NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management (“Management”) of Openwave Systems Inc. (the “Company” or “Openwave”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008, and the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

On June 3, 2007, the board of directors approved the disposition of the Musiwave S.A. (“Musiwave”) business. The Company accounted for the planned sale of Musiwave as a discontinued operation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.” The net assets associated with Musiwave were classified as “held-for-sale” from June 30, 2007 until its disposition on December 31, 2007.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company sold its mobile phone software business (“Client operations”) to Purple Labs, a private company based in Chambéry, France. In accordance with SFAS 144, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised for all periods presented to reflect the Client operations as a discontinued operation.

Unless noted otherwise, discussions in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

There have been no material changes to the Company’s revenue recognition policy from the information provided in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended June 30, 2008.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock options under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” (“FAS 123R”) for all share based payments and awards granted.

6

The following table illustrates stock-based compensation recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations by category of award (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Stock-based compensation related to:
Grants of nonvested stock	$	131	$	231
Stock options granted to employees and directors		735		1,719
Employee stock purchase plan		105		258
Stock options granted to employees of discontinued operations		—		281
Stock-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of operations	$	971	$	2,489

During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the tax benefits related to stock option expense was immaterial.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company accelerated the vesting of 4,723 shares of restricted stock held by a former officer of the Company. As a result of that modification, the Company recorded approximately $27 thousand in stock-based compensation expense, which represents the value of the modified award. Additionally, the Company reversed previously recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $40 thousand related to the award as the service condition of the original award was not expected to be satisfied.

The Company elected to amortize stock-based compensation for awards granted on or after the adoption of FAS 123R on July 1, 2005 on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period for the entire award. For awards granted prior to July 1, 2005, compensation costs are amortized in a manner consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans.” This is the same manner applied in the pro forma disclosures under FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“FAS 123”) for periods prior to the adoption of FAS 123R.

(a) Assumptions and Activity

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and assumptions noted in the following table. The Company’s expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility experienced in the Company’s stock price when appropriate. The Company estimates the expected term for new grants based upon actual post-vesting option cancellation and exercise experience, as well as the average midpoint between vesting and the contractual term for outstanding options. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Expected volatility	65.8	%	60.7	%
Expected dividends	0	%	0	%
Expected term (in years)	3.17-3.40		2.79-6.04
Risk-free rate	2.6	%	4.6	%

The Company determines the fair value of nonvested shares based on the NASDAQ closing stock price on the date of grant.

A summary of option activity from July 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 is presented below (in thousands except per share amounts):

Options	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at July 1, 2008	4,500		$	9.41	5.13	$	—
Options granted	2,433			1.49
Exercised	—			—
Forfeited, canceled or expired	(1,063	)		8.39
Outstanding at September 30, 2008	5,870		$	6.31	7.42	$	—
Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2008	4,606		$	7.34	6.90	$	—
Exercisable at September 30, 2008	2,614		$	11.25	4.98	$	—

The weighted average grant date fair values of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.70 and $2.10, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.1 million. There were no options exercised in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Upon the exercise of options, the Company issues new common stock from its authorized shares.

A summary of the activity of the Company's nonvested shares from July 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 is presented below (in thousands except per share amounts):

Nonvested Shares	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Nonvested at July 1, 2008	373		$	4.58
Nonvested shares granted	—			—
Vested	(10	)		4.84
Forfeited	(51	)		5.41
Nonvested at September 30, 2008	312		$	4.44

As of September 30, 2008, there was $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized as the restricted shares vest over the next four years. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

The impact on our results of operations of recording stock-based compensation for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Stock-based compensation by category:
Maintenance and support services	$	72	$	166
Services		166		270

General and administrative		351		656
Discontinued operations		—		281

(b) Reinstatement of Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In January 2007, the Company reinstated and amended the Openwave Systems Inc. 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which it suspended in October 2002. Eligible employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the beginning and the end of the six month offering periods. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized relating to the ESPP during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The fair value used in recording the stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP is estimated for each offering period using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility experienced in the Company’s stock price, as well as implied volatility in the market traded options on Openwave common stock. The expected term is six months, coinciding with each offering period. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Expected volatility	67.5	%	43.8	%
Expected dividends	0	%	0	%
Expected term (in years)	0.5		0.5
Risk-free rate	2.0	%	4.6	%

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141(R) requires expensing of acquisition-related and restructure-related costs, remeasurement of earn out provisions at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and non-expensing of in-process research and development related intangibles. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company’s business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2009.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), to partially defer SFAS 157. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP 157-2 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company adopted the portions of SFAS 157 not impacted by FSP 157-2 during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, see Note 6 Financial Instruments.

(2) Net Income (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” basic net income (loss) per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase.

The Company excludes potentially dilutive securities from its diluted net income (loss) per share computation when their effect would be anti-dilutive to the net income (loss) per share computation. The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods indicated below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008	2007
Weighted average effect of potential common stock:
Unvested common stock subject to repurchase	342	663
Options that would have been included in the computation of dilutive shares outstanding had the Company reported net income, prior to applying the treasury method	2	252
Options that were excluded from the computation of dilutive shares outstanding because the total assumed proceeds exceeded the average market value of the Company’s common stock during the quarter	5,245	7,111
Shares resulting from an “as-if” conversion of the convertible debt	7,268	9,418

(3) Discontinued Operations

a) Client operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company sold its Client operations to Purple Labs, a private company based in Chambéry, France. The terms of the agreement include initial consideration of $20.0 million in cash received by the Company on June 27, 2008 and a note receivable of $5.8 million which was paid in July 2008. Additionally,

10

$4.2 million was placed in escrow by the purchaser for a period of one year to secure indemnification claims made by the purchaser, if any. The initial consideration also includes warrants to purchase 2% of Purple Labs common stock. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company met the terms of the Earnout provision in the sale agreement and received $2.0 million which was recorded as an additional $2.0 million gain on sale of discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company is providing transition services to Purple Labs for up to six months following the sale. The first $2.0 million of costs relating to the transition services were covered by the initial consideration, and an additional $2.3 million of such costs as of September 30, 2008 are to be reimbursed by Purple Labs and are recorded in Amounts receivable from sales of discontinued operations.

The Company recognized a gain of $19.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 related to the sale of the Client operation. In accordance with SFAS 144, the Client operations financial results have been classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

The financial results of Client operations included in discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Revenue of discontinued operation	$	—	$	10,002

b) Musiwave

In January 2006, the Company acquired Musiwave, S.A. (“Musiwave”) and committed to a plan to sell its interest in Musiwave in June 2007. In accordance with SFAS 144, Musiwave’s financial results have been classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The net assets associated with Musiwave were classified as “held-for-sale” from June 30, 2007 until its disposition on December 31, 2007.

On December 31, 2007, the Company sold Musiwave for $41.4 million in cash, a note receivable of $5.9 million, and $4.6 million which the purchaser placed in escrow for a period of one year to secure indemnification claims made by the purchaser, if any. The Company received and recorded the payment on the note receivable in July 2008. The purchase price is subject to a potential purchase price adjustment regarding working capital, if any, which will be reflected as gain/(loss) on sale of discontinued operation in the period determined. A gain on the sale of discontinued operation will be recognized if and when funds are distributed from escrow.

