These Interim Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements are based upon accounting policies and methods of their application are consistent with those used and described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 2 “New Accounting Policies” below.statements. The Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the financial statement disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.2006.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.2007.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes 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 toto: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing goodwill andfor impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) facility and restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals, share-based compensation, income taxes,(ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) realization of investment tax credits, and (xi) the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation including the reclassification of amortization of acquired technology intangible assets from Amortization of acquired intangible assets set forth under Operating expenses to Cost of revenues from “Amortization of acquired intangible assets” set forth under “Operating Expenses”.revenue. The reclassification of amortizationAmortization of acquired technology intangible assets toincreased Cost of revenues and decreased gross profitOperating expenses by $4.2$4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from previously reported amounts.

General and $4.4administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million with a corresponding decrease of $192,000, $805,000 and $1.2 million in Cost of revenues for service, Research and development expense and Sales and marketing expense, respectively, for the three months ended December 31,September 30, 2005 from previously reported amounts. This reclassification related to a change in the method of allocating operating expenses within the Company.

NOTE 2—NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following newRecently issued accounting policies were adopted in the nine months ended March 31, 2006:

Share-based paymentpronouncements

On July 1, 2005,In September 2006, the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior year Misstatements when Quantifying Current year Misstatements,(“SAB 108”).SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB 108 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2007 annual financial statements. The Company adoptedis currently assessing the fair value-based method for measurement and cost recognitionpotential impact that the adoption of employee share-based compensation arrangements underSAB 108 will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 123R”157”), usingwhich defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the modified prospective application transitional approach. Previously,source of the information. This statement is effective for the Company had elected to account for employee share-based compensation usingbeginning July 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the intrinsic value method based upon Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. The intrinsic value method generally did not result in any compensation cost being recorded for employee stock options since the exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

Under the modified prospective application transitional approach, share-based compensation is recognized for awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled subsequent topotential impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R. 157 will have on its financial statements.

In addition, share-based compensation is recognized, subsequent toJuly 2006, the adoptionFASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 on Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—an interpretation of SFAS 123R,FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, an entity should presume that a taxing authority will examine a tax position when evaluating the remaining portionposition for recognition and measurement; therefore, assessment of the vesting period (if any) for outstanding awards granted prior toprobability of the daterisk of adoption. Prior periods haveexamination is not been adjusted andappropriate. In applying the Company continues to provide pro forma disclosure as if it had accounted for employee share-based payments in all periods presented under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123, “AccountingFIN 48, there will be distinct recognition and measurement evaluations. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for Stock-based Compensation”,recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize will be measured as the maximum amount which is presented below.

On subsequent recognition and measurement the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent management’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, even though the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. Subsequent recognition, derecognition, and measurement should be based on the grant date,new information. A liability for interest or penalties or both will be recognized as deemed to be incurred based on the calculated fair valueprovisions of the award. The Company has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award when estimating fair value. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee requisite service period, which in the Company’s circumstancestax law, that is, the stated vesting period for which the taxing authority will begin assessing the interest or penalties or both. The amount of the award, provided that total compensation costinterest expense recognized at least equals the pro rata value of the award that has vested. Compensation cost is initiallywill be based on the estimated numberdifference between the amount recognized in the financial statements and the benefit recognized in the tax return. On transition, the change in net assets due to applying the provisions of options for which the requisite service is expectedfinal interpretation will be considered as a change in accounting principle with the cumulative effect of the change treated as an offsetting adjustment to be rendered. This estimate is adjustedthe opening balance of retained earnings in the period once actual forfeitures are known.

Had the Company adopted the fair value-based method for accounting for share-based compensation in all prior periods presented, the pro-forma impact on net income and net income per share wouldof transition. FIN 48 will be effective as follows:

Amortization period for leasehold improvements

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Abstract No. 05-06, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements” (“EITF 05-6”). The pronouncement requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination, or purchased subsequent to the inception of the lease and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term, be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term that includes reasonably assured lease renewals as determined on the date of the acquisition of the leasehold improvement. This pronouncement is being applied by the Company prospectively for leasehold improvements purchased or acquired on or after July 1, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05-6 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Accounting changes and error corrections

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”), which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for, and reporting of, changes in accounting principles and error corrections. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by new accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so. Certain disclosures are also required for restatements due to correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal yearsfirst annual period beginning after December 15, 2005,2006 and will be adopted by the Company for the year ended June 30, 2007.2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 154 will haveFIN 48 on the Company’s results of operations andits financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting changes and the nature of transitional guidance provided in future accounting pronouncements.statements.

NOTE 3—INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist of investments in the equity of Hummingbird Ltd. (“Hummingbird”). The cost of the investment is $21.1 million. Unrealized gains and losses on this investment, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity wherein the Company has recorded a gain, net of tax, of $206,000 and a loss, net of tax, of $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. As of September 30, 2006, the fair value of this investment was approximately $21.1 million and was determined based on the closing price of Hummingbird shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

On October 2, 2006 the Company acquired all of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Hummingbird. For details relating to this acquisition see Note 17 “Acquisitions” in these Notes to Interim Financial Statements.

Pension liabilities

IXOS Software AG (“IXOS”), in which theThe Company acquired a controlling interest in IXOS in March 2004,2004. IXOS has pension commitments to employees as well as to current and previous members of its executive board. The actuarial cost method used in determining the net periodic pension cost, with respect to the IXOS employees, is the projected unit credit method. The liabilities and annual income or expense of the Company’s pension plan are determined using methodologies that involve various actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the long-term rate of return on assets. The Company’s policy is to deposit amounts with an insurance company to cover the actuarial present value of the expected retirement benefits. The total held in short-term investments as of March 31,September 30, 2006 was $2.2$2.6 million, (June 30, 2005 – $2.32006 - $2.6 million), while the. The fair value of the pension obligation as of March 31,September 30, 2006 was $2.8$3.0 million, (June 30, 2005 – $2.92006 - $3.0 million).

Asset retirement obligations

The Company is required to return certain of its leased facilities to their original state at the conclusion of the lease. The Company has accounted for such obligations in accordance with FASB SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”). At September 30, 2006, the present value of this obligation was $3.8 million, (June 30, 2006 - $3.9 million), with an undiscounted value of $4.8 million, (June 30, 2006 - $4.8 million). These leases were primarily assumed in connection with the IXOS acquisition.

Excess facility obligations and accruals relating to acquisitions

The Company has accrued for the cost of excess facilities both in connection with its fiscalFiscal 2004 and fiscalFiscal 2006 restructuring, as well as with a number of its acquisitions. These accruals represent the Company’s best estimate in respect of future sub-lease income and costs incurred to achieve sub-tenancy. These liabilities have been recorded using present value discounting techniques and will be discharged over the term of the respective leases. The difference between the present value and actual cash paid for the excess facility will be charged to other income over the terms of the leases ranging between several months to 17 years.

Transaction-related costs include amounts provided for certain pre-acquisition contingencies.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except per share data)

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123R123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) and United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, while the options issued by the Company are subject to both vesting and restrictions on transfer. In addition, 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. The Company uses historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimates the expected life of its stock options based upon historical data.

The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of the Company’s 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 three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, the weighted-average fair value of options granted, as of the grant date, was $9.30,$7.50, using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 54%47%; risk-free interest rate of 4.4%4.3%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 5.54.5 years. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the weighted-average fair value of options granted, as of the grant date, was $8.47, using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 55%; risk-free interestA forfeiture rate of 4.4%; expected dividend yield5%, based on historical rates, was used to determine the net amount of 0%; and expected life of 5.5 years.compensation expense recognized.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 no stock options were granted by the weighted-average fair value of options granted, as of the grant date, during the periods was $9.73 and $8.25, respectively, using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%; risk-free interest rate of 3.5%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 3.5 years.Company.

In each of the above periods, no cash was used by the Company to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

The fair value of awards granted prior to July 1, 2005 is not adjusted to be consistent with the provisionprovisions of SFAS 123R from the amounts disclosed previously, on a pro forma basis, in the audited notesAudited Notes to the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-Ks or in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsInterim Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-Qs. As of March 31,September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock awards not yet recognized in the statement of operations was $9.3$10.9 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years. As of September 30, 2005, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock awards not yet recognized in the statement of operations was $10.6 million, which would have been recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of operationsincome for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 was approximately $1.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively.$1.3 million. Deferred tax assets of $144,000 and $467,000$171,000 were recorded, as of September 30, 2006 in relation to the tax effect of certain stock options that are eligible for a tax deduction when exercised. Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively,September 30, 2005 was approximately $1.4 million. Deferred tax assets of $169,000 were recorded, as of September 30, 2005 in relation to the tax effect of certain stock options that are eligible for a tax deduction when exercised. The Company has not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, was a decrease in net income of $1.0 million and an increase in net loss of $3.4 million, respectively, net of related tax effects, and a decreased net income per share of $0.02 and $ 0.07, respectively on both a basic and diluted share basis.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, cash in the amount of $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively,$299,000 was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements.

