On September 20, 2004, Adobe Systems Incorporated released financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and conducted a webcast conference call to discuss these results.   On this call Bruce Chizen, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, discussed the company’s growth prospects for future periods. However, the company is clarifying that Mr. Chizen did not intend to provide any guidance regarding fiscal 2005 financial results or expected growth rates as compared to fiscal 2004, and nothing stated in the call should be interpreted as providing any such guidance.
