All financial information
contained in this report is expressed in United States dollars, unless
otherwise stated.









The following information contains forward-looking statements
as defined by the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, involving Corel's expectations about future financial results and other
matters. These statements reflect management's current forecast
of certain aspects of Corel's future business. Specifically, this release
contains forward-looking statements regarding the likely benefits from
new product introductions and the need by the marketplace for the products
under development; the programs being undertaken by Corel
and expectations regarding the ability of Corel to increase sales and return
to profitability; and results in future quarters and for the next
fiscal year. The words "plan", "expect", "believe", "will", "intend",
"anticipate", "forecast", "target", "estimate" and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results of operations to differ materially from historical results or current
expectations. In particular, there can be no assurance that Corel's
cost reductions will be adequate or that Corel will achieve a level of revenue
that will allow Corel to return to profitability, that Corel will
be able to produce and launch new products or that Corel will be able to
successfully implement or complete the short-term and long-term
programs that Corel has undertaken. Risk factors include shifts in customer
demand, product shipment schedules, product mix, competitive
products and pricing, technological shifts, Corel's effectiveness at executing
its sales, marketing and development plans, the market
acceptance of new products and other variables. Readers are referred to
Corel's most recent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for a more complete discussion of the other risks and
uncertainties. The factors underlying forecasts are dynamic and subject
to change. As a result, forecasts speak only as of the date they are given and
do not necessarily reflect Corel's outlook at any other point
in time. Corel does not undertake to update or review these forward-looking
statements.

(unaudited)




1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies




All dollar amounts included herein
are expressed in thousands of US$ unless otherwise noted. Certain per share
information is expressed
in units of US$ unless otherwise noted.




The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in Canada
("Canadian GAAP"). These principles are also generally accepted in the United
States ("US GAAP") in all material respects except as
disclosed in Note 6. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for
fair presentation are reflected in the financial statements. All
adjustments made are normal and recurring in nature. Corel Corporation
("Corel") has followed the same accounting policies and methods
of application as in the most recent audited financial statements except as
stated herein.




Comparative Figures



Historical comparative figures
have been reclassified to reflect current presentation. In the third quarter
of fiscal 2002, the amortization of
technology, historically included as a component of costs of goods sold, was
reclassified for financial statement presentation to depreciation
and amortization expense.




2. Loss per
share



The calculation of loss per share
is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. As the impacts of the
exercise of options and warrants and conversion of preferred shares are
anti-dilutive in the first six months of fiscal 2003, 8,465,578
outstanding options, 282,500 warrants and 22,890,000 preferred shares have
been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per
share.

SIZE="-2"> FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">3. Subsequent
Events



On March 24, 2003, an affiliate
of Vector, Vector CC Holdings, L.L.C. ("Vector CC Holdings") announced that it
had completed the
purchase of 22,890,000 Series A participating convertible preferred shares of
Corel (the "Series A Shares") representing 95.38% of
outstanding Series A Shares at a price of US$0.5625 per share from Microsoft
Licensing, Inc. in a private transaction as originally announced
on March 10, 2003. Those shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis into
common shares of Corel and represent approximately 19.75%
of the issued and outstanding common shares of Corel at February 28, 2003,
assuming conversion of those shares. In April 2003, the
remaining Series A participating convertible preferred shares of Corel held by
Microsoft Licensing, Inc. were sold to an undisclosed buyer
and subsequently converted to common shares.




On June 6, 2003, Corel entered
into an acquisition agreement with Corel Holdings L.P. ("Corel Holdings") and
Vector CC Acquisitions Inc.
under which those entities, together with their affiliates (together, the
"Vector Group") will, subject to receiving all required approvals,
including the approval of Corel Securityholders and the satisfaction of
certain other conditions, become the owner of all the shares of Corel.
Corel Securityholders are holders of common shares of Corel and holders of
options, warrants or other securities exercisable for, convertible
into or exchangeable for common shares for less than $1.05 per
share.