The financial results of Musiwave included in discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands):

The Company performed interim goodwill impairment testing at September 30, 2008 because its common stock had been trading below book value per share during the fiscal quarter. The estimated fair value of the Company was calculated based on discounted future estimated cash flows, observable market capitalization with an estimated control premium, and an estimated value using relevant transactions as a guideline. Based upon the results of this test, Management determined that no goodwill impairment charge was required as of September 30, 2008. Management will continue to monitor the relationship of the Company’s market capitalization and other factors considered in estimating fair value, to evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company’s market capitalization has continued to decline subsequent to September 30, 2008. If the Company’s common stock price continues to trade below book value per common share, the Company may have to recognize an impairment of all, or some portion of, its goodwill and other intangible assets.

Deferred revenue results from amounts billed to the customer but not yet recognized as revenue as of the balance sheet date since the billing related to one or more of the following:

• amounts billed prior to acceptance of product or service;

• new version coverage and/or maintenance and support elements prior to the time service is delivered;

(6) Financial Instruments

The Company reviews its impairments of investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and related guidance issued by the FASB and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in order to determine the classification of the impairment as “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity. Such an unrealized loss does not affect net income for the applicable accounting period. An other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded as a realized loss in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and increases net loss for the applicable accounting period. The differentiating factors between temporary and other-than-temporary impairment are primarily the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective July 1, 2008, for all of its financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS 157 (as impacted by FSP No. 157-2) establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

• Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

15

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Fair value of securities as of September 30, 2008
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
Money Market Funds	$	49,787	$	—	$	—	$	49,787
Certificates of Deposit		—		1,783		—		1,783
Corporate Bonds		—		26,279		—		26,279
Enhanced Cash Money Market		—		3,466		—		3,466
Auction Rate Securities		—		—		16,773		16,773
	$	49,787	$	31,528	$	16,773	$	98,088

As of September 30, 2008, $16.8 million in certain auction rate securities (“ARS”), recorded in long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, were considered illiquid based upon recent auction results.

These ARS with an estimated fair value of $14.8 million were issued by eight different entities and are held by one investment firm on the Company’s behalf. Six of these securities are “Triple X” structured obligations of special purpose reinsurance entities associated with life insurance companies. The other two securities are interest-bearing corporate debt obligations which, through the course of the issuer’s business, have some exposure to asset-backed securities. The Company estimated the fair value of these auction rate securities based on probabilities of potential scenarios: 1) successful auction/early redemption, 2) failing auctions until maturity or 3) default and the estimated cash flows for each scenario. Other factors were considered, such as the value of the investments held by the issuer and the financial condition and credit ratings of the issuer, insurers, and parent companies as applicable. The Company recorded a $4.4 million other-than-temporary loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 related to these securities. As of September 30, 2008 these instruments were all rated AA or AAA by Standard and Poor’s and A2 to Aaa by Moody’s and the $17.0 million par value of these illiquid investments are insured against defaults of principal and interest by third party insurance companies. These investments are classified in long term investments at September 30, 2008.

The Company also holds an investment in an ARS relating to federal education student loans programs, with an estimated fair value of $2.0 million. The Company estimated the fair value of this security based on a discounted cash flows model, and considered other factors including recent receipt of a $0.1 million partial redemption of this instrument at par, and recent performance of the issuer. This security is substantially guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. This instrument is rated AAA by Fitch and Aaa by Moody’s. This investment is classified in long term investments at September 30, 2008.

The Company recorded a $4.4 million other-than-temporary impairment on ARS during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The loss was considered other-than-temporary given the length of time the ARS have been illiquid, and the significant amount of the loss incurred.

Additionally, a $1.2 million other-than-temporary loss was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 related to an investment in a corporate instrument which was estimated at fair value based upon recent market quotes.

16

The following table represents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s ARS measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the first six months of fiscal year 2008 (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) ARS
Balance at June 30, 2008	$	21,344
Change in unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income		(67	)
Other-than-temporary impairment		(4,404	)
Partial redemption		(100	)
Balance at September 30, 2008	$	16,773

In December 2007, the investment manager of an enhanced cash money market fund that the Company had invested in halted demand redemptions and announced its intention to liquidate the fund by the end of June 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the market value of the Company’s pro-rata share of investments in the fund was $3.5 million. Due to recent market conditions, the liquidation schedule has extended beyond the initial estimated redemption date. According to the revised schedule, as of September 30, 2008, $2.4 million is classified in short-term investments and $1.0 million is classified in long-term investments based on the current planned distribution schedule. The Company received distributions of $1.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company has no other amounts invested in enhanced cash funds.

Additionally, the Company had $17.6 million of restricted investments that were included within restricted cash and investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. $17.4 million of the restricted investments comprises a certificate of deposit to collateralize letters of credit for facility leases, and $0.2 million comprises a restricted investment to secure a warranty bond pursuant to a customer contract. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s restricted investments was 2.8% at September 30, 2008.

(7) Acquisitions

Acquisition of WiderWeb

On February 9, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding issued share capital of WiderWeb Limited (“WiderWeb”), a developer of mobile web access solutions, for initial aggregate consideration of approximately $3.6 million (the “Initial Consideration”). The Initial Consideration consists of the payment of cash consideration of $3.3 million and transaction costs of $0.3 million, consisting primarily of professional fees.

In addition to the Initial Consideration, Openwave may pay contingent consideration relating to a retention agreement (“Retention Amount”). The maximum amount payable for the Retention Amount is $875 thousand for the retention of four key employees of WiderWeb for a two-year period which began on February 9, 2007. The Retention Amount is being amortized over the two-year period as compensation expense. During fiscal 2008, fifty percent of the Retention Amount was distributed to the four individuals pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, each of whom remains an employee of the Company. The remaining Retention Amount will be payable to the four individuals on February 9, 2009, assuming each individual remains an employee of Openwave. If an individual ceases to be an employee his prorata portion of the Retention Amount will be forfeited in favor of the Company.

Openwave may also pay contingent consideration (“WiderWeb Earn Out”) of up to an additional $4.0 million. The actual amount will be determined based upon the achievement of sales-related targets by the WiderWeb product line over various periods between closing and February 8, 2009. A total of $1.4 million of the WiderWeb Earn Out has been achieved as of September 30, 2008 and was added to goodwill in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time the contingency was resolved. The remaining potential WiderWeb Earn Out pursuant to the merger agreement is $2.6 million as of September 30, 2008.

(8) Convertible Subordinated Notes

On September 9, 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of 2 3 / 4 % convertible subordinated notes (the “Notes”). All of the outstanding principal and interest was paid on September 9, 2008 pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The Notes were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet net of a $4.1 million discount, which was amortized over the term of the Notes using the straight-line method, which approximated the effective interest rate

17

method. Approximately $158 thousand and $206 thousand of discount amortization during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, was included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company made a policy election to classify the issuance costs as a reduction to the Notes. The Company incurred $900 thousand of costs in connection with the issuance of the Notes, which were deferred and included in deposits and other assets. The finance costs were recognized as interest expense over the term of the Notes using the straight-line method, which approximated the effective interest rate method. Approximately $34 thousand and $45 thousand of debt issuance costs amortization was incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, and included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2008, all debt issuance costs have been fully amortized.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

IPO securities class action.

