts due from customers in excess of revenues recognized. Advance payments are also recorded as
deferred revenue until the products are shipped, services are delivered, or obligations are met. Accounts receivable includes amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized or amounts are legally due. Tumbleweed evaluates the
collectibility of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In cases where Tumbleweed is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customers ability to meet its financial obligations, Tumbleweed records a specific
allowance against amounts owed to it by that customer, and thereby reduces the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, Tumbleweed writes off the receivable
against the allowance. In addition, Tumbleweed analyzes its accounts receivable balance in total, including review of historical bad debts, current economic trends, aging of the balances and estimated collectibility percentages for different aging
ranges, and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, there are significant judgments related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of long-term assets, accrued liabilities, accrued merger-related and other
costs, and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for each foreign subsidiary is its respective local currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities related to these operations
are translated at the current exchange rates at the end of each period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive income account in stockholders equity. Revenues and expenses
are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, no foreign currency transactions were hedged.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxesand requires a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions
and determine if they should be recognized in the financial statements. The two-step approach involves recognizing any tax positions that are more likely than not to occur and then measuring those positions to determine if they are
recognizable in the financial statements. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Tumbleweed is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying

current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of the 2006 fiscal year, allowing a one-time
transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings during the quarter of adoption for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108.

Tumbleweed adopted SAB 108 effective as of January 1, 2006. Although Tumbleweed believes its prior period assessments of uncorrected
differences and the conclusions reached regarding its quantitative and qualitative assessments of such uncorrected differences were appropriate, due to the analysis required in SAB 108, certain historical uncorrected differences related to the
application of cash receipts and the elimination of a minority interest related to a former subsidiary were corrected as a cumulative effect net adjustment to increase the opening Accumulated deficit balance as of the date of adoption by $227,000.

Prior to 2004, Tumbleweed incorrectly recorded certain cash receipts as a liability and these amounts were included on the balance sheet
in the Accrued liabilities line item. This error has previously been considered immaterial, but due to the analysis required upon Tumbleweeds adoption of SAB 108, these balances were eliminated by decreasing Accrued liabilities by $397,000,
resulting in a decrease in Accumulated deficit.

Tumbleweeds former subsidiary in Japan, Tumbleweed Communications KK
(TKK), was majority-owned by Tumbleweed with a minority interest in TKK owned by a third party. When reporting the results of TKK in Tumbleweeds consolidated statement of operations, the minority interest in TKKs results was
eliminated during consolidation with a partially offsetting amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the line item Accumulated other comprehensive income. During 2002, as a result of poor operating results, TKK was liquidated and
Tumbleweed recorded a loss on the write-off of TKK. However, $624,000 relating to the cumulative minority interest was not eliminated when TKK was liquidated and the loss recorded. Upon its adoption of SAB 108, Tumbleweed eliminated $624,000 related
to the minority interest, resulting in an increase to Accumulated deficit and a reduction in the Other comprehensive loss line item on the consolidated balance sheet.

(3)    Business Combinations

On March 18, 2004, Tumbleweed completed the
acquisition of Corvigo, an anti-spam appliance vendor. The acquisition was entered into to strengthen Tumbleweeds position in the anti-spam and email security markets and to accelerate Tumbleweeds distribution plans through the addition
of resellers already selling the Corvigo appliance. The purchase price of $40.9 million consisted of an exchange of 4,732,284 shares of Tumbleweeds common stock with a fair value of $32.8 million based on the fair value of Tumbleweeds
common stock on the date of the acquisition, cash paid of $6.0 million, assumed stock options with a fair value of $1.3 million, severances for former Corvigo employees of $97,000, and other acquisition-related costs of $727,000, consisting
primarily of legal fees, banking fees, and accounting fees.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price in the
acquisition of Corvigo (in thousands):

On March 15, 2004, Tumbleweed completed the acquisition of Incubator, a reseller of
Tumbleweeds products. The acquisition was entered into to expand Tumbleweeds sales in Europe. The purchase price of $1.7 million consisted of an exchange of 224,278 shares of Tumbleweeds common stock with a fair value of $1.6
million based on the fair value of Tumbleweeds common stock on the date of the acquisition and other acquisition-related costs of $119,000, consisting of legal and accounting fees.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price in the acquisition of Incubator (in thousands):

|                                      |  |   |       |  

As part of the acquisition of Incubator, Tumbleweed agreed that in the event that a certain sales
goal was met in Tumbleweeds European sales region in the year ending December 31, 2004, Tumbleweeds purchase price for Incubator would increase by the exchange of additional shares of Tumbleweeds common stock. During the three
months ended September 30, 2004, the purchase agreement was amended to issue 62,509 shares to the former owners of Incubator worth $183,000 based on the fair value of Tumbleweeds stock on the date of issuance as consideration for progress
towards the European sales goal in the first six months of 2004. In addition, in the event that specified sales goals were met in Tumbleweeds European sales region for the two-year period ending December 31, 2005, Tumbleweeds
purchase price for Incubator would increase by the exchange of additional shares of Tumbleweeds common stock worth $1,000,000 plus 10% of the amount of Tumbleweeds European sales in excess of the sales goal for the year ending
December 31, 2005. The sales goals for the European sales region for the year ending December 31, 2004 and the two-year period ending December 31, 2005 were not met. As a result of these sales goals not being met, there is no further
contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of Incubator.

