UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 20052006

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share data)

NOTE 1 - 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and its wholly and partially owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “Open Text” or the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These Interim Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements are based upon accounting policies and methods of their application are consistent with those used and described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 2 “New Accounting Policies” below.statements. The Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the financial statement disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)GAAP and therefore should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

2006.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the three months ended September 30, 20052006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation.

2007.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related toto: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of investments, goodwill and acquired intangible assets, (v) long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) facility and restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals, income taxes,(ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) realization of investment tax credits, and (xi) the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation including the reclassification of amortization of acquired technology intangible assets from Amortization of acquired intangible assets set forth under Operating expenses to Cost of revenue. The reclassification of Amortization of acquired technology intangible assets increased Cost of revenues and decreased Operating expenses by $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from previously reported amounts.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million with a corresponding decrease of $192,000, $805,000 and $1.2 million in Cost of revenues for service, Research and development expense and Sales and marketing expense, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from previously reported amounts. This reclassification related to a change in the method of allocating operating expenses within the Company.

OPEN TEXT CORPORATION

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share data)

Service revenues increased by $1.3 million, offset by a decrease in Customer support revenues of $1.3 million and Cost of service revenues increased by $623,000, offset by a decrease in cost of customer support revenues of $623,000, in each case, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from previously reported amounts.

In September 2006, the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior year Misstatements when Quantifying Current year Misstatements,(“SAB 108”).SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB 108 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2007 annual financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SAB 108 will have on its financial statements.

On July 1, 2005,In September 2006, the Company adopted the fair value-based method for measurement and cost recognition of employee share-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement

of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 123 (Revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment”No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 123R”157”), usingwhich defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the modified prospective application transitional approach. Previously,source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company had elected to account for employee share-based compensation usingbeginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the intrinsic value method based upon Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. The intrinsic value method generally did not result in any compensation cost being recorded for employee stock options since the exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

Under the modified prospective application transitional approach, share-based compensation is recognized for awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled subsequent topotential impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R. 157 will have on its financial statements.

In addition, share-based compensation is recognized, subsequent toJuly 2006, the adoptionFASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 on Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—an interpretation of SFAS 123R,FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”).

Prior periods haveexamination is not been adjusted andappropriate. In applying the Company continues to provide pro forma disclosure as if it had accounted for employee share-based payments in all periods presented under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, “AccountingFIN 48, there will be distinct recognition and measurement evaluations. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for Stock-based Compensation”,recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize will be measured as the maximum amount which is presented below.

On subsequent recognition and measurement the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent management’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, even though the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. Subsequent recognition, derecognition, and measurement should be based on the grant date,new information. A liability for interest or penalties or both will be recognized as deemed to be incurred based on the calculated fair valueprovisions of the award. The Company has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award when estimating fair value. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee requisite service period, which in the Company’s circumstancestax law, that is, the stated vesting period for which the taxing authority will begin assessing the interest or penalties or both.

In June 2005,On October 2, 2006 the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Abstract No. 05-06, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements” (“EITF 05-6”). The pronouncement requires that leasehold improvementsCompany acquired in a business combination, or purchased subsequent to the inceptionall of the leaseremaining issued and not contemplated at or near the beginningoutstanding shares of the lease term, be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term that includes reasonably assured lease renewals as determined on the date of theHummingbird. For details relating to this acquisition of the leasehold improvement. This pronouncement is being applied prospectively for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired on or after July 1, 2005.

SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reportingthousands of changes in accounting principles and error corrections. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by new accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so. Certain disclosures are also required for restatements due to correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors, made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting changes and the nature of transitional guidance provided in future accounting pronouncements.U.S. Dollars, except per share data)

IXOS has pension commitments to employees as well as to current and previous members of its Executive Board.executive board. The actuarial cost method used in determining the net periodic pension cost, with respect to the IXOS employees, is the projected unit credit method. The liabilities and annual income or expense of the Company’s pension plan are determined using methodologies that involve various actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the long-term rate of return on assets. The Company’s policy is to deposit amounts with an insurance company to cover the actuarial present value of the expected retirement benefits. The total held in short-term investments as of September 30, 20052006 was $2.2$2.6 million, (June 30, 2005 – $2.32006 - $2.6 million), while the. The fair value of the pension obligation as of September 30, 20052006 was $2.8$3.0 million, (June 30, 2005 – $2.92006 - $3.0 million).

Asset retirement obligations

The Company is required to return certain of its leased facilities to their original state at the conclusion of the lease. The Company has accounted for such obligations in accordance with FASB SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”). At September 30, 2006, the present value of this obligation was $3.8 million, (June 30, 2006 - $3.9 million), with an undiscounted value of $4.8 million, (June 30, 2006 - $4.8 million). These leases were primarily assumed in connection with the IXOS acquisition.

Excess facility obligations and accruals relating to acquisitions

The Company has accrued for the cost of excess facilities both in connection with its Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2006 restructuring, as well as with a number of its acquisitions. These accruals represent the Company’s best estimate in respect of future sub-lease income and costs incurred to achieve

sub-tenancy. These liabilities have been recorded using present value discounting techniques and will be discharged over the term of the respective leases. The difference between the present value and actual cash paid for the excess facility will be charged to general and administrative expenseother income over the terms of the leases ranging between several months to 17 years. To the extent that the amount accrued is in excess of the estimated ultimate obligation, goodwill recognized on the acquisition will be reduced.

Transaction-related costs include amounts provided for certain pre-acquisition contingencies.

TheOn May 19, 2006, the Company operates in various tax jurisdictions,commenced a repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”) that provided for the repurchase of up to a maximum of 2,444,104 Common Shares. Purchase and accordingly,payment for the Company’s income is subject to varying ratesCommon Shares, under the Repurchase Program, will be determined by the Board of tax. Losses incurredDirectors of Open Text and will be made in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset income taxes payable in another. The Company’s ability to use income tax lossesaccordance with rules and future income tax deductions is dependent upon the profitable operations of the Company in the tax jurisdictions in which such losses or deductions arise. As of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $51.3 million and $46.8 million respectively, and total deferred tax liabilities of $36.7 million and $39.4 million, respectively.

The deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2005 arise primarily from available income tax losses and future income tax deductions. The Company provides a valuation allowance if sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of certain deferred tax assets. Based on the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, the character of the income tax assets and tax planning strategies, a valuation allowance of $130.8 million and $127.6 million was required as of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The majority of the valuation allowance relates to uncertainties regarding the utilization of foreign pre-acquisition losses of Gauss Interprise AG (“Gauss”) and IXOS. The Company continues to evaluate its taxable position quarterly and considers factors by taxing jurisdiction such as estimated taxable income, the history of losses for tax purposes and the growth of the Company, among others. The principal component of the total deferred tax liabilities arises from acquired intangible assets purchased on the Gauss and IXOS transactions.

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method of determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance.

The Company’s operations fall into one dominant industry segment, being enterprise content management software. The Company manages its operations, and accordingly determines its operating segments, on a geographic basis. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and Europe. The Company evaluates operating segment performance based on revenues and direct operating expenses of the segment, based on the location of the respective customers. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those of the Company.NASDAQ. The Repurchase Program will terminate on May 18, 2007.

Included in the following operating results are allocations of certain operating costs that are incurred in one reporting segment but which relate to all reporting segments. The allocations of these common operating costs are consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker of the Company allocates them for analysis. ForDuring the three months ended September 30, 2005, and 2004,2006, the “Other” category consistsCompany did not repurchase any of geographic regions other than North America and Europe.

Adjusted income from operating segments, which is the measure of operating performance used by the chief operating decision-maker, does not include amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges, share-based compensation, other expense and provision for income taxes. Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets have been assigned to segment assets based on the relative benefit that the reporting units are expected to receive from the assets, or the location of the acquired business operations to which they relate. These allocations have been made on a consistent basis.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share data)

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuationoption pricing model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123R123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) and United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, while the options issued by the Company are subject to both vesting and restrictions on transfer. In addition, option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. The Company uses historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimates the expected life of its stock options based upon historical data.

The Company does not believe the existing valuation models necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the weighted-average fair value of options granted, as of the grant date, was $7.50, using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 47%; risk-free interest rate of 4.3%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 4.5 years. A forfeiture rate of 5%, based on historical rates, was used to determine the net amount of compensation expense recognized.

For the three months ended September 30, 2005 no stock options were granted by the Company or had their terms modified. Company.

In addition,each of the above periods, no cash was used by the Company to settle equity instruments granted under share-based payment arrangements in the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the period was $8.27, using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%; risk-free interest rate of 3%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 3.5 years.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company offered its employees the opportunity to buy its Common Shares, through the ESPP at a purchase price equal to the lesser of 85% of the weighted average trading price of the Common Shares in the period of five trading days immediately preceding the first business day of the purchase period and 85% of the weighted average trading price of the Common Shares in the period of five trading days immediately preceding the last business day of the purchase period. The ESPP, under its original terms, qualified as non-compensatory plan under APB 25 and as such no compensation cost was recorded in relation to the discount offered to employees for purchases made under the ESPP.

The original terms of the ESPP would have resulted in it being treated as a compensatory plan under the fair value-based method. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company amended the terms of its ESPP to set the amount at which Common Shares may be purchased by employees to 95% of the average market price based on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) or Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”) on the last day of the purchase period. As a result of the amendments, the ESPP is no longer considered a compensatory plan under the provisions of SFAS 123R, and as a result no compensation cost has been recorded in relation to the ESPP forDuring the three months ended September 30, 2005.

2006, 22,209 Common Shares were issued under the ESPP for cash collected from employees totaling $305,000. In addition, cash in the amount $179,190 was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods.

NOTE 11 - ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS12—INCOME TAXES

The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions, and accordingly, the Company’s income is subject to varying rates of tax. Losses incurred in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset income taxes payable in another. The Company’s ability to use income tax losses and future income tax deductions is dependent upon the profitable operations of the Company in the tax jurisdictions in which such losses or deductions arise. As of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $62.1 million and $65.9 million respectively, and total deferred tax liabilities of $29.2 million and $31.7 million, respectively.

