On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, the Company reported net income of $1.4 million or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005 compared with net income of $710,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2004, and net income of $844,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005.

Excluding amortization of intangibles and amortization of capitalized software costs, Fundtech's adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $2.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2004 and $1.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005.

"We're very pleased to report another quarter of record operating performance," said CEO Reuven Ben Menachem. "Our continued success is directly attributable to our great products and our global team of talented and dedicated employees."

Third quarter highlights:

• Fundtech closed 45 new deals and added 4 new bank customers.
• Closed 7 new system sales: 4 Payments and 3 Cash Management.
• In the U.S., closed ASP and disaster recovery services transactions, which are expected to generate $1.7 million of revenues over the next five years.
• A large bank in the far-east selected Cashtech's Enterprise Cash Management System Cash In as its strategic cash management solution.

"Further, we are very excited by our recently announced acquisition of Radius Partners," Ben Menachem added. "Year-to-date revenues from the Securities area now comprise 7% of the Company's total revenue, compared with less than 1% a year ago."

"Looking ahead I believe we will continue to benefit from the strength in the high-end payments marketplace, and look forward to strong revenue and operating growth in the fourth quarter and beyond."
