Basis Of Presentation
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “OpenText” or the “Company”. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes the financial results of EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink), with effect from July 2, 2012, Resonate KT Limited (RKT), with effect from March 5, 2013 and ICCM Professional Services Limited (ICCM), with effect from May 23, 2013 (see note 18).
Pursuant to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income” and Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”, we elected to present separate consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013), for the year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012) and for the year ended June 30, 2011 (Fiscal 2011).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.
Reclassifications
Cloud Services
Starting in the first quarter for the year ended June 30, 2013 (Fiscal 2013), in light of our acquisition of EasyLink on July 2, 2012, we adopted a policy to classify revenues and cost of revenues relating to "Cloud Services" as a separate line item within "Revenues" and "Cost of revenues", respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Income. No prior period comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation since such prior period amounts are not material.
Research and Development Tax Credits
Non-refundable research and development tax credits are reflected as a component of "Income tax" expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain prior period comparative figures have been adjusted on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to current period presentation. As of June 30, 2012, long-term “Deferred tax assets” have been increased from previously reported amounts by approximately $34.9 million, with a corresponding decrease to “Long-term income taxes recoverable”. There was no change to total assets, liabilities, or shareholders' equity as a result of this reclassification. The prior period comparative figures on the Consolidated Statements of Income have not been adjusted as the amounts are not material.
Certain other prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications were not considered material and did not affect our consolidated total revenues, consolidated operating income or consolidated net income.