The ESPP, under its original terms, qualified as a non-compensatory plan under APB 25 and as such no compensation cost was recorded in relation to the discount offered to employees for purchases made under the ESPP.

The original terms of the ESPP would have resulted in it being treated as a compensatory plan under the fair value-based method of SFAS 123R. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company amended the terms of its ESPP to set the amount at which Common Shares may be purchased by employees to 95% of the average market price of the Common Shares on the TSX or NASDAQ on the last day of the purchase period. The choice of the appropriate market for determining the average market price is based upon the market that had the greatest volume of trading of Common Shares in that period. As a result of the amendments, the ESPP is not considered a compensatory plan under the provisions of SFAS 123R, and as a result no compensation cost has been recorded in relation to the ESPP for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006.

During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, 25,691 Common Shares were issued under the ESPP. During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, 281,09322,209 Common Shares were issued under the ESPP for cash collected from employees in prior periods totaling $3.4 million.$305,000. In addition, cash in the amount of $172,000$179,190 was received from employees for the three months ended March 31, 2006, that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, 255,402 Common Shares were issued under the ESPP for cash collected from employees totaling $3.1 million.

NOTE 10—11—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the number of Common Sharesshares used in the calculation of basic net income (loss) 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 (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 12—ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETSINCOME TAXES

The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions, and accordingly, the Company’s income is subject to varying rates of tax. Losses incurred in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset income taxes payable in another. The Company’s ability to use income tax losses and future income tax deductions is dependent upon the profitable operations of the Company in the tax jurisdictions in which such losses or deductions arise. As of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $62.1 million and $65.9 million respectively, and total deferred tax liabilities of $29.2 million and $31.7 million, respectively.

Deferred tax assets arise primarily from available income tax losses and future income tax deductions. The Company provides a valuation allowance if sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of certain deferred tax assets. Taking into account the following factors: (i) the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, (ii) projected future taxable income, (iii) the character of the income tax assets and (iv) tax planning strategies, a valuation allowance of $126.5 million and $127.5 million was required as of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The majority of the valuation allowance relates to uncertainties regarding the utilization of foreign pre-acquisition losses of Gauss Interprise AG (“Gauss”) and IXOS. The Company continues to evaluate its taxable position quarterly and considers factors by taxing jurisdiction such as estimated taxable income, the history of losses for tax purposes and the growth of the Company, among others. The principal component of the total deferred tax liabilities arises from acquired intangible assets purchased in the Gauss and IXOS transactions.

NOTE 13—SEGMENT INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for the reporting, by public business enterprises, of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method of determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance.

The Company’s operations fall into one dominant industry segment, being enterprise content management software. The Company manages its operations, and accordingly determines its operating segments, on a geographic basis. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and Europe. The Company evaluates operating segment performance based on revenues and direct operating expenses of the segment, based on the location of the respective customers. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies. No segments have been aggregated.

Included in the following operating results are allocations of certain operating costs that are incurred in one reporting segment but which relate to all reporting segments. The allocations of these common operating costs are consistent with the manner in which they are allocated for the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Company’s analysis. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, the “Other” category consists of geographic regions other than North America and Europe. Revenues from transactions that both emanate and conclude within operating segments are not considered for the purpose of this disclosure since such transactions are not reviewed by the CODM.

Adjusted operating margin from operating segments does not include: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) provision for (recovery of) restructuring charges, (iii) other income (expense), (iv) share-based compensation and (v) provision for income taxes. Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets have been

IXOS domination agreements

On December 1, 2004, the Company announced that—through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 2016091 Ontario, Inc.

Also inwithin the Domination Agreement, Ontario I offersterms of the IXOS DA, Open Text offered to purchase the remaining Common Shares of IXOS for a cash purchase price of Euro 9.38 per share (“Purchase Price”) which was the weighted average fair value of the IXOS Common Shares as of December 1, 2004. Pursuant to the Domination Agreement, Ontario I also guaranteesAdditionally, Open Text has guaranteed a payment by IXOS to the minority shareholders of IXOS of an annual compensation of Euro 0.42 per share (“Annual Compensation”). On January 14, 2005, the shareholders of IXOS confirmed that IXOS had entered into the Domination Agreement. At the same meeting, the shareholders approved the motion to delist IXOS from the Frankfurt Exchange (“Delisting”).

In the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company commenced accruing the amount payable to minority shareholders of IXOS on account of Annual Compensation.

While the Court of First Instance rendered a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, Gauss, as defendant, had appealed and believed that the Court of Second Instance would overturn the judgment and rule in favor of Gauss.

OVERVIEW

About Open Text

Open Text isWe are one of the market leaders in providing Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) solutions that bring together people, processes and information. Our software combines collaboration with content management, transforming information into knowledge that provides the foundation for innovation, compliance and accelerated growth.

The Information TechnologyPurchase of Hummingbird Ltd. (“IT”Hummingbird”) Environment

We are not seeing much changeOn October 2, 2006, we successfully closed the purchase of Hummingbird, a Toronto based, global provider of ECM solutions. This transaction was the culmination of an offer made by us, on July 2006 to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of this company.

The approximate value of this all cash transaction was $494.0 million, inclusive of our earlier purchase, in June 2006, of approximately 4.3% of issued and outstanding shares of Hummingbird.

The transaction was financed by way of a $390.0 million term loan facility from a Canadian chartered bank, Hummingbird’s cash in the IT environment as customers appear to be holding onto their legacy systems longer. However, inamount of approximately $58.0 million and the past several quarters, we are seeing our customers utilize their existing IT budgets to spend on ECM solutions that assist in meeting regulatory and compliance requirements. This purchasing patternrest through the use of our customers has generally evolved in response to the heightened regulatoryavailable cash.

We believe that this acquisition will enhance our size and compliance requirements in many industriesglobal reach and will further solidify our position as a result of government policy and legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, we have also witnessed lengthening customer sales cycles that are characteristic of compliance-based sales.

Alliances

We intend to continue to work more closely with partners that heavily influence our customers’ computing architecture and strategy. These partners include system integrators like Deloitte and Touche LLP, Accenture, and Atos Origin S.A., (“Atos Origin”), independent software vendors like Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and SAP, and storage vendors including Hitachi Limited, EMC Corporation and Hewlett Packard Company.

Open Text has been certified by Microsoft as a Microsoft Gold Partner with a track record for delivering powerful ECM solutions that extend Microsoft applications. Microsoft’s desktop and business platforms match well with our solutions, which meet the document management, archiving and compliance requirements of large companies and government agencies.

On November 14, 2005, we announced enhancements in our relationship with Microsoft to become a worldwide ECM partner with Microsoft. On February 13, 2006, our Executive Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Tom Jenkins gave a keynote address at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Munich, Germany. The companies are working to enhance Open Text solutions in ways that combine the Microsoft platform with Open Text’s knowledgeleading provider of ECM solutions.

On March 7, 2006, we announced the signing The union of a global alliance between Open Text and Atos OriginHummingbird will now strengthen our ability to jointly offer innovative state-of-the-art ECM solutions. The companiesreach a wider, more diversified audience and as such we believe the acquisition of Hummingbird will collaborate oncreate a strong strategic fit that adds to our “solutions focus” and will increase the implementationreach of joint market offerings, using Open Text’s Livelink ECM software in conjunction with a range of consulting, systems integration, application management and managed operation services from Atos Origin.

In response to increased interest from customers in our email archiving products, we intend to continue to work with partners that provide specialized products and expertise that complement our own in this area. Those partners include Microsoft and IBM, as the dominant email vendors, Vedder Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C., a legal firm specializing in

records and retention policies, with Technology Concepts and Design Inc. (“TCDI”), a litigation technology software and service specialist, and with Trusted Edge Inc., which provides desktop information classification and control software.

Customers

Our customer base is diversified by industry and geography which is the result of a continued focus on the 2,000 largest global organizations as our primary target market. We continue to see regulatory requirements as a key business driver and the majority of new customer licenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were driven by our customers’ compliance-based requirements. Industries such as Government, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences, Oil and Gas, and Financial Services have greater demand for specific software solutions to solve compliance-based business problems. We have created specific ECM software solutions to address this demand and continue to work closely with customers and their strategic partners to ensure maximization of their software investments.

Notable customer announcements during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included:

On February 2, 2006, we announced that Husky Energy Inc. (“Husky”) had chosen Open Text’s records management and ECM solutions for SAP to help support information management compliance. The solutions will facilitate the management, retention and disposition of both paper and electronic documents throughout the enterprise and help Husky leverage its existing investments in SAP solutions.

On February 13, 2006, we announced that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA®) purchased Open Text Artesia Digital Asset Management solution, Artesia DAM, to assist in the management of its broadcast video content.

