Registering for self assessment in 2nd tax year

Hi, 
I just have a query and am quite confused with regards to the following statement on the HMRC website: “ You have to register with HMRC for Self Assessment by 5 October in your business’s second tax year”. 
Does this mean it is penalty free to register before the deadline in the 2nd tax year of your business running?