A Special Meeting of
Securityholders will be held on August 20, 2003, where Securityholders will
be asked to consider a resolution
approving the Plan of Arrangement ("Arrangement") under which:




a) Common Shareholders will
receive an amount of $1.05 for each Common Share held; and




b) the holders of options,
warrants or other securities (excluding Series A Shares) exercisable for,
convertible into or exchangeable for
common shares will be entitled to either (1) receive the excess of $1.05 over
any amount payable in connection with the exercise of the
convertible security into one common share multiplied by the number of shares
for which such convertible securities could be exercised or
(2) exercise, convert or exchange their convertible security into common
shares no later than two business days following the meeting and
all unexercised convertible securities will be cancelled upon the Arrangement
becoming effective.




Corel's Board of Directors has
agreed, subject to certain conditions, to recommend that shareholders approve
the Arrangement. The
agreement by Corel's Board of Directors is subject to the Board's fiduciary
right to consider and support any superior proposal. In the event
that an agreement to implement the superior proposal is concluded, Corel would
be required to pay Vector a termination fee of US$2.0
million as well as a portion of Vector's expenses relating to the
Arrangement.





The Board of Directors of Corel
has received an opinion from its financial advisor, CIBC World Markets Inc.,
that the consideration to be
received from Vector by the holders of common shares is fair from a financial
point of view.




4. Segmented

Corel has one global operating
segment. A summary of sales by product group, region and major customer from
consolidated
operations is as follows. Comparative amounts have been reclassified to be

5. Stock options
plans



Effective December 1, 2002, Corel
adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants relating to
stock based compensation. Under the new recommendations, where the fair
value-based method of accounting has not been used to
account for employee stock options, companies are required to disclose
pro-forma earnings per share, as if the fair value based method
of accounting has been used to account for these stock based awards. The
estimated share based compensation costs based on stock
options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants and the
pro-forma net loss per share are as follows:

The fair values of all options
granted during the three month and six month periods ended May 31, 2003 and
2002 were estimated as
of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:

The Black-Scholes model, used by
Corel to calculate option values, as well as other currently accepted option
valuation models, were
developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradeable, fully transferable
options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ
from Corel's stock option awards. These models also require highly subjective
assumptions, including future stock price volatility and
expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.
Accordingly, management believes that these models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of Corel's
stock option awards.





FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">6. Significant differences
between Canadian and United States GAAP



Corel's financial statements are

FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">A. In-process research and
development



In accordance with Canadian GAAP,
the allocation of the purchase price of the acquisition of Micrografx,
Inc.("Micrografx") included
$4.3 million for in-process research and development, which is being amortized
over its expected useful life. For US GAAP purposes, this
was expensed in fiscal 2001, the year of acquisition.






FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">B. Unrealized gain on forward
exchange contracts



As the forward exchange contracts
held by Corel are not designated as hedges, US GAAP requires unrealized gains
on these forward
exchange contracts to be currently accounted for in earnings. Accordingly,
current assets would have changed by $0.5 million at May
31, 2003 and would not have changed at November 30, 2002.






FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">C. Comprehensive
income



US GAAP requires
available-for-sale securities to be marked to market with unrealized holding
gains or losses being accounted for in
other comprehensive income. Accordingly, the reported carrying value of
investments would have changed by $0.072 million at May
31, 2003 and would not have changed at November 30, 2002.






FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Stock options

Effective December 1, 2002, Corel
adopted SFAS No.148 - "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition
and Disclosure an
amendment of FASB Statement No.123". Under SFAS No.148, where the fair
value-based method of accounting has not been used to
account for employee stock options, companies are required to disclose
pro-forma earnings per share, as if the fair value based method
of accounting has been used to account for these stock based awards. The
estimated share based compensation costs based on stock
options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants and the
pro-forma net loss per share are as follows:

FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-1">Item 2. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
SIZE="-2">




SIZE="-2">OVERVIEW



We develop, manufacture, license,
sell and support software that is grouped into four main categories: Graphics
Solutions, Office
Productivity Solutions, XML Solutions and Process Management Solutions. As
customer needs evolve, we are developing solutions that
enable customers to create, deploy and interact with content across multiple
delivery channels.




Our business strategy is to
leverage our expertise in content creation and open standards such as XML
(Extensible Markup Language), to
deliver solutions that allow customers to create, exchange and interact
instantly with visually rich content. Using Corel's solutions,
customers have access to data which is relevant, accurate and up to date,
saving them time, reducing costs and giving them a
competitive advantage.




FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Revenue



Our 2003 second quarter revenue
was $32.2 million compared to $30.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2002. This was a 4.7%,
or $1.4 million, increase in revenue due mainly to the release of three new
products WordPerfect Office 11, Corel DESIGNER 10 and
Corel Painter 8 in the second quarter of 2003. Sales have decreased 2.3% in
the first six months of 2003 from the first six months of
fiscal 2002 as a result of declining graphic sales internationally offset by
the increases in sales from Office Productivity Solutions due to
the release of WordPerfect 11, and XML Solutions in 2003 due to a full six
months of sales from products acquired from SoftQuad
Software, Ltd. ("SoftQuad") in March 2002.




Revenue by product
group
SIZE="-2">




Graphics Solutions revenue
decreased by 15.6% for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 from the quarter ended
May 31, 2002. For the
first six months of 2003, Graphics Solutions revenue declined 12.3% from the
first six months of 2002. The declines are primarily due to
lower than anticipated revenue from Corel's CorelDRAW Graphics Suite caused by
adverse economic conditions in Germany and the
delayed release of the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean
versions of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 11 in Asia-Pacific.




Office Productivity Solutions
revenue increased by 33.2% for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 from the quarter
ended May 31, 2002.
For the first six months of 2003, Office Productivity Solutions revenue
increased by 3.8% for the first six months of 2003 from the first
six month of 2002. The increase in sales can be attributed to the release of
WordPerfect Office 11 in April 2003.




Process Management Solutions
revenue decreased by 11.2% for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 from the quarter
ended May 31,
2002. For the first six months of 2003, Process Management Solutions revenue
decreased by 4.6% from the first six months of 2002.
The declines are mainly as a result of potential major deals being delayed by
customers and cautious spending by corporate customers.




Other Products revenue increased
by $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter
of 2002 and for the
first six months of 2003 increased by $2.0 million from the first six months
of 2002. The increases are primarily as a result of revenue
from our XML Solutions and Pro Services products acquired from SoftQuad in
March of 2002.




FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Revenue by
region



Revenue in North America increased
25.7% in the second quarter of 2003 from the second quarter of 2002. For the
first six months of
2003, North American revenue increased by 4.6% from the first six months on
2002. The increases can be attributed to increased sales
from the release of WordPerfect Office 11, Corel Painter 8 and Corel Designer
10 in the first six months of 2003.




Revenue in Europe, Middle East and
Africa ("EMEA") decreased by 23.2% for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 from the
quarter ended
May 31, 2002. For the first six months of 2003, EMEA revenue decreased 15.3%
from the first six months of 2002. This decline in sales
can be attributed to lower sales of Corel Graphics Suite 11 caused by adverse
economic conditions in Germany, a key market for Corel
Graphics Suite. In addition, WordPerfect Office 11 and Corel Painter 8 were
released late in the second quarter of 2003 resulting in
minimal impact on sales.




Rest of world ("ROW") revenue
decreased 34.0% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter
of 2002. For the first
six months of 2003, ROW revenue decreased 13.5% from the first six months of
2002. The declines are primarily due to weak demand
for graphics products along with the delayed release of the Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean versions of CorelDRAW
Graphics Suite 11 in Asia-Pacific.




OEM revenue increased by 16.4% in
the second quarter of 2003 over the second quarter of 2002. For the first six
months of 2003,
OEM sales increased 23.2% from the first six months of 2002. The increases are
due in large part to an increase in royalty revenues
from partnerships with leading hardware manufacturers.




Cost of sales and gross
profit



We have historically included the
amortization of licenses and acquired technology as a component of cost of
goods sold. To make
analysis of our financial results more comparable with general industry
practices, the acquired technology amortization costs have been
reclassified for all periods presented to depreciation and amortization
expense. With this change, gross margin for the second quarter of
2003 was 85.6%, down from 90.2% for the same period in the prior year. For the
first six months of 2003, the gross margin was
86.3%, down from 90.4% from the first six months of 2002. The increase in cost
of sales is mainly as a result of inventory write downs
due to the lower sales volumes than originally anticipated and higher shipping
costs.




