UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2012

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

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

These condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), with effect from July 2, 2012 (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 condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

Reclassifications

Cloud Services

Starting in the first quarter for the year ended June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013), in light of our acquisition of EasyLink on July 2, 2012, we adopted a policy to classify revenues and cost of revenues relating to "Cloud Services" as a separate line item within "Revenues" and "Cost of revenues", respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. No prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation since such prior period amounts are not material. For a detailed explanation of the products that make up our Cloud Services offerings please see our “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included under Part I, Item 2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Research and Development Tax Credits

Non-refundable research and development tax credits are now being reflected as a component of "Income tax" expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain prior period comparative figures have been adjusted on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to current period presentation. As of June 30, 2012, long-term “Deferred tax assets” have been increased from previously reported amounts by approximately $34.9 million, with a corresponding decrease to “Long-term income taxes recoverable”. There was no change to total assets, liabilities, or shareholders' equity as a result of this reclassification. The prior period comparative figures on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income have not been adjusted as the amounts are not material.

NOTE 2—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICY UPDATES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 shareholders' 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.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12. Pursuant to the adoptions, we have presented a separate Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. There were no other significant or material changes to our reporting as a result of these adoptions.

Long-term prepaid expenses and other long-term assets primarily relate to advance payments on long-term licenses that are being amortized over the applicable terms of the licenses.

NOTE 8—DEFERRED CHARGES AND CREDITS

Deferred charges and credits relate to cash taxes payable and the elimination of deferred tax balances relating to legal entity consolidations completed as part of an internal reorganization of our international subsidiaries. Deferred charges and credits are amortized to income tax expense over a period of six years.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Term Loan and Revolver

Our credit facility consists of a $600 million term loan facility (the Term Loan) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets. We entered into and borrowed from this credit agreement on November 9, 2011.

The Term Loan has a five 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. The Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded interest expense of approximately $4.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively, relating to the Term Loan (three and six months ended December 31, 2011—$2.5 million).

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded interest expense of approximately $0.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, relating to our previously outstanding term loan.

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2012, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Mortgage

We currently have an "open" mortgage with a bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2013. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We first entered into this mortgage in December 2005.

As of December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the mortgage was $11.4 million (June 30, 2012—$11.4 million).

As of December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $16.1 million (June 30, 2012—$16.3 million).

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to the mortgage (three and six months ended December 31, 2011— $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively).

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 details of the change in the benefit obligation for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:



	As of December 31, 2012			As of June 30, 2012
Benefit obligation as of June 30, 2012	$	21,461		$	18,231
Service cost	230			326
Interest cost	446			873
Benefits paid	(229		)	(441		)
Actuarial (gain) loss	876			5,179
Foreign exchange (gain) loss	1,662			(2,707		)
Benefit obligation as of December 31, 2012	24,446			21,461
Less: Current portion	(524		)	(475		)
Non current portion of benefit obligation	$	23,922		$	20,986

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,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Pension expense:
Service cost	$	117	$	81	$	230	$	166
Interest cost	226		217		446		444
Amortization of actuarial gains and losses	71		—		139		—
Net pension expense	$	414	$	298	$	815	$	610

The CDT pension plan is an unfunded plan and therefore no contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan obligations are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. Currently there is approximately $0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remaining fiscal year.

In determining the fair value of the CDT pension plan benefit obligations as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:



	As of December 31, 2012		As of June 30, 2012
Assumptions:
Salary increases	2.50	%	2.50	%
Pension increases	2.00	%	2.00	%
Discount rate	3.60	%	4.00	%
Employee fluctuation rate:
to age 30	1.00	%	1.00	%
to age 35	0.50	%	0.50	%
to age 40	—	%	—	%
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:



	Fiscal years ending June 30,
2013 (six months ended June 30)	$	262
2014	562
2015	620
2016	690
2017	759
2018 to 2022	5,599
Total	$	8,492

CDT Anniversary Plan

CDT’s long-term employee benefit obligations arise under CDT’s “anniversary plan”. The obligation is unfunded and is carried at its fair value.

IXOS Defined Benefit Plans

Included in our pension liability, as of December 31, 2012, is a net amount of $0.7 million (June 30, 2012—$0.7 million) 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, 2012 and 2011, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares for potential future reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or otherwise.

