NOVELL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Quarterly Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial
statements as of January 31, 2011 and for the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 were prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial
reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q but do not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should, therefore, be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. The accompanying
financial statements are unaudited and include all normal recurring adjustments that we believe are necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the interim periods presented. The interim
operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
Merger with Attachmate Corporation
On November 21, 2010, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with
Attachmate Corporation, a Washington corporation (Attachmate), and Longview Software Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate (Merger Sub). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, at the time the merger is effective, each issued and outstanding share of our common stock, other than treasury shares, shares held by Attachmate, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate or us and
shares held by stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive $6.10 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions to
closing, including, among others, (i) the approval by our stockholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act), and the approval by the German antitrust authority, the Federal Cartel Office (FCO); (iii) the absence of any law, order or other action enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting consummation of the merger; (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on us; (v) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Patent Purchase Agreement (as defined below); (vi) the accuracy of the
parties respective representations and warranties; (vii) the parties respective compliance with agreements and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement; and (viii) the availability to us and our subsidiaries of cash and cash
equivalents equal to approximately $1.03 billion. The waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the merger expired at 11:59 p.m. EDT, on February 2, 2011. The merger was also subject to review and approval by the FCO. Attachmate, with
our consent, filed the appropriate notification in Germany, and the FCO granted clearance to the merger transaction on December 23, 2010 stating that it will not oppose the merger transaction. On February 17, 2011, we held a special
meeting of stockholders at which our stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
Also on
November 21, 2010, we entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (the Patent Purchase Agreement) with CPTN Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and consortium of technology companies organized by Microsoft Corporation
(CPTN). The Patent Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Patent Purchase Agreement, we will sell to CPTN all of our right, title and interest in certain identified issued patents
and patent applications for $450 million in cash. Consummation of the patent sale is subject to certain conditions to closing, including, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the consummation of
the patent sale under the HSR Act and certain other antitrust laws; and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to the consummation of the merger (other than the closing of the patent sale), and the parties to the Merger
Agreement shall be ready, willing and able to consummate the merger, immediately after the closing of the patent sale. On February 2, 2011, we and CPTN each received a request for additional information from the Antitrust Division of the United
States Department of Justice (the DOJ) regarding the patent sale. The requests have the effect of extending the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both parties have substantially complied with the requests, unless the
waiting period is earlier terminated. On March 4, 2011, we and CPTN each certified as to the substantial compliance with our second respective requests. In addition, at the request of the DOJ, we and CPTN each have agreed to provide the DOJ
with additional time to review the patent sale and not to close the patent sale prior to April 12, 2011. We remain committed to working with the DOJ as it conducts its review of the patent sale. We continue to work toward completing the merger
as quickly as possible and currently anticipate that the closing of the merger will occur following the completion of the waiting period and the satisfaction of other closing conditions.

Amortization of intangible assets for the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010 was $1.8 million
and $2.1 million, respectively. Amortization of existing intangibles is estimated to be approximately $2.3 million for the remainder of fiscal 2011, and $0.5 million in fiscal 2012, with nothing thereafter.
We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of August 1. In addition, we evaluate
the recoverability of our goodwill and all our intangible assets if events or changes in circumstances warrant, such as a material adverse change in the business.
F. Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions
and the use of estimates is required in determining our provision for income taxes. For the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we provided $33.5 million for income tax expense. Income tax expense was recorded based on the estimated annual effective tax
rate for the year applied to ordinary income (pre-tax income excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) and discrete tax items related primarily to a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to
foreign earnings pursuant to a planned cash repatriation in connection with the Merger Agreement.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 216%, compared to an effective tax rate of 28% for the
prior year period. Included in the 216% effective tax rate was the impact of a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion of foreign earnings in the current period. Excluding this discrete item, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of
fiscal 2011 was 17%.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 differs from the federal statutory rate of
35% primarily due to the discrete tax effects of the change in assertion with respect to foreign earnings, stock-based compensation, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings.
Foreign Earnings
As of January 31, 2011, we have provided $39.4
million for deferred taxes on a portion of our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries pursuant to a planned cash repatriation in connection with the Merger Agreement. As a result of the tax effects of the cash repatriation plan, we released
the remaining valuation allowance of $8.6 million on our foreign tax credits such that the net provision pursuant to the cash repatriation plan was $30.8 million. We have not provided for deferred taxes on the portion of our undistributed earnings
of foreign subsidiaries which are not involved in the cash repatriation plan as such undistributed earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. We consider the earnings to be indefinitely reinvested based on managements overall
business strategy, including anticipated future uses of global cash balances for operations.
Valuation Allowance
We continue to maintain a valuation allowance on a portion of our U.S. and foreign net deferred tax assets. As of
January 31, 2011, we released the valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits and a portion of our capital losses due to the effects of the cash repatriation plan. The U.S. net deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance is maintained
include capital losses, state net
9

