OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management (Management) of Openwave Systems Inc. (the Company), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the nine
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form
10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results for the full fiscal year or any future period could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in fiscal 2005 as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

Revenues previously reported separately as project/systems revenues in the condensed consolidated statement of
operations have been combined with professional services revenues. Accordingly, cost of revenues previously reported separately as project/systems cost of revenues have been combined with professional services cost of revenues.

Revenue Recognition

There have been no material changes to
our revenue recognition policy from the information provided in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2005, with the exception of the change in policy
regarding recognition of revenue on arrangements previously not deemed probable for collection.

As of the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the
Company revised its policy regarding the determination factor for deferrals of revenue recognition for arrangements deemed not probable for collection. Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company continued to defer revenue
recognition on arrangements originally deemed not probable for collection until the receipt of cash from that arrangement. As of the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company revised the policy such that revenue on arrangements previously
deemed not probable for collection which are subsequently deemed probable for collection are recognized in the period of the change in the assessment of collectibility, rather than upon receipt of cash, provided all other revenue recognition
criteria have been satisfied. This change in policy did not have a material impact for the three or nine month periods ended March 31, 2006.

During
the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company entered into a significant contract with Sprint Nextel (formerly Sprint) to provide a managed service software and system solution. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Company
agreed to provide the following products and services in exchange for software custom modification and installation milestone payments, license fee payments and ongoing service payments: software; third-party software and hardware; maintenance and
support and new version coverage; third-party maintenance and support and new version coverage; implementation services, including significant customization, modification and development of the software and third-party software; and ongoing managed
services for the software system/solution. The software custom modification and installation milestone fees are due when certain progress milestones are achieved; the license fees are due within twelve months from final acceptance of the solution;
and the ongoing

service payments are due when services are performed. The software custom modification and installation fees were cancelable or refundable to the extent of
approximately $15.7 million if the Company did not satisfy certain customer specified acceptance testing. Since the Company believed delivery against this acceptance testing was reasonably assured and that the customer will satisfy their contractual
obligations, the Company recognized revenue based upon the proportional performance on the project, which was derived using labor hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated labor hours. In December 2005, the Company received certification of
final acceptance from Sprint Nextel, and no amounts are refundable.

Stock Based Compensation

(a) Change in Accounting Principle

Effective
July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R. Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R)
using the modified prospective method, in which compensation cost was recognized based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for (a) all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) for all awards granted to employees prior to
the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.

As permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting
for stock-based awards to employees through June 30, 2005. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options and nonvested stock grants was measured as the excess, if any, of the market price of the Companys common stock at the date of
grant over the exercise price. The majority of stock-based compensation expense prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R related to nonvested stock grants which have an exercise price below market price (typically the exercise price is $0.00), or to
common stock issued to employees under retention agreements (refer to Note 5). The following table illustrates stock-based compensation recognized in the income statement by category of award (in thousands):

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded a $0.2 million tax benefit related to stock
option expense recognized during the period.

With the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company elected to amortize stock-based compensation for awards granted
on or after the adoption of SFAS 123R on July 1, 2005 on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period for the entire award. For awards granted prior to July 1, 2005, compensation costs were amortized in a manner
consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. This is the same manner applied in the pro
forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

(b) Summary of Plans

On October 16, 2005, the Companys 1995 Plan (formerly the Software.com, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan) (the 1995 Stock Plan) expired, and, accordingly, options can no longer be granted from the
1995 Stock Plan. A total of 17,743,215 shares of common stock had previously been authorized for issuance under the 1995 Stock Plan. As of March 31, 2006, options to purchase a total of 6,359,160 shares were outstanding under the 1995 Stock
Plan.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company is authorized to issue up to 11,285,399 shares of common stock in connection with its 1996 Stock Plan
(formerly the Phone.com, Inc. 1996 Stock Plan) (the 1996 Stock Plan) to directors, employees and consultants. Under the 1996 Stock Plan, options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Vesting periods are determined by the
Board of Directors and generally provide for shares to vest ratably over a period of three to four years, with options for new employees generally including a one-year cliff period. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had a total of 1,021,625
shares of common stock available for grant, and options to purchase a total of 3,428,285 shares were outstanding under the 1996 Plan. Additionally, options to purchase 10,666 shares under several other plans from which options are no longer granted
are outstanding as of March 31, 2006.

The Openwave Systems Inc. 1999 Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Stock Plan)

shares of the Companys common stock have been reserved for issuance. Options and awards granted to new or existing Outside Directors under the
Directors Stock Plan vest ratably over a period of three years. The Directors Stock Plan also provides for the acceleration of options upon the dismissal of the Outside Director from the Board upon or within twenty-four months following
a change in control of the Company. The exercise price of options granted under the Directors Stock Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonvested shares granted
under the Directors Stock Plan is $0.00. Under the Directors Stock Plan, stock option grants have a term of ten years. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had a total of 300,002 shares of common stock available for grant, and options
for a total of 314,498 shares were outstanding under the Directors Stock Plan.

The Openwave Systems Inc. 2001 Stock Compensation Plan (2001
Stock Plan) provides for the issuance of non-statutory stock options, nonvested stock bonus awards and nonvested stock purchase awards to directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The 2001 Stock Plan serves as the successor to
certain plans of the Company and plans acquired by the Company. No further grants will be made under the predecessor plans; however, each outstanding option granted under a predecessor plan shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions
of the predecessor plan under which it was granted. A total of 4,068,128 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2001 Stock Plan. Under the 2001 Stock Plan, the exercise price for nonstatutory options is determined by the
plan administrator and may be above or below the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Options issued under the 2001 Stock Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Vesting periods are determined by
the plan administrator and generally provide for shares to vest ratably over a period of three to four years, with options for new employees generally including a one-year cliff period. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had a total of 272,387
shares of common stock available for grant, and options for a total of 614,169 shares were outstanding under the 2001 Stock Plan.

Certain outstanding
stock purchase rights are subject to a nonvested stock purchase agreement whereby the Company has the right to repurchase the stock upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchasers employment with the Company at the
purchasers exercise price. The Companys repurchase right lapses at a rate determined by the stock plan administrator but at a minimum rate of 20% per year. Through March 31, 2006, the Company has issued 4,539,552 shares under
nonvested stock purchase agreements, of which 684,485 shares have been repurchased and 1,777,944 shares remain subject to repurchase at a weighted-average purchase price of $0.00 per share.

(c) Summary of Assumptions and Activity

The fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the
Companys common stock. Expected terms (in years) are derived from the average midpoint between vesting and the contractual term, as described in the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment.
Risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

##### Table of Contents

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of 77,780 share options held by the
former CEO and director of the Company. As a result of that modification, the Company recognized additional compensation expense of $0.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on July 1, 2005, the Companys income before income taxes and net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2006, was lower by $5.4 million and $19.6 million, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 would have been
$0.16 and $0.36, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R compared to reported diluted net income per share of $0.10 and $0.13, respectively.

(d) Pro-Forma Disclosure for Three and Nine Months ended March 31, 2005

If the fair value based method
prescribed by SFAS 123 had been applied in measuring employee stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, the pro-forma effect on net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows (in thousands,
except per share amounts):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On February 3, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-4 Classification of Options and Similar Instruments upon the Occurrence of a
Contingent Event (FSP 123R-4). FSP 123R-4 clarifies paragraphs 32 and A229 of FAS 123R that require awards under share-based payment plans to be classified as liabilities in the event that an entity could be required under any
circumstance to settle the award by transferring cash or other assets. With the clarification in FSP 123R-4, a cash settlement feature that can be exercised only upon the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employees control
does not meet the condition in paragraphs 32 and A229 until it becomes probable that the event will occur. The Company has adopted FSP 123R-4 and has been compliant since its adoption of FAS 123R in July 2005. The adoption has not had a material
effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3 Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (FSP 123R-3). The alternative transition method includes simplified
methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated
statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R. The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in FSP 123R-3 for calculating the
tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123R and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 18, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-2
Practical Accommodation to the Application of Grant Date as Defined in FASB Statement No. 123(R) (FSP 123R-2). FSP 123R-2 provides guidance about the mutual understanding by the employee and employer of the key
terms and conditions of a share-based payment award that is one of the criteria for determining the grant date under SFAS 123R. Under FSP 123R-2, a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of an award is presumed to exist at the date the
award is approved in accordance with the relevant corporate governance requirements if (a) the recipient does not have the ability to negotiate the key terms and conditions of the award with the employer and (b) the key terms of the award
are expected to be communicated to all of the recipients within a relatively short period of time from the date of approval. The Company has adopted FSP 123R-2 and has been compliant since its adoption of FAS 123R in July 2005. The adoption has not
had a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On June 29, 2005, the FASB ratified
the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvement (Issue 05-6). Issue 05-6 provides that the amortization period used for leasehold improvements acquired
in a business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease be the shorter of (a) the useful life of the assets or (b) a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are reasonably assured upon the acquisition or
the purchase. The provisions of Issue 05-6 are effective on a prospective basis for leasehold improvements purchased or acquired beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of Issue 05-6 to have a material
effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2) Net Income Per Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share,basic net income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase. The following table reconciles the number of shares used in the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented, (in thousands):

The Company excludes potentially dilutive securities from its diluted net income per share computation when their
effect would be anti-dilutive to the net income per share computation. The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that are not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for
the periods indicated below (in thousands):

foreign currency translation adjustments for the UK company is recognized in other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as opposed to other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. On
January 31, 2006, the Company acquired Musiwave, which is considered a Euro functional entity. As such, foreign currency translation adjustments for Musiwave are recognized in other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet. The foreign currency translation adjustment for Musiwave was immaterial in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

(5) Acquisitions

approximately $116.6 million (the Initial Consideration). The Initial Consideration consists of the payment of cash consideration of $114.2 million and transaction costs of $2.4 million, consisting primarily of professional fees incurred

##### Table of Contents

In addition to the Initial Consideration, Openwave may pay contingent consideration amounts relating to a
performance-based earn out (Earn Out) and a retention agreement (Holdback Amount). The maximum amount potentially payable under the Earn Out is 15.0 million, or approximately $17.9 million using the exchange rate as of
March 31, 2006, and is payable with a mixture of cash and common stock. The exact proportions of cash and common stock shall be determined by the Company prior to the payment date, provided that the cash portion shall not be less than 43.7%.
The Earn Out is contingent upon Musiwave achieving certain financial targets during calendar year 2006, and is expected to be paid, if applicable, shortly thereafter. Any Earn Out payments made will be accounted for as additional purchase price and
will increase goodwill and are to be paid in Euros when the contingency is resolved.

The maximum amount potentially payable for the Holdback Amount is
approximately 2.3 million, or $2.7 million, for retention of certain key employees of Musiwave for an 18 month period beginning January 13, 2006. Sixty percent of the Holdback Amount also secures against potential claims and litigation
under the Amended Agreement. The Holdback Amount will be amortized over the 18 month period as compensation expense.

The acquisition supports the
Companys strategic focus to help its global customer base rapidly deploy revenue-generating communication, information and entertainment services to consumers. The results of Musiwave have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements since January 14, 2006.

Acquisition of Magic4

On July 30, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding issued share capital of Magic4, a leading provider of messaging software for mass-market mobile phones, for initial aggregate consideration of $72.0
million (the Initial Consideration). The Initial Consideration consists of the following: (i) the payment of cash consideration of $54.2 million, (ii) the issuance of 1,135,712 shares of the Companys common stock with an
aggregate value of $12.3 million, (iii) Loan Notes in the amount of $3.8 million, and (iv) transactions costs of $1.7 million, consisting primarily of professional fees incurred related to attorneys, accountants and valuation advisors, and
transfer taxes. The shares issued were valued at $12.3 million based upon 3-day weighted average closing price through the closing date of the acquisition. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had paid all of the Initial Consideration. The Loan
Notes and accrued interest were repaid on April 30, 2005.

In addition to the Initial Consideration, the Company agreed to additional contingent
consideration consisting of 1,135,730 shares of the Companys common stock with an aggregate value of $12.3 million, based on the fair value of the common stock at the closing date, to be issued to the former holders of share capital of Magic4
on a pro-rata basis (the Contingent Consideration). Payment of the Contingent Consideration was contingent upon the continued employment of certain key employees of Magic4 with the Company for specified periods extending through January
2006. These key employees were also holders of the share capital of Magic4. On January 31, 2005, July 30, 2005, and January 31, 2006, the Company issued the first, second and final installments of the contingent consideration
comprising 113,570, 454,273, and 567,887 shares of common stock to the former holders of the share capital of Magic4. The amount of the first, second and final installments issued to the key employees was 24,918, 93,281, and 119,857 shares,
respectively, resulting in stock-based compensation expense of $339,000, $1.7 million and $2.6 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2005, September 30, 2005, and March 31, 2006, respectively, based upon the fair value of the
stock at the dates of issuance. The fair value of the remaining 88,652, 360,992 and 448,030 shares issued to the non-employee shareholders in the first, second and final installments was $1.2 million, $6.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively, and
was recorded as additions to goodwill. The sum of Initial Consideration and Contingent Consideration, excluding consideration paid to the key employees discussed above, paid as of March 31, 2006, was $89.6 million.

(6) Convertible Subordinated Notes

On September 9, 2003, the
Company issued $150.0 million of 23/4% convertible subordinated notes (the Notes), due
September 9, 2008. The Notes are recorded on the Companys consolidated balance sheet net of a $4.1 million discount, which is being amortized over the term of the Notes using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective
interest rate method. Approximately $206,000 and $619,000 of the discount was amortized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, equal to approximately $207,000 and $619,000 for the corresponding periods of the prior
fiscal year. The notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and are convertible into shares of the Companys common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $18.396 per share, or approximately
8.2 million shares in aggregate. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at any time on or after September 9, 2006, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes to be redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on such notes until, but not including, the redemption date, if the closing price of the Companys common stock has exceeded 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period
of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the mailing date of the optional redemption notice. Each holder may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holders Notes upon occurrence of specified change in
control events. The Company incurred $900,000 of costs in connection with the issuance of the Notes, which were deferred and included in Deposits and other assets.

##### Table of Contents

The finance costs are being recognized as interest expense over the term of the notes using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective
interest rate method. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 the Company amortized debt issuance costs of approximately $45,000 and $135,000, equal to $45,000 and $135,000 for the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.
Interest on the Notes began accruing in September 2003 and is payable semi-annually in March and September. The Company used approximately $12.1 million of the net proceeds to purchase a portfolio of U.S. government securities that has been pledged
to secure the payment of the first six scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the Notes. The Notes are otherwise unsecured obligations. At March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, the balance of the pledged securities was $2.0 million and
$6.1 million, respectively, and was recorded as restricted cash and investments within the Companys consolidated balance sheets.

(7) Commitments
and Contingencies

Litigation

IPO securities class action. On November 5, 2001, a purported securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In re Openwave Systems, Inc. (sic)
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). It is brought purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the
Companys common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The defendants are the Company and five of the Companys former officers (the Openwave Defendants), and several investment banking firms that served
as underwriters of the Companys initial public offering and secondary public offering. Three of the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice, subject to an agreement extending the statute of limitations, through December 31,
2003. The complaint alleges liability as under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the offerings did not disclose
that: (1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase
additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued. No specific damages are claimed. Similar allegations were made in over 300 lawsuits challenging public offerings
conducted in 1999 and 2000, and the cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes.

The Company has accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer
defendants. Plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Openwave Defendants, in exchange for a contingent payment by the insurance companies responsible for insuring the issuers, and for the assignment or surrender of control of
certain claims the Company may have against the underwriters. The Openwave Defendants will not be required to make any cash payment in the settlement, unless the pro rata amount paid by the insurers in the settlement exceeds the amount of insurance
coverage, a circumstance which the Company does not believe will occur. The settlement requires approval of the Court, which cannot be assured, after class members are given the opportunity to object to the settlement or opt out of the settlement.
The Court held a hearing on April 24, 2006 to consider whether final approval should be granted and the Company is awaiting a ruling. No amount is accrued as of March 31, 2006, as a loss is not considered probable and reasonably estimable.

Indemnification claims.The Companys software license and services agreements generally include a limited indemnification provision
for claims from third parties relating to the Companys intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As of March 31, 2006, no amount
is accrued for indemnifications.