On November 23, 2012, we issued 182,616 Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of awards granted under our Fiscal 2012 LTIP (three and six months ended December 31, 2011—nil). See below for more details regarding this settlement.

Share-Based Payments

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



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock options	$	1,228	$	974	$	2,567	$	1,772

Deferred stock units (directors)	172		64		360		129
Restricted stock awards (legacy Vignette employees)	—		9		10		20
Total share-based compensation expense	$	3,174	$	3,397	$	6,276	$	8,241

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of December 31, 2012, options to purchase an aggregate of 2,088,946 Common Shares were outstanding and 2,806,000 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four

years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:



	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2012	2,147,151		$	40.07
Granted	252,545		53.20
Exercised	(190,000	)	28.12
Forfeited or expired	(120,750	)	45.70
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	2,088,946		$	42.42	4.41	$	30,040
Exercisable at December 31, 2012	898,276		$	27.32	2.11	$	25,674

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,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	16.28		$	17.99		$	16.78		$	17.71
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	37		%	41		%	38		%	41		%
Risk–free interest rate	0.64		%	0.74		%	0.64		%	0.79		%
Expected dividend yield	—		%	—		%	—		%	—		%
Expected life (in years)	4.35			4.30			4.35			4.30
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	5		%	5		%	5		%	5		%

As of December 31, 2012, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was $17.5 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5 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, 2012, cash in the amount of $2.0 million and $5.4 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, 2012 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was nil and $0.8 million, respectively.

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.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

On September 10, 2007, our Board of Directors (the Board) 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 the respective 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. One criterion we use to measure performance is, if over the three year period the relative cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) of our Company, compared to the cumulative TSR of companies comprising a peer index group, is higher than a pre-determined target percentile (that is set at the date of grant), then a payout will be made. Depending on whether this target is met or exceeded with respect to the stipulations of the individual LTIPs, the amount of payout would be determined. In calculating the TSR achievement we use the average closing price of our Common Stock, as it trades over the last 30 days ending September 15th (following the third year in the LTIPs rolling three year program). LTIPs will be referred to in this document based upon the year in which the grants are expected to be settled.

Grants made in Fiscal 2010 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2012 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2010 starting on July 1, 2009. We met some of the performance conditions and settled the Fiscal 2012 LTIP by issuing 182,616 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of approximately $8.3 million.

Grants made in Fiscal 2011 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2013 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2011 starting on July 1, 2010. Vesting of Performance Stock Units (PSUs) granted under the Fiscal 2013 LTIP are based upon market and performance-based conditions and may be equal to 50%, 100% or 150% of the target payment. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2013 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2012 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Vesting of PSUs granted under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP are based upon market-based conditions and will be interpolated between 0% and 150% of the target payment. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2014 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (Fiscal 2015 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. Vesting of PSUs granted under the Fiscal 2015 LTIP are based upon market-based conditions and will be interpolated between 0% and 150% of the target payment. RSUs granted are service-based awards and vest over the life of the LTIP. Subject to certain terms and conditions, if an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period, all RSUs shall become vested RSUs at the end of the vesting period. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2015 LTIP awards in stock

PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs 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. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.

Expected and actual stock compensation expense for each of the above mentioned LTIP plans is as follows:



					Three Months ended December 31,		Six Months ended December 31,
Grants Made Under LTIP	Equity Instrument	Start Date	End Date	Expected Total LTIP Expense	2012	2011	2012	2011
Fiscal 2012 LTIP	PSU	3/31/2010	9/15/2012	17,314	—	1,830	579	5,280
Fiscal 2013 LTIP	PSU	10/29/2010	9/15/2013	4,707	298	520	598	1,040
Fiscal 2014 LTIP	PSU	2/3/2012	9/15/2014	8,898	862	—	1,397	—
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	PSU	12/3/2012	9/15/2015	3,132	86	—	86	—
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	RSU	11/2/2012	9/15/2015	6,699	377	—	377	—
				40,750	1,623	2,350	3,037	6,320

Of the total compensation cost of $40.8 million noted in the table above , $24.8 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total compensation cost of $16.0 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, 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, 2011— $0.4 million and $1.0 million).

