Description of Business

Netflix, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated on August 29, 1997 and began operations on April 14, 1998. The Company is an online movie rental subscription service, providing subscribers with access to a comprehensive library of titles. For a monthly subscription fee under the standard plan, subscribers can rent as many digital video discs (“DVDs”) as they want, with three movies out at a time, and keep them for as long as they like. There are no due dates and no late fees. DVDs are delivered directly to the subscriber’s address by first-class mail from distribution centers throughout the United States. The Company also provides background information on the Company’s Web site (www.netflix.com) on DVD releases, including critic reviews, member reviews, online trailers, ratings and personalized movie recommendations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2003 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2004. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of future operating results.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Stock Split

On January 16, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend on all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the stock split, the Company’s stockholders received one additional share for each share of common stock held on the record date of February 2, 2004. The additional shares of common stock were distributed on February 11, 2004. All common share and per-share amounts in the accompanying interim financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of DVD library, intangible assets and property and equipment, stock-based compensation expenses and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and borrowings approximates their carrying value due to their short maturity.

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are principally on deposit in short-term asset management accounts at two large financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

As of September 30, 2004, other assets included restricted cash of $800 related to a workers’ compensation insurance deposit.

Short-Term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments generally mature between one and five years from the purchase date. The Company has the ability to convert these short-term investments into cash at anytime without penalty. All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at market value. Net unrealized gains are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.

A decline in the market value of available-for-sale investments below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the investments is established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company reviews factors including the economic environment and market conditions, its ability and intent to hold the investments until a market price recovery, and the severity and duration of the impairment. No impairment charges were recorded for the periods presented.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company completed the sale of its short-term investments and recorded a realized loss of $274 from the transaction. All proceeds from the sale were re-invested in the Company’s money market fund, which is classified as cash equivalents.

Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes costs related to developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalization of costs begins after the conceptual formulation stage has been completed. Capitalized software costs are included in property and equipment, net, and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally one year.

DVD Library

The Company acquires DVDs from studios and distributors through either direct purchases or revenue sharing agreements. The revenue sharing agreements enable the Company to obtain DVDs at a lower upfront cost than under traditional direct purchase arrangements. Under the revenue sharing agreements, the Company shares a percentage of the actual net revenues generated by the use of each particular title with the studios over a fixed period of time, or the Title Term, which is typically twelve months for each DVD title. At the end of the Title Term, the Company has the option of either returning the DVD title to the studio or purchasing the title.

In addition, the Company remits an upfront payment to acquire titles from the studios and distributors under revenue sharing agreements. This payment includes a contractually specified initial fixed license fee that is capitalized and amortized in accordance with the Company’s DVD library amortization policy. This payment may also include a contractually specified prepayment of future revenue sharing obligations that is classified as prepaid revenue sharing expense and is charged to expense as future revenue sharing obligations are incurred.

Prior to July 1, 2004, the Company amortized the cost of its entire DVD library, including the capitalized portion of the initial fixed license fee, on a “sum-of-the-months” accelerated basis over one year. However, based on a periodic evaluation of both new release and back-catalogue utilization for amortization purposes, the Company determined that back-catalogue titles have a significantly longer life than previously estimated. As a result, the Company revised the estimate of useful life for the back-catalogue DVD library from a “sum of the months” accelerated method using a one year life to the same accelerated method of amortization using a three-year life. The purpose of this change was to more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes (“APB 20”), the change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from July 1, 2004. New releases will continue to be amortized over a one year period. As a result of the change in the estimated life of the back-catalogue library, total cost of revenues was $5.9 million lower, net income was $5.9 million higher and net income per diluted share was $0.09 higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

In addition, the Company has also determined that it is selling fewer previously rented DVDs than estimated but at an average selling price higher than historically estimated. The Company has therefore revised its estimate of salvage values, on direct purchase DVDs. For those direct purchase DVDs that the Company estimates it will sell at the end of their useful lives, a salvage value of $3.00 per DVD has been provided effective July 1, 2004. For those DVDs that the Company does not expect to sell, no salvage value is provided. As a result of this change in estimated salvage values, approximately $0.1 million lower salvage value was assigned to DVD purchases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Simultaneously with the adjustment to salvage value the Company recorded a write-off of approximately $1.9 million of non-recoverable salvage value. As a result of this write-off, total cost of revenues was $1.9 million higher, net income was $1.9 million lower and net income per diluted share was $0.03 lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

DVD library and accumulated amortization consisted of the following:

	As of
	December 31, 2003			September 30, 2004
DVD library, gross	$	114,186		$	191,312
Less accumulated amortization		(91,948	)		(149,809	)
DVD library, net	$	22,238		$	41,503

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets and accumulated amortization consisted of the following:

	As of
	December 31, 2003			September 30, 2004
Studio intangibles	$	11,528		$	11,528
Strategic marketing alliance intangibles		416			416
Intangible assets, gross		11,944			11,944
Less accumulated amortization		(8,996	)		(10,529	)
Intangible assets, net	$	2,948		$	1,415

Studio Intangible Assets:

During 2000, in connection with revenue sharing agreements with three studios, the Company agreed to issue each studio an equity interest equal to 1.204 percent of the Company’s fully diluted equity securities outstanding in the form of Series F Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”). In 2001, in connection with revenue sharing agreements with two additional studios, the Company agreed to issue each studio an equity interest equal to 1.204 percent of the Company’s fully diluted equity securities outstanding in the form of Series F Preferred Stock.