On November 5, 2001, a securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In re Openwave Systems Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). It is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The defendants are the Company and five of its present or former officers (the “Openwave Defendants”), and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering and secondary public offering. Three of the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice, subject to a tolling of the statute of limitations. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), on the grounds that the registration statements for the offerings did not disclose that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued by Credit Suisse First Boston, Hambrecht & Quist, Robertson Stephens, and Piper Jaffray. No specific damages are claimed. Similar allegations were made in over 300 other lawsuits challenging public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, and the cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes.

The Company had accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants. Under such settlement proposal, plaintiffs would have dismissed and released all claims against the Openwave Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment by the insurance companies responsible for insuring the issuers and for the assignment or surrender of control of certain claims the Company may have against the underwriters. The Openwave Defendants would not be required to make any cash payment in the settlement, unless the pro rata amount paid by the insurers in the settlement exceeds the amount of insurance coverage, a circumstance which the Company does not believe will occur. The settlement required approval of the Court, which could not be assured, after class members were given the opportunity to object to or opt out of the settlement. The Court held a hearing on April 24, 2006 to consider whether final approval should be granted. Subsequently, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the class certification of plaintiffs’ claims against the underwriters in six cases designated as focus or test cases. Miles v. Merrill Lynch & Co. (In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation), 471 F.3d 24 (2d Cir. 2006). Thereafter, the District Court ordered a stay of all proceedings in all of the lawsuits pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc and resolution of the class certification issue. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the District Court. Accordingly, the parties withdrew the prior settlement, and Plaintiffs submitted amended complaints in designated focus or test cases with a revised class definition, in an attempt to comply with the Second Circuit’s ruling.

On March 26, 2008, the District Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part motions to dismiss the amended complaints in the focus cases. In particular, the District Court denied the motions to dismiss as to the Section 10(b) claims. It also denied the motions to dismiss as to the Section 11 claims except for those claims raised

18

by two different classes of plaintiffs. More specifically, the District Court dismissed the Section 11 claims raised by (1) those plaintiffs who had no conceivable damages because they sold their securities above the offering price; and (2) those plaintiffs whose claims were time barred because they purchased their securities outside the previously certified class period. The Company believes a loss is not probable or reasonably estimable. Therefore no amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2008.

Government Investigations.

On May 18, 2006, the Company received an informal notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) advising that the SEC had commenced an informal inquiry into the Company’s stock option grants and options-granting practices. The SEC’s letter requested that the Company produce documents related to the Company’s stock options-granting practices. In June 2006, the Company received subpoenas from the United States Attorneys for the Northern District of California and the Southern District of New York also requesting documents relating to the Company's stock options-granting practices. The Company has cooperated with the SEC and the U.S. Attorneys in these matters and intends to continue to do so. These investigations remain open; however, the Company has not received any recent communications from the SEC or the U.S. Attorneys regarding these matters.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits.

Seven substantially similar shareholder derivative actions were filed in California state and federal courts, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against various of the Company’s former and then-current directors and officers. The plaintiffs allege that the individual defendants mismanaged corporate assets and breached their fiduciary duties between 1999 and 2005 by authorizing or failing to halt the back-dating of certain stock options. The plaintiffs also allege that certain defendants were unjustly enriched by the receipt and retention of backdated stock options and that certain of the defendants sold Openwave stock for a profit while in possession of material, non-public information. Certain of the plaintiffs also allege that the Company issued false and misleading financial disclosures and proxy statements from 1999 through 2005 and that the individual defendants engaged in a fraudulent scheme to divert money to themselves via improper option grants. The complaints seek various forms of equitable relief (including, among other things, disgorgement of profits, rescission of options contracts, accounting and certain corporate governance reforms) as well as unspecified money damages. The Company is named as a nominal defendant in all of the actions. However, because the plaintiffs purport to bring these claims on the Company’s behalf, no relief is sought against the Company.

On September 5, 2006, the California Superior Court for the County of San Mateo consolidated the three actions pending before it into a single action captioned In re: Openwave Systems Inc. Derivative Litigation (Consolidated Case No. CIV 455265) and appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel. On September 29, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended shareholder derivative complaint. The action seeks to have the defendants disgorge certain options they received, including the proceeds of the options exercised, treble damages for violations of Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code, punitive damages as well as certain equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 21, 2006, the individual defendants, joined by nominal defendant Openwave, filed a motion to stay the state court actions pending resolution of the federal actions. On December 12, 2006, the state court granted the defendants’ motion to stay. On December 12, 2006, the state court granted the defendants’ motion to stay. The court required the parties to attend periodic status conferences until the federal actions are resolved and permitted the plaintiffs in the state court actions to ask the court to lift the stay if circumstances change. As a result of the judgment of dismissal entered on August 13, 2008 in federal actions, on October 3, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the state court actions on the grounds that they are barred by the federal court’s judgment. The consolidated state court action is in its very early stages. No amount is accrued as of September 30, 2008 as a loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable.

On March 12, 2008, the Company received a demand letter from an attorney purporting to represent two shareholders of the Company, Henry Sherupski and Manfred Hacker (the “Demand Letter”). The litigation proposed by the Demand Letter is substantially similar to that previously brought by the same and other purported shareholders in the

19

above described federal shareholder derivative litigation in which the Court recently entered a judgment of dismissal. The Demand Letter requests that the Company commence litigation against certain individuals who currently serve or previously served as directors, officers, or employees of the Company, for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, waste, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, violations of California statute and other misconduct in connection with the Company’s stock option practices and public reporting of certain financial results during the periods fiscal 1999 through fiscal 2005. In response to the Demand Letter, as described above, the Board formed a special litigation committee to consider the plaintiffs' demand. The special litigation committee is currently conducting an investigation into the matters raised in the Demand Letter. No amount is accrued as of September 30, 2008 as a loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable.

Securities Class Action.

Between February 21, and March 27, 2007, four substantially similar securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Openwave and four current and former officers of the Company. The complaints purport to be filed on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased Openwave stock from September 30, 2002 through October 26, 2006 (the “Class Period”), and allege that during the Class Period, the defendants engaged in improper stock options backdating and issued materially false and misleading statements in the Company’s public filings and press releases regarding the manner in which Openwave granted and accounted for the options.

On April 25, 2007, the Company and the individual defendants filed a joint motion to transfer the actions to the Northern District of California where the related shareholder derivative class actions are pending. On May 18, 2007, the court entered an order consolidating the four securities class actions into a single action captioned In re: Openwave Systems Securities Litigation (Master File 07-1309 (DLC)), and appointing the lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel. On June 14, 2007, the court entered an order denying the motion to transfer.

On June 29, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended class action complaint. The consolidated and amended complaint adds 17 additional defendants, including several current and former Openwave officers and directors, KPMG LLP, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. The consolidated and amended complaint alleges claims for violation of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20(A) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, as well as claims for violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act arising out of the Company’s 2005 public offering. The complaint seeks money damages, equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

On August 10, 2007, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated and amended class action complaint. On October 31, 2007, the court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. The court granted the motions to dismiss claims asserted under the Securities Act as to all defendants against whom those claims were asserted, and granted the motion to dismiss the Exchange Act claims by certain of the officer and director defendants, but denied the motion to dismiss the Exchange Act claims asserted against Openwave and certain of the other director and officer defendants. As a result of the court’s decision, KPMG LLP, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC were dismissed as defendants from the litigation. The Company and certain of its former officers and former and current directors remained as defendants.