As of December 31, 2006, in connection with the acquisitions of
Corvigo, Incubator, and Valicert on March 18, 2004, March 15, 2004, and June 23, 2003, respectively, Tumbleweed has $33.4 million, $1.4 million, and $13.3 million of goodwill, respectively, representing the excess of the
respective purchase prices over the fair values of the acquired net tangible and identified intangible assets. During the last three quarters of 2004, Tumbleweed reduced its goodwill balance related to the Corvigo acquisition by $1.4 million to
reduce to fair value unvested stock options assumed in the acquisition and increased its goodwill balance related to the Corvigo acquisition by $93,000 due to actual expenditures for accounting and legal acquisition-related costs being higher than
previously estimated. During the second quarter of 2004, Tumbleweed increased its goodwill balance related to the Incubator acquisition by $15,000 due to actual expenditures for accounting and legal acquisition-related costs being higher than
previously estimated.

Merger-related and Other Costs

There were no merger-related and other costs in 2006. Merger-related and other costs of a net credit of $96,000 for 2005 consist of a $296,000 credit related to the termination of an operating lease in Slough, United
Kingdom partially offset by a $200,000 severance cost associated with the resignation of our former Chief Executive Officer. The combined cost of the final lease settlement payments, commissions, brokerage fees, and legal fees related to the
termination of the Slough lease was less than the existing accrual for the loss on the lease, resulting in the expense credit. The Slough lease was assumed during the acquisition of Interface in 2000 and

covered approximately 13,000 square feet of office space. The lease was for a term ending in 2020 with quarterly rent payments of approximately $65,000. The
final lease settlement payment for the Slough lease of approximately $113,000 was made in July 2005.

Merger-related and other costs of
$1.1 million for 2004 consist of $703,000 of severance costs for Tumbleweed employees terminated in connection with the Corvigo acquisition and the sale of Tumbleweeds former development subsidiary in India to a third party in June of 2004,
$183,000 related to anticipated losses on an operating lease in Palo Alto, California, $168,000 related to anticipated losses on an operating lease in Slough, United Kingdom, a credit of $44,000 for a gain on the sale of Tumbleweeds former
development center subsidiary in India, and $68,000 of other merger-related costs. The operating lease in Palo Alto was assumed during the acquisition of Corvigo and covers approximately 12,000 square feet of office space. The lease is for a term
ending in 2007 with current monthly rent payments of approximately $22,000. Subsequent to the acquisition of Corvigo, Tumbleweed decided to vacate the Palo Alto facility. The $183,000 charge was recorded due to a revised estimate of the period
required to locate and contract with a sublessee and sublease rates. As a result of the new estimate, the existing accrual for the loss on the lease was found to be insufficient and an additional liability was recorded. This office space was
subleased in December 2004 for the remainder of the lease term with sublease rental income less than Tumbleweeds rent payments due to a weak office rental market in and around Palo Alto. The operating lease in Slough was assumed during the
acquisition of Interface in 2000 and covered approximately 13,000 square feet of office space. The lease was for a term ending in 2020 with quarterly rent payments of approximately $65,000. The $168,000 charge was recorded due to a revised estimate
of the term of expected subleases on the building. Tumbleweeds former development center subsidiary in India was acquired in the acquisition of Valicert and supported Tumbleweeds engineering, customer support, and consulting functions.
This subsidiary was sold to consolidate Tumbleweeds international development in its existing Bulgaria location.

Severance costs are scheduled to be paid until 2007. Payments for anticipated remaining losses on
the operating lease are expected to occur over the life of the lease, which ends in 2007.

(4)    Acquired Workforce

In September 2003, Tumbleweed issued 86,538 shares of stock to a company to convert certain former contract engineers to employees in its development
center in Bulgaria. Since this acquisition was not considered to be an acquisition of a business, Tumbleweed recorded an acquired workforce intangible asset of $476,000 to recognize the fair value of the stock issued. Tumbleweed amortized this
intangible asset over its estimated useful

life of one year. During 2004, Tumbleweed recognized amortization expense of $337,000 relating to the acquired workforce intangible asset. This intangible
asset was amortized in full as of December 31, 2004.

