UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2011

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “Open Text” or the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of System Solutions Australia Pty Limited (MessageManager), which is the sole shareholder of MessageManager Solutions Pty Limited, with effect from October 31, 2011, Operitel Corporation (Operitel), with effect from September 1, 2011, and Global 360 Holding Corp. (Global 360), with effect from July 13, 2011 (see note 17).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

Change in Accounting Policy

Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10 “Income Taxes” (Topic 740-10) in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had elected to follow an accounting policy to classify interest related to liabilities for income taxes under the ‘Interest income / (expense), net’ line and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes under the ‘Other income / (expense)’ line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we elected to change this accounting policy to classify both interest and penalties relating to liabilities for income taxes in the ‘Provision for (recovery of) income taxes’ line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The revised classification is more appropriate under the circumstances for the following reasons:

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 we entered into a new credit agreement (see note 10) which effectively doubled our bank-related borrowings. In the context of this event, we believe it is preferable for the ‘Interest income/(expense), net’ line to be reflective of financial interest income and interest expense relating to borrowings.

The revised policy is more aligned with the accounting policy followed by the Company’s publicly listed competitors and would lead to enhanced comparability with the Company’s publicly listed competitors;

The internal reorganization of the Company’s international subsidiaries in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, to consolidate our international intellectual property in certain jurisdictions and recent business acquisitions have increased the complexity of determining the Company’s liability for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions and it is preferable to record the related interest and penalties associated with the liability for income taxes as a component of the “Provision for (recovery of) income taxes” line within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As a result of this accounting policy change certain prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation. “Other (expense), net” was increased by approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 from previously reported amounts. ‘Interest (expense), net’ was reduced by approximately $0.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 from previously reported amounts. The ‘Provision for income taxes’ was increased by approximately $0.02 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010.

There was no change to income from operations, net income or net income per share in any of the periods presented as a result of these reclassifications.

Comprehensive income

The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive income for the reporting periods indicated:


	Three months ended December 31,					Six months ended December 31,
	2011			2010		2011			2010

NOTE 2—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICY UPDATES

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05)”, to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity.

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (ASU 2011-12), which indefinitely defers the requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of

AOCI in both net income and other comprehensive income (OCI) on the face of the financial statements. Companies will continue to be required to present amounts reclassified out of AOCI on the face of the financial statements or disclose those amounts in the notes to the financial statements. During the deferral period, there is no requirement to separately present or disclose the reclassification adjustments into net income. The ASU does not affect the main provision of ASU 2011-05.

ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 are effective for us in our first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013) and will be applied retrospectively.

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2011-04)”, to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements (as defined in note 14). ASU 2011-04 is effective for us in our third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012) and we do not believe these provisions will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Testing Goodwill for Impairment

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (ASU 2011-08), to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for us in Fiscal 2013 and earlier adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to materially impact the carrying value of our recorded goodwill.

Balance Sheet Offsetting Disclosures

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2011-11), which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The purpose of ASU 2011-11 is to create a converged offsetting model that would eliminate a significant quantitative difference between balance sheets prepared under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-11 is effective for us in our third quarter of Fiscal 2013 and will be applied retrospectively for comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2011-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

The weighted average amortization period for acquired technology and customer intangible assets is approximately 5 years and 7 years, respectively.

The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense for the fiscal years indicated below. This calculation assumes no future adjustments to acquired intangible assets:


	Fiscal years ending June 30,

2013		135,571
2014		76,990
2015		53,203
2016 and beyond		46,782

Total	$	381,922

On November 15, 2011, we acquired certain patents. The total purchase price was $0.6 million. Payment terms under the agreement require us to pay $0.2 million upon signing the purchase agreement, $0.2 million 18 months following the purchase date and a final payment of $0.2 million two years following the purchase date. The purchase of these patents is considered to be the acquisition of “defensive intangible assets” and has been accounted for under ASC Topic 350-30-25 “General Intangibles Other than Goodwill”, as well as in accordance with ASC Topic 805-50-05 “Acquisition of Assets Rather than a Business”. The patents have an amortization period of approximately 11 years.