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
F. Income Taxes (Continued)
operating losses and credits, and $16.6 million in federal credits related to stock-based compensation deductions for which the benefit will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in
capital. The valuation allowance on our foreign net deferred tax assets primarily involves net operating losses. The determination of the realization of these foreign benefits is made on a country-by-country basis.
As deferred tax assets or liabilities increase or decrease in the future, or if a portion or all of the remaining valuation allowance is
no longer deemed to be necessary, the adjustments to the valuation allowance will increase or decrease future income tax provisions or additional paid-in capital.
Income Tax Reserves
As of January 31, 2011, we had reserves for
unrecognized tax benefits totaling $21.5 million, excluding interest, of which $14.4 million would favorably impact our effective tax rate if recognized. As of October 31, 2010, we had reserves for unrecognized tax benefits totaling $21.4
million, excluding interest.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we increased our accrual for interest by $0.1 million
related to unrecognized tax benefits. We had $3.3 million and $3.2 million accrued for the payment of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively.
As of January 31, 2011, we have recorded a $17.7 million liability for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest in the line
item Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
The difference between the total unrecognized
tax benefits and those affecting the effective tax rate is due to certain unrecognized tax benefits that would have a full valuation allowance if recognized. As of January 31, 2011, we believe it is reasonably possible that $2.2 million of
unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest will decrease within the next 12 months as the result of statutes of limitations expiring in various jurisdictions.
We conduct business globally. As a result, we file income tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions throughout the world. In the U.S., we are currently in
appeals with the Internal Revenue Service regarding two issues related to its examination of tax years 2005 and 2006. We do not anticipate that the settlement of the two outstanding issues will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations. In addition, we are at various stages in examinations in some state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations for years prior
to fiscal 2002 or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005.

The adjustments reflected in the table above for the respective fiscal year relate to changes in prior
fiscal year estimates for various severance-related benefits and facility reserves.
As of January 31, 2011, the
remaining unpaid restructuring balances are primarily for lease costs for redundant facilities, which we expect will be paid over the respective remaining contract terms, the longest of which extends to 2018, and for severance, most of which is
currently being contested in court and currently represents our best estimate of the amount that we may have to pay. While the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome will have a material adverse effect,
individually, or in the aggregate, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Merger
Liabilities
The following table summarizes the merger liabilities balance and activity associated with our acquisitions,
all of which relates to facilities, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011:

H. Legal Proceedings
On July 12, 2002, Amer Jneid and other related plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Orange County, alleging claims for breach of contract, fraud in the inducement,
misrepresentation, infliction of emotional distress, rescission, slander and other claims against us in connection with our purchase of so-called DeFrame technology from the plaintiffs and two affiliated corporations (TriPole Corporation
and Novetrix), and employment agreements that we entered into with the plaintiffs in connection with the purchase. The complaint sought unspecified damages, including punitive damages. The dispute (resulting in these claims)
11

