Notes to the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
1. Unaudited Interim Financial Information
      The accompanying combined consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2006, the combined consolidated statements of operations, statements of cash flows and statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the three months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The combined consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2005 was derived from the audited combined consolidated financial statements at that date, but, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended February 28, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-132970).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
      The combined consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States (US) dollars.
      The Company purchased Cayman Ltd. Holdco (“WinZip”) from affiliates of Vector Capital contemporaneously with the completion of its public offering on May 2, 2006. Vector Capital (“Vector Capital”) is a venture capital company based in California, and is the Company’s largest shareholder. WinZip is a provider of compression utility software. Prior to this transaction, the Company and WinZip were under common control. Because of this common control, and the Company agreeing to acquire WinZip in February 2006, the Company combined its financial statements with WinZip’s effective January 18, 2005 (the date Vector Capital purchased WinZip). On January 18, 2005, push-down accounting was applied by WinZip and consequently WinZip revalued its balance sheet to reflect the fair value of its assets and liabilities with a corresponding increase to goodwill.
      The combined consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect the financial position of the Company and WinZip at February 28, 2006 and November 30, 2005. The combined consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2006 include the results of WinZip for the full quarter, and the February 28, 2005 results of operations include the results of WinZip from January 18, 2005 to February 28, 2005.
      On March 31, 2006, the Company effected a 1.0 for 11.7 reverse split of its share capital. Accordingly, the share, per share, and share option data appearing in the combined consolidated financial statements and notes has been adjusted for all periods to reflect the impact of the reverse split.
3. Inventory
      The components of inventory for the periods presented are as follows:
                 
    February 28,   November 30,
    2006   2005

4. Acquisitions
WinZip combination
      On May 2, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding securities of WinZip, a provider of compression utility software, from Vector Capital, which originally purchased WinZip on January 18, 2005. The Company acquired WinZip to complement its productivity software. Prior to the acquisition, the Company and WinZip were under common control. Because of this common control, and the Company agreeing to acquire WinZip in February 2006, the Company has presented combined financial statements which include the results of WinZip from and after January 18, 2005, in accordance with SFAS 141. The purchase cost for the acquisition was 4,322,587 common shares of the Company. In addition, the Company repaid all of the outstanding bank debt of WinZip. The Company has also granted options to purchase 74,680 common shares under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan in replacement for outstanding WinZip options.
      The acquisition agreement provides for a reciprocal indemnity for breach of covenants, representations and warranties, generally for a one year period. A portion of the purchase price, amounting to 93,929 Corel common shares issued to Vector Capital, may not be transferred by Vector Capital for a period of one year so that they will be available to satisfy Vector Capital’s indemnification obligations to the Company.
      At the time Vector Capital purchased WinZip, push-down accounting was applied and consequently the WinZip assets and liabilities were revalued to reflect their fair value with a corresponding $3,993 increase to goodwill. The Company has recognized the assets and liabilities of WinZip at their carrying amounts immediately after the application of push-down accounting. The acquired technologies and other intangible assets are being amortized as cost of revenues over their estimated useful lives of two to seven years. There was no acquired in process research and development (“IPR&D”) associated with this combination.
      The aggregate purchase cost paid by Vector Capital for WinZip was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and is summarized as follows:
         
Current assets
  $ 2,497  
Capital assets
    183  
Tradename
    21,772  
Acquired technologies
    5,704  
Non-competition agreements
    150  
Customer relationships
    348  
Current liabilities
    (858 )
       
Net assets acquired
    29,796  
Total Vector Capital purchase cost
    33,789  
       
Goodwill on WinZip acquisition at November 30, 2005
  $ 3,993  
       
      To determine the fair value of intangible assets, WinZip engaged a valuation firm. The tradename was valued using an income approach, specifically the present value of the operating cash flows generated by the tradename. The acquired technologies were valued using a relief from royalty method. The customer relationships were also valued using an income approach, specifically the present value of the operating cash flows generated by customer relationships. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
      The pro forma loss per share appearing on the face of the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2006 reflects the issuance of the common shares resulting from the combination of WinZip,

