shares from certain executive officers and directors of Descartes. Gross proceeds to us from the exercise of the<br />

over-allotment option were CAD 1,944,563 (equivalent to approximately $1.9 million at the time of the<br />

transaction). In addition, we received an aggregate of CAD 1,277,648 (equivalent to approximately $1.2 million<br />

at the time of the transaction) in proceeds from certain executive officers and directors of Descartes from their<br />

exercise of employee stock options to satisfy their respective obligations under the over-allotment option. We<br />

anticipate that the net proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, potential acquisitions<br />

and general working capital.<br />

We believe that, considering the above, we have sufficient liquidity to fund our current operating and working<br />

capital requirements, including the payment of current operating leases, and additional purchase price that may<br />

become payable pursuant to the terms of previously completed acquisitions. We also believe that we have the<br />

ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash and cash equivalents in the long term to meet planned growth targets<br />

and fund strategic transactions. Should additional future financing be undertaken, the proceeds from any such<br />

transaction could be utilized to fund strategic transactions or for general corporate purposes. We expect, from time<br />

to time, to consider select strategic transactions to create value and improve performance, which may include<br />

acquisitions, dispositions, restructurings, joint ventures and partnerships, and we may undertake a financing<br />

transaction in connection with any such potential strategic transaction.<br />

If any of our non-Canadian subsidiaries have earnings, our intention is that these earnings be re-invested in the<br />

subsidiary indefinitely. Accordingly, to date we have not encountered legal or practical restrictions on the abilities<br />

of our subsidiaries to repatriate money to Canada, even if such restrictions may exist in respect of certain foreign<br />

jurisdictions where we have subsidiaries. To the extent there are restrictions, they have not had a material effect<br />

on the ability of our Canadian parent to meet its financial obligations.<br />

The table set forth below provides a summary of cash flows for the years indicated in millions of dollars:<br />

Cash provided by operating activities was $19.9 million, $16.5 million and $18.7 million for 2011, 2010 and<br />

2009, respectively. For 2011, the $19.9 million of cash provided by operating activities resulted from $11.5<br />

million of net income, plus adjustments for $11.7 million of non-cash items included in net income and less $3.3<br />

million of cash used in changes in our operating assets and liabilities. For 2010, the $16.5 million of cash<br />

provided by operating activities resulted from $14.3 million of net income, plus adjustments for $3.9 million of<br />

non-cash items included in net income and less $1.7 million of cash used in changes in our operating assets and<br />

liabilities. For 2009, the $18.7 million of cash provided by operating activities resulted from $20.2 million of net<br />

income, less adjustments for $4.0 million of non-cash items included in net income and plus $2.5 million of cash<br />

used in changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2011<br />

compared to 2010, primarily due to net income adjusted for non-cash expenses which increased $5.0 million in<br />

2011 compared to 2010. This increase was partially offset by cash used in changes in our operating assets and<br />

liabilities which decreased $1.6 million in 2011 compared to 2010. Cash provided by operating activities<br />
