Forward-Looking Statements
​ Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
​ This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If any such uncertainties materialize or
if any of the assumptions proves incorrect, the results of salesforce.com, inc. could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements we make. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including any
projections of product or service availability, subscriber growth, earnings, revenues, or other financial items and any statements regarding strategies
or plans of management for future operations, statements of belief, any statements concerning new, planned, or upgraded services or technology
developments and customer contracts or use of our services.
​ The risks and uncertainties referred to above include – but are not limited to – risks associated with developing and delivering new functionality for
our service, new products and services, our new business model, our past operating losses, possible fluctuations in our operating results and rate of
growth, interruptions or delays in our Web hosting, breach of our security measures, the outcome of any litigation, risks associated with completed
and any possible mergers and acquisitions, the immature market in which we operate, our relatively limited operating history, our ability to expand,
retain, and motivate our employees and manage our growth, new releases of our service and successful customer deployment, our limited history
reselling non-salesforce.com products, and utilization and selling to larger enterprise customers. Further information on potential factors that could
affect the financial results of salesforce.com, inc. is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year and in our quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the most recent fiscal quarter. These documents and others containing important disclosures are available on the SEC
Filings section of the Investor Information section of our Web site.