The Company’s obligation to maintain the studios’ equity interests at an aggregate of 6.02 percent of the Company’s fully diluted equity securities outstanding terminated immediately prior to its initial public offering in May 2002. The studios’ Series F Preferred Stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 3,192,830 shares of common stock upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering.

The Company measured the original issuances and any subsequent adjustments using the fair value of the securities at the issuance and any subsequent adjustment dates. The fair value was recorded as intangible assets with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The intangible assets are being amortized to cost of subscription revenues ratably over the remaining terms of the agreements which initial terms were three to five years.

Strategic Marketing Alliance Intangible Assets:

During 2001, in connection with a strategic marketing alliance agreement, the Company issued 416,440 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. These shares automatically converted into 277,626 shares of common stock upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. Under the agreement, the strategic partner committed to provide, on a best-efforts basis, a stipulated number of

impressions to a co-branded Web site and the Company’s Web site over a period of 24 months. In addition, the Company was allowed to use the partner’s trademark and logo in marketing the Company’s subscription services. The Company recognized the fair value of these instruments as intangible assets with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The intangible assets have been fully amortized on a straight-line basis to marketing expense over the two-year term of the agreement.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally up to three years, or the lease term, if applicable.

Revenue Recognition

Subscription revenues are recognized ratably during each subscriber’s monthly subscription period. Refunds to customers are recorded as a reduction of revenues. Revenues from sales of used DVDs are recorded upon shipment.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of subscription revenues consists of revenue sharing expenses, amortization of the DVD library, amortization of intangible assets related to equity instruments issued to studios, and postage and packaging expenses related to DVDs shipped to paying subscribers. Cost of DVD sales includes the salvage value of used DVDs that have been sold. Revenue sharing expenses are recorded as DVDs subject to revenue sharing agreements are shipped to subscribers.

Fulfillment

Fulfillment expenses represent those costs incurred in operating and staffing the Company’s fulfillment and customer service centers, including costs attributable to receiving, inspecting and warehousing the Company’s DVD library. Fulfillment expenses also include credit card fees.

Technology and Development

Technology and development expenses consist of payroll and related costs incurred in developing, testing, maintaining and modifying the Company’s Web site, recommendation service, downloading solutions, telecommunications systems and infrastructure and other internal-use software systems. Technology and development expenses also include depreciation on computer hardware and capitalized software.

Marketing

Marketing expenses consist of payroll and related costs, advertising, public relations, payments to marketing affiliates who drive subscriber traffic to the Company’s Web site and other costs related to promotional activities including revenue sharing expenses, postage and packaging expenses and DVD library amortization related to free-trial periods. The Company expenses these costs as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the second quarter of 2003, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic-value method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, for stock-based employee compensation. The Company elected to apply the retroactive restatement method under SFAS No. 148 and all prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the compensation costs that would have been recognized had the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 been applied to all awards granted to employees.

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company began granting stock options to its employees on a monthly basis. Such stock options are designated as non-qualified stock options and vest immediately, in comparison with the three to four-year vesting periods for stock options granted prior to the third quarter of 2003. As a result of immediate vesting, stock-based compensation expense determined under SFAS No. 123 is fully recognized upon the stock option grants. For those stock options granted prior to the third quarter of 2003 with three to four-year vesting periods, the Company continues to amortize the deferred compensation associated with the stock options over their remaining vesting periods.

(in thousands, except shares, per share data and percentages)

Fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2003	September 30, 2004	September 30, 2003	September 30, 2004
Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%	0%
Expected volatility	68%	76% -83%	66% -70%	65% - 83%
Risk-free interest rate	1.21%	2.08% -2.85%	1.21% -2.36%	1.47% -2.85%
Expected life (in years)	1.5	1.0 - 2.5	1.5 - 3.5	1.0 - 2.5

In estimating expected volatility, the Company considered historical volatility, volatility in market-traded options on its common stock and other relevant factors in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The Company will continue to monitor these and other relevant factors used to estimate expected volatility for future option grants. The Company bases its expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. Beginning with the second quarter of 2004, the Company bifurcated its option grants into two employee groupings who have exhibited different exercise behavior and changed the estimate of the expected life from 1.5 years for all option grants in the first quarter of 2004 to 1 year for one group and 2.5 years for the other group in the second quarter of 2004. Had the Company continued to use the expected life of 1.5 years for all option grants in the second quarter of 2004, stock-based compensation expense would have decreased by approximately $234, basic net income per share would have remained unchanged, and diluted net income per share would have increased by $0.01 per share.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist primarily of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method.

The shares used in the computation of net income per share are as follows (rounded to the nearest thousand):

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2003	September 30, 2004	September 30, 2003	September 30, 2004

Segment Information

The Company is an online movie rental subscription service and substantially all revenues are derived from monthly subscription fees. The Company is organized into two geographical segments: United States and International. We present our segment information along the same lines that our chief operating decision maker uses to review our operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. We measure operating results of our segments using an internal performance measure of direct segment operating expenses that excludes stock-based compensation which is not allocated to segment results. All other centrally-incurred operating costs are fully allocated to segment results. There are no internal revenue transactions between our reporting segments.

Summarized information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to lawsuits in the normal course of its business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. The Company believes that it has defenses to the cases set forth below and is vigorously contesting these matters. An unfavorable outcome of any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Between July 22 and September 9, 2004, seven purported securities class action suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and, in the aggregate, Reed Hastings, W. Barry McCarthy, Jr., and Leslie J. Kilgore. Specifically, the suits were filed by the following named plaintiffs, in each case individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, on the following dates: Todd Noel, July 22, 2004; Eugene Rausch, July 26, 2004; Zoe Myerson, August 6, 2004; Shay Crawford, August 9, 2004; Jan. B. Martin, August 16, 2004; Charles K. Lee, September 8, 2004; and Crayton D. Leavitt, September 9, 2004. The complaints allege violations of certain federal securities laws and seek unspecified damages on behalf of a class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between October 1, 2003 and July 15, 2004. The plaintiffs allege that the Company made false and misleading statements and omissions of material facts based on the Company’s disclosure regarding subscriber churn, claiming alleged violations by each named defendant of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and alleged violations by certain of the Company’s officers of Section 20A of Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On October 15, 2004, the plaintiff in one of the actions amended his complaint to extend the class period to October 14, 2004. The Company anticipates that all of the pending class actions will be consolidated and that an amended consolidated complaint will be filed.

On August 13, 2004, Miles L. Mitzner, a shareholder claiming to be acting on the Company’s behalf, filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against certain officers and certain current and former members of the board of directors, specifically Reed Hastings, W. Barry McCarthy, Jr., Jay C. Hoag, A. Robert Pisano, Michael Ramsay and Timothy M. Haley. Mr. Mitzner claims that the named defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing allegedly false and misleading statements to be made regarding, among other things, subscriber churn. Mr. Mitzner also claims that the named defendants illegally traded the Company’s stock while in possession of material nonpublic information. The lawsuit seeks, on behalf of the Company, unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, disgorgement of profits earned through alleged insider trading, recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.

On September 14, 2004, BTG International Inc. filed suit against the Company and other, unaffiliated companies in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Company infringed U.S. Patent No. 5,717,860 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Tracking the Navigation Path of a User on the World Wide Web.” The complaint also alleges infringement of another patent by certain of the other named defendants, not including the Company. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, interest and fees, and to permanently enjoin the defendants from infringing the patents in the future.

On September 23, 2004, Frank Chavez, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company in California Superior Court, City and County of San Francisco. The complaint makes false advertising, unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and other claims relating to the Company’s statements regarding DVD delivery times. The complaint seeks restitution, disgorgement, damages, and injunction and specific performance and other relief.

On October 19, 2004, Doris Staehr and Steve Staehr, shareholders claiming to be acting on behalf of the Company, filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara against certain officers and certain current and former members of the board of directors, specifically Reed Hastings, Barry McCarthy, Thomas R. Dillon, Leslie J. Kilgore, Richard Barton, Timothy Haley, Jay Hoag, A. Robert Pisano, Michael Schuh and Michael Ramsay. The plaintiffs claim that the named defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing allegedly false and misleading statements to be made regarding, among other things, subscriber churn. They also claim that the named defendants illegally traded the Company’s stock while in possession of material nonpublic information. In addition, the plaintiffs assert claims for abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks, on behalf of the Company, unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, disgorgement of profits earned through alleged insider trading, recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-1”). EITF 03-1 provides guidance on other-than-temporary impairment models for marketable debt and equity securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and SFAS No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method. EITF 03-1 developed a basic three-step model to evaluate whether an impairment is other-than-temporary. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved issuing a Staff Position to delay the requirement to record impairment losses under EITF 03-01, but broadened the delay’s scope to include additional types of securities. As proposed, the delay would have applied only to those debt securities described in paragraph 16 of EITF 03-01, the Consensus that provides guidance for determining whether an investment’s impairment is other-than-temporary and should be recognized in income. The approved delay will apply to all securities within the scope of EITF 03-01 and is expected to end when new guidance is issued and comes into effect. When effective, the application of EITF 03-1 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events

