UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 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 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.

Comprehensive income

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


	Three months ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Net income for the period	$	34,986		$	21,671
Other comprehensive income—net of tax, where applicable:

Unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges		(5,202	)		1,570
Actuarial gain (loss) relating to defined benefit pension plans		(548	)		—

Comprehensive income for the period	$	18,618		$	29,262

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. ASU 2011-05 is effective for us in our first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013) and will be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2011-05 on our consolidated financial statements.

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. 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 below). 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 are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2011-08 on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to materially impact the carrying value of our recorded goodwill.

The total cost of this building was $24.0 million and $0.05 million of related accumulated depreciation was recorded during the quarter. (As of June 30, 2011—$20.6 million for the new building was included in the cost).

**	Excludes the original cost and accumulated depreciation of fully-depreciated assets, and assets that are no longer in use.

NOTE 5—GOODWILL

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition of a business exceeds the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets. The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill since June 30, 2011:


Balance, June 30, 2011	$	832,481
Acquisition of Operitel (note 17)		4,093

Long-term prepaid expenses and other long-term assets		6,040		5,948

	$	19,408	$	19,359

Debt issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining our term loan and are being amortized over the term of the loan (see note 10). Deposits and restricted cash relate to security deposits provided to landlords in accordance with facility lease agreements and cash restricted per the terms of contractual-based agreements. Long-term prepaid expenses and other long-term assets primarily relate to certain 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 on account of 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 6 years.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Other accrued liabilities		8,031		6,950
Asset retirement obligations		3,700		3,824

	$	13,834	$	13,727

Accruals relating to acquisitions

In relation to our acquisitions made before July 1, 2009, the date on which we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (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. As of September 30, 2011, the remaining balance of our acquisition accruals is $2.6 million (June 30, 2011—$3.3 million).

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 September 30, 2011, the present value of this obligation was $5.0 million (June 30, 2011—$6.1 million), with an undiscounted value of $5.5 million (June 30, 2011—$6.5 million).

NOTE 10—LONG-TERM DEBT

		63,388		15,545

Long-term portion of long-term debt	$	281,285	$	282,033

Term loan

The term loan has a seven-year term, expires on October 2, 2013 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. The quarterly scheduled term loan principal repayments are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, due each quarter with the remainder due at the end of the term, less ratable reductions for any non-scheduled prepayments made. Our current quarterly scheduled principal payment is approximately $0.7 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $1.8 million relating to the term loan (three months ended September 30, 2010—$1.9 million).

Revolver

Prior to September 29, 2011, the revolver had a five-year term and expired on October 2, 2011. However, on September 29, 2011, we extended the revolver for 60 days without change to any of the previous terms except that the amount available to borrow under the revolver was changed to $50.0 million from $75.0 million. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at rates specified in the credit agreement. The revolver is subject to a “stand-by” fee ranging between 0.30% and 0.50% per annum depending on our consolidated leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2011, we have a net borrowed amount outstanding of $48.5 million on the revolver.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded an interest expense of $0.6 million relating to borrowings outstanding on the revolver (three months ended September 30, 2010—nil). During this period we also recorded an expense of $0.06 million on account of stand-by fees relating to the revolver (three months ended September 30, 2010—$0.06 million).

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 total of twelve-months, now maturing on January 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 of Canadian $11.9 million due on maturity. The mortgage continues to be secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

As of September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the mortgage was $11.9 million (June 30, 2011—$12.6 million).

As of September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that is securing the mortgage was $15.3 million (June 30, 2011—$15.4 million).

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million relating to the mortgage (three months ended September 30, 2010—$0.2 million).

