Cautionary Statement
The subscriber and customer numbers presented above are approximate numbers for the period stated, are net of any customer or subscriber losses in the same period, represent our business at a single point in time and should not be viewed as predictive of our future subscriber or customer base. In addition, since we recognize revenue over the term of an agreement with a customer (typically 12-24 months), additional customers and subscribers may not have an immediate or substantial impact on our subscription and support revenues and therefore should not be used as a basis for predicting our revenues, expenses or growth rate.