5. Income Taxes
      During the three months ended February 28, 2006 the Company recorded a tax provision of $3.2 million on income before income tax expense of $1.5 million. The $3.2 million of taxes consist of $816 of deferred taxes and $2.3 million of current taxes. Deferred taxes consist of the tax benefits realized in Canada from the use of tax carry forwards, existing prior to Corel’s acquisition by Vector Capital, in post-acquisition periods, plus deferred taxes of $435 related to WinZip operations in the quarter.
      Current taxes consist of foreign withholding taxes plus taxes incurred by Corel’s foreign subsidiaries, including $2.0 million relating to WinZip operations.
      During the three months ended February 28, 2005, the Company recorded a tax provision of $180 on a loss before income tax expense of $2.3 million. The $180 of taxes includes $427 of deferred taxes relating to the tax benefits realized in Canada from the use of tax carry forwards, existing prior to Corel’s acquisition by Vector Capital, in post-acquisition periods, less a deferred tax recovery of $133 related to WinZip operations in the quarter.
      The balance of the $180 provision consists of current taxes of $(115), primarily foreign withholding taxes plus taxes incurred by Corel’s foreign subsidiaries.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
      The Company currently, and from time to time, is involved in certain legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business, including assertions that we may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others. The Company believes that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (either alone or combined) will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations. The Company also believes that, if necessary, it would be able to obtain any required licenses or other rights to disputed intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms. However, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and, regardless

Notes to the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the business because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company’s failure to obtain any necessary license or other rights on commercially reasonable terms, or otherwise, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims could materially adversely affect the business.
      At February 28, 2006, the Company was a defendant in an ongoing patent infringement proceeding described below:
        Electronics For Imaging, Inc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology v. Corel Corporation et al. Plaintiffs filed this patent infringement action on December 28, 2001 against the Company and 213 other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of U.S. patent 4,500,919. The patent expired on May 6, 2002. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants infringed the patent through the use of various color management and correction systems in their products. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and attorneys fees. Various motions including motions for summary judgment by both the plaintiffs and defendants, including the Company, were filed during the discovery phase of the proceeding. In July 2004, the court dismissed each summary judgment motion upon which the Company and the plaintiffs had joined issue. Following the decision on the summary judgment motions, the plaintiffs dismissed all claims against every remaining defendant except the Company, Microsoft and Roxio. The plaintiffs then stipulated to non-infringement in respect of the Company, Microsoft and Roxio and the action was dismissed in November 2004. In December 2004, the plaintiffs filed an appeal of various interlocutory rulings by the trial court including certain of the summary judgment decisions. The remaining defendants, including the Company, have filed opposition to the appeals. The Company has cross-appealed on the trial court’s dismissal of its request to have the action dismissed on summary judgment. Oral argument on the appeal was held on December 7, 2005. No decision on the appeal has been rendered to date. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. However, the ultimate outcome of the litigation is uncertain.
7. Shareholders’ Equity
WinZip Common
      The Company’s financial statements are presented on a combined basis with WinZip. WinZip’s equity at February 28, 2006 and November 30, 2005 consisted of 50,000 voting shares authorized, with a par value of $1.00 per share, of which 20,000 shares were issued and outstanding.
Corel Common
      On December 1, 2005, Corel reorganized its share capital by way of amalgamation with a wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the outstanding preferred shares, Class A common shares and Class B common shares of the Company were converted into common shares in accordance with their respective percentage equity interests in Corel prior to the recapitalization.
      After completion of the equity recapitalization, the authorized share capital of Corel consists of an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, none of which series have been authorized and an unlimited number of common shares. As of February 28, 2006, there are 15,166,595 common shares and no preferred shares outstanding.
Dividends and paid-up capital reductions
      During the quarter ended February 28, 2005, Corel paid a cash dividend of $2,135 to certain holders of Class B shares and returned paid-up capital of $83,113 to its preferred and common shareholders. Also during

fiscal 2005, WinZip paid a cash dividend of $12,000 to its shareholders. In March 2006, WinZip paid a cash dividend of $7,500 to its shareholder, Vector Capital.
2003 Share Option and Phantom Share Unit Plan
      In fiscal 2005, performance awards in respect of 149,827 Class A common shares were issued to senior executives under the Stock Option and Phantom Share Unit Plan (“the 2003 Plan”), which entitles them to receive Units (a stock option together with a Phantom Share Unit) upon attaining identified performance goals. Vesting conditions are based solely on the satisfaction of performance conditions. These awards are accounted for as equity grants with reversal of recognized compensation cost if the award fails to vest. Up to the quarter ended February 28, 2006, the Company has recognized cumulative expenses of $921 for these performance awards.
      The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statement of operations:

      There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at February 28, 2006 and November 30, 2005.
      Corel estimates the fair value of its Units for financial accounting purposes using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, future volatility of the price of the Company’s common shares and substantive vesting period. Changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Prior to this offering, there has been no active market for the Company’s common shares. Thus, it was not possible to estimate expected volatility of the Company’s share price in estimating fair value of Units granted. Accordingly, as a substitute for such volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of the U.S. Dow Jones Software and Computer Services Index, representing the primary industry in which the Company operates.
      The fair value, estimated using the Black-Scholes model, of all Units granted under the 2003 Plan and options granted under the 2005 WinZip Plan, during the quarter ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, was estimated as of the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:
                 
    February 28,   February 28,
    2006   2005
         
Expected option life (years)

2006 Equity Incentive Plan
      A new equity incentive plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in February 2006 (“2006 Equity Incentive Plan”). This plan provides for the grant of options to employees and employees of the Company’s subsidiaries, and restricted shares, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, performance share units, deferred share units, phantom shares and other share-based awards to the Company’s employees, consultants and directors, and employees, consultants and directors of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates. Corel has 2,850,000 common shares authorized for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. There were no options granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan during the three months ended February 28, 2006.
WinZip’s Stock Option Plan
      In October 2005, WinZip established the 2005 Class B Option Plan (“2005 WinZip Plan”). There are 3,000,000 Class B common shares of WinZip LLC, reserved for issuance under the 2005 WinZip Plan to provide incentive to employees, directors and consultants. As of February 28, 2006, there were options to purchase 855,000 of WinZip’s common shares issued under this plan. Upon the closing of the WinZip acquisition, options to purchase 855,000 shares of WinZip outstanding under the 2005 WinZip Plan were replaced with options to purchase 74,680 of the Company’s common shares under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

8. Restructuring Charges
      For the quarter ended February 28, 2005, Corel integrated Jasc’s operations, and eliminated redundant positions across all functions in both organizations, resulting in a $540 charge to operating results for severance and related costs.
      In the first quarter of 2006, the Company initiated a realignment of its sales and marketing team after completing an internal review of its overall future requirements. The only costs associated with this realignment are one-time termination benefits relating to various sales and marketing employees.
      The following table summarizes the amount of restructuring recognized by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2006:
         
One-time termination benefits charged to expense
  $ 560  
Costs paid or otherwise settled
    (73 )
       
Closing liability — termination benefits
  $ 487  
       
      All of the costs incurred have been included within restructuring expenses on the statement of operations.
9. Earnings (loss) Per Share
      The Company used the ’two class’ method to compute net income (loss) per share for the quarter ended February 28, 2005 because there was more than one class of shares outstanding. For the quarter ended February 28, 2006, basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share was computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are comprised of common shares issuable upon the exercise of Units.
      Under the two class method, basic net income (loss) per share is computed for each class of common shares by adding the distributed earnings and the undistributed earnings (loss) for the period, to the extent the class may share in the earnings (loss), and then dividing the total by the adjusted weighted average number of shares in the class to which the earnings are allocated.