(8) Restructuring and Other Related Costs

As a result of the Companys change in strategy and its desire to improve its cost structure, the Company announced five separate restructurings during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005, 2003 and 2002.
These restructurings included the fiscal year 2006 restructuring (FY2006 Restructuring), the 2005 restructuring (FY2005 Restructuring), the 2003 fourth quarter restructuring (FY2003 Q4 Restructuring), the fiscal year 2003 first quarter restructuring
(FY2003 Q1 Restructuring), and the fiscal year 2002 restructuring (FY2002 Restructuring).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, restructuring and
other related costs relate to accretion expense related to the measurement of restructuring liabilities at net present value.

During the quarter ended
December 31, 2005, the Company entered into a non-binding agreement with a potential subtenant for properties that are included in the Companys FY2005 Restructuring and FY2003 Q1 Restructuring plans. As such, the Company reassessed its
estimated obligation and sublease income related to these properties, resulting in a net reduction of $2.1 million in restructuring expense recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, which was partially offset by $0.8 million in
accretion expense related to the measurement of restructuring liabilities at net present value. During this reassessment, an error

##### Table of Contents

was noted with respect to the rent obligations in the FY2003 Q1 Restructuring, which had resulted in a cumulative understatement of the restructuring
liability for periods prior to the three months ended December 31, 2005 of approximately $1.0 million. The effect of the error was not material to any relevant prior period. To correct this error, $1.0 million was recorded as an increase in the
restructuring liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and a corresponding $1.0 million restructuring expense was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended
December 31, 2005.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company implemented the FY2006 Restructuring to better distribute the
Companys resources among its client and server product groups. In addition, the Company incurred further facilities-related charges under the FY2005 Restructuring as it ceased using information technology labs in the prior headquarters during
the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Restructuring and related expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 totaled $8.3 million, which included $3.7 million in facilities and accretion-related charges, $4.2 million in severance
and relocation costs, and $0.4 million in accelerated depreciation related to a revision in the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements and furniture in the sites exited under the FY2006 Restructuring. The accelerated depreciation was a
non-cash charge and is not included in the restructuring liability table below. The associated restructuring expense for excess facilities was recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 upon the cease-use dates in accordance
with FAS 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

Restructuring and other related costs in the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2005 related primarily to a $4.9 million accelerated depreciation charge taken during the three months ended March 31, 2005 related to a revision in the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements and certain
furniture in our previous headquarters in association with the FY2005 Restructuring, offset by a $0.5 million decrease in charges for other restructuring plans based upon sublease agreements. Other charges during the nine months ended March 31,
2005 relate to early termination clauses or sublease activity on previously restructured properties.

The following table
sets forth the restructuring liability activity through March 31, 2006 (in thousands):

(9) Equity Offering

In December 2005, the Company sold 17.9 million shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds, net of offering costs, were $277.8 million. A portion of the proceeds was used to fund the recent acquisition of
Musiwave discussed under Acquisitions (Note 5) above.

(10) Gain on Sale of Technology and Other

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company sold certain intangible assets to a third party for $3.8 million in cash. This amount was received by the
Company in March 2006 and was recorded in operating income under gain on sale of technology and other. These intangible assets had no book value as of the date of the sale.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold an intangible asset to a third party for $3.25 million in cash. This amount was received by the Company in December 2005 and was recorded in operating
income under gain on sale of technology and other. The intangible asset had no book value as of the date of the sale.

During the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, the Company sold certain intellectual property relating to a non-core product. The gain of $4.3 million relates to the sale proceeds of $5.0 million less the associated legal and professional fees totaling $0.7 million. The
Company will continue to provide services to its customers who have purchased the product from the Company under a reseller agreement entered into with the buyer of the technology. In addition, contingent sale proceeds of $1.3 million will be
received by the Company on the later of September 12, 2006 or the date on which there are no unresolved indemnification claims. Such indemnification claims, if any, could reduce the amount of contingent consideration. To date there have been no
such claims made.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our business and prospects for our future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and other
significant areas that involve Managements judgment and estimates. These significant accounting policies are:



| |  |  | Revenue recognition
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | Allowance for doubtful accounts
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | Impairment assessment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Stock-based compensation
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | Restructuring-related assessments
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

These policies and our procedures
related to these policies are described in detail below. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies and judgments, please refer to the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q and to our
audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Stock-based compensation

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, in which
compensation cost was recognized based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for (a) all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain
unvested on the effective date. SFAS 123R requires the use of judgment and estimates in performing multiple calculations. We have estimated the expected volatility as an input into the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation formula when assessing the fair
value of options granted. Our estimate of volatility was based upon the historical volatility experienced in our stock price. To the extent volatility of our stock price increases in the future, our estimates of the fair value of options granted in
the future could increase, thereby increasing stock-based compensation expense in future periods. For instance, an estimate in volatility ten percentage points higher would have resulted in a $0.8 million increase in the fair value of options
granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. In addition, we apply an expected forfeiture rate when amortizing stock-based compensation expense. Our estimate of the forfeiture rate was based primarily upon historical experience of employee
turnover. To the extent we revise this estimate in the future, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision, as well as in following quarters. An estimated forfeiture rate of one percentage point lower
since adoption of SFAS 123R would have resulted in a change of less than $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Our expected term of options granted was derived from the average midpoint between
vesting and the contractual term, as described in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. In the future, as information regarding post vesting termination becomes more accessible, we may change our
method of deriving the expected term. This change could impact our fair value of options granted in the future.

Restructuringrelated
assessments

As of March 31, 2006, we have assumed $36.0 million of sublease income from potential tenants that have not yet been identified.
This assumed amount is netted from our total lease liability when estimating our net restructuring liability. Our sublease estimates are reviewed quarterly with third-party real-estate professionals. If estimates regarding future sublease income
change, we could be required to record additional restructuring costs.

Summary of Operating Results

Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

Revenues

We generate four different types of revenues. License revenues are primarily associated with the
licensing of our software products to communication service providers and wireless device manufacturers; maintenance and support revenues are derived from providing support services to communication service providers and wireless device
manufacturers; professional services revenues are primarily a result of providing deployment and integration consulting services to communication service providers; and content delivery revenues which are derived from downloaded music and
entertainment content.

License Revenues

License revenues increased by 20% and 18%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase was primarily
due to two large deals signed during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 which contained site licenses for our client products and generated recognized license fees totaling $25.6 million during the quarter.

Maintenance and Support Revenues

Maintenance and
support revenues decreased by 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The decrease was attributable to the timing of a large renewal occurring in April 2006 instead of March 2006, as
well as a reduction in maintenance renewal amounts for Sprint Nextel following their merger in August 2005.

Maintenance and support revenues increased by
4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase was attributable to growth in software licenses that are under support contracts.

Services Revenues

Services revenue decreased by 26%
and for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributed to the finalization of two large systems projects since March 2005 which yielded $12.7 million in
revenue in the prior period. This decrease was partially offset by increases in various other projects and services provided in relation to our product upgrades on our existing technology and other value-added services to our customers.

##### Table of Contents

Services revenue increased by 4% in the nine months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period of
the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in the number of custom and extended solutions projects as well as an increase in services provided in relation to our product upgrades on our existing technology and other
value-added services to our customers.

Content Delivery Revenues

Content delivery revenues increased during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 due to the acquisition of Musiwave in January 2006. Musiwave provides downloadable music and other entertainment, which
comprised the $7.5 million of content delivery revenue in the periods ended March 31, 2006. Content delivery revenues are associated with the variable amounts charged to customers for downloads of Musiwave products. Revenues for implementation
services and customer support are included in Services revenues and Maintenance and support services revenues, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Cost of License Revenues

Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party license fees and amortization of developed technology and customer contract intangible assets related to our acquisitions.

Costs of license revenues increased by $1.1 million and $4.1 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 was attributable to increases in royalties in connection with the increases in license revenue during the same periods.

Cost of Maintenance and Support Revenues

Cost of
maintenance and support revenues consists of compensation and related overhead costs for personnel engaged in support services to wireless device manufacturers and communication service providers.

Cost of maintenance and support decreased by $1.6 million, or 18%, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period of the
prior year. This decrease was the result of a reduction of $1.4 million in labor expense based upon a reduction of 24 headcount in this group from the prior year, as well as an associated $0.5 million reduction in allocated costs for facilities and
information technology. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005 (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

Cost of maintenance and support increased by $0.7 million, or 3%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding
period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005.

Cost of Services Revenues

Cost of services revenues
consists of compensation and independent consultant costs for personnel engaged in performing professional services, hardware purchased for resale, and related overhead.

Cost of services decreased by $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily related to a reduction of labor and
project related costs of $4.5 million from the same period in the prior year, following the finalization of the Sprint Nextel project in December 2005. This decrease was partially offset by the $0.5 million in cost of services incurred by Musiwave
which was acquired in January 2006, and a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005.

Cost of services increased by $3.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in labor and project
related costs from the same period in the prior year, reflecting the increase in demand for our services over the same timeframe. Accordingly, allocations of facilities and information technology costs increased by $0.6 million during the timeframe
due to the increase in resources to meet the increase in demand. Stock-based compensation expense increased by $1.2 million from the nine months in the prior year due to the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005. Additionally, Musiwave
incurred $0.5 million in cost of services during the period since it was acquired in January 2006.

Cost of Content Delivery Revenues

Cost of content delivery revenues increased during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 due to the acquisition of Musiwave in January
2006.

Cost of content delivery revenues consist primarily of royalties associated with customer downloads of Musiwave products. Costs associated with
implementation services and customer support are included in Services costs and Maintenance and support services costs, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist principally of salary and benefit expenses for software developers, contracted development efforts, related facilities costs,
and expenses associated with computer equipment used in software development. We believe that investments in research and development, including recruiting and hiring of software developers, are critical to remain competitive in the marketplace and
directly relate to continued timely development of new and enhanced products. While we continue to focus our attention on research and development, we undertook initiatives during our restructuring efforts during the three months ended
September 30, 2005 to redistribute some of our research and development work offshore as well as increase our use of outside consultants.

During the
three months ended March 31, 2006, research and development costs decreased $3.8 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This decrease is a result of our FY2006 restructuring implemented during the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 which consolidated certain engineering sites and reduced headcount which resulted in a decrease of $4.9 million in employee and allocation-related costs. This savings was partially offset by the adoption of SFAS 123R as of
July 1, 2005 which resulted in an increase of $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, research and development costs decreased $3.0 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This
decrease is a result of our FY2006 restructuring implemented during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 which consolidated certain engineering sites and reduced headcount which resulted in a decrease of $7.8 million in employee and
allocation-related costs. This savings was partially offset by the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 1, 2005, which resulted in an increase of $4.9 million of stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2006
compared to the same period in the prior year.

Research and development expenses decreased to 19% and 21% of revenues for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2006 compared to 24% and 25% in the corresponding periods of the prior year, as a result of the restructuring efforts discussed above.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses include salary and benefit expenses, sales commissions,
travel expenses, and related facility costs for our sales and marketing personnel, and amortization of customer relationship intangibles. Sales and marketing expenses also include the costs of trade shows, public relations, promotional materials,
redeployed professional service employees and other market development programs.

##### Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, sales and marketing costs increased by $7.1 million compared to the
corresponding period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the adoption of SFAS 123R which resulted in an increase of $5.6 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in sales and marketing expenses compared to the
same period in the prior year. In addition, employee and associated allocation-related expenses increased $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of an increase of 100
headcount in this group. These increases were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in marketing costs from the prior year as services from external providers were decreased during the current year.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, sales and marketing costs increased by $16.8 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase was
primarily attributable to the adoption of SFAS 123R which resulted in an increase of $13.9 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in sales and marketing expenses compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition, employee and
associated allocation-related expenses increased $4.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of additions to headcount in this group. These increases were partially offset
by a $1.7 million decrease in marketing costs from the prior year as services from external providers were decreased during the current year.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salary and benefit expenses, travel
expenses, and facility costs for our finance, human resources, legal, information services and executive personnel. General and administrative expenses also include outside legal and accounting fees, provision for doubtful accounts, and expenses
associated with computer equipment and software used in administration of the business.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, general and
administrative costs increased $4.8 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This increase was attributable to the increase in labor expense of $2.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year as a result of
an increase in headcount in this group of 36 from March 31, 2005. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 2005 resulted in an increase of $2.5 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in general and administrative expenses
in the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Additionally, we incurred $0.4 million in expense related to the accrual of a retention bonus related to certain key employees of Musiwave 
see discussion regarding the Holdback Amount in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended March 31,
2006, general and administrative costs increased $17.0 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This increase was attributable to the increase in labor expense of $8.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior
year as a result of an increase in headcount. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123R as of July 2005 resulted in an increase of $8.1 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended
March 31, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Consulting fees to external firms increased by $2.7 million as a result of increased Sarbanes-Oxley compliance review costs and general consulting costs. Additionally, we
incurred $0.4 million in expense related to the accrual of the Holdback Amount discussed above. These increases were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in bad debt expense as a result of a reduction in the specifically identified
receivables for reserve and a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation expense as certain assets became fully depreciated during the period.

Restructuring and Other Related Costs

As a result of our change in strategy and our desire to improve our cost structure, we announced five
separate restructurings during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005, 2003 and 2002. These restructurings included the fiscal year 2006 restructuring (FY2006 Restructuring), the 2005 restructuring (FY2005 Restructuring),
the 2003 fourth quarter restructuring (FY2003 Q4 Restructuring), the fiscal year 2003 first quarter restructuring (FY2003 Q1 Restructuring), and the fiscal year 2002 restructuring (FY2002 Restructuring).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, restructuring and other related costs of $0.8 million relate to accretion expense related to the measurement
of our restructuring liabilities at net present value.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we entered into a non-binding agreement with a
potential subtenant for properties that are included in our FY2005 Restructuring and FY2003 Q1 Restructuring plans. As such, we have reassessed our estimated obligation and sublease income related to these properties, resulting in a net reduction of
$2.1 million in restructuring expense recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. This reduction in expense was partially offset by $0.8 million in accretion expense related to the measurement of our restructuring liabilities at net
present value.

##### Table of Contents

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we implemented the FY2006 Restructuring to better align our resources
among our client and server product groups. In addition, we incurred further facilities-related charges under the FY2005 Restructuring as we ceased using information technology in the prior headquarters during the quarter ended September 30,
2005. Restructuring and related expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 totaled $8.3 million, which included $3.7 million in facilities and accretion-related charges, $4.2 million in severance and relocation costs, and $0.4 million
in accelerated depreciation related to a revision in the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements and furniture in the sites exited under the FY2006 Restructuring. The associated restructuring expense for excess facilities was recorded in the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 upon the cease-use dates in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Restructuring and other related costs in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005 related primarily to a $4.9 million accelerated depreciation charge taken
during the three months ended March 31, 2005 related to a revision in the estimated useful life of leasehold improvements and certain furniture in our previous headquarters in association with the FY2005 Restructuring, offset by a $0.5 million
decrease in charges for other restructuring plans based upon sublease agreements. Other charges during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 relate to early termination clauses or sublease activity on previously restructured properties.

As of March 31, 2006, we estimated $40.3 million of sublease income from third parties on these facilities. Included in the $40.3 million estimate is
$36.0 million of sublease income from potential tenants that have not yet been identified. Estimates of sublease income are netted from our total lease liability when estimating our net restructuring liability. If estimates regarding future sublease
income change further, we could be required to record additional restructuring costs of up to $36.0 million.

Amortization of developed and core technology and customer contracts for licenses is included in cost of license
revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The increase in amortization in fiscal year 2005 reflects the increase due to the acquisitions of Magic4 in late July 2004 and Cilys in January 2005.

Amortization of customer contracts for support is included in Cost of revenuesMaintenance and support services.

Amortization of content is included in Cost of revenuesContent and is the result of the acquisition of Musiwave in January 2006.

Amortization of acquired customer relationships, internal use software and other is included in operating expenses. The increase in amortization in fiscal year 2006
reflects the increase due to the acquisition of Musiwave in January 2006.

Gain on Sale of Technology and Other

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company sold certain intangible assets to a third party for $3.8 million in cash. This amount was received by the
Company in March 2006 and was recorded in operating income under gain on sale of technology and other.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we
sold the rights to use a domain name to a third party for $3.25 million in cash. This amount was received in December 2005 and was recorded in operating income under gain on sale of technology and other.