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
H. Legal Proceedings (Continued)
arises out of the plaintiffs assertion that we failed to properly account for license distributions which the plaintiffs claim would have entitled them to certain bonus payouts under the
purchase and employment agreements. After a lengthy jury trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the various plaintiffs on certain contract claims and in favor of us on various remaining claims. We then pursued an appeal of the judgment and
the related orders to the California Court of Appeals. We accrued $27.0 million in prior fiscal periods for this matter. As part of the appeal process and during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we posted a $51.5 million bond in conjunction with
our appeal of this judgment. On December 17, 2009, the California Court of Appeals reversed the judgment against us and remanded the case for a new trial. The Court of Appeals also awarded attorneys fees and costs to the plaintiffs
related to certain discovery and trial related fees. Since the reversal by the Court of Appeals, the bond plus interest has been released back to us. In addition, the new trial court has awarded the plaintiffs certain fees and costs associated
with the first trial in the total amount of $4.2 million. We anticipate pursuing an appeal of such award. Notwithstanding any such appeal, we have utilized a portion of the accrued funds to satisfy amounts that have now been paid to the plaintiffs.
These payments have reduced our original accrual to $24.1 million as of January 31, 2011. Preparations for a new trial are now moving forward with the trial tentatively scheduled for April 4, 2011. While there can be no assurance as to the
ultimate disposition of the litigation, we do not believe that its resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On January 20, 2004, the SCO Group, Inc. (SCO) filed suit against us in the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake
County, State of Utah. Upon our motion, the action was removed to the U.S. District Court, District of Utah. SCOs original complaint alleged that our public statements and filings regarding the ownership of the copyrights in UNIX and
UnixWare harmed SCOs business reputation and affected its efforts to protect its ownership interest in UNIX and UnixWare. Our answer set forth numerous affirmative defenses and counterclaims alleging slander of title and breach of contract,
and seeking declaratory actions and actual, special and punitive damages in an amount to be proven at trial. On February 3, 2006, SCO filed a Second Amended Complaint alleging that we had violated supposed non-competition provisions of the
agreement under which we sold certain UNIX-related assets to SCO, that we infringed SCOs copyrights, and that we are engaging in unfair competition by attempting to deprive SCO of the value of the UNIX technology. SCO sought to require us to
assign all copyrights that we have registered in UNIX and UnixWare to SCO, to prevent us from representing that we have any ownership interest in the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights, to require us to withdraw all representations we have made regarding
our ownership of the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights, and to cause us to pay actual, special and punitive damages in an amount to be proven at trial. As a result of SCOs Second Amended Complaint, our wholly-owned subsidiary, SUSE Linux AG
(SUSE), filed a demand for arbitration before the International Court of Arbitration in Zurich, Switzerland, pursuant to a UnitedLinux Agreement in which SCO and SUSE were parties. On August 10, 2007, the
U.S. District Court Judge issued a Memorandum Decision and Order that granted us summary judgment against SCO on significant issues in the litigation. The District Court determined that we own the UNIX copyrights and dismissed certain of
SCOs claims against us. On September 14, 2007, SCO filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On July 16, 2008, the U.S. District Court issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law wherein the
Court determined that SCO did not have authority to enter into an agreement with Sun Microsystems, Inc. in 2003 (the Sun Agreement) and owed us $2.5 million plus prejudgment interest, of which we have since received $0.6 million. The Sun
Agreement included SCOs purported expansion of Suns rights to Unix source code and resulted in Suns distribution of Open Solaris. Based on the Courts ruling, we believe that the purported license of Unix code is invalid. The
Court further concluded that SCOs licenses to Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft) and other SCOsource licensees included an incidental license to Unix SVRX code and therefore we were not entitled to any
proceeds from such licenses. On November 20, 2008, the U.S. District Court entered Final Judgment dismissing SCOs remaining claims against us and awarded us $3.5 million. On November 25, 2008, SCO filed a Notice of Appeal from that
decision to the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 24, 2009, a three Judge Panel from the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion that reversed in part and affirmed in part the District Courts decision. The
Circuit Court affirmed the award to us of $3.5 million but remanded the remainder of the case back to the District Court for trial on the issue of whether the UNIX copyrights had been or should be transferred to SCO. On August 25, 2009, the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court entered an Order appointing an independent Chapter 11 Trustee to manage the SCO bankruptcy estate. On March 30, 2010, the U.S. District Court jury returned a verdict in our favor and determined that we retained the UNIX
and UnixWare copyrights. SCOs subsequent request to set aside the jury verdict was rejected by the Court as was SCOs claims for immediate transfer of UNIX copyrights and a determination that we did not have authority to direct SCO to