Deferred tax assets arise primarily from available income tax losses and future income tax deductions. The Company provides a valuation allowance if sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of certain deferred tax assets. Taking into account the following factors: (i) the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, (ii) projected future taxable income, (iii) the character of the income tax assets and (iv) tax planning strategies, a valuation allowance of $126.5 million and $127.5 million was required as of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The majority of the valuation allowance relates to uncertainties regarding the utilization of foreign pre-acquisition losses of Gauss Interprise AG (“Gauss”) and IXOS. The Company continues to evaluate its taxable position quarterly and considers factors by taxing jurisdiction such as estimated taxable income, the history of losses for tax purposes and the growth of the Company, among others. The principal component of the total deferred tax liabilities arises from acquired intangible assets purchased in the Gauss and IXOS transactions.

NOTE 13—SEGMENT INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for the reporting, by public business enterprises, of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method of determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance.

The Company’s operations fall into one dominant industry segment, being enterprise content management software. The Company manages its operations, and accordingly determines its operating segments, on a geographic basis. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and Europe. The Company evaluates operating segment performance based on revenues and direct operating expenses of the segment, based on the location of the respective customers. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies. No segments have been aggregated.

Included in the following operating results are allocations of certain operating costs that are incurred in one reporting segment but which relate to all reporting segments. The allocations of these common operating costs are consistent with the manner in which they are allocated for the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Company’s analysis. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the “Other” category consists of geographic regions other than North America and Europe. Revenues from transactions that both emanate and conclude within operating segments are not considered for the purpose of this disclosure since such transactions are not reviewed by the CODM.

Adjusted operating margin from operating segments does not include: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) provision for (recovery of) restructuring charges, (iii) other income (expense), (iv) share-based compensation and (v) provision for income taxes. Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets have been

The Company does not enter into off-balance sheet financing arrangements as a matter of practice except for the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment and vehicles. In accordance with U.SU.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

Domination agreements

IXOS domination agreements

On December 1, 2004, the Company announced that—through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 2016091 Ontario, Inc. (“Ontario I”)—that it had entered into a domination and profit transfer agreement (the “Domination Agreement”“IXOS DA”) with IXOS. The Domination Agreement has beenIXOS DA came into force in August 2005 when it was registered in the commercial register at the local court of Munich in August 2005 and it has therefore come into force.Munich. Under the terms of the Domination Agreement, Ontario I hasIXOS DA, Open Text acquired authority to issue directives to the management of IXOS. Also inwithin the Domination Agreement, Ontario I offersterms of the IXOS DA, Open Text offered to purchase the remaining Common Shares of IXOS for a cash purchase price of Euro 9.38 per share (“Purchase Price”) which was the weighted average fair value of the IXOS Common Shares as of December 1, 2004. Pursuant to the Domination Agreement, Ontario I also guaranteesAdditionally, Open Text has guaranteed a payment by IXOS to the minority shareholders of IXOS of an annual compensation of Euro 0.42 per share (“Annual Compensation”). At a meeting of

The IXOS DA was registered on August 23, 2005. In the shareholders of IXOS on January 14,quarter ended September 30, 2005, the shareholders authorizedCompany commenced accruing the management board of IXOS to apply for the withdrawal of the listing of the IXOS shares at the Frankfurt/Germany stock exchange (“Delisting”). The Delisting was granted by the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on April 12, 2005 and was effective on July 12, 2005.

Certain IXOS shareholders had filed complaints against the approval of the Domination Agreement and also against the authorization to delist. As a result of an out of court settlement the complaints have been withdrawn and or settled. The out of court settlement was ratified by the court on August 9, 2005. As a result of this ratification the Company recorded an amount of $144,000 as payable to minority shareholders of IXOS for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on account of Annual Compensation. This amount has been accounted for as a “guaranteed dividend”, payable to the minority shareholders, and has beenis recorded as a charge to minority interest in the earningsstatements of income.

Based on the number of minority IXOS shareholders as of September 30, 20052006, the estimated amount of Annual Compensation would approximate $580,000

per year.was approximately $130,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Because the Company is unable to predict, with reasonable accuracy, the number of IXOS minority shareholders that will be on record in future periods, the Company is unable to predict the amount of Annual Compensation that will be payable in future years.

Certain IXOS shareholders have filed for a procedure granted under German law at the district court of Munich, Germany, asking the court to review the proposed amount of the Annual Compensation and the Purchase Price (the “IXOS Appraisal Procedures”) for the amounts offered under the IXOS DA. It cannot be predicted at this stage, whether the court will increase the Annual Compensation and/or the Purchase Price in the IXOS Appraisal Procedures. The purchase offer made under the IXOS DA will expire at the end of the IXOS Appraisal Procedures.

These disputes are a normal and probable part of the process of acquiring minority shares in Germany. The costs associated with the above mentioned shareholder objections to the proposed fair value of the Annual Compensation and the Purchase Price are direct incremental costs associated with the ongoing step acquisitions of shares held by the minority shareholders and have been deferred within Goodwill pending the outcome of the objections. The Company is unable to predict the future costs associated with these activities that will be payable in future periods.

Gauss domination agreements

Pursuant to an Agreement of Controla domination agreement dated November 4, 2003 (the “Gauss DA”) between the Company—through its wholly owned subsidiary 2016090 Ontario Inc. (“Ontario II”)—Open Text and Gauss, Ontario IIOpen Text has offered to purchase the remaining outstanding shares of Gauss at a price of Euro 1.06 per Gauss share. The original acceptance period was two months after the signing of the Agreement of Control.share (the “Gauss Purchase Price I”). As a result of certain shareholders having filed for a special court procedure to reassessreview the proposed amount of the Annual CompensationGauss Purchase Price I that must be payable to minority shareholders as a result of the Agreement of Control,Gauss DA, the acceptance period has been extended pursuant to German law until the end of such proceedings. In addition, in April 2004 Gauss announced that effective July 1, 2004 the shares of Gauss would cease to be listed on a stock exchange. In connection with this delisting, on July 2, 2004, a second offer by Ontario IIOpen Text to purchase the remaining outstanding shares of Gauss at a price of Euro 1.06 per Gauss share, commenced. This acceptance period has also been extended pursuant to German law until the end of proceedings to reassess the amount of the consideration offered under German law in the delisting process. The shareholders’ resolution on the Agreement of ControlGauss DA and on the delisting was subject to a court procedure in which certain shareholders of Gauss claimclaimed that athe resolution by which the shareholders of shareholders respectingGauss approved of the Agreement of Controlentering into the Gauss DA and the authorization to the management board of Gauss to file for a delisting isare null and void. While the Court of First Instance rendered a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, Gauss, as defendant, had appealed and believed that the Court of Second Instance would overturn the judgment and rule in favor of Gauss. As a result of an out of court settlement, the complaints have been withdrawn. The settlement provides inter aliawithdrawn and it has been agreed between Open Text and the minority Gauss shareholders that an amount of Euro 0.05 per share per annum will be payable as compensation to the othercertain shareholders of Gauss under certain circumstances.circumstances, but only after registration of the Squeeze Out as defined hereafter.

In Germany, once ownership of 95% of the shares of a company is obtained, an acquirer can go through a “Squeeze-Out” process which is very similar to the Domination Agreement process. The only difference is if the Squeeze Out is registered, the shares of minority shareholders are transferred automatically—by virtue of the law—to the acquirer. On August 25, 2005, at the shareholders meeting of Gauss, upon a motion of Ontario II,Open Text, it was decided to transfer the shares of the minority shareholders, which at the time of the shareholdersshareholders’ meeting held less than 5% of the shares of Gauss, to Ontario II. Also the shareholders meeting decided to change the Domination Agreement between Gauss and Ontario II, it resolved to change the name to “OpenOpen Text AG” and the end of the fiscal year to June 30. The resolutions will become effective when registered in the commercial register at the local court of Hamburg.(“Squeeze Out”).

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, an impairment charge of $2.0 million was recorded against capital assets to write down to fair value, various leasehold improvements at vacated premises and redundant office equipment. Fair value was determined based on the Company’s best estimates of disposal proceeds, net of anticipated costs to sell.

Fiscal 2004 Restructuring

In the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $10 million relating primarily to its North America segment. The charge consisted primarily of costs associated with a workforce reduction, excess facilities associated with the integration of the IXOS acquisition, write downs of capital assets and legal costs related to the termination of facilities. All actions relating to employer workforce reductions were completed, and the related costs expended as of March 31, 2006. On a quarterly basis the Company conducts an evaluation of these balances and revises its assumptionassumptions and estimates. As part of this evaluation the Company recorded recoveries to this restructuring charge of $303,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005. These recoveries represented, primarily, reductions in estimated employee termination costs and recoveries in estimates, relating to accruals for abandoned facilities.

OVERVIEWOVERVIEW

About Open Text

Open Text isWe are one of the market leaders in providing Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) solutions that bring together people, processes and information. Our software combines collaboration with content management, transforming information into knowledge that provides the foundation for innovation, compliance and accelerated growth.

Purchase of Hummingbird Ltd. (“Hummingbird”)

Our legacyOn October 2, 2006, we successfully closed the purchase of innovation began in 1991 withHummingbird, a Toronto based, global provider of ECM solutions. This transaction was the successful deploymentculmination of an offer made by us, on July 2006 to purchase all of the world’s first search engine technology foroutstanding common shares of this company.

The approximate value of this all cash transaction was $494.0 million, inclusive of our earlier purchase, in June 2006, of approximately 4.3% of issued and outstanding shares of Hummingbird.

The transaction was financed by way of a $390.0 million term loan facility from a Canadian chartered bank, Hummingbird’s cash in the Internet. Today, we support almost 20amount of approximately $58.0 million seats across 13,000 deployments in 114 countries and 12 languages worldwide.

The Information technology (“IT”) Environment

the rest through the use of our available cash.

We are not seeing much change in the IT environment as customers appear to be holding onto their legacy systems longer. Also, the overall purchasing patterns of customers has had a positive impact onbelieve that this acquisition will enhance our results as customers utilize their existing IT budgets to spend on ECM solutions that assist in meeting regulatorysize and compliance requirements. This purchasing pattern has generally evolved in response to the heightened regulatoryglobal reach and compliance requirements in many industrieswill further solidify our position as a resultleading provider of government policy and legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley ActECM solutions. The union of 2002. However, lengthening customer sales cycles are characteristic with compliance-based sales.

Alliances

Our mid-term strategy is to work closer with partners, such as SAP and Microsoft, in order to respond more quickly to customers’ dynamic needs. By building close ties with strategic partners, we can leverage core competencies in ECM areas, such as archiving, records management, collaboration, search, workflow, document management and web content management, to embrace and expand on partner offerings.