Accruals relating to acquisitions

In relation to our acquisitions made before July 1, 2009, the date on which we adopted ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (ASC Topic 805), we have accrued for costs relating to abandonment of excess legacy facilities. Such accruals were capitalized as part of the cost of the subject acquisition and have been recorded at present value less our best estimate for future sub-lease income and costs incurred to achieve sub-tenancy. The accrual for excess facilities will be discharged over the term of the respective leases. Any excess of the difference between the present value and actual cash paid for an abandoned facility will be charged to income and any deficits will be reversed to goodwill. The provisions for abandoned facilities are expected to be paid by February 2015.

Asset retirement obligations

We are required to return certain of our leased facilities to their original state at the conclusion of our lease. We have accounted for such obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (ASC Topic 410). As of December 31, 2011, the present value of this obligation was $4.7 million (June 30, 2011—$6.1 million), with an undiscounted value of $5.2 million (June 30, 2011—$6.5 million). Also see note 16 for “Other charges” related to asset retirement obligations.

Term Loan and Revolver

On November 9, 2011, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a $700 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Agreement) with certain financial institutions. The Agreement provides for a $600 million term loan facility (the Term Loan) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver).

On November 9, 2011, the Company borrowed $600 million under the Term Loan. The Term Loan has a 5 year term and repayments made under the Term Loan are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. Our first quarterly scheduled principal payment is approximately $7.5 million and is due during the third quarter of Fiscal 2012. The Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $2.5 million relating to the Term Loan.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded interest on our old term loan (up until November 9, 2011) of approximately $0.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively (three and six months ended December 31, 2010—$1.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively).

The Revolver has a 5 year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2011, we have not drawn down from the Revolver.

On November 9, 2011, we used a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan to repay all of our previously outstanding credit facility debt in the amount of $332.9 million.

Mortgage

In December 2005, we entered into a 5 year mortgage agreement with the bank. The principal amount of the mortgage was for Canadian $15.0 million and was originally scheduled to mature on January 1, 2011. During Fiscal 2011, the mortgage was extended and is now open for Open Text to pay all or a portion of the mortgage prior to July 1, 2012. The principal amount of the mortgage did not change upon extension, however, interest now accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50% (instead of a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum). Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage continues to be secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

As of December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the mortgage was $11.7 million (June 30, 2011—$12.6 million).

As of December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $16.5 million (June 30, 2011—$15.4 million).

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to the mortgage (three and six months ended December 31, 2010—$0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively).

NOTE 11—PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS

CDT Defined Benefit Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

The following are the components of net periodic benefit costs for the CDT pension plan and the details of the change in the benefit obligation for the periods indicated:


	As of December 31, 2011			As of June 30, 2011
Benefit obligation—beginning of period	$	18,231		$	15,507
Service cost		166			350
Interest cost		444			868
Benefits paid		(213	)		(423	)
Actuarial (gain) loss		209			(688	)
Foreign exchange (gain) loss		(1,718	)		2,617

Benefit obligation—end of period		17,119			18,231
Less: current portion		(480	)		(489	)

Noncurrent portion of benefit obligation	$	16,639		$	17,742

The following are the details of net pension expense for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:


	Three months ended December 31,				Six months ended December 31,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Pension expense:
Service cost	$	81	$	83	$	166	$	169
Interest cost		217		206		444		420

Net pension expense	$	298	$	289	$	610	$	589

The CDT pension plan is an unfunded plan and therefore no contributions have been made since the inception of the plan.

In determining the fair value of the CDT pension plan benefit obligations as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:


	As of December 31, 2011			As of June 30, 2011
Assumptions:
Salary increases		2.25	%		2.25	%
Pension increases		1.75	%		1.50	%
Discount rate		5.30	%		5.25	%

Employee fluctuation rate:
to age 30		1.00	%		1.00	%
to age 35		0.50	%		0.50	%
to age 40		0.00	%		0.00	%
to age 45		0.50	%		0.50	%
to age 50		0.50	%		0.50	%
from age 51		1.00	%		1.00	%

Anticipated pension payments under the CDT pension plan for the fiscal years indicated below are as follows:


2012 (six months ending June 30)	$	224
2013		513
2014		598
2015		637
2016		731
2017 to 2021		4,685

Total	$	7,388

CDT Long-term Employee Benefit Obligations

CDT’s long-term employee benefit obligations arise under CDT’s “Anniversary plan” and an early retirement plan. The obligation is unfunded and carried at a fair value of $0.5 million for the Anniversary plan and $0.1 million for the early retirement plan as of December 31, 2011 ($0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011).

IXOS AG Defined Benefit Plans

Included in our pension liability, as of December 31, 2011, is a net amount of $19,000 (June 30, 2011—$9,000) that relates to two IXOS defined benefit pensions plans (IXOS pension plans) in connection with certain former members of the IXOS Board of Directors and certain IXOS employees, respectively. The net periodic pension cost with respect to the IXOS pension plans is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets.

NOTE 12—SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share Capital

Our authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of preference shares. No preference shares have been issued.

Treasury Stock

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we did not purchase any of our Common Shares.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we repurchased 264,834 Open Text Common Shares, in the amount of $12.5 million, for potential future reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP). No such purchases were made in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, we have not reissued any Common Shares from treasury (June 30, 2011—nil).

Share-Based Payments

Total share-based compensation cost for the periods indicated below is detailed as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,				Six months ended December 31,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Stock options	$	974	$	784	$	1,772	$	1,781
Restricted stock units (legacy Vignette employees)		9		28		20		76
Deferred stock units (Directors)		64		53		129		105
Performance stock units (LTIP 3 and LTIP 4)		2,350		1,872		6,320		3,375

Total share-based compensation expense	$	3,397	$	2,737	$	8,241	$	5,337

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of December 31, 2011, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,837,552 Common Shares were outstanding and 1,207,795 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options we grant is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of option activity under our stock option plans for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is as follows:


	Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2011		2,277,733		$	24.51
Granted		142,000			52.16
Exercised		(562,931	)		18.19
Forfeited or expired		(19,250	)		34.25

Outstanding at December 31, 2011		1,837,552		$	28.48		3.20	$	42,083

Exercisable at December 31, 2011		1,333,177		$	22.71		2.42	$	37,903

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (ASC Topic 718), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.

We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

For the periods indicated, the following weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions used were as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,						Six months ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	17.99		$	14.97		$	17.71		$	14.97
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility		41	%		40	%		41	%		40	%
Risk–free interest rate		0.74	%		1.4	%		0.79	%		1.4	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%		0	%
Expected life (in years)		4.3			4.3			4.3			4.3
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)		5	%		5	%		5	%		5	%

As of December 31, 2011, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock awards not yet recognized was $5.7 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, cash in the amount of $3.0 million and $10.2 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, cash in the amount of $1.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) and Performance Stock Units (PSUs)

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we granted 6,760 and 7,023 deferred stock units (DSUs), respectively, to certain nonemployee directors (DSUs granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2010—4,721 and 4,878). The DSUs were issued under the Company’s Deferred Share Unit Plan that came into effect on February 2, 2010 and will vest at the Company’s next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs.

We did not grant any PSUs under the Fiscal 2011 Long Term incentive Plan (LTIP 4) or the Fiscal 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP 3) during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, we granted 264,834 PSUs, respectively, under LTIP 4 and nil under LTIP 3. Awards achieved under the LTIP 3 and LTIP 4 will be settled over the three-year period ending June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards (RSAs)

On July 21, 2009, we granted, as part of our acquisition of Vignette, 574,767 Open Text restricted stock awards (RSAs) to certain legacy Vignette employees and directors as replacement for similar restricted stock awards held by these employees and directors when they were employed by Vignette. These awards were valued at $13.33 per RSA on July 21, 2009, and a portion was allocated to the purchase price of Vignette. The remaining portion is amortized, as part of share-based compensation expense, over the vesting period of these awards.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

On September 10, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the implementation of an incentive plan called the “Open Text Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan” (LTIP). The LTIP is a rolling three-year program whereby we make a series of annual grants, each of which covers a three-year performance period, to certain of our employees, and which vests upon the employee and/or the Company meeting pre-determined performance and market-based criteria.

Grants made in Fiscal 2008 under the LTIP (LTIP 1) took effect in Fiscal 2008, starting on July 1, 2007. Awards under LTIP 1 have been settled in cash in the aggregate amount of $14.4 million as of the first quarter of Fiscal 2011.

Grants made in Fiscal 2009 under the LTIP (LTIP 2) took effect in Fiscal 2009 starting on July 1, 2008. Awards under LTIP 2 are equal to 100% of the target. Awards under LTIP 2 have been settled in cash in the aggregate amount of $10.7 million as of the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Grants made in Fiscal 2010 under the LTIP (LTIP 3) took effect in Fiscal 2010 starting on July 1, 2009. Awards under LTIP 3 may be equal to 50%, 100% or 150% of the target. We expect to settle LTIP 3 awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2011 under the LTIP (LTIP 4) took effect in Fiscal 2011 starting on July 1, 2010. Awards under LTIP 4 may be equal to 50%, 100% or 150% of the target. We expect to settle LTIP 4 awards in stock.