11. Subsequent Events
      On April 25, 2006, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with a group of underwriters under the terms of which the Company agreed to the sale of 5,000,000 Common Shares from treasury and granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 Common Shares from the Company within a 30-day period to cover over-allotments (“Public Offering”). The Public Offering closed on May 2, 2006. The net proceeds from the Public Offering were primarily used to repay existing debt and the remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions.
      At the closing of the Public Offering, Corel entered into a $165.0 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $90.0 million term loan with a six-year maturity and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility with a five-year term. The term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at floating rates tied to either the Alternate Base Rate (which equals the higher of (i) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and (ii) the prime rate) or the Adjusted LIBOR. The net proceeds from the term loan were used to repay existing indebtedness of Corel and WinZip and the remaining proceeds along with the currently undrawn revolving credit facility, will be available for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
      Certain statements discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this filing constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities laws. Such forward-looking statements concerning management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include competitive threats from well established software companies that have significantly greater market share and resources than us, new entrants that benefit from industry trends, such as the increasing importance of Internet distribution and open source software, and from online services companies that are increasingly seeking to provide software products at little or no incremental cost to their customers to expand their Internet presence and build consumer loyalty. In addition, our core products have been marketed for many years and the packaged software market in North America and Europe is relatively mature and characterized by modest growth. Accordingly, we must successfully complete acquisitions, penetrate new markets or increase penetration of our installed base to achieve revenue growth. The following should be carefully considered:
  •  except for the last two fiscal years, we have experienced declines in our revenues since the mid-1990s and have experienced net losses in all but two fiscal years from 1996 to 2005, and had a net working capital deficit at February 28, 2006;
 
  •  we face competition from companies with significant competitive advantages, such as Microsoft, which has in excess of 97% of the North American Market for productivity software, and Adobe, which has in excess of 70% of the global packaged graphics and digital imaging software market;
 
  •  as an increasing number of companies with advertising or subscriber-fee business models seek to offer competitive software products over the Internet at little or no cost to consumers, it may become more challenging for us to maintain our historical pricing policies and operating margins;
 
  •  the proliferation of open source software and open standards may make us more vulnerable to competition because new market entrants and existing competitors could introduce similar products quickly and cheaply;
 
  •  our relationships with Ingram Micro and Dell, which accounted for a significant percentage of our first quarter 2006 revenues, can be terminated at any time;
 
  •  the manner in which packaged software is distributed is changing rapidly, which presents challenges to established software companies such as us and presents opportunities for potential competitors; and
 
  •  our future growth is largely dependant on the execution of our acquisition strategy, which may fail for various reasons including our inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions on acceptable terms or effectively integrate acquired businesses.
      These risks, uncertainties and other important factors are described in our Prospectus dated April 25, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act of 1933. A copy of the Prospectus can be obtained on our website, or at www.sec.gov. Such risks are also described in our Canadian supplemented PREP prospectus dated April 26, 2006, or at www.sedar.com. The words “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “believe”, “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based.

Three months ended February 28, 2006 (combined) as compared to three months ended February 28, 2005 (combined from January 18, 2005)
      On May 2, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding securities of WinZip from Vector Capital. The comparative financial information presented below for the three months ended February 28, 2005 is presented on a combined basis to include the financial information of WinZip from January 18, 2005 to February 28, 2005, which reflects the period during the first fiscal quarter of 2005 that WinZip and we were under common control by Vector Capital. The comparative financial information presented below for the three months ended February 28, 2006 is presented on a combined basis to include the financial information of WinZip for the entire fiscal quarter. Accordingly, because the consolidated financial information for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 presented below only includes financial information of WinZip for 42 days of that quarter, it is not directly comparable to the consolidated financial information presented for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Revenues
      Product revenues increased by 9.5% to $39.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $36.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. There was a $5.3 million increase in revenues generated from WinZip due to more aggressive marketing, a new version release, the implementation of a maintenance offering, and as a result of WinZip revenues being combined for the entire first quarter of fiscal 2006. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we only combined 42 days of WinZip’s revenues. In addition, CorelDRAW, Painter, iGrafx and Designer revenues increased while there were declines in revenues from WordPerfect Office and Paint Shop Pro that were primarily driven by product release cycles and lower revenue from our OEM channels.

      Maintenance and services revenues increased by 22.6% to $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $3.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily due to the $982,000 contribution of WinZip maintenance and services revenues in connection with a maintenance offering implemented in the latter half of fiscal 2005.