Open Text isand Hummingbird will now strengthen our ability to reach a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner withwider, more diversified audience and as such we believe the acquisition of Hummingbird will create a track record for delivering powerful ECM solutionsstrong strategic fit that extend Microsoft applications. Microsoft’s desktopadds to our “solutions focus” and business platforms match well with our solutions, which meetwill increase the document management, archiving and compliance requirements of large companies and government agencies.

On September 19, 2005, we announced enhancements in our relationship with Microsoft. Open Text’s ECM solutions will connect directly with Microsoft’s ECM capabilities and extend the content created in “Office 12” into key business processes for industries such as Government, Pharmaceuticals, Energy, Media and Entertainment.

Our email archiving products are building momentum and we are seeing increased interest from customers in this area. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, we commenced working with Vedder Price, a legal firm specializing in compliance and legal discovery work, and also with TDCI Inc., an enterprise solutions provider, serving mid-market and

large organizations and Trusted Edge Inc., a company that is setting new standards in retention management and compliance software, to penetrate the legal “vertical” market with email archiving solutions.

Customers

Our customer base is diversified by industry and geography. This is the result of a continued focus on selling to the 2,000 largest global organizations as the primary target market. We continue to see regulatory requirements as a key business driver and the majority of new customer sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were driven by our customers’ compliance-based requirements. Industries such as Government, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences, Oil and Gas, and Financial Services have greater demand for specific software solutions to solve compliance-based business problems. We have created specific ECM software solutions to address this demand and continue to work closely with customers and their strategic partners to ensure maximization of their software investments.

We scored a number of competitive “wins” during the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

DuPont Inc., a leading manufacturer, purchased Livelink for SAP document management for 5,600 users;

Bayer Inc., a leading pharmaceutical company, purchased Livelink for email archiving of Lotus notes for 35,000 users; and

Palm Harbor Times, a provider of manufactured and modular homes, purchased Livelink for “production imaging” with the intention of supporting over 100 scanning stations and is to be used by approximately 300 users.

Special Charges

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we recorded special charges of $18.1 million. This is made up of $16.4 million of restructuring expenses, $2.0 million of capital asset write-downs and a recovery of $303,000 relating to the 2004 restructuring.

The 2006 restructuring relates primarily to a reduction in our workforce and abandonment of excess facilities. The restructuring has impacted both our North American and European operations. The restructuring is being done primarily with a view to streamline our operations. Overall we expect the total restructuring charge to be in the range of approximately $20 to $30 million. All significant actions in relation to the restructuring are expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal 2006 year.

The asset write-downs relate to capital assets that were written down to fair value, various leasehold improvements at vacated premises and redundant office equipment. Fair value was determined based on our best estimate of disposal proceeds, net of anticipated costs to sell.

Further details relating to Special charges are provided in the “Operating Expenses” section of this document.

Waterloo Building

In July 2004, we entered into a commitment to construct a building in Waterloo, Ontario, with the objective of consolidating our existing facilities in Waterloo. The construction of the building was completed in October, 2005. The facility consists of four floors and occupies approximately 112,000 square feet. We have financed this investment through our working capital. As of September 30, 2005, approximately $15.4 million had been capitalized on this project and on October 17, 2005 we commenced usage of the building.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), with the exceptionreach of our adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004) “Share-based payments” (“SFAS 123R”) as described below.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenues, bad debts, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed at the time to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results will differ, potentially materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions and estimates are outside of the Company’s control.

The critical accounting policies affecting significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements have been applied as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 filed with the SEC. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results will differ, potentially materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions and estimates are outside of our control.

Adoption of SFAS 123R

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value-based method for measurement and cost recognition of share-based compensation under the provisions of FASB SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective application transitional approach. Previously, we had been accounting for employee share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method, which generally did not result in any compensation cost being recorded for stock options where the exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

Our stock option plans are now accounted for under SFAS 123R. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, no options were granted by Open Text. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the fair value of each option was estimated using the following weighted –average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%; risk-free interest rate of 3%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 3.5 years. Expected option lives and volatilities are based on our historical data.

Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $1.4 million. Additionally, deferred tax assets of $169,000 were recorded in relation to the tax effect of certain stock options that are eligible for a tax deduction when exercised. As of September 30, 2005, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized is $10.6 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years.

We made no modifications to the terms of our outstanding share options in anticipation of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Also, we made no changes in either the quantity or type of instruments used in our share option plans or the terms of our share option plans.

Additionally, effective July 1, 2005, we amended the terms of our Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to set the amount at which shares may be purchased to 95% of the average market price on the last day of the purchase period. As a result of the amendments, the ESPP is no longer considered a compensatory plan under the provisions of SFAS 123R, and as a result no compensation cost is recorded related to the ESPP.global partner program.

The results for the three months ended September 30, 2005 are within our expectations and are in line with what we had set out to achieve within this period. Historically, In the first quarter of Fiscal 2006, our Board approved and we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and consolidate our excess facilities, (“Fiscal 2006 restructuring plan”). In this current quarter of Fiscal 2007, we are pleased to see our efforts materializing. Revenue has always been our lowest quarter.

Our total revenues increased 8.2% from $85.6 millionby 9.2% in the three months ended September 30, 20042006 compared to $92.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Before the impact of Special charges, the operating margin was 1.64% in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 versus a (0.7%) loss in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Our results foryear, while costs of revenue have increased only slightly by 3.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 were positively impacted by several large license deals that closed during the quarter. Approximately 29% of revenue this quarter was generated from new customers and 71% was generated from our installed base, which is in line with our performance in2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. As a result we have seen our gross profit increase by over 12.0% compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. We believe our Fiscal 2006 restructuring initiative has been successful and we expect to continue to see savings in Fiscal 2007. Absent the impact of the restructuring initiative, operating income increased by $9.0 million, in the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, due to a combination of stronger gross margins and a general decrease in operating loss in the aftermath of the restructuring initiative.

Going forward we will continue to strive to provide customers with an independent alternative to manage information in a compliant and transparent way, while ensuring that content is safe, searchable and readily accessible. We have already taken steps to solidify our position with the acquisition of Hummingbird. In addition, we are seeing the ECM market growing by approximately 8% to 12% a year. With respectthe acquisition of FileNet Inc. by IBM Corporation, in August 2006, we are now positioned as one of the largest independent providers of ECM solutions in the market, and we think that our independence will help us to compete more effectively, primarily because system integrators will appreciate our neutrality and will want to work with us, over vendors who may be seen as competitors.

We will also continue to adapt to market changes in the ECM sector by developing new solutions, leveraging our existing solutions and utilizing our partner programs to reach new customers, we have noted thatand to serve existing customers more effectively. We also expect to announce the majority“formal” release of these customers are purchasing email archiving and content management solutions for their business.

License Revenue

License revenue consists of fees earned from the licensing of software products to customers.

License revenue increased marginally in the three months ended September 30, 2005,2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to increases in license sales in Europe—which contributed to 90% of this increase along with an 11% increase contributed by 4.3% or $1.0 million.

During the first quarter“Other” countries and offset by a slight decrease in North America of fiscal 20061%. Overall, we had 3 transactions that were greater than $1 million versus one such transaction in the first quartergenerated 35% of fiscal 2005. In addition to this, there were 10 transactions which were greater than $500,000 versus 3 transactions in same quarter last year. Sales cycles are continuing to lengthen around larger deals as customers are electing to increase not just the size but also the “mix” of their ECM deployments. The average deal size during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was approximately $270,000 compared to $220,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

license revenue from new customers.

Customer Support Revenue

Customer support revenue consists of revenue from the Company’s software maintenance contracts andour customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. Customer support revenue is generated from such support and maintenance agreements relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. As our installed base grows, the renewal rate has a larger influence on customer support revenue than the current software revenue growth. Therefore, changes in customer support revenue do not necessarily correlate directly to the changes in license revenue in a given period. Typically the term of these support and maintenance contractsagreements is twelve months, with customer renewal options, and weoptions. We have historically experienced a 90% renewal rate over 90% but continue to encounter pricing pressure from our customers during contract negotiation and renewal. New license sales create additional customer support agreements which drives,contribute substantially to the increase in our customer support revenue. Additionally, customer

Customer support revenue is directly related to software licenses sold in prior periods.

Customer support revenues increased 14.4% from $40.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 20042006 compared to $46.6 millionthe same period in the three months ended September 30, 2005.The increaseprior fiscal year, primarily because we saw, (and in customer support revenues was attributable to strong retention rates with existing customersalmost equal amounts), increases in North America and Europe, offset by a marginal decrease in the “downstream” effect of licenses sold in prior quarters.other countries.

Service Revenue

Service revenue consists of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide training and integration services.

Service revenues remained relatively stable with a slight increase of 0.7% from $20.9 millionrevenue grew modestly in the three months ended September 30, 20042006, compared to $21.0 millionthe same period in the three months ended September 30, 2005.

prior fiscal year. We are pleased to see such growth, as historically service revenue is lower in the first quarter of the fiscal year due to both our employees and our customers taking vacation time during this period, resulting in lower billable hours. We continue to see demand in North America for our SAP related ECM services, with revenue from North America growing by approximately 12%. We expect this trend to continue in the future. Our growth in North America was offset by a decrease in revenue from our global services outside of North America.

The overall increaseOverall, we have seen increased revenue growth in North America was a directall three segments in which we operate. In the three months ended September 30, 2006, we have increased the number of our deal transactions by 5%, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. In addition, 11% of our transactions were the result of the ramping up of our sales forceglobal partner program, reinforcing our belief that was done in previous quarters.

our program continues to be successful.

In the context of license revenues, all regions contributed to the first quarter results, with North America accounting for 58.5%, while Europe and “Other” accounted for 41.5% of license revenues. This compares to 39.5% and 60.5%, respectively in the same quarter last year.

The North America geographic segment includes Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Revenues in North America increased in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the North American market showing greater interest in our ECM and SAP solutions. Overall, 48% of our revenue was generated from this segment in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Europe

The Europe geographic segment includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, whileKingdom.

Revenues in Europe increased strongly in the “Other”three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of significant growth in license and customer service revenues in Europe. We did particularly well in both the UK and the Nordic regions, however, the rest of Europe also met their targets.

Other

The “other” geographic segment includes Australia, Japan, Malaysia, and the Middle East region.

Revenues from our “other” segments increased only slightly in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted Operating Margin by Significant Segment

Europe

  9.3% 6.4%  16.7% 9.3%

The aboveOur adjusted operating margins have increased in all geographies in the first quarter of Fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2006 on account of our customers being increasingly interested in purchasing a complete ECM platform which generally involves a larger dollar value transaction. This has the effect of lengthening lead times for new and existing opportunities.

Adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. Such non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus our definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We use this financial measure to supplement the information provided in our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of adjusted operating margin is not meant to be a substitute for net income presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted operating margin is calculated based on net income (loss) before including the impact of amortization interest,of acquired intangibles, special charges, other income/expense, share-based compensation other expense, special chargesexpenses and the provision for taxes. These items are excluded based upon the manner in which our management evaluates our business. We believe the provision of this non-GAAP measure allows our investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of our core business using the same evaluation measures that we use to make decisions. As such we believe this non-GAAP measure is a useful indication of our performance or expected performance of recurring operations and may facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operating performance.

A reconciliation of our adjusted operating margin to net income taxes.as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP is provided below:

 

Adjusted operating margins in North America increased by 8.3% from 4.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 12.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and operating margins in Europe increased by 2.9% from 6.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 9.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. These variances were primarily the result of better management of expenses as a consequence of the restructuring that we undertook in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Additionally, the ramping up of the North American sales force that was initiated in fiscal 2005 is now beginning to show positive results.

Cost of license revenue

Cost of license revenue consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties and product media duplication, instruction manuals and packaging expenses.

Cost of license revenues has increased slightlymarginally in the three months ended September 30, 2005,2006, compared to the same quarter in comparisonthe prior fiscal year, primarily due to higher royalty and third party costs, in correlation with the increased license revenue we saw in this quarter compared to the same period last year, mainly due to increased third party costs, production and shipping costs and reseller fees offset by lower sub-contracting costs.

Cost of customer support revenues

Cost of customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and their related costs.

Cost of customer support revenues increased 2.1% from $7.5 milliondecreased slightly in the three months ended September 30, 20042006, compared to $7.7 millionthe same period in the three months ended September 30, 2005.

labor related expenses.

Cost of service revenues

Cost of service revenues consistconsists primarily of the costs of providing integration, customization and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant component of these costs is personnel related expenses. The other components include travel costs and third party subcontracting.

Cost of service revenues increased 11.7% from $16.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 20042006 compared to $18.6 millionthe same period in the prior fiscal year as a result of increased revenues. The increase in costs was lower than the increase in revenues, which favorably increased services’ gross margins in the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. This favorable increase in margins was in part due to a reclassification of revenue and expenses we made between Customer support and Service. For further details regarding this reclassification please see Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” under Part I of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Amortization of acquired technology intangible assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets includes the amortization of patents and customer assets. Amortization of acquired technology is included as an element of cost of sales. The slight increase in amortization of acquired technology intangible assets in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Gross margins decreased from 20.3%2006, compared to the same period in the three months ended September 30, 2004 to 11.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Research and development expenses increased from $14.7decreased by $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $16.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005. The absolute dollar increase is attributable to share-based compensation costs of $445,000, and approximately $1.2 million relating2006 compared to the cost of coding and development modules that are sold as “license add-ons” and other development costs. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses remained stable at 17.9%same period in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 versus 17.2% in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation costs related to salespersonnel expenses and marketing personnel, as well as costs associated with advertising and trade shows.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 2.4% from $25.5 milliondeclined marginally by $344,000 in the three months ended September 30, 20042006 compared to $26.1 millionthe same period in the three months ended September 30, 2005.prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease of labor and overhead and office expenses. The absolute dollardecrease in these expenses was as a result of our Fiscal 2006 restructuring initiative. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in salesour commission and marketingother related operating expenses, inas the first quarterresult of 2006 relates primarily to share-based compensation expense of $544,000.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries of administrative personnel, related overhead, facility expenses, audit fees, consulting expenses and public company costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased 12.0% from $11.9 millionslightly by $379,000 in the three months ended September 30, 20042006 compared to $10.4 millionthe same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily the result of savings from our compliance and regulatory fees, which we achieved as the result of efficiencies gained from operating improvements.

Share-based compensation expense

On July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value-based method for measurement and cost recognition of employee share-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective application transitional approach. Previously, we had been accounting for employee share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method, which generally did not result in any compensation cost being recorded for stock options since the exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Under SFAS 123R, we estimate the fair value of each option granted on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

For the three months ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage2006, the weighted-average fair value of total revenues, generaloptions granted, as of the grant date, was $7.50 using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 47%; risk-free interest rate of 4.3%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and administrative expenses decreased from 13.9% to 11.3%expected life of total revenues in the same period. The absolute dollar decrease in general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2006 over the same period in 2005 relates primarily to a decrease of $929,000 relating to consulting and an additional decrease of $515,000 of legal expenses.4.5 years.

Depreciation expenses

Depreciation expenses increased slightly by $110,000We granted no stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared2005.

Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $1.3 million. Additionally, deferred tax assets of $171,000 were recorded as of September 30, 2006 in relation to the tax effect of certain stock options that are eligible for a tax deduction when exercised. As of September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized is $10.9 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase2005 was approximately $1.4 million.

As of September 30, 2005, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized was $10.6 million which is to be recognized over a direct resultweighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Depreciation expenses

Depreciation expenses increased marginally in three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, due to the inclusion of the deprecation of our Waterloo building on which depreciation of capital assets acquired duringcommenced only in the firstsecond quarter of fiscalFiscal 2006.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets includes the amortization of acquired technologypatents and customer assets.

Amortization of acquired technology is included as an element of cost of sales. The increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets increased 26.2% from $5.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 20042006, compared to $6.9 millionthe same period in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Theprior fiscal year, is the result of additional amortization resulting from the increase is due to the impactin our ownership of the 2005 acquisitions, in particular the acquisition of Vista.

Special Chargescharges (recoveries)

Fiscal 2007 Restructuring

On October 5, 2006, we committed to a plan to terminate various employees and abandon certain real estate facilities as part of our integration with Hummingbird. We are currently in the process of determining the estimates

of the amounts expected to be incurred in connection with this initiative. As part of this integration, we are reducing our worldwide workforce of 3,500 people by approximately 15 percent. The restructuring actions commenced in October 2006 and to date, approximately 60 percent of these reductions have been completed. The remaining staff reductions are expected to be completed by the end of November, 2006. The staff reductions will be focused on redundant positions or areas of the business that are not consistent with the company’s strategic focus. We are also reducing 38 facilities by closing or consolidating offices in certain locations.

Fiscal 2006 Restructuring

In the first quarter ended September 30, 2005, we recorded Special charges of $18.1 million. This is made up of $16.4 million relating to theFiscal 2006, restructuring and $2.0 million relating to the write down of capital assets and a recovery of $303,000 (related to the 2004 restructuring).

2006 Restructuring

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, theour Board approved, and we commenced implementing,began to implement restructuring activities to streamline itsour operations and consolidate itsour excess facilities.facilities (“Fiscal 2006 restructuring plan”). These charges relate to work force reductions, abandonment of excess facilities and other miscellaneous direct costs. Total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2006 restructuring plan are expected to be in the rangeapproximately $22.0 million. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of $20 million to $30 million, of which $16.4 million has been recorded within Special charges inthese balances and revise our assumptions and estimates, as appropriate. In the three months ended September 30, 2005. The charge consisted primarily2006, we recorded recoveries from special charges of costs associated with workforce reduction, abandonment of excess facilities, and legal costs incurred related to the termination of facilities.$468,000. The provision related to workforce reduction is expected to be substantially paid by June 30,December 31, 2006 and the provisionprovisions relating to the abandonment of excess facilities, such as contract settlements and lease costs, isare expected to be paid by January 2014.

Fiscal 2004 Restructuring

In the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $10 million relating primarily to itsour North America segment. The charge consisted primarily of costs associated with a workforce reduction, excess facilities associated with the integration of the IXOS acquisition, write downs of capital assets and legal costs related to the termination of facilities. On a quarterly basis we conduct an evaluation of these balances and we revise our assumptionassumptions and estimates. As part of this evaluation we recorded recoveries to this restructuring charge of $303,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005. These recoveries represented, primarily, reductions in estimated employee termination costs and recoveries in estimates, relating to accruals for abandoned facilities. Theas appropriate.

Income taxes

We operate in variousrecorded a tax jurisdictions, and accordingly, our income is subject to varying ratesprovision of tax. Losses incurred in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset income taxes payable in another. Our ability to use these income tax losses and future income tax deductions is dependent upon our operations in$4.3 million for the tax jurisdictions in which such losses or deductions arise. As of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, we had total net deferred tax assets of $51.3 million and $46.8 million and total deferred tax liabilities of $36.7 million and $39.4 million, respectively.

The principal component of the total net deferred tax assets are temporary differences associated with net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2005 arise primarily from available income tax losses and future income tax deductions. We provide a valuation allowance if sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of certain deferred tax assets. Based on the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, the character of the income tax assets and tax planning strategies, a valuation allowance of $130.8 million and $127.6 million was required as of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The majority of the valuation allowance relates to uncertainties regarding the utilization of foreign pre-acquisition losses of Gauss and IXOS. We continue to evaluate our taxable position quarterly and consider factors by taxing jurisdiction such as estimated taxable income, the history of losses for tax purposes and our growth, among others. The principal component of the total deferred tax liabilities arises from acquired intangible assets purchased on the Gauss and IXOS transactions.

During the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded2006 compared to a tax recovery of $4.4 million compared to a tax recovery of $325,000 duringfor the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2004.

2005. This is as a result of positive net income in the current quarter (versus a loss in the same period in the prior fiscal year) and the impact of higher income being earned in jurisdictions with a higher statutory rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $13.1 million from $79.9 million as of June 30, 2005 to $66.8 million as of September 30, 2005. This reduction is attributable primarily to the following payments: acquisition of capital assets of $5.9 million; further purchases of IXOS shares of $3.1 million; and payments relating to the prior period acquisitions of $3.2 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.4decreased by approximately $7.0 million induring the three months ended September 30, 20052006 compared to $38.7the same period in the prior fiscal year. The overall decrease was due to a reduction in capital expenditures of $3.2 million, and reduced spending on prior period acquisitions (including IXOS) of $6.1 million. The decrease was offset by an increase in acquisition related costs of $2.3 million, which includes a payment of $829,000 for the open market purchase of Hummingbird shares in June 2006.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing increased marginally by $274,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004. The reduction in usage of cash related to investing activities and was due to the fact that we did not make any acquisitions during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as2006 compared to the two acquisitions that we made in the same period in the prior fiscal year which amountedyear. This increase was primarily due to $28.7 million. Net cash used in investing activitiesincreased proceeds on issuance of our common shares, offset by payments we made relating to our mortgage financing.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $243,000 induring the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, comparedrespectively.