Sales
expenses



Sales expenses remained fairly
constant for the second quarter of 2003 from the second quarter of 2002 as the
increase in expenses
from the sales staff and infrastructure assumed after acquiring SoftQuad in
the second quarter of 2002 was matched by the increased
level of sales staff in EMEA and US enterprise sales in place in the second
quarter of 2003. For the first six months of 2003, sales
expenses increased 8.1% from the first six months of 2002. This can be
attributed to an increased investment in our European
workforce and US enterprise sales force in the first six months of 2003 over
the first six months of 2002.




Marketing
expenses



Marketing expenses increased by
27.6% for the second quarter of 2003 from the second quarter of 2002. For the
first six months of
2003, marketing expenses increased 12.3% million from the first six months of
2002. The large increase in marketing expenses for the
second quarter of 2003 over the same period last year is due to significant
new product releases in the second quarter of 2003 with no
major product releases over the same period of last year.




General and administrative
expenses



General and administrative
expenses increased by 10.0% during the quarter ended May 31, 2003 compared to
the quarter ended May
31, 2002. For the first six months of 2003, general and administrative
expenses increased 1.3% from the first six months of 2002. The
increase can be attributed in part to additional severance costs and costs
associated with the Vector proposal.




Research and development
expenses



Corel's second quarter 2003
research and development expenses decreased 18.5% or $1.4 million compared to
the second quarter of
fiscal 2002. For the first six months of 2003, research and development
expenses decreased 23.1% or $3.4 million from the first six
months of 2002. The decrease in expenses is a result of the decrease in staff
in research and development in the six months of 2003
over the first six months of 2002 as a result of the restructuring of the
development process done in late fiscal 2002.





Depreciation and
amortization expenses



Depreciation and amortization in
the second quarter of 2003 decreased by 27.7% over the second quarter of 2002.
For the first six
months of 2003, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 20.0% from
the first six months of 2002. The decrease is a result
of the write off in late fiscal 2002 of goodwill and technology from the
acquisition of Micrografx in October 2001 and SoftQuad in
March 2002, which has then reduced future depreciation and
amortization.





Interest income



Interest income increased $0.5
million for the quarter ended May 31, 2003 from the quarter ended May 31,
2002. For the first six
months of 2003, interest income increased $0.3 million from the first six
months of 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to
interest received in the second quarter of 2003 on a refund of prior year
taxes.




Income taxes



Corel's tax expense is impacted by
the relative profitability of its operations in various geographic regions.
In addition, during the first
six months of 2003, we received tax reassessments of prior years, settling a
number of outstanding tax issues. The first six months of
2003 tax recovery includes approximately $4.8 million relating to refunds of
taxes from those reassessments.






FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Liquidity and capital
resources



As of May 31, 2003, our principal
sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments of approximately
$75.5 million, and trade accounts receivable of $18.8 million. Cash used in
operations was $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal
2003 compared to $12.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002. This
$11.9 million improvement can be attributed to a $3.1
million improvement in our financial results and improvement in our working
capital as a result of reduced cash requirements in the first
six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 for liabilities
associated with the SoftQuad acquisition in March 2002 as
well as reductions in salary expenses.




Financing activities provided
$57,000 in the first six months of 2003 compared to $64,000 in the first six
months of 2002. The source
of cash in both quarters was the issuance of shares under employee stock
option plans.




Cash provided from investing
activities was $22.3 million in the first six months of 2003 compared to $33.8
million in the first six
months of 2002. The primary source of cash was the redemption of short-term
investments, which provided $23.6 million for the first
six months of 2003. The primary use of cash from investing activities during
the quarter was the acquisition of capital assets for $1.3
million, compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2002.




