Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

1. Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The interim financial information is unaudited and includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at February 28, 2009 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2008 was derived from the audited 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 US GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended February 28, 2009 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 Form 10-K for the period ending November 30, 2008 (File No. 000-20562).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States (US) dollars. The Company’s accounting polices are consistent with those presented in our annual consolidated financial statements as at November 30, 2008.

Estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these financial statements is in conformity with US GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, and the disclosures made in the accompanying notes. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB released FAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement is effective for the Company during this interim period. This Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, in order to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the Company is intending to manage. Management assessed and evaluated the new disclosure requirements for its derivative instruments, and in particular the hedges on its term loans. The only significant derivative instrument held by the Company is its interest rate swaps used to hedge the cash flows for interest on its long-term debt. These are disclosed in accordance with FAS 161, in note 9 to these consolidated financial statements. As of February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 the Company held no foreign exchange contracts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which for the Company is the fiscal year beginning December 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 142-3 (FSP FAS 142-3), Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and for interim periods within those years, which for the Company is the fiscal year beginning December 1, 2009. FSP FAS 142-3 provides guidance on the renewal or extension assumptions used in the determination of the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to better match the useful life of the recognized intangible asset to the period of the expected cash flows used to measure its fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Inventory

The components of inventory are as follows:


	February		November
	28, 2009		30, 2008
Product components	$	566	$	844
Finished goods		788		718

Inventory	$	1,354	$	1,562

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

At February 28, 2009, given the current disruption and uncertainty in the global economy, the significant decrease in the Company’s stock price over the last two fiscal quarters, and the Company’s revenues being lower than the prior year, the Company determined that the appropriate triggers had been reached to perform additional impairment testing on goodwill and its definite lived intangible assets.

Based on the excess of the Company’s market capitalization over its book value, there is no impairment in our goodwill as of February 28, 2009.

In order to assess the potential impairment of its intangible assets, the Company performed asset recoverability tests, using undiscounted cash flows based on internal projections for revenues and expenses. The Company concluded that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of all intangible assets tested, and therefore, no impairment was recorded as of February 28, 2009.

5. Income Taxes

For the three months ended February 28, 2009, the Company recorded a tax provision of $627 on a loss before income taxes of $909. The current tax provision is $1,372 and the deferred tax recovery is $745. The current tax provision relates mostly to withholding tax which is not creditable due to loss carryforwards and income taxes in foreign jurisdictions. The current tax provision was offset by a deferred tax recovery related to the amortization of the intellectual property acquired with InterVideo which has a tax basis of $nil.

For the three months ended February 29, 2008, the Company recorded a tax recovery of $92 on a loss before income taxes of $122. The current tax provision was $1,142 which related mostly to withholding taxes which are not creditable due to loss carryforwards and income taxes in foreign jurisdictions. The current tax provision was offset by a deferred tax recovery of $1,234 is related to the reversal of the deferred tax liability in respect of the intellectual property acquired as part of the InterVideo acquisition as the intellectual property is amortized.

At the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company received a notice of reassessment from the Ministry of Revenue of Ontario (the “Ministry”) for CDN$13.4 million. The Ministry reassessment disallows various deductions related to transactions with a foreign related party claimed on our tax returns for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 taxation years resulting in a potential disallowance of loss carryforwards and liabilities for tax and interest. In September 2007, Corel received further notice that the Ministry had applied tax losses and other attributes which reduced the assessment from CDN$13.4 million to CDN$6.4 million. Subsequently, in November 2007, the Company received another notice of assessment regarding this issue, which increased the capital tax and interest owing for the 2000, 2001, and 2002 taxation years. This reassessment was for CDN$7.5 million. The Company has not provided any amount in income tax payable in respect of these reassessments as it has and continues to vigorously defend against the reassessment. The Company has filed Notice of Objections for the denied deductions and for the capital tax issue. Although the Company believes that it will prevail in the appeals process, the ultimate liability for the tax and interest may differ from the amount recorded in our financial statements. While the Company believes that they have adequately provided for potential assessments, it is possible that an adverse outcome may lead to a material deficiency in recorded income tax expense and may adversely affect liquidity. As of February 28, 2009, no amounts have been accrued.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is currently, and from time to time, involved in certain legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of its business, including assertions from third parties that it may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others and from certain of our customers that they are entitled to indemnification from us in respect of claims that they are infringing such third party rights through the use or distribution of our products. 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. 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.

In addition, some of the Company’s agreements with customers and distributors, including OEMs and online services companies, require the Company to indemnify these parties for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, and many of these indemnification obligations are not subject to monetary limits. The existence of these indemnification provisions could increase the Company’s cost of litigation and could significantly increase its exposure to losses from an adverse ruling.

At February 28, 2009, the Company was a defendant in the Victor Company of Japan, Ltd (“JVC”) v. Corel Corporation, InterVideo, Inc., Cyberlink Corp. et al., patent infringement proceeding. JVC filed a patent infringement action on January 15, 2008, against Corel and others in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Austin Division), alleging infringement of US Patents: 6,493,383 issued on December 10, 2002; 6,522,692 issued February 18, 2003; 6,542,543 issued April 1, 2003; 6,570,920 issued May 27, 2003; 6,141,491 issued October 31, 2000; and 5,535,008 issued July 9, 1996. JVC alleges certain Corel video applications infringe the patents. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to JVC’s claims and intends to defend the litigation vigorously. The ultimate outcome of the litigation, however, is uncertain. Any potential loss is indeterminable at this time.