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 September 30, 2011			As of June 30, 2011
Benefit obligation—beginning of period	$	18,231		$	15,507
Service cost		85			350
Interest cost		227			868
Benefits paid		(108	)		(423	)
Actuarial (gain) loss		550			(688	)
Foreign exchange (gain) loss		(940	)		2,617

Benefit obligation—end of period		18,045			18,231
Less: current portion		(484	)		(489	)

Noncurrent portion of benefit obligation	$	17,561		$	17,742

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


	Three months ended September 30,
	2011		2010
Pension expense:
Service cost	$	85	$	86
Interest cost		227		214

Net pension expense	$	312	$	300

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 September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:


	As of September 30, 2011			As of June 30, 2011
Assumptions:
Salary increases		2.25	%		2.25	%
Pension increases		1.75	%		1.50	%
Discount rate		5.20	%		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 (nine months ended June 30)	$	467
2013		535
2014		592
2015		650
2016		733
2017 to 2021		4,832

Total	$	7,809

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 $0.2 million for the early retirement plan as of September 30, 2011 ($0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011).

The Anniversary plan is a defined benefit plan for long-tenured CDT employees. The plan provides for a lump-sum payment to employees of two months of salary upon reaching the anniversary of twenty-five years of service and three months of salary upon reaching the anniversary of forty years of service. The early retirement plan is designed to create an incentive for employees, within a certain age group, to transition from (full or part-time) employment into retirement before their legal retirement age. This plan allows employees, upon reaching a

certain age, to elect to work full-time for a period of time and be paid 50% of their full-time salary. After working within this arrangement for a designated period of time, the employee is eligible to take early retirement and receive payments from the earned but unpaid salaries until they are eligible to receive payments under the postretirement benefit plan discussed above. Benefits under the early retirement plan are generally based on the employee’s compensation and the number of years of service.

IXOS AG Defined Benefit Plans

Included in our pension liability, as of September 30, 2011 is a net amount of $14,000 (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

We did not purchase any of our Common Shares during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of September 30, 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 September 30,
	2011		2010
Stock options	$	798	$	997
Restricted stock units (legacy Vignette employees)		11		48
Deferred stock units (Directors)		65		52
Performance stock units (LTIP 3 and LTIP 4)		3,970		1,503

Total share-based compensation expense	$	4,844	$	2,600

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of September 30, 2011, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,922,052 Common Shares were outstanding and 1,211,045 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 three months ended September 30, 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		120,000			52.15
Exercised		(475,181	)		15.19
Forfeited or expired		(500	)		17.99

Outstanding at September 30, 2011		1,922,052		$	28.54		3.33	$	45,565

Exercisable at September 30, 2011		1,325,627		$	22.53		2.48	$	39,224

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 September 30,
	2011			2010
Weighted-average fair value of options granted	$	17.66			NA	*
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility		40.5	%		NA
Risk—free interest rate		0.80	%		NA
Expected dividend yield		0	%		NA
Expected life (in years)		4.34			NA
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)		5	%		NA

*	There were no options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock awards not yet recognized was $6.2 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 months ended September 30, 2011, cash in the amount of $7.2 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.4 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cash in the amount of $2.9 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.9 million.

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we granted 263 deferred stock units (DSUs) to certain nonemployee directors (DSUs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2010 - 157). 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 months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. 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 has been 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 months ended September 30, 2011, $4.0 million has been charged to share-based compensation expense on account of the LTIP equity plans (three months ended September 30, 2010—$1.5 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.

Upon adoption of FIN 48 we 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized interest in the amount of $1.5 million (three months ended September 30, 2010—$1.8 million) and penalties of nil (three months ended September 30, 2010—penalties of nil). The amount of interest and penalties accrued as of September 30, 2011 was $11.8 million ($10.3 million as of June 30, 2011) and $15.6 million ($15.8 million as of June 30, 2011), respectively. Included in these balances as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2011 could increase tax expense in the next 12 months by $0.1 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 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 September 30, 2011:


	September 30, 2011			Fair Market Measurements using:
				Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities)	Significant other observable inputs			Significant unobservable inputs
				(Level 1)	(Level 2)			(Level 3)
Financial Assets:
Derivative financial instrument asset (liabilities) (note 15)	$	(5,398	)	$ n/a	$	(5,398	)	$n/a

	$	(5,398	)	$ n/a	$	(5,398	)	$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 months ended September 30, 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 (“CAD”) on account of large costs that get incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, and are denominated in CAD. 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 September 30, 2011, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of September 30, 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 months ended September 30, 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. 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. 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 three months ended September 30, 2011 is shown below.