PSUs granted under the LTIP equity plans (LTIP 3 and 4) have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with ASC Topic 718 and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, $2.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, has been charged to share-based compensation expense on account of the LTIP equity plans (three and six months ended December 31, 2010—$1.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively).

Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, cash in the amount of approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million respectively, was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods (three and six months ended December 31, 2010—$0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively).

NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.

In the current quarter we changed our accounting policy regarding the classification of interest and penalties related to liabilities for income tax expense. Upon adoption of FIN 48 we had elected to follow an accounting policy to classify interest related to liabilities for income tax expense under the “Interest income (expense), net” line and penalties related to liabilities for income tax expense under the “Other income (expense)” line of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011 we have elected to classify interest and penalties related to liabilities for income tax expense under the “Income Tax Expense (Recovery)” line (See note 1) of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized the following amounts as income tax related interest and penalties:


	Three months ended December 31,						Six months ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Interest expense (income)	$	4,897		$	337		$	6,459		$	2,233
Penalties (recovery)		(7,279	)		(318	)		(7,241	)		(215	)

Total	$	(2,382	)	$	19		$	(782	)	$	2,018

As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax related interest and penalties:


	As of December 31, 2011		As of June 30, 2011
Interest accrued	$	16,059	$	10,290

Penalties accrued	$	7,873	$	15,771

Included in the accrual balances as of December 31, 2011, are accrued interest and penalties of $0.1 million and nil, respectively, relating to the acquisition of Global 360 (see note 17).

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by approximately $3.0 million, relating primarily to tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions and the expiration of competent authority relief.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years that remain open to examinations by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to ten years.

We are subject to tax examinations in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have examinations open in Canada, the United States, France and Spain. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes.

We have not provided for foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities to the extent they may apply for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of our non-Canadian subsidiaries since we do not currently expect to repatriate such earnings. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to our tax examinations and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, we cannot predict with any level of certainty the exact nature of any future possible settlements.

NOTE 14—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

•

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

•

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

•

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

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

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of December 31, 2011:


				Fair Market Measurements using:
	December 31, 2011			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities)		Significant other observable inputs			Significant unobservable inputs
	December 31, 2011			(Level 1)		(Level 2)			(Level 3)
Financial Assets:
Derivative financial instrument asset (liabilities) (note 15)	$	(1,093	)		$n/a	$	(1,093	)		$n/a

	$	(1,093	)		$n/a	$	(1,093	)		$n/a

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

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

NOTE 15—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

In July 2010, we entered into a hedging program with a Canadian chartered bank to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows related to a portion of the payroll expenses that are expected to be paid by our Canadian subsidiary. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that get incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, and are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our payroll exposure. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with ASC Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of December 31, 2011, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of December 31, 2011, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $99.6 million (June 30, 2011—$16.8 million).

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

The effect of these derivative instruments on our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, were as follows (amounts presented do not include any income tax effects).

Reconciliations of the liability relating to each of our materially outstanding restructuring plans are provided below:

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2012, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan). These charges currently relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. We expect to incur more charges under the Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan, including the consolidation of certain excess facilities, as we finalize the detailed plans of these restructuring actions. As of December 31, 2011, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan to be approximately $16.0 million, of which $8.1 million of costs have already been recorded within Special charges to date.

The recognition of these workforce reduction and facility consolidation charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we will conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is shown below.

Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2011, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and consolidate certain excess facilities (Fiscal 2011 restructuring plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. The recognition of these charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. On a quarterly basis, we will conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2011 restructuring plan are expected to be approximately $10.0 million. Since the inception of the plan, $9.5 million of costs have been recorded within Special charges. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to the Fiscal 2011 restructuring plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is shown below.

Fiscal 2010 Restructuring Plan (cash liability portion)

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and consolidate certain excess facilities (Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and other miscellaneous direct costs. The provision related to workforce reduction and facility costs is expected to be paid by July 2012. On a quarterly basis, we will conduct an evaluation of the remaining balances relating to workforce reductions and facility costs and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan, $41.6 million of costs have been recorded within Special charges. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to the Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is shown below.