##### Table of Contents

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we sold certain intellectual property relating to a non-core product.
The gain relates to the $5.0 million in sale proceeds less the associated legal and professional fees totaling $0.7 million. We will continue to provide services to our customers who have purchased the product from us in the past under a reseller
agreement entered into with the buyer of the technology. In addition, we expect contingent sale proceeds of $1.3 million to be received by us on the later of September 12, 2006 or the date on which there are no unresolved indemnification
claims. Such indemnification claims, if any, could reduce the amount of contingent consideration. To date there have been no such claims made.

Impairment of Non-Marketable Equity Securities

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, a privately held company which we have a
minority interest in, initiated a new round of funding which reduced our equity interest and estimated valuation by $0.1 million.

Interest Income

Interest income was approximately $5.4 million and $10.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2006, as compared to $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in interest income is primarily due to interest earned on the proceeds from our equity offering in December 2005 which yielded $277.8
million in net proceeds, as well as higher interest rates earned on our investments during the period ended March 31, 2006.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $1.3 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2006, as compared to $1.3 million and $3.9 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The majority of our interest expense relates to our convertible subordinated notes issued in September 2003.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net was
approximately $11,000 and $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $1.5 million and $46,000 for the corresponding periods of the prior year. These amounts primarily related to foreign exchange gains and
losses on foreign denominated assets and liabilities as well as $0.5 million in hedging costs incurred in connection with our euro-denominated purchase price for the acquisition of Musiwave, which was announced in September 2005 and closed in
January 2006.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense consisted of foreign withholding tax, foreign corporate tax and foreign deferred tax. Both foreign withholding tax and foreign corporate tax fluctuate quarterly based on the product and geographic mix of our revenue, with
a resulting fluctuation in quarterly effective tax rate.

Income tax expense was $0.7 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2006 compared to $3.0 million and $7.7 million for the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily related to decreases in foreign
withholding taxes of $0.8 million and additional foreign deferred tax benefits of $1.0 million. The decrease in income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily related to a decrease in foreign income tax expense of
$2.7 and additional foreign deferred tax benefits of $1.8 million, partially offset by an increase in foreign withholding taxes of $1.0 million.

In light
of our history of operating losses we recorded a full valuation allowance for our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until there is sufficient evidence to conclude that it is more likely than
not that the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized. As of March 31, 2006, we have foreign deferred tax assets recorded of approximately $3.3 million in selected countries based upon our conclusion that it is more likely than
not that the foreign subsidiaries in the respective countries will earn future taxable profits enabling the realization of their respective deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2006, we have approximately $18.3 million of deferred tax liabilities
recorded with respect to acquisitions for which the amortization expense of acquired intangibles is not deductible for tax purposes, of which $10.9 million relates to the acquisition of Musiwave. During the three and nine months ended March 31,
2006 respectively, we recorded a benefit of $1.4 million and $2.7 million related to acquisition-related deferred tax liabilities.

We currently have subleased a portion of our unused facilities which will generate sublease income in aggregate of
approximately $5.8 million through our fiscal year 2010.

In November 2004, we purchased developed and core technology from a private company. Included in
the purchase price were contingent payments of $850,000, if specified milestones are satisfied. These milestones are primarily related to future revenues generated from the license of the developed and core technology and would be payable 24 months
from the signing of the purchase agreement.

On January 13, 2006, in connection with our acquisition of Musiwave, in addition to the original
consideration paid for the purchase, we agreed to additional contingent consideration consisting of amounts relating to a performance-based earn out (Earn Out) and a retention agreement (Holdback Amount). The maximum amount
potentially payable under the Earn Out is 15.0 million, or approximately $17.9 million using the exchange rate as of March 31, 2006, and is payable with a mixture of cash and common stock. The exact proportions of cash and stock shall be
determined by Openwave prior to the payment date, provided that the cash portion shall not be less than 43.7%. The Earn Out is contingent upon Musiwave achieving certain financial targets during calendar year 2006, and is expected to be paid, if
applicable, shortly thereafter. Any Earn Out payments made will be accounted for as additional purchase price and will increase goodwill and are to be paid in Euros when the contingency is resolved.

The maximum amount potentially payable for the Holdback Amount is approximately 2.3 million, or $2.7 million using the exchange rate as of March 31, 2006, for
retention of certain key employees of Musiwave for an 18 month period beginning January 13, 2006. Sixty percent of the Holdback Amount also secures against potential claims and litigation under the Amended Agreement. The Holdback Amount will be
amortized over the 18 month period as compensation expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2006, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

We obtained a majority of our cash and investments through prior public offerings, including a common stock
offering in December 2005 which raised $277.8 million in net proceeds. We intend to use the cash provided by such financing activities for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions or other transactions. In addition, we
received approximately $145.7 million from the issuance of our $150 million convertible subordinated notes during the year-ended June 30, 2004. While we believe that our current working capital and anticipated cash flows from operations will be
adequate to meet our cash needs for daily operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, we may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, obtain a credit facility or sell
certain assets. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock, and the terms of any debt could impose restrictions
on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If additional financing
is necessary and we are unable to obtain the additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. In the
meantime, we will continue to manage our cash portfolios in a manner designed to ensure that we have adequate cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations as well as future acquisitions, if any.

Working capital

Our working capital increased by
approximately $191.8 million or 79% from June 30, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to proceeds from issuances of common stock, including the public offering in December 2005 which raised $277.8 million in net
proceeds, and the remainder from employees exercise of stock options during the period. In addition, the increase in cash included net proceeds of $11.3 million received on sales of technology and domain names during the period. Offsetting the
increase in working capital during the period was the acquisition of Musiwave for $113.9 million, net of cash acquired.

Cash provided
by (used for) operating activities

Operating activities provided $5.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an improvement of $22.3
million from a use of $16.7 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. This improvement was primarily attributable to improved

cash from net income excluding non-cash items and the gain on the sale of technology and other of $20.5 million during the nine months ended March 31,
2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of efficiencies gained due to our restructuring efforts and our increase in revenues.

Cash used for investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31,
2006 was $257.8 million, up $213.7 million from $44.1 million used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This change was due to the $78.9 million in purchases of short-term investments, net of proceeds from
maturities of short-term investments during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $16.8 million in proceeds from maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. Purchases of
long-term investments, net of proceeds from maturities long-term investments during the current period increased by $71.8 million over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Additionally, cash used for acquisitions increased $61.3
million during the current period, related to the acquisition of Musiwave.

Cash flows provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $308.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the corresponding period of the
prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to proceeds from issuances of common stock, including the public offering in December 2005 which raised $277.8 million in net proceeds, and the remainder from employees exercise of stock options
during the period ended March 31, 2006.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

(a) Foreign Currency Risk

We operate internationally and are exposed to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. We have entered into foreign exchange
derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to foreign currency rate changes on receivables, payables and intercompany balances denominated in a nonfunctional currency. The objective of these derivatives is to neutralize the impact of foreign
currency exchange rate movements on our operating results. These derivatives may require us to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the inception of the contracts. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements
because the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally offset with the gains and losses of the foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not enter into foreign exchange transactions for trading or
speculative purposes, nor do we hedge foreign currency exposures in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of movement in exchange rates. We do not designate our foreign exchange forward contracts as hedges and, accordingly, we adjust these
instruments to fair value through earnings in the period of change in their fair value. Net foreign exchange transaction losses included in Other expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled
$11,000 and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, we have the following forward contracts (in $000s):

(b) Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and restricted cash and investments of $501.6 million. Our exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury Notes and certificates of deposit. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers that have a

##### Table of Contents

rating by Moodys of A1 or higher and Standard & Poors of P-1 or higher, and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure to any one
issuer. Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are
considered to be cash equivalents; all investments with maturities of three months or greater and less than one year are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be short-term investments; all investments with maturities of greater than
one year and less than two years are classified as available-for-sale and considered to be long-term investments. We do not purchase investments with a maturity date greater than three years from the date of purchase.