waive claims against certain SVRX licensees. On July 7, 2010, SCO filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and on January 20, 2011, oral argument was presented to the Court of Appeals and we are
currently awaiting a decision from the Court. While there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of the litigation, we do not believe that its resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
On November 12, 2004, we filed suit against Microsoft in the U.S. District Court,
District of Utah. We are seeking treble and other damages under the Clayton Act, based on claims that Microsoft eliminated competition in the office productivity software market
12
NOVELL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
H. Legal Proceedings (Continued)
during the time that we owned the WordPerfect word-processing application and the Quattro Pro spreadsheet application. Among other claims, we allege that Microsoft withheld certain critical
technical information about the Windows operating system (Windows) from us, thereby impairing our ability to develop new versions of WordPerfect and other office productivity applications, and that Microsoft integrated certain
technologies into Windows designed to exclude WordPerfect and other applications owned by us from relevant markets. In addition, we allege that Microsoft used its monopoly power to prevent original equipment manufacturers from offering WordPerfect
and other applications to customers. On June 10, 2005, Microsofts motion to dismiss the complaint was granted in part and denied in part. On October 15, 2007, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District
Courts ruling. On March 18, 2008, the United States Supreme Court rejected Microsofts Petition for a Writ of Certiorari seeking to appeal the Fourth Circuits Decision. As a result of these rulings, we elected to proceed with
the remaining claims against Microsoft. On March 29, 2010, the Federal District Court ruled that our underlying claims against Microsoft had been assigned to Caldera, Inc., in connection with the transfer of the DR DOS business by us in
approximately 1996. Accordingly, the court dismissed our complaint against Microsoft. We filed a notice of appeal to the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and oral argument on the case is scheduled to be presented on March 22, 2011.
In November and December 2010, individuals and/or entities claiming to be our stockholders filed putative class action
lawsuits challenging our pending merger with Attachmate. As of March 4, 2011, fourteen actions had been filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (which have been consolidated by Court order), one action had been filed in the Superior Court of
Massachusetts, and four actions had been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Two of the four actions that were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts were voluntarily
dismissed by the plaintiffs. The consolidated Delaware action and the pending Massachusetts actions are brought against the members of our Board of Directors, and all but one of the actions also name us as a defendant. In addition: (i) all of
the actions name Attachmate as a defendant; (ii) three of the actions name Merger Sub as a defendant; (iii) two actions name CPTN as a defendant; and (iv) one action names Microsoft and Elliott Associates, L.P. as defendants.
The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that our directors failed to fulfill their fiduciary duties with regard to our
pending merger with Attachmate by failing to maximize our value to our public stockholders and that the entities named in the complaints aided and abetted those alleged breaches. Three of the pending actions also allege, among other things, that our
directors failed to fulfill their fiduciary duties with regard to the pending patent sale to CPTN. The plaintiffs seek orders that, among other things, certify the cases as class actions, enjoin our merger with Attachmate and/or award plaintiffs and
the putative class damages in the event that our merger with Attachmate is consummated, and award plaintiffs costs and expenses, including attorneys fees. We believe that there are substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and
intend to pursue them vigorously. While there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of the litigation, we do not believe that its resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In February 1999, Banco Panamericano filed a preparatory judicial measure
against Cambridge Technology Partners do Brasil s.c. Ltda (CTP Brazil), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, in the 34
th
Civil Court of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Banco Panamericano claimed that CTP Brazil had breached a 1997 service agreement
between Banco Panamericano and CTP Brazil. On February 8, 2010, Banco Panamericano formally filed an indemnification action seeking damages of approximately $1.1 million. On January 20, 2011, a Brazilian Court ruled that CTP Brazil was
obligated to pay Banco Panamericano $0.7 million, including interest. CTP Brazil accrued $0.7 million for this matter during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. CTP Brazil is pursuing an appeal of this decision to the Sao Paulo Court of Appeals. While
there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of the litigation, we do not believe that its resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the matters discussed above, we are currently party to various legal proceedings and claims involving former employees,
either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these claims will have a material adverse effect,
individually or in the aggregate, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We accrue for
losses that we believe are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate the adequacy of our legal reserves based on our assessment of many factors, including our interpretations of the law and our assumptions about the future outcome of
each case based on current information. It is reasonably possible that our legal reserves could be increased or decreased in the near term based on our assessment of these factors.

Incremental shares of 4.3 million attributable to the assumed exercise of outstanding awards with
exercise prices that were below the average market price (in-the-money) were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the loss for
that period. Incremental shares attributable to options with exercise prices that were at or greater than the average market price for the respective period (out-of-the-money) were excluded from the calculation of diluted (loss) income
per share for the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Out-of-the-money options for the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010 totaled 8.7 million shares and 22.9 million shares,

K. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity-Based Awards
Except for awards outstanding as of the date of the
Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement generally restricts, subject to certain limited exceptions, including, without limitation, Attachmates prior written consent, our ability to issue shares of our common stock during the interim period
between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the merger (or any date on which the Merger Agreement is earlier terminated) (See Note A, Quarterly Financial Statements). As such, no equity grants were made during
the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

During the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010, Germany accounted for 11% of our net revenue. No other
country outside of the U.S. accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue for the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010. For the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010, 67% and 69%, respectively, of our revenue outside the U.S. was in the Europe,
Middle East and Africa region. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for either period presented.
M. Share Repurchase Program
During fiscal 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchase program. There were no
repurchases under the program during the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010. As of January 31, 2011, $33.2 million remains available to be used for repurchasing common stock under the current Board authorization. The Merger Agreement
generally restricts, subject to certain limited exceptions, including, without limitation, Attachmates prior written consent, our ability to repurchase our outstanding common stock during the interim period between the execution of the Merger
Agreement and the consummation of the merger (or any date on which the Merger Agreement is earlier terminated) (See Note A, Quarterly Financial Statements).

N. Recent Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated guidance to improve disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. This update requires entities to present separately (i.e. on a gross basis rather than as one net number), information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of changes in level 3 fair value
measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (our fiscal 2012). As this guidance is only disclosure-related, it will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations.

Overview
Merger with Attachmate Corporation
On November 21, 2010, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Attachmate
Corporation, a Washington corporation (Attachmate), and Longview Software Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate (Merger Sub). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
at the time the merger is effective, each issued and outstanding share of our common stock, other than treasury shares, shares held by Attachmate, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate or us and shares held
by stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive $6.10 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions to closing,
including, among others, (i) the approval by our stockholders; (ii) the expiration or
18
NOVELL, INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Overview (Continued)
termination of the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the
HSR Act), and the approval by the German antitrust authority, the Federal Cartel Office (FCO); (iii) the absence of any law, order or other action enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the merger;
(iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on us; (v) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Patent Purchase Agreement (as defined below); (vi) the accuracy of the parties respective representations and
warranties; (vii) the parties respective compliance with agreements and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement; and (viii) the availability to us and our subsidiaries of cash and cash equivalents equal to approximately $1.03
billion. The waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the merger expired at 11:59 p.m. EDT, on February 2, 2011. The merger was also subject to review and approval by the FCO. Attachmate, with our consent, filed the appropriate
notification in Germany, and the FCO granted clearance to the merger transaction on December 23, 2010 stating that it will not oppose the merger transaction. On February 17, 2011, we held a special meeting of stockholders at which our
stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
Also on November 21, 2010, we entered into a Patent
Purchase Agreement (the Patent Purchase Agreement) with CPTN Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and consortium of technology companies organized by Microsoft Corporation (CPTN). The Patent Purchase Agreement
provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Patent Purchase Agreement, we will sell to CPTN all of our right, title and interest in certain identified issued patents and patent applications for $450 million in cash.
Consummation of the patent sale is subject to certain conditions to closing, including, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the consummation of the patent sale under the HSR Act and certain other
antitrust laws; and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to the consummation of the merger (other than the closing of the patent sale), and the parties to the Merger Agreement shall be ready, willing and able to consummate
the merger, immediately after the closing of the patent sale. On February 2, 2011, we and CPTN each received a request for additional information from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the DOJ)
regarding the patent sale. The requests have the effect of extending the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both parties have substantially complied with the requests, unless the waiting period is earlier terminated. On
March 4, 2011, we and CPTN each certified as to the substantial compliance with our second respective requests. In addition, at the request of the DOJ, we and CPTN each have agreed to provide the DOJ with additional time to review the patent
sale and not to close the patent sale prior to April 12, 2011. We remain committed to working with the DOJ as it conducts its review of the patent sale. We continue to work toward completing the merger as quickly as possible and currently
anticipate that the closing of the merger will occur following the completion of the waiting period and the satisfaction of other closing conditions.
The pendency of these transactions may impact our operations and continuation of historical trends in future periods. Therefore, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations below may not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition for these reasons as well as for other reasons, including the potential realization of the risks identified elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
those identified in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, or other risks and uncertainties we may face. The remainder of this Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations does not take into account or give any effect to the pendency or other potential impact of our merger with Attachmate or the patent sale to CPTN. We believe that the uncertainty associated
with our Board of Directors review of various alternatives to enhance stockholder value, including the pending merger with Attachmate, negatively impacted our operating results during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (Company
Developments).
First Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Summary
In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, total revenue decreased 6% compared to the prior year period. Product and services revenue were
lower by 5% and 10%, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period. The lower product revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period resulted primarily from, we believe, the
uncertainty associated with Company Developments as well as from continued weakness in sales of our legacy products. The lower services revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period is due primarily to lower revenue
from our consulting services customers, which is consistent with our lower software licenses revenue, and lower renewal rates on technical support contracts related to our legacy products. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as measured by
using prior year period foreign currency exchange rates on non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue, unfavorably impacted revenue by $0.5 million, or less than 1%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