The parties commenced discovery with respect to class certification and the merits. On June 23, 2008, the lead plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On July 18, 2008, the Company filed its opposition to the lead plaintiff's motion, and all of the individual defendants joined in that opposition.

On October 24, 2008, while the motion for class certification was pending and discovery was ongoing, the lead plaintiff and defendants reached an agreement to settle the action. On November 5, 2008, the court entered a preliminary order approving the settlement. The settlement will be funded in part by insurance and in part by the

20

Company. The settlement is subject to court approval. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company accrued for a legal settlement of $20.0 million, offset by a $15.0 million receivable from the insurance carriers, leaving the net amount of $5.0 million as the Company’s estimate of its settlement cost.

Simmonds v. Credit Suisse Group, et al.,

On October 3, 2007, Vanessa Simmonds filed a stockholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (Case No.C07-1580 JLR) on behalf of Openwave naming Credit Suisse Group, Bank of America Corporation, and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. as defendants. Openwave is named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants, all of whom acted as co-lead underwriters for Openwave’s 1999 initial public offering, violated the “short-swing profit” prohibition set forth in Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by purchasing and selling Openwave securities within a six-month period, and violated Section 16(a) by failing to report transactions in Openwave’s securities as a group. The plaintiff demands that each of the defendants disgorge profits from all transactions in Openwave’s securities found to be in violation of Section 16(b), prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation or other legal proceedings, including those noted above, relating to or arising out of its day-to-day operations or otherwise. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company could experience unfavorable rulings. Should the Company experience an unfavorable ruling, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or on its business for the period in which the ruling occurs and/or in future periods.

Indemnification claims.

The Company’s software license and services agreements generally include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to the Company’s intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). As of September 30, 2008, no amount is accrued for indemnifications as there were no existing claims where a loss is considered probable. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have been infrequent and the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on its future results of operations.

Contingencies.

We have certain contingent obligations associated with previous acquisitions as discussed in Note 7Acquisitions.

(10) Restructuring and Other Related Costs

As a result of the Company’s change in strategy and its desire to improve its cost structure, the Company announced restructurings during fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, and various other restructurings in fiscal years 2002 through 2005.

The fiscal year 2008 restructuring (FY2008 Restructuring) was implemented to better align the Company’s resources among its products, reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. As such, during fiscal 2008 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company incurred $6.6 million in pre-tax restructuring and related charges associated with the FY2008 Restructuring Plan’s employee termination benefits and $0.8 million in accelerated depreciation on fixed assets associated with facilities identified for restructuring. The Company expects to pay the current accrued charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The restructuring charges for facilities under this plan will be incurred in the period the facility is no longer occupied or used by the Company for operations, with the associated lease payments being paid over the term of the remaining lease. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company incurred $1.5 million in facilities charges related to the FY2008 Restructuring. Of the remaining $1.2 million accrual, the Company expects to pay $0.3 million through June 30, 2009 and $0.9 million from July 2009 through September 2012.

21

The following table sets forth the restructuring liability activity from June 30, 2008 through September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

	FY 02 to FY 05 Restructuring Plans			FY 06 Restructuring Plan			FY 07 Restructuring Plan			FY 08 Restructuring Plan			FY 08 Restructuring Plan		Total Accrual
	Facility			Facility			Severance			Severance			Facility
Accrual balances as of June 30, 2008	$	52,877		$	25		$	261		$	2,609		$	—	$	55,772
New charges(1)		(37	)		—			—			(313	)		1,239		889
Accretion expense		447			—			—			—			—		447
Cash paid, net of sublease income		(2,841	)		(3	)		(42	)		(1,908	)		—		(4,794	)
Balance as of September 30, 2008	$	50,446		$	22		$	219		$	388		$	1,239	$	52,314

⁽¹⁾ These charges do not include $0.2 million of accelerated depreciation on fixed assets, as well as $0.3 million in facility exit costs paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company has sublease contracts in place for all but one of its exited facilities, which provides for approximately $34.2 million of future sublease income from third parties out of a total of $35.1 million. Future minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year and future contractual sublease income were as follows at September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

Year ending June 30,	Contractual Cash Obligation		Estimated Sublease Income		��	Contractual Sublease Income			Estimated Future Net Cash Outflow
2009 (remaining)		14,236		—			(5,544	)		8,692
2010		19,514		—			(7,561	)		11,953
2011		20,472		(231	)		(7,437	)		12,804
2012		20,387		(466	)		(7,458	)		12,463
2013		16,547		(127	)		(6,230	)		10,190
	$	91,156	$	(824	)	$	(34,230	)	$	56,102

Future accretion expense on the restructured facility obligation is $4.4 million, which will be recorded as restructuring expense over the life of the respective lease terms.

(11) Income Taxes

Income tax expense consisted of foreign withholding tax, foreign corporate tax and foreign deferred tax. Both foreign withholding tax and foreign corporate tax fluctuate quarterly based on the product and geographic mix of our revenue, with a resulting fluctuation in our quarterly effective tax rate.

In light of our history of operating losses we recorded a full valuation allowance for our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until there is sufficient evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized. As of September 30, 2008, we have net foreign deferred tax assets recorded of approximately $4.4 million, which consists of $5.1 million of realizable deferred tax assets in selected countries based upon our conclusion that it is more likely than not that these foreign subsidiaries will earn future taxable profit through transfer pricing; offset by $0.7 million of deferred tax liabilities recorded with respect to acquisitions for which the amortization expense of acquired intangibles is not deductible for tax purposes.

The FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) unrecognized tax benefits activity is as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of July 1, 2008	$	5,659
Resolution of various tax positions		(188	)
Increase in tax reserve		(24	)
Foreign currency fluctuation		(253	)
Balance as of September 30, 2008	$	5,194

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $5.2 million as of September 30, 2008. Of this amount, $2.0 million would affect the effective tax rate if realized, and $3.2 million would be recorded as a reduction of goodwill if realized. The Company has elected to include interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties at September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $23,000 and $11,000, respectively. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

22

The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns. For federal returns, the Company is generally no longer subject to examinations for years prior to fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Because of net operating loss carryforwards, substantially all of the Company’s tax years, from fiscal 1995 through fiscal 2007, remain open to state tax examinations with the exception of Alabama, Massachusetts and Texas. Most of the Company’s foreign jurisdictions have three or four open tax years at any point in time.

Overview of Financial Results During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

The following table represents a summary of our operating results from continuing operations for our first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2008 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007
	(unaudited)
Revenues	$	51,045		$	52,970		-4	%
Cost of revenues		20,971			25,051		-16	%
Gross profit		30,074			27,919		8	%
Operating expenses		35,579			44,688		-20	%
Operating loss		(5,505	)		(16,769	)	-67	%
Interest and other income (expense), net		(6,496	)		2,904		-324	%
Income tax expense		503			643		-22	%
Net loss from continuing operations	$	(12,504	)	$	(14,508	)	-14	%

Revenues decreased 4% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily in maintenance and support revenues, which declined by 12% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2007 due to lower renewal rates.

Operating expenses decreased $9.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. We experienced various decreases in operating expenses, primarily in sales and marketing due to a decrease in labor cost, including commissions expense due to the decline in bookings as noted underOther Key Revenue Metrics below. Bookings in fiscal 2009 were lower than in the same period of the prior year as we experienced delays in expected orders and carriers reevaluated spending in these uncertain economic times. Also, general and administrative costs decreased as a result of our FY 2008 Restructuring Plan, as discussed in more detail under Summary of Operating Results below. As of September 30, 2007, we had 831 employees, exclusive of employees related to Client and Musiwave. As of September 30, 2008, we had 618 employees.