Guarantees and indemnifications

We have entered into license agreements with customers that include limited intellectual property indemnification clauses. Generally, we agree to indemnify our customers against legal claims that our software products infringe certain third party intellectual property rights. In the event of such a claim, we are generally obligated to defend our customers against the claim and either settle the claim at our expense or pay damages that our customers are legally required to pay to the third-party claimant. These intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses generally are subject to limits based upon the amount of the license sale. We have not made any indemnification payments in relation to these indemnification clauses.

In connection with certain facility leases, we have guaranteed payments on behalf of our subsidiaries either by providing a security deposit with the landlord or through unsecured bank guarantees obtained from local banks.

We have not accrued a liability for guarantees, indemnities or warranties described above in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since no material payments are expected to be made. The maximum amount of potential future payments under such guarantees, indemnities and warranties is not determinable.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20-50. Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies”. As of the date of this filing on our Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized may have been incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 21—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction is that the material facts of such transaction shall be reviewed by the independent members of our board of directors (The Board) and the transaction approved by a majority of the independent members of our Board. The Board reviews all transactions wherein we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate: whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned approximately $0.7 million (six months ended December 31, 2010—$0.3 million), in consulting fees from Open Text for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

Acquisitions

Our competitive position in the marketplace requires us to maintain a complex and evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. In light of the continually evolving marketplace in which we operate, we regularly evaluate various acquisition opportunities within the ECM marketplace and elsewhere in the high technology industry. We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, and are intended to strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, and increase shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business.

We rely on close cooperation with partners for sales and product development, as well as for the optimization of opportunities which arise in our competitive environment. We aim to strengthen our global partner program, with emphasis on developing strategic relations and achieving close integration with partners. Our partners continue to generate business in key areas such as archiving, records management and compliance.

Outlook for the remainder of Fiscal 2012

We believe that we have a strong position in the ECM market and that the market for content solutions remains generally stable. We think that our diversified geographic profile helps strengthen our position, in that approximately half of our revenues are generated from outside of North America which helps to reduce the impact from a “downturn” in any one specific region. Additionally, we believe that our focus on compliance based products also helps to partially insulate us from any “downturns” in the macroeconomic environment. We also believe we have a strong position in the ECM market as over 50% of our revenues are from customer support revenues, which are generally a recurring source of income, and we expect this trend to continue.

We expect our revenue “mix” for Fiscal 2012 to be in the following ranges:


(% of total revenues)
License			25% to 30%
Customer support			52% to 57%
Services and other			18% to 23%

*	Americas primarily consists of countries in North America and Latin America.

**	EMEA primarily consists of countries in Europe and United Arab Emirates.

License Revenues consists of fees earned from the licensing of software products to customers. Our license revenues are impacted by the strength of general economic and industry conditions, the competitive strength of our software products, and our acquisitions.

License revenues increased by $10.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in license revenues is geographically attributable to an increase in Americas of $4.7 million, an increase in license sales in Asia Pacific of $4.1 million and an increase in EMEA license sales of $1.7 million.

License revenues increased by $32.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in license revenues is geographically attributable to an increase in license sales in Americas of $15.4 million, an increase in EMEA license sales of $12.6 million and the remainder due to Asia Pacific geographies.

Customer Support Revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. Customer support revenues are generated from support and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. Therefore, changes in customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. The terms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, with customer renewal options.

Customer support revenues increased by $28.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in customer support revenues was attributable to an increase in customer support sales in Americas of $15.0 million, an increase in EMEA customer support sales of $10.3 million and the remainder $3.4 million of the change due to sales generated in Asia Pacific.

Customer support revenues increased by $60.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in customer support revenues was attributable to an increase in customer support sales in Americas of $27.2 million, an increase in EMEA customer support sales of $26.4 million and the remainder $7.3 million of the change due to sales generated in Asia Pacific.

Service and Other Revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration services (Professional Services). “Other” revenues consist of hardware revenues. These revenues are grouped within the “Service and Other” category because they are relatively immaterial. Professional Services, if purchased, are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses.

Service and other revenues increased by $14.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Geographically, the increase is due to an increase in revenues in Americas of $10.0 million, an increase in revenues from EMEA of $3.0 million and the remaining $1.8 million of the change due to increased revenues generated in geographies from Asia Pacific.