We currently have $40.6 million of
cash and cash equivalents and $33.4 million of short-term investments which
are highly liquid. We
believe these funds, along with future cash flow from operations will provide
sufficient liquidity for the near term. At May 31, 2003,
our future commitments consisted primarily of lease arrangements for office
space and certain sponsorship activities (see chart below).
No significant commitments exist for future capital expenditures and we have
no long term debt. We believe available balances of cash
and cash equivalents and short-term investments are sufficient to meet our
working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly
Results



We experience significant
fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to the following factors:
market acceptance of new and
enhanced products, timing and shipment of significant orders, mix of products
sold, exchange rate fluctuations, length of revenue cycles
and cycles in the markets we serve. In addition, our net revenue and
operating results for a future quarter will depend on generating and
shipping orders in the same quarter that the order is received. The failure to
receive anticipated orders or delays in shipments near the end
of a quarter, due to rescheduling, cancellations or unexpected manufacturing
difficulties, may cause net revenue in a particular quarter to
fall significantly below expectations. This could adversely affect our
operating results for such quarter.




Being first to market with new
products is critical to revenue growth. As we and our competitors develop new
products, demand for our
current and future products will fluctuate. If demand for our products were
to decline significantly, revenue would decline and cost of sales
would increase as a result of obsolete inventory and accelerated amortization
of capitalized licences.





Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates



Our discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated
financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in Canada. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgements that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going
basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to
product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes,
contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.





We believe the following critical
accounting policies affect our more significant judgements and estimates used
in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements:




FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Revenue recognition



We recognize revenue in accordance
with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition,"
issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), SOP 98-9,
"Modification of 97-2, Software Recognition with Respect to
Certain Transactions" and Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements", issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").





We record product revenue from
packaged software and license fees when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the software
product has been shipped, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding
product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable
and collection is considered probable.





Revenue is net of a provision for
product returns. In computing this provision, we use estimates and
professional judgement. These
estimates are based on information on channel inventory and current return
rates. Consequently, actual return rates could vary
materially from our estimates. An increase in the return rate could result
from changes in consumer demand. Should this variance occur,
revenue could fluctuate significantly. Variances from estimated return rates
and actual return rates are adjusted for monthly.





At the time of contract signing,
we assess whether the fee associated with the revenue transactions is fixed
and determinable based on
the payment terms associated with the transaction. We consider the fee to be
fixed and determinable if it is due within our normal
payment terms, which are generally 30 to 90 days from invoice date.




We assess collection based on a
number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and
the credit-worthiness of
the customer and do not request collateral from our customers. If it is
determined that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we
defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably
assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.




We uses binding purchase orders
and signed license agreements as evidence of an arrangement. Our arrangements
do not include
acceptance clauses.




We review our accounts receivable
and evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. Specific
items that are analyzed
include historical bad debts, changes in customer payments, and current
economic trends.




Income taxes



We have a net future tax asset the
principal components of which are book and tax differences on assets and net
operating loss
carryforwards. We believe sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the
realizability of these net future tax assets such that a valuation
allowance has been taken on the entire amount. Assumptions regarding the
realizability of these net future tax assets are revisited at
each balance sheet date. Any changes in our overall operating environment and
financial performance could result in adjustments to
the valuation allowance.





FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">New Accounting
Pronouncements



In December 2001, the CICA issued
AcG 13 - "Hedging Relationships" ("AcG 13"). The guideline presents the views
of the Canadian
Accounting Standards Board on the identification, designation, documentation
and effectiveness of hedging relationships, for the
purpose of applying hedge accounting. The guideline is effective for all
fiscal years beginning on or after July 1 2003, which is the fiscal
year beginning December 1, 2003 for Corel. Corel does not believe that the
adoption of this guideline will have a material impact on its
results of operations or financial position.




In December 2002, the CICA issued
CICA 3475 - "Disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations" ("CICA
3475"). This
section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure of the disposal of long-lived assets. It also
establishes standards for the presentation and disclosure of discontinued
operations, whether or not they include long-lived assets. The
recommendations in this section should be applied to disposal activities
initiated by an enterprise's commitment to a plan on or after
May 1, 2003, with early adoption encouraged. Corel does not believe that the
adoption of this guideline will have a material impact on
its results of operations or financial position.




In December 2002, the CICA issued
CICA 3063 - "Impairment of long-lived assets" ("CICA 3063"). This section
establishes standards
for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the impairment of
long-lived assets. The Recommendations in this Section should be
applied prospectively for years beginning on or after April 1, 2003, which is
the fiscal year beginning December 1, 2003 for Corel, with
earlier application encouraged. Corel does not believe that the adoption of
this guideline will have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.