8. Restructuring Charges

In September 2008, management initiated a restructuring plan to reduce its workforce. The total costs that arose from this global restructuring were $2.4 million, of which $209 was expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, related to certain individuals who were retained by the Company into fiscal 2009.

In November 2007, management adopted a restructuring plan which resulted in the closure of the Company’s Minneapolis location in fiscal 2008 as well as the termination of certain individuals. The total cost related to the plan was $1,920. Of these costs, $178 were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, related to individuals who were retained by the Company into fiscal 2008.

(a)		As of February 28, 2009, the interest rate swap with a notional amount of $19.0 million has matured and is not included in the total.

In connection with its current long-term debt facility, the Company uses interest rate swaps to limit its exposure to changing interest rates and future cash outflows for interest. Interest rate swaps provide for the Company to pay an amount equal to a specified fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount and to receive in return an amount equal to a variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. As of February 28, 2009, the Company has $115.5 million of interest rate swaps which convert an aggregate notional principal amount of $115.5 million (or approximately 74% of its interest-bearing debt). The fixed rates of the current interest rate swaps range from 8.19% to 9.49%. The Company does not use its interest rate swaps for speculative purposes.

During fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swaps for $50.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, with its principal lender to reduce the risk of changes in cash flows associated with interest payments due to changes in one-month LIBOR. The interest rate swaps expire prior to the period which the senior credit extends. The objective of the swaps is to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows associated with the first future interest payments on floating rate debt with a notional amount of $90.0 million which is subject to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate, and therefore the cash flow from the derivative is expected to offset any changes in the first interest payments on floating rate debt with a notional amount of $90.0 million due to changes in one-month LIBOR. This is a hedge of specified cash flows. As a result, these interest rate swaps are derivatives and were designated as hedging instruments at the initiation of the swaps. The Company has applied cash flow hedge accounting in accordance with FAS 133. At the end of each period, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, in either other current assets if it is an asset position, or in accrued liabilities if it is in a liability position. Any related increases or decreases in the fair value are recognized on the Company’s balance sheet within accumulated other comprehensive income. Of the loss in other comprehensive income, approximately $3.0 million is expected to be re-classified into earnings over the next twelve months.

As of February 28, 2009, the Company has two additional interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $25.5 million as required under its senior credit facility. The interest rate swaps qualify as a derivative and were not designated as a hedging instrument at the

initiation of the swap, and as such, the Company has not applied hedge accounting. At the end of each period, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, either in other current assets or accrued liabilities, and any related gains or losses are recognized on the Company’s statement of operations within interest expense.

The Company considers its interest rate swaps to be a Level 2 measurement under the FAS 157 hierarchy, as it is largely based on observable inputs over the life of the swaps in a liquid market. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is calculated by comparing the stream of cash flows on the fixed rate debt versus the stream of cash flows that would arise under the floating rate debt. The floating and fixed rate cash flows are then discounted to the valuation date by using the one month LIBOR rate at the date of the valuation. In order to value the interest rate swaps, management used observable LIBOR rates. Linear interpolations was used to estimate the relevant rates along the zero coupon curve. To construct the zero coupon curves, management used cash rates up to three months inclusively, futures rates from three months to two years inclusively, and swap rates from two to thirty years. Through the implementation of FAS 157, the fair value of the interest rate swaps include a credit valuation adjustment. The credit adjusted valuation values the swaps using an adjusted LIBOR curve for discounting cash flows to take into account our and the counterparty’s credit risk. The credit spread used for the calculation was based on the Company’s debt ratings in February 2009.

The valuation of the interest rate swap can be sensitive to changes in the current and future one month LIBOR rates, which can have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative. However, as these swaps are used to manage the Company’s cash outflows, these changes will not impact its liquidity and capital resources. Furthermore, since the majority of the interest rate swaps are deemed as effective hedging instruments, these changes do not impact income from operations, as they would be included in other comprehensive income.

The Company assesses the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps as defined in FAS 133 on a quarterly basis. The Company has considered the impact of the current credit crisis in the United States in assessing the risk of counterparty default. The Company believes that it is still likely that the counterparty for these swaps will continue to act throughout the contract period, and as a result continues to deem the swaps as effective hedging instruments. A counterparty default risk is considered in the valuation of the interest rate swaps.

Management has assessed that its cash flow hedges have no ineffectiveness, as determined by the hypothetical derivate method. If the hedge of any of the interest rate swaps, was deemed ineffective, or extinguised by either counterparty, any accumulated gains or losses remaining in other comprehensive income would be fully recorded in interest expense during the period.

10. Loss per Share

The impact of the exercise of Corel options is anti-dilutive for the three months ending February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 as the Company has reported a loss. Had there been income for the three months ending February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, the impact of these potentially dilutive instruments would have been 308,000 and 582,000 respectively, if they were not anti-dilutive.