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.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Interest expense (recovery)	(2,041	)	4,897		(187	)	6,459
Penalties expense (recovery)	(3	)	(7,279	)	36		(7,241	)
Total	(2,044	)	(2,382	)	(151	)	(782	)

As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:



	As of December 31, 2012		As of June 30, 2012
Interest expense accrued *	$	20,002	$	19,316
Penalties accrued *	$	6,000	$	4,040



*	These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Included in the accrual balances as of December 31, 2012 are accrued interest expense and penalties of $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, relating to the acquisition of EasyLink.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of December 31, 2012, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $11.9 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to 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, Spain, and India. 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 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.

As at December 31, 2012, we have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of our non-Canadian subsidiaries other than certain United States subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future. We do plan to make periodic repatriations that will be subject to withholding taxes from certain United States subsidiaries and have accrued additional tax cost attributable to these distributions in the amount of $0.3 million.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes from $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the impact of valuation allowances set up during the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The net increase in tax expense from $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 to $19.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to tax benefits realized in Fiscal 2012 relating to the internal reorganization of the acquired international subsidiaries of Metastorm Inc., in the amount of $4.1 million, and a Canadian election to file tax returns in U.S. dollar functional currency, in the amount of $5.9 million. The Fiscal 2013 tax expense includes an increase of $4.6 million relating to the impact of adjustments in the United States and Australia upon filing of tax returns. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

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, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

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

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our consolidated financial statements at an amount which approximates their fair value (a Level 3 measurement) due to their short maturities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3.

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 Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, 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, 2012, is recorded within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”.

As of December 31, 2012, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $49.8 million (June 30, 2012—$99.6 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 for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts presented do not include any income tax effects).

NOTE 16—SPECIAL CHARGES

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

Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2013 restructuring plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. We expect to incur more charges under the Fiscal 2013 restructuring plan, as we execute the remaining restructuring actions. As of December 31, 2012, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2013 restructuring plan to be approximately $15.0 million, of which $8.3 million has already been recorded within Special charges to date.

The recognition of these charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we 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, 2012 is shown below.



Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction			Facility costs			Total

Foreign exchange	62			10			72
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	2,594		$	3,018		$	5,612

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 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.

Since the inception of the Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan, $17.9 million of costs have been recorded within Special charges. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to the Fiscal 2012 restructuring plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is shown below.



Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction			Facility costs			Total
Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	4,422		$	3,355		$	7,777

Acquisition-related costs

Included within Special charges for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, we incurred costs relating to financial advisory, legal, valuation and audit services and other miscellaneous costs necessary to integrate acquired companies into our organization, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Included within Special charges for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Additionally, we incurred costs relating to financial advisory, legal, valuation and audit services and other miscellaneous costs necessary to integrate acquired companies into our organization, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, in the amount of $0.8 million for each of these periods.

Other charges

Included within Special charges for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is a charge of approximately $1.0 million relating to interest accrued on certain pre-acquisition sales tax liabilities, offset by a recovery of $0.3 million relating to revised sublease assumptions on a restructured facility acquired in a prior period.

In addition to the charges incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2012, included within Special charges for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is a charge of $0.6 million relating to revised sublease assumptions on a restructured facility acquired in a prior period.

Included within Special charges for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is $2.7 million related to the write-off of debt issuance costs, associated with our old term loan, that was repaid after we entered into our current credit facility on November 9, 2011.

In addition to the charges incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2011, included within Special charges for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is a recovery of $0.8 million relating to a reduction in an asset retirement obligation associated with a leased facility, and a recovery of $0.5 million relating to a new sublease on a restructured facility acquired in a prior period.

NOTE 17—ACQUISITIONS

EasyLink Services International Corporation

On July 2, 2012, we acquired EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), a global provider of cloud-based electronic messaging and business integration services, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The acquisition extends our product offerings as we continue to evolve in the Enterprise Information Management market category. Total consideration for EasyLink was $342.3 million, paid in cash. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The results of operations of EasyLink have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 2, 2012.

The following tables summarize the consideration paid for EasyLink and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date:



Cash consideration paid	$	342,272

Acquisition related costs (included in Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income): for the three months ended December 31, 2012	$	466
for the six months ended December 31, 2012	$	1,215

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their fair values as of July 2, 2012, are set forth below:



Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $26,941)	$	64,319
Non-current assets	37,537
Intangible customer assets	126,600
Intangible technology assets	70,500
Total liabilities assumed	(128,906		)
Total identifiable net assets	170,050
Goodwill	172,222
	$	342,272

The finalization of the above purchase price allocation is pending the determination of certain potential unrecorded liabilities relating to legacy EasyLink litigation, onerous contracts, and sales tax-related matters. We expect to finalize this determination on or before June 30, 2013.

No portion of the goodwill recorded upon the acquisition of EasyLink is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $26.2 million. The gross amount receivable was $27.5 million of which $1.3 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

The amount of EasyLink’s revenues and net income included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, and the unaudited pro forma revenues and net income of the combined entity, had the acquisition been consummated as of July 1, 2011, are set forth below:



	Revenues		Net Income
Actual from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012	$	44,158	$	3,699
Actual from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2012	$	87,617	$	4,045



	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2011		2011
Supplemental Unaudited Pro forma Information
Total revenues	$	366,998	$	701,524
Net income*	$	48,973	$	97,601

*Included in pro forma net income are estimated amortization charges relating to the allocated values of intangible assets. In addition, for the six months ended December 31, 2011, pro forma net income includes a $13.2 million tax recovery relating to certain one-time tax benefits recognized by EasyLink during the period.

The results of operations of EasyLink were combined with OpenText as of July 2, 2012 and hence there is no "reportable" pro forma impact on revenues and net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table above is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period presented or the results that may be realized in the future.

NOTE 18—GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

We have entered into the following contractual obligations with minimum payments for the indicated fiscal periods as follows:



	Payments due between
	Total		January 1, 2013— June 30, 2013		July 1, 2013— June 30, 2015		July 1, 2015— June 30, 2017		July 1, 2017 and beyond

	$	789,011	$	54,072	$	174,139	$	520,932	$	39,868

*Net of $2.5 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into agreements with customers which may include provisions for indemnifying our customers for legal claims that our software products infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to breaches of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Litigation

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

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with ASC Topic 450-20. As of the date of this filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, any such aggregated losses are 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.

j2 Global, Inc. (j2) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Advanced Messaging Technologies, Inc. (AMT) have filed several patent infringement lawsuits alleging that OpenText and its subsidiaries and predecessors-in-interest, Captaris, Inc. and EasyLink, are infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 6,208,638, 6,597,688, 7,020,132, 6,350,066, and 6,020,980 by offering fax-related products. j2 and AMT are seeking injunctions, royalties and damages. Through the recent acquisition of EasyLink, the Company now has complete carriage of the defense of these cases, which are pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In each of the cases, OpenText and its subsidiaries or predecessors-in-interest have asserted, or will assert, defenses and counterclaims contending that the patents are invalid and not infringed. In addition, OpenText and its subsidiaries or predecessors-in-interest have asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 6,208,638, 6,497,688, and 7,020,132 are unenforceable due to j2's inequitable conduct before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and are seeking to add counterclaims against j2 for tortious interference with prospective business advantage and unfair competition. Each of the cases is in the discovery, or an earlier, phase. In addition, j2 has requested that the USPTO open reexamination proceedings regarding U.S. Patent No. 6,020,980. The Company believes j2's patent infringement allegations are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend them.

In addition, one of OpenText's subsidiaries, Xpedite Systems, LLC (Xpedite), has sued j2 for patent infringement, alleging j2 is infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 5,872,640 and 7,804,823 through j2's offering of fax-related products. Xpedite is seeking an injunction, royalties and damages. j2 has asserted defenses and counterclaims asserting that the patents are invalid and not infringed, and j2 has requested that the USPTO undertake reexamination proceedings related to the patents, and the USPTO has agreed to do so. The litigation is stayed until the conclusion of the USPTO's reexamination proceedings.

Based on our assessment of ASC Topic 450-20, no amount has been accrued in connection to these cases referred to above.

Contingencies

EasyLink is currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for the calendar year ended December 31, 2000 through to calendar year ended December 31, 2009. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million.

In addition, in July 2009 EasyLink was assessed approximately $0.5 million in tax, interest and penalties for sales tax in New York State for the period between March 2001 and May 2004. EasyLink has posted a bond in this amount and is pursuing a judicial appeal of the July 2009 decision with New York State Court of Appeals. New York State sales tax audits are also currently underway for subsequent periods from June 2004 through to February 2011. The results of these audits for subsequent periods, and the potential sales tax exposure for EasyLink, are in significant part contingent upon the outcome of the above referenced sales tax appeal.

OpenText intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

NOTE 20—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 21—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

During the six months ended December 31, 2012, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned approximately $0.5 million (six months ended December 31, 2011—$0.7 million) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements.