      Our products generally have release cycles of between 12 and 24 months and we typically earn the largest portion of revenues for a particular product during the first half of its release cycle. In the past we have experienced declines in product revenues during the second half of product release cycles, with the sharpest declines occurring toward the end of the release cycle. The fiscal quarter of the most recent and prior release of each of our major products is set forth below:

      Productivity revenues increased by 31.9% to $19.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $15.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. WinZip’s revenue increased by $6.3 million and is attributable to increased license sales resulting from more aggressive marketing, a new version release, the implementation of a maintenance offering, and as a result of WinZip revenues being combined for the entire first quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase was partially offset by a decline in WordPerfect Office revenue due primarily to lower revenues from our OEM channels. WordPerfect Office X3 was launched late in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and hence did not have a significant impact in the quarter.
      Graphics and digital imaging revenues decreased by 2.0% to $24.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $25.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. New releases of CorelDRAW and Painter were launched during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, resulting in increased graphics and digital imaging revenues. Revenues from our Paint Shop Pro products were lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 than the comparable 2005 quarter. We believe that much of the decrease resulted from the timing of version releases. Paint Shop Pro 10 and seven localized versions were released early in the fourth quarter of 2005, while Paint Shop Pro 9 was released later in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, with staggered releases of localized versions. This timing change resulted in significantly higher revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and comparatively lower revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We also believe, to a lesser extent, that Paint Shop Pro results were lower in the first quarter of 2006 due to the increased competition.

      Revenues in the Americas increased by $1.8 million, or 7.0%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $26.8 million from $25.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase was principally attributable to additional revenue from WinZip which resulted from more aggressive marketing, a new version release, the implementation of a maintenance offering and as a result of WinZip revenues being combined for the entire quarter. Additional revenue was generated from the release of new versions of CorelDRAW and Painter in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and revenue growth in Latin America as a result of increased sales and marketing resources. These increases were partially offset by a decline in revenue from our Paint Shop Pro and WordPerfect Office products.
      Revenues in EMEA increased by $1.8 million, or 14.1%, to $14.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $13.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in revenue was attributable to higher WinZip revenues for similar reasons as discussed above, and additional revenue resulting from the release of new versions of CorelDRAW and Painter in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. These increases were partially offset by a decline in revenues from WordPerfect Office, Paint Shop Pro and Designer which was largely due to their release cycles.
      Asia Pacific revenues increased by $700,000, or 37.7%, to $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase is primarily due to the release of new versions of certain graphics and digital imaging products in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, and the increased sales and marketing resources in Japan, China and India, which were added during fiscal 2005.
Cost of Revenues
      Cost of Product Revenues. Cost of product revenues increased by 6.3% to $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $4.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As a percentage of product revenues, cost of product revenues decreased to 12.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 13.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease as a percentage of product revenue resulted from the inclusion of WinZip for the full quarter in fiscal 2006, which has a relatively low cost of revenue compared to our other products, since a majority of WinZip’s products are delivered over the internet and involve relatively low overhead costs.
      Cost of Maintenance and Services Revenues. Cost of maintenance and services revenues decreased by 9.8% to $314,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $348,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As a percentage of maintenance and services revenues, cost of maintenance and services revenues decreased to 6.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 8.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This decrease as a percentage of maintenance and services revenues resulted from the inclusion of WinZip revenues for the full quarter in fiscal 2006, and the limited incremental costs to provide such revenue.
      Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased by 6.9% to $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 due primarily to the $528,000 of additional amortization expenses associated with the inclusion of WinZip results for the full quarter in fiscal 2006. We anticipate that amortization of intangible assets will decline during the remainder of fiscal 2006 because the intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition by Vector Capital are now fully amortized.