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

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the US. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A forward-looking statement may contain words such as “anticipate that,” “believes,” “continue to,” “estimates,” “expects to,” “hopes,” “intends,” “plans,” “to be,” “will be,” “will continue to be,” or similar words. These forward-looking statements include the statements in this Report regarding: future developments in our markets and the markets in which we expect to compete; our estimated cost reductions; our future ability to fund our operations; our development of new products and relationships; our ability to increase our customer base; the services that we or our customers will introduce and the benefits that end users will receive from these services; the impact of entering new markets; our plans to use or not to use certain types of technologies in the future; our future cost of revenue, gross margins and net losses; our future restructuring, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses; our future interest expenses; the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets; our future capital expenditures and capital requirements; and the anticipated impact of changes in applicable accounting rules.

These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances including but not limited to general economic conditions, product pricing levels and competitive intensity, and new product introductions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks include the following:

•		we are subject to restrictive debt covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on our operations and could limit our ability to grow our business. Due to the uncertainties presented by the current state of the global economy, and the decreasing trend in our financial performance there is a risk that we may not be able to access funds under our revolving credit facility and that we may be in violation of certain debt covenants with our lender over the next twelve months;

•		we face adverse effects to our business due to the recent disruption in the global economy and financial markets;

•		we rely on relationships with a small number of OEM’s and distributors for a significant percentage of our revenues, and if any of these companies terminates its relationship with us, our revenues could decline;

•		many of 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, if any; accordingly, we must develop new products, successfully complete acquisitions, penetrate new markets or increase penetration of our installed base to achieve revenue growth;

•		we face potential claims from third parties who may hold patent and other intellectual property rights which purport to cover various aspects of our products and from certain of our customers who may be entitled to indemnification from us in respect of potential claims they may receive from third parties related to their use or distribution of our products;

•		we face competition from companies with significant competitive advantages, such as significantly greater market share and resources;

•		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;

•		we rely on relationships with a small number of strategic partners and these relationships can be modified or effectively terminated at any time without our approval;

•		we face potential claims from third parties who may hold patent and other intellectual property rights which purport to cover various aspects of our products and from certain of our customers who may be entitled to indemnification from us in respect of potential claims they may receive from third parties related to their use or distribution of our products;

•		our acquisition strategy may fail for various reasons, including our inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions on acceptable terms or effectively integrate acquired businesses;

•		we have significantly higher levels of indebtedness following the InterVideo acquisition, including term loan debt of $156.0 million as of February 28, 2009, which could have important consequences for our business such as limiting our ability to make further significant acquisitions;

•		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

•		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.

These risk factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. We disclaim any intention 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, except as required by law.

Many factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the above factors.

These and other important factors are described in greater detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K dated February 9, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with Canadian securities regulators. A copy of the 10-K can be obtained on our website ( http://www.corel.com ), or at www.sec.gov

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three month period ended February 28, 2009 included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. All amounts are in United States dollars, except as otherwise noted.

OVERVIEW OF THE QUARTER

Operating Performance

Revenue was $56.2 million, down 14% year over year. The revenue decrease of $9.3 million is largely as a result of weakness in the global economy which has had an adverse impact on our operations. Within our Digital Media group, our revenues decreased by $2.0 million or 7%, largely due to decreases in Instant On, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo, Corel Media One, and DVD Movie Factory, which were offset by gains in WinDVD. Our Graphics and Productivity revenue decreased by $7.3 million or 20%, due mainly to declines in revenues from our CorelDRAW, WinZip, iGrafx, and Word Perfect products. Despite the decrease in revenues of $9.3 million, overall cost of revenues remained consistent with the prior year, due to the change in sales mix resulting from a decreased proportion of revenues associated with products with lower royalty costs as compared to revenues associated with products with higher royalty costs, such as WinDVD.

From an operating income perspective, we were able to mitigate the impact of the decreased revenues and gross margins through a 24% year over year reduction in our operating expenses of $9.6 million, which was driven by our prior restructuring activities, a decrease in discretionary spending, and favorable foreign exchange rate changes.

Our net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $30,000, or $0.00 per share in the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $11.0 million and cash used by operations was $29,000 in the quarter compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million and cash flow from operations of $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to eliminate items specifically defined in our credit facility agreement. Refer to the Financial Condition section within this MD&A, for a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to cash flow provided by operations.

Total	$	56,214		$	65,544			(14.2)	%

Total revenues for the three month period ended February 28, 2009 decreased by 14.2% to $56.2 million from $65.5 million for the three months ended February 29, 2008. On a global level, all of our products, product groups, and distribution channels have been impacted by the weakening of the global economy and the declining EURO in relation to the US Dollar. Of the decrease in total revenues of $9.3 million, $7.3 million is attributable to the Graphics and Productivity group of products and $2.0 million is attributable to the Digital Media group of products. Revenues from the OEM distribution channel has remained unchanged, compared to the prior period, as we have entered into two significant deals with customers for WinDVD in the final quarter of fiscal 2008. Our remaining distribution channels, including direct sale and resellers, have had declining revenues compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Our resellers have been reducing inventory levels across all our products. Direct spending by customers has also been reduced across all products.