NOVELL, INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Overview (Continued)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, total revenue from our Security, Management and
Operating Platforms business unit segment (SMOP) decreased $4.3 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, total revenue from our Collaboration Solutions business unit segment
(CS) decreased $7.4 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year period.
Because much of the revenue we invoice is
deferred and recognized over time, we consider invoicing, or bookings, to be a key indicator of current sales performance and future revenue performance. SMOP and CS product invoicing were both lower by 19% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to, we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company Developments and fewer multi-year renewals.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 78% for the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010. However, total gross profit was lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period,
due primarily to the 6% decrease in total net revenue.
Operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 6%, compared
to 11% for the prior year period. The negative impact to operating margin of the additional expenses related to Company Developments in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 5%. By comparison, the first quarter of fiscal 2010 included a $4.6 million
change in accounting estimate related to fiscal 2009 sales compensation expense that increased operating margin in the quarter by 2%. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as measured by using the prior year period foreign currency exchange
rates on non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses, favorably impacted income from operations by $0.4 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period.
Critical Accounting Policies
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires us to make an accounting estimate based on assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time an accounting estimate is made, and if
different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur periodically could materially change the financial statements. We consider accounting policies related to revenue
recognition and related reserves, impairment of long-term assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, loss contingency accruals and restructurings, and share-based payments to be critical accounting policies due to the judgments and estimation
processes involved in each. For a more detailed explanation of the judgments included in these areas, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.
Results of Operations
Revenue
We sell our software and services primarily to businesses,
government entities, educational institutions, independent hardware and software vendors, resellers, and distributors both domestically and internationally. In our consolidated statements of operations, we categorize revenue as software licenses,
maintenance and subscriptions, and services. Software licenses revenue includes sales of proprietary licenses and certain royalties. Maintenance and subscriptions revenue includes product maintenance agreements and Linux subscriptions. Services
revenue includes professional services, stand-alone technical support, and training.

Revenue in our software licenses category decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to the prior year period as software licenses revenue declined in SMOP. The SMOP software licenses revenue decline was primarily due to a $1.4 million, or 20%, decline in Identity, Access and Compliance Management products, partially offset
by a $0.7 million, or 11%, increase in

Systems and Resource Management products. The Identity, Access and Compliance Management products software licenses revenue decline was attributable primarily to, we believe, the uncertainty
associated with Company Developments.
Revenue in our maintenance and subscriptions category decreased during the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period as maintenance and subscriptions revenue declined by $1.9 million, or 2%, in SMOP and $6.7 million, or 10%, in CS. The SMOP decrease resulted primarily from lower Systems and Resource
Management products maintenance revenue. The decrease in CS maintenance and subscriptions revenue resulted primarily from continued weakness in sales of our legacy products and from, we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company Developments.
The lower services revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period is due primarily to lower
revenue from our consulting services customers, which is consistent with our lower software licenses revenue, particularly the software license revenue decline in Identity, Access and Compliance Management products and lower renewal rates on
technical support contracts related to our legacy products.
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as measured by using
prior period foreign currency exchange rates on non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue, unfavorably impacted total net revenue by $0.5 million, or less than 1%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Revenue from SMOP decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period
primarily as a result, we believe, of the uncertainty associated with Company Developments. SMOP product invoicing decreased 19% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period.
Revenue associated with our Linux Platform Products increased by $0.3 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the
prior year period. Invoicing for Linux Platform Products decreased 20% compared to the prior year period. The lower invoicing for our Linux Platform Products resulted from a decline in both invoicing associated with the Microsoft SLES certificates
and non-Microsoft invoicing. (See the subsection entitled, Microsoft Agreementsrelated revenue of Note B, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 for more details on the Microsoft SLES certificates and related agreements.) The decrease in our non-Microsoft invoicing was due primarily to, we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company
Developments and fewer multi-year renewals.
Revenue from Identity, Access and Compliance Management products decreased $1.5
million, or 5%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period, due primarily to lower Identity, Access and Compliance Management products software license revenue. Invoicing from Identity, Access and Compliance Management
products declined 20% compared to the prior year period. The invoicing declines for Identity, Access and Compliance Management products were due primarily to, we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company Developments and fewer multi-year
renewals.
Revenue from Systems and Resource Management products decreased $1.3 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of fiscal
2011 compared to the prior year period. Invoicing from Systems and Resource Management products decreased 18% compared to the prior year period. The revenue and invoicing declines for Systems and Resource Management products were primarily due to,
we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company Developments and continued weakness in sales of our legacy products.