In October 2004, the Company announced that, effective November 1, 2004, the Company would reduce the subscription price of its standard service from $21.99 to $17.99. At that time, the Company also postponed, for at least one-year, the launch of its service in the United Kingdom so that the Company could focus on defending its market leadership position in the online movie rental subscription business in the United States, in anticipation of increased competition from new market entrants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding international expansion, developments in downloading, revenue per subscriber, impacts arising from our price change, subscriber churn, movie rentals, subscriber acquisition cost and liquidity. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ, including: our ability to effectively execute expansion of our business into downloading; managerial, operational, administrative and financial resource constraints; legal costs associated with defending litigation matters; competition; our ability to manage our growth, in particular managing our subscriber acquisition cost as well as the mix content delivered to our subscribers; our ability to attract new subscribers and retain existing subscribers; consumer spending on DVD players, DVDs and related products; and widespread consumer adoption of different modes of viewing in-home filmed entertainment. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included as part of our 2003 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2004.

We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or to explain why actual results differ.

Our Business

We are the largest online movie rental subscription service in the United States, providing approximately 2,229,000 subscribers access to a comprehensive library of more than 25,000 movie, television and other filmed entertainment titles. For a monthly subscription fee, our standard subscription plan allows subscribers to have three titles out at the same time with no due dates, late fees or shipping charges. Subscribers can view as many titles as they want in a month. Subscribers select titles at our Web site (www.netflix.com) aided by our proprietary recommendation service, receive them on DVD by first-class mail and return them to us at their convenience using our prepaid mailers. Once a title has been returned, we mail the next available title in a subscriber’s queue. For a more detailed discussion of our business and the risks and uncertainties associated with our business, please refer to our 2003 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2004.

On January 16, 2004, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend on all outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of the stock split, our stockholders received one additional share for each share of common stock held on the record date of February 2, 2004. The additional shares of common stock were distributed on February 11, 2004.

Key Business Metrics

Management periodically reviews certain key business metrics in order to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies, allocate resources and maximize the financial performance of our business. These key business metrics include the following:

• Subscriber Churn: Subscriber churn is a monthly measure defined as customer cancellations in the quarter divided by the sum of beginning subscribers and gross subscriber additions, then divided by three months. Customer cancellations in the quarter include cancellations from gross subscriber additions, which is why we include gross subscriber additions in the denominator. We grow our subscriber base either by adding new subscribers or by retaining existing subscribers. Subscriber churn is the key metric which allows management to evaluate whether we are retaining our existing subscribers in accordance with our business plans. An increase in subscriber churn may signal a deterioration in the quality of our service, or it may signal an unfavorable behavioral change in the mix of new subscribers. Lower subscriber churn means higher customer retention, faster revenue growth and lower marketing expenses as a percent of revenues for any given level of subscriber acquisition.

• Subscriber Acquisition Cost: Subscriber acquisition cost is defined as total marketing expense divided by total gross subscriber additions. Management reviews this metric closely to evaluate how effective our marketing programs are in acquiring new subscribers on an economical basis.

• Gross Margin: Management reviews gross margin in conjunction with subscriber churn and subscriber acquisition cost to target a desired operating margin. For example, movie rentals per average paying subscriber may increase, which depresses our gross margin. However, increased movie rentals per average paying subscriber may result in higher subscriber satisfaction, which reduces subscriber churn and increases word-of-mouth advertising about our service. As a result, marketing expense may fall as a percentage of revenues and operating margins rise, offsetting the

15

impact of a reduction in gross margin. We can also make trade-offs between our DVD library investments which have an inverse relationship with subscriber churn and subscriber acquisition cost. For example, an increase in our DVD library investments may improve customer satisfaction and lower subscriber churn, and hence increase the number of new subscribers acquired via word-of-mouth. This in turn may allow us to accelerate our subscriber growth for a given level of marketing spending.

Recent Developments and Initiatives

We have seen increased direct competition from Blockbuster, which launched its online service in August 2004, and we have recently learned that Amazon is likely to offer soon a service that directly competes with us. Given the changing competitive landscape, we announced in October 2004, that we would, effective November 1, 2004, reduce the subscription price of our standard service from $21.99 to $17.99. We also postponed, for at least one-year, the launch of our service in the United Kingdom so that we could focus on defending our market leadership position in the United States. In 2005, we intend to grow our subscriber base as fast as possible while maintaining break-even on an annual basis. Under this strategy, we may incur losses during times of heavy subscriber growth but will endeavor to break-even on a GAAP basis for the full year. Although our strategy is aimed at maintaining domestic market leadership in the face of increasing competition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against existing competitors, such as Blockbuster, Wal-Mart and Hollywood Entertainment, or against potential new entrants into the online movie rental subscription business such as Amazon, at our new pricing levels or at even lower price points in the future. If we are unable to successfully or profitably compete with current and new competitors, our business will be adversely affected and we may not be able to increase or maintain market share, revenues or profitability.