Product revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2009 decreased by 15.6% to $50.1 million from $59.4 million for the three months ended February 29, 2008. Product revenues have declined for the same reasons as described above for total revenues.

Maintenance and services revenues for the three months ending February 28, 2009 remained unchanged as compared to the three months ending February 29, 2008. We have not experienced declines in maintenance revenues, as much of this revenue is related to products sold in prior periods, in which we had growth in revenues.

Graphics and Productivity revenues decreased by $7.3 million or 19.7% to $29.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $36.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The revenue decline was primarily driven by declines in CorelDRAW, WinZip, iGrafx and WordPerfect. CorelDRAW, which enjoyed a sales peak in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 due the launch of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4, experienced most of its decline in EMEA. WinZip revenues have declined mostly in EMEA. iGrafx revenues have declined in EMEA and the Americas, as some enterprise customers have postponed their orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Digital Media revenues decreased by $2.0 million or 7.1% to $26.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $28.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Our decline in these revenues were led by declines in Paint Shop Pro Photo, Instant On, MediaOne and DVD Movie Factory. These decreases were offset by an increase in WinDVD, which has enjoyed success in Taiwan and Japan with existing and new OEM customers. The decline in Paint Shop Pro Photo was mainly isolated in the EMEA market where they have faced economic adversity across all distribution channels. The decline in Instant On is due to a significant Japanese OEM customer that is not currently bundling this product with their computers. However, we changed the specifications in the agreement with this OEM customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and expect to see increases in revenues in future periods from Instant On to a limited scale of those earned in fiscal 2008. MediaOne has incurred the majority of its losses in the United States as there has been a large decrease in electronic downloads in the current quarter. The majority of the decrease in DVD Movie Factory is in North America, relating largely to OEM sales decreases for two significant customers.

Revenues in the Americas decreased by $4.7 million or 15.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $26.2 million compared to $30.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline in revenue was led by WinDVD, CorelDRAW, WordPerfect, MediaOne, DVD Movie Factory, WinZip and iGrafx. The WinDVD and DVD Movie Factory decline in revenues are primarily due to lower OEM sales with two large customers. The decrease in CorelDRAW revenues is primarily attributable to the launch of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline in MediaOne revenues is largely due to a reduction in electronic downloads. WordPerfect, which is declining at slower rates then in prior years, and iGrafx have received smaller orders from its largest customers, those being distributors and enterprise businesses, respectively. WinZip has continued its recent trend of lower internet license sales in the current quarter.

Revenues in EMEA decreased by $5.9 million or 28.1% to $15.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $21.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. One significant cause of the declining revenues in this region is the drop in the value of the EURO relative to the US dollar. The average exchange rate was 1.47 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 1.32 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The impact of the declining exchange rates is estimated to have lowered revenues by $1.7 million. The most significant portion of the decline in revenues was in CorelDRAW, which had significant growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 due to the launch of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4. The decrease in revenues in this region was also caused by declines in WinZip, Paint Shop Pro Photo, and iGrafx. The decrease in WinZip is due to a slow down of customer purchases from distributors and through internet license sales. The decline in Paint Shop Pro Photo is largely due to declining orders from the largest resellers of this product. iGrafx revenues have declined due to the falloff of enterprise level orders across various customers who are postponing purchases.

Asia Pacific revenues increased by $1.3 million or 9.5% to $14.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This revenue growth is caused by increasing sales in our WinDVD product, which has been partially offset by decreasing sales in Instant On, VideoStudio, and iGrafx. The growth in revenue in WinDVD is attributable to significant agreements entered into with two OEM customers in Taiwan, and growth in OEM sales in Japan. There was a significant sale of Instant On with an OEM customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2008; this did occur in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. However, we have had a change of specifications with this OEM customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, such that Instant On sales should increase in future periods to partially offset the decrease in the current period. The decline in revenues of VideoStudio is mainly due to the decreased sales through one OEM customer. The main consumer of iGrafx in Japan has made declining orders in the current fiscal period.

Cost of Product Revenues. Cost of product revenues increased by 2.0% to $15.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $15.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of product revenues, cost of product revenues increased to 31.0% for the three months ended February 28, 2009 from 25.7% in the three month period ended February 29, 2008. The increase in the period is

largely attributable to the change in our product mix caused by the higher proportion of Digital Media products sold, and in particular WinDVD. WinDVD sales, which have been increasing relative to other products, carry a higher royalty charges as a percentage of revenue than any of our other products.

Cost of Maintenance and Services Revenues. Cost of maintenance and services revenues decreased to 1.6% of related revenues in the first three months of fiscal 2009 from 2.7% in the first three months of fiscal 2008, and is primarily attributable to WinZip’s maintenance revenues and the limited incremental costs to provide such revenue.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets decreased by $249,000 to $6.2 million in the three months ended February 28, 2009, from $6.4 million in the three months ended February 29, 2008. The decrease is due to the amortization pattern of certain customer relationships obtained in the acquisition of InterVideo in fiscal 2007.