The long-term debt obligations are comprised of interest and principal payments on our 5 year mortgage on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario. For details relating to net cash usedthis mortgage see Note 8 “Long-term debt and credit facilities” in financing activitiesour Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

IXOS domination agreements

Based on the number of $12.2 million inminority IXOS shareholders as of September 30, 2006, the estimated amount of Annual Compensation payable to IXOS minority shareholder was approximately $130,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The significant reduction of cash outflows on account of financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the fact that we did not re-purchase any of our Common Shares. In addition, effective from July 1, 2005, we reduced the discount at which our employees can buy Open Text shares, under the ESPP, from 15% to 5%. This had the effect of significantly reducing the collections under the ESPP. The reduction in the discount was done so as to allow the ESPP to continue to be treated as a non-compensatory plan under SFAS 123R.

We have a CDN $10.0 million (U.S. $8.6 million) line of credit with a Canadian chartered bank, under which no borrowings were outstanding at September 30, 2005 and 2004. The line of credit bears interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.5% and is cancelable at any time at the option of the bank. We have pledged certain of our assets including an assignment of accounts receivable as collateral for this line of credit.

We are investigating additional financing options in the form of a mortgage on our new Waterloo property. However as of the date of this filing, no specific financing option has been concluded upon.

We financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily with cash flows generated from operations. We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents and available credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

In July 2004, we entered into a commitment to construct a building in Waterloo, Ontario with a view of consolidating our existing Waterloo facilities. The construction of the building was completed in October 2005 and we have since commenced the use of the building. As of September 30, 2005, a total of $15.4 million has been capitalized on this project. We have financed this investment through our working capital.

Domination agreements

IXOS Domination Agreement

Certain IXOS shareholders had filed complaints against the approval of the Domination Agreement and also against the authorization to delist. As a result of an out of court settlement, the complaints have been withdrawn and or settled. The out of court settlement was ratified by the court on August 9, 2005. As a result of this ratification, we recorded an amount of $144,000 as payable to minority shareholders of IXOS for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on account of Annual Compensation. This amount has been accounted for as a “guaranteed dividend”, payable to the minority shareholders, and has been recorded as a charge to the earnings of the period. The estimated amount of Annual Compensation is currently expected to be approximately $580,000.2006. Because we are unable to predict, with reasonable accuracy, the number of IXOS minority shareholders that will be on record in future periods, we are unable to predict the amount of compensationAnnual Compensation that will be recordedpayable in future years.

Gauss Domination Agreement

We recorded anCertain IXOS shareholders have filed for a procedure granted under German law at the district court of Munich, Germany, asking the court to review the proposed amount of $53,000 asthe Annual Compensation and the Purchase Price for the amounts offered under the IXOS DA. It cannot be predicted at this stage, whether the court will increase the Annual Compensation and/or the Purchase Price.

The costs associated with the above mentioned procedure are direct incremental costs associated with the ongoing step acquisitions of shares held by the minority shareholders. These disputes are a normal and probable part of the process of acquiring minority shares in Germany. We are unable to predict the future costs associated with these activities that will be payable in future periods.

For further details relating to the IXOS domination agreement refer to Note 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” in our Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gauss Squeeze Out

The Gauss Squeeze court administered process was successfully concluded in October 2006 and registered with the local court in Hamburg.

We have recorded our best estimate of the amount payable to the minority shareholders of Gauss and aunder the Squeeze Out. As of September 30, 2006, we had accrued $82,500 for such payments.

For further amount of approximately $22,500 will be payable to these shareholders by the end of the 2006 fiscal year.

Guarantees and indemnifications

We have entered into license agreements with customers that include limited intellectual property indemnification clauses. We generally agree to indemnify our customers against legal claims that our software products infringe certain third party intellectual property rights. In the event of such a claim, we are generally obligated to defend our customers against the claim and either to settle the claim at our expense or pay damages that the customers are legally required to paydetails relating to the third-party claimant. These intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses generally are subjectGauss Squeeze Out refer to limits based upon the amount of the license sale. We have not made any significant indemnification paymentsNote 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” in relationour Unaudited Notes to these indemnification clauses.

In connection with certain facility leases, we have guaranteed payments on behalf of our subsidiaries. This has been done through unsecured bank guarantees obtained from local banks. Additionally, our current end-user license agreement contains a limited software warranty.

We have not recorded a liability for guarantees, indemnities or warranties described above in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet since the maximum amount of potential future payments under such guarantees, indemnities and warranties is not determinable, other than as described above.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation

We are subject from time to time to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, our management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on itsour consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice except for the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment, and vehicles. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the thresholdscriteria for capitalization.

Cautionary StatementsRecently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements,(“SAB 108”).SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB 108 is effective for our fiscal year 2007 annual financial statements. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SAB 108 will have on our financial statements.

Certain statementsIn September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in this Quarterly Reportgenerally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements withinhow to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the meaningsource of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Actinformation. This statement is effective for us beginning July 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of 1995SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 on Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, an entity should presume that a taxing authority will examine a tax position when evaluating the position for recognition and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27Ameasurement; therefore, assessment of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21Eprobability of the Securities Exchange Actrisk of 1934, as amended.

If we do not continue to develop new technologically advanced products, future revenues will be negatively affected

Our success depends upon on our ability to design, develop, test, market, license and support new software products and enhancements of current products on a timely basis in response to both competitive products and evolving demands of the marketplace. In addition, new software products and enhancements must remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. We continue to enhance the capability of our Livelink software to enable users to form workgroups and collaborate on intranets and the Internet. We increasingly must integrate software licensed or acquired from third parties with our own software to create or improve our products. These products are important to the success of our strategy, and we may not be successful in developing and marketing these and other new software products and enhancements. If we are unable to successfully integrate the technologies licensed or acquired from third parties, to develop new software products and enhancements to existing products, or to complete products currently under development, or if such integrated or new products or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our operating results will materially suffer. In addition, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our software products could be rendered obsolete and our business would be materially harmed.

If our products and services do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to increase our revenues

We intend to pursue our strategy of growing the capabilities of our ECM software offerings through the in-house research and development of new product offerings. We continue to enhance Livelink and many of our optional components to continue to set the standard for ECM capabilities, in response to customer requests. The primary market for our software and services is rapidly evolving. As is typical in the case of a rapidly evolving industry, demand for and market acceptance of products and services that have been released recently or that are planned for future release are subject to a high level of uncertainty. If the markets for our products and services fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become saturated with competitors, our business will suffer. We may be unable to successfully market our current products and services, develop new software products, services and enhancements to current products and services, complete customer installations on a timely basis, or complete products and services currently under development. If our products and services or enhancements do not achieve and sustain market acceptance, our business and operating results will be materially harmed.

Current and future competitors could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits

The markets for our products are intensely competitive, subject to rapid technological change and are evolving rapidly. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the future as the markets for our products continue to develop and as additional companies enter each of our markets. Numerous releases of products that compete with us are continually occurring and can be expected to continue in the near future. We may not be able to compete effectively with current and future competitors. If competitors were to engage in aggressive pricing policies with respect to competing products, or significant price competition was to otherwise develop, we would likely be forced to lower our prices. This could result in lower revenues, reduced margins, loss of customers, or loss of market share for us.

Acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and other business initiatives may negatively affect our operating results

We continue to seek out opportunities to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that expand, complement or are otherwise related to our current business. We also consider from time to time, opportunities to engage in joint ventures or other business collaborations with third parties to address particular market segments. These activities create risks such as the need to integrate and manage the businesses and products acquired with our own business and products, additional demands on our management, resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of our ongoing business, and diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Moreover, these transactions could involve substantial

investment of funds and/or technology transfers and the acquisition or disposition of product lines or businesses. Also, such activities could result in one-time charges and expenses and have the potential to either dilute the interests of existing shareholders or result in the assumption of debt. Such acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other business collaborations may involve significant commitments of financial and other resources of our company. Any such activity may not be successful in generating revenue, income or other returns to us, and the financial or other resources committed to such activities will not be available to us for other purposes. Our inability to address these risks could negatively affect our operating results.

Businesses we acquire may have disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting that are weaker than or otherwise not in conformity with ours

We have a history of acquiring complementary businesses with varying levels of organizational size and complexity. Upon consummating an acquisition, we seek to implement our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at the acquired company as promptly as possible. Depending upon the size and complexity of the business acquired, the implementation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at an acquired company may be a lengthy process. Typically we conduct due diligence prior to consummating an acquisition, however, our integration efforts may periodically expose deficiencies in the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting of an acquired company. We expect that the process involved in completing the integration of our own disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at an acquired business will sufficiently correct any identified deficiencies. However, if such deficiencies exist, we may not be in a position to comply with our periodic reporting requirements and our business and financial condition may be materially harmed.

The length of our sales cycle can fluctuate significantly which could result in significant fluctuations in license revenue being recognized from quarter to quarter

Because the decision by a customer to purchase our products often involves relatively large-scale implementation across our customer’s network or networks, licenses of these products may entail a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers, accompanied by the attendant risks and delays frequently associated with significant expenditures and lengthy sales cycle and implementation procedures. Given the significant investment and commitment of resources required by an organization in order to implement our software, our sales cycle tends to take considerable time to complete. Over the past fiscal year, we have experienced a lengthening of our sales cycle as customers include more personnel in the decision-making process and focus on more enterprise-wide licensing deals. In an economic environment of reduced information technology spending, it can take several months, or even quarters, for sales opportunities to translate into revenue. If a customer’s decision to license our software is delayed and the installation of our products in one or more customers takes longer than originally anticipated, the date on which revenue from these licenses could be recognized would be delayed. Such delays could cause our revenues to be lower than expected in a particular period.