Service and other revenues increased by $30.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Geographically, the increase is due to an increase in revenues in Americas of $16.0 million, an increase in revenues from EMEA of $10.9 million and the remaining $3.9 million of the change due to increased revenues generated in geographies from Asia Pacific.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

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

Cost of license revenues and gross margins on license revenues have remained relatively stable over the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third party royalty costs.

Cost of customer support revenues increased by $6.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in direct labor costs of $4.6 million and direct costs of $1.2 million associated with the corresponding increase in customer support revenues. The remainder of the change was due to other miscellaneous expenses.

Cost of customer support revenues increased by $13.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in direct labor costs of $9.3 million and direct costs of $1.9 million associated with the corresponding increase in customer support revenues. The remainder of the change was due to other miscellaneous expenses.

Cost of service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third party subcontracting.

Cost of services and other revenues increased by $9.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in direct labor and other labor related costs of $5.6 million and direct costs of $1.9 million associated with an increase in service and other revenues. Travel costs have also increased by approximately $1.3 million, in part due to our growth in geographies outside of North America. Additionally, costs related to “Content World”, a user conference hosted by Open Text annually, were up by approximately $0.4 million over the same period in the prior fiscal year. The remainder of the change was due to other miscellaneous expenses.

Cost of services and other revenues increased by $24.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in direct labor and other labor related costs of $14.1 million and direct costs of $6.7 million associated with an increase in service and other revenues. Travel costs have also increased by approximately $2.4 million, in part due to our growth in geographies outside of North America. Additionally, costs related to “Content World”, a user conference hosted by Open Text annually, were up by approximately $0.4 million over the same period in the prior fiscal year. The remainder of the change was due to other miscellaneous expenses.

Gross margin on cost of services and other revenues have increased in the three months ended December 31, 2011 as we are seeing the results of investments we made in prior quarters, which was to spend more on developing internal resources in geographies outside of North America, start to align with our revenue growth. Previously our margins were negated by the costs we incurred in developing our internal resources as well as costs we incurred for subcontracting and travel costs necessary during the transition period.

Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets increased by $4.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, due to the increase in intangible assets on account of acquisitions during Fiscal 2011 and 2012.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, contracted research and development expenses, and facility costs. Research and development enables organic growth and as such we dedicate extensive efforts to update and upgrade our product offerings. The primary driver is typically budgeted software upgrades and software development.

Research and development expenses increased by $8.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in direct labor and labor-related benefits and expenses of approximately $6.3 million and an increase in facility-related costs of approximately $0.7 million. The remainder of the difference is related to miscellaneous changes.

Research and development expenses increased by $20.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in direct labor and labor-related benefits and expenses of $16.6 million and an increase in facility- related costs of approximately $1.6 million. The remainder of the difference is related to miscellaneous changes.

Overall, our research and development expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, have remained relatively stable at approximately 13.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 14.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Headcount at December 31, 2011 related to development activities increased by 48 employees compared to December 31, 2010.

Our expectation for Fiscal 2012 is that research and development expenses will be in the range of 14% – 16% of total revenues.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and costs associated with advertising and trade shows.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $9.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in direct labor and labor-related benefits and expenses of $7.2 million, an increase in travel costs of approximately $0.8 million and an increase in tradeshows and sales and user conferences of approximately $1.3 million. The remainder of the difference is primarily due to changes in other miscellaneous sales and marketing-related expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $30.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in direct labor and labor-related benefits and expenses of $23.0 million, an increase in travel costs of approximately $2.4 million and an increase in tradeshows and sales and user conferences of approximately $2.2 million. The remainder of the difference is primarily due to changes in other miscellaneous sales and marketing-related expenses.

Overall, our sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, have remained relatively stable at approximately 22% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011.

Headcount at December 31, 2011 related to sales and marketing activities increased by 143 employees compared to December 31, 2010.

Our expectation for Fiscal 2012 is that sales and marketing expenses will be in the range of 21% – 23% of total revenues.

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

General and administrative expenses increased by $5.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in direct labor and labor-related benefits and expenses of $5.2 million. The remainder of the increase is attributable to other miscellaneous expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by $11.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in direct labor and labor-related benefits and expenses of $7.6 million, and other professional fees of $1.0 million. The remainder of the increase is attributable to other miscellaneous expenses.

Overall, our general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, have remained relatively stable at approximately 8% for the three months and the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Headcount at December 31, 2011 related to general and administrative activities increased by 53 employees compared to December 31, 2010.

