Safe Harbor
Safe harbor 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 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, 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, risks associated with 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 quarter ended July 31, 2011. This document and
others are available on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Information section of our Web site.
Any unreleased services or features referenced in this or other press releases or public statements are not currently available and may not be
delivered on time or at all. Customers who purchase our services should make the purchase decisions based upon features that are currently
available. Salesforce.com, inc. assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