Special Charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded a recovery of special charges of $557,000. This reduction is comprised of a recovery of $685,000, relating to the fiscal 2006 restructuring plan, primarily representing reductions in estimates of employee termination costs, and a recovery of $22,000 related to the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan. This reduction was offset by a charge of $150,000, related to the impairment of capital assets.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded special charges of $26.3 million which consisted primarily of $22.8 million relating to the fiscal 2006 restructuring plan and $3.9 million relating to the write down of capital assets. This charge was offset by a recovery of $351,000 relating to the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan.

The fiscal 2006 restructuring plan relates primarily to a reduction in our workforce and abandonment of excess facilities. The restructuring has impacted both our North American and European operations. The restructuring is being done primarily with a view to streamline our operations. Overall we expect the total restructuring charge to be in the range of approximately $25 to $30 million, of which $26.7 million has been expensed to date. Significant actions relating to work force reductions are expected to be completed by June 30, 2006 and the accruals relating to abandonment of excess facilities are expected to be paid by January 2014.

The asset write-downs relate to capital assets that were written down to fair value, various leasehold improvements at vacated premises and redundant office equipment. Fair value was determined based on our estimate of disposal proceeds, net of anticipated costs to sell.

Further details relating to special charges are provided in the “Operating Expenses” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 15 “Special Charges” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with thoseResults of the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), with the exception of our adoption on July 1, 2005 of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) as described below.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenues, bad debts, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, special charges, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed at the time to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The critical accounting policies affecting significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements have been applied as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 filed with the SEC. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results will differ, potentially materially, from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions and estimates are outside of our control.

Adoption of SFAS 123ROperations

On July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value-based method for measurement and cost recognition of employee share-based compensation under the provisions of FASB SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective application transitional approach. Previously, we had been accounting for employee share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method, which generally did not result in any compensation cost being recorded for stock options since the exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

Our stock options are now accounted for under SFAS 123R. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the fair value of each option was estimated using the following weighted–average assumptions: expected volatility of 54%; risk-free interest rate of 4.4%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 5.5 years. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the fair value of each option was estimated using the following weighted–average assumptions: expected volatility of 55%; risk-free interest rate of 4.4%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 5.5 years. Expected option lives and volatilities are based on our historical data.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, the fair value of each option was estimated using the following weighted–average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%; risk-free interest rate of 3.5%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and expected life of 3.5 years.

Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $1.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, net of related tax effects. This includes deferred tax assets of $144,000 and $467,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 respectively, in relation to the tax effect of certain stock options that are eligible for a tax deduction when exercised. As of March 31, 2006, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized was $9.3 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

We made no modifications to the terms of our outstanding share options in anticipation of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Also, we made no changes in either the quantity or type of instruments used in our share option plans or the terms of our share option plans.

Additionally, effective July 1, 2005, we amended the terms of our Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to set the amount at which Common Shares may be purchased by employees to 95% of the average market price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) or the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) on the last day of the purchase period. As a result of the amendments, the ESPP is no longer considered a compensatory plan under the provisions of SFAS 123R, and as a result no compensation cost is recorded related to the ESPP.

In Fiscal 2006, we announced that our operational focus was on increasing near-term profitability by streamlining our operations. In the resultsfirst quarter of Fiscal 2006, our Board approved and we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and consolidate our excess facilities, (“Fiscal 2006 restructuring plan”). In this current quarter of Fiscal 2007, we are pleased to see our efforts materializing. Revenue has increased by 9.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, while costs of revenue have increased only slightly by 3.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. As a result we have seen our gross profit increase by over 12.0% compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. We believe our Fiscal 2006 restructuring initiative has been successful and we expect to continue to see savings in Fiscal 2007. Absent the impact of the restructuring initiative, operating income increased by $9.0 million, in the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, due to a combination of stronger gross margins and a general decrease in operating loss in the aftermath of the restructuring initiative.

Going forward we will continue to strive to provide customers with an independent alternative to manage information in a compliant and transparent way, while ensuring that content is safe, searchable and readily accessible. We have already taken steps to solidify our position with the acquisition of Hummingbird. In addition, we are seeing the ECM market growing by approximately 8% to 12% a year. With the acquisition of FileNet Inc. by IBM Corporation, in August 2006, we are now positioned as one of the largest independent providers of ECM solutions in the market, and we think that our independence will help us to compete more effectively, primarily because system integrators will appreciate our neutrality and will want to work with us, over vendors who may be seen as competitors.

We will also continue to adapt to market changes in the ECM sector by developing new solutions, leveraging our existing solutions and utilizing our partner programs to reach new customers, and to serve existing customers more effectively. We also expect to announce the “formal” release of Livelink ECM version 10.0, our next major product release, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2007. Livelink 10.0 is a higher “value-added” application that will offer the ability to connect with or interact with various platforms from other vendors.

License Revenue

License revenue consists of fees earned from the licensing of our software products to customers.

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, licenseLicense revenue decreased by 14.0% and 9.1% respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2005.

License revenueincreased in the three months ended March 31, 2006 is comparable, in local currency terms, to license revenue generated in the corresponding period in fiscal 2005. The decrease in license revenue of $4.6 million, illustrated above, is primarily attributable to a weakening of the Euro by approximately 9% in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 compared to the Euro in the three months ended March 31, 2005. Therefore, over all the decrease in license revenue was marginal at 5%.

Overall, in the nine months ended March 31, 2006, license revenue in North America is increasing ahead of management’s expectation. The decrease of 9.1% from the same period in the prior quarter isfiscal year, primarily attributabledue to increases in license sales in Europe—which contributed to 90% of this increase along with an 11% increase contributed by “Other” countries and offset by a weakeningslight decrease in North America of the Euro.

In the quarter ended March 31, 20061%. Overall, we concluded two transactions that were greater than $1 million compared to two in the in the comparable period in fiscal 2005 and in the nine months ended March 31, 2006 we concluded five such transactions compared to eight in the corresponding period in fiscal 2005.generated 35% of license revenue from new customers.

Customer Support Revenue

Customer support revenue consists of revenue 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 revenue is generated from such support and maintenance agreements relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software

licenses sold in prior periods. As our installed base grows, the renewal rate has a larger influence on customer support revenue than the current software revenue growth. Therefore, changes in customer support revenue do not necessarily correlate directly to the changes in license revenue in a given period. Typically the term of these support and maintenance agreements is twelve months, with customer renewal options. We have historically experienced a renewal rate greater thanover 90% but continue to encounter pricing pressure from our customers during contract negotiation and renewal. New license sales create additional customer support agreements which contribute substantially to the increase in our customer support revenue.

InCustomer support revenue increased in the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 customer support revenues increased by 1.5% and 6.4% respectively compared to the corresponding periodssame period in the prior fiscal 2005year, primarily due to licenses soldbecause we saw, (and in prior periods.almost equal amounts), increases in North America and Europe, offset by a marginal decrease in the other countries.

Service Revenue

Service revenue consists of revenues from contracts for professional technical consulting servicescontracts and contracts to provide training and integration services.

InService revenue grew modestly in the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, service revenues decreased marginally, by 1.2% and 0.7% respectively, compared to the corresponding periodssame period in the prior fiscal 2005.

This slight decrease wasyear. We are pleased to see such growth, as historically service revenue is lower in the first quarter of the fiscal year due to foreign exchange impactsboth our employees and a reductionour customers taking vacation time during this period, resulting in lower billable hours. We continue to see demand in North America for our trainingSAP related ECM services, whichwith revenue from North America growing by approximately 12%. We expect this trend to continue in the future. Our growth in North America was offset by an increasea decrease in revenuesrevenue from our professional technical consulting services.global services outside of North America.

North America

The North America geographic segment includes Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Revenues in North America increased in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the North American market showing greater interest in our ECM and SAP solutions. Overall, 48% of our revenue was generated from this segment in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Europe

The Europe geographic segment includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, whileKingdom.

Revenues in Europe increased strongly in the “Other”three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of significant growth in license and customer service revenues in Europe. We did particularly well in both the UK and the Nordic regions, however, the rest of Europe also met their targets.

Other

The “other” geographic segment includes Australia, Japan, Malaysia, and the Middle East region.

Revenues from our “other” segments increased only slightly in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Europe

The aboveOur adjusted operating margins have increased in all geographies in the first quarter of Fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2006 on account of our customers being increasingly interested in purchasing a complete ECM platform which generally involves a larger dollar value transaction. This has the effect of lengthening lead times for new and existing opportunities.

Adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. Such non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus our definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We use this financial measure to supplement the information provided in our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of adjusted operating margin is not meant to be a substitute for net income 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. Adjusted operating margin is calculated based on a GAAP net income (loss) excluding where applicable,before including the impact of amortization interest,of acquired intangibles, special charges, other income/expense, share-based compensation other expense, special chargesexpenses and incomethe provision for taxes. See Note 7 “Segment Information”These items are excluded based upon the manner in which our management evaluates our business. We believe the provision of this non-GAAP measure allows our investors to evaluate the accompanying condensed consolidatedoperational and financial statements forperformance of our core business using the same evaluation measures that we use to make decisions. As such we believe this non-GAAP measure is a useful indication of our performance or expected performance of recurring operations and may facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operating performance.

