FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                         9 March 2005




                           BERKELEY TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
                           (London: BEK; OTCBB: BKLYY)


Berkeley  Technology  Limited  ("the  Company")  yesterday  was  made  aware  of
a complaint from SunGard Data Systems Inc. ("SunGard") which has been filed with
the U.S.  district court in Philadelphia,  naming the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries as parties.  The complaint alleges that SunGard sustained losses in
an amount equal to at least  $7.2 million  resulting  from  alleged  breaches of
representations  and  warranties contained  in the sale and  purchase  agreement
relating  to the sale of the  Company's  advisory  services  business on June 5,
2003. After consultation with its legal advisors, the Company believes that this
claim is without merit and the Company will defend this matter  vigorously.  The
$1.0  million in cash due to be released to the Company on December  31, 2004 as
part of the proceeds of sale, remains in escrow.