In February 2003, the CICA issued
AcG 14 - "Disclosure of Guarantees" ("AcG 15"). The guidelines require a
guarantor to disclose
certain information about its guarantees. The guideline was applicable for
annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1,
2003, which was the quarter beginning March 1, 2003, for Corel.




In April 2003, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 149, - "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 149"). This Statement clarifies the accounting guidance on derivative
instruments (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) and hedging activities that fall within the scope
of FASB Statement No. 133. The recommendation in this
Statement should be applied prospectively to contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003. Corel does not believe that the adoption of
this Statement may have a material impact in its results of
operations or financial position.




In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 150, - "Accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics
of both liabilities and
equity" ("SFAS 150"). This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The recommendations in the
Statement are effective for financial instruments entered into
or modified after May 31, 2003. Corel does not believe that the adoption of
this Statement will have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.




In June 2003, the CICA issued AcG
15 - "Consolidation of variable interest entities" ("AcG 15"). The guidelines
presents the views of
the Canadian Accounting Standard Board on the application of consolidation
principles to certain entities that are subject to control on
a basis other than ownership of voting interests. The guideline is effective
for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January
1, 2004, which is the quarter beginning March 1, 2004 for Corel. Corel does
not believe that the adoption of this guideline will have a
material impact on its results of operations and financial position.





FACE="Frutiger 45 Light" SIZE="-2">Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.





Interest rate
risk



Our exposure to market risk for
changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio of
cash equivalents and short-term
investments. Our primary objective with respect to investments is security of
principal. Investment criteria include selecting securities
having an acceptable credit rating and diversifying both issuers and terms to
maturity, which in no case exceed one year. Short-term
investments include only those securities with active secondary or resale
markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. Sustained low general
interest rates, particularly in the United States, could significantly reduce
our interest income. We do not use derivative financial
instruments in our investment portfolio.




At May 31, 2003, interest rates on
our investments ranged from 1.20% to 3.30% per annum (average rate
approximately 1.38% per
annum) with all investments maturing by the end of September 2003. Our cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments are
denominated predominantly in US dollars. As at May 31, 2003, maturity values
approximate fair values.






Foreign currency
risk



We conduct business worldwide.
Revenue and expenses are generated primarily in US dollars, but we do operate
in foreign currencies,
primarily in Canada and Europe and, to a lesser extent, in Australia, Latin
America, Japan and other Asian countries. We continue to monitor
our foreign currency exposure to minimize the impact on our business
operations. We have mitigated, and expect to continue to mitigate,
a portion of our currency exposure through decentralized sales, marketing and
support operations in which most costs are local currency
based. As at May 31, 2003 we had forward exchange contracts to purchase $9.0
million Canadian dollars with maturity dates ranging from
June 27, 2003 to February 6, 2004. As of May 31, 2002, we had contracts to
purchase $11.8 million Canadian dollars with maturity dates
ranging from March 11, 2002 to February 10, 2003.




Item 4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES



(a) Evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures. Corel's chief executive officer and chief financial
officer have evaluated the effectiveness
of Corel's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of June
16, 2003, (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such review, they have concluded
that, as of the Evaluation Date, Corel's disclosure controls
and procedures were effective to ensure that material information relating to
Corel and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known
to them by others within those entities.




(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in Corel's internal controls or to the
knowledge of Corel's chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, in other factors that could significantly
affect Corel's internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.




(c) Limitations on the
Effectiveness of Controls. Corel's management including the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, does
not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all error and all fraud.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the control system are met.