Our international operations expose us to business risks that could cause our operating results to suffer

We intend to continue to make efforts to increase our international operations and anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenue. We have increased our presence in the European market, especially since our acquisition of IXOS. These international operations are subject to certain risks and costs, including the difficulty and expense of administering business and compliance abroad, compliance with both domestic and foreign laws, compliance with domestic and international import and export laws and regulations, costs related to localizing products for foreign markets, and costs related to translating and distributing products in a timely manner. International operations also tend to expose us to a longer sales and collection cycle, as well as potential losses arising from currency fluctuations, and limitations regarding the repatriation of earnings. Significant international sales may also expose us to greater risk from political and economic instability, unexpected changes in Canadian, United States or other governmental policies concerning import and export of goods and technology, other regulatory requirements and tariffs and other trade barriers. In addition, international earnings may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, which could also materially adversely affect our results of operations. Also, international expansion may be more difficult, time consuming, and costly. As a result, if revenues from international operations do not offset the expenses of establishing and maintaining foreign operations, our operating results will suffer. Moreover, in any given quarter, exchange rates can impact revenue adversely.

Our products may contain defects that could harm our reputation, be costly to correct, delay revenues, and expose us to litigation

Our products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, may contain design defects or software errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors may be found in new software products or improvements to existing products after commencement of commercial shipments, and, if discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct such errors in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, despite the tests we carry out on all our products, we may not be able to fully

simulate the environment in which our products will operate and, as a result, we may be unable to adequately detect design defects or software errors inherent in our products and which only become apparent when the products are installed in an end-user’s network. The occurrence of errors and failures in our products could result in loss of, or delay in market acceptance of our products, and alleviating such errors and failures in our products could require us to make significant expenditure of capital and other resources. The harm to our reputation resulting from product errors and failures would be damaging. We regularly provide a warranty with our products and the financial impact of these warranty obligations may be significant in the future. Our agreements with our strategic partners and end-users typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to claims, such as exclusions of all implied warranties and limitations on the availability of consequential or incidental damages. However, such provisions may not effectively protect us against claims and related liabilities and costs. Although we maintain errors and omissions insurance coverage and comprehensive liability insurance coverage, such coverage may not be adequate and all claims may not be covered. Accordingly, any such claim could negatively affect our financial condition.

Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, which could result in significant costs to defend and if we are not successful it could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits

Although we do not believe that our products infringe on the rights of third-parties, third-parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future, and any such assertions may result in costly litigation or require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third-parties. Such licenses may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. In particular, as software patents become more prevalent, it is possible that certain parties will claim that our products violate their patents. Such claims could be disruptive to our ability to generate revenue and may result in significantly increased costs as we attempt to license the patents or rework our products to ensure that they are not in violation of the claimant’s patents or dispute the claims. Any of the foregoing could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits.

The loss of licenses to use third party software or the lack of support or enhancement of such software could adversely affect our business

We currently depend on certain third-party software, the loss of which could result in increased costs of, or delays in, licenses of our products. For a limited number of product modules, we rely on certain software that we licenses from third-parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and which is used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, and the related software may not continue to be appropriately supported, maintained, or enhanced by the licensors. The loss of license to use, or the inability of licensors to support, maintain, and enhance any of such software, could result in increased costs, delays, or reductions in product shipments until equivalent software is developed or licensed, if at all, and integrated, and could adversely affect our business.

A reduction in the number or sales efforts by distributors could materially impact our revenues

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the license of our products through third parties. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to maintain access to existing channels of distribution and to gain access to new channels if and when they develop. We may not be able to retain a sufficient number of our existing or future distributors. Distributors may also give higher priority to the sale of other products (which could include products of competitors) or may not devote sufficient resources to marketing our products. The performance of third party distributors is largely outside of our control and we are unable to predict the extent to which these distributors will be successful in marketing and licensing our products. A reduction in sales efforts, a decline in the number of distributors, or the discontinuance of sales of our products by our distributors could lead to reduced revenue.

Our success depends on ours relationships with strategic partners

We rely on close cooperation with partners for product development, optimization, and sales. If any of our partners should decide for any reason to terminate or scale back their cooperative efforts with us, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our expenses may not match anticipated revenues

We incur operating expenses based upon anticipated revenue trends. Since a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in recognizing revenue from license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in operating losses. If these expenses precede, or are not subsequently followed by, increased revenues, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in July 2005, we announced an initiative to restructure our operations with the intention of streamlining our operations. We will continue to evaluate our operations, and may propose future restructuring actions as a result of

changes in the marketplace, including the exit from less profitable operations or services no longer demanded by our customers. Any failure to successfully execute these initiatives, including any delay in effecting these initiatives, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We must continue to manage our growth or our operating results could be adversely affected

Over the past several years, we have experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and product distribution channels. In addition, our markets have continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Moreover, we have grown significantly through acquisitions in the past and continue to review acquisition opportunities as a means of increasing the size and scope of our business. Finally, we have been subject to increased regulation, including various NASDAQ rules and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes”), which has necessitated a significant use of company resources to comply on a timely basis. Our growth, coupled with the rapid evolution of our markets and the new heightened regulations, have placed, and are likely to continue to place, significant strains on our administrative and operational resources and increased demands on our internal systems, procedures and controls. Our administrative infrastructure, systems, procedures and controls may not adequately support our operations or compliance with such regulations, and our management may not be able to achieve the rapid, effective execution of the product and business initiatives necessary to successfully penetrate the markets for our products and services and to successfully integrate any business acquisitions in the future to comply with all regulatory rules. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, or comply with such new regulations, our operating results will likely suffer and we may not be in a position to comply with our periodic reporting requirements or listing standards, which could result in our delisting from the NASDAQ National Market.

Recently enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and related regulations could result in increased costs to us

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, includingapplying the provisions of SarbanesFIN 48, there will be distinct recognition and recent rules enactedmeasurement evaluations. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize will be measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not, to be realized. The tax position should be derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. On subsequent recognition and proposed bymeasurement the SECmaximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent management’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, even though the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. Subsequent recognition, derecognition, and NASDAQ, have resultedmeasurement should be based on new information. A liability for interest or penalties or both will be recognized as deemed to be incurred based on the provisions of the tax law,

that is, the period for which the taxing authority will begin assessing the interest or penalties or both. The amount of interest expense recognized will be based on the difference between the amount recognized in increased coststhe financial statements and the benefit recognized in the tax return. On transition, the change in net assets due to usapplying the provisions of the final interpretation will be considered as we responda change in accounting principle with the cumulative effect of the change treated as an offsetting adjustment to the new requirements. In particular, complying withopening balance of retained earnings in the internal control over financial reporting requirementsperiod of Section 404transition. FIN 48 will be effective as of Sarbanes is resulting in increased internal costs and higher fees from our independent accounting firm and external consultants. The new rules also could make it more difficult for us to obtain certain typesthe beginning of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage and/or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, on committees of our Board of Directors, or as executive officers. We cannot yet estimate the amount of total additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs as we implement these new and proposed rules.

Our products rely on the stability of various infrastructure software that, if not stable, could negatively impact the effectiveness of our products, resulting in harm to our reputation and business

Our developments of Internet and Intranet applications dependfirst annual period beginning after December 15, 2006 and will depend on the stability, functionality and scalability of the infrastructure software of the underlying intranet, such as that of Sun Microsystems Inc., Hewlett Packard Company, Oracle Corp., Microsoft Inc. and others. If weaknesses in such infrastructure software exist, we may not be able to correct or compensate for such weaknesses. If we are unable to address weaknesses resulting from problems in the infrastructure software such that our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, our business and reputation may be significantly harmed.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate which could materially impact the price of the our Common Shares

We experience, and we are likely to continue to experience, significant fluctuations in quarterly revenues and operating results caused by many factors, including changes in the demand for our products, the introduction or enhancement of productsadopted by us and our competitors, market acceptance of enhancements or products, delays infor the introduction of products or enhancements by us or our competitors, customer order deferrals in anticipation of upgrades and new products, lengthening sales cycles, changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors, delays involved in installing products with customers, the mix of distribution channels through which productsyear ended June 30, 2008. We are licensed, the mix of products and services sold, the timing of restructuring charges taken in connection with acquisitions completed by us, the mix of international and North American revenues, foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and general economic conditions.

A cancellation or deferral of even a small number of licenses or delays in installations of our products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular quarter. Because ofcurrently assessing the impact of the timing of product introductions and the rapid evolution of our business and the markets we serve, we cannot predict whether seasonal patterns experienced in the past will continue. For these reasons, reliance should not be placed upon period-to-period comparisons ofFIN 48 on our financial results to forecast future performance. It is likely that our quarterly revenue and operating results will vary

significantly in the future and if a shortfall in revenue occurs or if operating costs increase significantly, the market price of our Common Shares could materially decline.statements.

 

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete effectively

We are highly dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be successful. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. Subject to patents and patents pending, we have generally not sought patent protection for our products. While U.S. and Canadian copyright laws, international conventions and international treaties may provide meaningful protection against unauthorized duplication of software, the laws of some foreign jurisdictions may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of Canada or the United States. Software piracy has been, and can be expected to be, a persistent problem for the software industry. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights may be difficult, particularly in some nations outside of the United States and Canada in which we seek to market our products. Despite the precautions we take, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties, including competitors, to copy certain portions of our products or to “reverse engineer” or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.

If we are not able to attract and retain top employees, our ability to compete may be harmed

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could significantly harm our business. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. Our success is also highly dependent on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train, retain and motivate highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel. Specifically, the recruitment of top research developers, along with experienced salespeople, remains critical to our success. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to attract, integrate or retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future.

The volatility of our stock price could lead to losses by shareholders

The market price of our Common Shares has been volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations in market price may continue in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or other events or factors. In addition, financial markets experience significant price and volume fluctuations that particularly affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies and these fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies or resulted from the failure of the operating results of such companies to meet market expectations in a particular quarter. Broad market fluctuations or any failure of our operating results in a particular quarter to meet market expectations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares, resulting in losses to shareholders. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation have often been instituted against such a company. Due to the volatility of our stock price, we could be the target of securities litigation in the future. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities

We are subject to income taxes and non-income taxes in a variety of jurisdictions and our tax structure is subject to review by both domestic and foreign taxation authorities. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relates primarily to our investment portfolio, since we had no borrowings outstanding under our line of credit at September 30, 2005. We primarily invest our cash in short-term high-quality securities with reputable financial institutions. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. The interest income from our investments is subject to interest rate fluctuations, which we believe would not have a material impact on our financial position.

All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. We do not have investments with maturities of three months or greater. Some of the investments that we have invested in may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in the prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. The impact on net interest income of a 100 basis point adverse change in interest rates for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 would have been a decrease of approximately $0.6 million.

Foreign currency risk

Businesses generally conduct transactions in their local currency which is also known as their functional currency. Additionally, balances that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s reporting currency must be adjusted to reflect changes in foreign exchange rates during the reporting period.