Our expectation for Fiscal 2012 is that general and administrative expenses will be in the range of 8% –10% of total revenues.

Depreciation expenses increased slightly by $0.38 million and $0.76 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of capital asset additions.

Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets increased by $4.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, due to an increase in intangible assets resulting from acquisitions made during Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012.

Special charges typically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans relating to employee workforce reduction and abandonment of excess facilities, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition related costs (with effect from July 1, 2009 and onwards) and other similar charges. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating the activities of acquired entities into existing Open Text operations. Actions related to such restructuring plans are, more often than not, completed within a period of one year. In certain limited situations, if the planned activity does not need to be implemented, or an expense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges.

Special charges increased by $1.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to new restructuring activities that were implemented in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 (Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan) and on account of additional acquisition-related costs. For more details on Special charges, see note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net other income relates to certain non-operational charges consisting primarily of transactional foreign exchange gains (losses).

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, foreign exchange impacts caused net other income to increase by approximately $9.0 million and $16.6 million, respectively, which is attributable almost entirely to the increase in other income during the periods.

Net interest expense primarily consists of cash interest paid and accrued on our debt facilities offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Net interest expense increased by $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to interest incurred on the new debt financing agreement we entered into on November 9, 2011. For more details see note 10.

Provision for (recovery of) income taxes: The tax expense remained relatively consistent during the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The net decrease from a $17.9 million tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to a tax expense of $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to “one-time” tax benefits relating to the internal reorganization of certain recently acquired international subsidiaries and functional currency election filed by the Canadian entity in the quarter, together with an increase in income taxes due to an increase in “net income before income taxes” over the comparative periods. For more details, see note 13.

The internal reorganization was initiated by us in Fiscal 2010 for the following reasons: (i) to consolidate our intellectual property within certain jurisdictions, (ii) to effect an operational reduction of our global subsidiaries with a view to, eventually, having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction, (iii) to better safeguard our intellectual property in jurisdictions with well established legal regimes and protections and (iv) to simplify the management of our intellectual property ownership.

Although we are exposed to various foreign tax rates, which can be significant, the impact of foreign jurisdictions on our effective tax rates have been consistent year over year in proportion to our total income and did not have a significant impact on the overall decrease in our tax expense for the three or six months ended December 31, 2011. We also note that we are subject to tax rate discrepancies between our domestic tax rate and foreign tax rates that are significant and these discrepancies are primarily related to the United States, Luxembourg and Germany.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth changes in cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:


	Six months ended December 30,						Change/ increase (decrease)
(In thousands)	2011			2010			Change/ increase (decrease)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	90,046		$	88,937		$	1,109
Cash used by investing activities	$	(270,926	)	$	(75,285	)	$	(195,641	)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	317,091		$	(9,173	)	$	326,264

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $1.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010 on account of an increase in net income of $44.4 million, before the impact of non cash adjustments, and was offset by a decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $43.3 million.

The decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $43.3 million was primarily due to decreases of (i) $33.0 million relating to a lower deferred revenue balance, (ii) $14.0 million relating to changes in income taxes payable and deferred charge balances and (iii) $9.7 million relating to a higher accounts receivable balance. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of (i) $8.7 million relating to changes in prepaid and other assets balance, and (ii) $4.5 million relating to changes in accounts payable balance. The remainder of the change is related to other miscellaneous activities.

Cash used in investing activities

Our cash used in investing activities are primarily on account of business acquisitions.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $195.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in acquisition related spending. Of this increase, Global 360 accounted for $245.7 million, Operitel accounted for $6.3 million and MessageManager accounted for $1.5 million (compared to acquisition purchases of $57.2 million in Fiscal 2011). The remainder of the change in investing activities is related to other miscellaneous investing activities.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities consist of debt financing and amounts received from options exercised for Common Shares by our employees. These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $326.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to a new debt financing agreement we entered into in November 2011, in which we borrowed $600 million from certain financial institutions (see note 10). The proceeds from the Term Loan and Revolver of $648.5 million were partially offset by repayments of our previously outstanding long-term debt and revolver of $333.9 million, of which $332.9 million was paid on November 9, 2011 from the proceeds of the Term Loan. In addition, associated with the new debt financing agreement, we incurred approximately $9.3 million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized over the term of the loan (see note 7). We also saw an increase in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options by our employees in the amount of $6.7 million. The remainder of the change in financing activities is primarily due to the absence of Treasury Stock repurchases during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to repurchases made during the prior fiscal year.

