      NETGURU ENTERS AGREEMENT TO SELL REI DIVISION TO BENTLEY SYSTEMS INC.
       $23.5 Million Asset Purchase Agreement Includes STAAD Product Line

Yorba Linda, Calif.--August 22, 2005--netGuru, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq: NGRU)
has entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell its Research Engineers
International (REI) business and STAAD product lines to privately held Bentley
Systems, Incorporated., Exton, Pa., the leading provider of infrastructure
software for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) market, for
$23.5 million in cash.

The sale is subject to various closing conditions, including approval by netGuru
stockholders and compliance with regulatory requirements. If approved, the sale
is expected to close before the end of 2005. A portion of the sale proceeds is
expected to be allocated to transaction costs, applicable taxes and the
retirement of outstanding debt.

Bentley would acquire the worldwide operations associated with REI, including
the market-leading STAAD structural analysis and design product line, software
and product development, customer support and relationships, and offices
associated with the worldwide business, including offices in Yorba Linda,
Calif.; Bristol, UK; and Kolkata, India; as well as REI sales offices in other
parts of Europe and Asia.

netGuru would retain its collaborative software operations and products,
including eReview and ForReview, and its information technology and engineering
business process outsource services businesses. At the close of the sale, the
parties would enter into a transitional services agreement under which, among
other things, netGuru would retain the use of REI facilities for its retained
businesses.

Other terms include a $1 million break-up fee to be paid by netGuru to Bentley
if the agreement is terminated because the required approval is not obtained
from the Company's stockholders, or it is determined that certain fiduciary
obligations require that the asset sale not be completed. Should the sale be
completed, however, Bentley would reimburse netGuru up to $250,000 for legal and
financial expenses incurred in connection with the transaction.

netGuru Chairman and Chief Executive Amrit Das remarked: "The engineering
software industry has been consolidating and moving toward full integration of
software capabilities. The joining of REI's engineering operations, including
the STAAD brand of software, and services and support, with Bentley as the
leading software provider to the AEC market, would form a powerful complement
that would be able to provide seamless workflow processing capabilities for
engineers around the world.

"From a financial perspective, STAAD.Pro's success and consistent performance of
REI have created an opportunity to realize significant value that would
strengthen our balance sheet with a substantial cash position and therefore the
financial resources to allow management to explore a broad range of strategic
opportunities to maximize shareholder value," Das added.

In connection with the proposed transaction, a proxy statement will be mailed to
netGuru shareholders to provide full details and additional information,
including date, time, and location for a special shareholders meeting. netGuru
will also file the proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Security holders are advised to read the proxy statement, because it will
contain important information about the proposed transaction. A copy of the
proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by netGuru with the
SEC may be found free of charge at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. Copies of
the proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by netGuru with
the SEC may also be obtained free of charge from netGuru by directing a request

974-2500. netGuru and its executive officers and directors may be deemed to be

favor of the transaction. Information regarding netGuru's officers and directors
is included in netGuru's annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on July
14, 2005. This document is available free of charge at the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov and from netGuru. Security holders may obtain additional information