Barry McCarthy, who had announced plans to leave his position as Chief Financial Officer at the end of 2004, as previously disclosed, has announced that he would continue as the Chief Financial Officer for at least two additional years.

We will continue to invest resources to develop solutions for downloading movies to consumers. Our core strategy has been and remains to grow a large DVD subscription business; however, as technology and infrastructure develop to allow effective and convenient delivery of movies over the Internet, we intend to offer our subscribers the choice under one subscription of receiving their movies on DVD or by downloading, whichever they prefer. Although our solutions may be well in advance of meaningful demand for downloading services and we expect only modest consumer interest for the near term, we believe the demand for this technology will grow steadily over the next ten years.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements and accompanying notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require a company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

Amortization of DVD Library and Upfront Costs

We acquire DVDs from studios and distributors through either direct purchases or revenue sharing agreements. The revenue sharing agreements enable us to obtain DVDs at a lower upfront cost than under traditional direct purchase arrangements. Under the revenue sharing agreements, we share a percentage of the actual net revenues generated by the use of each particular title with the studios over a fixed period of time, or the Title Term, which is typically twelve months for each DVD title. At the end of the Title Term, we have the option of either returning the DVD title to the studio or purchasing the title.

In addition, we remit an upfront payment to acquire titles from the studios and distributors under revenue sharing agreements. This payment includes a contractually specified initial fixed license fee that is capitalized and amortized in accordance with our DVD library amortization policy. In some cases, this payment also includes a contractually specified prepayment of future revenue sharing obligations that is classified as prepaid revenue sharing expense and is charged to expense as future revenue sharing obligations are incurred.

Prior to July 1, 2004, we amortized the cost of our entire DVD library, including the capitalized portion of the initial fixed license fee, on a “sum-of-the-months” accelerated basis over one year. However, based on our periodic evaluation of both new release

16

and back-catalogue utilization for amortization purposes, we determined that back-catalogue titles have a significantly longer life than previously estimated. As a result, we have revised our estimate of useful life for the back-catalogue DVD library from a “sum of the months” accelerated method using a one year life to the same accelerated method of amortization using a three-year life. The purpose of this change is to more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In accordance with APB 20, the change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from July 1, 2004. New releases will continue to be amortized over a one year period. As a result of the change in the estimated life of the back-catalogue library, total cost of revenues was $5.9 million lower, net income was $5.9 million higher and net income per diluted share was $0.09 higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

We believe the use of the accelerated method is appropriate for the amortization of our DVD library and the initial fixed license fee because it approximates DVD utilization.

In addition, we have also determined that we are selling fewer previously rented DVDs than estimated but at an average selling price higher than historically estimated. We have therefore revised our estimate of salvage values, on direct purchase DVDs. For those direct purchase DVDs that we estimate we will sell at the end of their useful lives, a salvage value of $3.00 per DVD has been provided effective July 1, 2004. For those DVDs that we do not expect to sell, no salvage value is provided. As a result of this change in estimated salvage values, approximately $0.1 million lower salvage value was assigned to DVD purchases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Simultaneously with the adjustment to salvage value we recorded a write-off of approximately $1.9 million of non-recoverable salvage value. As a result of this write-off, total cost of revenues was $1.9 million higher, net income was $1.9 million lower and net income per diluted share was $0.03 lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

We will continue to periodically evaluate the useful lives and salvage values of our DVD library.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The application of SFAS No. 123 requires significant judgment, including the determination of the expected life and volatility for stock options. To determine the expected life, we review the historical pattern of exercises of stock options as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. In addition, our stock price has fluctuated significantly in recent periods, which affects our assumptions used in determining the volatility. We periodically review the assumptions used and changes in our assumptions could materially impact the amount of stock-based compensation expenses recorded in future periods.

Income Taxes

We record a tax provision, if any, for the anticipated tax consequences of our reported results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

No tax expense has yet been recorded because of our operating losses. Our deferred tax assets, primarily the tax benefits of these loss carryforwards, have been offset by a full valuation allowance because of our history of losses. If we subsequently determine that some or all deferred tax assets that were previously offset by a valuation allowance are realizable, the result would be a positive adjustment to earnings in the period such determination is made. We could have an income tax provision in future quarters if we become profitable for the current year and are subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax.

Average monthly subscription revenue per paying subscriber	$	20.27	$	22.50	11.0	%	$	20.20	$	21.26	5.2	%

We currently generate all of our revenues in the United States. We derive substantially all of our revenues from monthly subscription fees and recognize subscription revenues ratably during each subscriber’s monthly subscription period. In addition, we generate a small portion of our revenues from the sale of used DVDs and recognize such revenues when the DVDs are shipped.