The estimated amortization for each of the fiscal years subsequent to December 31, 2006, is as
follows (in thousands):

|Year Ending December 31, |  |

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired net tangible
and identified intangible assets. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, the goodwill acquired in the Valicert, Incubator, and Corvigo acquisitions will not be amortized, but instead, the goodwill balances will be tested for impairment at
least annually and more frequently if certain impairment conditions exist. Any future impairment loss related to the goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Valicert, Incubator, and Corvigo will not be deductible by Tumbleweed for
federal income tax purposes.

A summary of accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows (in thousands):

Legal Counsel

Gregory C. Smith, a
brother of Jeffrey C. Smith, a director and Tumbleweeds former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a partner of the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (Skadden Arps), which began providing legal
services to Tumbleweed in July 1998. Total fees paid to Skadden Arps were approximately $430,000, $315,000, and $802,000, in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, for matters relating to Tumbleweeds intellectual property, Tumbleweeds
acquisitions of Corvigo, Incubator, and Valicert, and ongoing general and other litigation matters.

Financial Advisement

Curtis H. Smith, a brother of Jeffrey C. Smith, a Tumbleweed Director and Tumbleweeds former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, is a director at Savvian Advisors, LLC (Savvian Advisors). Subsequent to December 31, 2006, Tumbleweed entered into an agreement with Savvian Advisors to provide financial advisement services to Tumbleweed related to
potential strategic activities. Pursuant to this agreement, Savvian Advisors would receive a customary fee in the event that their financial advisement results in a strategic transaction. Tumbleweed paid no fees to Savvian Advisors during 2006,
2005, or 2004.

Mr. Curtis Smith was formerly a principal at First Albany Capital (First Albany), which provided financial
advisement services to Tumbleweed in 2004 related to the acquisition of Corvigo. Total fees paid to First Albany were approximately $185,000 in 2004. Tumbleweed paid no fees to First Albany during 2006 or 2005.

(7)    Debt

No debt was
outstanding at either December 31, 2006 or 2005. In the acquisition of Valicert, Tumbleweed assumed debt of $855,000 resulting from equipment leases with two financing companies. During 2003, this debt was refinanced with an $800,000 loan with
a bank. This debt was repaid in full during 2005.

A valuation allowance against Tumbleweeds net deferred tax assets has been established since
it cannot be concluded that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities will be realized. The valuation allowance of $120.5 million at December 31, 2005 has increased by $862,000 to $121.3 million
at December 31, 2006. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2006 includes approximately $21 million related to windfall stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be credited to additional paid in capital when realized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



In connection with the acquisitions of Corvigo in 2004, Valicert in 2003, and Interface in 2000,
deferred tax assets of approximately $1.6 million, $33.5 million, and $8.1 million, respectively, were recorded. When recognized, the tax benefits of such deferred tax assets will be applied, first, to reduce to zero any goodwill related to this
acquisition; second, to reduce to zero other non-current intangible assets related to this acquisition; and third, to reduce income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2006, Tumbleweed had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and California income tax purposes of approximately $296.8 million and $74.0 million, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to
income taxes. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in the years 2008 through 2025 and the California net operating loss carryforwards expire in the years 2007 through 2015.

As of December 31, 2006, Tumbleweed also had research and development tax credit carryforwards for Federal and California income tax return purposes
of approximately $5.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, available to reduce future income taxes. Tumbleweed also has California Manufacturing Credit carryforwards of $262,000. The Federal research and development tax credit will expire in
years 2008 through 2026. The California research and development tax credit carries forward indefinitely.

Tumbleweeds ability to
utilize the net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in the future may be subject to substantial restriction in the event of past or future ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state tax
law.

(9)    Stockholders Equity

Under Tumbleweeds certificate of incorporation, Tumbleweed is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, each with a par value of $0.001. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
Tumbleweed had 50,427,209 and 49,492,960 shares outstanding. Tumbleweed is also authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.001. Tumbleweed has zero preferred shares outstanding as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively.

(10)    Employee Benefit Plan

Tumbleweed has a 401(k) plan that allows eligible employees to contribute a percentage of their compensation, limited to $15,000 ($20,000 for employees
over age 50), $14,000 ($18,000 for employees over age 50), and $13,000 ($16,000 for employees over age 50) in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Tumbleweed did not match contributions to employees 401(k) plans in 2006, 2005, or 2004.

(11)    Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

Tumbleweed leases its facilities and certain equipment under operating lease
agreements. The facilities leases expire at various dates through 2007 and 2008. Tumbleweed has an operating lease covering approximately 40,000 square feet of office space in Redwood City, California. The lease expires in July 2008 with current
monthly rent payments of approximately $77,000.

