Basis Of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis Of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), GXS, Inc. (GXS Korea) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of June 30, 2015, were 90%, 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. 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 Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), with effect from January 2, 2015, and Actuate Corporation (Actuate), with effect from January 16, 2015 (see note 18). 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 obligations 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 Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, we combined revenues from cloud services and revenues from subscriptions into one line item named "Cloud services and subscriptions" revenue. In addition, we have reclassified certain license revenue, customer support revenue and professional services revenue to “Cloud services and subscriptions” revenue to better align the nature of revenues that are now depicted under “Cloud services and subscriptions” revenue. As a result, revenue and cost of revenues previously reflected in "License", "Customer support" and "Professional services and other" were reclassified to “Cloud services and subscriptions”. These revenues and expenses have been reclassified in the Consolidated Statements of Income for Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 to conform with the current period presentation as follows:
