NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In management’s opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 on file with the SEC (our “Annual Report”).
With the exception of the discussion below, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the accounting standards to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) by eliminating the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requires the components of OCI to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two consecutive statements. We adopted the amended accounting standards at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2013 by electing to present consolidated statements of comprehensive income separate from the consolidated statements of income.
In February 2013, the FASB further amended the above accounting standards to improve the presentation of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in its entirety and by component by presenting the reclassification adjustments on either the face of the statement where net income is presented or in a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income are required to be cross referenced to related footnote disclosures that provide additional detail. We elected to early adopt the amended accounting standard at the beginning of our second quarter of fiscal 2013 by electing to present the reclassification adjustments and other required disclosures in a separate footnote.
The amended accounting standards only impact the financial statement presentation of OCI and do not change the components that are recognized in net income or OCI. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2.  ACQUISITIONS
On July 22, 2013, we completed our acquisition of privately held Neolane, a leader in cross-channel campaign management technology. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we began integrating Neolane into our Digital Marketing reportable segment. Neolane brings a platform for automation and execution of marketing campaigns across the web, e-mail, social, mobile, call center, direct mail, point of sale and other emerging channels which will drive consistent brand experiences and personalized campaigns for our customers.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total preliminary purchase price was allocated to Neolane's net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of July 22, 2013. The total preliminary purchase price for Neolane was approximately $616.5 million of which approximately $515.3 million was allocated to goodwill, $114.7 million to identifiable intangible assets and $13.5 million to net liabilities assumed. The impact of this acquisition was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to the acquisition of Neolane, we also completed a business acquisition on July 24, 2013. The impact of this acquisition was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On December 20, 2012, we completed our acquisition of privately held Behance, an online social media platform to showcase and discover creative work. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we began integrating Behance into our Digital Media reportable segment. Behance’s community and portfolio capabilities will accelerate our strategy to bring additional community features to

Creative Cloud. We have included the financial results of Behance in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on the acquisition date.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to Behance’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of December 20, 2012. The total final purchase price for Behance was approximately $111.1 million of which approximately $91.4 million was allocated to goodwill, $28.5 million to identifiable intangible assets and $8.8 million to net liabilities assumed. The impact of this acquisition was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On January 13, 2012, we completed our acquisition of privately held Efficient Frontier, a multi-channel digital ad buying and optimization company. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we began integrating Efficient Frontier into our Digital Marketing reportable segment. The Efficient Frontier business added cross-channel digital ad campaign forecasting, execution and optimization capabilities to our Adobe Marketing Cloud, along with a social marketing engagement platform and social ad buying capabilities. We have included the financial results of Efficient Frontier in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on the acquisition date.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to Efficient Frontier’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of January 13, 2012. The total final purchase price for Efficient Frontier was approximately $374.7 million of which approximately $291.4 million was allocated to goodwill, $122.7 million to identifiable intangible assets and $39.4 million to net liabilities assumed. The impact of this acquisition was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3.  CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. We classify all of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as “available-for-sale.” In general, these investments are free of trading restrictions. We carry these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses are recognized when realized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When we have determined that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is recognized in income. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.

We review our debt and marketable equity securities classified as short-term investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. We consider factors such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. If we believe that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of these securities, we write down these investments to fair value. For debt securities, the portion of the write-down related to credit loss would be recorded to interest and other income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Any portion not related to credit loss would be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For equity securities, the write-down would be recorded to investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the nine months ended August 30, 2013, we did not consider any of our investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
NOTE 4.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the nine months ended August 30, 2013.