A reconciliation of our adjusted operating margin to GAAP net income (loss).as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP is provided below:

Adjusted operating margins increased in Europe for the current quarter compared to same period in the prior fiscal year due to significantly lower levels of operating expenses resulting from the 2006 restructuring plan. Operating margins in North America improved on account of higher revenues and lower levels of increases in operating expenses.

Since the beginning of our fiscal 2006 year North America margins increased due to realigned sales management efforts in North America. The changes in operating margin in Europe were primarily due to a weakening of European currencies, and the impact of the 2006 restructuring on Europe.

InCost of service revenues increased in the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 cost of customer service revenues decreased by 8.0% and 1.5%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periodssame period in the prior fiscal 2005. In absolute dollar terms these costs decreased by $1.7 million and $907,000 in each of the above indicated periods. The decrease is primarily due to efficienciesyear as a result of our global restructuring efforts.increased revenues. The increase in costs was lower than the increase in revenues, which favorably increased services’ gross margins in the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. This favorable increase in margins was in part due to a reclassification of revenue and expenses we made between Customer support and Service. For further details regarding this reclassification please see Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” under Part I of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Amortization of acquired technology intangible assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets includes the amortization of patents and customer assets. Amortization of acquired technology is included as an element of cost of sales. The slight increase in amortization of acquired technology intangible assets has been retroactively reclassified to Cost of revenues. The reclassification of amortization of acquired technology intangible assets to Cost of revenues increased total cost of revenues by $4.4 million and $13.0 million forin the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, respectively. The reclassificationcompared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, is primarily the result of Amortizationadditional amortization resulting from the increase in our ownership of acquired technology assets to Cost of revenues increased total Cost of revenues by $4.3 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, respectively, from previously reported amounts. There was no change to income from operations or net income (loss) per share in any of the periods presented.IXOS.

Fordevelopment expenses decreased by $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 R&D expenses decreased by 22.5% or $4.1 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Thisyear primarily due to a decrease is attributable primarily to staff reductions of $2.2 million,in our labor and the balance relating to operational efficiencies achievedlabor related expenses, as a result of our Fiscal 2006 restructuring activities.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, R&D expenses decreased by 6.6% or $3.2 million primarily as the result of our restructuring efforts.initiative.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs related to salespersonnel expenses and marketing personnel, as well as costs associated with advertising and trade shows, seminars,shows.

Sales and other marketing programs.

Forexpenses declined marginally by $344,000 in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 sales and marketing expenses decreased by 12.7% or $3.6 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses have decreased as a result of our restructuring program that included a consolidation of management structures, reduction of administrative staff and a reduction of selling staff in low growth geographies and/or products. These actions are expected to allow redeployment to markets with better opportunities.

Also due to 2006 restructuring: for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, sales and marketing expenses decreased by 6.7% or $5.7 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, for the same reasons as above.

Overall, salesprimarily due to a decrease of labor and marketingoverhead and office expenses. The decrease in these expenses expressedwas as a percentageresult of total revenues, have been stableour Fiscal 2006 restructuring initiative. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in our commission and other related operating expenses, as the 24% to 26% range.result of normal business activity.

For

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $379,000 in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 general and administrative expenses increased by 9.5% or $952,000 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. As a percentageThe decrease was primarily the result of total revenues,savings from our compliance and regulatory fees, which we achieved as the result of efficiencies gained from operating improvements.

Share-based compensation expense

On July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value-based method for measurement and cost recognition of employee share-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective application transitional approach. Previously, we had been accounting for employee share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method, which generally did not result in any compensation cost being recorded for stock options since the third quarter of fiscal 2006, general and administrative expenses increasedexercise price was equal to 10.9% from 9.6% in the same quartermarket price of the prior fiscal year. The majorityunderlying shares on the date of absolute dollar increase is due to an increase in recruiting costsgrant. Under SFAS 123R, we estimate the fair value of $308,000 as well aseach option granted on the inclusiondate of share-based compensation expense of $252,000 and facilities based accretion charges of $376,000.the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

For the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2006, generalthe weighted-average fair value of options granted, as of the grant date, was $7.50 using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 47%; risk-free interest rate of 4.3%; expected dividend yield of 0%; and administrative expenses increased 5.5% or $1.7 million comparedexpected life of 4.5 years.

We granted no stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Share-based compensation cost included in the statement of income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $1.3 million. Additionally, deferred tax assets of $171,000 were recorded as of September 30, 2006 in relation to the sametax effect of certain stock options that are eligible for a tax deduction when exercised. As of September 30, 2006, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized is $10.9 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Depreciation expenses

For theDepreciation expenses increased marginally in three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 depreciation expenses decreased by $350,000 or 11.5% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due to write downs of capital assets, primarily in the first and second quarter of fiscal 2006. In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we began to depreciate our Waterloo building. As a result, for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, depreciation expenses have remained relatively constant, at $8.0 million, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, asdue to the decrease in depreciation has now been partially offset by the depreciation of new capital assets acquired and the commencementinclusion of the deprecation of our Waterloo building on which depreciation oncommenced only in the Waterloo building.second quarter of Fiscal 2006.

These increases are due to the impact of our fiscal 2005 acquisitions.IXOS.

Special Charges

In the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded a recovery of special charges of $557,000. This reduction is comprised of a recovery of $685,000 relating to the fiscal 2006 restructuring plan, primarily representing reductions in estimates of employee termination costs, and a recovery of $22,000 related to the fiscal 2004 restructuring. This reduction was offset by a charge of $150,000 related to the impairment of capital assets. Details of each component of special charges are discussed below.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded special charges of $26.3 million. These charges were primarily comprised of $22.8 million relating to the fiscal 2006 restructuring plan and $3.9 million related to the impairment of capital assets, which were partially offset by a recovery of $351,000 related to the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan. Details of each component of special charges are discussed below.

Restructuring charges(recoveries)

Fiscal 2007 Restructuring

On October 5, 2006, we committed to a plan to terminate various employees and abandon certain real estate facilities as part of our integration with Hummingbird. We are currently in the process of determining the estimates

of the amounts expected to be incurred in connection with this initiative. As part of this integration, we are reducing our worldwide workforce of 3,500 people by approximately 15 percent. The restructuring actions commenced in October 2006 and to date, approximately 60 percent of these reductions have been completed. The remaining staff reductions are expected to be completed by the end of November, 2006. The staff reductions will be focused on redundant positions or areas of the business that are not consistent with the company’s strategic focus. We are also reducing 38 facilities by closing or consolidating offices in certain locations.

Fiscal 2006 Restructuring

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, theFiscal 2006, our Board approved, and we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and consolidate our excess facilities (“Fiscal 2006 restructuring plan”). These charges relate to work force reductions, abandonment of excess facilities and other miscellaneous direct costs. Total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2006 restructuring plan are expected to be in the rangeapproximately $22.0 million. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of $25 million to $30 million, of which $22.8 million has been recorded relating to work force reductions, abandonment of excess facilitiesthese balances and other miscellaneous costs,revise our assumptions and $3.9 million has been recordedestimates, as an impairment of capital assets.appropriate.

Fiscal 2004 Restructuring

In the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $10 million relating primarily to our North America segment. The charge consisted primarily of costs associated with a workforce reduction, excess facilities associated with the integration of the IXOS acquisition, write downs of capital assets and legal costs related to the termination of facilities. On a quarterly basis we conduct an evaluation of these balances and we revise our assumptions and estimates, as appropriate. As part of these quarterly evaluations, we recorded recoveries to this restructuring charge of $303,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005, $26,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2005 and $22,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. These recoveries primarily represented reductions in estimated employee termination costs and recoveries in estimates relating to accruals for abandoned facilities. All actions relating to employer workforcework force reduction were completed, and the related costs expended, as of March 31, 2006. The provision for our facility costs is expected to be expended by 2011.

Income taxes

We operate in variousrecorded a tax jurisdictions, and accordingly, our income is subject to varying ratesprovision of tax. Losses incurred in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset income taxes payable in another. Our ability to use these income tax losses and future income tax deductions is dependent upon the profitability of our operations in the tax jurisdictions in which such losses or deductions arise. As of March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, we had total net deferred tax assets of $48.0$4.3 million and $46.8 million and total deferred tax liabilities of $31.2 million and $39.4 million, respectively.