Total	$	31,126		$	40,764			(23.6)	%

A significant portion of our total operating costs of $31.1 million relates to employee costs. Most of our employees are located in Canada, Taiwan and the United Kingdom and as a result a significant portion of our labour and other operating costs are incurred in jurisdictions outside of the United States. As compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the US Dollar is relatively stronger to each of the Canadian Dollar, the Pound Sterling, and the New Taiwanese Dollar. This has caused an estimated reduction in our operating expenses of $3.3 million, of which $2.2 million, $0.9 million, and $0.2 million is related to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar, the Pound Sterling, and the New Taiwanese dollar, respectively.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 22.7% to $15.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. For the first three months of fiscal 2009, sales and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 27.1%, as compared to 30.0% for the prior period. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is as a result of reduced headcount in our sales and marketing force subsequent to our September 2008 restructuring, a decrease in discretionary spending on marketing programs, and the decline in the Canadian dollar and the Pound Sterling relative to the US Dollar, which has a favorable impact on operating costs of $1.5 million.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased by 23.8% to $9.2 million in the three months ended February 28, 2009. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 16.4% for the first three months of fiscal 2009, as compared to 18.4% for the prior period. The decrease in research and development expense is as a result of reduced headcount subsequent to our completed restructuring activities in September 2008 and April 2008, a decrease in facility costs related to the consolidation of operations, such as the closure of the Minneapolis location subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and the decline in the Canadian dollar and the New Taiwanese dollar relative to the US Dollar which had a favorable impact on operating costs of $0.6 million.

General and Administration. General and administration expenses decreased 26.5% to $6.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from $8.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased to 11.5% in the quarter ended February 28, 2009, as compared to 13.4% in the quarter ended February 29, 2008. The decrease in general and administration expense is as a result of reduced headcount subsequent to our completed restructuring activities in September 2008, a decrease in facility costs related to the consolidation of operations, and the decline in the Canadian dollar and the Pound Sterling relative to the US Dollar which had a favorable impact on operating costs of $1.2 million.

Restructuring Expense: In September 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan to streamline our global operations in order to become more operationally efficient and to increase our investment in key growth opportunities, including sales to emerging markets and our eCommerce program. As part of this effort, we reduced our workforce by approximately 90 employees worldwide. The total costs that arose from this global restructuring were $2.4 million, of which $209 was expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This was related to certain individuals who were retained by us into fiscal 2009.

In November 2007, we adopted a restructuring plan to centralize much of our Digital Media operations in Greater China and California. Further changes were made to staff to align and balance our global teams. This resulted in the planned closure of our Minneapolis location in fiscal 2008 as well as the termination of certain individuals. The total cost related to the Digital Media Plan was $1,920. Of these costs, $178 were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which related to individuals who were retained by us into fiscal 2008.

These restructuring activities have had a significant impact in reducing our operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. We expect this trend to continue through the end of fiscal 2009.

Additional Expense Reduction Initiatives. On April 2, 2009, we announced that we are implementing a series of initiatives to further reduce costs. These initiatives include an immediate 10% salary reduction for all senior executives, five unpaid days off for all employees to be taken in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and accelerated timing for the mandatory use of any unused vacation time. As a result of these initiatives, we expect to realize additional operational cost savings of approximately $2.0 million through the remainder of fiscal 2009. We also announced that we will continue to monitor our cost structure and take additional actions as required.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense decreased by $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease is due to the favorable change of $852,000 related to the valuation of our interest rate swaps, and the decrease in the LIBOR rate in the past 12 months which has reduced the interest we pay on the portion of our long-term debt that is not hedged.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Fees. Amortization of deferred financing fees of $271,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was consistent with the first quarter of fiscal 2008, as there have been no new credit facilities during the period.

Other Non-Operating Income. Non-operating income decreased by $2.3 million to a loss of $876,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 from the first quarter of fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2008, a gain on the sale of a long-term investment of $822,000 was recognized. The remaining difference is due largely to the fact that there have been unfavorable currency exchange rates in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily relating to the strengthening of the US Dollar versus the Pound Sterling and the Japanese Yen, as compared to favorable foreign currency exchange gains in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 relating mostly to the weakening of the US Dollar versus the Canadian Dollar and the EURO.

Income Tax Expense (Recovery)

For the three months ended February 28, 2009, we recorded a tax provision of $627,000 on a loss before income taxes of $909,000. The current tax provision is $1.4 million and the deferred tax recovery is $745,000. The deferred tax recovery relates to the reversal of the deferred tax liability in respect of the intellectual property acquired as part of the InterVideo acquisition as the intellectual property is amortized. The current tax provision relates mostly to withholding taxes, which are not creditable due to loss carryforwards and income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

For the three months ended February 29, 2008, we recorded a tax recovery of $92,000 on a loss before income taxes of $122,000. The current tax provision was $1.1 million and the deferred tax recovery was $1.2 million. The deferred tax recovery relates to the reversal of the deferred tax liability of $25.8 million in respect of the intellectual property acquired as part of the InterVideo acquisition as the intellectual property is amortized. The current tax provision relates mostly to withholding taxes, which are not creditable due to loss carryforwards and income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The amount of the current tax provision has increased by $230,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, due to additional tax withholdings on Japanese and other foreign sales. The amount of the deferred tax recovery has decreased by $489,000 as a result of planned changes in ownership related to our intellectual property.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of February 28, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents of $48.7 million and trade accounts receivable of $28.4 million.