INFORMATION




Item 1. Legal and
Government Proceedings



On March 13, 2000, Corel was
served with a complaint filed against it and Dr. Michael C.J. Cowpland by
Plaintiffs Anthony Basilio and Fred
Spagnola in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Complaint was filed on behalf of all persons who purchased
or otherwise acquired Corel common shares between December 7, 1999 and
December 21, 1999 (the "Class Period"). The Complaint
alleges that the defendants violated various provisions of U.S. federal
securities laws, including Section 10(b), Section 20(a) and Rule 10b-5
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by misrepresenting or failing to
disclose material information about Corel's financial condition. The
Complaint seeks an unspecified amount of money damages. Further complaints
were filed thereafter, each making similar allegations and
referencing the same Class Period as the initial claims. The Court has
consolidated all pending cases in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
An Amended Consolidated Complaint was served on or about August 14, 2000,
which claims an expanded Class Period, from December
7, 1999 to March 20, 2000 (inclusive), and contains several new allegations.
On or about July 6, 2001, Corel and co-defendant Cowpland
filed their answers to the amended Complaint, denying all liability to
Plaintiffs and asserting various affirmative defences. By order dated
February 1, 2002, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for class certification
and on May 3, 2002, approved the expanded Class Period as
claimed in the Amended Consolidated Complaint. The Company has responded to
extensive interrogatories and plaintiffs have conducted
numerous depositions of both current and former Corel employees and directors.
Following the attendance of a mediation in April 2003,
the parties signed in June 2003 a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement
("the Settlement") to resolve all claims in the case. In entering
into the Settlement, the parties acknowledged that Corel continued to deny any
wrongdoing, that it had entered into the Settlement in view
of the uncertainties and expense of further litigation and that the Settlement
was not an admission of fault. On July 1, 2003, the Court
granted Preliminary Approval to the proposed Settlement. The class will be
notified about the Settlement and will be given the opportunity
to opt out or object to the Settlement. This notification will indicate the
terms of the Settlement. The Court will then determine whether
to grant final judicial approval to the Settlement. This procedure is expected
to last at least until the Fall of 2003.





In January 2002, Corel was
notified of a claim filed December 28, 2001, which also names Micrografx
(acquired by Corel in 2001) and 92
other defendants, by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT") and
Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EMI") in the U.S. District Court,
Eastern District of Texas, for alleged patent infringement of U.S. Patent No.
4,500,919 relating to a system and method of color
management. The subject patent expired in May 2002. Plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint on April 25, 2002 (the "Complaint"), increasing
the number of defendants to 214. The defendants include numerous large
corporations, including Microsoft, IBM, Dell, and Nikon. The
Complaint seeks injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of money damages.
Both Corel and Micrografx have licensed from Eastman
Kodak ("Kodak") a color management system included in the products identified
in the Complaint, and as such, Corel has claimed indemnity
from Kodak for losses arising from the Complaint, including for those claims
of co-defendants who are claiming indemnity from Corel. This
case is continuing in its discovery process. Corel strongly disagrees with the
Plaintiffs' claims and intends to vigorously defend this matter.





In May 2003, Corel was served with
a class action complaint against it, Derek Burney, James Baillie, Lyle Blair,
David Galloway, Hunter Grant,
James Hopkins, Jean-Louis Malouin, The Hon. Barbara McDougall, and Germaine
Gibara, each in their capacity as directors of Corel, and
Vector Capital. The claim was issued on April 23, 2003 and filed by Charles
Miller, a purported Corel shareholder, with the Supreme court
of the State of New York, County of Nassau ("the Complaint"). The suit arises
from the non-disclosure and standstill agreement for the
acquisition of Corel by Vector Capital, entered into by Corel and Vector on
March 24, 2003, and claims unspecified compensatory damages
and injunctive relief. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached
their duties to take steps to ensure that the shareholders receive
maximum value for their shares in a change of control transaction. On June 5,
2003, Corel and the Individual Defendants moved to dismiss
on the basis that the plaintiff's claim for breach of fiduciary duty is a
Canadian corporate law question which ought not be heard in the
courts of New York and that the court lacks personal jurisdiction over the
defendants. The plaintiff served Corel and the Individual
Defendants with an Amended Complaint on June 27, 2003, updating references to
the price of the acquisition as reflected in the Acquisition
Agreement signed between Corel and Vector on June 6, 2003. The allegations are
otherwise identical to the Complaint. Corel and the
Individual Defendants believe the case is without merit and will defend their
position vigorously.




Corel is a party to a number of
additional claims arising in the ordinary course of business relating to
employment, intellectual property and
other matters. Based on its review of the individual matters, Corel believes
that such claims, individually, will not have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations but, in
the aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on its business,
financial position or results of operations. Such possible effect cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time.