Certain statements in this report may contain words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would” and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements or information under applicable securities laws. In addition, any information or statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any

underlying assumptions, are forward-looking, and based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate. Such forward-looking information or statements are subject to important assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and the actual outcome may be materially different. Our assumptions, although considered reasonable by us at the date of this report, may prove to be inaccurate and consequently our actual results could differ materially from the expectations set out herein.

We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking information or statements. You should carefully review Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable securities regulators. A number of factors may materially affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. These factors include but are not limited to those set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in this report and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in such Annual Report. Any one of these factors, and other factors that we are unaware of, or currently deem immaterial, may cause our actual results to differ materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.

The following MD&A is intended to help readers understand our results of operations and financial condition, and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the Notes) under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP-based measures to GAAP-based measures.

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 our traditional Enterprise Content Management (ECM) market and also in the broader

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) market. We made one acquisition during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013).

On July 2, 2012, we acquired EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), a company based in Georgia, USA and a global provider of cloud-based electronic messaging and business integration services for $342.3 million. See note 17 “Acquisitions” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, grow our earnings and increase shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business.

Outlook for the Remainder of Fiscal 2013

We believe we have a strong position in the EIM market. We continue to have approximately 50% of our revenues from customer support revenues, which are generally a recurring source of income, and we expect this trend will continue. We also believe that our diversified geographic profile helps strengthen our position and helps to reduce our impact from a downturn in the economy that may occur in any one specific region. Our goal is to build on our leadership in ECM, Business Process Management (BPM) and Customer Experience Management (CEM) and to expand our position in Information Exchange (iX) and Discovery, to emerge as the leading vendor in EIM.

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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:


(i)	Revenue recognition,


(ii)	Goodwill,


(iii)	Acquired intangibles,


(iv)	Restructuring charges,


(v)	Business combinations,


(vi)	Foreign currency translation, and


(vii)	Income taxes.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2013, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 provides a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following tables provide a detailed analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. For each of the periods indicated below, we present our revenues by product, revenues by major geography, cost of revenues by product, total gross margin, total operating margin, gross margin by product, and their corresponding percentage of total revenue. In addition, we provide non-GAAP measures for the periods discussed in order to provide additional information to investors that we believe will be useful as this presentation is in line with how our management assesses our Company's performance. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP-based measures to GAAP-based measures.

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

1) License Revenues:

License Revenues consist 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. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties.

License revenues decreased by $13.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is geographically attributable to a decrease in Americas of $10.1 million, and a decrease in EMEA of $5.8 million, offset by an increase of $2.3 million in Asia Pacific. Overall the decrease in license revenues were attributable to a lower number of deals greater than $0.5 million that closed in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (16 deals compared to 29).

License revenues decreased by $23.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is geographically attributable to a decrease in Americas of $15.0 million, and a decrease of $10.2 million in EMEA, offset by an increase of $2.3 million in Asia Pacific . Overall the decrease in license revenues were attributable to a lower number of deals greater than $0.5 million that closed during the period compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (27 deals compared to 51).

Cost of license revenues and margins remained relatively stable during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

2) Cloud Services:

Cloud services revenues consist of “managed hosting” services arrangements (through dedicated servers) primarily attributable to our acquisition of EasyLink. These arrangements allow our customers to make use of legacy EasyLink and OpenText software, services and content over Internet enabled networks supported by OpenText data centers. The hosted web applications allow customers to transmit a variety of content between various mediums and to securely manage enterprise information without the commitment of investing in related hardware infrastructure. Revenues are generated on several transactional usage-based models, are typically billed monthly in arrears, and can therefore fluctuate from period to period. Certain service fees are occasionally charged to customize hosted software for some customers and are either amortized over the expected economic life of the contract, in the case of setup fees, or recognized in the period they are provided. Cost of cloud services revenues is comprised primarily of third party network usage fees, maintenance of an in-house data hardware center, technical support personnel-related costs and some third party royalty costs.

As a result of our EasyLink acquisition on July 2, 2012 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, we adopted a policy to classify revenues and cost of revenues relating to "Cloud Services" as separate line items within "Revenues" and "Cost of Revenues", respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. No prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation since such prior period amounts were not material.