At February 28, 2009, all of our cash and cash equivalents are held on deposit with banks. The largest proportion of our bank deposits is held in Canadian banking institutions which we believe to be secure in the current global economy due to historically tighter regulations. We believe that we will be able to access the remaining balance of bank deposits outside of Canada as these deposits are with

large, reputable banks. We have and will continue to make a series of short-term investments in term deposits and commercial paper. Our investment policy is to invest in low risk short-term investments which are investment grade commercial paper and term deposits. We have not had a history of any defaults on this commercial paper, nor do we expect any in the future given the grade and short term to maturity of these investments. All commercial paper on hand at November 30, 2008 has been redeemed.

Based on our current business plan, internal forecasts and the risks that are present in the current global economy, we believe that cash generated from operations and our existing cash balance, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating cash requirements over the next twelve months. While we had cash used by operations of $29,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, this deficit was due to the change in our working capital, whereby we significantly decreased our accounts payable position. Adjusting for this change, we generated cash flows from operations of $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of our 10-K for the period ending November 30, 2008.

In fiscal 2008, the Company generated an increase in cash of $25.6 million, largely driven by our operating cash flows, increasing our cash and cash equivalents to $50.3 million.

Over the next 12 months, our financing payments will increase and our operating cash flows could decrease, as we are required to make cash sweep payments and face uncertainty associated with revenues in this current economic environment. The cash sweep payment due under our senior credit facility in March 2009, has been fully paid for in the amount of $17.5 million on March 2, 2009. On March 1, 2010, we will be required to make a further cash sweep payment based on our fiscal 2009 results, which we currently estimate to be approximately $12.0 million. Despite this cash sweep of approximately $12.0 million being for our fiscal 2009 results, we are not obligated to make payments in the next 12 months, and as such the approximately $12.0 million is not classified as a current liability. The cash sweep payments and revenue uncertainty will be partially offset by a reduction in our operating expenditures, including through the additional cost reduction initiatives announced on April 2, 2009, an elimination of salary increases for fiscal 2009, a reduction in expenditures such as the charges associated with the evaluation of strategic alternatives, and a reduction in our capital expenditures. The benefits of our restructuring activities and our cost curtailment initiatvies are evident in our first quarter operating expenditures which have decreased by 23.6% from the same period in the prior year. We expect this trend to continue into the remainder of fiscal 2009. We also have no significant liabilities for our defined pension benefit plan, our past restructuring activities, and do not expect significant cash flows from tax uncertainties and in particular our tax contingency with the province of Ontario.

We expect that our actions to reduce operating expenses will allow us to generate operating cash flows sufficient to sustain operations, to address cash sweep payments noted above, and to offset, in whole or in part, the potential impact of a decrease in future revenues. We also believe the global positioning of our diverse group of products will reduce the revenue risks that we face created by the uncertainty in the present economy.

We have a five-year $75.0 million revolving line of credit facility, of which approximately $70.0 million is unused as of February 28, 2009. Management believes, based on our current market conditions, forecasts and our debt covenant restrictions, that limited amounts, if any, of the line of credit will be available to us over the next twelve months. Ultimately, we would need to obtain approval from our lenders for permitted transactions as defined in the credit agreement. Management has not used, and does not anticipate the need to use, the revolving line of credit to fund operating requirements and debt re-payments over the next 12 months.

As of February 28, 2009 we are in full compliance with all debt covenants with our lenders However, due to the uncertainties presented by the current state of the global economy, and the decreasing trend in our financial performance there is a risk that we may be in violation of certain debt covenants with our lenders over the next twelve months.

Based on our current senior debt facility, a significant balloon payment will be required in fiscal 2012. We are unable to currently assess our ability to maintain our creditworthiness over this period, which would be required to refinance this payment at or prior to that date.

Working Capital

Our working capital deficiency at February 28, 2009 was $1.6 million, an improvement of $4.7 million from the November 30, 2008 working capital deficiency of $6.3 million.

Current assets at February 28, 2009 were $87.9 million, a decrease of $6.7 million from the November 30, 2008 year end balance of $94.5 million. The decrease is due to a decrease in our trade accounts receivable of $4.8 million and a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million. The decrease in our cash position is due to our normal financing and investing requirements, which include quarterly long-term debt repayments of $399,000 and the purchase of capital assets of $784,000. The decrease in the trade accounts receivable balance is due to the timing of cash receipts from some of our largest customers.

Current liabilities were $89.5 million at February 28, 2009, a decrease of $11.4 million from November 30, 2008. The decrease primarily resulted from the reduction in our royalties payable, which was attributable to the timing of certain payments to some of our largest suppliers.