The principal component of the total net deferred tax assets are temporary differences associated with net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2006 arise primarily from available income tax losses and future income tax deductions. We provide a valuation allowance if sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of certain deferred tax assets. Based on the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, the character of the income tax assets and tax planning strategies, a valuation allowance of $136.0 million and $127.6 million was required as of March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The majority of the valuation allowance relates to uncertainties regarding the utilization of foreign pre-acquisition losses of Gauss and IXOS. We continue to evaluate our taxable position quarterly and consider factors by taxing jurisdiction such as estimated taxable income, the history of losses for tax purposes and our growth, among others. The principal component of the total deferred tax liabilities arises from acquired intangible assets purchased on the Gauss and IXOS transactions.

During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 we recorded a tax expense of $2.6 million compared to a tax expenserecovery of $1.4$4.4 million duringfor the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2005. This increaseis as a result of positive net income in tax expense corresponds to an increasethe current quarter (versus a loss in the same period in the prior fiscal year) and the impact of higher income between periods.being earned in jurisdictions with a higher statutory rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2006 we held $113.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $33.6 million from June 30, 2005. The increase in cash was attributable to positive operating cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 of $45.4 million and cash provided by financing activities of $17.1 million, offset by cash used in investing activities of $28.4 million and the impact of foreign exchange rates on non-U.S dollar currencies of $463,000.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was relatively stable at $28.7 million and $45.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 respectively, as compared to $29.9 million and $46.7increased by $9.4 million in the corresponding periodsthree months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.year, primarily as a result of an increase in net income of approximately $20.2 million, an increase in the impact of non-cash charges of $5.7 million offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $16.5 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $8.0approximately $7.0 million and by $34.5 million forduring the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 respectively, compared to the corresponding periodssame period in the prior fiscal year. The overall decrease in investing expenditures was primarily due to no additional businessa reduction in capital expenditures of $3.2 million, and reduced spending on prior period acquisitions being made in fiscal 2006 and fewer purchases(including IXOS) of IXOS and Gauss minority interest outstanding shares, offset by the increased capital spending relating to the new Waterloo building.

$6.1 million. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2006 related primarily to $2.2 million relating to purchases of capital assets, $3.3 million relating to the Optura acquisition in fiscal 2005, $3.1 million relating to acquisition of additional IXOS shares and the balance offset by a higher usage of acquisition related accruals.

The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 related primarily to a $31.0 million relating to acquisitions made in the nine months ended March 31, 2005, $3.1 million relating to acquisition of additional IXOS shares, $4.6 million relating to a lower overall usage of acquisition related accrualswas offset by an increase in purchasesacquisition related costs of capital assets$2.3 million, which includes a payment of $4.2 million.$829,000 for the open market purchase of Hummingbird shares in June 2006.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing increased marginally by $19.0 million and by $61.7 million for$274,000 in the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2006 respectively compared to the corresponding periodssame period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to the fact that we did not repurchase anyincreased proceeds on issuance of our common shares, during the current fiscal year and as a result of the mortgage financing secured on our Waterloo building.

The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2006 related primarily to an increase of $19.0 million used to repurchase our common shares in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Weoffset by payments we made no such purchases in the current quarter.

The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 related primarily to an increase of $47.8 million relating to repurchases of our common shares which we made in fiscal 2005, compared to no such purchases in fiscal 2006, and to a mortgage of $12.9 million, obtained from a Canadian chartered bank, which is secured by our Waterloo building. As of March 31, 2006, the carrying value of the building was $15.9 million and that of the mortgage was $12.9 million.

On February 2, 2006 we secured a demand operating facility of CDN $40.0 million with a Canadian chartered bank. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at varying rates depending upon the nature of the borrowing. We have pledged certain of our assets as collateral for this demand operating facility. There are no stand-by fees for this facility. As of March 31, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

We financed our operations and capital expenditures during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 primarily with cash flows generated from operations. The proceeds from the above mentioned mortgage are currently invested with a

Canadian chartered bank in short term investments that have maturities of less than 90 days. We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents and available credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.financing.

IXOS domination agreements

On December 1, 2004, we announced that—through our wholly-owned subsidiary, 2016091 Ontario, Inc. (“Ontario I”)—we had entered into a domination and profit transfer agreement (the “Domination Agreement”) with IXOS. The Domination Agreement has been registered in the commercial register at the local court of Munich in August 2005 and it has therefore come into force. Under the terms of the Domination Agreement, Ontario I has acquired authority to issue directives to the management of IXOS. Also in the Domination Agreement, Ontario I offers to purchase the remaining Common Shares of IXOS for a cash purchase price of Euro 9.38 per share (“Purchase Price”) which was the weighted average fair value of the IXOS Common Shares as of December 1, 2004. Pursuant to the Domination Agreement, Ontario I also guarantees a payment by IXOS to the minority shareholders of IXOS of an annual compensation of Euro 0.42 per share (“Annual Compensation”). On January 14, 2005, the shareholders of IXOS confirmed that IXOS had entered into the Domination Agreement. At the same meeting, the shareholders’ approved the motion to delist IXOS from the Frankfurt Exchange (“Delisting”).

The Domination Agreement was registered on August 23, 2005, and thereby became effective. As a result of the Domination Agreement coming into force, we commenced, in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, accruing the amount payable to minority shareholders of IXOS on account of Annual Compensation. This amount is accrued and has been accounted for as a “guaranteed dividend”, payable to the minority shareholders, and is recorded as a charge to minority interest in the periods.

Based on the number of minority IXOS shareholders as of March 31,September 30, 2006, the estimated amount of Annual Compensation would approximate $520,000payable to IXOS minority shareholder was approximately $130,000 for the fiscal yearthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006. Certain IXOS shareholders have filed for a procedure granted under German law at the district court of Munich, Germany, asking the court to reassess the amount of the Annual Compensation and the Purchase Price (the “IXOS Appraisal Procedures”) for the amounts offered under the Domination Agreement and under the Delisting. It cannot be predicted at this stage, whether the court will increase the Annual Compensation and/or the Purchase Price in the IXOS Appraisal Procedure. The Purchase offer made under the Domination Agreement and the Delisting will expire at the end of the IXOS Appraisal Procedure. Because we are unable to predict, with reasonable accuracy, the number of IXOS minority shareholders that will be on record in future periods, we are unable to predict the amount of Annual Compensation that will be payable in future years.

Gauss domination agreements

Pursuant to a domination agreement dated November 4, 2003 (the “Gauss Domination Agreement”) between Open Text—through its wholly owned subsidiary 2016090 Ontario Inc. (“Ontario II”)—and Gauss, Ontario II has offered to purchase the remaining outstanding shares of Gauss at a price of Euro 1.06 per Gauss share (the “Gauss Purchase Price I”).

The original acceptance period was two months after the signing of the Gauss Domination Agreement. As a result of certainCertain IXOS shareholders havinghave filed for a specialprocedure granted under German law at the district court procedureof Munich, Germany, asking the court to reassessreview the proposed amount of the Annual Compensation that must be payable to minority shareholders as a result ofand the Gauss Domination Agreement (the “Gauss Appraisal Procedure I”), the acceptance period has been extended pursuant to German law until the end of such proceedings. In addition, in April 2004 Gauss announced that effective July 1, 2004 the shares of Gauss would cease to be listed on a stock exchange. In connection with this delisting, on July 2, 2004, a second offer by Ontario II to purchase the remaining outstanding shares of Gauss at a price of Euro 1.06 per Gauss share (“Gauss Purchase Price II”), commenced. This acceptance period has also been extended pursuant to German law untilfor the end of proceedings to reassess the amount of the considerationamounts offered under German law in the delisting process (the “Gauss Appraisal Procedure II”). The shareholders’ resolution on the Gauss Domination Agreement and on the delisting was subject to a court procedure in which certain shareholders of Gauss claimed that the resolution by which the shareholders of Gauss approved of the entering into the Gauss Domination Agreement and the authorization to the management board of Gauss to file for a delisting are null and void. While the Court of First Instance rendered a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, Gauss, as defendant, had appealed and believed that the Court of Second Instance would overturn the judgment and rule in favor of Gauss. As a result of an out of court settlement, the complaints have been withdrawn. The settlement provides inter alia that an amount of Euro 0.05 per share per annum will be payable as compensation to the other shareholders of Gauss under certain circumstances, but only after registration of the Squeeze Out as defined hereafter. Gauss Appraisal Procedures I and II are still pending.IXOS DA. It cannot be predicted at this stage, whether the court will increase the GaussAnnual Compensation and/or the Purchase Price.

The purchase offer made undercosts associated with the Gauss Domination Agreementabove mentioned procedure are direct incremental costs associated with the ongoing step acquisitions of shares held by the minority shareholders. These disputes are a normal and the Delisting will expire at the endprobable part of the process of acquiring minority shares in Germany. We are unable to predict the future costs associated with these activities that will be payable in future periods.