3) Customer Support Revenues:

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

Customer support revenues decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to an increase in Americas of $0.5 million, a decrease in EMEA of $2.1 million and an increase in Asia Pacific of $0.8 million.

Customer support revenues decreased by $0.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to an increase in the Americas of $4.3 million, a decrease in EMEA of $6.6 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $1.7 million.

Cost of customer support revenues was relatively stable, with margins remaining at approximately 83% during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

4) Professional Service and Other Revenues:

Professional 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 “Professional service and other” category because they are relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Cost of professional 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.

Professional service and other revenues decreased by $1.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to a decrease in Americas of $1.9 million, an increase in EMEA of $0.3 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $0.4 million.

Professional service and other revenues increased by $1.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was geographically attributable to an increase of $1.5 million in Asia Pacific.

Cost of professional service and other revenues decreased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 by $2.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is partially due to a reduction in the use of subcontractors resulting in savings of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012. As a result of efficiencies achieved and improved utilization, we have experienced increased margins in Professional services.

Amortization of Acquired Technology-based Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets increased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 by approximately $1.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is due to the acquisition of EasyLink at the beginning of Fiscal 2013.

Research and development expenses decreased by $3.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a decrease in fees related to contract labour and consulting services of $2.1 million, and a $1.0 million decrease in payroll and payroll-related benefits as a result of the redeployment of development resources as we continue to expand in the EIM market.

Research and development expenses decreased by $7.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a decrease in fees related to contract labour and consulting services of $2.9 million, and a decrease in payroll and payroll-related benefits of $3.1 million, which was the result of a redeployment of development employees to foster continued expansion in the EIM market. Correspondingly, the change in labour resources resulted in a decrease in travel and communication, in the amount of $1.2 million, and the use of facility and related resources, in the amount of $2.0 million.

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

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is primarily due to a decrease in commission benefits of $5.2 million, which was largely the result of lower commission accruals resulting from lower license revenues. This decrease was offset by an increase in marketing expenses of $1.8 million incurred as a result of the acquisition of EasyLink, and an increase in payroll and payroll related benefits of $3.2 million, primarily made up of $2.9 million on account of the acquisition of EasyLink and the remainder of the increase due to miscellaneous items.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is primarily due to a decrease of $9.8 million in commission benefits, resulting from lower license revenues. This decrease was offset by an increase of $4.9 million in marketing expenses incurred as a result of the acquisition of EasyLink, and a $4.8 million increase in payroll and payroll-related benefits primarily made up of $5.8 million on account of the acquisition of EasyLink, offset by the impact of miscellaneous items.

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

This is due to the acquisition of EasyLink made during Fiscal 2013.

Special charges:

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 and other similar charges. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating existing OpenText operations with that of acquired entities. Actions related to such restructuring plans are typically 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.

This was primarily due to the write-off of debt-issuance costs related to our old term debt in the amount of $2.7 million which was included in the amount for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to none in the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Special charges decreased by $0.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a reduction in acquisition-related costs and other charges.

For more details on Special charges, see note 16 "Special Charges" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Other Income (expense)

Net other income (expense) relates to certain non-operational charges consisting primarily of transactional foreign exchange gains (losses). These income (expenses) are dependent upon the change in foreign currency exchange rates vis-à-vis the functional currency of the legal entity and we are unable to predict the impact of these income (expenses) on our net income.

Other income (expense), net	$	1,541	$	(1,096	)	$	2,637	1,470	(10,479	)	11,949

Net Interest Expense

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

Interest expense, net	$	(4,515	)	(908	)	$	(3,607	)	(8,883	)	(2,490	)	(6,393	)

Net interest expense increased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 by $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as compared to same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to interest incurred on a new financing agreement we entered into on November 9, 2011, which resulted in additional borrowings, as compared to our outstanding debt during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. For more details see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

We initiated an internal reorganization of our international subsidiaries in Fiscal 2010 and we continue to integrate acquisitions into this new organizational structure for the following reasons: 1) to consolidate our intellectual property within certain jurisdictions, 2) to effect an operational reduction of our global subsidiaries with a view to, eventually, having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction, 3) to better safeguard our intellectual property in jurisdictions with well established legal regimes and protections and 4) to simplify the management of our intellectual property ownership.

We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are exposed to various foreign tax rates. 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.