Cash Flows

Cash used by operations increased by $6.4 million to $29,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 compared to cash provided by operations of $6.4 million for the three months ended February 29, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of the payment of significant royalties in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Cash used in financing activities was $570,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 compared to the $718,000 for the three month period ended February 29, 2008. While the cash used for financing activities has been consistent for this quarter, it will increase significantly in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, due to the cash sweep payment of $17.5 million made in March 2009.

Cash used in investing activities was $784,000 in the three months ended February 28, 2009, which was a decrease from the cash used of $1.4 million in the three months ended February 29, 2008. There were significant cash outlays in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 for the purchase of long-lived assets relating mostly to technology licenses and significant investment in computer hardware. We expect our capital spending to remain lower throughout fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to eliminate items specifically defined in our credit facility agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity under GAAP. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to confirm our compliance with covenants contained in our debt facilities, as a supplemental indicator of our operating performance and to assist in evaluation of our ongoing operations and liquidity and to determine appropriate levels of indebtedness. In particular, we have included a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA because certain covenants in our credit facility are tied to Adjusted EBITDA. If our Adjusted EBITDA were to decline below certain levels, it could result in, among other things, a default or mandatory prepayment under our current credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA was $11.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $13.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease of $2.3 million is primarily attributable to our decrease in gross margin in the period, caused by the decline in revenues being principally concentrated in our higher margin products, which was partially offset by our decline in operating expenditures.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore is not comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, and should not be viewed as an alternative to or substitute for measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with GAAP. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a measure of liquidity and that cash flow from operations is the closest GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we had cash used by operations of $29,000, and cash flow from operations of $6.4 million, respectively. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to cash flow from operations; investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation:

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In certain agreements with customers and distributors, including OEMs and online services companies, we provide indemnifications for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, and many of these indemnification obligations are not subject to monetary limits. We evaluate estimated losses for such indemnifications under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, as interpreted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. We consider factors such as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, we have not encountered material costs as a result of such obligations and have not accrued any material liabilities related to such indemnifications in our financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States consistently applied throughout all periods. The preparation of these financial statements 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 ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies, litigation and cash sweep payments related to our long-term debt. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, 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 these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

All critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements have been discussed in Item 7 of our 10-K filing as at November 30, 2008.

Impairment of Goodwill

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”), goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests or on a more frequent basis if events or conditions indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. We also test goodwill for impairment more frequently if events or circumstances warrant. Corel as a whole is considered one reporting unit. We estimate the value of our reporting unit based on our market capitalization. If we determine that our carrying value exceeds our fair value, we would conduct the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step compares the implied fair value of the goodwill (determined as the excess fair value over the fair value assigned to our other assets and liabilities) to the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill were to exceed the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized. As of February 28, 2009, our goodwill balance of approximately $82.3 million arises from the acquisition of Jasc in fiscal 2004, which generated goodwill of approximately $9.9 million, and from the acquisition of InterVideo in fiscal 2007, which generated goodwill of approximately $72.4 million.

At February 28, 2009, given the current disruption and uncertainty in our ecomomy, and our revenues being lower than the prior year, we determined that the appropriate triggers had been reached to perform an impairment test beyond the annual goodwill impairment test. Based on our market capitalization as at February 28, 2009, our fair value continues to exceed our carrying value. While this is largely attributable to the negative carrying value of our net assets, the significance of the excess of our market capitalization over carrying value supports the carrying value of our goodwill as at February 28, 2009. Furthermore, the financial position of our Company continues to remain solid as we reduce our working capital deficiency and undertake cost reduction measures to address uncertainty in revenues. Based on the above considerations, we have concluded that there is no impairment in our goodwill as of February 28, 2009.

Definite-lived Intangible Assets

We amortize our long-lived assets over the estimated useful life of the asset. We evaluate all of our long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, periodically for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets be evaluated for impairment when events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in facts or circumstances can include a strategic change in business direction, decline or discontinuance of a product line, a reduction in our customer base or a restructuring. If one of these events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, or that our estimated amortization period was not appropriate, we would record an impairment charge against our long-lived assets. The amount of impairment would be measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset as calculated using a net realizable value methodology. An impairment charge would be recorded as an operating expense in the period of the impairment and as a reduction in the carrying value of that asset.

At February 28, 2009, given the current disruption and uncertainty in the global economy, the decrease in our revenues from prior quarters, and the decrease in our stock price over the last two fiscal quarters, we determined that the appropriate triggers had been reached for an impairment test on our definite lived intangible assets. Our definite lived intangible assets are licenses, technologies, trade names

and customer relationships that we acquired with InterVideo, WinZip, and Jasc. The definite lived intangibles from these acquisitions have net book values as at February 28, 2009 of $43.7 million, $11.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

We performed our asset recoverability tests using undiscounted cash flows. We grouped the definite lived intangible assets at the lowest level for which we determined identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities, and estimated the associated cash flows by the Graphics and Productivity and Digital Media product lines. Our cash flow analysis did not extend beyond four years, which is consistent with the remaining amortization period of the majority of intangibles. We used our internal forecasts for the next four years to derive revenues, including a projected decrease in revenues in fiscal 2009. We included gross margin percentages consistent with those that had been achieved in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and projected a reduction in operating expenses from fiscal 2008, reflective of the operating costs incurred in the final quarter of fiscal 2008, when we implemented restructuring activities and announced wage freezes for the upcoming fiscal year. These undiscounted cash flows supported the recoverability of our definite lived intangible assets.

