On November 5, 2009, Accelrys, Inc. (the Company) held a conference call announcing its second quarter fiscal year 2010 financial results. During that conference call, the Company inadvertently stated that it continues to expect low double digit revenue growth this fiscal year. In fact, the Company continues to expect low single digit revenue growth this fiscal year.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward-Looking Statements:
Statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Companys expectations of revenue growth this fiscal year are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include risks that the Company will not achieve its anticipated revenue growth due to, among other possibilities, an inability to withstand negative conditions in the global economy, a lack of demand for or market acceptance of the Companys products, an inability to successfully complete and recognize revenue from the Companys service engagements as well as the risks and uncertainties that are contained from time to time in the Companys filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The Companys actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements due to these risks and uncertainties, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