The following is a chart of the principal amounts of short-term investments and long-term investments by expected maturity at March 31, 2006 (in thousands):

Additionally, we had $20.0 million of restricted investments that were included within restricted cash and
investments on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006. $17.2 million of the restricted investments comprised a certificate of deposit to collateralized letters of credit for facility leases. $2.0 million of the balance comprises
U.S. government securities pledged for payment of the remaining three semi-annual interest payments due under the terms of the convertible subordinated notes indenture. The remaining balance of $0.8 million comprises a restricted investment to
secure a warranty bond pursuant to a customer contract. The weighted average interest rate on our restricted investments was 3.4% at March 31, 2006.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures



| | (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------

The Companys
management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). We believe that there are always limitations on
the effectiveness of any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, however a control system can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are being met. Based on the evaluation performed, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
are: (1) effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure and; (2) effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting on a timely basis information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed
or submitted under the Exchange Act.



| | (b) | Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
| | --- | -----------------------------------------

There have not been any changes
in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting the internal controls of Musiwave which was acquired during the quarter. Musiwave represents 7% and 3% of Openwaves consolidated revenues and consolidated total assets, respectively, for
the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Management did not assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Musiwave because of the timing of the acquisition.

PART II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

IPO securities class action.

On November 5, 2001, a purported securities fraud class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In re
Openwave Systems, Inc. (sic) Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 01-9744 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.). It is brought purportedly on behalf of all
persons who purchased our common stock from June 11, 1999 through December 6, 2000. The defendants are Openwave and five of our former officers (the Openwave Defendants), and several investment banking firms that served as
underwriters of our initial public offering and secondary public offering. Three of the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice, subject to an agreement extending the statute of limitations, through December 31, 2003. The
complaint alleges liability as under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the offerings did not disclose that:
(1) the underwriters had agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the offerings in exchange for excess commissions paid to the underwriters; and (2) the underwriters had arranged for certain customers to purchase additional
shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The amended complaint also alleges that false analyst reports were issued. No specific damages are claimed. Similar allegations were made in over 300 lawsuits challenging public offerings conducted
in 1999 and 2000, and the cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes.

We have accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants.
Plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Openwave Defendants, in exchange for a contingent payment by the insurance companies responsible for insuring the issuers, and for the assignment or surrender of control of certain claims we
may have against the underwriters. The Openwave Defendants will not be required to make any cash payment in the settlement, unless the pro rata amount paid by the insurers in the settlement exceeds the amount of insurance coverage, a circumstance
which we do not believe will occur. The settlement will require approval of the Court, which cannot be assured, after class members are given the opportunity to object to the settlement or opt out of the settlement. The Court held a hearing on
April 24, 2006 to consider whether final approval should be granted and we are awaiting a ruling. We believe a loss is not probable or estimable. Therefore no amount has been accrued as of March 31, 2006.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in
this quarterly report, before investing in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. You should refer to the other information set forth or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or
incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference herein.

We have a history of losses, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain consistent profitability.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies engaged in rapidly evolving technology markets like ours. We have incurred losses in each
fiscal year since our inception. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we incurred losses of approximately $62.1 million and $29.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$2.6 billion which includes approximately $2.0 billion of goodwill amortization and impairment. We expect to continue to spend significant amounts to develop, enhance or acquire products, services and technologies and to enhance sales and
operational capabilities. We may not achieve or be able to maintain consistent profitability.

Our business faces a number
of challenges including:



| |  |  | our ability to upgrade, develop and maintain our products and effectively respond to the rapid technology changes in wireless and broadband communications;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to anticipate and respond to the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products or services by our competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the rate of growth, if any, in end-user mobile data usage, purchases of data-enabled mobile phones, use of our products, and the growth of wireless data networks generally;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the volume of sales of our products and services by our strategic partners, distribution partners and resellers; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic market conditions and their effect on our operations and the operations of our customers.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing risks and others, our business strategy may not be successful, and we may not adequately
address these challenges to achieve or maintain consistent profitability.

We rely upon a small number of customers for a significant portion of our
revenues and the failure to retain and expand our relationships with these customers would adversely affect our business.

Our customer base consists of
a limited number of large communications service providers and mobile handset manufacturers, which makes us significantly dependent on their plans and the success of their products. Our success, in turn, depends in large part on our continued
ability to introduce reliable and robust products that meet the demanding needs of these customers and their willingness to launch, maintain and market commercial services utilizing our products. Moreover, consolidation among these service providers
further limits the existing and potential pool of customers for us. In this regard, revenue recognized from arrangements with Sprint-Nextel accounted for approximately 20% of our total revenues during the nine months ended March 31, 2006. By
virtue of their size and the significant portion of our revenue that we derive from a select group of customers, these customers are able to exert significant influence in the negotiation of our commercial arrangements and the conduct of our
business with them. If we are unable to retain and expand our business with key customers on favorable terms, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations, and this may cause our stock price to decline in future periods.

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may do so in the future. Our revenue, particularly our licensing revenue, is difficult to forecast and is likely to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Factors that
may lead to significant fluctuation in our operating results include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | delays in or cancellation of orders from key customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the introduction of new products or services, or changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in development, launch, market acceptance or implementation by our customers of our products and services;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in demand and purchasing patterns of our customers for our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restructuring or impairment charges we may take; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential slowdowns or quality deficiencies in the introduction of new telecommunication networks, technologies or handsets for which our solutions are designed.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In particular, our customers often defer execution of our agreements until the last week of the quarter if they elect to purchase our
products. As a result, our visibility into our revenue recognition for future periods is limited. Accordingly, we may not recognize revenue as anticipated during a given quarter when customers defer orders or ultimately elect not to purchase our
products.

Our operating results could also be affected by general industry factors, including a slowdown in capital spending or growth in the
telecommunications industry, either temporary or otherwise, disputes or litigation with other parties, and general political and economic factors, including an economic slowdown or recession, acts of terrorism or war, and health crises or disease
outbreaks.

In addition, our operating results could be impacted by the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to our
business and our ability to accurately estimate and control costs. Most of our expenses, such as compensation for current employees and lease payments for facilities and equipment, are largely fixed. In addition, our expense levels are based, in
part, on our expectations regarding future revenues. As a result, any shortfall in revenues relative to our expectations could cause significant changes in our operating results from period to period. In this regard, our bookings may not be
indicative of trends in our business generally or revenue that will be recognized in current or subsequent periods. Due to the foregoing factors, we believe period-to-period comparisons of our historical operating results may be of limited use. In
any event, we may be unable to meet our internal projections or the projections of securities analysts and investors. If we are unable to do so, we expect that, as in the past, the trading price of our stock may fall dramatically.

Our market is highly competitive and our inability to compete successfully could adversely affect our operating results.

The market for our products and services is highly competitive. Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing
and distribution resources than we have. Their resources have enabled them to aggressively price, finance and bundle their product offerings to attempt to gain market adoption or to increase market share. If our competitors offer deep discounts on
certain products in an effort to gain market share or to sell other products or services, we may then need to lower the prices of our products and services, change our pricing models, or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully,
which would likely reduce our margins and adversely affect operating results.

We expect that we will continue to compete primarily on the basis of quality, breadth of product and service offerings,
functionality, price, strength of customer relationships and time to market. Our current and potential competitors include the following:



| |  |  | wireless equipment manufacturers, such as Ericsson, Nokia, Nortel and Lucent;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | wireless messaging software providers, such as Comverse, Ericsson, and LogicaCMG;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | software providers, such as 7.24 Solutions, Critical Path, Intrado, and Verisign;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | service providers, such as E-Commerce Solutions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | client solutions providers, such as Access, Qualcomm, Symbian, and Teleca;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | computer system companies, such as Microsoft and Sun;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | providers of Internet software applications and content, electronic messaging applications and personal information management software solutions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | antispam and antivirus providers, such as Ironport.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

Nokia also competes
directly with us by offering WAP servers, client software and messaging (offering end-to-end solutions based on its proprietary smart messaging protocol and on MMS) to communications service providers. Nokia markets its WAP servers to corporate
customers and content providers, which if successful, could undermine the need of communications service providers to maintain their own WAP gateways (since these WAP servers access applications and services directly rather than through WAP
gateways).

Qualcomms end-to-end proprietary system called BREWdoes not use our technology and offers wireless handset manufacturers an alternative method for installing applications. Qualcomms strong market
position in CDMA with its chipsets technology provides them with a position to build the BREW system with CDMA operators. If Qualcomms BREW system is widely adopted, it could undermine the need for wireless device manufacturers to install our
client software and reduce our ability to sell gateways and wireless applications to communications service providers.