For further details relating to the IXOS domination agreement refer to Note 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” in our Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gauss Appraisal Procedures.Squeeze Out

On August 25, 2005, at the shareholders meeting ofThe Gauss upon a motion of Ontario II, itSqueeze court administered process was decided to transfer the shares of the minority shareholders, which at the time of the shareholders’ meeting held less than 5% of the shares of Gauss, to Ontario II (“Squeeze Out”). The resolutions will become effective whensuccessfully concluded in October 2006 and registered in the commercial register atwith the local court of Hamburg. Registration of these resolutions is currently pending. Certain shareholders of Gauss have filed suits to oppose all or some of the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting of August 25, 2005. Additionally, a “fast track” motion has been commenced by Gauss to apply for registration, which is still pending in the Court of Appeals in Hamburg. The First Instance Court of Hamburg ruled on February 13, 2006 that the resolution on the Squeeze Out was void; Gauss has appealed the judgment and the outcome of the appeal is uncertain at this time.

We believe that the registration of these resolutions is a reasonable certainty; accordingly, in pursuance of these resolutions we have recorded our best estimate of the amount payable to the minority shareholders of Gauss.Gauss under the Squeeze Out. As of March 31,September 30, 2006, we havehad accrued $67,500$82,500 for such payments and we expect that apayments.

For further amount of approximately $7,500 will be payable to these shareholders by the end of the current fiscal quarter. We are not currently able to determine the final amount payable and we are unable to predict the date on which the resolutions will be registered at the local court.

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 we settle the claim at our expense or pay damages that our customers are legally required to paydetails relating to the third-party claimant. These intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses generally are subjectGauss Squeeze Out refer to limits based upon the amount of the license sale. We have not made any indemnification paymentsNote 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” in relationour Unaudited Notes to these indemnification clauses.

In connection with certain facility leases, we have guaranteed payments on behalf of our subsidiaries. This has been done through unsecured bank guarantees obtained from local banks. Additionally, our current end-user license agreement contains a limited software warranty.

We have not recorded a liability for guarantees, indemnities or warranties described above in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet since the maximum amount of potential future payments under such guarantees, indemnities and warranties is not determinable, other than as described above.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 or 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. 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 thresholdscriteria for capitalization.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Current Year Misstatements,(“SAB 108”).SAB 108 requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality and provides for a one-time cumulative effect transition adjustment. SAB 108 is effective for our fiscal year 2007 annual financial statements. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SAB 108 will have on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for us beginning July 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 on Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, an entity should presume that a taxing authority will examine a tax position when evaluating the position for recognition and measurement; therefore, assessment of the probability of the risk of examination is not appropriate. In applying the provisions of FIN 48, there will be distinct recognition and measurement evaluations. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the appropriate amount of the benefit to recognize. The amount of benefit to recognize will be measured as the maximum amount which is more likely than not, to be realized. The tax position should be derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. On subsequent recognition and measurement the maximum amount which is more likely than not to be recognized at each reporting date will represent management’s best estimate, given the information available at the reporting date, even though the outcome of the tax position is not absolute or final. Subsequent recognition, derecognition, and measurement should be based on new information. A liability for interest or penalties or both will be recognized as deemed to be incurred based on the provisions of the tax law,

that is, the period for which the taxing authority will begin assessing the interest or penalties or both. The amount of interest expense recognized will be based on the difference between the amount recognized in the financial statements and the benefit recognized in the tax return. On transition, the change in net assets due to applying the provisions of the final interpretation will be considered as a change in accounting principle with the cumulative effect of the change treated as an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of transition. FIN 48 will be effective as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2006 and will be adopted by us for the year ended June 30, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our financial statements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign currency risk

Businesses generally conduct transactions in their local currency which is also known as their functional currency. Additionally, balances that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s reporting currency must be adjusted to reflect changes in foreign exchange rates during the reporting period.

As we operate internationally, a substantial portion of our business is also conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, our results are affected, and may be affected in the future, by exchange rate fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, to various European currencies, and, to a lesser extent, other foreign currencies. Revenues and expenses generated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates during the month in which the transaction occurs. We cannot predict the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the future; however, if significant foreign exchange losses are experienced, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Moreover, in any given quarter, exchange rates can impact revenue adversely.

We have net monetary asset and liability balances in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, including primarily the Euro (“EUR”), the Pound Sterling (“GBP”), the Canadian Dollar (“CDN”), and the Swiss Franc (“CHF”). Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in U.S. Dollars. WeCurrently, we do not currently use financial instruments to hedge operating expenses in foreign currencies.

The following tables provide a sensitivity analysis on our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. For foreign currencies where we engage in material transactions, the following table quantifies the absolute impact that a 10% increase/decrease against the U.S. dollar would have had on our total revenues, operating expenses, and net income for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2006. This analysis is presented in both functional and transactional currency. Functional currency represents the currency of measurement for each of an entity’s domestic and foreign operations. Transactional currency represents the currency in which the underlying transactions take place in.place. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates for those foreign currencies not presented in these tables is not material.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controlsDisclosure Controls and proceduresProcedures

As of March 31, 2006,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 March 31, 2006,the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that material information 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 controlInternal Controls over financial reportingFinancial 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 March 31,September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks as well as uncertainties, and other factors, including those set forthdiscussed in the following cautionary statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that may cause the10-Q. The actual results performance or achievements or developments in our industry tothat we achieve may differ materially from any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the anticipated results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Thedate hereof. You should carefully review the following factors, as well as all of the other information set forth herein, should be considered carefully inwhen evaluating us and our business. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading price of our Common Shares would likely decline. Such risks are further discussed from time to time in our filings filed from time to time with the SEC.

Our acquisition of Hummingbird may adversely affect our operations and finances in the short term

On October 2, 2006 we acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Hummingbird Ltd.(“Hummingbird”) for a price of $27.85 per share, which equaled a total purchase price of approximately $494.0 million. The Hummingbird shares were acquired for cash, which required us to borrow the funds from a syndicate of leading financial institutions to help to pay for the Hummingbird acquisition. The interest costs associated with this credit facility will materially increase our operating expenses, which may materially and adversely affect our profitability and the price of our Common Shares. The Hummingbird acquisition represents a significant opportunity for our business. However, the size of the acquisition and the inevitable integration challenges that will result from the acquisition may divert management’s attention from the normal daily operations of our existing businesses, products and services. We cannot ensure that we will be successful in retaining key Hummingbird employees and our operations may be disrupted if we fail to adequately retain and motivate all of the employees of the newly merged entity.

Our success depends on our relationships with strategic partners

We rely on close cooperation with partners for sales and product development optimization, and sales.as well as to optimize opportunities which arise in our competitive environment. If any of our partners should decide for any reason to terminate or scale back their cooperative efforts with us, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

If we do not continue to develop new technologically advanced products, future revenues will be negatively affected

Our success depends upon our ability to design, develop, test, market, license and support new software products and enhancements of current products on a timely basis in response to both competitive products and evolving demands of the marketplace. In addition, new software products and enhancements must remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. We continue to enhance the capability of our Livelink software to enable users to form workgroups and collaborate on private intranets andas well as on the Internet. We increasinglyOften, we must integrate software licensed or acquired from third parties with our own software to create or improve our products. These products are important to the success of our strategy, and if we are unable to achieve a successful integration with third party software, we may not be successful in developing and marketing these and otherour new software products and enhancements. If we are unable to successfully integrate the technologies licensed or acquired from third parties, to develop new software products and enhancements to existing products, or to complete products currently under development, orour operating results will materially suffer. In addition, if such the

integrated or new products or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our operating results will materially suffer. In addition,Also, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our software products could be rendered obsolete and our business, as well as our ability to compete in the marketplace, would be materially harmed.

If our products and services do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to increase our revenues

We intend to pursue our strategy of growing the capabilities of our ECM software offerings through the in-houseour proprietary research and development of new product offerings. WeIn response to customer requests, we continue to enhance Livelink and many of our optional components toand we continue to set the standard for ECM capabilities, in response to customer requests.capabilities. The primary market for our software and services is rapidly evolving. As is typicalSince we operate in the case of a rapidly evolving industry, demand for and marketthe level of acceptance of products and services that have been released recently or that are planned for future release are subject to a high level of uncertainty.by the marketplace is not certain. If the markets for our products and services fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become saturated with competitors,subject to intense competition, our business will suffer. WeAs a result, we may be unable toto: (i) successfully market our current products and services, (ii) develop new software products, services and enhancements to current products and services, (iii) complete customer installations on a timely basis, or (iv) complete products and services currently under development. If our products and services are not accepted by our customers or enhancements do not achieve and sustain market acceptance,by other businesses in the marketplace, our business and operating results will be materially harmed.affected.

