	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". Our majority owned subsidiaries include Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), GXS, Inc. (GXS Korea) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of September 30, 2014, were 90%, 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText.
	Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2014” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2014; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2013” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, 2013; and (iv) the term “Fiscal 2012” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012.
	These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.
	Additionally, as a result of a two-for-one stock-split effected February 18, 2014 by way of a stock dividend, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding, and share-based compensation awards presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented on a post stock-split basis.
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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 to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications were not considered material and did not affect our consolidated total revenues, consolidated income from operations or consolidated net income.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Disclosure of Going Concern Uncertainties:
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the pending adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606” (ASU 2014-09). This update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which includes i) identifying contract(s) with customers, ii) identifying performance obligations in the contract, iii) determining the transaction price, iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

	Term Loan A has a five year term and repayments made under Term Loan A are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, approximately 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. Term Loan A bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed amount, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, this fixed amount was 2.5%.
	For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $3.7 million relating to Term Loan A (three months ended September 30, 2013—$3.5 million).
	The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of September 30, 2014, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.
	Term Loan B
	In connection with the acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), on January 16, 2014, we entered into a second credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility (Term Loan B).
	Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with Term Loan A. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount on January 16, 2014.
	Term Loan B has a seven year term and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity. Borrowings under Term Loan B currently bear a floating rate of interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%.
	For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $6.6 million relating to Term Loan B.
	Mortgage
	We currently have an "open" mortgage with a Canadian bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2015. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We first entered into this mortgage in December 2005.
	As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the mortgage was approximately $9.1 million (June 30, 2014—$9.6 million).
	As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $15.6 million (June 30, 2014—$15.6 million).
	For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million, relating to the mortgage (three months ended September 30, 2013—$0.1 million).

	Defined Benefit Plans
	CDT Plan
	CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of September 30, 2014, there is approximately $0.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year.
	GXS Germany Plan
	As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. All information presented below for the GXS GER plan is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.
	GXS Philippines Plan
	As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which had a fair value of approximately $36.0 thousand as of September 30, 2014, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. All information presented below for the GXS PHP plan is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.

	SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
	Dividends
	Stock Dividend
	On January 23, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock-split of our outstanding Common Shares. The two-for-one stock-split was implemented by way of a stock dividend whereby shareholders received one Common Share for each Common Share held. The record date for the stock dividend was February 7, 2014 and the payment date was February 18, 2014.
	As a result of the two-for-one stock-split, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding and share-based compensation awards are presented on a post stock-split basis.
	Cash Dividends
	For the three months ended September 30, 2014, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.1725 per Common Share, in the amount of $21.0 million, which we paid during the same period.
	For the three months ended September 30, 2013, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.15 per Common Share, in the amount of $17.7 million, which we paid during the same period.
	Share Capital
	Our authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preference Shares. No Preference Shares have been issued.
	Treasury Stock
	During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares for potential reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or otherwise.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not reissue any Common Shares from treasury stock.
	Share-Based Payments
	Total share-based compensation expense for the periods indicated below is detailed as follows:


			Three Months Ended September 30,
			2014				2013
	Stock options		$	2,569			$	1,357

	Performance Share Units (issued under LTIP)		591				2,168

	Restricted Share Units (other)		75				216

	Deferred Share Units (directors)		471				267

	Total share-based compensation expense		$	4,449			$	4,612

	Summary of Outstanding Stock Options
	As of September 30, 2014, options to purchase an aggregate of 4,187,409 Common Shares were outstanding and 3,437,482 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.
	A summary of activity under our stock option plans for three months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:


		Options			Weighted-				Weighted-		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
					Average Exercise				Average		($’000s)
					Price				Remaining
									Contractual Term
									(years)
	Outstanding at June 30, 2014	4,273,226			$	36.35

	Granted	397,100			56.33

	Exercised	(246,745	)		25.35

	Outstanding at September 30, 2014	4,187,409			$	38.85			5.33		$	69,752

	Exercisable at September 30, 2014	768,459			$	23.38			3.21		$	24,625


	We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The 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. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.
	We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our 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 periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows:


			Three Months Ended September 30,
			2014				2013
	Weighted–average fair value of options granted		$	14.3			$	7.75

Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility		32		%		32		%
Risk–free interest rate		1.51		%		1.19		%
Expected dividend yield		1.15		%		1.8		%
Expected life (in years)		4.34				4.36

Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)		5		%		5		%
Average exercise share price		$	56.33			$	33.17

As of September 30, 2014, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $33.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.
No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.
We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, cash in the amount of $6.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2014 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.5 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash in the amount of $1.2 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2013 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million.
Long-Term Incentive Plans
We incentivize our executive officers, in part, with long term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or RSUs. Target PSUs become vested upon the satisfaction of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest and be settled.
Grants made in Fiscal 2012 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Awards made under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP will be issued in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 in accordance with our insider trading policy, which states, in part, that stock awards may not be issued while a "trading window" is closed. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2014 LTIP awards in stock.
Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2015 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the RSUs and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2015 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2015 LTIP awards in stock.
Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted on November 1, 2013 are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock.
Grants made in Fiscal 2015 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2017 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2015 starting on September 4, 2014. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2017 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2017 LTIP awards in stock.
PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.
Expected and actual stock compensation expense for each of the above mentioned LTIP plans is as follows:


									Three Months Ended September 30,
Grants Made	Equity Instrument	Grant Date	End Date		Expected Total LTIP Expense				2014				2013
Under LTIP