Operating Expenses
      Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 13.1% to $14.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $12.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, sales and marketing expenses increased to 32.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 32.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 over the same period last year is due to new version releases in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, including the releases of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 and WordPerfect Office X3.
      Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by 9.0% to $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses remained relatively consistent at 14.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 14.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The absolute dollar increase in expenses is a direct result of the development, testing and localization of new releases of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and WordPerfect Office associated with their launch during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, which resulted in $195,000 of additional expense. In addition, the inclusion of the full quarter of WinZip results in the fiscal 2006 period contributed $287,000 of additional research and development costs in the fiscal 2006 period.
      General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by 4.7% to $5.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 12.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from 14.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributed in part to higher employee-related costs and travel and entertainment costs totaling $630,000 in the first half of the fiscal 2005 period, prior to completion of our integration of Jasc, and the incurrence of $280,000 of acquisition-related expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 in connection with the combination with WinZip. These decreases were partially offset by a $557,000 increase in stock-based compensation costs in the fiscal 2006 quarter.
      Restructuring. Restructuring costs of $560,000 incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 represent severance costs relating to the realignment of the sales and marketing force in the Americas. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, restructuring costs of $540,000 represented employee terminations related to our acquisition and integration of Jasc.
Non-Operating (Income) Expense
      Interest (Income) Expense, Net. Net interest expense increased by 96.1% to $3.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to the refinancing of the credit facilities by both Corel and WinZip, and the inclusion of WinZip’s debt in our financial statements for the full quarter in fiscal 2006.
      Amortization of Deferred Financing Fees. Amortization of deferred financing fees increased to $444,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 from $300,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as a direct result of the renegotiated credit facilities by both Corel and WinZip. The deferred financing fees associated with our existing credit facilities have been amortized on the straight-line method over the respective terms of the loans. In connection with the replacement of the old credit facilities with our new credit facility concurrently with our recent initial public offering, we expect to write-off the balance of $6.8 million in deferred financing fees in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.
      Other Non-Operating Expense (Income). We had income of $120,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to other non-operating expense of $178,000 in the same quarter last year. Other non-operating expense (income) consisted primarily of foreign exchange gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses on forward exchange contracts. The gain reported in 2006 resulted from strengthening of foreign currencies, mainly the Euro and Japanese Yen.
      Income Tax Expense (Recovery). For the three months ended February 28, 2006, we recorded a tax provision of $3.2 million on income before income tax expense of $1.5 million compared to a tax provision of $180,000 on a loss before income tax expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2005.

Table of Contents

Current taxes, consisting of foreign withholding taxes plus taxes incurred by Corel’s foreign subsidiaries were $2.3 million, including $2.0 million relating to WinZip operations, and $(115,000) for the quarters ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
      Deferred tax charges of $381,000 for the quarter ended February 28, 2006 and $427,000 for the first quarter of 2005 related to the tax benefits realized in Canada from the use of tax carry forwards, existing prior to Corel’s acquisition by Vector Capital, in post-acquisition periods. At the end of February 2006, the balance of intangible assets recorded in connection with that acquisition was reduced to nil and, accordingly, future quarters will not include any deferred taxes related to benefits from the use of tax carry forwards existing prior to the acquisition. Deferred taxes also included a $435,000 expense and a deferred tax recovery of $133,000 in the first quarters ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to WinZip operations.
Adjusted EBITDA
      Adjusted EBITDA was $12.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $14.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 due to higher income from operations, excluding stock-based compensation. This increase is largely due to the inclusion of WinZip for the entire first quarter in fiscal 2006, whereas the first quarter of fiscal 2005 only included WinZip operations from January 18, 2005.

Table of Contents

      Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we use as a supplemental indicator of our operating performance and to assist in evaluation of our liquidity and is used by our bank lenders to calculate compliance with certain financial covenants. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with GAAP. We consider cash flow from operations to be the closest GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 we had cash flow from operations of $5.9 and $9.0 respectively. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to cash flow from operations:

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working Capital
      Current assets at February 28, 2006 were $36.4 million, a decrease of $9.3 from the November 30, 2005 year end balance of $45.7 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which went from $21.7 million at the end of the 2005 fiscal year, to $15.9 million at February 28, 2006 as a result of the annual principal repayment on our CFSB debt in February 2006. Furthermore, trade accounts receivable declined by $2.9 million, from $19.3 million at November 30, 2005 to $16.4 million at February 28, 2006.
      Current liabilities at February 28, 2006 were $58.1 million, a decrease of $11.9 million from the November 30, 2005 balance of $70.0 million. The decrease primarily resulted from the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities to $24.6 million at February 28, 2006 from $30.5 million due to payment of year end liabilities. In addition, the current portion of term loans payable decreased from $15.8 million at November 30, 2005 to $9.5 million at February 28, 2006 because the annual principal repayment on our credit facility was reflected in the fiscal 2005 year end balance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
      As of February 28, 2006, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $15.9 million, and trade accounts receivable of $16.4 million.