Revenue from CS decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period
primarily as a result of the mature lifecycle stage of our CS products and, we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company Developments. This is reflected in decreases in combined OES and NetWare-related product revenue of $4.9 million, or 12%,
Collaboration product revenue of $1.4 million, or 7%, and services revenue of $0.7 million, or 11%. Overall, product invoicing for CS decreased 19% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period due primarily to, we believe,
the uncertainty associated with Company Developments and fewer multi-year renewals.
Deferred Revenue
We had total deferred revenue of $592.8 million as of January 31, 2011 compared to $645.9 million and $651.0 million at
January 31, 2010 and October 31, 2010, respectively. Deferred revenue represents revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods primarily under maintenance contracts and subscriptions that are recognized ratably over the
related contract periods, typically one to three years. Deferred revenue related to our agreements with Microsoft is recognized ratably over various related service periods, which can extend up to five years. The decrease in total deferred revenue
of $58.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to October 31, 2010, reflects seasonably lower invoicing, the negative impacts to invoicing from, we believe, the uncertainty associated with Company Developments and the recognition
of $16.1 million of deferred revenue related to our agreement with Microsoft.

Software licenses and maintenance and subscriptions gross profit decreased in the first quarter of
fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the 6% decrease in total net revenue. Despite the lower net revenue, software licenses and maintenance and subscriptions gross margins as a percentage of revenue held constant when
compared to the prior year period, reflecting the results of a continued emphasis on cost containment.
Services gross margins
decreased primarily as a result of the 10% decrease in services revenue and from a deterioration in our services gross margin percentages. Services gross margins decreased as a percentage of sales as we entered into several low margin service
engagements that drove product sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and from expenses not declining as fast as revenue as we have elected to retain certain expertise and capabilities within our services business. Our services offerings are
focused on supporting product sales, not generating stand-alone revenue or profits, in line with our strategic initiatives.

Gross profit was lower in both SMOP and CS in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the
prior year period due primarily to lower revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was essentially flat for both business unit segments.

Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period primarily from a continued
emphasis on cost containment, lower marketing program spend, and lower headcount. Included within sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was a $4.6 million change in accounting estimate related to fiscal 2009 sales
compensation expense that reduced expenses. Sales and marketing headcount was lower by 65 employees, or 7%, at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period.
Product development
Product development expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily from a continued emphasis on cost containment, lower outside services expenses and
lower headcount. Product development headcount decreased by 25 employees, or 2%, at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period.

Results of Operations (Continued)
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period primarily from $10.5
million of expenses related to Company Developments. This increase was partially offset by reduced expenses from a continued emphasis on cost containment, and lower headcount. General and administrative headcount was lower by 25 employees, or 6%, at
the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period.
Restructuring expenses
No restructuring actions were undertaken during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal
2010, we recorded net restructuring expenses of $2.8 million.
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as measured by using the prior year period foreign currency exchange
rates on non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses, unfavorably impacted revenue by $0.5 million, and favorably impacted operating expenses and income from operations by $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Since a large portion of
our recognized revenue is deferred revenue that was recorded at different foreign currency exchange rates, the impact to revenue of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is recognized over time, whereas the impact to expenses is more immediate,
as expenses are recognized at the current foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the time the expense is incurred.