Accruals and adjustments		6,684
Cash payments		(2,558	)
Foreign exchange		(151	)

Balance as of September 30, 2011	$	3,975

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 three months ended September 30, 2011 is shown below.


Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction			Facility costs			Total

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.

Total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan, exclusive of other costs, were expected to be approximately $40.0 million. Since the inception of the 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 three months ended September 30, 2011 is shown below.

Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Plan

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2009, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and consolidate certain excess facilities (Fiscal 2009 restructuring plan). The total costs incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2009 restructuring plan were $17.1 million, which has been recorded within Special charges since the commencement of the plan. The $17.1 million charge consisted primarily of costs associated with workforce reduction in the amount of $12.4 million and abandonment of excess facilities in the amount of $4.7 million. The provision related to workforce reduction has been substantially paid and the provision relating to facility costs is expected to be paid by April 2012.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months ended September 30, 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 subject from time to time to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business and we accrue for these items where appropriate. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do 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.

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 three months ended September 30, 2011, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned approximately $0.4 million (three months ended September 30, 2010—$28,000), inclusive of bonus fees aggregating $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.

ECM is the set of technologies used to capture, manage, store, preserve, find and retrieve structured and unstructured content. We focus solely on ECM software solutions with a view to being recognized as “The Content Experts” in the software industry. We endeavor to be at the leading edge of content management technology by regularly upgrading and improving on our product offerings. We have endeavored to achieve this objective internally and through acquisitions of companies that own technologies we feel will benefit our clients.

Our initial public offering was on the NASDAQ in 1996 and we were subsequently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 1998. We are a multinational company and currently employ approximately 4,700 people worldwide.

•

In August 2011, Open Text announced that Davidson Consulting, a fax industry analyst firm, stated Open Text as a leading providing of enterprise fax server software based on 2010 sales. The release of our product “RightFax 10” was a milestone for the Company as it provided enhanced support for “cloud-based” office systems, as well as a number of enhancements that aimed to make it easier, faster and more secure for customers to integrate faxing into their business processes and workflows. The Davidson report cites Open Text’s innovation and focus on helping customers increase efficiency and lower costs as key factors in RightFax’s growing market acceptance.

•

In August 2011, Open Text introduced a “Travel Receipts Management” solution that works in concert with SAP’s Travel Management application, designed to eliminate the need to move paper receipts around in order to process expense reports. This product is intended to help companies lower their costs and time involved with processing reimbursements.

•

In July 2011, we acquired Global 360 Holding Corp., a software company that provides process and case management solutions. See “Acquisitions” below for more details.

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.

During the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012) we have continued our acquisition activity with the following acquisitions:

Operitel Corporation (Operitel)

On September 1, 2011, we acquired Operitel Corporation (Operitel), a software company based in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, specializing in Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Enterprise Learning Portals. The acquisition adds strong e-learning capabilities to our solutions. Operitel’s solutions include social and mobile learning management and capabilities that integrate with Microsoft^® SharePoint. Total purchase consideration for this acquisition was approximately Canadian $7.1 million, subject to customary purchase price and holdback adjustments.

Global 360 Holding Corp. (Global 360)

On July 13, 2011, we acquired Global 360 Holding Corp. (Global 360), a provider of “process and case management” solutions headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The acquisition continues our expansion into the business process management (BPM) market, and adds to our technology, talent, services, partner and geographical strengths, as well as giving us new capabilities in the field of “dynamic case management”. Total purchase consideration for this acquisition was approximately $258.7 million, subject to customary purchase price and holdback adjustments.