The increase in our subscription revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily attributable to an increase in the average number of paying subscribers as summarized in the table above. We believe the increase in the number of paying subscribers was driven by the continuing consumer adoption of DVD players, increased consumer awareness of our service and continuing improvements in our service. In addition, the increase in our subscription revenues was partially attributable to an increase in the average monthly subscription revenue per paying subscriber, as a result of the price increase implemented in June 2004. As a result of our announced price decrease to be implemented in November 2004, we expect the average monthly subscription revenue per paying subscriber to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2004.

18

Subscriber churn was 5.6 percent in the third quarter of 2004, unchanged from the second quarter of 2004 and slightly up compared to 5.2 percent in the third quarter of 2003. Although subscriber churn declined gradually from 5.2 percent during the third quarter of 2003 to 4.7 percent during the first quarter of 2004, we saw a rise back to 5.6 percent during the second and third quarters of 2004. We believe this increase in subscriber churn was primarily driven by an increase in our subscriber cancellation rate resulting from subscriber reaction to the price increase that we announced in April 2004 and implemented in June 2004. We believe that subscriber churn will improve over the next two quarters based primarily on our recently announced price reduction; however, we can provide no assurance of this expected trend given the challenging competitive landscape. In May, Blockbuster rolled out its store-based subscription program on a nationwide basis and in August launched its online subscription service. If we are unable to compete effectively against existing competitors such as Blockbuster, Wal-Mart and Hollywood Entertainment, as well as against potential new entrants into the online movie rental subscription business such as Amazon, in both retaining our existing subscribers and attracting new subscribers, our subscriber churn may increase and our business will be adversely affected.

The following table presents our ending subscriber information:

Total cost of revenues	$	38,648	$	71,601	85.3	%	$	103,896	$	198,016	90.6	%

The increase in cost of subscription revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year period was primarily attributable to the following factors:

• The number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers increased 97 percent, which was driven by a 77 percent increase in the number of average paying subscribers coupled with an 11 percent increase in monthly movie rentals per average paying subscriber.

• Postage and packaging expenses increased by $14.3 million, representing a 91 percent increase. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of average paying subscribers and the number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in the per-unit postage and package cost.

• DVD amortization increased by $7.8 million, representing a 68 percent increase. This increase was primarily attributable to increased acquisitions for our DVD library. Excluding the July 1, 2004 change in estimate related to back-catalogue useful lives and the reduction in salvage values, DVD amortization increased by $11.5 million, representing a 100 percent increase.

• Revenue sharing expenses increased by $10.9 million, representing a 106 percent increase. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of average paying subscribers and the number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers.

19

The increase in cost of subscription revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year period was primarily attributable to the following factors:

• The number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers increased 107 percent, which was driven by an 80 percent increase in the number of average paying subscribers coupled with a 15 percent increase in monthly movie rentals per average paying subscriber.

• Postage and packaging expenses increased by $40.1 million, representing a 96 percent increase. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of average paying subscribers and the number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in the per-unit postage and package cost.

• DVD amortization increased by $29.3 million, representing a 112 percent increase. This increase was primarily attributable to increased acquisitions for our DVD library. Excluding the July 1, 2004 change in estimate related to back-catalogue useful lives and the reduction in salvage values, DVD amortization increased by $33.0 million, representing a 126 percent increase.

• Revenue sharing expenses increased by $25.1 million, representing a 75 percent increase. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of average paying subscribers and the number of DVDs mailed to paying subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in the percentage of DVDs subject to revenue sharing agreements mailed to paying subscribers.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004			September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Gross profit	$	33,554		$	70,043		$	87,162		$	164,319
Gross margin		46.5	%		49.5	%		45.6	%		45.4	%

Excluding the July 1, 2004 change in estimate of back-catalogue useful lives and the reduction in salvage values, gross margin would have been 46.6 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2004, almost identical to the same prior-year period. The gross margin was stable because the revenue and cost per paid shipment remained stable. The gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 would have been 44.2 percent, excluding the change in estimate of back-catalogue useful lives and the reduction in salvage values. The decrease in gross margin from 45.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to 44.2 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, was attributable to the revenue per paid shipment declining by more than the reduction in costs per paid shipment as movie rentals per average paying subscriber increased. The announced November 1, 2004 price reduction is expected to decrease gross margin by approximately 8 percent in the fourth quarter. If movie rentals per average paying subscriber increases, additional erosion in our gross margin will occur.

Operating Expenses:

	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004					September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004

As a percentage of revenues		11.5	%		10.6	%				11.5	%		11.1	%

The increase in fulfillment expenses in absolute dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs resulting from the higher volume of activities in our customer service and shipping centers, coupled with an increase in credit card fees as a result of the increase in subscriptions. In addition, the increase in fulfillment expenses was attributable to an increase in facility-related costs resulting from the relocation or expansion of certain of our shipping centers and the addition of new ones.