As we operate internationally, a substantial portion of our business is also conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, our results are affected, and may be affected in the future, by exchange rate fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, to various European currencies, and, to a lesser extent, other foreign currencies. Revenues and expenses generated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates during the month in which the transaction occurs. We cannot predict the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the future; however, if significant foreign exchange losses are experienced, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Moreover, in any given quarter, exchange rates can impact revenue adversely.

We have net monetary asset and liability balances in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, including primarily the Canadian DollarEuro (“CDN”EUR”), the Pound Sterling (“GBP”), the Australian dollarCanadian Dollar (“AUD”CDN”), and the Swiss Franc (“CHF”), the Danish Kroner (“DKK”), the Arabian Dirham (“AED”), and the Euro (“EUR”). Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in U.S. Dollars. WeCurrently, we do not currently use financial instruments to hedge operating expenses in foreign currencies. We intend to assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

The following tables provide a sensitivity analysis on our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. For foreign currencies where we engage in material transactions, the following table quantifies the absolute impact that a 10% increase/decrease against the U.S. dollar would have had on our total revenues, operating expenses, and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005.2006. This analysis is presented in both functional and transactional currency. Functional currency represents the currency of measurement for each of an entity’s domestic and foreign operations. Transactional currency represents the currency in which the underlying transactions take place in.place. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates for those foreign currencies not presented in these tables is not material.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controlsDisclosure Controls and proceduresProcedures

As of September 30, 2005, the Company’send of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’sour disclosure controls and procedures pursuant toas defined in Rule 13a13a-15 (e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2005, the Company’send of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’sour reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.1A.Legal ProceedingsRisk Factors

Risk Factors

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbors created by those sections. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks as well as uncertainties, including those discussed in the following cautionary statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The actual results that we achieve may differ materially from any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. You should carefully review the following factors, as well as the other information set forth herein, when evaluating us and our business. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading price of our Common Shares would likely decline. Such risks are further discussed from time to time in our filings filed from time to time with the SEC.

Our acquisition of Hummingbird may adversely affect our operations and finances in the short term

On October 2, 2006 we acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Hummingbird Ltd.(“Hummingbird”) for a price of $27.85 per share, which equaled a total purchase price of approximately $494.0 million. The Hummingbird shares were acquired for cash, which required us to borrow the funds from a syndicate of leading financial institutions to help to pay for the Hummingbird acquisition. The interest costs associated with this credit facility will materially increase our operating expenses, which may materially and adversely affect our profitability and the price of our Common Shares. The Hummingbird acquisition represents a significant opportunity for our business. However, the size of the acquisition and the inevitable integration challenges that will result from the acquisition may divert management’s attention from the normal coursedaily operations of our existing businesses, products and services. We cannot ensure that we will be successful in retaining key Hummingbird employees and our operations may be disrupted if we fail to adequately retain and motivate all of the employees of the newly merged entity.

Our success depends on our relationships with strategic partners

We rely on close cooperation with partners for sales and product development as well as to optimize opportunities which arise in our competitive environment. If any of our partners should decide for any reason to terminate or scale back their cooperative efforts with us, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

If we do not continue to develop new technologically advanced products, future revenues will be negatively affected

Our success depends upon our ability to design, develop, test, market, license and support new software products and enhancements of current products on a timely basis in response to both competitive products and evolving demands of the marketplace. In addition, new software products and enhancements must remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. We continue to enhance the capability of our Livelink software to enable users to form workgroups and collaborate on private intranets as well as on the Internet. Often, we must integrate software licensed or acquired from third parties with our own software to create or improve our products. These products are important to the success of our strategy, and if we are unable to achieve a successful integration with third party software, we may not be successful in developing and marketing our new software products and enhancements. If we are unable to successfully integrate the technologies licensed or acquired from third parties, to develop new software products and enhancements to existing products, or to complete products currently under development, our operating results will materially suffer. In addition, if the

integrated or new products or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our operating results will materially suffer. Also, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our software products could be rendered obsolete and our business, as well as our ability to compete in the marketplace, would be materially harmed.

If our products and services do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to increase our revenues

We intend to pursue our strategy of growing the capabilities of our ECM software offerings through our proprietary research and development of new product offerings. In response to customer requests, we continue to enhance Livelink and many of our optional components and we continue to set the standard for ECM capabilities. The primary market for our software and services is rapidly evolving. Since we operate in a rapidly evolving industry, the level of acceptance of products and services that have been released recently or that are planned for future release by the marketplace is not certain. If the markets for our products and services fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become subject to intense competition, our business will suffer. As a result, we may be unable to: (i) successfully market our current products and services, (ii) develop new software products, services and enhancements to current products and services, (iii) complete customer installations on a timely basis, or (iv) complete products and services currently under development. If our products and services are not accepted by our customers or by other businesses in the marketplace, our business and operating results will be materially affected.

Current and future competitors could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits

The markets for our products are intensely competitive, and are subject to variousrapid technological change and other legal matters. Whilepressures created by changes in our industry. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the resultsfuture as the pace of litigationtechnological change and claims cannotadaptation quickens and as additional companies enter each of our markets. Numerous releases of competitive products have occurred in recent history and can be predictedexpected to continue in the near future. We may not be able to compete effectively with certainty,current competitors and potential entrants into our marketplace. If other businesses were to engage in aggressive pricing policies with respect to competing products, or if marketplace dictated the development of significant price competition, we believe thatwould need to lower our prices. This could result in lower revenues or reduced margins, either of which may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We are confronting two inexorable trends in our industry; the final outcomeconsolidation of our competitors and the commoditization of our products and services

The acquisition of Documentum Inc. by EMC Corporation (“EMC”) in December 2003 and International Business Machine (“IBM”) Corporation’s acquisition of FileNet Corporation in October 2006 have changed the marketplace for our goods and services. As a result of these acquisitions, two comparable competitors to our company have been replaced by larger and better capitalized companies. In addition, other matters will notlarge corporations with considerable financial resources either have products that compete with the products we offer, or have the ability to encroach on our competitive position within our marketplace. These large, well-capitalized companies have the financial resources to engage in competition with our products and services on the basis of marketing, services or support. They also have the ability to introduce items that compete with our maturing products and services. For example, Microsoft has launched SharePoint, a product which provides the same benefits that some of our ECM products provide at a lower cost to the customer. The threat posed by larger competitors and the goods and services that these companies can produce at a lower cost to our target customers may materially increase our expenses and reduce our revenues. Any material adverse effect on our consolidatedrevenue or cost structure may materially reduce the price of our common shares.

Acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and other business initiatives may negatively affect our operating results

We continue to seek out opportunities to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that expand, complement or are otherwise related to our current business. We also consider from time to time, opportunities to engage in joint ventures or other business collaborations with third parties to address particular market segments. These activities create risks such as the need to integrate and manage the businesses and products acquired with our own business and products, additional demands on our management, resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of our ongoing business, and diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Moreover, these transactions could involve substantial investment of funds and/or technology transfers and the acquisition or disposition of product lines or businesses. Also, such activities could result in one-time charges and expenses and have the potential to either dilute the interests of existing shareholders or result in the assumption of debt. Such acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other business collaborations may involve significant commitments of financial and other resources of our company. Any such activity may not be successful in generating revenue, income or other returns to us, and the financial or other resources committed to such activities will not be available to us for other purposes. Our inability to address these risks could negatively affect our operating results.

Businesses we acquire may have disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting that are weaker than or otherwise not in conformity with ours

We have a history of acquiring complementary businesses with varying levels of organizational size and complexity. Upon consummating an acquisition, we seek to implement our disclosure controls and procedures as well as our internal controls over financial reporting at the acquired company as promptly as possible. Depending upon the size and complexity of the business acquired, the implementation of our disclosure controls and procedures as well as the implementation of our internal controls over financial reporting at an acquired company may be a lengthy process. Typically, we conduct due diligence prior to consummating an acquisition, however, our integration efforts may periodically expose deficiencies in the disclosure controls and procedures as well as in internal controls over financial reporting of an acquired company. We expect that the process involved in completing the integration of our own disclosure controls and procedures as well as our own internal controls over financial reporting at an acquired business will sufficiently correct any identified deficiencies. However, if such deficiencies exist, we may not be in a position to comply with our periodic reporting requirements and, as a result, our business and financial condition may be materially harmed.

The length of our sales cycle can fluctuate significantly which could result in significant fluctuations in license revenue being recognized from quarter to quarter

The decision by a customer to purchase our products often involves a comprehensive implementation process across our customer’s network or networks. As a result, licenses of these products may entail a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers, accompanied by the attendant risks and delays frequently associated with significant expenditures and lengthy sales cycle and implementation procedures. Given the significant investment and commitment of resources required by an organization to implement our software, our sales cycle can tend to be longer than generally expected. Over the past fiscal year, we have experienced a lengthening of our sales cycle as customers include more personnel in their decisions and focus on more enterprise-wide licensing deals. In an economic environment of reduced information technology spending, it can take several months, or even several quarters, for selling opportunities to materialize. If a customer’s decision to license our software is delayed or if the installation of our products takes longer than originally anticipated, the date on which we may recognize revenue from these licenses would be delayed. Such delays could cause our revenues to be lower than expected in a particular period.

Our international operations expose us to business risks that could cause our operating results to suffer

We intend to continue to make efforts to increase our international operations and anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenue. We have increased our presence in the European market, especially since our acquisition of IXOS Software AG (“IXOS”). These international operations are subject to certain risks and costs, including the difficulty and expense of administering business and compliance abroad, compliance with both domestic and foreign laws, compliance with domestic and international import and export laws and regulations, costs related to localizing products for foreign markets, and costs related to translating and distributing products in a timely manner. International operations also tend to be subject to a longer sales and collection cycle. In addition, regulatory limitations regarding the repatriation of earnings may adversely affect cash drawls from foreign operations. Significant international sales may also expose us to greater risk from political and economic instability, unexpected changes in Canadian, United States or other governmental policies concerning import and export of goods and technology, regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers. In addition, international earnings may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, which could also materially adversely affect our effective tax rate. Also, international expansion may be more difficult, time consuming, and costly. As a result, if revenues from international operations do not offset the expenses of establishing and maintaining foreign operations, our operating results will suffer. Moreover, in any given quarter, foreign exchange rates can impact revenue adversely.