As a result of the Corvigo acquisition, Tumbleweed assumed an operating lease in Palo
Alto, California. Subsequent to the acquisition of Corvigo, Tumbleweed decided to vacate the Palo Alto facility. The lease is for a term ending in 2007 with current monthly rent payments of approximately $22,000. In 2004 Tumbleweed recognized a
charge of $183,000 related to anticipated losses on this lease that was included in the consolidated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs. The $183,000 charge was recorded due to a revised estimate of the period required to locate and
contract with a sublessee and sublease rates. As a result of the new estimate, the existing accrual for the loss on the lease was found to be insufficient and the remaining balance for that liability was reclassified on the consolidated balance
sheet from Accrued liabilities to Accrued merger-related and other costs to be tracked along with the liability resulting from the revised estimate recorded in the three months ending September 30, 2004. This office space was subleased in
December 2004 for the remainder of the lease term with sublease rental income less than Tumbleweeds rent payments due to a weak office rental market in and around Palo Alto.

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases as of December 31, 2006, are as follows (in thousands):



|                              |  |                  |

|Year Ending December 31,      |  | Operating Leases

|2008                          |  |                  | 538

|                              |  |                  |      

The amounts above will be offset by sublease receipts of $41,000 in 2007.

Total rent expense under operating leases for 2006, 2005, and 2004, was $1.6 million, $1.5 million, and $1.4 million, respectively.

Contingencies

In December 2001,
certain plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Valicert, alleging violations of federal securities laws. In re Valicert,
Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01-CV-10889 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). The operative amended complaint is brought on purported
behalf of all persons who purchased Valicert common stock from the date of its July 27, 2000 initial public offering (IPO) through December 6, 2000. It names as defendants Valicert, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its
Chief Financial Officer (the Valicert Defendants), as well as an investment banking firm that served as an underwriter for the IPO. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the IPO did not disclose that: (1) the underwriter agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the IPO in exchange for excess
commissions to be paid to the underwriter; and (2) the underwriter arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The complaint also appears to allege that false or misleading analyst
reports were issued. The complaint does not claim any specific amount of damages. Similar allegations have been made in lawsuits relating to more than 300 other initial public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, all of which have been consolidated
for pretrial purposes. In February 2003, the Court issued a ruling on all defendants motions to dismiss, denying Valicerts motion to dismiss the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, but granting Valicerts motion to dismiss the
claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In June 2003, Valicert accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants
in this case. Under the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Valicert Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the
issuers in all the consolidated cases, and the assignment or surrender of control to the plaintiffs of certain claims



66

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers will be required to pay the amount, if any, by which $1 billion
exceeds the aggregate amount ultimately collected by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all of the cases. If the plaintiffs fail to recover $1 billion and payment is required under the guaranty, Valicert would be responsible to pay
its pro rata portion of the shortfall, up to the amount of the deductible retention under its insurance policy, which is $500,000. The timing and amount of payments that Valicert could be required to make under the proposed settlement will depend on
several factors, principally the timing and amount of any payment required by the insurers pursuant to the $1 billion guaranty. The proposed settlement is subject to approval of the Court, which cannot be assured. In April 2006, the Court held a
hearing on the proposed settlement but has not yet issued a ruling on the issue. Failure of the Court to approve the settlement followed by an adverse outcome could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this
lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

In June 2003, we were served with a summons and first amended complaint, captioned Liu v. Credit Suisse First Boston, et alia, alleging the
violation of federal and state securities laws, purportedly on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock of (other than purchasers of our IPO) from August 6, 1999 to October 18, 2000. The case was transferred to the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, where in March 2005, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice. In June 2005 plaintiffs filed an appeal of the dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which
remains pending. An adverse outcome in this case could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include a
reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

All costs incurred as a result of these legal
proceedings and claims are charged to expense as incurred. Tumbleweed indemnifies its customers from third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of its products. Historically, costs related to these guarantees have
not been significant. Tumbleweed is unable to estimate the potential impact of these guarantees on its future results of operations.

(12)    Segment Information

As defined by SFAS 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information, Tumbleweeds chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. This officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue by
geographic region for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The consolidated financial information reviewed is the information presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Tumbleweed
operates in a single reporting segment providing messaging security solutions that are developed and sold in similar ways to enterprise and government customers of all sizes. Furthermore, discrete product line information is impractical to obtain,
as Tumbleweed often cross-sells its products to its customers.

Revenue information regarding operations in the different geographic
regions is as follows (in thousands):

Item 9Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not
applicable.

Item 9AControls and Procedures



|(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------

Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period,
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in
ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



|(b) | Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------

No
changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal controls over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Tumbleweed have been detected. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.



|(c) | Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. Our independent registered
public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, have issued an audit report on our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
