This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is filed by Open Text Corporation, an Ontario corporation (“Open Text” or the “Company”), as an amendment to that certain Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2004 (the “Original 8-K”), as amended by the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on May 3, 2004 (the “Amended 8-K”).

Item 9.01: Financial Statements and Exhibits

The Original 8-K related to the announcement that Open Text had closed its tender offer for the outstanding shares of IXOS Software AG (“IXOS”), a German corporation, pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of Open Text acquired approximately 88% of the ordinary share capital and voting rights of IXOS.

The Amended 8-K filed the audited financial statements of IXOS for IXOS’ fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001. IXOS’ financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 (the “2003 Financial Statements”) filed with the Amended 8-K were audited by IXOS’ then current auditors, Ernst & Young AG. IXOS’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 (the “2002 Financial Statements”) filed with the Amended 8-K were audited by IXOS’s then former auditors, AW Treuhand GmbH. IXOS’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 (the “2001 Financial Statements”) were audited by IXOS’ then former auditors, Arthur Andersen GmbH (“Arthur Andersen”), which has since ceased operations.

Subsequent to the completion of the tender offer by Open Text, a thorough review of IXOS’ books and records was conducted. In the course of that review, Open Text discovered accounting irregularities at IXOS Software K.K., a wholly-owned Japanese subsidiary of IXOS, concentrated in the areas of revenue recognition and cost capitalization. Forensic accountants were engaged by Open Text to conduct an independent review of the transactions, records and business arrangements of IXOS Software K.K. This review revealed a cumulative overstatement of revenue by IXOS Software K.K. during the period between IXOS’ fiscal years 2001 and 2003. The transactions reviewed also had the effect of overstating certain expenses and current assets.

As part of its investigation into the aforementioned matters, Open Text and IXOS performed an extensive group-wide review of account balances. This group-wide review led to the determination that the previously issued IXOS consolidated financial statements also required restatement related to the under-accrual of personnel related expenses, maintenance revenue and sales and use taxes in IXOS’ United States operations.

Open Text is herewith filing restated financial statements of IXOS for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 in order to restate the 2002 Financial Statements and the 2003 Financial Statements. The 2001 Financial Statements also require restatement and should no longer be relied upon. Because Arthur Andersen has ceased operations, a restatement of the 2001 Financial Statements herein would have involved unreasonable cost and effort. Thus, Open Text includes herein, based on discussions with the SEC, previously un-filed audited consolidated financial statements of IXOS for the period from July 1, 2003 to February 29, 2004.

As the matters leading to the restatements of the IXOS financial statements occurred prior to the acquisition of IXOS by Open Text, such restatements do not impact the reported financial position and results of operations of Open Text for its then most recently completed fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation was amended during Open Text’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

The following restated financial statements and exhibits are filed as part of this Current Report, on Form 8-K/A, where indicated:
