Summary
This Form 8-K/A filing by Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) serves as an amendment to a previously filed Form 8-K dated March 22, 2006. The amendment's primary purpose is to correct an error in the reporting of financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended March 3, 2006. Specifically, it clarifies the proper allocation of amortization of deferred compensation related to the Macromedia acquisition. The original press release incorrectly presented this amortization as a separate line item. The revised press release, attached as an exhibit, reclassifies this expense to be allocated across research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. This correction ensures a more accurate presentation of Adobe's operating expenses and overall financial performance for the quarter. Investors should note that this amendment provides a refined view of the company's Q1 2006 results, impacting the detailed breakdown of expenses rather than the overall reported record financial performance itself.