Restrictions on cash

We do not have any restrictions on repatriation of cash from foreign subsidiaries nor do we expect taxes on repatriation of cash held in foreign subsidiaries to have a material effect on the Company’s overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

Term loan

On November 9, 2011, we entered into a $700 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Agreement) with certain financial institutions. The Agreement provides for a $600 million term loan facility (the Term Loan) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) together referred to as the credit facility.

On the same day that we entered into the Agreement, we borrowed $600 million under the Term Loan and used a portion of the proceeds to repay all of our previously outstanding credit facility debt in the amount of $332.9 million. As of the time of this filing, we have not made any borrowings under the Revolver.

The Term Loan has a 5 year term and repayments made under the Term Loan are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. Our first quarterly scheduled principal payment is approximately $7.5 million and is due during the third quarter of Fiscal 2012. The Term loan bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%.

The material financial covenants under the credit facility are that:

•

We must maintain a “consolidated leverage” ratio of no more than 3:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our “trailing twelve months” net income before interest, taxes, depreciation amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges, all defined as “EBITDA” as per the Agreement; and

•

We must maintain a “consolidated interest coverage” ratio of 3:1 or more at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated interest coverage ratio is defined for this purpose as our consolidated EBITDA over our consolidated interest expense.

As of December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to this credit facility. For more details relating to our Term Loan, please see note 10.

Mortgage

In December 2005, we entered into a five-year mortgage agreement with the bank. The principal amount of the mortgage was for Canadian $15.0 million and was originally scheduled to mature on January 1, 2011. During Fiscal 2011, the mortgage was extended for a period of 12 months and is now open to Open Text to pay all or a portion of the mortgage prior to July 1, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the mortgage was $11.7 million.

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities and committed loan facilities will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, and operating needs for the next 12 months. However, any material acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing.

Pensions

As part of the acquisition of Captaris in October 2008, we acquired an unfunded pension plan and certain long-term employee benefit plans. As of December 31, 2011, our total unfunded pension plan obligation was $17.8 million, of which $0.6 million is payable within the next 12 months. We expect to be able to make the long-term and short-term payments related to this obligation in the normal course. For a detailed discussion see note 11 “Pension Plans and Other Post Retirement Benefits” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The long-term debt obligations are comprised of interest and principal payments on our Term Loan, and a mortgage on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. See note 10 for more details regarding our long-term debt.

Guarantees and indemnifications

We have not accrued a liability for guarantees, indemnities or warranties described above in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets since no material payments are expected to be made. The maximum amount of potential future payments under such guarantees, indemnities and warranties is not determinable.

Litigation

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice except for the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment, and vehicles. We believe that none of the operating leases described in the previous sentence has, or potentially may have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 we made a change in our accounting policy to classify both interest and penalties relating to liabilities for income taxes under the ‘Provision for (recovery of) income taxes’ line of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For more details, see note 1.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan. As of December 31, 2011, we had an outstanding balance of $600 million on the Term Loan. The Term Loan bears a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a fixed rate of 2.5%. As of December 31, 2011, an adverse change in LIBOR of 100 basis points (1.0%) would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on the Term Loan by approximately $6.0 million, assuming that the loan balance as of December 31, 2011 is outstanding for the entire period.

Foreign currency risk

Our reporting currency is the U.S dollar. On account of our international operations, a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2011, this balance represented approximately 22% of our total cash and cash equivalents. A 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar would have decreased our reported cash and cash equivalents by approximately 2%. Additionally, we have hedged certain of our Canadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada. Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2011, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rates would cause a change of approximately $1.0 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

Our international operations expose us to foreign currency fluctuations. Revenues and related expenses generated from subsidiaries, other than those located in the U.S., are generally denominated in the functional currencies of the local countries. These functional currencies include Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and British pounds. The income statements of our international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the foreign currency conversion of these foreign currency denominated transactions into U.S. dollars results in reduced revenues, operating expenses and net income (loss) for our international operations. Similarly, our revenues, operating expenses and net income (loss) will increase for our international operations if the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies. We cannot predict the effect foreign exchange fluctuations will have on our results going forward. However, if there is a change in foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar, it could have a material effect on our results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act (according to Rule 13(a)-15(e)) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Based on the evaluation completed by our management, in which our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated, our management has concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