Current and future competitors could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits

The markets for our products are intensely competitive, and are subject to rapid technological change and are evolving rapidly.other pressures created by changes in our industry. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the future as the markets for our products continue to developpace of technological change and adaptation quickens and as additional companies enter each of our markets. Numerous releases of competitive products that compete with us are continually occurringhave occurred in recent history and can be expected to continue in the near future. We may not be able to compete effectively with current competitors and future competitors.potential entrants into our marketplace. If competitorsother businesses were to engage in aggressive pricing policies with respect to competing products, or if marketplace dictated the development of significant price competition, was to otherwise develop, we would likely be forcedneed to lower our prices. This could result in lower revenues or reduced margins, losseither of which may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We are confronting two inexorable trends in our industry; the consolidation of our competitors and the commoditization of our products and services

The acquisition of Documentum Inc. by EMC Corporation (“EMC”) in December 2003 and International Business Machine (“IBM”) Corporation’s acquisition of FileNet Corporation in October 2006 have changed the marketplace for our goods and services. As a result of these acquisitions, two comparable competitors to our company have been replaced by larger and better capitalized companies. In addition, other large corporations with considerable financial resources either have products that compete with the products we offer, or have the ability to encroach on our competitive position within our marketplace. These large, well-capitalized companies have the financial resources to engage in competition with our products and services on the basis of marketing, services or support. They also have the ability to introduce items that compete with our maturing products and services. For example, Microsoft has launched SharePoint, a product which provides the same benefits that some of our ECM products provide at a lower cost to the customer. The threat posed by larger competitors and the goods and services that these companies can produce at a lower cost to our target customers may materially increase our expenses and reduce our revenues. Any material adverse effect on our revenue or losscost structure may materially reduce the price of market share for us.our common shares.

Acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and other business initiatives may negatively affect our operating results

We continue to seek out opportunities to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that expand, complement or are otherwise related to our current business. We also consider from time to time, opportunities to engage in joint ventures or other business collaborations with third parties to address particular market segments. These activities create risks such as the need to integrate and manage the businesses and products acquired with our own business and products, additional demands on our management, resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of our ongoing business, and diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Moreover, these transactions could involve substantial investment of funds and/or technology transfers and the acquisition or disposition of product lines or businesses. Also, such activities could result in one-time charges and expenses and have the potential to either dilute the interests of existing shareholders or result in the assumption of debt. Such acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other business collaborations may involve significant commitments of financial and other resources of our company. Any such activity may not be successful in generating revenue, income or other returns to us, and the financial or other resources committed to such activities will not be available to us for other purposes. Our inability to address these risks could negatively affect our operating results.

Businesses we acquire may have disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting that are weaker than or otherwise not in conformity with ours

We have a history of acquiring complementary businesses with varying levels of organizational size and complexity. Upon consummating an acquisition, we seek to implement our disclosure controls and procedures andas well as our internal controls over financial reporting at the acquired company as promptly as possible. Depending upon the size and complexity of the business acquired, the implementation of our disclosure controls and procedures andas well as the implementation of our internal controls over financial reporting at an acquired company may be a lengthy process. Typically, we conduct due diligence prior to consummating an acquisition, however, our integration efforts may periodically expose deficiencies in the disclosure controls and procedures andas well as in internal controls over financial reporting of an acquired company. We expect that the process involved in completing the integration of our own disclosure controls and procedures andas well as our own internal controls over financial reporting at an acquired business will sufficiently correct any identified deficiencies. However, if such deficiencies exist, we may not be in a position to comply with our periodic reporting requirements and, as a result, our business and financial condition may be materially harmed.

The length of our sales cycle can fluctuate significantly which could result in significant fluctuations in license revenue being recognized from quarter to quarter

Because theThe decision by a customer to purchase our products often involves relatively large-scalea comprehensive implementation process across our customer’s network or networks,networks. As a result, licenses of these products may entail a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers, accompanied by the attendant risks and delays frequently associated with significant expenditures and lengthy sales cycle and implementation procedures. Given the significant investment and commitment of resources required by an organization in order to implement our software, our sales cycle tendscan tend to take considerable time to complete.be longer than generally expected. Over the past fiscal year, we have experienced a lengthening of our sales cycle as customers include more personnel in the decision-making processtheir decisions and focus on more enterprise-wide licensing deals. In an economic environment of reduced information technology spending, it can take several months, or even several quarters, for salesselling opportunities to translate into revenue.materialize. If a customer’s decision to license our software is delayed andor if the installation of our products in one or more customers takes longer than originally anticipated, the date on which we may recognize revenue from these licenses could be recognized would be delayed. Such delays could cause our revenues to be lower than expected in a particular period.

Our international operations expose us to business risks that could cause our operating results to suffer

We intend to continue to make efforts to increase our international operations and anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenue. We have increased our presence in the European market, especially since our acquisition of IXOS.IXOS Software AG (“IXOS”). These international operations are subject to certain risks and costs, including the difficulty and expense of administering business and compliance abroad, compliance with both domestic and foreign laws, compliance with domestic and international import and export laws and regulations, costs related to localizing products for foreign markets, and costs related to translating and distributing products in a timely manner. International operations also tend to expose usbe subject to a longer sales and collection cycle, as well as potential losses arising from currency fluctuations, andcycle. In addition, regulatory limitations regarding the repatriation of earnings.earnings may adversely affect cash drawls from foreign operations. Significant international sales may also expose us to greater risk from political and economic instability, unexpected changes in Canadian, United States or other governmental policies concerning import and export of goods and technology, regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers. In addition, international earnings may be subject to taxation by more than one jurisdiction, which could also materially adversely affect our effective tax rate. Also, international expansion may be more difficult, time consuming, and costly. As a result, if

revenues from international operations do not offset the expenses of establishing and maintaining foreign operations, our operating results will suffer. Moreover, in any given quarter, foreign exchange rates can impact revenue adversely.

Our expenses may not match anticipated revenues

We incur operating expenses based upon anticipated revenue trends. Since a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in recognizing revenue from license transactions could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and, as a result this delay could result inmaterially reduce operating losses.income. If these expenses are not subsequently followed by revenues, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in July 2005, we announced our 2006 restructuring initiative to restructure our operations with the intention of streamlining our operations. Subsequently, in October 2006 we announced our commitment to a separate restructuring initiative in the aftermath of our acquisition of Hummingbird. We will continue to evaluate our operations, and may propose future restructuring actions as a result of changes in the marketplace, including the exit from less profitable operations or the decision to terminate services no longer demandedwhich are not valued by our customers. Any failure to successfully execute these initiatives including any delay in effecting these initiatives,on a timely basis may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Our products may contain defects that could harm our reputation, be costly to correct, delay revenues, and expose us to litigation

Our products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, may contain design defects or software errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors may be found in new software products or improvements to existing products after commencement of commercial shipments and, ifto our customers. If these defects are discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct such errors in a timely manner, or at all.manner. In addition, despite the extensive tests we carry outconduct on all our products, we may not be able to fully simulate the environment in which our products will operate and, as a result, we may be unable to adequately detect the design defects or software errors inherent in our products and which onlymay become apparent whenonly after the products are installed in an end-user’s network. The occurrence of errors and failures in our products could result in lossthe delay or the denial of or delay in market acceptance of our products, andproducts; alleviating such errors and failures in our products couldmay require us to make significant expenditure of capital and otherour resources. The harm to our reputation resulting from product errors and failures wouldmay be materially damaging. WeSince, we regularly provide a warranty with our products, and the financial impact of thesefulfilling warranty obligations may be significant in the future. Our agreements with our strategic partners and end-users typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to claims,claims. These agreements usually contain terms such as exclusionsthe exclusion of all implied warranties and limitations onthe limitation of the availability of consequential or incidental damages. However, such provisions may not effectively protect us against claims and relatedthe attendant liabilities and costs.costs associated with

such claims. Although we maintain errors and omissions insurance coverage and comprehensive liability insurance coverage, such coverage may not be adequate andto cover all claims may not be covered.such claims. Accordingly, any such claim could negatively affect our financial condition.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete effectively

We are highly dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. Although we hold certain patents and have other patents pending, our general strategy is to not seek patent protection. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will, in all cases, be successful. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights may be difficult, particularly in some nations outside of North America in which we seek to market our products. While U.S. and Canadian copyright laws, international conventions and international treaties may provide meaningful protection against unauthorized duplication of software, the laws of some foreign jurisdictions may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of Canada or of the United States. Software piracy has been, and is expected to be, a persistent problem for the software industry. Certain of our license arrangements have required us to make a limited confidential disclosure of portions of the source code for our products, or to place such source code into an escrow for the protection of another party. Despite the precautions we have taken, unauthorized third parties, including our competitors, may be able to copy certain portions of our products or to reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Also, our competitors could independently develop technologies that are perceived to be substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. Our competitive position may be affected by our ability to protect our intellectual property.

Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, which could result in significantmaterially increase costs to defend and if we are not successful it could have a significant impact onmaterially harm our ability to generate future revenue and profits

Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and as related legal protections, including patents, are applied to software products. Although we do not believe that our products infringe on the rights of third-parties, third-parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Although most of our technology is proprietary in nature, we do include certain third party software in our products. In these cases, this software is licensed from the entity holding our intellectual property rights. Although we believe that we have secured proper licenses for all third-party software that has been integrated into our products, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future, and any such assertionsassertion may result in costly litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third-parties. Such licenses may not be available, or they may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.terms. In particular, as software patents become more prevalent, it is possible that certain parties will claim that our products violate their patents. Such claimsaddition, such litigation could be disruptive to our ability to generate revenue and may result in significantly increased costs as wea result of our defense against those claims or our attempt to license the patents or rework our products to ensure that they are not in violation of the claimant’s patents or dispute the claims.comply with judicial decisions. Any of the foregoing could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenue and profits.

The loss of licenses to use third party software or the lack of support or enhancement of such software could adversely affect our business

We currently depend on certain third-party software. If such software the lack of availability of which could result inwas not available, we may experience delays or increased costs in the development of or delays in, licenses offor our products. For a limited number of product modules, we rely on certain software that we license from third-parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and which is used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, and the related software may not continue to be appropriately supported, maintained, or enhanced by the licensors. The loss by us of the license to use, or the inability ofby licensors to support, maintain, and enhance any of such software, could result in increased costs or in delays or reductions in product shipments until equivalent software is developed or licensed if at all, and integrated with internally developed software, andsoftware. Such increased costs or delays or reductions in product shipments could adversely affect our business.

A reduction in the number or sales efforts by distributors could materially impact our revenues

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the license of our products through third parties. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to maintain access to existing channels of distribution and to gain access to new channels if

and when they develop. We may not be able to retain a sufficient number of our existing distributors or develop a sufficient number of future distributors. Distributors may also give higher priority to the sale of products other than ours (which could include products of competitors)competitors’ products) or may not devote sufficient resources to marketing our products. The performance of third party distributors is largely outside of our control and we are unable to predict the extent to which these distributors will be successful in marketing and licensing our products. A reduction in sales efforts, a decline in the number of distributors, or our distributors’ decision to discontinue the discontinuance of salessale of our products by our distributors could lead to reducedmaterially reduce revenue.

We must continue to manage our growth or our operating results could be adversely affected

Over the past several years, we have experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and product distribution channels. In addition, ourOur markets have continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Moreover, we have grown significantly through acquisitions in the past and continue to review acquisition opportunities as a means of increasing the size and scope of our business. Finally, we have been subject to increased regulation, including various NASDAQ rules and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes”), which has necessitated a significant use of our resources to comply with the increased level of regulation on a timely basis. Our growth, coupled with the rapid evolution of our markets and the new heightened regulations, have placed, and are likely towill continue to place, significant strains on our administrative and operational resources and increased demands on our internal systems, procedures and controls. Our administrative infrastructure, systems, procedures and controls may not adequately support our operations or compliance with such regulations, andregulations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve the rapid, effective execution of the product and business initiatives necessary to successfully penetrate the markets forimplement our productsoperational and servicescompetitive strategy and to successfully integrate any business acquisitions in the future to comply with all regulatory rules. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, or comply with such new regulations, our operating results will likely suffer and wesuffer. Our inability to manage growth or adapt to regulatory changes may not be in a position to complyalso adversely affect our compliance with our periodic reporting requirements or listing standards, which could result in our delisting from the NASDAQ stock market.

Recently enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and related regulations could result in increased costs to us

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of Sarbanes and recent rules enactedproposed and proposedenacted by the SEC and NASDAQ, have resulted in increased costs to us as we respond to the new requirements.these changes. In particular, complying with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes is resultinghas resulted in increaseda higher level of internal costs and higher fees from our independent accounting firm and as well as from external consultants. The newThese rules could also could make it more difficult for usadversely affect our ability to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, andinsurance. As a result, we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage and/or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, on committees of our Board of Directors, or as executive officers.

Our products rely on the stability of various infrastructure software that, if not stable, could negatively impact the effectiveness of our products, resulting in harm to our reputation and business

Our developments of Internet and Intranet applications depend and will depend on the stability, functionality and scalability of the infrastructure software of the underlying intranet, such as that of Sun Microsystems Inc., Hewlett Packard Company, Oracle Corp., Microsoft Inc. and others. If weaknesses in such infrastructure software exist, we may not be able to correct or compensate for such weaknesses. If we are unable to address weaknesses resulting from problems in the infrastructure software such that our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, our business and reputation may be significantly harmed.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate which could materially impact the price of our Common Shares

We experience, and we are likely to continue to experience, significant fluctuations in quarterly revenues and operating results caused by many factors, including changes in the demand for our products, the introduction or enhancement of products by us and our competitors, market acceptance of enhancements or products, delays in the introduction of products or enhancements by us or our competitors, customer order deferrals in anticipation of upgrades and new products, lengthening sales cycles, changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors, delays involved in installing products with customers, the mix of distribution channels through which products are licensed, the mix of products and services sold, the timing of restructuring charges taken in connection with acquisitions completed by us, the mix of international and North American revenues, foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and general economic conditions.

A cancellation or deferral of even a small number of licenses or delays in installations of our products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular quarter. Because of the impact of the timing of product introductions and the rapid evolution of our business and the markets we serve, we cannot predict whether seasonal patterns experienced in the past will continue. For these reasons, reliance should not be placed upon period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast future performance. It is likely that our quarterly revenue and operating results could always vary significantly and if such variances are significant, the market price of our Common Shares could materially decline.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete effectively

We are highly dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be successful. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. Although we hold certain patents and have other patents pending, we generally have not sought patent protection for our products. While U.S. and Canadian copyright laws, international conventions and international treaties may provide meaningful protection against unauthorized duplication of software, the laws of some foreign jurisdictions may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of Canada or the United States. Software piracy has been, and can be expected to be, a persistent problem for the software industry. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights may be difficult, particularly in some nations outside of the United States and Canada in which we seek to market our products. Despite the precautions we take, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties, including competitors, to copy certain portions of our products or to “reverse engineer” or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.

If we are not able to attract and retain top employees, our ability to compete may be harmed

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could significantly harm our business. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. Our success is also highly dependent on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train, retain and motivate highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel. Specifically,In particular, the recruitment of top research developers along withand experienced salespeople, remains critical to our success. Competition for such personnelpeople is intense, and we may not be able to attract, integrate or retain highly qualified technical, andsales or managerial personnel in the future.

Our products rely on the stability of infrastructure software that, if not stable, could negatively impact the effectiveness of our products, resulting in harm to our reputation and business

Our developments of Internet and intranet applications depend and will depend on the stability, functionality and scalability of the infrastructure software of the underlying intranet, such as that of Sun Microsystems, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corporation and others. If weaknesses in such infrastructure software exist, we may not be able to correct or compensate for such weaknesses. If we are unable to address weaknesses resulting from problems in the infrastructure software such that our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, our business and reputation may be significantly harmed.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate which could materially impact the price of our Common Shares

We experience, and we are likely to continue to experience, significant fluctuations in quarterly revenues and operating results caused by many factors, including:

changes in the demand for our products;

the introduction or enhancement of products by us and our competitors;

market acceptance of enhancements or products;

delays in the introduction of products or enhancements by us or our competitors;

customer order deferrals in anticipation of upgrades and new products;

lengthening sales cycles;

changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

delays involved in installing products with customers;

the mix of distribution channels through which products are licensed;

the mix of products and services sold;

the timing of restructuring charges taken in connection with acquisitions completed by us;

the mix of international and North American revenues;

foreign currency exchange rates;

Acquisitions; and

general economic conditions

A cancellation or deferral of even a small number of licenses or delays in the installation of our products could have a material adverse effect on our operations in any particular quarter. Because of the impact of the timing of product introductions and the rapid evolution of our business as well as of the markets we serve, we cannot predict whether seasonal patterns experienced in the past will continue. For these reasons, reliance should not be placed upon period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast future performance. It is likely that our quarterly revenue and operating results may vary significantly and which could materially reduce the market price of our Common Shares.

The volatility of our stock price could lead to losses by shareholders

The market price of our Common Shares has been volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations in market price may continue in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by us orthat are relevant to our competitors,industry, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or other events or factors. In addition, financial markets experience significant price and volume fluctuations that

particularly affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies and thesecompanies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies or have resulted from the failure of the operating results of such companies to meet market expectations in a particular quarter.quarter and thus may or may not be related to the underlying operating performance of such companies. Broad market fluctuations or any failure of our operating results in a particular quarter to meet market expectations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares, resulting in losses to shareholders. In the past, followingShares. Sometimes, periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, may lead to the institution of securities class action litigation have often been instituted against such a company. Due to the volatility of our stock price, we could be the target of similarsuch securities litigation in the future. Such litigation could result in substantial costs to defend our interests and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities

We are subject to income taxes and non-incomeas well as other taxes in a variety of jurisdictions and our tax structure is subject to review by both domestic and foreign taxation authorities. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and

other tax liabilities requires significant judgment. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome with respect to the taxes we owe may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial statements andwhich may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made.