Operating Environment During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

Data revenues continue to comprise a small, but growing, portion of mobile telecommunications operators’ total services revenue today, with voice and messaging continuing to serve as primary revenue drivers. Although data services revenues are growing, the average revenue per user, commonly referred to as ARPU, has remained flat over the last several years for many of Openwave’s mobile operator customers. One of the major contributing factors is that the industry has not made the sharing of communications and content simple enough for the consumer due to the current “multi-click and wait” environment. Openwave’s “zero click” access approach that is found in its OpenWeb, OpenMedia, OpenStream and Rich Mail products, is designed to simplify access to and sharing of content and

24

communications. These new technologies are designed to promote increased device usage and drive data growth in the industry in the mid-term. Until then, Openwave sees continued, but reduced, capital equipment spending levels by the operators in the infrastructure market overall. Many of the products that Openwave and our competitors sell will continue to be viewed by operators as cost centers that will maintain, but not grow, monthly ARPU until the industry succeeds in creating a simpler and intuitive experience for the user.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Openwave worked with mobile operators and handset manufacturers to enable the delivery of personalized content and communications. Selected customer highlights include:

Service Management

• Integra, Openwave’s next generation service management solution, features new functionalities, specifically multi-protocol and multi-service support, including a set of mobile internet service enablers. Openwave signed an agreement with Sprint for its new hosted OpenWeb solution for open internet browsing, which enables Sprint to provide browsing support for full HTML pages on mobile handsets.

• In Europe, Openwave also received an order from a top tier operator in support of its upcoming launch of open internet browsing services based on its OpenWeb solution, which is designed to deliver full internet content to mobile data-enabled devices.

Messaging

• SoftBank Telecom, one of Japan's largest telecommunication companies, selected Openwave Rich Mail, an AJAX-based solution that provides a dynamic web interface for broadband and mobile communications solutions.

• Openwave also signed an agreement with a major North American cable company to trial Openwave Rich Mail.

Location

• Openwave signed an agreement with a key operator based in Japan to deploy a new location solution based on Secure User Plan Location (SUPL) standards which is designed to enable higher accuracy location determination.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our business and prospects for our future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and other significant areas that involve management’s judgment and estimates. These significant accounting policies are:

• Revenue recognition

• Allowance for doubtful accounts

• Impairment assessment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets

• Stock-based compensation

• Restructuring-related assessments

With the exception of the following paragraph that updates factors considered in our critical accounting policy estimate for Impairment assessments of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies and judgments, please refer to the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q and to our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Impairment Assessments of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

On September 30, 2008, we had $59.3 million of goodwill on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We review goodwill for impairment annually and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired and that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results,

25

significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period, and decreases in our market capitalization below net assets for a sustained period. Given the recent decline in our stock price, management reviewed the recoverability of the Company's goodwill balance and concluded an impairment charge was not required as of September 30, 2008. However, our stock price has experienced additional significant declines since September 30, 2008. If the Company’s common stock price continues to trade below book value per common share, we may have to recognize an impairment of all, or some portion of, its goodwill and other intangible assets.

Summary of Operating Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenues

We generate three different types of revenues. License revenues are primarily associated with the licensing of our software products to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers; maintenance and support revenues are derived from providing support services to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers; services revenues are primarily a result of providing deployment and integration consulting services to communication service providers; service revenues may include a limited amount of packaged solution elements which may be comprised of our software licenses, professional services, third-party software and hardware.

The majority of our revenues have been from a limited number of customers and our sales are concentrated in a single industry segment. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 we had two significant customers, as shown in the following table:

	% of Total Revenue Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Customer:
Sprint Nextel	26	%	25	%
AT&T	13	%	10	%

26

The following table presents the key revenue information for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007
Revenues:
License	$	14,327		$	12,619		14	%
Maintenance and support		16,378			18,557		-12	%
Services		20,340			21,794		-7	%
Total Revenues	$	51,045		$	52,970		-4	%
Percent of revenues:
License		28	%		24	%
Maintenance and support		32	%		35	%
Services		40	%		41	%
Total Revenues		100	%		100	%

License Revenues

License revenues increased by 14% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in license revenues was due to the introduction of new products since our product transitioning was in the early stages in the prior year and resulted in moderately lower license revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Maintenance and Support Revenues

Maintenance and support revenues decreased by 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease is a result of the reduced renewal rates and lower bookings over the past twelve months.

Services Revenues

Services revenue decreased by 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2008, was primarily related to the decline in bookings as discussed above.

Other Key Revenue Metrics

The other key metrics utilized by the Company for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance include bookings and backlog. Bookings comprise the aggregate value of all new arrangements executed during a period. We define backlog as the aggregate value of all existing arrangements less revenue recognized to date. For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, bookings were approximately $29.3 million, down 14.8%, or $5.1 million, from approximately $34.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. These bookings resulted in a backlog of approximately $220.1 million as of September 30, 2008, essentially unchanged from $220.2 million as of September 30, 2007. Bookings related to royalty or usage arrangements are recognized concurrently with the related revenue and therefore do not impact backlog. Revenue resulting from bookings is generally recognized over the subsequent 12 to 18 months, and is subject to our revenue recognition policy as described above under Critical Accounting Policies.

27

Cost of Revenues

The following table presents cost of revenues as a percentage of related revenue type for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007
Cost of revenues:
License	$	2,266		$	2,107		8	%
Maintenance and support		4,258			6,362		-33	%
Services		14,447			16,582		-13	%
Total Cost of Revenues	$	20,971		$	25,051		-16	%
	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008			2007
Gross margin per related revenue category:
License		84	%		83	%
Maintenance and support		74	%		66	%
Services		29	%		24	%
Total Gross Margin		59	%		53	%

Cost of License Revenues

Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party license fees and amortization of developed technology and customer contract intangible assets related to our acquisitions.

Costs of license revenues increased by 8% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase is attributable to the mix of products being sold, given that products which contain third-party software have royalty costs associated with those sales. Additionally, regardless of sales mix in any particular quarter, certain royalties are amortized at a minimum amount over the period products are licensed to us, regardless of the associated revenues we record.

Cost of Maintenance and Support Revenues

Cost of maintenance and support revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in support services to wireless device manufacturers and communication service providers.

Cost of maintenance and support decreased 33% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in cost of maintenance and support revenues is attributed to a decrease in labor costs and associated allocations.

Cost of Services Revenues

Cost of services revenues consists of compensation and independent consultant costs for personnel engaged in performing professional services, hardware purchased for resale, and related overhead.

Cost of services decreased by 13% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus the prior year is related to the decrease in services revenue of 7%. Costs of services did not decrease as much as services revenue decreased due to certain fixed services costs that continue regardless of revenue recognized.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by 20% the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year.