See Note 3 for further information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments. 
Our fixed income available-for-sale securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers with a minimum credit rating of BBB and a weighted average credit rating of AA-. We value these securities based on pricing from pricing vendors who may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value. However, we classify all of our fixed income available-for-sale securities as having Level 2 inputs. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of our financial instruments having Level 2 inputs were derived from non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or pricing models such as discounted cash flow techniques. Our procedures include controls to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded such as comparing prices obtained from multiple independent sources.
Our deferred compensation plan assets consist of prime money market funds and mutual funds.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We also have direct investments in privately held companies accounted for under the cost method, which are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. If we determine that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, we write down the investment to its fair value. We estimate fair value of our cost method investments considering available information such as pricing in recent rounds of financing, current cash positions, earnings and cash flow forecasts, recent operational performance and any other readily available market data. For the three and nine months ended August 30, 2013, we determined there were other-than-temporary impairments of $2.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, on certain of our cost method investments which were written down to fair value.
In May 2013, management approved a plan to sell land, building and other assets located in Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Waltham property assets”). The Company classified the Waltham property assets with a total carrying amount of $47.4 million as assets held for sale and recorded these assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 31, 2013 at $23.6 million representing their fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value, net of estimated costs to sell was measured with the assistance of third-party valuation models which used inputs such as market comparable data for similar properties to be purchased by other operating and investing entities and discounted cash flow techniques as part of the analysis. The fair value measurement was categorized as Level 3 as significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation analysis. As a result, we recorded a write-down of $23.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. These charges are included in restructuring and other charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended August 30, 2013. In September 2013, we finalized the sale of the Waltham property assets for net proceeds of $24.3 million. The sale price, net of costs to sell, approximated the carrying value of the assets as of August 30, 2013. See Note 6 for further details regarding our assets held for sale.
As of August 30, 2013, the carrying value of our lease receivables approximated fair value, based on Level 2 observable inputs which include Treasury rates, LIBOR rates and applicable credit spreads. See Note 13 for further details regarding our investment in lease receivables. The fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $1.6 billion as of August 30, 2013, based on Level 2 quoted prices in inactive markets. See Note 14 for further details regarding our debt.
NOTE 5.  DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In countries outside the U.S., we transact business in U.S. Dollars and in various other currencies. We may use foreign exchange option contracts or forward contracts to hedge certain cash flow exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to twelve months. We enter into these foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenue in the normal course of business and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature.
We recognize these contracts as derivative instruments and they are classified as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured on a recurring basis at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. We record changes in the intrinsic value of these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction occurs, we reclassify the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to revenue. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we reclassify the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income at that time. If we do not elect hedge accounting, or the derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the changes in fair market value from period to period are recorded in interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
We also hedge our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These derivative instruments hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded to interest and other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of

Income. These derivative instruments do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged.
The bank counterparties to these contracts expose us to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, we only contract with counterparties who meet our minimum requirements as determined by our counterparty risk assessment process. We monitor ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades on at least a quarterly basis. Based on our ongoing assessment of counterparty risk, we may adjust our exposure to various counterparties. In addition, our hedging policy establishes maximum limits for each counterparty to mitigate any concentration of risk.
The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in net asset positions as of August 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 was $12.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively. These amounts represent the maximum exposure to loss at the reporting date as a result of all of the counterparties failing to perform as contracted. This exposure could be reduced by up to $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of liabilities included in master netting arrangements with those same counterparties.

NOTE 6.  ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In May 2013, management approved a plan to sell land, building and other assets located in Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Waltham property assets”) with a total carrying amount of $47.4 million. The decision to sell the Waltham property assets was largely based upon lack of operational needs for a facility of this size, in combination with recent improvements in market conditions for commercial real estate in the area. During May 2013, we began to actively market the Waltham property assets and we expected to sell the property within one year from management's approval of the plan. As of May 31, 2013, we classified the Waltham property assets as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at $23.6 million representing their fair value, net of estimated costs to sell which was the lesser of the fair value less cost to sell or carrying amount of the assets. We ceased recognizing depreciation expense on the Waltham property assets upon reclassification. As a result, we recorded a write-down of $23.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. These charges are included in restructuring and other related charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Waltham property assets remained classified as assets held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 30, 2013.
In September 2013, we finalized the sale of the Waltham property assets for net proceeds of $24.3 million which approximated the carrying value of the assets as of August 30, 2013.

NOTE 7.  GOODWILL AND PURCHASED AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Goodwill as of August 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 was $4.752 billion and $4.133 billion, respectively. The increase was primarily due to our acquisitions of Behance and Neolane. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we completed our annual goodwill impairment test associated with our three reporting units—Digital Media, Digital Marketing and Print and Publishing—and determined there was no impairment of goodwill.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we acquired rights to use certain technology for approximately $51.8 million. Of this cost, an estimated $25.3 million was related to future licensing rights that has been capitalized and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from five to ten years. We estimated that the remaining cost of approximately $26.5 million was related to historical use of licensing rights and was expensed as cost of product revenue.   