Table of Contents

      Cash provided by operations decreased to $5.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2006 compared to $9.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2005. The decrease is attributable to the incremental interest payments made during the first quarter of 2006, totaling $2.4 million, and because of the reduced cash flow resulting from net operating assets and liabilities
      Cash used in financing activities was $11.0 million for the first three months of 2006 compared to $24.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2005. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of repayment of $8.6 million of long-term debt and $1.8 million of financing fees. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we generated net proceeds from long-term debt of $59.2 million, which was offset by $85.2 million of distributions and dividends we paid to our shareholders.
      Cash used in investing activities was $430,000 in the first three months of 2006 compared to cash generated from investing activities of $9.9 million in the first three months of 2005. The primary difference between the two periods is that no short-term investments were disposed of in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, and $10.0 million of short-term investments were redeemed in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
      Market risk is the risk of a loss that could affect our financial position resulting from adverse changes in the financial markets. Our primary risks relate to increases in interest rates and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
      Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our long term debt, as we have minimal interest-bearing investments. Our interest rate exposure is primarily to increases in the LIBOR or prime lending rate, because our debt has a floating rate of interest. Our annual interest expense would change by $700,000 for each 0.5% change in interest rates, based on debt outstanding as of February 28, 2006.
      In connection with the CSFB facility, we purchased an interest rate cap to August 2007 on $40 million which reduces our interest rate exposure. We entered into a new credit facility upon the closing of our initial public offering and repaid the existing CSFB facility in full. We will review various options available to us in the coming fiscal year to determine if additional interest rate protection under our new facility is advisable to further limit our risk to increases in lending rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
      Most of our business is located in Canada. We incur a disproportionate percentage of costs in Canadian dollars as compared to Canadian dollar denominated revenues. We are therefore exposed to loss if the Canadian dollar appreciates against the U.S. dollar. We try to minimize the effect of changes in U.S./ Canadian dollar exchange rates on our business through the purchase of forward exchange contracts. As we also operate internationally, a portion of our business outside North America is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, the results of our business may also be affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against certain European currencies, in particular the pound sterling and euro.
      Our exposure to these and other currencies is minimized due to certain hedges naturally occurring in our business as we have decentralized sales, marketing and support operations in which most costs are local currency based.
      We cannot predict the impact of future foreign exchange variations on our business. However changes between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could generate foreign exchange losses that could have a material effect on our business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
      Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings
      We currently, and from time to time, are involved in certain legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business, including assertions that we may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (either alone or combined) will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations. We also believes that, if necessary, we would be able to obtain any required licenses or other rights to disputed intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms. However, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and, regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the business because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors. Our failure to obtain any necessary license or other rights on commercially reasonable terms, or otherwise, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims could materially adversely affect the business.
      At February 28, 2006, we were a defendant in an ongoing patent infringement proceeding described below:
      Electronics For Imaging, Inc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology v. Corel Corporation et al. Plaintiffs filed this patent infringement action on December 28, 2001 against us and 213 other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of U.S. patent 4,500,919. The patent expired on May 6, 2002. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants infringed the patent through the use of various color management and correction systems in their products. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and attorneys fees. Various motions including motions for summary judgment by both the plaintiffs and defendants, including the Company, were filed during the discovery phase of the proceeding. In July 2004, the court dismissed each summary judgment motion upon which we and the plaintiffs had joined issue. Following the decision on the summary judgment motions, the plaintiffs dismissed all claims against every remaining defendant except us, Microsoft and Roxio. The plaintiffs then stipulated to non-infringement in respect of the Company, Microsoft and Roxio and the action was dismissed in November 2004. In December 2004, the plaintiffs filed an appeal of various interlocutory rulings by the trial court including certain of the summary judgment decisions. The remaining defendants, including us, have filed opposition to the appeals. We have cross-appealed on the trial court’s dismissal of its request to have the action dismissed on summary judgment. Oral argument on the appeal was held on December 7, 2005. No decision on the appeal has been rendered to date. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. However, the ultimate outcome of the litigation is uncertain.