The effective tax rate has decreased and is 4.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 12.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus it may be more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and its consolidated financial statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. The Company uses these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain non-U.S. GAAP measures. Non-U.S. GAAP net income and non-U.S. GAAP EPS are calculated as net income or net income per share on a diluted basis, excluding, where applicable, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and restructuring, all net of tax. The Company's management believes that the presentation of non-U.S. GAAP net income and non-U.S. GAAP EPS provides useful information to investors because it excludes non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined by the Company as those that do not impact operating decisions taken by the Company's management and is based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports. In the course of such evaluation and for the purpose of making operating decisions, the Company's management excludes certain items from its analysis, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, other income (expense) and the taxation impact of these items. These items are excluded based upon the manner in which management evaluates the business of the Company and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP. The Company believes the provision of supplemental non-U.S. GAAP measures allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText's performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance. As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP based financial measures to non-U.S. GAAP based financial measures for the following periods presented:

(1)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share based compensation expense from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Special charges from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Special charges are generally incurred in the aftermath of acquisitions and are not indicative or related to continuing operations and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(4)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Other income (expense) from our non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Other income (expense) relates primarily to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(5)	Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision (recovery) and a non-GAAP-based tax rate; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of expenses that are excluded for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP-based adjusted net income.

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 31,
(In thousands)	2012			Change increase (decrease)			2011
Cash and cash equivalents	$	367,258		$	(46,653	)	$	413,911

Cash provided by operating activities	$	136,457		$	46,411		$	90,046
Cash used in investing activities	$	(326,195	)	$	(55,269	)	$	(270,926	)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(8,325	)	$	(325,416	)	$	317,091

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits held at major banks with original maturities of 90 days or less. We do not hold any securities or other investments at this time.

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 or further acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing.

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 our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $46.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to an increase in net income before the impact of non cash items of $15.6 million and increased working capital changes of $30.8 million.

Cash used in investing activities

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

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $55.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to the higher purchase consideration for EasyLink, purchased in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, over our acquisition of Global 360 Holding Corp, purchased in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised 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 decreased by $325.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. In Fiscal 2012 we borrowed $600 million under our new Term Loan and used a portion of the proceeds to repay all of our previously outstanding credit facility debt in the amount of $287.3 million. The remaining difference was due to principal payments on the new Term Loan of $15 million and less cash collected from the issuance of Common Shares in Fiscal 2013.

Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

Term loan and Revolver

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2012, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

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 credit 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 defined in the credit agreement.

As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to this credit facility. For more details relating to our Term Loan, please see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage

Pensions

As of December 31, 2012, our total unfunded pension plan obligation was $25.7 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.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

We have entered into the following contractual obligations with minimum annual payments for the indicated fiscal periods as follows:



	Payments due between
	Total		January 1, 2013— June 30, 2013		July 1, 2013— June 30, 2015		July 1, 2015— June 30, 2017		July 1, 2017 and beyond
Long-term debt obligations	$	632,800	$	34,276	$	114,364	$	484,160	$	—
Operating lease obligations*	150,684		16,974		57,170		36,672		39,868
Purchase obligations	5,527		2,822		2,605		100		—
	$	789,011	$	54,072	$	174,139	$	520,932	$	39,868

*Net of $2.5 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties.

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 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation

Based on our assessment of ASC Topic 450-20, no amount has been accrued in connection to these cases referred to above.

Contingencies

OpenText intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

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. None of the operating leases described in the previous sentence has, and we currently do not believe that they potentially may have, a material 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.

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, 2012, we had an outstanding balance of $570.0 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, 2012, 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 $5.7 million, assuming that the loan balance as of December 31, 2012 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, 2012, this balance represented approximately 46% 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 5%. 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, 2012, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rates would cause a change of approximately $0.5 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 of operations 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, 2012, 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, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated state tax liabilities in the United States, as a result of our acquisition of EasyLink

Certain EasyLink cloud service offerings may be subject to telecommunications excise, franchise and sales taxes in states where EasyLink may not have collected and remitted such taxes from customers. We believe that the delivery of such cloud services are not “telecommunication services”, and therefore, we believe that such cloud service offerings are not subject to various telecommunication taxes, including telecommunications excise, franchise and sales tax. However, certain state taxing authorities may disagree with this position and may continue to audit our cloud service offerings and may subject us to payments (including interest and penalties) on account of such taxes. In the event that actual results differ from our reserves set up in this regard, we may need to record additional expense that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