Investment income includes income from short-term investments in the first quarter of fiscal 2011,
and short-term and long-term investments in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Investment income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased compared to the prior year period due primarily to $4.1 million of realized gains on the sale and
liquidation of certain short-term investments during the fiscal quarter, partially offset by lower interest rates.
During the
first quarter of fiscal 2010, we sold two of our auction-rate securities with a book value of $2.1 million for $7.1 million. This resulted in a gain on sale of $5.0 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we also recognized a gain of $0.2
million related to the sale of a direct investment that we had previously fully impaired.
Interest expense and other, net for
the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was comprised primarily of losses associated with foreign currency exchange rate translation as well as losses associated with our equity investment in Open Invention Network, LLC (OIN). Interest expense
and other, net for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was comprised primarily of losses associated with OIN.

Results of Operations (Continued)
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 216%, compared to an
effective tax rate of 28% for the prior year period. Included in the 216% effective tax rate was the impact of a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion of foreign earnings in the current period. Excluding this discrete item, the effective
tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 17%.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 differs
from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the discrete tax effects of the change in assertion with respect to foreign earnings, stock-based compensation, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings.
Net (Loss) Income
The net loss of $17.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $38.1 million lower than the net income reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily as a result of the $30.8 million net
tax expense related to the repatriation of foreign taxable income discussed above.

The Merger Agreement
generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the merger (or any date on which the Merger Agreement is earlier terminated), and
subject to certain limited exceptions, including, without limitation, Attachmates prior written consent, it restricts us from taking certain specified actions during that period, including, without limitation, exceeding a certain amount in
capital expenditures, making certain acquisitions, entering into certain types of contracts and other matters. In addition, one of the conditions to the closing of the merger is that we and our subsidiaries will have available cash and cash
equivalents equal to approximately $1.03 billion. However, there can be no assurances that we and our subsidiaries will have available cash and cash equivalents equal to this amount.
To meet the Merger Agreement condition to have $1.03 billion of cash and cash equivalents, we began unwinding our short-term investment
portfolio and during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 we had net liquidations of the portfolio of $284.7 million, which increased our cash and cash equivalent balances.
As of January 31, 2011, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $515.9 million held in accounts outside the United States. As of January 31, 2011, we have provided $39.4
million for deferred taxes on a portion of our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries pursuant to a planned cash repatriation in connection with the Merger Agreement. As a result of the tax effects of the cash repatriation plan, we released
the remaining valuation allowance of $8.6 million on our foreign tax credits such that the net provision pursuant to the cash repatriation plan was $30.8 million. We have not provided for deferred taxes on the portion of our undistributed earnings
of foreign subsidiaries which are not involved in the cash repatriation plan as such undistributed earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. We consider the earnings to be indefinitely reinvested based on managements overall
business strategy, including anticipated future uses of global cash balances for operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
Our short-term investment portfolio is diversified among security types, industry
groups, and individual issuers. As of January 31, 2011, our short-term investment portfolio includes gross unrealized gains of $2.4 million.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year period primarily due to our efforts to conserve cash and the implementation in the first
quarter of fiscal 2010 of our SAP customer relationship management software system. This software implementation is for internal use only and was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
According to the terms of the agreement under which we have a $20.0 million or 17% interest in OIN, we could be required to make future
cash contributions to OIN, which we would fund with cash from operating activities and cash on hand.
During fiscal 2008, our
Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchase program. There were no repurchases under the program during the first quarters of fiscal 2011
and 2010. As of January 31, 2011, $33.2 million remains available to be used for repurchasing common stock under the current Board authorization. The Merger Agreement generally restricts, subject to certain limited exceptions, including,
without limitation, Attachmates prior written consent, our ability to repurchase our outstanding common stock during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the merger (or any date on which the
Merger Agreement is earlier terminated).
There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations as disclosed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.
Our principal sources of liquidity
continue to be from operating activities, cash on hand, and short-term investments. Our liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond are principally for the financing of fixed assets, any repurchases of common stock under our share
repurchase plan, payments under prior restructuring plans, product development investments, and maintaining flexibility in a dynamic and competitive operating environment.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, we currently anticipate being able to fund these liquidity needs for the next twelve months with existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments together with
cash generated from operating activities and investment income, however, there can be no assurances in that regard. We believe that offerings of equity or debt securities are possible for expenditures beyond the next twelve months, if the need
arises, although such offerings may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, and are dependent on market conditions at such time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At January 31, 2011, we had no
off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by applicable SEC rules.
Recent Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated guidance to improve disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. This update requires entities to present separately (i.e. on a gross basis rather than as one net number), information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of changes in level 3 fair value
measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (our fiscal 2012). As this guidance is only disclosure-related, it will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
