Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could impair Active’s operating performance include, without limitation, Active’s ability to attract new customers and deepen relationships with existing customers; transition existing customers to ActiveWorks; develop a scalable, high performance technology infrastructure that can securely, efficiently and reliably handle increased usage globally; continue to manage and successfully integrate acquired businesses, applications and technologies; continue to build and support online communities and applications for activity and event participants; successfully introduce and deploy new features and functionality; and successfully expand our business outside of North America. More detailed information about Active’s risks are disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section contained in Active’s final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. We do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statement except as required by law.
