The SCO Group Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2006 Results

LINDON, Utah — Jan. 17, 2007 ― The SCO Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOX), a leading provider of UNIX® software technology and mobile services, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $7,349,000as compared to $8,528,000for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $(3,743,000), or $(0.18) per diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $(3,431,000), or $(0.19) per diluted common share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on the Company’s UNIX products and services.

“Even though competition is strong and continues to impact our revenue and operating results, we are continuing to develop and promote our UNIX solutions and mobile services strategy, as we believe that the market, as well as the benefits to our customers and partners, are significant,” said Darl McBride, president and CEO of The SCO Group. “During the fourth quarter we made adjustments to our operating model and eliminated certain costs. We believe these cost adjustments will allow the UNIX business to return to generating positive cash flow for the 2007 fiscal year. The Company continues to make progress in the development of its Me Inc. mobile services platform and applications. We remain committed to our UNIX business, introducing new mobile services to the marketplace and defending our intellectual property through the legal system.”

Revenue for the year ended October 31, 2006 was $29,239,000 as compared to $36,004,000 for the year ended October 31, 2005. The net loss for the year ended October 31, 2006 was $(16,598,000), or $(0.80) per diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $(10,726,000), or $(0.60) per diluted common share, for the year ended October 31, 2005.

Legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s litigation were $2,220,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, which was down from costs of $3,380,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior year and down from costs of $2,315,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Because of the unique and

unpredictable nature of this litigation, the occurrence and timing of litigation-related expenses is difficult to predict, and will be difficult to predict in the future. While we expect to continue to incur legal costs and expenses related to our ongoing litigation during the 2007 fiscal year, our expectation is that those costs and expenses will be less than they were for the 2006 fiscal year.

Cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities and restricted cash to be used for certain legal expenses totaled $12,664,000 as of October 31, 2006, compared to $13,312,000 as of October 31, 2005.

The Company’s Business

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company introduced an upgraded version of SCOoffice Server designed for SCO OpenServer 6 and UnixWare 7.1.4. The Company also began shipping SCO HA Clusters, a high availability solution for SCO OpenServer 6 customers that assures the constant availability of applications and data to the customer in the event of a hardware or software failure.

During the past year, the Company has developed a number of Me Inc. mobile services for use on a variety of industry smart phones for business and personal use. These mobile services are made possible through the Me Inc. Mobility Server, which is the back-end server technology based on the Company’s UNIX technology, that does much of the heavy lifting to make mobile phones substantially more powerful and useful. Combining these mobile services with the Company’s Me Inc. Mobility Server gives users a richer mobile experience and greater mobile capabilities than they would otherwise have.

During the quarter, the Company announced that it had entered into a strategic business partnership to develop, market, merchandise, and support a suite of Day-Timers branded mobile solutions for business and personal productivity. The Company is continuing development on the Day-Timers solution, and expects to begin shipping the solution during the second calendar quarter of 2007.