28

The following table represents operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Percent Change
	2008			2007
Operating expenses:
Research and development	$	12,286		$	12,314		0	%
Sales and marketing		10,744			17,420		-38	%
General and administrative		10,620			13,719		-23	%
Restructuring and other related costs		1,903			1,208		58	%
Amortization of intangible assets		26			27		-4	%
Total Operating Expenses	$	35,579		$	44,688		-20	%
Percent of Revenues:
Research and development		24	%		23	%
Sales and marketing		21	%		33	%
General and administrative		21	%		26	%

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist principally of salary and benefit expenses for software developers, contracted development efforts, related facilities costs, and expenses associated with computer equipment used in software development. We believe that investments in research and development, including recruiting and hiring of software developers, are critical to remain competitive in the marketplace and directly relate to continued development of new and enhanced products.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, research and development costs remained consistent when compared with the corresponding period in the prior year.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses include salary and benefit expenses, sales commissions, travel expenses, and related facility costs for our sales and marketing personnel, and amortization of customer relationship intangibles. Sales and marketing expenses also include the costs of trade shows, public relations, promotional materials, redeployed professional service employees and other market development programs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, sales and marketing costs decreased by 38% compared with the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in workforce as part of the FY2008 Restructuring Plan, and a decrease of 14.8% in bookings from the same period of the prior year, which collectively resulted in a decrease of $5.8 million in salary, commissions and associated costs, as well as a $0.7 million decrease in stock based compensation.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salary and benefit expenses, travel expenses, and facility costs for our finance, human resources, legal, information services and executive personnel. General and administrative expenses also include outside legal and accounting fees, provision for doubtful accounts, and expenses associated with computer equipment and software used in administration of the business.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, general and administrative costs decreased 23% compared with the corresponding period in the prior year. This decrease from the prior year can be attributed to the reduction in workforce from the FY2008 Restructuring Plan, which resulted in a reduction in both labor and related costs of $2.8 million and stock-based compensation of $0.3 million.

29

Restructuring and Other Related Costs

Restructuring and other related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2008, increased by 58% over the same period in the prior year. This can be attributed to an increase in new charges of $0.2 million over the prior year, as well as charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to accelerated depreciation of $0.2 million and facility exit costs of $0.3 million.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

The following table presents the amortization of intangible assets (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Developed and core technology	$	1,106	$	1,134
Customer contracts - licenses		6		137
Customer contracts - support		17		18
Workforce in place		26		27
Client operations		—		1,452
	$	1,155	$	2,768

The decrease in amortization in fiscal year 2008 reflects the sale of Client in June 2008 and Musiwave in December 2007. Refer to Note 3 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Amortization of developed and core technology and customer contracts for licenses is included in cost of license revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. These assets are being amortized over an average useful life of four years.

Amortization of acquired customer support contracts is included in Cost of revenues—Maintenance and support. These assets are being amortized over an approximate useful life of three years.

Amortization of workforce in place is included in Operating expenses. These assets are being amortized over an average useful life of four years.

Interest Income

Interest income was approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with $3.3 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2008 can be attributed to lower interest rates and the utilization of $150.0 million of cash for repayment of our convertible subordinated notes.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared with $1.2 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The majority of our interest expense related to our convertible subordinated notes issued in September 2003 and all outstanding principal and interest was paid on September 9, 2008, which accounts for the decrease in interest expense from the prior year.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net was approximately $(7.3) million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The three months ended September 30, 2008 includes an other-than-temporary impairment of $5.6 million recorded on certain investments during the period.

30

There was no such expense in the same period of the prior year. The remaining amounts primarily relate to foreign exchange gains and losses on foreign denominated assets and liabilities.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense consisted of foreign withholding tax, foreign corporate tax and foreign deferred tax. Both foreign withholding tax and foreign corporate tax fluctuate quarterly based on the product and geographic mix of our revenue, with a resulting fluctuation in our quarterly effective tax rate.

Income tax expense equaled 4.2% of loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with 4.6% in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decline is due to lower taxable income in our foreign subsidiaries, due to lower operating costs which in turn reduce taxable profits generated under intercompany cost-plus arrangements.

In light of our history of operating losses we recorded a full valuation allowance for our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until there is sufficient evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized. As of September 30, 2008, we have foreign deferred tax assets recorded of approximately $5.1 million in selected countries based upon our conclusion that it is more likely than not that the foreign subsidiaries in the respective countries will earn future taxable profits enabling the realization of their respective deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2008, we have approximately $0.7 million of deferred tax liabilities recorded with respect to acquisitions for which the amortization expense of acquired intangibles is not deductible for tax purposes.

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we sold our Client operations to Purple Labs, a private company based in Chambéry, France. The terms of the agreement include initial consideration of $20.0 million in cash received by the Company on June 27, 2008 and a note receivable of $5.8 million which was paid in July 2008. Additionally, $4.2 million was placed in escrow by the purchaser for a period of one year to secure indemnification claims made by the purchaser, if any. The initial consideration also included warrants to purchase 2% of Purple Labs common stock. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we met the terms of the Earnout provision in the sale agreement and received $2.0 million which was recorded as an additional $2.0 million gain on sale of discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), the Client operations financial results have been classified as a discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we acquired Musiwave, S.A. (“Musiwave”), a leading provider of mobile music entertainment services to operators and media companies primarily in Europe. The Company committed to a plan to sell its interest in Musiwave in June 2007. In accordance with SFAS 144, Musiwave’s financial results were classified as a discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The net assets associated with Musiwave were classified as “held-for-sale” from June 30, 2007 until its disposition on December 31, 2007.

On December 31, 2007, the Company sold Musiwave for $41.4 million in cash, a note receivable of $5.9 million which was paid in full on July 3, 2008, and $4.6 million which the purchaser placed in escrow for a period of one year to secure indemnification claims made by the purchaser, if any. The Company recognized a gain of $16.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The purchase price is subject to a potential purchase price adjustment regarding working capital, if any, which will be reflected as gain/(loss) on sale of discontinued operation in the period determined. A gain on the sale of discontinued operations will be recognized if and when funds are distributed from escrow.

31

Operating Lease Obligations and Contractual Obligations

There has been no material change to our contractual obligations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. As such, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 for a description of our facility leases and Note 10 in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We currently have subleased a portion of our unused facilities which will generate sublease income in aggregate of approximately $34.2 million through our fiscal year 2013.

In connection with our acquisition of WiderWeb, in addition to the original consideration paid for the purchase, we may pay contingent consideration (“WiderWeb Earn Out”) of up to an additional $4.0 million. The actual amount, if any, will be determined based upon the achievement of revenue-related targets by the WiderWeb product line over various periods between closing and February 8, 2009. A total of $1.4 million of the WiderWeb Earn Out has been achieved as of September 30, 2008 and was added to goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time the contingency was resolved. The remaining potential WiderWeb Earn Out pursuant to the merger agreement is $2.6 million as of September 30, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2008, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital and Cash Flows

The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2008			June 30, 2008			Percent Change
Working capital	$	83,538		$	80,926		3	%
Cash and cash investments:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	61,437		$	196,150		-69	%
Short-term investments		26,770			28,659		-7	%
Long-term investments		21,531			34,782		-38	%
Restricted cash and investments		17,637			17,679		0	%
Total cash and cash investments	$	127,375		$	277,270		-54	%
	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2008			2007
Cash used for operating activities	$	(2,923	)	$	(10,446	)
Cash provided by investing activities	$	18,210		$	55,623
Cash used for financing activities	$	(150,000	)	$	(447	)

We have obtained a majority of our cash and investments through public offerings of common stock and convertible debt, including a common stock offering in December 2005 which raised $277.8 million in net proceeds. In addition, we received approximately $145.7 million from the issuance of our $150.0 million convertible subordinated notes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Subsequently, in September 2008 we paid all of the outstanding principal and interest on the Company’s convertible subordinated notes totaling approximately $150.0 million. While we believe that our current working capital and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for daily operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, we may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, obtain a credit facility or sell certain assets. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional debt securities, these securities could have rights,

32

preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock, and the terms of any debt could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If additional financing is necessary and we are unable to obtain the additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. In the meantime, we will continue to manage our cash portfolios in a manner designed to ensure that we have adequate cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations as well as future acquisitions, if any.