In addition, we performed a sensitivity analysis on the cash flow forecasts which focused on revenues and cost of revenues, as we do not expect much variability in our operating costs. Given a 5% reduction in our revenues on an annual basis and a 5% reduction in gross margin, the resulting undiscounted cash flows continue to support the recoverability the definite lived intangible assets over the same period.

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. Our market risk sensitive instruments were all entered into for non-trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our long-term debt. We have significantly larger amounts of interest bearing debt as compared to interest bearing assets. The risk is associated with increases in the prime lending rate, as a significant portion of the debt has a floating rate of interest based on the LIBOR rate.

Given the amount of debt that we have, if LIBOR rates were to rise significantly, the resulting interest cost could materially affect the business. Our annual interest expense, after considering our interest rate swaps that are deemed as effective hedging instruments, would change by approximately $330,000 for each 0.5% change in interest rates based on debt outstanding as of February 28, 2009. In connection with the current debt facility, we use interest rate swaps to limit our exposure to changing interest rates and future cash outflows for interest. Interest rate swaps provide for us to pay an amount equal to a specified fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount and to receive in return an amount equal to a variable rate of interest times the same notional amount.

As of February 28, 2009, our interest rate swaps convert an aggregate notional principal amount of $115.5 million (or approximately 74% of our interest-bearing debt) from floating rate interest payments under our term loan facility to fixed interest rate obligations. The variable rate of interest is based on one-month LIBOR plus 4.00%. The fixed rates range from 8.19% to 9.49%. As of February 28, 2009, $90.0 million of these interest rate swaps have been designated as effective hedging instruments and any gains or losses on these items are recorded in other comprehensive income. In this quarter, the increase in the liability to record the fair value of the swaps of $575,000 has been recorded as a loss in other comprehensive income.

We assess the effectiveness of our interest rate swaps as defined in Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 133”), on a quarterly basis. We have considered the impact of the current credit crisis in the United States and elsewhere, and the downturn in the global economy in assessing the risk of counterparty default. We believe that it is still likely that the counterparty for these swaps will continue to act throughout the contract period, and as a result we continue to assess the swaps as effective hedging instruments. If there was to be a counterparty default during the life of the contract, there could be a material impact on future cash flows as well as interest expense recorded on our statement of operations. To the extent that the interest rate swaps continue to be in a liability position the impact would not be adverse.

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of our employees are located in Canada and Taiwan. We incur a disproportionate percentage of costs in Canadian and Taiwanese dollars as compared to Canadian and Taiwanese dollar denominated revenues. In addition we have a disproportionate amount of revenues in Euros and Japanese Yen, as compared to costs in Euros and Japanese Yen. We are therefore exposed to

loss if the Canadian and Taiwanese dollar appreciates against the US dollar, and if the Euro and the Japanese Yen depreciate against the US dollar.

We manage our financial exposure to certain foreign exchange fluctuations with the objective of minimizing the impact of foreign currency exchange movements on our operations. We try to minimize the effect of changes in US and Canadian dollar exchange rates on our business through the purchase of forward exchange contracts. As of February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 we had no forward exchange contracts. However, we did settle some US Dollar foreign exchange contracts during the period, and intend to continue using such contracts into the future.

As we also operate internationally, a portion of our business outside North America is conducted in currencies other than the US dollar. Accordingly, the results of our business may also be affected by fluctuations in the US dollar against certain European and Asian currencies, in particular the Pound Sterling, the Yen and the Euro. Our exposure to these and other currencies is partially mitigated 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.

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 at the reasonable assurance level. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Corel have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently, and from time to time, involved in certain legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business, including assertions from third parties that we may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others and from certain of our customers that they are entitled to indemnification from us in respect of claims that they are infringing such third party rights through the use or distribution of our products. 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. 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.

In addition, some of our agreements with customers and distributors, including OEMs and online services companies, require us to indemnify these parties for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, and many of these indemnification obligations are not subject to monetary limits. The existence of these indemnification provisions could increase our cost of litigation and could significantly increase our exposure to losses from an adverse ruling.

At February 28, 2009, we were a defendant in Victor Company of Japan, Ltd (“JVC”) v. Corel Corporation, InterVideo, Inc., Cyberlink Corp. et al, an ongoing patent infringement proceeding. JVC filed a patent infringement action on January 15, 2008, against Corel and others in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Austin Division), alleging infringement of US Patents: 6,493,383 issued on December 10, 2002; 6,522,692 issued February 18, 2003; 6,542,543 issued April 1, 2003; 6,570,920 issued May 27, 2003; 6,141,491 issued October 31, 2000; and 5,535,008 issued July 9, 1996. JVC alleges certain Corel video applications infringe the patents. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to JVC’s claims and intend to defend the litigation vigorously. The ultimate outcome of the litigation, however, is uncertain. Any potential loss is indeterminable at this time.