Partners

Partnerships are fundamental to the Open Text business. We have developed strong and mutually beneficial relationships with key technology partners, including major software vendors, systems integrators, and storage vendors, which we believe gives us leverage to deliver customer-focused solutions. Key partnership alliances of Open Text include, but are not limited to, Oracle^©, Microsoft^©, and SAP^©. 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 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 and thus helps cushions us 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 will 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%

Total		100.0%		100.0%

*	Other primarily consists of the following countries: Australia, Brazil, Japan, Singapore 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 $22.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in license revenues is geographically attributable to an increase in North America license sales of $8.3 million, an increase in European license sales of $10.5 million and an increase in license sales in other geographies of $3.6 million.

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 $32.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in customer support revenues was attributable to an increase in North America customer support sales of $11.4 million, an increase in European customer support sales of $15.7 million and the remainder $5.1 million of the change due to sales generated in other geographies.

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 $16.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of last fiscal year. Geographically, the increase is due to an increase in revenues in North America of $5.7 million, an increase in revenues from Europe of $7.3 million and the remaining $3.0 million of the change due to increased revenues generated in other geographies.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

The following tables set forth the changes in cost of revenues and gross margin by product type for the periods indicated:


	Three months ended September 30,				Change/ increase (decrease)
(In thousands)	2011		2010		Change/ increase (decrease)
License	$	3,998	$	3,502	$	496
Customer Support		26,269		19,356		6,913
Service and Other		50,351		35,113		15,238
Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets		20,790		15,427		5,363

Total	$	101,408	$	73,398	$	28,010


	Three months ended September 30,
Gross Margin	2011			2010
License		93.9	%		91.8	%
Customer Support		83.8	%		85.1	%
Service and Other		17.5	%		22.0	%

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 remained consistent in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, increasing slightly by $0.5 million. The increase in costs is primarily due to an increase in direct costs associated with the corresponding increase in license revenues.

Overall gross margin on cost of license revenues has increased slightly at approximately 94%.

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 September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in direct labour costs associated with the corresponding increase in customer support revenues.

Overall gross margin on customer support revenues has remained relatively stable at approximately 84%.

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 $15.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in direct labour and other labour related costs associated with an increase in service and other revenues. In addition travel expenses increased by approximately $1.1 million as a result of increased business activities.

Overall gross margin on cost of services and other revenues have decreased compared to the prior fiscal year primarily on account of our growth in geographies outside of North America. As we continue to expand in “other” geographies, our internal labour, as well as subcontracting and travel costs are increasing at a slightly higher rate than revenue growth due to the time it takes to develop our internal resources.

Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets increased by $5.4 million due to the increase in intangible assets on account of acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth total operating expenses by function and as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:


	Three months ended September 30,				Change/ increase (decrease)

Depreciation		1.8	%		2.2	%
Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets		4.5	%		4.0	%
Special charges		2.5	%		1.5	%

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 $12.5 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in direct labour and labour-related benefits and expenses of $10.4 million. The remainder of the difference is principally due to an increase in training and education expenses.

Overall, our research and development expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, have remained relatively stable at approximately 15%.

Headcount at September 30, 2011 related to development activities increased by 205 employees compared to September 30, 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 $20.7 million primarily due to an increase in direct labour and labour-related benefits and expenses of $16.6 million. The remainder of the difference is primarily due to increase in travel expenses of $1.6 million and changes in other miscellaneous sales and marketing-related expenses.

Headcount at September 30, 2011 related to sales and marketing activities increased by 227 employees compared to September 30, 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 $6.0 million primarily due to an increase in direct labour and labour-related benefits and expenses of $2.4 million, occupancy related costs of $1.8 million and audit fees of $1.1 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 9%.

Headcount at September 30, 2011 related to general and administrative activities increased by 106 employees compared to September 30, 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 $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of capital asset additions.

Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets increased by $4.2 million due to an increase in intangible assets resulting from acquisitions made during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

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 $3.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 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).

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) and tax-related penalties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net other income increased by $6.8 million, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to foreign exchange gains of $7.6 million partially offset by an increase in expenses of $0.8 million related to other expenses and tax-related penalties.