Working capital

Our working capital increased by approximately $2.6 million, or 3%, from June 30, 2008 to September 30, 2008. Significant cash inflows within working capital include cash provided by accounts receivable in excess of billings of $21.1 million, offset by $10.8 million used to pay down accrued liabilities during the first fiscal quarter, primarily accrued legal and accounting fees incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, accrued interest paid on the convertible debt, and accrued vacation paid to former employees of the Client operations.

Cash used for operating activities

Cash used for operating activities decreased by $7.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared with cash used for operating activities in the corresponding period of the prior year. This decline in cash used can primarily be attributed to improved cash from net loss excluding non-cash items of $5.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in working capital balances within operating assets and liabilities of $2.3 million.

Cash provided by investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $18.2 million, down $37.4 million from $55.6 million provided by investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2007. This change was primarily due to the $47.7 million decrease in proceeds from sales of short-term and investments, net of proceeds from maturities of investments during the same timeframe. Additionally, we received proceeds from the sales of discontinued operations of $9.7 million, net of payments made in providing transitional services, and deal costs. We expect to receive $2.3 million in reimbursements for transitional services during the second fiscal quarter of 2009. This amount is reflected in Amounts receivable from sales of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Cash flows used for financing activities

Net cash used for financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $150.0 million, compared with cash used for financing activities of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. This increase in cash used is due to the payment in September 2008 of the outstanding principal and interest on the Company’s convertible subordinated notes of $150.0 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

(a) Foreign Currency Risk

We operate internationally and are exposed to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. We have entered into foreign exchange derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to foreign currency rate changes on receivables, payables and intercompany balances denominated in a nonfunctional currency. The objective of these derivatives is to neutralize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. These derivatives may require us to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements because the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally offset with the gains and losses of the foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not enter into foreign exchange transactions for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we hedge foreign currency exposures in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of movement in exchange rates. We do not designate our foreign exchange option contracts as accounting hedges and, accordingly, we adjust these instruments to fair value through earnings in the period of change in their fair value. Net foreign exchange transaction

33

gains included in “Other expense, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $(1.8) million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we have the following option contracts (in $000’s):

Currency	Notional Amount	Foreign Currency per USD	Date of Maturity
AUD	1,700	1.23	10/29/08
AUD	5,000	1.23	11/26/08
CAD	3,000	1.04	10/29/08
EUR	5,000	0.70	10/29/08
JPY	450,000	107.00	10/29/08

(b) Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and restricted cash and investments of $127.4 million. Our exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates relates primarily to corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury Notes and certificates of deposit. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers that have a rating by Moody's of A2 or higher and Standard & Poor’s of A or higher, and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure to any one issuer. Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents; all investments with maturities of three months or greater and less than one year are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be short-term investments; all investments with remaining maturities greater than one year are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be long-term investments. We do not purchase investments with a maturity date greater than three years from the date of purchase.

The following is a chart of the principal amounts of short-term investments and long-term investments by expected maturity at September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

	Expected maturity for the year ending June 30,							Cost Value		Fair Value
	2009		2010		Thereafter			September 30, 2008 Total		September 30, 2008 Total
Enhanced Cash Money Market		2,431		1,035		—			3,466		3,466
Certificates of Deposit		1,783		—		—			1,783		1,783
Corporate Bonds		15,559		10,865		471			26,895		26,279
Auction Rate Securities		—		—		17,000			17,000		16,773
Total	$	19,773	$	11,900	$	17,471		$	49,144	$	48,301
Weighted-average interest rate						4.2	%

Additionally, we had $17.6 million of restricted investments that were included within restricted cash and investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. $17.4 million of the restricted investments comprised a certificate of deposit to collateralize letters of credit for facility leases, and $0.2 million comprised a restricted investment to secure a warranty bond pursuant to a customer contract. The weighted average interest rate on our restricted investments was 2.8% at September 30, 2008. There have been no significant changes in risk exposure since September 30, 2008.

As of September 30, 2008, $16.8 million in certain auction rate securities, recorded in long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, were considered illiquid based upon recent auction results. These instruments are all rated AAA by Standard and Poor’s and Aaa by Moody’s and $14.8 million of these illiquid investments are insured against defaults of principal and interest up to the $17.0 million par value by third party insurance companies. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded a $4.4 million other-than-temporary impairment on these ARS. The loss was considered other-than-temporary given the length of time the ARS have been illiquid, and the significant amount of the loss incurred. If the fair value of these securities decrease further, we may be required to record additional losses on these investments if the decline in value is not deemed temporary.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

IPO securities class action

On November 5, 2001, a securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In re Openwave Systems Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). It is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The defendants are the Company and five of its present or former officers (the “Openwave Defendants”), and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering and secondary public offering. Three of the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice, subject to a tolling of the statute of limitations. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), on the grounds that the registration statements for the offerings did not disclose that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued by Credit Suisse First Boston, Hambrecht & Quist, Robertson Stephens, and Piper Jaffray. No specific damages are claimed. Similar allegations were made in over 300 other lawsuits challenging public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, and the cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes.

The Company had accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants. Under such settlement proposal, plaintiffs would have dismissed and released all claims against the Openwave Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment by the insurance companies responsible for insuring the issuers and for the assignment or surrender of control of certain claims the Company may have against the underwriters. The Openwave Defendants would not be required to make any cash payment in the settlement, unless the pro rata amount paid by the insurers in the settlement exceeds the amount of insurance coverage, a circumstance which the Company does not believe will occur. The settlement required approval of the Court, which could not be assured, after class members were given the opportunity to object to or opt out of the settlement. The Court held a hearing on April 24, 2006 to consider whether final approval should be granted. Subsequently, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the class certification of plaintiffs’ claims against the underwriters in six cases designated as focus or test cases. Miles v. Merrill Lynch & Co. (In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation), 471 F.3d 24 (2d Cir. 2006). Thereafter, the District Court ordered a stay of all proceedings in all of the lawsuits pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc and resolution of the class certification issue. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the District Court. Accordingly, the parties withdrew the prior settlement, and Plaintiffs submitted amended complaints in designated focus or test cases with a revised class definition, in an attempt to comply with the Second Circuit’s ruling.

On March 26, 2008, the District Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part motions to dismiss the amended complaints in the focus cases. In particular, the District Court denied the motions to dismiss as to the Section 10(b) claims. It also denied the motions to dismiss as to the Section 11 claims except for those claims raised by two different classes of plaintiffs. More specifically, the District Court dismissed the Section 11 claims raised by (1) those plaintiffs who had no conceivable damages because they sold their securities above the offering price; and (2) those plaintiffs whose claims were time barred because they purchased their securities outside the previously certified class period. We believe a loss is not probable or reasonably estimable. Therefore no amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2008.

