Trend Micro Reports Second Quarter Results

   Technology and service acquisitions and Significant Growth in Networking
                          Products Highlight Quarter

     TOKYO, Aug. 3 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro, Inc.
(TSE: 4704; Nasdaq: TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and Internet content
security software and services, today announced earnings results for the
second quarter 2005.
    Trend Micro posted consolidated net sales of 17.19 billion Yen (or US
$159.57 million, 107.72 JPY = 1USD), operating income of 5.47 billion Yen (or
US $50.78 million) and net income of 3.93 billion Yen (or US $36.52 million)
for the second quarter 2005.  These figures reflect gains of nearly 16% in net
sales compared with the same period in the previous year.  Operating income
was down 13% from the same quarter in the previous year, largely due to
additional support costs incurred in Japan in April.

    The company continued to enjoy steady growth around the world.  Both the
United States and the Asia-Pacific regions experienced a 29 percent year-over-
year increase in revenue, and sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa
(EMEA) increased 19 percent over the same period.  Much of the company's
growth was buoyed by strong sales in networking security products.  For
example, in the second quarter, revenue for network products including Trend
Micro Network VirusWall grew 232 percent year-over-year worldwide, with
especially strong growth in the United States, EMEA and Japan compared to the
previous year.  Gateway Suite products also saw strong revenue growth compared
to the same quarter in the previous year, highlighted by a 35 percent increase
in Europe and a 63 percent increase in the Asia-Pacific region.
    While growth remained steady, Trend Micro strengthened its position in the
marketplace by announcing two major acquisitions that enhance the company's
ability to protect customers from some of the most pressing threats.  On May
10, 2005, the company announced its acquisition of InterMute, a leading
developer of anti-spyware products.  Shortly after the announcement, the
company introduced Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3.0 and Trend Micro Anti-Spyware
for Small and Medium Businesses 3.0.  On June 14, 2005, Trend Micro announced
its acquisition of Kelkea Inc., a leading authority on IP filtering and
reputation services.  The acquisition enables Trend Micro to accelerate its
development of network-level solutions against spam and other related threats.
    ''The second quarter of this year has included some challenges and some
significant triumphs for Trend Micro, but we continue to focus on service
quality improvement, and continued growth and expansion,'' said Eva Chen, CEO
of Trend Micro.  ''The steady traction of our network-level solutions,
partnerships and alliances, and new technology and service acquisitions are
indicative of our strength and success as we further enhance our abilities to
protect customers from even more complex threats.''
     Based on information currently available to the company, consolidated net
sales for the third quarter ending September 30, 2005 is expected to be 17.2
billion Yen (or US $153.6 million, based on an exchange rate of 112JPY =
1USD).  Operating income and net income are expected to be 6.2 billion Yen (or
US $55.4 million) and 3.75 billion Yen (or US $33.5 million), respectively.

    Second Quarter Business Highlights

      -- New Acquisitions
         Trend Micro acquired InterMute, Inc., a leading developer of
         anti-spyware products, and quickly announced three new standalone
         products for the detection and removal of spyware and grayware for
         businesses and consumers.  Trend Micro Anti-spyware products
         feature CWShredder(TM), regarded as one of the most effective
         solutions for eliminating the CoolWebSearch Web browsing hijacker
         and its many variants -- some of which avoid detection and removal
         through ever-changing methods.
         Trend Micro acquired Kelkea Inc., a leading authority on IP
         filtering and reputation services, and is offering Trend Micro
         Network Reputation Services to anti-spam customers.  Trend Micro
         plans to further develop technologies to combat phishing attacks,
         zombies, and botnets; the company will also enhance current
         anti-spam solutions through the extensive knowledge base of more
         than 1.5 billion IP addresses.

      -- Anti-Spyware Solutions
         Trend Micro introduced several new solutions for combating the
         growing spyware problem, including a multi-layered solutions strategy
         for coordinated security at the enterprise gateway, server, and
         client levels.  The company also introduced standalone anti-spyware
         offerings designed for businesses and consumers.
         During the quarter, Trend Micro was the first company in the security
         industry to achieve Checkmark Spyware certification for spyware
         detection performance.  Two products -- Trend Micro OfficeScan(TM)
         and Trend Micro PC-cillin(TM) Internet Security Suite -- received the
         certification.

      -- Products and Innovation
         The following products were introduced in the second quarter 2005:
         Trend Micro InterScan(TM) Web Security Suite 2.5 -- gateway security
         solution designed to block spyware, grayware, phishing attacks,
         viruses, and other malware entering corporate networks via the
         Internet gateway.
         Trend Micro OfficeScan v7.0 -- an advanced, integrated client and
         server security solution that combines comprehensive threat
         protection with services and policy enforcement compatibility to help
         ensure enterprise uptime and productivity.
         Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3.0 and Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for Small
         and Medium Businesses 3.0 -- standalone options for detection and
         removal of evasive spyware and grayware.
         Trend Micro Mobile Security 2.0 -- extends multiplatform protection
         to defend Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system from viruses,
         worms, and other malicious threats.

      -- Global Business Highlights
         In May 2005, a U.S. International Trade Commission judge issued a
         final determination in Trend Micro's favor involving the unfair
         import proceeding Trend Micro brought against Fortinet.  As a result,
         the judge has recommended that the ITC issue an order prohibiting
         Fortinet from importing FortiGate products into the United States.
         New customers and new business in the Asia-Pacific region included:
         Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China and
         Chung-Hwa Telecom in Taiwan.