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

Net interest expense increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to additional expenses of $0.6 million we incurred on borrowings outstanding under the revolver. The increase was offset by a reduction in expense on account of lower tax-related liabilities for income tax expense of $0.3 million.

Provision for (recovery of) income taxes: The net decrease from a $8.9 million tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to a tax recovery of $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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


	Three months ended September 30,				Change/ increase (decrease)
(In thousands)	2011		2010		Change/ increase (decrease)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	45,348	$	48,934	$	(3,586	)
Cash used by investing activities	$	262,147	$	9,017	$	253,130
Cash provided by financing activities	$	55,753	$	2,800	$	52,953

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 on account of a decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $13.4 million, offset by an increase in net income, before the impact of non cash adjustments, of $9.8 million.

The decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $13.4 million was primarily due to decreases of (i) $25.8 million relating to a higher deferred revenue balance, and (ii) $6.2 million relating to a higher accounts receivable balance. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of (i) $3.5 million relating to the net impact of changes in income taxes payable and deferred taxes balance (ii) $8.4 million relating to changes in prepaid and other assets balance, (iii) $4.6 million relating to changes in accounts payable balance and (iv) $2.1 million due to changes in other long term assets.

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 $253.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to an increase in acquisition related spending. Of this increase, Global 360 accounted for $247.7 million and Operitel accounted for $6.3 million. 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 used in financing activities increased by $53.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to (i) proceeds borrowed under our Revolver in the amount of $48.5 million, and (ii) an increase in the proceeds from Common Shares exercised by our employees in the amount of $4.6 million. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.1 million due to other miscellaneous financing related activities.

Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

Term loan

Our term loan has a seven-year term, expires on October 2, 2013 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. The quarterly scheduled term loan principal repayments are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, due each quarter with the remainder due at the end of the term, less ratable reductions for any non-scheduled prepayments made. Our current quarterly scheduled principal payment is approximately $0.7 million.

The material financial covenants under our term loan agreement 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 and amortization (EBITDA); 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 September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the term loan was $284.3 million and we were in compliance with all loan covenants relating to this credit facility. We intend, at the appropriate time, to amend and restate our existing credit facility for the purposes of increasing our liquidity and access to capital for general corporate purposes, which may include future growth opportunities, and extending the maturity dates of our existing loans.

Revolver

Prior to September 29, 2011, our credit facility included a revolver that had a five-year term and expired on October 2, 2011. However, on September 29, 2011, we extended the revolver for 60 days without change to any of the previous terms except that the amount available under the revolver was reduced to $50.0 million from $75.0 million. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at rates specified in the credit agreement. The revolver is subject to a “stand-by” fee ranging between 0.30% and 0.50% per annum depending on our consolidated leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2011, we have outstanding a net borrowed amount of $48.5 million on the revolver, which was used partially towards the acquisition of Global 360. We are required to repay this balance by December 1, 2011.

Mortgage

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, and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. 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 September 30, 2011, our total unfunded pension plan obligation was $18.7 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 payments for the indicated fiscal periods as follows:


	Payments due between
	Total		October 1, 2011— June 30, 2012		July 1, 2012— June 30, 2014		July 1, 2014— June 30, 2016		July 1, 2016 and beyond
Long-term debt obligations	$	359,205	$	68,343	$	290,862	$	—	$	—
Operating lease obligations*		155,236		22,347		49,641		33,302		49,946
Purchase obligations		2,068		1,270		783		15		—

	$	516,509	$	91,960	$	341,286	$	33,317	$	49,946

*	Net of $4.3 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to other parties.

The long-term debt obligations are comprised of interest and principal payments on our term loan agreement, borrowings on our revolver, and a mortgage on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. See note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.

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. 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.

There was no significant change in our critical accounting policies and estimates since the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

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 September 30, 2011, we had an outstanding balance of $284.3 million on the term loan. The term loan bears a floating interest rate of

LIBOR plus a fixed rate of 2.25%. As of September 30, 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 $2.8 million, assuming that the loan balance as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2011, this balance represented approximately 59% 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 6%. 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