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, purchased intangibles associated with certain of our acquisitions in prior years became fully amortized and were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Excluding the expense associated with historical use of the acquired rights to use the technology discussed in the paragraph above, amortization expense related to purchased and other intangible assets was $42.2 million and $117.1 million for the three and nine months ended August 30, 2013, respectively. Comparatively, amortization expense was $36.1 million and $108.7 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2012, respectively. Of these amounts, $30.3 million and $83.3 million were included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended August 30, 2013, respectively, and $24.0 million and $72.6 million were included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2012, respectively.
As of August 30, 2013, we expect amortization expense in future periods to be as follows (in thousands):

Effective January 24, 2013, our Executive Compensation Committee modified our Performance Share Program by eliminating the use of qualitative performance objectives, with 100% of shares to be earned based on the achievement of an objective total stockholder return measure over a three-year performance period. Performance awards will be granted under the 2013 Program pursuant to the terms of our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2013 Program is to align key management and senior leadership with stockholders’ interests over the long term and to retain key employees. Performance share awards will be awarded and fully vest upon the Executive Compensation Committee's certification of the level of achievement following the three-year anniversary of the grant date on January 24, 2016. Participants in the 2013 Program generally have the ability to receive up to 200% of the target number of shares originally granted.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Executive Compensation Committee certified the actual performance achievement of participants in the 2012 Performance Share Program (the “2012 Program”). Based upon the achievement of specific and/or market-based performance goals outlined in the 2012 Program, participants had the ability to receive up to 150% of the target number of shares originally granted. Actual performance resulted in participants achieving 116% of target or approximately 1.3 million shares for the 2012 Program. One third of the shares under the 2012 Program vested in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the remaining two thirds vest evenly on the following two anniversaries of the grant, contingent upon the recipient's continued service to Adobe.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Executive Compensation Committee certified the actual performance achievement of participants in the 2011 Performance Share Program (the “2011 Program”). Based upon the achievement of goals outlined in the 2011 Program, participants had the ability to receive up to 150% of the target number of shares originally granted. Actual performance resulted in participants achieving 130% of target or approximately 0.5 million shares for the 2011 Program. One third of the shares under the 2011 Program vested in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the remaining two thirds vest evenly on the following two anniversaries of the grant, contingent upon the recipient's continued service to Adobe.
The following table sets forth the summary of performance share activity under our 2010, 2011 and 2012 programs, based upon share awards actually achieved, for the nine months ended August 30, 2013 and the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 (in thousands):

NOTE 10.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Plan
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan consisting of reductions in workforce and the consolidation of facilities in order to better align our resources around our Digital Media and Digital Marketing strategies.
During the nine months ended August 30, 2013, we continued to implement restructuring activities under this plan. Total costs incurred to date and expected to be incurred for closing redundant facilities are $9.7 million as all facilities under this plan have been exited as of August 30, 2013.
Other Restructuring Plans
Other restructuring plans include other Adobe plans and other plans associated with certain of our acquisitions that are substantially complete. We continue to make cash outlays to settle obligations under these plans, however the current impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is not significant. Our other restructuring plans primarily consist of the 2009 Restructuring Plan, which was implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, in order to appropriately align our costs in connection with our fiscal 2010 operating plan.
During the nine months ended August 30, 2013, we vacated approximately 21,000 square feet of sales facilities in Australia in connection with our other restructuring plans.
Summary of Restructuring Plans

Included in Other Adjustments are foreign currency translation adjustments and goodwill adjustments of $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Accrued restructuring charges of approximately $12.1 million as of August 30, 2013 includes $4.9 million recorded in accrued restructuring, current and $7.2 million related to long-term facilities obligations recorded in accrued restructuring, non-current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to pay accrued termination benefits through fiscal 2014 and facilities-related liabilities under contract through fiscal 2021 of which approximately 58% will be paid through 2015.

We account for treasury stock under the cost method. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are treasury stock gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a component of retained earnings in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