Furthermore, the proliferation and
evolution of operating system software in smart phones, a market segment backed by companies with resources greater than ours, such as Microsoft and Nokia, may threaten the market position of our client software offerings, as such software becomes
more competitive in price.

In addition, Internet search and content providers recently have launched data services offerings directed at wireless end
users. These services may compete directly with services offered by our traditional customer base. As well, in the future Internet search and content providers could directly compete with us by launching wireless data services.

Our sales cycles are long, subjecting us to the loss or deferral of anticipated orders and related revenue.

Our sales cycle is long, often between six months and twelve months, and unpredictable due to the lengthy evaluation and customer approval process for our products,
including internal reviews and capital expenditure approvals. Moreover, the evolving nature of the market for data services via mobile phones may lead prospective customers to postpone their purchasing decisions pending resolution of standards or
adoption of technology by others.

Because we depend substantially on the international sales, any decrease in international sales would adversely
affect our operating results.

International sales accounted for approximately 54% and 55% of our total revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:



| |  |  | failure by us and/or third-parties to develop localized content and applications that are used with our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | fluctuations in currency exchange rates and any imposition of currency exchange controls;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | differing technology standards and pace of adoption;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | export restrictions on encryption and other technologies; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While we attempt to hedge our currency risk, we may be unable to do so effectively. In addition, international sales could decline due to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements applicable to the Internet or our business, or
differences in foreign laws and regulations, including foreign tax, intellectual property, labor and contract law. Any of these factors could harm our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

We may be unable to integrate acquisitions of other businesses and technologies successfully or to achieve the
expected benefits of such acquisitions.

We have acquired a number of businesses and technologies in the past and expect to continue to evaluate and
consider potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets. These transactions entail risks that may be material to our business and results of operations. For
example, the limited historical revenue and operating history of Musiwave, which we acquired on January 13, 2006, subjects us to significant risk that we will be unable to integrate the business and to realize the anticipated benefits in a
timely basis or at all.

In any event, the process of integrating any acquired business may create difficulties,
including:



| |  |  | significant delay or the inability to realize the anticipated benefits from such transactions, including projected revenue, synergies or other operating results and to effect
product integration, development and marketing;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversion of managements attention from other business concerns;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | declining employee morale and retention issues from either our pre-existing or acquired businesses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to integrate each companys accounting and other administrative systems to permit effective management;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the impact of any negative customer relationships acquired;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to implement necessary controls, procedures and policies at private companies which, prior to acquisition, lacked such controls, procedures and policies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to write-down the goodwill of any such transaction in subsequent periods;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Foreign acquisitions involve special risks, including those related to integration of operations across different cultures, languages, and legal systems, currency risks, and the particular economic, political, and
regulatory risks associated with specific countries. In addition, we may incur significant transaction fees and expenses, including expenses for transactions that may not be consummated. In any event, as a result of future acquisitions, we might
need to issue additional equity securities, spend our cash, or incur debt or assume significant liabilities, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our customer contracts lack uniformity and often are particularly complex, which subjects us to business and other risks.

Our customers are typically large communications service providers and handset manufacturers. Their substantial purchasing power and negotiating leverage limits our ability to negotiate uniform business terms. As a result, we typically
negotiate contracts on an individual customer-by-customer basis and are sometimes required to accept contract terms not favorable to us, including indemnity, refund, penalty or other terms that expose us to significant risk. In addition, we may be
asked to accommodate requests that are beyond the express terms of our agreements in order to maintain our relationships with our customers. The lack of uniformity and the complexity of the terms of these contracts creates difficulty with respect to
ensuring timely and accurate accounting and billing under these contracts. Because of this complexity and the limitations of automated accounting software, our invoices often must be prepared manually, which sometimes leads to delays or errors that
generally must be corrected before invoices can be paid by our customers and which can lead to delays in processing or collecting payments. Any delay in processing or collecting payments could adversely affect our business. Additionally, if we are
unable to effectively negotiate, enforce and accurately or timely account and bill for contracts with our key customers, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

We may not be successful in obtaining complete license usage reports from our customers on a timely basis, which could impact our reported results.

Although our customers generally are contractually obligated to provide license usage reports, at times we are unable to obtain such reports in a timely manner, if at all, or the reports provided may not accurately
reflect actual usage. If license usage reports are not received in a timely manner, we estimate the revenue based on historical reporting trends, if reasonably possible. Because estimates require judgments based upon late or incomplete, and
therefore inherently imperfect, information, the timing or amount of revenue we recognize may vary significantly from actual or expected customer usage and could impact our reported results.

We rely on estimates to determine arrangement fee revenue recognition for a particular reporting period. If our estimates change, future expected revenues could
adversely change.

We apply the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenue for certain fixed fee solutions-based arrangements. Applying the
percentage-of-completion method, we estimate progress on our professional services projects, which determines license and professional service revenues for a particular period. If, in a particular period, our estimates to project completion change
and we estimate project overruns, revenue recognition for such projects in the period may be less than expected or even negative, which could cause us to fail to realize anticipated operating results in a given period. Additionally, a portion of the
payments under some of our professional services arrangements are based on customer acceptance of deliverables. If a customer fails to accept the applicable deliverable, we may not be able to recognize the related revenue or receive payment for work
that we have already completed, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our technology depends on the adoption of open standards, which also makes us more vulnerable to competition.

Our products are integrated with communications service providers systems and mobile phones through the use of open standards. If we are unable
to continue to integrate our platform products with third-party technologies because they do not adopt open standards or otherwise, our business will suffer. In addition, large wireless operators sometimes create detailed service specifications and
requirements, such as Vodafone Live or DoCoMo iMode, and such operators are not required to share those specifications with us. Failure or delay in the creation of open, global specifications could have an adverse effect on the mobile data market in
general and, consequently, our business and operating results. Conversely, the widespread adoption of open industry standards also may make it easier for new market entrants and existing competitors to introduce products that compete with our
software products, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our industry changes rapidly as a result of technological and
product developments, which may quickly render our products and services less desirable or even obsolete.

The industry in which we operate is subject
to rapid technological change. The introduction of new technologies in the market, including the delay in the adoption of these technologies, as well as new alternatives for the delivery of products and services will continue to have a profound
effect on competitive conditions in our market. We may not be able to develop and introduce new products, services and enhancements that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards on a timely basis.

For example, our business depends upon the mass adoption of mobile phones for delivery of data services. Competing products, such as portable computers, PDAs, and smart
phones currently exist for mobile data delivery. If mobile phones are not widely adopted for delivery of data services or if end-users do not adopt mobile phones containing our browser or other client software, our customers may choose not to widely
deploy, maintain or market offerings based on our products, which would adversely affect our business and operating results.

More generally, while in the
past we have primarily provided specific component sales, in the future we intend to provide more integrated and comprehensive software solution for our carrier customers. We also intend to develop and license new products and to enter into new
product markets. We may be unable to develop and license new products in accordance with our expectations or at all, our new products may not be adopted by the primary carriers, or we may be unable to succeed in new product markets which, in either
case, would have a material adverse affect on our business and operating results.

Our communications service provider customers face implementation and
support challenges in introducing Internet-based services, which may slow their rate of adoption or implementation of the services our products enable.

Historically, communications service providers have been relatively slow to implement new, complex services such as data services. In addition, communications service providers may encounter greater customer demands to support
Internet-based services than they do for their traditional voice services. We have limited or no control over the pace at which communications service providers implement these new Internet-based services. The failure of communications service
providers to introduce and support Internet-based services utilizing our products in a timely and effective manner could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Our business depends on continued investment and improvement in communications networks.

Many of our customers and other communications service providers continue to make major investments in next generation networks that are intended to support more complex applications and to provide end users with a
more satisfying user experience. If communications service providers delay their deployment of networks or fail to roll out such networks successfully, there could be less demand for our products and services, which would adversely affect our
business and operating results.

In addition, the communications industry has experienced significant fluctuations in capital expenditure. Although the
capital spending environment may have improved recently, we have experienced significant revenue declines from historical peaks as a result of spending contraction in our industry. If capital spending and technology purchasing by communications
service providers does not continue to improve or declines, our revenue would likely decline substantially.