Government Investigations

On May 18, 2006, the Company received an informal notice from the SEC advising that the SEC had commenced an informal inquiry into the Company’s stock option grants and options-granting practices. The SEC’s letter requested that the Company produce documents related to the Company’s stock options-granting practices. In June 2006, the Company received subpoenas from the United States Attorneys for the Northern District of California

36

and the Southern District of New York also requesting documents relating to the Company's stock options-granting practices. The Company has cooperated with the SEC and the U.S. Attorneys in these matters and intends to continue to do so. These investigations remain open; however, the Company has not received any recent communications from the SEC or the U.S. Attorneys regarding these matters.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

Seven substantially similar shareholder derivative actions were filed in California state and federal courts, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against various of the Company's former and then-current directors and officers. The plaintiffs allege that the individual defendants mismanaged corporate assets and breached their fiduciary duties between 1999 and 2005 by authorizing or failing to halt the back-dating of certain stock options. The plaintiffs also allege that certain defendants were unjustly enriched by the receipt and retention of backdated stock options and that certain of the defendants sold Openwave stock for a profit while in possession of material, non-public information. Certain of the plaintiffs also allege that the Company issued false and misleading financial disclosures and proxy statements from 1999 through 2005 and that the individual defendants engaged in a fraudulent scheme to divert money to themselves via improper option grants. The complaints seek various forms of equitable relief (including, among other things, disgorgement of profits, rescission of options contracts, accounting and certain corporate governance reforms) as well as unspecified money damages. The Company is named as a nominal defendant in all of the actions. However, because the plaintiffs purport to bring these claims on the Company’s behalf, no relief is sought against the Company.

On September 5, 2006, the California Superior Court for the County of San Mateo consolidated the three actions pending before it into a single action captioned In re: Openwave Systems Inc. Derivative Litigation (Consolidated Case No. CIV 455265) and appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel. On September 29, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended shareholder derivative complaint. The action seeks to have the defendants disgorge certain options they received, including the proceeds of the options exercised, treble damages for violations of Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code, punitive damages as well as certain equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 21, 2006, the individual defendants, joined by nominal defendant Openwave, filed a motion to stay the state court actions pending resolution of the federal actions. On December 12, 2006, the state court granted the defendants’ motion to stay. The court required the parties to attend periodic status conferences until the federal actions are resolved and permitted the plaintiffs in the state court actions to ask the court to lift the stay if circumstances change. As a result of the judgment of dismissal entered on August 13, 2008 in federal actions, on October 3, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the state court actions on the grounds that they are barred by the federal court’s judgment. The consolidated state court action is in its very early stages. No amount is accrued as of September 30, 2008 as a loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable.

On March 12, 2008, the Company received a demand letter from an attorney purporting to represent two shareholders of the Company, Henry Sherupski and Manfred Hacker (the “Demand Letter”). The litigation proposed by the Demand Letter is substantially similar to that previously brought by the same and other purported shareholders in the above described federal shareholder derivative litigation in which the Court recently entered a judgment of dismissal. The Demand Letter requests that the Company commence litigation against certain individuals who currently serve or previously served as directors, officers, or employees of the Company, for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, waste, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, violations of California statute and other misconduct in connection with the Company’s stock option practices and public reporting of certain financial results during the periods fiscal 1999 through fiscal 2005. In response to the Demand Letter, as described above, the Board formed a special litigation committee to consider the plaintiffs' demand. The special litigation committee is currently conducting an investigation into the matters raised in the Demand Letter. No amount is accrued as of September 30, 2008 as a loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable.

Securities Class Action

Between February 21, and March 27, 2007, four substantially similar securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Openwave and four current and former officers of the Company. The complaints purport to be filed on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased Openwave stock from September 30, 2002 through October 26, 2006 (the “Class Period”), and allege that during the Class Period, the defendants engaged in improper stock options backdating and issued materially false and misleading statements in the Company’s public filings and press releases regarding the manner in which Openwave granted and accounted for the options.

37

On April 25, 2007, the Company and the individual defendants filed a joint motion to transfer the actions to the Northern District of California where the related shareholder derivative class actions are pending. On May 18, 2007, the court entered an order consolidating the four securities class actions into a single action captioned In re: Openwave Systems Securities Litigation (Master File 07-1309 (DLC)), and appointing the lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel. On June 14, 2007, the court entered an order denying the motion to transfer.

On June 29, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended class action complaint. The consolidated and amended complaint adds 17 additional defendants, including several current and former Openwave officers and directors, KPMG LLP, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. The consolidated and amended complaint alleges claims for violation of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20(A) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, as well as claims for violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act arising out of the Company’s 2005 public offering. The complaint seeks money damages, equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

On August 10, 2007, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated and amended class action complaint. On October 31, 2007, the court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. The court granted the motions to dismiss claims asserted under the Securities Act as to all defendants against whom those claims were asserted, and granted the motion to dismiss the Exchange Act claims by certain of the officer and director defendants, but denied the motion to dismiss the Exchange Act claims asserted against Openwave and certain of the other director and officer defendants. As a result of the court’s decision, KPMG LLP, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC were dismissed as defendants from the litigation. The Company and certain of its former officers and certain former and current directors remained as defendants.

The parties commenced discovery with respect to class certification and the merits. On June 23, 2008, the lead plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On July 18, 2008, the Company filed its opposition to the lead plaintiff's motion, and all of the individual defendants joined in that opposition.

On October 24, 2008, while the motion for class certification was pending and discovery was ongoing, the lead plaintiff and defendants reached an agreement to settle the action. On November 5, 2008, the court entered a preliminary order approving the settlement. The settlement will be funded in part by insurance and in part by the Company. The settlement is subject to court approval.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company accrued for a legal settlement of $20.0 million, offset by a $15.0 million receivable from the insurance carriers, leaving the net amount of $5.0 million as the Company’s estimate of its settlement cost.

Simmonds v. Credit Suisse Group, et al.

On October 3, 2007, Vanessa Simmonds filed a stockholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (Case No.C07-1580 JLR) on behalf of Openwave naming Credit Suisse Group, Bank of America Corporation, and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. as defendants. Openwave is named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants, all of whom acted as co-lead underwriters for Openwave’s 1999 initial public offering, violated the “short-swing profit” prohibition set forth in Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by purchasing and selling Openwave securities within a six-month period, and violated Section 16(a) by failing to report transactions in Openwave’s securities as a group. The plaintiff demands that each of the defendants disgorge profits from all transactions in Openwave’s securities found to be in violation of Section 16(b), prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation or other legal proceedings, including those noted above, relating to or arising out of its day-to-day operations or otherwise. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company could experience unfavorable rulings. Should the Company experience an unfavorable ruling, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or on its business for the period in which the ruling occurs and/or in future periods.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company; additional risks and uncertainties may not be currently known to or may be deemed immaterial by management but could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes or additions to the Risk Factors.

Adverse changes in general economic or political conditions could adversely affect our operating results.

Our business can be affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control such as general geopolitical and economic conditions, conditions in the financial services markets, the overall demand for our products and services and general political and economic developments. A weakening of the global economy, or economic conditions in the United States or other key markets, could cause delays in and decreases in demand for our products. For example, there is increasing uncertainty about the direction and relative strength of the United States economy because of the various challenges that are currently affecting it. If the challenging economic conditions in the United States and other key countries persist or worsen, other customers may delay or reduce spending. This could result in reductions in sales of our products and services, longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. Any of these events would likely harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