As a percentage of revenues, fulfillment expenses decreased primarily due to efficiencies which reduced the fulfillment costs per paid shipment by approximately 10 percent.

20

As we continue to expand and refine our fulfillment operations, we may see a further increase in movie rentals by our subscribers. If our subscriber retention does not increase or our operating margins do not improve to the extent necessary to offset the effect of increased fulfillment expenses, our operating results would be adversely affected.

Technology and Development

	Three Months Ended						Percent Change		Nine Months Ended						Percent Change
	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004					September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004

As a percentage of revenues		6.6	%		4.5	%				6.8	%		4.7	%

The increase in technology and development expenses in absolute dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily the result of an increase in personnel-related costs. As a percentage of revenues, technology and development expenses decreased primarily due to a greater increase in revenues than technology and development expenses.

Marketing

	Three Months Ended						Percent Change		Nine Months Ended						Percent Change
	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004					September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004

Subscriber acquisition cost	$	31.81		$	38.18		20.0	%	$	31.36		$	36.06		15.0	%

The increase in marketing expenses in absolute dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same-prior year periods was primarily attributable to an increase in marketing program costs, primarily online and television advertising, to attract new subscribers. In addition, personnel-related costs increased in order to support the higher volume of marketing activities.

Subscriber acquisition cost increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same-prior year periods as a result of an increase in marketing program spending, primarily the introduction of television advertising as an acquisition channel and increases in online advertising rates.

A changing competitive landscape, which could include an aggressive promotion by Blockbuster of its online service, entry of other video rental providers and the potential entry of Amazon into the online subscription rental business, could adversely impact our marketing expenditures as we seek to maintain and increase our market leadership. We continue to opportunistically adjust our mix of incentive based and fixed cost marketing programs to manage and optimize our marketing expense. If we are unable to maintain or replace our sources of subscribers with similarly effective sources, or if the cost of our existing sources increases, our subscriber levels may be affected adversely and our cost of marketing may increase.

21

The increase in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs, as well as an increase in insurance costs and professional fees, to support our growing operations and compliance requirements. As a percentage of revenues, the decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a greater increase in revenues than general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

	Three Months Ended						Percent Change		Nine Months Ended						Percent Change
	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004					September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Stock-based compensation	$	2,777		$	3,660		31.8	%	$	6,887		$	12,229		77.6	%
As a percentage of revenues		3.8	%		2.6	%				3.6	%		3.4	%

During the second quarter of 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for stock-based employee compensation. We elected to apply the retroactive restatement method under SFAS No. 148 and all prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the compensation costs that would have been recognized had the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 been applied to all awards granted to employees. We apply the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value our stock option grants.

During the third quarter of 2003, we began granting fully vested stock options to our employees on a monthly basis. Stock-based compensation expenses associated with these stock options are immediately recognized. For stock options granted prior to the third quarter of 2003 with three to four-year vesting periods, we continue to amortize the deferred compensation associated with these stock options over their remaining vesting periods.

The increase in stock-based compensation expenses in absolute dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily due to higher expenses resulting from larger grants, higher average grant prices and higher volatility assumptions in the current year periods than in the prior-year periods.

Other Income (Expense):

	Three Months Ended						Percent Change		Nine Months Ended						Percent Change
	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004					September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004

Interest and other income	$	534		$	579		8.4	%	$	1,675		$	1,474		(12.0	)%
As a percentage of revenues		0.7	%		0.4	%				0.9	%		0.3	%

Interest and other income consist primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, prior to the liquidation of our short-term investments during the second quarter of 2004.

The increase in interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year period was primarily due to higher average cash and cash equivalent balances. The decline in interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year period was primarily due to the realized loss of $274,000 from the sale of our short-term investments in the three months ended June 30, 2004.

As a percentage of revenues		(0.1	)%		—					(0.2	)%		—

Interest and other expense consist primarily of interest expense related to our interest-bearing obligations.

22

The decline in interest and other expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 in comparison with the same prior-year periods was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of a reduction in interest-bearing obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our activities primarily through a series of private placements of convertible preferred stock, subordinated promissory notes, our initial public offering and net cash generated from operating activities. As of September 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $167.8 million. We have generated net cash from operations during each quarter since the second quarter of 2001. Although we currently anticipate that cash flows from operations, together with our available funds, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the foreseeable future, we may require or choose to obtain additional financing. Our ability to obtain financing will depend on, among other things, our development efforts, business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004			September 30, 2003			September 30, 2004
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	21,986		$	49,268		$	58,433		$	115,034
Net cash used in investing activities		(14,482	)		(35,127	)		(41,891	)		(41,238	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		437			273			2,814			4,168