					$	38,590			$	1,334			$	2,772

Of the total expected LTIP expense of $38.6 million noted in the table above, $20.7 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total compensation cost of $17.9 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

On September 8, 2014, we granted 12,500 RSUs to our Chief Financial Officer, in accordance with his employment agreement. The RSUs will vest equally over three years. We expect to settle the awards in stock.
Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we granted 398 DSUs to certain non-employee directors (three months ended September 30, 2013—486 on a post stock-split basis). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for directors fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.
Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, cash in the amount of approximately $0.8 million was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods (three months ended September 30, 2013—$0.7 million)

	*Net of $3.7 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.
	Guarantees and Indemnifications
	We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Litigation
	We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.
	Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.
	If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	Contingencies
	EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its United States subsidaries are currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million and has been accrued for by us. OpenText intends to vigorously defend against this assessment.
	As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2014. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $3.7 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.
	Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and accrued approximately $10.2 million for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.
	Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.4 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.
	The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for Fiscal 2010 through Fiscal 2012, and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. These examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes, which may be material, individually or in the aggregate. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no adjustments have been proposed by the IRS, and we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Please also see "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Income Taxes	'
	INCOME TAXES
	Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.
	We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
	For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:


			Three Months Ended September 30,
			2014			2013
	Interest expense		$	2,004		$	2,328

	Penalties expense		48			238

	Total		$	2,052		$	2,566

	As of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:


		As of September 30, 2014			As of June 30, 2014
	Interest expense accrued *	$	28,014		$	26,235

	Penalties accrued *	$	7,649		$	7,858


	*	These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2014, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $18.9 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.
	Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years that remain open to tax audits by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to ten years.
	We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, France, Spain, Germany, India, the Netherlands and Italy. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States audits are included in note 13.
	The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes.
	As at September 30, 2014, we have provided $8.2 million (June 30, 2014—$7.6 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and Luxembourg subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.
	The effective GAAP tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of net income before taxes) decreased to 21.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from 38.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the net change in valuation allowance in the amount of $2.0 million and a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of $1.2 million. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

•

Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

•

Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

Our valuation technique used to measure the fair values of our marketable securities were derived from quoted market prices as an active market for these securities exist. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for the derivative instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with Canadian chartered banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our payroll exposure. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2014, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of September 30, 2014, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $74.7 million (June 30, 2014—$99.6 million).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance

	Total		$	4,169		$	3,731

	OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan
	In the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and in the context of the acquisition of GXS, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.
	As of September 30, 2014, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan to be approximately $30.0 million, of which $22.1 million has already been recorded within Special charges to date. We expect the OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan to be substantially completed by the end of our current fiscal year.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is shown below.

	Acquisition-related costs
	Included within Special charges for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.2 million (three months ended September 30, 2013—$0.9 million). Additionally, we incurred costs relating to financial advisory, legal, valuation and audit services and other miscellaneous costs necessary to integrate acquired companies into our organization for the three months ended September 30, 2014 in the amount of $0.2 million (three months ended September 30, 2013—$0.4 million).
	Other charges
	Included within "Other charges" for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is a charge of $0.8 million relating to certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, the associated interest accrual, and miscellaneous integration costs.
	Included within "Other charges" for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is a net recovery of $3.8 million relating to a reduction of certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, inclusive of an offsetting associated interest accrual. This recovery was offset by a charge of $1.4 million relating to a settlement agreement reached in connection with the acquisition of IXOS Software AG in February 2004.

	ACQUISITIONS
	GXS Group, Inc.
	On January 16, 2014, we acquired GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), a Delaware corporation and leader in cloud-based, business-to-business (B2B) integration. The acquisition combines OpenText's Information Exchange portfolio with GXS' portfolio of B2B integration services and managed services. Total consideration for GXS was $1.2 billion, inclusive of the issuance of 2,595,042 OpenText Common Shares on a post stock-split basis. In accordance with Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.
	The results of operations of GXS have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning January 16, 2014.
	The following tables summarize the preliminary consideration paid for GXS and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the preliminary goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date:


	Cash consideration paid	$	1,101,874

	Equity consideration paid	116,777

	Preliminary purchase consideration	$	1,218,651

	Acquisition-related costs (included in Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income) for the three months ended September 30, 2014	$	141

	As set forth in the purchase agreement, $60.0 million of the total cash consideration paid is currently being held by an escrow agent for indemnification purposes and, subject to certain conditions being met, the payout thereof will be released between nine and twelve months from the date of the acquisition.
	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
	The preliminary purchase price of GXS has been allocated to GXS' tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For certain assets and liabilities, the book values as of the balance sheet date have been determined to reflect fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).
	Our preliminary purchase price allocation for GXS is as follows:


	Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $24,382)	$	127,406

	Non-current tangible assets	36,139

	Intangible customer assets	364,600

	Intangible technology assets	123,200

	Liabilities and non-controlling interest assumed	(105,459		)
	Total identifiable net assets	545,886

	Goodwill	672,765

	Net assets acquired	$	1,218,651

	The finalization of the above purchase price allocation is pending the determination of the finalization of the fair value for taxation-related balances and for potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize this determination on or before December 31, 2014.
	Adjustments made to goodwill in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 primarily include reductions of certain tax related liabilities based upon the determination of additional tax attributes available on acquisition.
	No portion of the goodwill recorded upon the acquisition of GXS is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $94.3 million. The gross amount receivable was $108.2 million of which $13.9 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of our Board and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Board reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2014, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned $4.0 thousand (three months ended September 30, 2013—$0.2 million) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.