We may not be successful in forming or maintaining strategic alliances with other companies, which could adversely
affect our product offerings and sales.

Our business depends in part on forming or maintaining strategic alliances with other companies. We may not be
able to form the alliances necessary to ensure that our products are compatible with third-party products, to enable us to license our software to potential new customers and into potential new markets, and to enable us to continue to enter into new
license agreements with our existing customers. We may be unable to maintain existing relationships with other companies, to identify the best alliances for our business or enter into new alliances with other companies on acceptable terms or at all.
If we cannot form and maintain significant strategic alliances with other companies as our target markets and technology evolves, the sales opportunities for our products could deteriorate, which would have a material adverse effect on our business
and operating results.

Our restructuring of operations may not achieve the results we expect and may adversely affect our business.

In October 2001, September 2002, June 2003, June 2005, and August 2005, we initiated plans to streamline operations and reduce expenses, which included
cuts in discretionary spending, reductions in capital expenditures, reductions in the work force and consolidation of certain office locations, as well as other steps to reduce expenses. In connection with the restructurings, we were required to
make certain product and product development tradeoffs with limited information regarding the future demand for our various products. Following these restructurings, we may not have elected to pursue the correct product offerings to take advantage
of future market opportunities. Furthermore, the implementation of our restructuring plans has placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational, financial, employee and other resources. Additionally, the
restructurings may negatively affect our employee turnover as well as recruitment and retention of key employees. These employee reductions could impair our marketing, sales and customer support efforts or alter our product development plans. If we
experience difficulties in carrying out the restructuring plans, our expenses could increase more quickly than we expect. If we find that our planned restructurings do not achieve our objectives, it may be necessary to implement further reduction of
our expenses, to perform additional reductions in our headcount, or to undertake additional restructurings of our business. In addition, our restructuring may not result in anticipated cost-savings, which could harm our business and operating
results.

Our software products may contain defects or errors, which could result in rejection of our products, delays in shipment of our products,
damage to our reputation, product liability and lost revenues.

The software we develop and the associated professional services we offer are complex
and must meet the stringent technical requirements of our customers. We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet software and telecommunications markets. Software products and services as complex as ours are
likely to contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. We have in the past experienced delays in releasing some versions of our products until software problems were corrected. In
addition, some of our customer contracts provide for a period during which our products and services are subject to acceptance testing. Failure to achieve acceptance could result in a delay in, or inability to, receive payment. Our products may not
be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in the rejection of our products and damage to our reputation, as well as lost revenues, diverted development resources and increased service and warranty
costs, any of which could harm our business.

We depend on recruiting and retaining key management and technical personnel with telecommunications and
Internet software experience which are integral in developing, marketing and selling our products.

Because of the technical nature of our products and
the dynamic market in which we compete, our performance depends on attracting and retaining key management and other employees. In particular, our future success depends in part on the continued services of many of our current employees including
key executives and key engineers and other technical employees. Competition for qualified personnel in the telecommunications, Internet software and Internet messaging industries is significant. We believe that there are only a limited number of
persons with the requisite skills to serve in many of our key positions, and it is difficult to hire and retain these persons. Furthermore, it may become more difficult to hire and retain key employees as a result of our past restructurings, any
future restructurings, and as a result of our past stock performance. Competitors and others have in the past, and may in the future, attempt to recruit our employees.

Our intellectual property could be misappropriated, which could force us to become involved in expensive and time-consuming litigation.

Our ability to compete and continue to provide technological innovation is substantially dependent upon internally-developed technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, and trade secret laws to protect
our intellectual property or proprietary rights in such technology, although we believe that other factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product and feature enhancements and
reliable product support and maintenance are more essential to maintaining a technology leadership position. We also rely on trademark law to protect the value of our corporate brand and reputation.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy or
otherwise obtain and use our products, technology or trademarks. Effectively policing our intellectual property is time consuming and costly, and the steps taken by us may not prevent infringement of our intellectual property or proprietary rights
in our products, technology and trademarks, particularly in foreign countries where in many instances the local laws or legal systems do not offer the same level of protection as in the United States.

Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, subjecting us to claims for infringement, payment of license royalties, or other damages.

Our products may be alleged to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, subjecting us to claims for infringement, payment of license
royalties, or other remedies. As the number of our products and services increases and their features and content continue to expand, we may increasingly become subject to infringement and other intellectual property claims by third parties. From
time to time, we and our customers have received and may receive in the future, offers to license or claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, or may become aware of certain third party patents that may relate to our products.
For example, a number of parties have asserted to standards bodies such as OMA that they own intellectual property rights which may be essential for the implementation of specifications developed by those standard bodies. A number of our products
are designed to conform to OMA specifications or those of other standards bodies, and have been, and may in the future be, subject to offers to license or claims of infringement on that basis by individuals, intellectual property licensing entities
and other companies, including companies in the telecommunications field with greater financial resources and larger intellectual property portfolios than our own.

Additionally, our customer agreements require that we indemnify our customers for infringement of our intellectual property embedded in their products. In the past we have elected, and in the future we may elect to take a license or
otherwise settle claims of infringement at the request of our customers or otherwise. Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and could divert our management and key personnel from our
business operations. The complexity of the technology involved, and the number of parties holding intellectual property within the wireless industry, increases the risks associated with intellectual property litigation. Moreover, patent litigation
has increased due to the increased number of cases asserted by intellectual property licensing entities as well as increasing competition and overlap of product functionality in our markets. Royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any infringement claim successfully asserted against us or against a customer for which we have an obligation to defend could result in costly litigation as well as the payment of substantial damages
or even an injunction.

We may be unable to effectively manage future growth, if any, that we may achieve.

As a result of our efforts to control costs through restructurings and otherwise, our ability to effectively manage and control any future growth we may achieve may be
limited. To manage any growth, our management must continue to improve our operational, information and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand, train, retain and manage our employees. If our systems, procedures and controls are
inadequate to support our operations, any expansion could decrease or stop, and investors may lose confidence in our operations or financial results. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business and operating results could be
adversely affected, and any failure to develop and maintain adequate internal controls could cause the trading price of our shares to decline substantially.

The security provided by our products could be breached, in which case our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results could suffer.

A fundamental requirement for online communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet. Third-parties may attempt to breach the security provided by our products, or the security
of our customers internal systems. If they are successful, they could obtain confidential information about our customers end users, including their passwords, financial account information, credit card numbers or other personal
information. Our customers or their end users may file suits against us for any breach in security, which could result in costly litigation or harm our reputation. The perception of security risks, whether or not valid, could inhibit market
acceptance of our products. Despite our implementation of security measures, our software is vulnerable to computer viruses, electronic break-ins, intentional overloading of servers and other sabotage, and similar disruptions, which could lead to
interruptions, delays, or loss of data. The occurrence or perception of security breaches could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

We issued $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due September 2008, which we may not be able to repay in cash upon a change of control or at maturity and which could result in dilution of our earnings per share.

In September 2003, we issued $150 million of 23/4% convertible subordinated notes which mature on September 9, 2008. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at any time on or prior to the business day prior

##### Table of Contents

to maturity. The notes are currently convertible at a conversion price of $18.396 per share. In addition, each holder may require us to purchase all or a
portion of such holders notes upon the occurrence of specified change in control events. We may not have enough cash or cash resources to repay the notes in cash on a change of control or at maturity. In any event, the repurchase of our notes
with shares of our common stock or the conversion of the notes into shares of our common stock may result in dilution of our earnings per share.

Provisions of our corporate documents may have anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control.

Provisions of our charter,
bylaws, stockholder rights plan and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include authorizing the issuance of preferred stock without
stockholder approval, prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, prohibiting the stockholders from calling stockholders meetings, and prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent, among others. These provisions may have the
effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management.

Our stock price may be volatile, exposing us to expensive and time-consuming
securities class action litigation.

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of companies in our industry in particular, have experienced
extreme volatility, which has often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company or companies. If market or industry-based fluctuations continue, our stock price could decline below current levels regardless of our actual
operating performance. Therefore, if a large number of shares of our stock are sold in a short period of time, our stock price may decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has sometimes been brought against companies following
periods of volatility in their stock prices. We have in the past and may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our managements time and resources, which could harm
our business and operating results.