For the three months ended September 30, 2004, net cash provided by operating activities increased $27.3 million in comparison with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to net income adjusted for an increase in non-cash amortization of our DVD library as a result of increased purchases of titles, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of increased purchase volumes and an increase in stock-based compensation expenses, partially offset by an increased investment in prepaid expenses and other currents assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash provided by operating activities increased $56.6 million in comparison with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to net income adjusted for an increase in amortization of our DVD library as a result of increase purchases of titles, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of increased purchase volumes, an increase in stock-based compensation expenses and an increase in deferred revenue due to a larger subscriber base, partially offset by an increased investment in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in investing activities was $35.1 million in comparison with $14.5 million during the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the acquisition of titles for our library to support our larger subscriber base and increased purchases of property and equipment to support our growing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in investing activities increased $0.6 million in comparison with the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the acquisition of titles for our library to support our larger subscriber base and increased purchases of property and equipment to support our growing operations, offset by the proceeds from the sale of our short-term investments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2004, net cash provided by financing activities decreased $0.2 million in comparison with the same-prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower proceeds from our issuance of common stock under our employee stock plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash provided by financing activities increased $1.3 million in comparison with the same-prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the proceeds from our issuance of common stock under our employee stock plans and a decrease in the repayment of debt and other obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. Accordingly, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows are not subject to off-balance sheet risks.

23

Indemnification Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.

The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated, so the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. To date, we have not incurred material costs as a result of such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time maximizing income we receive from investments without significantly increased risk. Our cash equivalents are generally invested in money market funds, which are not subject to market risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. During the second quarter of 2004, we liquidated all of our short-term investments and re-invested the proceeds in a money market fund.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, could be detected within a company.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

24

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party to lawsuits in the normal course of its business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. We believe that we have defenses to the cases set forth below and are vigorously contesting these matters. An unfavorable outcome of any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Between July 22 and September 9, 2004, seven purported securities class action suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against us and, in the aggregate, Reed Hastings, W. Barry McCarthy, Jr., and Leslie J. Kilgore. Specifically, the suits were filed by the following named plaintiffs, in each case individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, on the following dates: Todd Noel, July 22, 2004; Eugene Rausch, July 26, 2004; Zoe Myerson, August 6, 2004; Shay Crawford, August 9, 2004; Jan. B. Martin, August 16, 2004; Charles K. Lee, September 8, 2004; and Crayton D. Leavitt, September 9, 2004. The complaints allege violations of certain federal securities laws and seek unspecified damages on behalf of a class of purchasers of our common stock between October 1, 2003 and July 15, 2004. The plaintiffs allege that we made false and misleading statements and omissions of material facts based on our disclosure regarding subscriber churn, claiming alleged violations by each named defendant of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and alleged violations by certain of our officers of Section 20A of Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On October 15, 2004, the plaintiff in one of the actions amended his complaint to extend the class period to October 14, 2004. We anticipate that all of the pending class actions will be consolidated and that an amended consolidated complaint will be filed.

On August 13, 2004, Miles L. Mitzner, a shareholder claiming to be acting on our behalf, filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against certain officers and certain current and former members of the board of directors, specifically Reed Hastings, W. Barry McCarthy, Jr., Jay C. Hoag, A. Robert Pisano, Michael Ramsay and Timothy M. Haley. Mr. Mitzner claims that the named defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing allegedly false and misleading statements to be made regarding, among other things, subscriber churn. Mr. Mitzner also claims that the named defendants illegally traded our stock while in possession of material nonpublic information. The lawsuit seeks, on our behalf, unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, disgorgement of profits earned through alleged insider trading, recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.

On September 14, 2004, BTG International Inc. filed suit against us and other, unaffiliated companies in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges that we infringed U.S. Patent No. 5,717,860 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Tracking the Navigation Path of a User on the World Wide Web.” The complaint also alleges infringement of another patent by certain of the other named defendants, not including us. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, interest and fees, and to permanently enjoin the defendants from infringing the patents in the future.

On September 23, 2004, Frank Chavez, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, filed a class action lawsuit against us in California Superior Court, City and County of San Francisco. The complaint makes false advertising, unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and other claims relating to our statements regarding DVD delivery times. The complaint seeks restitution, disgorgement, damages, and injunction and specific performance and other relief.

On October 19, 2004, Doris Staehr and Steve Staehr, shareholders claiming to be acting on our behalf, filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara against certain officers and certain current and former members of the board of directors, specifically Reed Hastings, Barry McCarthy, Thomas R. Dillon, Leslie J. Kilgore, Richard Barton, Timothy Haley, Jay Hoag, A. Robert Pisano, Michael Schuh and Michael Ramsay. The plaintiffs claim that the named defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing allegedly false and misleading statements to be made regarding, among other things, subscriber churn. They also claim that the named defendants illegally traded our stock while in possession of material nonpublic information. In addition, the plaintiffs assert claims for abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks, on our behalf, unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, disgorgement of profits earned through alleged insider trading, recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) Use of Proceeds:

We continue to maintain approximately $72.0 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering in May 2002 in cash and cash equivalents.