Our expenses may not match anticipated revenues

We incur operating expenses based upon anticipated revenue trends. Since a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in recognizing revenue from license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and, as a result this delay could materially reduce operating income. If these expenses are not subsequently followed by revenues, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in July 2005, we announced our 2006 restructuring initiative to restructure our operations with the intention of streamlining our operations. Subsequently, in October 2006 we announced our commitment to a separate restructuring initiative in the aftermath of our acquisition of Hummingbird. We will continue to evaluate our operations, and may propose future restructuring actions as a result of changes in the marketplace, including the exit from less profitable operations or the decision to terminate services which are not valued by our customers. Any failure to successfully execute these initiatives on a timely basis may have a material adverse impact on our operations.

Our products may contain defects that could harm our reputation, be costly to correct, delay revenues, and expose us to litigation

Our products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, may contain design defects or software errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors may be found in new software products or improvements to existing products after commencement of shipments to our customers. If these defects are discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct such errors in a timely manner. In addition, despite the extensive tests we conduct on all our products, we may not be able to fully simulate the environment in which our products will operate and, as a result, we may be unable to adequately detect the design defects or software errors which may become apparent only after the products are installed in an end-user’s network. The occurrence of errors and failures in our products could result in the delay or the denial of market acceptance of our products; alleviating such errors and failures may require us to make significant expenditure of our resources. The harm to our reputation resulting from product errors and failures may be materially damaging. Since, we regularly provide a warranty with our products, the financial conditions.impact of fulfilling warranty obligations may be significant in the future. Our agreements with our strategic partners and end-users typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to claims. These agreements usually contain terms such as the exclusion of all implied warranties and the limitation of the availability of consequential or incidental damages. However, such provisions may not effectively protect us against claims and the attendant liabilities and costs associated with

such claims. Although we maintain errors and omissions insurance coverage and comprehensive liability insurance coverage, such coverage may not be adequate to cover all such claims. Accordingly, any such claim could negatively affect our financial condition.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete effectively

We are highly dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. Although we hold certain patents and have other patents pending, our general strategy is to not seek patent protection. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will, in all cases, be successful. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights may be difficult, particularly in some nations outside of North America in which we seek to market our products. While U.S. and Canadian copyright laws, international conventions and international treaties may provide meaningful protection against unauthorized duplication of software, the laws of some foreign jurisdictions may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of Canada or of the United States. Software piracy has been, and is expected to be, a persistent problem for the software industry. Certain of our license arrangements have required us to make a limited confidential disclosure of portions of the source code for our products, or to place such source code into an escrow for the protection of another party. Despite the precautions we have taken, unauthorized third parties, including our competitors, may be able to copy certain portions of our products or to reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Also, our competitors could independently develop technologies that are perceived to be substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. Our competitive position may be affected by our ability to protect our intellectual property.

Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, which could materially increase costs and materially harm our ability to generate future revenue and profits

Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and as related legal protections, including patents, are applied to software products. Although we do not believe that our products infringe on the rights of third-parties, third-parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Although most of our technology is proprietary in nature, we do include certain third party software in our products. In these cases, this software is licensed from the entity holding our intellectual property rights. Although we believe that we have secured proper licenses for all third-party software that has been integrated into our products, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future, and any such assertion may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third-parties. Such licenses may not be available, or they may not be available on reasonable terms. In addition, such litigation could be disruptive to our ability to generate revenue and may result in significantly increased costs as a result of our defense against those claims or our attempt to license the patents or rework our products to ensure they comply with judicial decisions. Any of the foregoing could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits.

The loss of licenses to use third party software or the lack of support or enhancement of such software could adversely affect our business

We currently depend on certain third-party software. If such software was not available, we may experience delays or increased costs in the development of licenses for our products. For a limited number of product modules, we rely on certain software that we license from third-parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and which is used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, and the related software may not continue to be appropriately supported, maintained, or enhanced by the licensors. The loss by us of the license to use, or the inability by licensors to support, maintain, and enhance any of such software, could result in increased costs or in delays or reductions in product shipments until equivalent software is developed or licensed and integrated with internally developed software. Such increased costs or delays or reductions in product shipments could adversely affect our business.

A reduction in the number or sales efforts by distributors could materially impact our revenues

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the license of our products through third parties. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to maintain access to existing channels of distribution and to gain access to new channels if and when they develop. We may not be able to retain a sufficient number of our existing distributors or develop a sufficient number of future distributors. Distributors may also give higher priority to the sale of products other than ours (which could include competitors’ products) or may not devote sufficient resources to marketing our products. The performance of third party distributors is largely outside of our control and we are unable to predict the extent to which these distributors will be successful in marketing and licensing our products. A reduction in sales efforts, a decline in the number of distributors, or our distributors’ decision to discontinue the sale of our products could materially reduce revenue.

We must continue to manage our growth or our operating results could be adversely affected

Our markets have continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Moreover, we have grown significantly through acquisitions in the past and continue to review acquisition opportunities as a means of increasing the size and scope of our business. Finally, we have been subject to increased regulation, including various NASDAQ rules and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes”), which has necessitated a significant use of our resources to comply with the increased level of regulation on a timely basis. Our growth, coupled with the rapid evolution of our markets and heightened regulations, have placed, and will continue to place, significant strains on our administrative and operational resources and increased demands on our internal systems, procedures and controls. Our administrative infrastructure, systems, procedures and controls may not adequately support our operations or compliance with such regulations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve the rapid, effective execution of the product and business initiatives necessary to successfully implement our operational and competitive strategy and to comply with all regulatory rules. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, or comply with such new regulations, our operating results will likely suffer. Our inability to manage growth or adapt to regulatory changes may also adversely affect our compliance with our periodic reporting requirements or listing standards, which could result in our delisting from the NASDAQ stock market.

Recently enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and related regulations could result in increased costs to us

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of Sarbanes and recent rules proposed and enacted by the SEC and NASDAQ, have resulted in increased costs to us as we respond to the these changes. In particular, complying with the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes has resulted in a higher level of internal costs and fees from our independent accounting firm and as well as from external consultants. These rules could also adversely affect our ability to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance. As a result, we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage and/or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, on committees of our Board of Directors, or as executive officers.

If we are not able to attract and retain top employees, our ability to compete may be harmed

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could significantly harm our business. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. Our success is also highly dependent on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train, retain and motivate highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel. In particular, the recruitment of top research developers and experienced salespeople, remains critical to our success. Competition for such people is intense, and we may not be able to attract, integrate or retain highly qualified technical, sales or managerial personnel in the future.

Our products rely on the stability of infrastructure software that, if not stable, could negatively impact the effectiveness of our products, resulting in harm to our reputation and business

Our developments of Internet and intranet applications depend and will depend on the stability, functionality and scalability of the infrastructure software of the underlying intranet, such as that of Sun Microsystems, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corporation and others. If weaknesses in such infrastructure software exist, we may not be able to correct or compensate for such weaknesses. If we are unable to address weaknesses resulting from problems in the infrastructure software such that our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, our business and reputation may be significantly harmed.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate which could materially impact the price of our Common Shares

We experience, and we are likely to continue to experience, significant fluctuations in quarterly revenues and operating results caused by many factors, including:

 

changes in the demand for our products;

the introduction or enhancement of products by us and our competitors;

market acceptance of enhancements or products;

delays in the introduction of products or enhancements by us or our competitors;

customer order deferrals in anticipation of upgrades and new products;

lengthening sales cycles;

changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

delays involved in installing products with customers;

the mix of distribution channels through which products are licensed;

the mix of products and services sold;

the timing of restructuring charges taken in connection with acquisitions completed by us;

the mix of international and North American revenues;

foreign currency exchange rates;

Acquisitions; and

general economic conditions

A cancellation or deferral of even a small number of licenses or delays in the installation of our products could have a material adverse effect on our operations in any particular quarter. Because of the impact of the timing of product introductions and the rapid evolution of our business as well as of the markets we serve, we cannot predict whether seasonal patterns experienced in the past will continue. For these reasons, reliance should not be placed upon period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast future performance. It is likely that our quarterly revenue and operating results may vary significantly and which could materially reduce the market price of our Common Shares.

The volatility of our stock price could lead to losses by shareholders

The Harold Tilburymarket price of our Common Shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations in market price may continue in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products that are relevant to our industry, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or other events or factors. In addition, financial markets experience significant price and Yolanda Tilbury Family Trust brought an action againstvolume fluctuations that

particularly affect the Companymarket prices of equity securities of many technology companies. These fluctuations have often resulted from the failure of such companies to meet market expectations in July 2002, before a single arbitrator, underparticular quarter and thus may or may not be related to the Ontario Arbitrations Act alleging damages for breachunderlying operating performance of such companies. Broad market fluctuations or any failure of our operating results in a particular quarter to meet market expectations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. Sometimes, periods of volatility in the market price of a stock purchase agreement relatingcompany’s securities, may lead to the Company’s acquisitioninstitution of Bluebird Systems Inc. (“Bluebird”). The claim was for $10 million, plus $5 million in punitive damages. Bluebird and Open Text counterclaimedsecurities class action litigation against the Tilburys claiming that not only was no further amount owing for the purchase of their shares, but that they were entitled to a return of the money already paidcompany. Due to the Tilburys,volatility of our stock price, we could be the target of such securities litigation in respectthe future. Such litigation could result in substantial costs to defend our interests and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities

We are subject to income taxes as well as other taxes in a variety of jurisdictions and our tax structure is subject to review by both domestic and foreign taxation authorities. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the business acquisition. Bluebird also claimed damages against Harold Tilburyultimate outcome with respect to the lease oftaxes we owe may differ from the Bluebird premises. In April 2005,amounts recorded in our financial statements which may materially affect our financial results in the arbitrator ruled that the sum of approximately $1.9 million, plus interest, was payable by the Company to the Tilburys under the terms of the share purchase agreement andperiod or periods for termination of employment related costs, and subsequently ruled that a further $222,000 was payable under the terms of the share purchase agreement as additional purchase consideration. The Company’s counterclaims were dismissed. A decision on reimbursement of costs had been deferred, at that date, and in August 2005 the arbitrator ruled that the sum of approximately $847,000which such determination is payable by the Company to the Tilburys on account of costs. Based on these awards, a total amount of $3.7 million was recorded as being payable to the Tilburys. This consisted of $2.5 million as additional purchase consideration, $240,000 relating to severance related costs, $85,000 relating to improvements for leasehold properties occupied by Bluebird, $754,000 relating to interest and $129,000 relating to legal costs. All amounts relating to this settlement were paid in September 2005.made.
